Where's it said he's changed his mind?

I've no issue with him, just doing what we'd all love to do but never would. As someone said, it makes him fair game and one of these days he'll get a slap. He won't retaliate like Cantona though, he'll just cry.

I know it hurts like hell, but the very fact they celebrated the way they did speaks volumes. We've come a long way. If we're being honest I'm not sure a pursuit of Chelsea is or was realistic. I can't see UTD going on any sort of run as they're clearly average.

how can we be this down on our lot after recent times? We were one free kick from it being a competent performance. Yes, Cissé was dreadful, as he has been many times, but so were so many others and we still controlled the game. They played the game like a cup-tie and we never relaxed as a result. We lack a biting edge up front but overall we're in tremendous nick. I'd like to see young Agger given a run fairly soon as Sami looks shot and a wide right player is required to let SG move onto a more central position. It was a nailed-on clean sheet until the silly free kick, but f*** it. I hate that a****** Ferdinand, but he was made look like Bobby bleeding Moore yesterday. All of a sudden he develops an attitude yesterday. God, I'd have loved to be playing that game yesterday. I'd have taken a straight red and lengthy ban on Neville after the goal.

LOL. You're mad.

Definitely at home, they'd boo like crazy, from the time they left the pubs, 'til the time the whistle blows for game over. Idiots.

Where you meeting before and after? Ta la.

My whole argument is to counter yours about wheteher it was a cross or not. Not where in the effing goal he meant to hit it.

That's the same effing quote as the last one you posted. I'm not debating wheteher he hit the right part of the goal. You still think it was a cross Cobs, so that quote you posted schits on your argument that he never hit it goalward.

Cobs, I've said several times, he wanted to put it over the keepers head and in the net. That's as much as I can gauge. This is like a Monty Ptython sketch, although I'm not sure you're being fully serious. Ps. if this is serious and there are people that believe it to be a fluke, can you put forward some argument apart from Cobs' aforementioned line as I'm all for being convinced.

I know that isn't a typo AR

Anyway, I think Des is right.

'I meant to shoot'

Get to feck Cobs, look at the run-up for Christ sake. Genus.

LOL, for anyone to think he didn't mean that is deluded. The man's a genius, even if he meant to cross it, I think he might have made a better fist of it.

Crouch, because I wrongly thought he was chite

And young Carrick's a tidy user of the ball too. A bit one-paced and doesn't influence the game enough but a sweet player nonetheless.

Imagine the scenario, Chelsea docked 20 points for transfer irregularities. Would you be happy to win the championship in this instance? Obviously wouldn't happen as Chelsea do their business in immaulate fashion.

Finnan's like a right winger these days, always there on the overlap. Brilliant today.

we'd be right in the hunt now. We look much the strongest side, them aside in the Premiership. Winning games, clean sheets, everyone seemingly happy in the camp and a manager that doesn't court the limelight, unlike others. We're strong as hell right now and if there is one tiny criticism it's our inability to put a right few past someone, but you can't be as stingy as we are and score as many as Arsenal do, can you? The contrast between this and other recent seasons couldn't be more stark. I'm sure none of us could have predicted this level of progress in such a short space of time. Champions of Europe and much better domestically. Would any of you gentlemen contribute our European success of last season to our change of fortunes this season in the league?

Of course you can't deny the merits of a proven goalscorer, but with Rafa's teams there's less of a nedd as it would upset the whole balance and pivot, on which we shape our attacking play. I simply don't see how a Michael Owen type of striker fit into our side these days. Even Cissé spends far too much time outside the box than he'd rather. The base is the defence, don't concede and take your half chances. Can work for you or against you. Like anything else in the game. We're in good shape.
