Come on Villah!

I'll take any luck that comes our way! We ain't been getting much lately. Believe me though i'd rather it came in the match against Liverpool than you.

So far so good. 0-1 Agbonlahor.

Awesome goal, the best ever.

Rooney booked for diving. Good.

For me today was a perfect example of why Arsenal's pretty, pretty football is so worthless. If we were playing Arsenal they'd have got nothing because they'd have been passing around the box, waiting for the perfect opportunity and it'd never come.

You put the ball in the box, hassled for the ball, got three ugly, lucky goals and take a point from it.

My weekend >

3 lucky goals ?

Evertons point was WELL deserved.

First goal. Weak as pee header. Cech should have at least put it round for the corner. Instead he's too slow, the ball hits the post, comes out, hits Cech and goes in.

Second goal. Ball in the box, JT should have cleared it, Everton player does well to rob him, poor shot going wide, hits grounded Chelsea player and bounces perfectly for the only Everton player within a mile to slot in.

Third goal. Drogba wins defensive header. Ball strikes the back of Saha's head and loops into the net.

Which one of those goals wasn't a lucky goal?

I'm not saying Everton didn't deserve the point. Chelsea still had half an hour to win the game and I don't remember us really getting close. But from a CFC point of view, those were three terrible, terrible goals to give away. From any perspective, they were lucky goals.

Can't believe Utd missed the chance to go joint top

We could've played for four weeks and we still wouldn't have scored.

I can't believe Fergie started with a 4-5-1 formation.



Fletcher was caught out far too many times by their wingers, the sooner O'Shea and Rafael are fit the better. Rooney was awful, so wasteful, his passing at times was woeful. Berbatov missed a brilliant chance to score an equaliser.

We need a player who can work the perfect final ball to get through defences badly. Still, it's a good job Chelsea dropped points so a loss although dissappointing, isn't the end of the world.

I hope they don't talk about Wayne's dive on MOTD, they must be consistent with their ignorance to English divers

Unfortunately the one without a defense.

Seems incredible that we're still in contention for 4th when the defending is so poor, both individually and collectively. No doubt we'll be in the market for defenders in January, but I'm not sure that there will be any available that are of the type we need. Its not surprising that we chased Terry so hard in the summer. And even if we do bring in new players its unlikely that the collective defending will improve in time.

At least we kept going despite being in arrears 3 times and going down to 10 men. Only one defeat so far isnt entirely a fluke.

Did Bradford City get a fee when you transferred your support to Man Citeh?

www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/6 ... td+%28Manc Chinese consortium said to be interested in making a bid for United. Don't see why this would be leaked to the press before the bid was made to the Glazers.

You had one but unfortunately Sir Alex swapped him for 80 mill

If anything I "transferred" my support from Bradford Park Avenue. Watched both teams in the 60's (had relatives in Manchester that I would often stay with). Followed BPA in both Division 4 and Northern Premier League but eventually their demise became too painful to continue, especially when they moved to Valley Parade.

What were united supposed to do? He wanted to play for the worlds greatest club. No point keeping an unhappy player.

We've been linked with an Eastern takeover for years now, I won't believe it until something materialises.

It's a pretty poor headline "£1billion Chinese Takeaway at Manchester United" "The story that will wok football". The NOTW think they're onto something after last week leaking the near £100million United fork out in expenses to companies and clowns and now this. The NOTW and their journos are now banned from Carrington (or at least they were this week) by Gill, who is obviously keen to hide these details.



TBF he does have a point. Having an independant time keeper works in rugby, and it'd certainly work in football, it'd improve the whole added time decision making.

Great work by MOTD to block out Fergie's rant at the fourth official BTW.

Indeed, and the clock counting down greatly adds to the drama.

It's the referee who blows the whistle. It's the referee who is close at hand to see whether teams are wasting time. It's the referee who can give warnings to sides if he thinks they are pushing things.

But no, someone sat down in the stands is better off to make a decision on the correct amount of time to add??? Do me a favour. You had at least 75 minutes in playing time to get yourself an equaliser. You failed, so Fergie detracts from that failure by whining about added time.

I don't know why the clock isn't stopped when the ball goes out and so on. I remember reading somewhere that the ball is in play for about 50/60 minutes on average in football, that's just over 2/3 of a game, pretty shocking when people are spending £40.00 a ticket. I've always thought they should just stop the clock for every corner, free kick and goal kick that takes a considerable amount of time, i.e. when Stoke pile every player forward for a standard throw in, or Everton for just about anything in the opposition half.
