There was a rumour going around work today that Benitez stormed out of a club meeting earlier today and that he might walk after tonight's game.

Anyway, don't know if this has been posted but [url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2009/08/19/sports-direct-apologise-for-selling-manchester-united-shirt-with-a-hillsborough-slur-100252-24477903/Sports Direct apologise for selling Manchester United shirt with a Hillsborough slur[/url.

Burnley 1 - 0 Man Utd

Burnley 1-0 Man Utd

Why is it such a surprise? Look at the United lineup. I'd expect most teams to at least take a point off that line up especially one in its home game ever in the premier league

Not a surprise, just funny.

The goal was absolutely top drawer.

You've missed my point spectacularly. I'm not saying one makes the other acceptable. What I'm saying is that, when United fans sing songs about disasters or something else on here, they're rightly scorned about it on here. However, it's done with a righteous sense of indignation and, when people like myself point out things like the above mentioned Old Trafford incident they're roundly denied and/or justified with comments like "well you started it by goading people with aeroplane gestures." Which, nine times out of ten, is .

My main bug bear is the denials. Yes, Reds have hissed at Spurs. Yes, there's been songs about Foe, Hillsborough and even that disaster in Wales in the 70s when the mine collapsed (I'm on my phone, no chance I can spell it!) I know it'r happened, I've walked out of pubs because of it and got into arguments with Reds over it. Yet the last time I mentioned the derby I'm talking about on here you and Dave flatly denied it had ever happened. Even though 60 thousand people saw it. Dave even started banging on about the whole goading business again.

If that sort of sh*t could be knocked on the head on here and we could all just admit these things happen then things would be much easier. Otherwise we'll just carry on getting the old "well I go to derbys and you don't so I'm right" rubbish.

Right, I'm not after a fight here so I'll sod off for a while and leave you all to it!

I don't like being accused of lying captain because anyone who knows me knows that is not what I am.

It's not my opinion. It's a plain fact. And in answer to Karl, when you are on the back row of the stand, it's very easy to see what is going on.

I am under no illusions what some of our supporters are like, and I won't condone it, it's the pathetic denial of your own supporters as to what really goes on that really gets my back up. It gets my back up even more when such denials come from people who haven't even set foot in the place for years and cannot possibly know for sure either way.

Like I said. You must have good eyesight to be able to watch the away end, K stand and the game all at the same time.

Or possibly not

Fantastic Stream Of The Manchester City game [url=http://live.mcfc.co.uk/here...[/url the Camp Nou looks Amazing...

You're almost as good at whinging as me



Is Fletch playing?

Massive result for the Dingles.

No doubt Latics will get the backlash on Saturday

Great result for Burnley.

No gimme's this season it appears!

Apart from Foster, O'Shea, Evans and perhaps Evra and Giggs, the rest can hang their heads in shame.

Carrick was awful, $hite penalty and idiot ideas like attempting back heel passes in the 94th minute when we're chasing a goal.



Hopefully Park has sold enough shirts to get a replacement in and pay for his flight home, because tonight he was a liability, why Fergie kept him on I don't know.

Tonight made it clear that we need an Aguero or Silva in and sharpish. With a bit of luck it'll be the kick up the ar$e we need to start our season.

28 minutes – Barcelona 0 Manchester City 1. Great counter-attacking goal, finished by Petrov.

On City's website, live and free.

Not played for the club for nearly 15 years, and Owen Coyle remains a Bolton legend after tonight

So is Man Utd's season over now, just like Liverpool's was on sunday?

Been there done that...


Quite a weak Barcelona side out only Carlos Puyol of the "Barça Big Boys" playing and he was replaced after 30 Minutes...

Hull are almost embarassing as Everton.

As long as we're in touching distance in january we(United) will be fine. It's a shame he can't come over sooner.

Barça are showing some really beautiful skills. This is not a bad workout – since our scheduled game against Everton has been called off because of their Europa Cup tie tomorrow.

Who?

I'm not really sure what Fergie was playing at tonight with that midfield playing Anderson wide left, Carrick in the middle and two players on the right wing in Giggs and Park who were both awful (although giggs came into the game in the second half), then to take the only ony midfielder with pace off for Valencia (who played well when he came on) and move Park over to the left was a joke. Whats wrong with playing Tosic on the left? He'd have got at the Burnley defence and i'm sure between him and Evra we'd have undone them.

I really do pray that we start too get the team selections right or we can kiss our fourth league title goodby in time for christmas.


Oh and Capello please stay away from our matches because everytime you turn up to watch Owen he has a mare

If only Spurs got one more, we'd be off bottom!
