BTW, all those officicals today should be hung. Blind fuck of a linesman in the first half. Riley managed to bottle just about every big decision and Boateng had enough fouls to be sent off at least twice. Yeh i agree, Rooney was flagged offside once when he was clean through, and that fucking Gary O'Neil, did you see that dirty tackle? Dirty Twat. No effort to play the ball at all. And that handball incident where a boro defender was the GOALKEEPER, dont get me started

Same fucking linesman. Unreal. And Young kept clattering Ronaldo after his booking and nothing.

Giggsy has lost the pace and effort needed for a winger, which is why he 90% of the time cuts inside. This causes two problems: 1) Defensively, it leaves Patrice Evra exposed on the left flank; 2) Up front, it creates congestion, with Ryan Giggs making the same runs as Wayne Rooney or Carlos Tevez. It also allows defenders to double up on Ronaldo, as they know their centre backs can mark two men with one defensive run.
But Giggs wasn't the only culprit today. Boro worked very, very hard. Carrick was poor, Scholesy was fairly poor aswell. Friggin' typical that Boro fight out of their skins against us, and dead cert that Alves would score after his 'mare last week. Penalty that wasn't given changed the game.

Mixed feelings on the result. At one point I was praying for 2-2 and Boro had clear cut chances to score 4 against us today.
My main problem is with the thuggish behaviour of the Boro players. Kicked us all over the park and the ref did nothing. How they still had 11 men on the pitch at the end I don't know. Southgate can shut the fuck up with Boro having no problem with Ronaldo and all - his players looked determined to go out and hurt him today. And that challenge on Evra was fucking awful and not even a freekick was given! 22 fouls, 3 yellow cards. Says it all.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with how we played. Going forward we looked awesome and played some really nice football. Lovely passes and touches.
Boro came at us though and I'd say they were worthy of the point. Just fucking frustrating when you look at how Chelsea played there in comparison to us. Couldn't Boro have saved one of those three woodwork chances for us??
Defensively we looked poor though. Too many mistakes. Never should have been Carrick covering for the second goal. John O'Shea was wandering outside the box somewhere. Don't understand why Hargreaves didnt start right back with Wes in the centre. Rio going off is a worry long term, but in the match, it meant we couldn't bring on Anderson, who was well needed.
Was a clear penalty though with that handball on Ronnie's shot. Oh well. Three points gives us some space, but not as much as I'd like.

Ohhhh i really dnt know what to say.
I think we started well but after the second half we started to lose ball and we didn't played as we know;Sure the weather didn't help but we've been lucky the match finished 2-2 in this way we still 3 points up.
i really dnt know if i should feel happy or dissapointed,but i guess i feelo more dissapointed than happy,dropping points like that is not good and it doesn't help.

Fecking Boro , I hate going there. We should have had a clear penalty and Rooney was on side and that should have been a goal. The ref. was fuckall , Boeatang had enough fouls to be sent off. I would like to see if that deluded gooner shows up now.
Poor performance by the entire defence along with Giggs and Tevez. Giggs had been ordinary throughout the season tbh. We clearly couldn't handle the long balls in absence of Vidic and thank fuck that VDS was on fire or else it would have been an repeat of 2005. Kinda expected the way we conceded.I would to see Pique instead of O'shea against Roma and Arsenal.
Yet again we make life difficult for ourselves but still 3 points is enough of a lead to see us through.We live to fight another day. Although I was happy that we didn't have any other injuries apart from Rio ( I hope it isn't serious) The way Boro players kept chopping our players , I was rather concerted on the injury front rather the result.

I dont think it was a very bad performance from the team today, but it was the worst of the season from Rio before he got injured. To me, Rio looks just like someone he has lost his girlfriend LOL. He was missing Vidic so badly, it seems like he cant carry on living without Vidic LOL. Now it's the time to admit it, Vidic is the better out of the two. Vidic wouldnt be that troubled without Rio. Maybe actually, Vidic is actually the husband while Rio is the wife LOLOLOL.
Rooney.. just hope he can improve his finishing, while Tevez, he just didnt performed today.
I was dissappointed to see that neither Park nor Anderson was brought in at half time, SAF should have done that, everybody else can see that. We needed somebody who can run like a terrier up front today, which was supposed to be Tevez but its just not his day today.
Just glad we escaped the lose.
But the bigger problem here is, how about the coming matches without the husband? And now maybe without the wife too.. Pique certainly has reached the level needed, let him play, I dont worry too much. When else anyway? And he certainly looked comfortable without Rio. Maybe a case of juniors cant perform well with the seniors because he feels different pressure?
Anyway, the premiership is still very much in our hands.

A shakey performance from which we did well to get a point out of, I don't think we were terrible but defensively it wasn't the best of displays. Boro are always a tough fixture because they're a team that shows up against tough opposition, let's not forget they beat Arsenal earlier this year which was something few were expecting given their form at the time. I'm certainly glad we got something out of it but Chelsea are right on our heels, our match against them becomes even more critical now not to mention we have to beat Arsenal. I think we'll still do it but in true United form we like to make it difficult...

Why didn't Hargreaves start is still is a mystery. I mean we can't expect Scholes & carrick to play 3 full games in a week.

1 point is better than none but make no mistake about it this was a game needed to win, fergie goes on about hargreaves importance then why did he not start, oshea regardless of what he did in rome is no center back, i am so dissappointed we now play arsenal then chelsea and we need to win both the kill their sprit an biuld a 6 point gap. whether the refs didnt do their jobs or boro were physical, knowing what is at stake we shoulder had clearer heads defensively. pique should have started. hope rio is gonna be fit for arsenal, i woould not risk him for roma.

BTW, Scholes was one of our better players today. Some people seem to think he played poorly? Don't think so.

I don't know what to say about the game. Although drawing with Boro is never a good thing, it could've been much worse. I won't comment on the refs, that's never a good idea. We didn't play all that bad really, but we missed Vidic, that's for sure. We need him for the Chelsea and Assnal games, which will be crucial for the title.

Pretty gutted weve dropped points, but we live to fight another day! We really missed Vida today! If i was playing against us i would put high balls in between our defence and midfield all day, we seem to struggle massively against this simple tactic and defend superbly against teams that try to play football.
Rio left the Riverside with casing around his foot/ankle, hope hes ok!
