Absolutely. And the United game is one of those where the bubble of optimism could be burst what with some of their
top players returning. I fully expect this season to be a roller-coster but as you said ..

They're just much more fluid and at the same time disciplined. Bodes well, but not expecting overnight miracles.

I can't recommend football365 highly enough. It's worth it for the daily MediaWatch if nothing else

At least you lot occasionally win stuff. I don't think we've ever reached the dawn for it to be false!

Surely you mean "turning corners"

Man U should've been 2/3-0 up at half time. So dominant they're making Liverpool look like a Sunday league team.

Hmmm... no doubt it's going to change in the second half.

It certainly is.

That's the funniest own goal I've seen in ages. John O'Shea's fat arse wobbling forward, desperately trying to hack it out. Whatever happens for the rest of this game, that's a major highlight.

BOLLOCKS.

Ah well. Didn't deserve that. We looked well off the pace. We stepped up in the second half, but none of our key players had a good game.

Utd weren't that great, either. More huff and puff than genuine flair. They were pretty much propelled by Ferdinand's return. All the goals came from poorly defended set-pieces.

Tssccchhhhh.

Have to admit that Ronaldo was tearing your midfield/defence to shreds at times though. Very unlucky to have missed by inches after beating 4 of your players.
Still, United are no where near what they could be

He was, yeah. But that game was more about us being a bit shit on the night than you being good. I hate those. Much rather lose to a good all-round contest.
