f***ing massive win this. Got a message from a Pool fan last nite saying they had the mark of champions. Wtf was that then? Macheda. Remember the name. I can imagine the number of Youtube views on the kids will soar. What a way to stop the rot. This would prob have a bigger effect on the lads then a 1-0 win. The belief is back. Once Ronnie's shot went in I knew we were gonna take it home. Wicked.

Capped off a terrific weekend for me. Got smashed at Speedzone, just back from Jamiroquai n now this. Awesome

Yeah our def was no match for Carew, Agbonlahor n Young. But good thing is Vida n Rio should be back to take over. So, nice to take the points despite our shortcomings.

Yeap, had some womanly tears in my eyes as well. And I screamed like a gal when Kiko's shot went in. Ahh the things I do for United

good job!! it's all down to blame on AV!
but that young lad..is something interesting!
Sell ronaldo n bring this new fella up!! who knws he's better than the "actors"

Im chuffed, believe me I am. Was obvious though that our def was inferior to Villa's attacks. Poor marking for both the goals.

Bitter bitter McMahon. Someone ask him to shut his trap.

Take a bow son, take a bow.

suddenli so many macheda fanboys in here.      his goal reminds me of the goal when T.Henry scored against us during barthez was in goal. almost similar.

on a sidenote, how come alien never join us in gath?? ntah-ntah, he's a she??    a female Mod.   

Exactly. For a player having a poor season (according to the blinkered media), 20 goals so far is a good return

21. “If he was an inch taller he’d be the best centre half in Britain. His father is 6ft 2in - I’d check the milkman.” (Sir Alex Ferguson on Gary Neville)

didnt know that the gaffer has a great sense of humor...

Just notice that Liverpool will play Blackburn earlier than our game. So, we will play catch up again. 

I for one am hoping it will be that way.

Yes, the defeat hurts and no one wants their team to exit from the CL. I do feel though that the thumping we got means we realistically only have the league to try for now. If it was 1 - 1 or 1 - 2, the possibility of making it through is a lot higher so the team would definitely have both competitions in mind. Conceding 3 away goals though just makes the tie almost all sewn up for Chelsea so why not just concentrate on the league?

I'm not advocating giving up of course, but if I had to prioritize given the circumstances, the league would be it.

Your mountain is only a B-cup la, ours is like E-cup!

Ours still requires a bigger handful

Problem is that we have been saying that [about Nani] for quite some time yet we do not see any improvement from him so far! 

Wow, since 5 am nobody posted?

Lineup for Sunderland

VDS
Neville Vida Oshea Evra

Fletcher to help Neville track back. Scholes rested after Porto.
