I haven't been updated with the injury news but I thought Nani was out with a dislocated shoulder?

Rooney delivers again. Man of the match performance. Foster didn't put a foot wrong, and that save against Benitez () was world class. Should give him the confidence to go on and fill in for Van der Sar. Expected Owen to put that away, but hell, he'll get more chances. A win is a win though, and we've not seen an opening day victory for quite some time.

Can we request for a sarcastic smiley? Seems like I rattled someones cage haha.

why isnt anyone fapping over fabios performance last night?i think he did really great..fabiolegend!!

but..but..it wont be funny anymore that waay..

huhhu.. izzit hard to tell if we telling joke.. 

Agent Bruce fails to deliver!

True. We no need to be so critical on Owen's performance yet. Yes, he played badly BUT so does most of the team just now.

Plus to be fair, this is only like his 2nd/3rd competitive matches for us. Playing in competitive matches is not the same like pre-season games so give him time.

Anyway, I am off now and before I go, reminder: Do Not Feed The Troll [if any]. Use The Report Button and the moderator team will deal with it.

You think it's right that Eduardo got a suspension over his 'supposed dive'? I think the GK got a slight touch on him, but he surely made the most of it. But I think it's a good start. If let's say a player clearly fell down without anybody touching him, then they can start banning the player for a few games. That would sent out a message to the would be divers not to do it, or at least made them think twice before diving. It's the only way to curb the diving really. Right now they get away without punishment almost. Also referee seems to pick and choose who they want to book for diving. We can see lots of instances where a player falls down,  but got told by the referee to get up, but for some others they would get booked straight away.
