Hope i made the title right, anyway I wanted to start a thread up for this match coming up today. Should be a scrappy battle considering most of our better players will be rested for the upcoming weekend matches. I say we pull it out, 1-0.

I'm guessing that we'll perform much better than the previous 2 matches and own them 3-0 or 3-1 on their own ground. :) (or better: :()

I think not. We'll probably play our second string, and Reading are great at home.

I hope Reading pull the upset. 2-1

Man, this is training ground stuff now. Fletcher has all goal infront of him and he decides to pass back!!! I say field this team against Liverpool, Reading is getting owned

figures i tune in JUST after the 3 goals are scored

1-3. F*cking corner. How typical.

A better keeper would have save those.

richardson sucks

Saha is having a brilliant game.

Reading don't know how to cope with Saha so they keep on fouling him.
O'Shea and Brown are very sloppy.. So is Richardson :|

saha looks great

lol o'shea's shot

Hell knows whether that was a shot or a cross. Either way it sucked.

The ref just did a Poll!!!! Bikey with 2 yellows and no red card!

idiot o'shea almost giving a penalty away

Wasn't Bikey booked in the first half? He got a second yellow and is still on the field :|

i didnt see the first bikey incident, but would be funny if he was booked twice, like Graham Poll at the world cup.

Maybe the TV cameras got it wrong.

On comes Ronaldo :D:D

The commentators, the websites everybody said that Bikey was booked in the first half, but apparently it was De La Cruz. Looked like Bikey to me as well.

yes, everybody agreed on who was booked except the referee

grr, first touch saha

now it's 3-2.... can we stop this defensive shell gameplan and go back to what got us 3 goals?

great game tho, wow

2-3. Lita header.
To be honest Reading deserved it. What the hell are we doing? The game looked as good as over after 6 minutes :|

O'Shea,Brown,Fletcher n RICHARDSON SUCK.
pathetic display by em

:Bow: A very damn good game. would have love to see it go to extra time. Reading are amazing

Yeah, sounds like United. Get it easy and then make it as hard as possible for some adrenaline rush. Our players are too extraverted.

Got too cocky. Dallying on the ball, making stupid passes, and being selfish in other places. The whole midfield deserves to be lined up and shot.

have a feeling the papers will be very kind to reading, they did play well but i think its really cos after we went up 3-0 we just stopped playing and never got back in the rythmn allowing reading back into the match. oh well at least we are through and off to face boro

hope richardson get s shipped off to some indian football club

watta game lol...thought it was over like after 20 min and we, as per our tradition, make it tough :rolleyes:...gr8 for a neutral but not for a utd fan

@VantheMan: which indian club wud want richardson ? :D...we have some standards too ya know ;)

First 6 minutes was amazing, rest of the first half was alright, second half was shocking. I think the defence was almost equally as poor as the midfield - having no one on the far post for the first goal was absolutely stupid and some of the clearances were appalling.

Fletch, O'Shea and Richardson haven't been good enough for a long time now and should be got rid of and even Park, who looked promising when he arrived, looked out of his depth for most of the game.

Even Park? I think he's been performing extremely well so far.

God, so frustrating to watch. I stand by not having O'Shea and Fletcher in the same team, all they do is pass to each other

and even Park, who looked promising when he arrived, looked out of his depth for most of the game.

Hell no man. Park was all over the pitch yesteday. He did as many clearances from the box as any other defender out there. And he actually would keep the ball away from Reading when in his own half, unlike the other 3 mids we had. Selling Park would be very stupid, he always gives everything and actually has great skill compared to our other back-up players. He is not starting eleven material yet, but for a back-up, there aren't many teams that wouldn't want him on the bench.

ya re..even mohan bagan wouldd think twice..

ahhh..lets just as well let him play at a public park

I think its time to get rid of Fletcher and Richardson and possibly Silvestre, and use the money to get Hargreaves, a left winger (Possibly Matthew Taylor or Frank Ribery) and a defender (Perhaps Vincent Kompany)

well i came home to late to see the start ,played 10 min when i turned on the tv (:/)
so i missed the good stuff!
but i got to see the bad stuff: poor defending and sloppy play and last Fletcherson's
but we won and that's all that matters!

geez that was a scare. hope we dont take boro lightly.

stop playing FM. Why would we need Kompany? We have Jonny Evans coming through the ranks who looks a quality player, along with pique if he comes back. Kompany is just a name anyway, i'm sure i heard he wasn't exactly setting the world alight in germany. Taylor and Ribery aren't exactly left wingers either.

We need a quality striker, saha isn't consitant enough, and we also need to add depth to the centre of midfield.

even Oster and Little make great backups for united compared to oshea and fletch... they completely ruin our midfield.
