Well I thought we had that in the bag but cant really grumble overall as de gea kept us in it. Not seen too many replays but the rooney pen claim looked clear cut even though I have seen some comments from spurs fan who disagree (funnily enough). Still we have had plenty of decent shouts go our way this season.

Clear penalty yes, but you win some, and you lose some

As was stated during the match – his shop stopping prowess has never really been in question. His handling of crosses and his kicks under pressure have been the issue although I would say the latter has improved somewhat.
Anyone see the picture floating around of one of Chelski’s coaching staff stood behind Rafa wearing the team coat but with RDM on it?

I have always felt his footwork has been excellent, and has always been great passer of the ball out from the back.
I agree, he has been like Dracula with some crosses and those punches always make me poo a bit !

Valdes is keen to leave Barca next season, I dont see them begging him to stay but I do hear they're interested in De Gea, speaks volumes.
The kid is still learning, he has mad foul ups admitedly but he has also made some great saves and his distribution from the back is pretty impressive imho.
And yes his laydee is very nice

Fergie shrewdly building another team in the background for the next manager

That interest has been ongoing for at least 6 months or so, SAF still looking for the next Roy Keane, maybe he believes he's found his man.

No.
In other news, I was listening to the radio about this horseracing fix with, amongst others, MarK Wilson. As much as I find Man Utd distasteful, the way the media described him as 'ex Man Utd player' was lazy journalism, even trying to inflate the story with mention of Man Utd.
Two or three games, wasn't it? Hardly a regular.

Chopra's reaction to his ban was to say he hoped this would help with his gambling addiction, no remorse, no apology.
Classic response after being found guilty.

Some people think they are just untouchable.

Scholes has had his car nicked from his drive after leaving it idling to defrost while he went back inside.
Well, when I say car, it was his Chevy something or other that was given to him by the club so I'm not sure he'll miss it...
Apparently, when he heard them driving away, he ran outside to tackle them but got there late...

Get your coat?! I didn't think you were that way inclined...
LOL apart from the last line, it's all true.
Re the last line, I thought that I might as well get it in before anyone else does
