Wolves vs Manchester United - 5/2/2011

[ajt09]

Which of the top 4 have games in hand?

 

[Redrup]

Arsenal must be even more angry they didnt hold on to 4-0 now with utd losing

You could think of it that way, but the way I see it is they failed to extend their lead over us and we actually got a point closer :wub:

 

[craig curtis]

Well done wolves! well gutted my beloved united lost just looked out of ideas some players should have a look at themseleves after that

 

[Alcaraz]

I don't see how Elekobi was so amazing, he scored a header with nobody around him and he didn't keep Nani in his pocket..

lol, he may not be amazing but he made loads of clearances, there is only so much you can do against Nani when ur Elokobi

btw Wolves won, their whole defence was fantastic according to me, desperate defending but it worked in the end

 

[Calum]

2-1 Wolves i hope

Woo got it right

 

[Azzy]

Well done Wolves...

It wasn't gonna last forever, hope you can climb out of Relegation.

Wahey! Well played Wolverhampton Wanderers. Who would have thought it, the team to finally end United's frankly brilliant unbeaten run. Wolves were exceptional today, and thoroughly deserved all three points. The whole team came together, and were the better side, a brilliant day of Wolves' history, one of the best Wolves games I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot.

George Elokobi. What a game this lad had today. Personally, I have never rated him, but today he gave everything to the Wolves cause today. He made every ball, made some fantastic tackles, and despite his stature, didn't look tired at all throughout the game. Wolves' man of the match for me, well played big George.

United will definitely complain about the ref and Fergie will have a fit on SSN tonight. The fact of the matter is, every side has bad ref games, and it doesn't happen to United often, we've been the fall of some frankly terrible reffing over the years I've been a Wolves fan. Look, the penalty was a handball, and the O'Hara tackle was a red, but yet it was kept quiet about Giggs deliberate trip on Doyle in the last minutes of the game.

The ref clearly had a bad game, but that shouldn't be an excuse for United today. They weren't as good as they have been in games this season. But Wolves really turned it on for the partisan crowd tonight, and it was a brilliant game to watch. The lads should be proud of themselves, and even, even if we do get relegated, people will be upset, but personally, I'd have this win over avoiding relegation if I had the choice. Hopefully, it's a choice I won't have to make, and we can build on this victory, and possibly get a result at Arsenal and at home to West Brom. Things look good for us, well played Wolverhampton Wanderers

Outstanding refereeing performance . 2 rugby tackles, a hand ball and a obvious red card all missed. Oh and about 12512363474 blatent dives from Kevin Doyle

to sum up: :'(

I don't think it's about how good Wolves were today or how poor we were, it's the way they were set up.

When Blackpool went ahead vs us, they continued to attack and hold a high line. They were punished.

When Villa went ahead vs us, they tried to just control the game and attack us. They were punished.

When Wolves went ahead vs us, they sat back and crowded the penalty area. They let us have the ball and said "Get past us if you can" and we couldn't. Simple as that.

Well done Wolves, but we'll have to do MUCH better than that if we want to get anything against City..

Also, for the drama queen of United. We've lost twice in all competitions this season. We are in the Last 16 of the Champions League and are favourites to progress. We're in the 6th Round of the FA Cup with a home tie against the weakest team in the competition in the next round. Favourites to progress. Top of the league by 4 points with 13 games to go, favourites to win the league. Man up.

 

[Calum]

1928: And next up for Wolves? Arsenal away. Yep.

 

[markodragojevic]

Smalling > Evans IMO

 

[Joss]

Man Utd’s unbeaten run ended on 29 games – level with their previous best PL unbeaten run. Invincible? Clearly not. 2003/04

Seriously, though.. Didn't think Wolves would be the one to do it, it's been coming though - their away form has been awful and they hand a lifeline (of sorts) to Arsenal, who, despite dropping four goals and two points, are still very much in the race for four trophies (Not saying we'll get them, so don't quote me on that!)

Out of interest? Did Paul Scholes get booked for trying to punch the ball in the net?

 

[sunilvk7]

Yes, Scholes was booked for that Maradona effort.

Is that because chances are City are going to be crowding the penalty area from the kick-off, just like a certain game at the Emirates?

Well said.

 

[Madridista CR7]

2 United vs Chelsea games still to come Cant wait for them...but im not really looking forward to the Manchester derby. Because i think we will lose at OT. Hopefully Mancini doesn't park his buss there

Yes Scholes got booked, and I always had implications on whether United could carry their unbeaten form throughout the season, they were lucky in a couple of matches due to bad ref decisions and scored a few last-minute equalisers in some matches, still never thought Wolves would beat them in the end

if you cant win atleast dont lose |)

I'm not looking forward for Manchester derby too. They parked the bus at Eastlands, and they did the same at Emirates. I'm very much sure they will park the plane at Old Trafford. It would be pain to watch that sort of match unless we score early in the game.
