Hey Nick, before you get all antsy, you might want to read the second part,

Jumping the gun mate? :)

To tomo riba

You have forgotten to write "Dear Santa Claus!!!"

Fair result - no complaints, although it'll be harsh if Percy is given the goal.

Essien - outstanding
Frank - sliding again
Ballack - needs to sweat

Initially i taught a draw wasn;t good, but i kind of prefer it now as it was at old trafford. quite a fair result but i would like us to create more chances with our domination in the second half. Man u was jittery and we shld have finished them. i still have my misgivings about ballack, as he's got little or no drive in the midfield, and i believe he can do more. Essien was invinscible until he came to right back! Lampard still the man anyday! QED.

If we could play in the first half as we have played in the second........

A very good result at Old Trafford. And that was a good tactical changes by JM taken off Geremi and replaced him with Robben for more attacking options and it really changed the game. With the couple of hard games coming on this December , we should be able to go to the top by winning all our matches . I am so confident that Manutd will sure lose point very soon either at Middle'sborogh or Man City. All we just need to do is win all our matches till January and see where we are by then. BAllack is not at his best yet but i have a strong belief in him and Shevy so we should hopeful they will come good to the end of the season. Ashely Cole is back to his best form and more to come from him.

Up Blues forever

A quick update: I'll post about yesterday's game later today. Bit busy and hungover at the moment.

1-1 with the scum is fine by me, i feel they would be more disappointed then we are. like Jose said, 3 points is nothing, its a weekender(at bernies?!?!?!)

anyway, there is all this talk of video technology and that. i wonder what everyone thinks of the aussie rules football style of doing things where you can be reported(booked) after the game. the umpires watch the game.

obviously this wouldn'y change the reult in the event of a bad decision but what i feel it would do it stop players from diving etc etc.. if you know youre going to get a yellow post game for a dive, then im sure you''ll stop pretty quick smart.

just an idea, would love to know what you all think

KTBFFH

I don't see anything wrong with the use of technology within the game. It works pretty effectively in rugby without too much disruption and stoppages.

If you think about how much time is wasted on players hounding the referee after a dubious decision, it could be dealt with fairly quickly by a guy upstairs.

What would be a good idea during games, and it has been talked about, is only the captian approaches and speaks to the referee.

Perhaps also a slightly different slant on the use of the technology would be for each team captain to be allowed the use of two calls throughout the game on the possible overturning of a decision. At least that way the calls should be used wisely, and it might stop some the nonsense that goes on now.
