No need to worry about it mate.
- Tevez will probably start the next game in place of Rooney
- We have cover for every position on the pitch
- Reading did not try and advance past the half way line, it happens
- At least when United win the league this season we won't have to listen to Chelsea complain about their injury list
- United ...[text shortened]... lets see if the only title challengers out there can take advantage of Uniteds early bad luck.
....against a 10 man Reading team😉

Originally posted by Rooney Once a BlueSame old story indeed - you talking crap!
New season, same old story.
- Poor refs, somehow Pennant avoids a red card when raising his arms and trying to provoke a fight, mind you some say having Pennant is like playing with 10 men anyway
.
Take off the red devil tinted specs and watch the Pennant incident again. He's fouled, get's up in a strop and is pushed TWICE by Bouma by the shoulders. He does not raise his hands.
I'm no fan of Pennant but on this occasion he did nothing wrong. Don't let silly little things like facts get in the way of a good opportunity to show yourself up.

Originally posted by Angry BoyI may be wrong, from what I remember Pennant was on a yellow card, he did raise his hands fairly high to push back and continued to fight with hand bags in an aggressive manner.

Any player that acts like a hard case and starts pushing other players about should get an automatic yellow card and so sent off, it doesn't matter if they were provoked or not.

You never win anything with kids?
It doesn't matter if the game was at home or away, to win the league you need an equally impressive home and away record, its just one game and not really an issue for Manchester United at the moment.
Also, maybe attacking players like:-
- Tevez, Ronaldo, Giggs, Scholes, Nani, Anderson, Saha
Will help United get through the 'crisis'.
Tevez and Ronaldo will win the league on their own for United, muppet!
I must admit having:-
- Rooney, Tevez, Saha, Solskjaer, Anderson, Hargreaves, Park, Neville, Foster, Heinz unavailable was an unexpected problem against 9 defenders but as Spurs will soon see, not too much of a problem.
And I don't think Sir Alex will be losing too much sleep just yet, he has won the Premier League 9 times and this is definatey the best Manchester United squad I have ever seen.
Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson will be 5 of the top 10 players in the world very soon, Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo already are!

So yes, you are wrong.
Completely.
Again.

Originally posted by PalynkaI did watch the Liverpool game and have to say its more of the same.

Liverpool are still completely relient on Gerrard.
The second half was very dull, Liverpool are still at least 20 points off the pace and like I thought Torres is a 10 goal a season player. His reputation in Spain was to miss the easy ones and score the hard ones.
Exactly NOT what Liverpool need.
If Gerrard stays fit, its probably his last season playing at this level of intensity at his age and Liverpool may scrape 4th place.
I still think though that they will probably finish 6th or 7th though this season.
Basically Rafa has brought about 50 players to Liverpool and they range from terrible to quite good, overall just not good enough I'm afraid.
Of all the Liverpool players Rafa has bought I don't think a single one of them would get in a 17 man Manchester United Team/Squad.
The three quite good ones Rafa has (Torres, Kuyt and Masherano) have no chance of getting into a fit United 17 man Squad.
Gerrard would make the bench though and even may get a fair share of games challenging Scholes for his place, but he's not a Rafa buy.
I did watch the Manchester United game.
We have so much creativity its just unbelieavable but lacked composure to put the ball away.
It happens early in the season when playing against 6,8,10 defenders but I think Tevez will add more cutting edge up front, small blip, no big deal.
Usually United get 5 points from the first 3 games, so I don't think the league is over just yet.
I didn't watch the Chelsea game, only seen the highlights.
Its horrible watching them its like watching Liverpool of the 70's, so dull, and eventually they get an odd goal to win.
And Palynka I went to every Mancheter United home game from 1998 to 2003 and some away games, includinig the CL final in Barcelona.
However I moved to LA in 2004 so can't make the home games anymore, but I think I can safely say thay I'm more of a supporter than 90% of the people that post on this sports site.
