    Oh gosh. I was so worried that boro were going to get an equalizer. 2-1, I'm happy with that. We're 10th in the table now.

    How long is that now since Boro actually beat us? Longer than when Sunderland last beat us. :laugh:

    Horrible. I hate Pug. Hopefully this won't dent our confidence too much for Villa.

    Oh well, there's no shame in losing to United, and we certainly played better against them than we have in previous matches (although Toure should have held on to that Rooney shot, if you ask me ). Bloody West Ham though, you can never trust them to finish a job.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    Well of course. They are Pardew's formidable army, after all.

    We played brilliantly in the first half; let anyone call us a one-man team and I'll HUH them. In fact, I guess you're right that there's no shame in losing to them; we didn't concede through awful mistakes -- they (Pug especially ) just played better. Hopefully Henry is all well-rested for the Villa game, and they won't let this affect them and depress them.

    Toure's save was a pretty fine one xD

    Arsenal are a bit of a one-man team really. JOKE!

    Should've been 3-0, but happy enough with that.

    Robbie Fowler truly is God.

    Also, congratulations to Park Ji-Sung, aka "the guy United only signed to make themselves popular in Asia, but Sir Redface rates below Darren Fletcher so that shows how good he really is." (you can see why he prefers Park Ji-Sung) for scoring.

    Park is great. I don't care where he's from, I'd have him play every game. And he's not a midfielder, he's a winger, so I don't see why there's a comparison with Fletcher - who notably hasn't been anywhere near Park in recent times. Given that Fletcher isn't playing and a winger and defender are playing the midfield at the moment, I'd say Fletcher isn't rated very highly in Alex's mind right now.

    Read the usernames, not the sigs/avatars.

    Still harbouring hopes for Chelsea to drop four points and for Man U to take over. Would love to see Jose's interviews and the like should that happen... I can only imagine what he'd be like.

    He's not a winger, because if he was, Man Utd would play 4-3-3, and Man Utd don't play 4-3-3, after the disaster earlier in the season. He's a side midfielder and a centre midfielder.

    Although on PES5 I set Man Utd up as 4-3-3 with Saha as CF, Rooney in the hole and Ronaldo as a winger, which is pretty much how he plays because he hardly ever tracks back and defends. Speaking of the which, PES5 also says Park's an attacking midfielder and a defensive midfielder.

    A lot of commentators don't seem to understand what a winger is though.

    Tonight was an entertaining match. Quite unexpected aswell, I thought that Charlton were going to beat Boro.

    4-2 though, the smoggies must be happy with the result. It was an entertaining match but I was busy scanning the crowd for friends who were at the match most of the time!

    Gabriel Heinze might be back on Friday.

    EDIT: But Saha may be out for the rest of the season. !

    EDIT: Yay he isn't.

    Your friends must have good taste.

    I was at the match, and it was pretty damn good. If only our defence was a bit pacier, I think we would have had a very easy ride. And now we're in two semi-finals!

    Listening to the local radio last night, it seems as if most of the North East is behind Boro, even the Geordies. Then again, I suspect it's because they'll be able to come down to the Riverside and have a little look at some nice trophies. It beats going all the way across to Manchester to have a look. Maybe one day they'll have some of their own...

    Yeah, Park isn't a winger. He's an attacking midfielder. Wingers tend to stick to the touchline a lot more and deliver crosses- like Downing last night.
