Routine win for United despite Wiley's efforts(although should have sent Paddy off). How Fagan escaped a card is beyond me.

No way was it a routine win, up until Dawson scored the own goal we was right in it and had some decent chances at 1-1, we didnt deserve to lose 3-1 as we played some decent stuff at times but we didnt take our chances.

Hopefully Brown will play same formation/tactics at Bolton tomorrow night

As people from Hull can't seem to grasp basic definitions, here is the definition of routine.

An unvarying procedure. - Or something which happens most of the time.

The Champions, who are second in the league should (and normally do) beat most other teams. That's why they're the Champions and near the top of the league. When the Champions are playing a team that are 2nd from bottom, they should (and normally do) win. Therefore, victory is routine for them.

Nobody has said the victory was easy, which is what yourself and Sexual Deviant seem to think Mark said.

I think that's a tad unfair on Carrick TBH. Sure he had a poor start to the season, but after a Fergie bollocking, he picked his form back up and was close to his very best before having to be shipped to centre back. He did pretty well there TBH, considering he was getting a different CB partner just about every two minutes.

He wasn't at his best yesterday don't get me wrong, but he was one of our better players. I agree that when paired with Scholes he isn't at his best, although this wasn't the case when he first joined us. For some reason Carrick always seems to be the one that gets all the criticism when United have an off day, when most of the time he's one of the better players. Yesterday, Giggs, Rooney, Berbatov, Valencia and Evra all had worse games than Carrick.



i wasn't including the appearances at CB - rough job for anyone

I sometimes think he lacks belief in his own ability. He actually strode forward with the ball at his feet with some purpose at least once against Hull, which was nice to see as no one seems to do it much now.

Man Utd are favourites for the title for me. Their injury problems are huge and an obvious reason for them dropping points. Chelsea don't have anything like that excuse. With United's experience of a stronger 2nd half of the season I think they'll win a 4th title.

I thought we played well against Brum and deserved the 3 points on the balance of play, but it was one of them games where the ball just won't go in. Today I thought we were dreadful and for 70 minutes was hating on Ancelotti and his stupid diamond nonsense.

Brum had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside at the weekend but I think that Fulham's goal today was given when it should have been flagged. The goalscorer was 4 yards from goal when the ball was knocked down towards him and nobody was playing him on. It wasn't mentioned on Football First, my live feed or MotD so far but I've seen it a few times and can't see how it hasn't been picked up on.

Sad news, hope she recovers.

From that article though I get the feeling that they don't want this to be in the news. Given that Man Utd are still claiming him to be out because he's injured, and his agent saying that it is "private business" surely that's clear that they don't want this made public.

When fans of the self-styled "Big 4" talk like this, my p!ss boils. It really is disrespectful.

Then again, i've just remembered who their manager is.

Watching on HD showed his dandruff up in his pre-match chat. Har.


When were we troubled? A few long range efforts and a lot of huffing and puffing, we upped our game when we needed to.

Wouldn't say it's the club trying to keep it quite just a case of looking after there player. Maybe they could have said he's been given leave for personal reasons but i do not think it's clubs place to announce that his wife has had a brain hemmorage.

Looks like the injury crisis is starting to ease at Old Trafford with Neville and Scholes back in the squad for tommorrow night, O'shea and Evans should be ready in two weeks so hopefully we can kick on in the new year and overtake Chelski

Have city fans really nicknamed Mancini as Bobby Manc? Deary me. :roll:

Looking forward to Villa vs Liverpool tonight. Should be a good game. Fancy the scousers to nick it though.

Should be a cracking game. We have a great record at Villa Park but to be honest, the way this season has gone, I can see it falling by the wayside tonight. Don't think it will be completely one sided though, as you say, I think one team might nick it in the last 10.
