Is that what they call supporting your team through the good and the bad?

Mind you you’re not a Manc so you probably only support UTD when their winning

Utd where poor today. And saying so doesn't mean you don't support them, just that you are disappointed.

Would you prefer to talk boll#cks and say how good they were today?

Even the likes of Barcelona have off days, it doesn’t been the players are inept or awful. I'd have Welbeck in any team.

I wouldn't, he's terrible. His finishing ratio to chances is crap (did you see that random header today?). I've seen plenty of games he's been in this and last season and I do not think he's good enough for the Utd first team; period. That's my opinion, don't like it? Meh, you'll get over it.

You're welcome to him.

I wouldn't say Welbeck is totally inept, he's just not good enough for United. I think he'd be adequate for a bottom-half-of-the-table team (Liverpool for example...).

Kinda agree, not sure if he will ever be truly good enough for Utd.

But to Liverpool seriously? sure they need more than 1 striker, but Suarez playing with Welbeck, never going to happen is? think about it.

Of course not. Suarez will be at Man City by then.

More seriously, I can see him doing better at the likes of Sunderland than at United.

Lol, but not sure, Suarez seems to like being the big fish in a small pond.

Yes Welbeck would be deemed a success in a team like Sunderland.

And Addi, i'm sure even you can work it out.

I take it you are refering to the matter of racist comments from suarez ?

Do we not have any black players at liverpool

How many more times are Utd going to be able to win, if they give away the first goal?

Sad to say, but time has now defo caught up with Scholes.
Was brilliant to see him come back and do so well last year, but this has to be his last, still a legend, but just not up to it any more

No, no, it's okay; said waiter will get Torres playing again. And clearly that's Chelski's only problem.

Scholes should be coming on for the last 20 mins if we need a change, not starting games.

Giggs should have retired at the end of last season unfortunately.

Not the best Manager we've had, nor was it the best style we ever played, but I still remember him taking over from the Doc

RIP Mr Sexton

Well to save some Liversh1te having the last post on a Utd themed thread (whether I can read it or not is a different matter)...

2 nil

Whether deserved so far or not Utd have been clinical and taken their chances in the first half! How often this season have we said that?

City look kelp, match seems subdued but we're winning thus far (touch wood).
