No Hernandez? But he's our Gary Lineker x 10! :( This is such a crucial game too!!! Surely it would make more sense to dispense with him against Newcastle on Tuesday? I hope Sir Alex knows what he is doing.


I want Hernandez! and at least one of the da Silva brothers, and Berbatov, and Nani...!!!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...


Back from Wembley drowning our sorrows with chocolate brazils and strawberry cider.


I have one question for Sir Alex: what was your logic behind keeping back Hernandez? I just don't get it!


Even after it was evident that not including Hernandez was a mistake, he still delayed bringing him on until the 2nd half. Why? Can someone come up with a reason? I'm sure that had Hernandez been there from the outset, we would have scored at least twice in the first half. Damn...


Nani and Parke - you were a waste of space today. As for Scholes - you are a disgrace...


I hate to admit it, but City were the better side today.


Ah well...still a brilliant day though. I won't forget this day for a long time (thanks Jenayr for getting the tickets).


WEM-BER-LEY,

WEM-BER-LEY,

We didn't win the match,

But we had a jolly day.

WEM-BER-LEY,

WEM-BER-LEY.....


Roll on Tuesday against Newcastle.

But I didn't lose on United because Paddypower had a deal that if the game saw a red card, all losing bets would be refunded....ha ha...cheers Paul Scholes, I lost nothing and Paddypower lost a fortune lol. I really do find the best gambling deals in town.


You asked about Hernandez. He's not a player that is so effective as a lone striker. He needs an anchorman to run off from and with Rooney suspended I suspect Ferguson's thinking was that Berbatov would do better as a lone striker if he got isolated. Once Scholes was sent off there was no hope of Hernandez being effective. Both teams were playing a similar game/ formation but after half time City were the team who upped the tempo and basically went out to win the game.


Worth mentioning though that were it not for Joe Hart (who imo was the real man of the match) United would have been at least 1-0 up at half time.

Not a great fan of Rooney but he was missed yesterday by United. I can't see Scholes playing on next season though I hope he gets a chance to redeem himself before the end of the season, after that tackle. I'd have thought that, though bad, as it was quite high on the thigh it was less dangerous than the one on Nani at Liverpool for example.

> post match interviews.


Ha ha indeed...we really couldn't get out of there fast enough TBH. The taunting/chanting from City fans got a bit much after a while. It was relentless...it just went on and on and on. Still, I can't blame them - I would have done the same had the shoe been on the other foot.


I forgot to mention Berbatov above: another waste of space yesterday. All in all, United may as well not have bothered turning up: the effect wouldn't have been a lot different. City deserved to win: no question.


As for THAT shocking tackle...it was full of malice: no remorse from Scholes whatsoever. Red card fully deserved. And agreed, probably the worst this season.


Grumpy United Fan.

      Resident Doctors

      By ianr · Posted

      This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon

      The Office Party - how it used to be.

      That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
