Well, as long as we finish above West Ham so I can maintain my dominance over ScottyRedXIII then I'll be happy.

Stunned. Game ruined by the ref.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
How the smurf is that a red?Nani's boot goes to the side of his armpit. Game and contest indeed ruined. Where's Howard Webb when you need him?
Those games are just the worst to take.
Tactically perfect over two legs (even though he was criticised both times) and undone by one incredible decision. How many times in a game have we seen a player bring the ball down over his shoulder? The only way he can manage it is to keep his eye on the ball and have his foot high enough to bring it down. There is no way he could see Arbeloa when trying to do that.
It's a shame because United were fantastic tonight and the crowd were equally impressive. I am now cheering for the Germans in the Champions League... that's how upset I am.
Double post but I couldn't give a smurf right now.
Modric's goal was a cracker. We all thought it was deflected from where we were sat.
Roy Keane didn't have a clue about football when he was a player and I still don't give much weight to his opinion now. That was never a red - imo it wasn't even a yellow. That kind of tackle happens 10 times a game in the Premier League, even more so when Stoke are playing.
Utd played better than Madrid. Jose was right, even though he was just trying to win over the Old Trafford crowd in preparation for his succession. Modric's goal was an absolute oh my screamer though, and at the end of the day their finishing made the difference. Utd had a lot of chances late on, but they were all just straight at the keeper. Just bad luck, really.

I thought Keane was disagreeing just for the sake of television. He is usually one of the better pundits on ITV. Miles ahead of the likes of Townsend and Southgate.
I can understand where he's coming from on some level because if the letter of the law says that it doesn't need intent or awareness of the other player then it's a red... but then, if that's the case, every held shirt, every high foot, every overhead kick, etc. etc. etc. should also be an instant card and never a caution, but this never, ever happens. The problem is not neccessarily with the ref, but with the rules and how drastically they can differ between game and nation. It's really frustrating.
I knew before the game that we could have gone out tonight, I felt it 50/50. It didn't go our way in the end, but seriously, the ref just ruined the game at that moment for me. It's a real shame.
Oh, and as for Keane, while I can understand where he's coming from, it's no secret that Keane always tries to make some kind of rebel-esque statement so people take notice of him. Sometimes I like what he says, but even in those cases it tends to be something the rest of the world will disagree with, so...

As much as I would love to argue this point, it would be pointless... Think we would just be happy to finish top half of the table...Originally Posted by Psychotic

GIVE US BIG ANDY BACK
you can keep joke ole.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Man Utd are gonna win the league.
I reckon West Ham are looking at a safe mid-table position, no worries. I was quite surprised to learn Liverpool have a better goal difference than Spurs who are third.
The Swans certainly helped there.

Is it safe for a Newcastle fan to be in here? haha, we're only just starting to do alright, give or take the loss to Swansea though.
I'm considering going to the home leg against Anzhi on Thursday night depending if I can get some mates to go.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
Absolutely, my friend. I reckon this thread has less than ten people who regularly contribute so the more the merrier! It'll mix things up more having a Newcastle fan involved too.
Psy will be glad to have another fan who has experienced the ecstasy/pain of Andy Carroll first hand.
You were right all along guys, Arsenal really suck.
