How About That One?

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

How about a Derby win in League Cup Semi, I ask thee?

Get the fuck in!

Carlos stole the headlines but this time De Jong was fucking massive.

[s1ty m]

de jong motm. though there are a few to pick from.

for the 2nd leg though, we need a re-think once the dust has settled. cannot play like the first 30 and last 20 at the swamp.

[razor400]

Fuck me that was tense, roll on the second half!

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

Some giant individual performances from Kompany, Bellamy, Given, De Jong and Tevez got us over the line there.

[Wonderwall]

we performed well against fergies fledglings though, thats going to be a good team in years to come if they are that good at this stage of their young careers ;-)

De Jong is a fucking monster! My new fave after the dunney monster.

I hope to see Edge chipping in with some praise soon

[ruralblue]

Am delighted. Poor first thirty mins though Tezez should have opened the goals on that cross, but delighted that we stood back up to the twats and went for it.

Nice to see him recover from the last shocker he had against the sunday leaguers....

GREAT DERBY WIN.....GREAT TO HAVE A WIN AGAINST THEM LOT SINCE........SVEN.

[pears12]

not sure a derby win gets a lot better than that, fell behind then fought our way back to take lead and then to defend under all that pressure was outstanding and to go with it being in a semi final

[dazby]

Valencia player of the match for me.

[gillie]

Carlitos got Lawro's vote for MOM but NDJ was the true MOM imo fuckin IMMENSE.

[david yearsley]

To come out of that with our noses in front is testament to the character of the side tonight - same again in 8 days plz!

[StrikeAnywhere]

Fucking chuffed here.... multiple calls being made to rag mates rubbing salt in the wound... typical replies - only carling cup blah blah

bring on them pricks at the swamp we will do em!

[Bianchi on Ice]

That was the best team sir cunt could put out, and in my opinion we paid them too much respect(too many have done it this season) but we werent at our cohesive best and we still have something to bite on second leg. Is it the Italian manager factor? I havent a clue, but from 0-1 we found a way to get to 2-1 and keep it that way. Ps. all scum and associated cunts out there moaning about the penalty...jog on, remember "injury" time earlier this season. If we get through, I'll call it quits!

[ronk]

Penalty or not, he fucking gave it and we got revenge from that shit at OT back in September!

Fuck the lot of them. Great performance from Carlos.

Absolutely erected right now.

Shut it. Of course it was a penno. We were on the receiving end last game and we accepted it was correct. If you grab someone outside the box and it's a foul, then it's a penalty if you're still holding on inside the penalty area.

[Andy, lincs]

After Tevez, Kompany for me. Count the number of corners into his zone that he cleared and set a goal up. Absolute rock.

[Mike J]

nigel fucking de jong. you awesome little fucker!!

how the hell did we win that with that defence!!!

I know wonderwall, I'm awestruck by this flock of fledglings, what will they be like when they hit 40?

READ THIS........FUCKING TEVEZ YOU HERO !


But the sight of Gary Neville was too much to resist and Tevez delivered a 'shut your mouth' hand gesture to his former skipper, who backed Ferguson's decision to get rid of the Argentinian.

For all the understandable focus on Tevez, the most influential man on the pitch was Given, who turned away yet another point-blank effort when Giggs got his head to Rooney's deep cross.

The worth of that save did not become apparent until City's next attack when Vincent Kompany hooked a wayward Pablo Zabaleta shot straight onto Tevez's head.

As he scored and Eastlands erupted, the striker this time immediately raced to the home dug-out and cupped his ears, in exactly the same manner he did when he scored for United in a Premier League meeting between these two sides late last season, when the Old Trafford crowd's demand for him to stay was at its peak.

Just yards away, Ferguson stared straight ahead, chewing his gum furiously. Again the chant was 'sign him up'. This time it was City doing the singing.

Tevez's work was done. Given still had more to do. Rooney was denied three more times as United laid siege at the end looking for an equaliser.

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

I still think Bellamy was fucking top tonight.
