What did the club do on the 19th minute for Petrov??

[Swales4ever]

we were better in the previous game and yet 5-0 in this one with us barely leaving 1st gear.

my assessment eggsactly.
Top of the league. Chinners GD's counter adjusted, and some glimpses of pace and directness back in our pass & move, thanks to the Wizard almost at his 80% already.
Still weird lineup by Bob with Maicon bombing the box manned by two 5 feeter strikers, Yaya, out-tackled twice in a minute (18') by the softest midfielder of the league and the man who won us the Title barely getting a decent 1st touch till the penalty shot.
lesser accuracy ever since by Carlos in Blue.
think Dzeko was left out fot the Madrid game.
Good defensive improvements on Vinnie/Nasti mutual understanding and focus.

Cant wait to hear from taggart that, because Sherlock gifted us a non-penalty when we had already unlocked it, there's the proof that referees' mistakes always level on the whole season.

Massive pleasure at seeing, maybe for the first time, us capable to grab a lead through a scrummage in the box. Sign of Champions and [strike]Manics[/strike] Munichs benchmark.

Progressive City.

Code: Select all

Also massive pride in attending Italy giving a tough game to All Blacks in front of 80,000 Rugby Lovers in Rome, before surrendering in the last 15 minutes in front of the World Champs. The end of 1st half filled my heart with genuine National Pride: only Rugby can makes such miracle come true.

Never thought we looked like leaving 1st gear, yet always looked like strolling the game.

Hate to say it, but I think this one says more about villa than it does us. Was men against boys.

That's what it's like to be Utd on a typical weekend over the last decade or so, apart from the fact that we actually played well at times as opposed to the usual average or shite they churn out in these circumstances.

That's a typical rags' Saturday of recent years though, apart from we played the part of the rags & the rags did the job Arsenal usually do; meekly piss away 3 points. Chelsea played their part as usual.

It was all there; oppo battle it out with 11 behind the ball then inexplicably fail to mark everyone at a corner just before half time, then a penalty for god knows what, then the oppo throw in the towel, then your nearest rivals chuck points down the toilet.

That's absolutely how the rags have been winning titles for years.

This now puts us back on course again in the head to head imo. If we can get through to Christmas & still be thereabouts, then we are in really good shape. Rags have a lot of winnable games coming up & we have some tough ones, which they have already been to.

If we can stay close to them through this period, we are right on track.

Massive excitement in seeing our learning trajectory is still and always UPWARD, also.
just, please God, give us a fair Umpire at the derby: all I want for Christmas is that.
