I sure hope I woke up at 4 am to watch United win

"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!"

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?

Defend and counter, it’s what we’re best at

Soft red card. We need to take advantage of it

United play smart counter-attacking

Make City work and break against them.

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

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

by ulcerrator on Jan 8, 2012 2:00 PM GMT up reply actions  

Agree!!

They say referee spoiled that game. But sorry, I’m totally in joy watching City crumble!!!

by dingmajiao on Jan 8, 2012 2:01 PM GMT via iPhone app up 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!

Surely a foul.

Guess Chris Foy really paying back for the red.

I agree very sloppy indeed

But we got the win and we go marching on

by ulcerrator on Jan 8, 2012 3:15 PM GMT up reply actions  

I was pretty disappointed myself but at least its a win.

by Caviarhound on Jan 8, 2012 6:29 PM GMT up reply actions  

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.

by nadeem2099 on Jan 8, 2012 4:49 PM GMT reply actions  

It will most likely have to wait for the summer. Sadly, I’ve always felt that Scholes should of retired when he did and remain so (even if he’s sorely needed).
