A forceful shoulder barge verse a shoulder to the head. Foul verse dangerous play.

Nope. Not seeing a difference at all .....



Only saw from 76 minutes (crazy busy day), so don't have a clue how the game went. Save to say any win over a Pulis side (who apparently has actually been playing football of late as per a West Brom lad on the Wrap this week. I know, I was stunned too) is a good win regardless.

Both strikers both sides should of been straight red carded there. But WTF Anthony Taylor is doing still being given Utd games is anyones guess. With the absolutely stupid, to be kind, decision to award Mike Dean the Derby Monday, you have to SERIOUSLY question whomever is making these appointments.

..... Another very good result, back-to-back away wins under the lights at Selhurst & The Hawthorns in 3 days, puts pressure on all 4 of Liverpool, Arsenal, and in particular Spurs & City tomorrow.....

Until we're back in first, there's little concern with whats going on behind us. The pressure if any is coming from Chelsea and keeping nicely in touch with them for the game the end of January.
 
I missed the game for christmas meal out with the family, how was Pogba? Really happy with the 3 points though against any Pulis side is difficult. Glad to see we are keeping our momentum going.

A good, solid, disciplined performance. Didn't quite get as forward as much as usual, but seeing as we got such an early goal, he was helping Carrick & Herrera manage the game for large parts... and very effectively.

Interesting from Mourinho to go from 'Carrick can't play twice in a week for the same reason I can't go to the gym everyday anymore' to plaiying him what like 3 times in a week? He obviously knows he's a huge player and massive part of that midfield trio. This could be our hardest job in years when it comes to replacing Carrick.

Yeah, but all in in all, with Chelsea and United winning today, there's pressure on all of those named teams in one way or another. IF Everton were to somehow get a result on Monday, which would be a surprise, then you'd be 9 or 7 points behind Chelsea and possibly only a reduced 6 ahead of United (double figured points ahead of us at one stage, right?), in what's only December.

It's going to be a long, interesting season.

The thing is, the way Carrick plays, I think he could play for another 2 years. He plays in the manner of someone like Pirlo, doesn't use a lot of energy, just amazing positional awareness and dictates/controls the game. It's all down to him whether or not he wants to hang them up or not.

Looking at one team at the moment. The team in first and finishing above them. The focus is on winning the football league. Nothing less.

Fair enough, good attitude.

Didn't realise you were only 4 in front of us, thought you were 6, my mistake... excuse me in saying come on Everton, Burnley, and a little draw at the Etihad. (6)

You could guarantee me 2nd to 4th now and I'd happily turn you down. I want to see how this plays out and this team is seriously looking at the same thing.

If you're seriously looking up at teams above you and over taking them (and why wouldn't you be?), I'd add another point on in the fun calculations game of where you may make up the difference for the big goal difference/ goals scored deficits.

Haha sorry, that was random as ****. Remember the Swansea lad, was mint for a season or more, seen as a big bargain, I remember that line was almost used as much as the 'Arsenal 4th' joke. :D

New Utd signing came back from suspension yesterday and came on at half time to do this


Redan scored all 4 goals as Ajax u17s beat Almere 4-1 this morning. United scout Henny DeRegt was at the match

Good Lord. Just seen a short highlight clip from yesterday and that has to be one of the worst examples of referring for a LONG time.

First you have a no question straight red card for Rojo that completely changes the game at 0-0. (That's two in the last three games now that have been real dangerous and nasty from him. Need to reel that back in ASAP or the next official won't be so lenient.). Then missing not just the blatant hand ball from Zlatan but Pogba being offside the same move on Utd's first. Talking of blatant, just how do you not see the Palace fella punch the ball away for a stonewall penalty? Followed by the bizarre offside on Mata? With countless more doubtless missed in between.

Craig Pawson and his crew need to hang their heads in shame after making such bad calls on such blatant incidents.

And his 'reward' for such incompetence? ...... L'pool- City on NY's eve.

Oh what joy.

A premonition.
Three blatant penalty kicks missed, two straight reds and one for 2nd yellow not given, offside goal for City given, Klopp sent to the stands for smiling too much.

On Rojo. The guy has been a fixture in the Argentine defence for a long time now. Not surprised if he s actually been quite good when given a run in the team in his natural position. And by natural position Im alluding to him being **** at fb.
