can't believe we couldn't beat blackburn but at the same time at least we got a draw. Hopefully we can get some kind of a result against Chelsea otherwise i think they will win the title if they beat us next weekend.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Even if Chelsea beat us, we only need to beat West Ham and Wigan to secure the title.

They need to beat us and hope we drop more points.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Our form hasn't been too great lately. Draw with Middlesborough, went behind against Arsenal, and drew against Blackburn.

You don't need to beat Wigan.

Bruce wouldn't let that happen.

 

[Benno_900]

Why? Is he fixing the pitch himself?

Good!

Exactly, i'm not confident on the crappy wigan pitch of needing a win under alot of pressure.

 

[NMFCMUFC]

We've never lost there but, anyone remember Louis Saha grabbing a 90th minute winner a couple of years ago?

 

[Hawthorn United]

I don't even remember who Louis Saha is anymore

 

[McLeodMagic]

I wish Solskjaer was playing at the Nou Camp.

Nervous couple of weeks coming up. More worried about Chelsea than Barca. Be nice to win on the weekend and not have to worry about the last 2 games.

Be nice if I had a pony to play with.

Most people come up with excuses in the heat of the moment, but you're actually putting in the groundwork weeks in advance.

I am impressed.

It means nothing if unnoticed.

I'm not wasting 40 posts arguing fact again this season though.

For delusion there is no cure.

Sucks for you then.

Today is St George's Day. Patron of England... and Catalunya (Sant Jordi in Catalan).

I don't think they like us.

Hahaha thats gold.

$10 says Bourky has that on his bedroom door.

 

[LondonCalling]

That was a shocking penalty decision. Nothing in it whatsoever. Probably justice that he botched it so much.

Looked shaky down back so far. Early days yet.

clearly hit gabi's hands.. i couldn't argue with it.. unlucky yes, but it definetly hit his arm.. still can't believe ronaldo missed it... i thought u guys (particularly rio) have looked solid down back.. but our final balls have just been useless

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Rio was monsterous, again.

What a season he has had.

 

[A Bit High]

Cagey match with neither goalie really having to make a difficult save. Ronaldo has missed his 2 penalties when going to the keepers left, once v Hammers and this morning.

It was a penalty for sure, arm raised, ball hits arm = Penalty!

Barca's final 3rd never really looked threatening with just a couple of half chances. The rest were long range.

Et'o looked out of sorts when shooting for goal but apart from that Utd looked solid down back.

Would like to see the result from Old Trafford if Utd have 64% of the ball!

Should be a nervous 90 at home but Utd are in pole position to goto Moscow.

Hopefully defending for most of the match hasn't taken its toll and we can regroup for the Chel$ea match. Avoid defeat there and we should be home!

Brown was better tonight IMO. Rio had a few patchy moments but overall the back 4 were fantastic.

Saying that, hopefully Nemanja will be fit to face Chelski.

 

[ashley12]

It was a penalty, clearly hit his hands/arm which changed the pace/direction of the ball.

Excellent game by most, Ronaldo was very quiet but was always going to be in the position he played tonight.

Overall very pleased with the result.
