They had more possesion, but clear cut chances? Possession doesn't mean someone deserves to win, as Barca showed.

I've seen those penalties NOT given, but I'm not gonna say it wasn't a penalty, because it was.

How Ballack got away with stopping Ronaldo on one of our corners is beyond me :erm:

No but they had more chances than we did so I think that does mean they deserved to win. Our only real chances were the two at the end as far as I can recall. Joe Cole at least could have had a couple. If you set out for nil-nil you deserve to lose in my opinion. I hate those negative tactics and they fail as often as they work (maybe even more often).

Age is catching up with SAF.

Everyone makes mistakes including SAF and besides, Queiroz isn't that old and I'm sure he had influence over the tactics.

Lol, sometimes you have to just accept defeat and stop being a child about it.

You were extremely lucky to be gifted the ball by Carvahlo to Rooney 20 yards out with just the keeper to beat for your first goal and before that you had barely even come close to threatening us properly - while we had piled on countless pressure, breaks, and made so many more chances. I'm in shock that you're even debating that.

Anyways, I shall probably be cheering you on Tuesday. I'm not too fussed, I'm more of a neutral but it's nice to have an all-English final in Europe. Let's hope you are prepared to play an open game from a neutral p.o.v.

Did I not accept defeat by admitting it was a penalty? I just don't think you "deserved" to win.

If we don't beat Barca I will be fuming. Not because it means we will be out, but that he literally threw this game away in light of Tuesday's game.

<b>"It must be necessary for a player to bring a gun and shoot one of our men in the box for us to get a penalty."</b>

And Man Utd are evidently the worst losers in the league.*

When gallas runs away(yeah okay shame)and kicks a board abig incident is made but when rio fights and kicks ladies nothing is said AND also cant chelsea and Man u be ducked points for their brawl like arsenal were in 91

Manchester United players were involved in a post-match fracas with Chelsea ground staff after Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Patrice Evra, Gary Neville, Park Ji-Sung and Paul Scholes were warming down after the fixture when a row ensued with the ground staff tending to the pitch.

A Chelsea spokesman told reporters: "We will be studying the CCTV footage of the incident and take whatever action is appropriate."

After the game, United defender Rio Ferdinand told reporters he had apologised to a steward after accidentally kicking her following Michael Ballack's late penalty winner.

Ferdinand kicked out at a brick wall as he walked off the pitch but also made contact with the female steward.

"Unfortunately, a lady was standing by and I accidentally brushed her with my foot. I apologised profusely and went back to make sure she was okay," he said.

"I have arranged for a bouquet of flowers to be sent to her.

"Credit to her, she laughed it off and was very understanding. She said she wasn't hurt."

YAWN.

Gallas acted like a spoilt kid on a number of ocassions, and didn't even have the balls to apologise. It turns our Rio did (and it was an accident), so what's the problem? You should have been docked points for the Keown incident, but weren't so it's swings and roundabouts.

I think Henry should of started because over the two legs, he's been the one to get there shots in. Messi played very well tonight but he had plenty of chances to shoot and blew it by trying to take on that another man.

It's because he was at centre back, where he can just put his foot through the ball. At full back he has time to think, and that usually leads to an error!

Didn't you hear? Arsena; stood a chance of winning it if we both lost and drew are final two games, if pigs fly and if Arsene Wenger actually sees an incident that reflects negatively on his team!

West Ham were actually the better team for long spells of the game. We were lucky not to conceed a penalty too, as I couldn't really see a push on Brown.

Nani deserved to go, just like I thought about Cousin on Thursday. Didn't like Neill reacting like he was shot (like Liverani did too), but then again Nani also acted like a fool by hitting the deck. Would like to see incident again to see what made Nani do what he did, as knowig the kind of scum Lucas Neill is it must have been something.

OVerall chuffed with the 4-1, as we didn't really deserved it, and on another day West Ham's play could have earnt them a draw if they'd defended a bit better.

Also glad Wigan are definately safe, but then again barring a hammering from Chelski and a big win from Reading so are Bolton. So I guess, COME ON YA GEORDIES!

Heh, no idea why you have a Newcastle avatar. If you don't manage to beat a Wigan side with nothing to play for (and a manager who would probably like to see Fergie win the Prem), you don't deserve to win the title anyway.

I've kind of lost hope now tbh, Bruce is a cunt and probably won't really give two fucks about actually trying to win (or not lose), same goes for the Wigan players. Ah well, as long as there's a chance, we can do it! All we can do now is win our remaining games (preferably by 20 goals but meh). Didn't you hear? Arsena; stood a chance of winning it if we both lost and drew are final two games, if pigs fly and if Arsene Wenger actually sees an incident that reflects negatively on his team!
I mean why does he care when the last time United were given a card at Old Trafford - he goes around in every club thread asking random questions that I'm sure he doesn't give half a shit about.

I have no idea either :rolleyes: I can hope, can't I?

You mean a Wigan side that drew with you? So you don't deserve to win it? :tongue: Nah, I agree they will play differently as they're already safe and Brucie's obv connections with the club, but at the same time there's no pressure on them which could result in them playing well. I know we should beat them, and SAF SHOULD play his strongest 11 as the game will be for the title and there'll be like 10 games until the CL final, but it's SAF; I'd never try to guess which team he's gonna put out nowadays!

I remember when him and Robben came on as substitutes in the Carling Cup (I think). Eidur scored in the first half of extra time. Then Robben made a great run (which was worthy getting a boner from) and finished off nicely.

04-05 was a great season :(

United will win the title, but if we can finish level on points as them, it would still hurt, but it would show that there is not much of a gap between the teams.

I agree. If we don't I'll be devasted but not bitter because in the end us and Chelsea are both playing crap teams, it's a shoot out so if we fail its our fault. I'm pretty sure we'll win though perhaps with a tense and nervy 3-1.

Steve Bruce is as big a fan of SAF as Curbishley. With Wigan safe from relegation, you're gonna have a walk in the park, so sit back and relax -it's yours.

Erm, what? :laugh: If they didn't give 110% it would be a farce anyway. They were always going to field a competetive team against you and obviously give their all as it's their last home game and Bruce would get shit loads of stick for the integrity of the league if he didn't.

It was never going to be a case of them not trying, just a case of you having more to play for. You should beat them, and if you don't: WAHEY.

vanNistelrooy

Keyser Soze

07-05-2008, 18:36

I'd see it as a chance to give a few players a well deserved rest, as I would assume he's had to play the same 11 or so players throughout the season.

If they're expected to give 110% why does every person from Chelski keep reminding them that they need to? From Ballack, to Cole to the tea-lady. Terry saying they've worked too hard all season to get this far got me. They shouldn't be relying on Wigan to win them the league, as they've dropped points in games where they really shouldn't have, so that comment was a bit random for me.
Every neutral is saying the same too though, it has been the same with teams down relegation battle. How will reminding them to give 110% help Wigan anywho? They'll know what they need to do so I don't see how it'll "pay off for them" because of it...

Why would you want to rest your star players against Manchester United on the LAST GAME OF THE SEASON where after that they have months of rest? :unsure: They are still playing for pride and I'm sure the Wigan fans will want the win against United in their last home game to top off a comfortable season as much as we do.

vanNistelrooy

07-05-2008, 18:40

What I'm trying to get across is if a player or two is carrying a niggle (say key players like Valencia and Kirkland). As Wigan are now safe you'd expect him to let them have the day off if they were playing say West Ham, who have nothing to play for. But if he does it against United, who are clearly chasing the title, he'll get ripped for it even if it's legit, so may find himself playing players he'd like to rest?

Either way, I'm not confident and I'm not happy that everyone is telling Bruce how to do his job all of a sudden. If there's no questioning his approach why are people doing it? No one's telling Bolton to hold out for a draw against you lot?

Keyser Soze

07-05-2008, 18:53

People expect the same from Bolton and I'm sure they'll oblige. It's just going to Stamford Bridge, they wouldn't expect a result full-stop; where-as Wigan probably would hope for one at home. No-one is saying Bruce should field injured players, they are basically just saying 'don't take the piss'.

Why does it bother you so much though? :laugh: It shouldn't affect how you perform and if you can't beat Wigan because they are trying too hard for your liking then you shouldn't win the league anyway. Now good day to you, sir. :coffee:

Sunday should be so nerve-wracking I may do a swan-dive from the stands if it comes up United losing on the score-boards at SB. I literally can't wait.

oh and before i close this post, why the fuck does john terry feel it would do the league justice if chelsea won the league? if anything it would be justice if arsenal won the league seeing as they were top for most of the season, but we all know that aint gonna happen lol

Lord Shrimpeh

08-05-2008, 11:08

If Wigan or Bolton rest players that's their choice. If this fixture had been a month ago no one would have cared. I expect the players to try because they should always have a go for their fans but if they choose to rest players that's their own business. Also you can perhaps forgive them for playing below par seeing as its the last game of the season and they're safe. Chelsea shouldn't expect Wigan to do their job for them.

AgentZero

08-05-2008, 11:12

neither should we about bolton but i think our danger game, in the light of chelsea's ressurgance was the West ham fixture and we passed that test with flying colours. I am not suggesting that we would walk over Wigan but there is less anxiety coming into this game (2 days prior) compared to that of the west ham game.

So are the United fans confident about Sunday? For me (and I assume most neutrals), it'll be real dissapointing to see you absolutely white-wash them. I'm looking forward to shitting myself during the game with one eye on the game and the other on the scoreboard for updates - so I hope it's relatively close whatever happens.

In a game such as this (in that we are playing a smaller side of the league, rather than a game of this importance), I'm usually neither nervous nor confident leading up to it.

How United start is always pivotal and is a quick indicator of whether it'll be comfortable or a nail-biter. Last week was similar, and in that particular case we started with a very early goal making it a fairly easy affair. From memory, I think we've only once slipped up after scoring early on this season, and that was Boro away.

So really, if we can get an early goal, or any sort of lead going into half time then I'd be very confident for the second period. If Wigan are holding us at that stage then I'll be shitting bricks, despite 45 mins left. :/

I don't think this will be a game where we snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. We'll either walk over them, or fail.

In all seriousness, I don't buy all of this 'United have been the best team so they deserve to win it' . Whoever wins tomorrow will have been the best team. Chelsea may not have been the most exciting or attacking side, but the team that wins the league is the best team that year. End of.

As for the match itself, omens are good. A nice relaid pitch which will hopefully suit our game, and the support of around 10 000 United fans according to Dave Whelan. With Wigan fans selling their tickets for the last home game of the season for up to around £400, it's amusing how United's support supposedly DOES comes from Manchester when it's convenient.

I hope Park starts ahead of Giggs, as when Giggs and Scholes both start we seem to be missing a lot of legs. Bad news about Rooney only being fit enough for the bench, but we should still have enough quality in that side to beat Wigan. Anyway it should be an ace day. Know plenty of reds who are travelling without tickets due to the apparent ease of buying one from a Wiganer up there. Roll on 3 o'clock and our cup final, and good luck to the Chelsea fans on here too. May the best team win.

11-05-2008, 17:16

im not sure, i think derby got beaten 7-0 i think,i could be wrong though.

somegooner

11-05-2008, 17:18

Isn't 8-1 technically a bigger win than 7-0??

.:jester:.

11-05-2008, 17:20

no because 8-1 is technicaly the same as 7-0 but because derby didnt score, 7-0 would be classed as a bigger win.

Did Giggs lift the trophy? I think I remember Neville once said in an interview/TV show, a few years back, that the club captain should lift the trophy, even if he's been out most of the season.

vanNistelrooy

11-05-2008, 19:22

Most of? He played like 20 minutes.

I don't care who lifts it, as long as they're wearing a United shirt! :D

Yeah he did and deservedly I think. Garry is a great captain or could be but he's just too injury prone. Giggs has been there all season and on his record equalling appearance and given his service to the club he deserved to. It'll be Scholes and Gary Neville's night another night. For Scholes maybe in Moscow.

It's always Liverpool's turn next season :rolleyes:

Was it true that Bruce jumped for joy when Giggs scored?

Doubtful. He was very proffessional and sent Wigan out in the right way. He seemed pretty cheesed off in the post match interview as well about the penalty and foul. I didn't see him do anything like that.

What's the big deal about Richards being in Manchester anyway? He does play for Man City.

I honestly believe that United have had a fair bit of luck the last two seasons. I know im clutching at straws and sounding bitter but if we had a fully fit squad for the majority of the season we would have won the league.

We've hardly played with our preffered back 5 (Cech included) and I think that played a huge factor in our performances.
