Very good news that Rafael only has Concussion and will only miss one game against Southampton which I doubt he would have played in anyway.
 
Gotta agree with Holloway. The only thing that keeps United still unbeaten is luck. Against WestBrom...Neville should have gotten a red card and WB a penalty. That could have made it 2-1 for them...and United would had to play with 10 men the rest of the game. And If Blackpool would have been awarded penalty..it could have been a win for Blackpool or atleast a draw.

They deserve to be on the top but not unbeaten IMO.

You make your own luck, and goals change games, and not always in one way. Nothing is certain until you observe the result. For all you know, going 3-0 down would have been the final straw and players could have drawn inspiration and motivation from it and scored 4 instead of 3. I'm sure if I could be bothered I could go through City's fixtures and find moments of luck, so concentrate on yourselves before playing the blame game.

How do you make your own luck? I've never understood that quote!

Fortune favors the brave. That should be understandable ;)

This season they got so many decisions going in their favor. Against Blackpool and Newcastle i remember how ref's decision was the deciding factor in the game.

I don't think it's meant literally :P If you perform well, then get something lucky, you could say you've earned it, or made it to justify your own performance. Are you more annoyed when Barca dominate a game, then get a deflected shot winner, or when Blackburn play hoofball and get a deflected winner? ^.^

You are always fu**ing with me. I just said my opinion....

PS. It would be nice if you changed that fu**ing disgusting Avatar mate ;)
Edit: How the fu** can you say that City have had refrees on their side this season? The refs have been against us the latest 2 years....if you watched Citys games you would understand that.

ManU :s overtime goals table doesn't lie. If you want me to count all the games where United have been favoured by the referee..but it's a very very long list.

Want me to change it to bacon face? Albert is for the win. I'm not messing with you, you say something biased about United, am I not allowed to reply back to you on a forum? ..

And Schrödinger taught us that nothing is fact until it's observed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger's_cat - It annoys the **** out of me when people go on about if's and but's.
 
I thought Rafael was impressive in the second half (the should-have-been penalty aside), as well as Giggs and Scholes. You could tell that they wanted it, and the hairdryer really influenced them. I can't see it having the same affect on some of the foreign imports that will eventually replace these legends. The hunger to win the ball back after they had lost it was inspirational and just a joy to watch. And Ryan Giggs defies the laws of human nature. His pace is ridiculous for a 37 year old.

You have to envy the way Blackpool play the game, but to keep attacking with such a high defensive line against the pace of Hernandez was a risk too far. I really hope Charlie Adam stays though, he is such an important player for them. Yes, we played wellin the second half, but we were very lucky
 
another brilliant win, these are the type of wins that go a long way to winning the league. Javier Hernandez impact was clear for everyone to see, he must be starting games from now on in my opinion.

I think the hair dryer is a universal language :P More worrying to think who's going to replace it, not its effect. :(

Giggs was outstanding, unbelievable how he keeps going, will have another season in him if he keeps going like this.
 
Wow., What a game that was, I was literally in tears at Half time in the pub. Then at full time, it was amazing. Berbatov is the man, If you find a better striker this season, your looking in Spain.
