refs love city.
Play off final anyone??????
champage supernovak, southampton at home is the easiest fixture of the season and City scraped a win. If you think thats impressive thats up to you, missing lots of chances isnt a sign of a good display either. Liverpool had more shots than any other team last season but very few goals (thats Suarez for you) and I don't remember anyone describing them as impressive.
southampton at home is the easiest fixture of the season
I will bookmark that statement.
Easiest fixture? Bit disrespectful, no?
Sure it's a game City would expect to win but to call out any team in the Premier League as being the easiest fixture is beyond comprehension.
Everton at home last year for you, easy? Wigan away, easy? Blackburn on New Years Eve, easy?!
Any team in the Premier League can beat any of the others on their day as every team contains quality. To be honest, your comment is like something you hear the annoying, doesn't-know-his-Arsenal-from-his-elbow guy in the workplace come out with every Monday morning. Funnily enough, those guys are usually your dyed in the wool armchair United supporters too.
Its even easier than Blackburn at home.
was listening to the 606 five live and the number of united fans complaining about Mancini wanting to sign another striker because of Aguero being injured was fairly high. They were also saying we (the fans) were whinging about how an injury could affect us which was a little rich as we had to put up with "if Vidic hadn't been injured" for half of last season.
But the worst part of last nights coverage of 606 was the fact that the "pundits" were agreeing that we had enough strikers because we had Ade and RSC that Mancini had bought. MMMMM good point etc. God knows were they got them from I mean even Alan Green would have picked them up on that, oh and we still have Jo as well.
Do we still have Darius Vasell and Samaras in our 87 man squad?
Probably not Boris though I did think I saw Sun trying to sneak on in place of Zab.
Bit late joining this thread..only came back today...
In our opening game of last season against a newly promoted club, it took us 70 minutes to get the better of them and both Swansea and us had pretty good seasons.
Saints did better against us than Swansea did so all is not doom and gloom for them. They will need to learn PDQ how to close out a game though
Well United have got the hardest game of the season out of the way, should be plain sailing for them now.
Southampton attacked us when we played too open and it almost cost us the game. Our finishing is still not good enough (which was my main gripe last season), but the spirit and will to win is there. And a win is a win. United tracked us so closely last season by scraping wins, it's the sign of champions, they say.
Not complaining though, it's good to see we can come back from behind. I'd prefer it if we'd just win, rather than the faffing about, though.
"southampton at home is the easiest fixture of the season and City scraped a win"
In the past 12 months I've seen much worse performances at our place than Southampton; Stoke, Fulham, Wigan, Bolton and yourselves to name but a few.
Funny isn't it, because we won by one goal it's the easiest game of the season.
Old toilet last season was the easiest game we had!
Lets see what criticism United get today, probably not much.
As we know Goodison is not a easy fixture, but the result is not the point here, more to the point is just how poorly they actually played.
None of the pundits on Sky or MOTD could agree as to whether Tevez was offside. Even with the benefit of freezing the play, which the assistant ref does not have, it was inconclusive the defenders and Tevez were all in line with each other and the benefit when its unclear is meant to go with the attacking player. To hear the rags you would think it was a clear cut case of Tevez being at least a yard offside,
