Indeed

Chris Smalling looked superb today, he will be some player in 3 to 4 years time.


Mike Summerbee doesn't change does he

Agreed. Chris Smalling was my MOTM and I was surprised Rooney got it, Nani has been fantastic this season.

Mike Sumerbee just laughing on facebook about him, "we made more chances" Sky bring up the stats and suddenly he's not into them

I thought he was going to ask Jamie Redknapp to step outside

Nothing changes Arsenal are the only side capable of challenging.

I wish we could play Chelsea now, they look worse than ever

Luiz looked good though, he just needs to learn how to defend

I reckon CFC should send Torres to the Priory for a check up, it wouldn't surprise me if he has mental issues, I think we have all seen this since the WC, his body language is awful and it hasn't changed since the move imo, maybe if he came out he'd feel happier.

I see Giggs has signed a years extension. Fair play to him, he's looked after himself and is a credit to the game.

Quote Giggs pictured below said "Obviously I'm in the twilight my career, but if the gaffer thinks I can still do a job on the wing I'm extremely happy to sign for another 12 month. While I'm not as quick as I used to be, mentally I'm sharper than most and that gets me where I need to be. I'm pretty ecstatic to be honest"

Great news re Giggsy, I will probably shed a tear the day he retires.

I think I'll be the same.

He fully deserves 'United's greatest player' accolade IMO.

I was listening to talksport today and they were talking about Giggsy, I was thinking to myself that these last few seasons he's probably played some of his best football in the last 5-6 years. That yoga is really helping him prolong his career, no surprise it's top(was last time I heard) of the fitness DVD charts. Mostly bought by footballers I expect.

The whole team were a disgrace, but I'd concur with those comments.

I heard Rooney came on at half time, never saw him after that, other than a stupid challenge that got him booked.

I did think to myself that Arsenal's reserve side wouldn't have played that badly, shocking stuff.

I thought Wes Brown had a decent game so did Rafael & Fabio before they went off. Yep Rooney did nothing bar give the ball away. It is concerning if we get some long term injuries.

I meant to post that yesterday. Couldnt wait for that game to finish. Only players who actually noticeable were Smalling, Nani (but needed longer studs) and Scholesy when he came on. Not sure why Hernandez didnt get a crack for the last 20. Worrying ahead of our upcoming schedule.

I thought Smalling was massive again, to think he has only made 32 competitive professional appearances in his career is pretty amazing because he looks so classy and acomplished, 6ft 4" and about 5ft wide!!

I think England and United have found a centre half for the next 12 years

My new favourite player

Hooray someone finally agree's with me on the token sweaty, if Gav was still here there'd be a riot if he read that.

The little **** (No10) looked a yard off the pace in his head.

Agree the season has been 5hite, we have looked good in about 4 games and we're all being lulled into this false sense of security by our league position, but it has gone on that long I just hope we hold on and collapse over that line to take No 19.

I'd agree with your comments on Smalling but he already looks a better bet than Evans. And as for someone with so few games at any level he looked good enough in a last 16 Champs League match and wasn't too shabby against City (MoM), that's no easy task.

He'll take Terry's place within 18 months in the England set up, lets be fair he's better than Terry already

At least Giggsy is back today. We've been severely lacking on the wing. Its a shame JSP injured himself. But agreed main weakness is midfield creativity as carrick and fletcher are nothing but work horses. When Scholes and Giggs arent playing we really lack imagination.

Shame as other than that he seemed far sharper with some killer *****. Not in Hernandez's league though. That finish for his first was sublime.
