Yeah, dodgy site that my dad put on his laptop and hooked it up to the telly. Dunno what it was though.
 
Decent performance from United today, we were well worth the win for the dominant 2nd half alone. 2 goals in quick succession from Ronny, the first a scrappy header, the second a great counter attack. Dunn's sending off was right imo, they were 2 bookable fouls really, so Sunburn can have no complaints there. We should have had more in the 2nd half but oh well. Joe, the seat to the left of me was empty today, perhaps it was waiting for you:p.

Great result Everton, 5 ahead of Chelski now, and last weekend showed that we're better than l'arse. I take back my comments at the start of the season about Arsenal not being in contention in February, but I think the better team will win it in the end.

Oh and a word for our best player so far this season, Patrice Evra. He's just fantastic, he's amazingly quick, he can tackle, he can cross a ball, just look at his run and cross at the Emirates last week. If he was English, the media and everyone else would be saying he's world class, which he is btw, but he doesn't get noticed as much as he should.

Yeah Evra is class. Shame he's not Steven Gerrard as the press would never shut up about him.
 
who runs over children and takes their wallets.

Evra is class but I hate it when Fergie plays him on the wing, it's a waste when we've got so much talent out wide there. Was Saha really that bad Phil? On the radio they were slating him
 
He didn't really look fit, and he wasn't really involved in the game an awful lot. He does look jaded, but we should be ok anyway with the games we've got before Rooney returns and our attacking players are doing well anyway.

Giggs was fantastic for the last half an hour, it was the old giggsy, all the tricks coming on and going on mazy runs.

I'd take Evra over Cashley Cole at the moment to be honest, the lads got a fantastic jump on him, which makes him being small less of a problem. Also, he reads the history books of United, which shows he's pretty committed:p.
 
Evra > Clichy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cole

Clichy's runs on the left and from the wing infield have won and saved us games e.g. against Manure

Evra and Clichy are by far the best left backs in the Prem at the moment. Clichy has excelled tremendously since Ashley '50k is just above the poverty line' Cole left. It appears that Cole's career at Chelsea is still yet to really take off. Clichy has more pace and skill than Cole and, unlike Eboue, can actually defend.

Ashley who?

True, they both showed their attacking talents in a matter of minutes last week, with Evra setting up United's 2nd goal and Clichy setting up Arsenal's.
 
I've seen two contrasting games this weekend, and shocked at my evaluation of them

Stockport County .v. Staines Town

What a game! Honestly Staines played football even Arsenal/Manchester United would be proud of. They had a reall good setup, and good tactics for the conditions and their opponents. Stockport were poor, in a game im sure they expected to win comfortably. Stains Town! Remember the name!

Bolton .v. Middlesbrough

What a terrible game. Two teams with no ambition, and boring managers. I kind of expected a bad game, but it topped it off when the referee assigned to the game had a shocker and wouldn't let the game flow. To go with the terrible decisions he made for yellow cards/free kicks.
 
Lol. 'The Massive' as they are known, due to the Ali G influence did very well. The north London outfit showed they had ambition, and the combination they had upfront was fantastic. I wish them well for the replay!
