It’s VDS who is unsettling the defence. We are on the mend and if we win our game in hand only 3 points off the lead. Bit worried about Pool’s form but it won’t last (will it?)

Has Ewood Park EVER been full?

I’d have to agree with you here. We definitely do not look 100%. But we are looking much better now than we did a month ago. I think the Carling Cup victory over Middlesbrough was a nice turning point for United. Since then we’ve gone 4-0 with a goal differential of 10 - 1.

Of course the Carling Cup is/was not so much as important as the prem or the ucl, but has significance nonetheless.

I think we’re just now starting to find our stride and will begin to gather more and more confidence as the season goes. We do have a bit of a hill to climb now, given that we are in 8th on the table, but it’s only October. We still have more than enough time to do some damage and climb the ranks.

We had nowt to beat. However, we must remember that it is good for the soul of the opposition to give them a spanking when that is what they expect, which is what we did here. What we definitely must STOP doing is giving the opposition a goal start before we start to play (eg maggots) or getting an early goal then sending the team off to look at the local cultural highspots whilst the opposition carry on playing (eg dippers).

Agree. Should have been 6-0. Tevez will score on Saturday and so will Berbatov, whose shirt, Alice band and silky locks will no doubt all remain pristine. And he will probably remain moody and disinterested all season - but score 20+ goals, er… maybe.

JK is a head case, always has been, clearly still is and probably always will be. Which stone did Ashley find him under?

Newcastle, it is probably an understatement to say, are unlikely to prosper under his “leadership”. Pity he wasn’t in charge when they came to OT.

Bloody Nora !!!

The best bit: “Journalist: Enjoyed getting back into the swing of things?
JK: Absolutely. I’ve loved every moment of it.”

Comment on United 2 - 0 Bolton by Mattybonce

Currently watching us play the Danish boys and Rooney has just scored. I feel we need to smash a team a little bit so we can get back in the groove of scoring 3-4 goals a game. Remember 1998/99 when we beat Brondby 6-2 away? A result like that would do us no harm.

Interesting to read the reports on the Bolton game. I looked at your comments and I have to say I am a fan of Davies, purely because he is ridiculously predictable and limited, but he gives 100% every game and more importantly, every centre half who plays against him knows he’s been in a game when he comes off a 90 minute tussle with Davies.

Not a single centre half to of so far played against Berbatov in a United shirt will feel the same way.
Talented he may be, but I bet the kit man doesn’t even have to wash his kit after a match, there’s not a grain of mud or a bead of sweat to be seen! Come on Berba, you have cut the mustard at Spurs but this is Man Utd and you still have to prove yourself!

As a final note, I was delighted to see Hull beat Arsenal for a number of reasons. 1. Whisper is quietly, but they may just be out of the title race, they will lose at least 8 games this season (2 lost already) and that is to many. 2. Phil Brown is a true football man and a genuine good guy, badly treated at Derby he is proving at Hull to be a very good young manager. 3. I live in England, where we have the treat of the London press, who ridiculously overrate anything Arsenal ever do, not sure if you guys were aware that Arsenal actually created football in about 2004 with the invincibles? Yes they are talented, yes Wenger is a bit of a genius, yes Fabregas in particular is ridiculously good for his age. But the way they are built up as superhuman makes it all the sweeter when they lose a game they shouldn’t!

Until the next time Gentlemen…………….

Quite correct, Jono. At least it only happens every six years or so.

Don’t worry lads. We will beat this lot in Spain. We have had our spineless day at anfield. Remember that in 1999 we only won two of the six group stage matches.
