I've been known to sit in the same position all the way through the match if we're playing well, Not daring to move incase we start playing shit.

Got pins and needles in my arms and legs a few times.

i changed into my lucky tracksuit bottoms at half time and wore 1 slipper.

The missus cousin, husband and 6 year old boy turned up, the husband and boy would not shut the £#%&! up! The boy kept shouting OFFSIDE! every time the ball was played, by anyone, anywhere. I could've £#%&!ing killed him. I £#%&!ing hate having to pay attention to people when United are on, not amused.

But then, in his own way and at his own pace, he does things that not many other players can do. The way he set Rooney up at the end of the first half, for example. The way he brings down balls under pressure can't be overrated, especially today with Vidic and Evans (in particular) playing such sloppy balls out of the back.

Exactly. The number of times tonight he kept possession when being challenged - kicked - by two or three players was amazing. I think his real value will be seen next season.

I moved the remote control from one arm of the sofa to the other, and rearranged the photos on the mantelpiece, and changed my United calendar back to April where Giggsy is the player for April.

In the car on the way back, £#%&!in delighted had to pay £50 for the privelage but worth it. Saw few people getting chucked out in the Wigan end. Hope it wasn't mark corrigan!! Let's not over analyse tonight we didn't play well really but the united spirit came through. Styles is a #@&%!

Can anyone sum these 17 pages up for me, please?


Have the usual suspects been on form?

Word.

I had the pleasure of watching this in a pub full of plastic scouse fans

i sometimes find myself standing up watching a game on the box and getting close to the tv or sometimes even walking around like lunatic.

i don't think i can sit down for more than 10 minutes.
probably get that from my days before I decided to not go because of the glazers.

don't suppose anyone could serve up a link to the goals ? anyone able to put an english commentary crust on my football pie can be considered a superstar - for tonight at least.
