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.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
