Don't underestimate Scholesy's influence since coming out of retirement.

25 points from a possible 27 shows how important he has been on our midfield.

Zdenek Grygera (knee), Steve Sidwell (hernia) and Orlando Sa (hamstring) are out for Fulham

Is this on TV? Can't seem to find it on iQ

Monday game isn't it? So it should definitely be on Fox.

Yeah 6am on Tuesday.

The stats flattered us a fair bit I think, although by sheer weight of numbers (re: shots) we were deserved winners. Roll on Blackburn!

Forgot about daylight savings kicking in the UK a week earlier than us so missed the first half.

Had some good chances when I watched but didn't make the most of it. Rooney being subbed off made us wasteful in possession and giving it away.

'twas an odd one by Fergie that.

Lucky with the penno call at the end. At first glance I thought Murphy just came over the ball awkwardly and was looking for contact.

It was one of those 'nearly' games from many of our players. You know, the pass was nearly perfect or the run was nearly timed.

We just lacked a bit of quality but this time of year it's all about getting the job done and we did that.

Fulham had a 10 minute spell in the first half and offered nothing offensively after that and anything other than 3 points to United would have been an injustice.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

We looked a bit shaky with the ball towards the end but Fulham were applying a lot of pressure at that point.

Probably worth noting that Schwarzer had a pretty good game - Man U could have had another 2 or 3 goals if it wasn't for his efforts.

 

[A Bit High]

Really nervous about our trip to Ewood.

We don't like going there at all.

2 wins from our last 11 visits.

We should win in a canter but I have a feeling it will be a huge struggle!

One of our biggest tests in the final 8 weeks IMO.

Reminds me of a couple of seasons ago where we went there in the business end of 09/10 and could only manage a feeble draw.

Standout of the game was the only chance falling to Berbatov, who promptly shot and missed.

5 points clear!!!

Tony

 

[A Bit High]

Just to recap: De Gea is 21, playing the position on the field that carries by far the most pressure, in a title race, on the back of a lot of criticism in the first half of the season, and he is turning in huge performances week after week.

He is just brilliant. Has won us as many points as anyone this season.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Feels so long ago when everyone was criticising every goal we conceded as his fault. On the flip side, feel for Lindergaard. Injures himself as training and has lost his joint #1 keeper status.

We knew he would take time to develop and show his potential, but he's going to be scarily good once he bulks up a little too.

 

[Oscarman]

More happy times overnight.

 

[mojito]

6-1 and it mattered **** all!

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

I hope next season we can add the FA Cup , Carling Cup and more

[Hawthorn United]

I'd like to see us progress a bit further in the champions league too

But yeah, would like to win a FA Cup as it has been a while. Relatively speaking.

 

[Oscarman]

3 points closer to number 20 fellas. The magic number is now 8.
