Concentrate on the game! The grudge match between Shelvey and Rafael ! Another red card on the offering with these two.


Gotta be happy with the scum having 33% possession on their own ground.

welbeck is doing a great job keeping the rags mid-table by missing chances like that

But after seeing 1.5 games of them playing, swansea look like the better team. They certainly play better football than the rags by far

Well spotted!

Seriously, Swansea look really confident here.

It's very confusing that the BBC have just reported that Utd shaded the first half. I suppose they had 2 very close calls with the free kick and the Welbeck miss but they have been truly awful haven't they?

They have done some high pressing but not very well and mostly to no avail as Swansea ignored them.All it needs is for Swansea to actually amke the final pass or get the last touch right and it's 1 nil to Swansea.Utd are scared and defending in numbers and of course if they score first and win Moyes will be hailed.God knows what as though.

And United haven't won a single corner. When was the last time that happened?

horrible marking by swansea

but besides that, seeing the rags walk out with depressed faces to the "glory glory" song: perfect image of a crumbling empire

Nah, I thought Utd shaded the first half too. They have come out with a lot of energy in the second half and are closing down everything, hopefully they will be shattered soon and Swansea can pass the ball around them to get a goal back.

They are quite poor though, I'm struggling to care too much about this one. I think Utd will hold on here though, Swansea don't look very sharp to me going forward.

It's all part of the plan. They're getting their confidence up so they can do us a favour and beat Chelsea next week. Then start losing again.

It really isn't a shocker. You had to know that off this recent string of defeats that, at home in the league, United would beat an injury ravaged Swansea squad

Now, this Atleti-Barca clash should be fun

Well that took both balls in the mouth and sucked deeply.

I guess the only good thing is it may remove pressure off Gollum and keep him in the job longer.

I suppose the fans and the press will be crying United are back. If that's the best they can offer, then they will still struggle for a CL spot. They were absolutely shitting themselves 1st half and I was so willing the Swans to go in front to watch the scums reaction.

Admitedly, that wasn't the same desire as last week from Swansea but City and others will continue to murder them, particularly at the Theater of Screams
