Apparently with a groin injury (not hernia ... ha) for at least four weeks. Will be a big loss for United, if they can keep pace with Chelsea and Arsenal while he was out they would have done very well indeed.

Just out of interest, was Scholes playing during last years "blip"

Congratulations on your sook of the day award.

I watched the highlights last night I thought Bellions goal was slightly offside, O'Shea was fouled for Roque's 1st (not sure if anyone pushed Smith into O'Shea, Forlan was offside for his goal, and Leeds should have won a pen 30 seconds before. Finally Djemba-Djemba's goal was the jammiest you'll see for quite a while. United youth side were clearly the better side on the night and fully deserved their win.

Sook of the day? You've pretty much answered my post with your comments. Forlan offside but scores and it's allowed, Chapuis dragged down half a minute before, obvious penalty but the ref waves it away. Who's to say we'd have won had those decisions gone our way, but we just aren't, as Reidy has said countless times lately"Getting the rub of the green" at the moment. A change of fortune must be just around the corner.

Sook sook sook. I see you have left out the foul on O'Shea from your whinging. Man United U19's were the better team on the day, and fully deserved their win. You can't get robbed of something you never had in the first place.
