Meh, makes up for Newcastle's penalty earlier on in the season.
Exactly, swings and roundabouts.
I thought I was watching a game from my team here in Brazil, Corinthians. Here, the team start attacking nicely, scores 1-0, and then has some good opportunities and misses all of them. Usually around 70', the opposition starts to make some good attacking moves and they almost score (sometimes they do, and it's annoying as ****). Then we win 1-0 and there's that bitter taste of `'Should've done better'.
Exactly how i feel. There was a point in the second half where i felt we were going to thump them, then it didnt happen, and in the end lucky not to end up with a draw.
No one said ref bottled it when Stoke were denied clear penalty on Saturday.
We were denied penalty against Stoke which ended 1-1
awarded penalty that was not against Newcastle at OT which ended 1-1
Balotelli was not sent off for Stamp on Parker and in return scored the winner.
Like the saying goes, everything evens out in the season.

injustice that murphy is the denied the chance to put one past United!
silly fellow that ref, it happened right in front of him as well.

I've only ever bought the red issue fanzine once and thought it was **** so I haven't actually read anything they may have written in this issue clarifying their position but from what they were tweeting a few days ago I don't think they're making the same points as you.
I can understand people thinking the self-congratulation in football over having paid a little respect to a footballer who almost died is over the top ( the point of Marina Hyde's article) or complaints about the type and amount of coverage there has been since the event but Red Issue aren't making either of these points. Red Issue seem to just be attacking people who left messages of support for Muamba for being insincere or attempting to "out-grieve" each other.
I personally think that there are only a tiny amount of people that this might apply to so to edit a picture of Muamba receiving CPR in an attempt to ridicule such a small amount of people is extremely bad taste. Add in the fact that on their twitter account they seemed to be claiming Bolton for overreacted by calling off 2 games I don't see why I should give them the benefit of the doubt. They've shown an extreme lack of class in my opinion.
Just like to add that I agree that people getting angry because they think it's aimed at Muamba are completely missing the point and that those that are claiming it's disgusting Etcetera are exaggerating how bad it is.

Granted United were lucky not to concede a peno but there is still some overreaction going on by some people here. Try watching a season of league 1 football and then you realise the refs in the EPL are actually very good 9 times out of 10 
Its less a case of over-reacting, and more some people being one eyed. You just shrug your shoulders and move on. Got lucky with the pen, but then we've been unlucky earlier this season and its cost us 2 points, swings and roundabouts. We will need to better next time, but that's 3 points in the bag.Granted United were lucky not to concede a peno but there is still some overreaction going on by some people here.

he's 38. just sayin.
He has these kind of games once in a while which is to be expected at 38. Still a great option to have
Loving the rumours going round that Fergie is set to spend 50m to get Hazard and Martinez.
As much as I would love it to be true I know it won't happen, although Fergie was spotted watching Lille not long ago, we might be in for Hazard, but then again we were linked with Debuchy so he could of been looking at him.
I hope we do get one of these players but the amount of clubs in for Hazard is rediculous, he is gonna go for a 'lotta money and will probably take the highest wages offered sadly.

I am not sure why we would be interested in the likes Hazard, Gotze etc.. Good players dont get me wrong (Gotze fantastic) but scoring or creating goals hasnt really been a problem for us. In Nani and Valencia we've 2 of the best wingers in the league imo and add Young to that its a great trio of wingers. What we need imo is
A defensive minded CM (about 21/22) who would provide good back up to the Carrick and with good potential. We were hopelessly poor defensively early on in the season with no Carrick and I hope he stays injury free for the run in or we might be in a bit of trouble.
An attack minded CM would be nice but we could probably wait 1 more season to see how Pogba comes on and if finally Anderson can have an injury free season (not holding my breath mind!)

Gutted Sunderland couldn't hold out, but come on! City drop two points! Full speed ahead Ewood Park.
From what I have saw I think Hazard would be a good fit at United, I prefer him to Gotze, think he has more potential and is pretty class already in a very average team. He is one to replace Giggs anyway, I agree Valencia is probably best winger in the league but not sure about Nani any more, he is not a Ronaldo and has a lot of average games. I think Hazard could really add something to our team, whether it happens or not is another matter.
