If you're a gloryhunting ManUre fan, you might want to look away now because you won't have a clue about this.
I'm bloody proud of my club as a whole today and I'm a damn sight prouder than I would be if I was a fan of that bunch who played in red today. We lost 5-0. Fair enough. Let's review the 5 goals:
1) Referee gave a free kick when the correct decision was to play on for a fair tackle or issue a yellow card for a dive. Jammy free kick deflects in, poor goalkeeping?
2) Ronaldo mishits a pass that sneaks through
3) ManUre player controls the ball with his hand before shooting
4) Bit flukey, but a good goal. Got a really good contact with the ball and it flew right in the top corner. No arguments with that.
5) Jammy deflected free kick that should have been given to Stoke in the first place.
If the referee had been fair, then ManUre would have finished with 10 men (Ronaldo off) and the score would have been 1-1, with us putting away a penalty for a blatant second half handball.
I'm proud of the fact that we didn't need to play for free kicks like they did, that we stood on our feet the whole game and didn't resort to rolling on the floor. I'm proud of the fact that we didn't have to rely on a bent referee to get a result. I'm proud of the fact that every single one of our players is as hard as nails and that I won't have to be justifying the actions of Ronaldo for the umpteenth time tonight.
I'm proud of our support. We kept Ronaldo out of the game in the first half, he was too busy whining to the referee and gesturing at us. At 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 and beyond we outsung them. We actually drowned out their goal celebrations. ManUre fans call it small time. Do you know what it is? It's called supporting your team. Us proper clubs with a history, the likes of us and Brazil, we know what support's about. I'm proud of our Delilah as the teams lined up. The ManUre players looked intimidated, they were all looking at us.
As for ManUre, I can only pity them, even in defeat.

Last couple of paragrahs are spot on. But to be fair, and I hope you dont mind me saying, I think your analysis of the goals may be a little naieve.

Its good that you support your team, but you seem to be a bit blinkered in your view of the game. Unfortunately the fact that the team gets great support doesn't win us points. We were comprehensively beaten today, and wouldn't have scored if we had played all week.

Be interesting to see if the pundits agree with you....its certainly a different perspective on a 5-0 drubbing

I for one think any journo worth his salt should copy n paste that for his match report. I feel you've slightly favoured manUre but I guess thats what we've come to expect!
Overall a very well balanced match report

I'm just watching Football First and I'm sure the first goal was taken further in field than where the foul was committed. Anyway Sorro should have saved it and on such incidents are matches won and lost especially when playing the top four. P.S. Our fans are coming through loud and clear! Shit fans are making as much noise as him >>>>  P.P.S. It's just like watching Brazil!  |

Not sure I'd agree with the detail Miss Tickledescent but certainly with the message.
Lets face it, we were outclassed by £250million quids worth of football talent (at least) but most of which is for sale to the highest bidder.
I was behind enemy lines in their Block N, with a great view of the Stoke fans who sang, and sang, and sang, whatever the score. They were truly something to be proud of.
Who gives a tinkers cuss about this result. West Brom, Hull, Newky Pukey and Fulham are far more important.
For now.
Watch out Man U, we'll be back.

OK our fans were tremendous and never let up and that is a real credit, but we were TOTALLY OUTCLASSED. Passing, movement, hard work, finishing - they had it all. Their team cost 5 gazillion pounds - ours approx. £20million. It showed. I suggest we put this one behind us, lesson learned, put your anti Man Utd bile aside because it's wearing thin, and move on to more important matters on how we are going to beat WBA without Fuller. |
