ESPN's reporting Paul Scholes has been named to the bench
Yes, THAT Paul Scholes.
The club really is hurting if Fergie convinced (convincingly begged?) him to return.
Un-retiring was one thing I never thought I’d see.
(…Well, that and Hargreaves revealing his true identity as United’s undercover agent mid-match.)
City..
I would be too excited about having smalling/scholes back haha neither of them are going to be difference makers. Let’s see how suspect the ManU defense looks today.. I’ll take City 3-1..

Joe Hart isn't starting
Is he injured-ish? Or have we sunk so low that Mancini feels confident enough to rest him?
I hope Jones don't play CB.
RB and CM pls!!

Rooney!!! Great cross!! Great header!!

Two footed but a bit harsh for a red IMO.
by dingmajiao on Jan 8, 2012 1:14 PM GMT via iPhone app reply actions
new laws are becoming alot more strict
all about the players health
Still harsh IMO, I dont think Kompany dive in with studs in.
by dingmajiao on Jan 8, 2012 1:19 PM GMT via iPhone app up reply actions
Studs were in the air, both of them as well
thats a red these days
Maybe but it lack a bit of momentum
But I’m happy with the red. Let put this game to bed with another goal!

Glad that Jones gave his the stick back after Ferdinand gave Jones the stick.

Shows a backbone
Future Leadership Qualities
United play smart counter-attacking
Make City work and break against them.

2-0!!!!
Let’s just pay back for the 6-1!!!
by dingmajiao on Jan 8, 2012 1:32 PM GMT via iPhone app reply actions
that would be awesome
But im happy with a cleansheet and 2 goals
Brilliant goal by Welbeck anyway.

We look like Manchester United again
"Can Manchester United score? They always score... Peter Schmeichel is forward... Beckham, in towards Schmeichel- it's come for Dwight Yorke. Cleared... Giggs with a shot- SHERINGHAM!"
Got that swagger back
Great footwork by our front 4
We might just see Scholes playing today..

I want to see Paul Scholes back!!!
by dingmajiao on Jan 8, 2012 1:44 PM GMT via iPhone app up reply actions
Haha i want to see a..
A great diagonal by the ginger prince then a nice low cross and a tap in
Typical United Goal
It was a soft sending off, but not the incredibly stupid decision that these fox soccer guys are making it out to be. He still went in with two feet
"Can Manchester United score? They always score... Peter Schmeichel is forward... Beckham, in towards Schmeichel- it's come for Dwight Yorke. Cleared... Giggs with a shot- SHERINGHAM!"
Yea the 2nd guy from the left is an idiot
Saying just cause its a derby that it shouldn’t be red. Rules are rules
Agree!!
They say referee spoiled that game. But sorry, I’m totally in joy watching City crumble!!!

Not wearing No.18 is weird.

I miss the Scholes-Carrick tandem.
by dingmajiao on Jan 8, 2012 2:20 PM GMT via iPhone app reply actions
Scholesy’s coming on! Loving the reaction of our away fans.
Giggs and Scholes are playing, Keane, Neville and Beckham are there…. How awesome!
"Can Manchester United score? They always score... Peter Schmeichel is forward... Beckham, in towards Schmeichel- it's come for Dwight Yorke. Cleared... Giggs with a shot- SHERINGHAM!"
Surely a foul.
Guess Chris Foy really paying back for the red.

Rooney hasnt had much of the ball
Hes starting to look frustrated
Why do we always make things difficult for ourselves?
by dingmajiao on Jan 8, 2012 2:46 PM GMT via iPhone app reply actions
Totally totally not happy with the second half.
by dingmajiao on Jan 8, 2012 2:55 PM GMT via iPhone app reply actions
I agree very sloppy indeed
But we got the win and we go marching on
TBF Jones has been constantly been played in different positions.
I agree with you but Jones has been played at right back and centre mid and hasnt has a consistent run at centre back. Also I think Jones is a bit short height wise as I think he is something like 180cm wheras Smalling is 190+.
Looks like no CM signing
With Scholes un-retiring untill the end of the season I highly doubt SAF will dip into the January transfer market. You could tell how much better United played when Scholes was introduced and im sure his inclusion in the team made some players play better. Rooney was immense today. He tracked back and won the ball back from deep countless times.
