I can't see City clawing it back this season.

United looked highly determined yesterday and thoroughly deserved to beat us.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 11 Feb 2013, 9:28 am

Indeed Afro. I though it was a great team effort to ensure you didnt have a change of getting into the game. Jones did well taking Fellaini out the game

by **Afro** Mon 11 Feb 2013, 9:31 am

One thing that does annoy me is the praise of Phil Jones man-marking Fellaini.

If anyone had been watching any of our recent games would see that Fellaini has not been playing well in recent weeks and had pretty much being doing exactly the same as he did yesterday and getting frustrated. And that is with no one marking him.

Sod - comfort yourself in the knowledge that you still have the highest placed English manager in the league

by **Afro** Mon 11 Feb 2013, 9:33 am

I typed most of that before I read your post.

It looked effective, but it didn't really do much more than has been happening recently anyway

by sodhat Mon 11 Feb 2013, 9:40 am

11th is the highest placed English manager in the league? Viva hoofball!

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 11 Feb 2013, 9:40 am

Afrojit, he hasn't been playing well since his return from 3 game ban but with two goals last week, everyone know he can always be a threat. Jones did well, maybe a bit over hyped in the media but hes English, its going to happen.

by **Afro** Mon 11 Feb 2013, 9:43 am

Yep, although I think he might only be competing with Arry, McDermott and Pardew.

True Zinedine. He is always a threat, but he just has been getting very frustrated recently

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 11 Feb 2013, 9:45 am

Think CL football & a move to a CL club is on his mind? I mean he's aware Chelsea want him.

Anyone want to beat any of these:
1 Paulinho - £13m
2 Rafael van der Vaart - £16m
3 Davide Petrucci - £500k

I rest my case. When Robbie Savage is delivering tactical analysis, you know something is up.

by GSC Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:21 am

I met Adel Taarabt in the referees room beforehand and shook his hand. I could see in his face that he was thinking 'oh no, he's going to be man-marking me'.

iirc QPR won that game.

I reckon Taarabt was thinking, "I can't wait to nutmeg this idiot."

Will the new English hope be man marking Ronaldo at the Bernabeu?

by sodhat Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:31 am

Maybe he thought he was a very poncey looking referee?

by Marky Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:32 am

Ronaldo will have a shocker against Man U on Wednesday, whoever man marks him will get the praise.

by Guest Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:34 am

I'm hoping Ronaldo gets to go up against Rio, he'll murder the guy.

by **Afro** Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:34 am

The most impressive part of Phil Jones' performance was that even when he went off and was sat on the bench, Fellaini still played poorly

by GSC Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:34 am

Stick world class carrick on him

BigFellasAfro wrote:The most impressive part of Phil Jones' performance was that even when he went off and was sat on the bench, Fellaini still played poorly

It must have been because he was so frustrated by Phil Jones' marking job that he just couldn't refocus on the game.

From what I saw of it, it wasn't a great game. I only caught the last bit when it was well over though.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:45 am

all the haters are out. Little bit of praise for a Man United player and look at you lot.
Fellaini player rubbish because hes rubbish, Jones contributed nothing to it. Joe Hart is still the best keeper in the world and Wilshere is amazing, hes like Jesus himself.

Its going to be hard at the Bernabeu, I dont think we will get a win. Away goal would be nice, draw. If we lose I hope its not by too many so we can overturn it at Old Trafford.

by sodhat Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:47 am

I reckon Real are fragile if you have a go at them. I wouldn't be surprised at United progressing at all.

To be fair to Wilshere, even you must admit he's come back as a quality player. I'd quite like a midfield of him and Jones for England actually.

by GSC Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:49 am

I want to see Mourinho go City. Just because itd be hilarious.

by sodhat Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:50 am

There seems a lot of respect between him and Sir Alex though. Not saying it won't happen, but I doubt he'd be gobbing off about United all the time.

by GSC Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:51 am

He and Guardiola used to be best mates at Barca. Mourinho gets the mind games going

by Guest Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:53 am

Zebs I'd stay quiet if I were you. United are in big trouble don't you know Laugh

You're forgetting good ol Chrissy Hootun

by **Afro** Mon 11 Feb 2013, 11:23 am

Chris Hughton played for Ireland, therefore he has chosen to be Irish in my eyes and isn't an English manager

Why?

He was claiming Hughton is Irish, when he's blatantly English.

Whenever I'm feeling down, I can always rely on feminists for a few laughs.

by **Afro** Mon 11 Feb 2013, 11:41 am

Was that this morning? I wasn't listening.

How is it blatant from a football perspective, when he has chosen to play for Ireland?

Truth is, he was born in England and is English from any other perspective, but playing for Ireland does make it less obvious from a footballing perspective.

Olly was right though. I just forgot about him when I came up with my original list

by **Afro** Mon 11 Feb 2013, 11:45 am

Anyway, what about my offer for Cole on Friday?

by Guest Mon 11 Feb 2013, 11:47 am

Forgot about that...give me until tonight? xx

Will do. No rush from me except that if you decide you want the cash option, my lawyers offer will expire tomorrow
