Well when Rio went, United had no shape, played in the 46th minute like it was the 90th.

The thing which pisses me off the most is they way nobody stood up and took responsibility, they just seemed to be waiting for another to run the pitch and score, Boro were there for the taking. We looked nervous, tense, Rooney was on the right for some reason. Now it's obviously down to Chelsea tomorrow, they could be in control of where the title goes by tomorrow night.

We miss Nev, Vida, Rio and Park immensely. No excuse for that performance though. If Fergie doesn't think Richardson is capable of chasing the game for us in the 2nd half, what makes him good enough to start the game? One eye on Milan when he'd 'take the premiership alone.' Same at Pompey Sir Alex, you rest players for the champions league and we slip up.

And that's why at the beginning of the season people were worrying about the depth of our squad.

I wish we had gone out of the CL earlier, quite frankly the extra matches has not been great for us this season. I'm so fucked off at the moment, we wasted a lot of chances when we finally started playing well, but that wasn't good enough. Not for a team that wants to win the league.

It's still in our hands, but it's going to be fucking tough, three wins and a draw at a bridge is a must.

[A-t-S]

chelsea are obviously gonna beat newcastle... so the gap is now down to ONE POINT ! I can't believe we've let it get it this tight ! Now it's EXTREMELY hard especially as we've got no defenders left ! Fucking hell ! FUCKING BULLSHIT !
These are the sort of games we're supposed to be winning easily and we somehow FUCK UP !

[matkaman]

Bad vibe about todays performance ,we looked knackered the next few weeks are going to be fucking hard to watch but we have come this far and all we can do is get behind the team and hope Chelsea bottle it .

[nwra]

Congratulations chelsea anyone?

fuck this.......fuck life......................................................FUCK BORO.......THEY GO TO LIVERSHIT AND DON'T TRY BUT THEY ONLY TRY TO TAKE POINTS OFF US.....FUCK

[danishred]

Also, teh boro goal was due to Rio's injury. He could barely move and it is SAF fault for not subbing him. If Rio would have been 100% at the time of the goal he would have been able to get back near the 6 yd box and head it away.

Oh my....We are throwing it away. I agree with MissUnited, i wish we had gone out of the CL earlier.

[Busby Boy]

Well, let's look at it this way. It's down to who's got the bottle from now on in, we win all our games or atleast win three and draw at Stamford Bridge we win the title..on the other hand Chelsea win all theirs they've won the title.

Immediately after the game, I phoned my dad and said "blown it" as I cooled down, I changed it to "blown it wide open". I'm hoping Newcastle can do us a favour, but is that realistic?..They still have Bolton, Everton and Arsenal though so it's not going to be clear cut for either side from now on in.

The neutrals have got what they've wanted since god knows how long but as a United fan this makes me sick to the stomach and filled with so much nerves..I don't know..I'm just fucked!

One of my friends said to me "United will end up trophyless" and I laughed it off as Scouse stupidity but now it's dawning on me that it could be a reality.

COME ON BOYS LETS FUCKING KILL EM WE AINT CALLED MANCHESTER UNITED FOR NOTHING.SIR MATT WILL TURNING IN HIS GRAVE AFTER THIS RESULT WHAT A NITE MARE

[matkaman]

Newcastle will roll over and play dead tomorrow , its going to be a mind games was from now on between Fergie and jose ,like the Pompey game just have to forget about it and move on . We scored 7 goals after that defeat, we have the best manager in the business he will get them to focus on the job at hand . Im still confident we can do this and normally im a miserable git .

[missunited]

after my god knows how many cigarettes I've now calmed down.

It's in our hands still, but it's going to be bloody tough. We need to keep going, one match at a time and keep winning.

[ReD RaT]

I am going to have a heart attack within the next month; I can sense it. It'll probably do me some good if I get it tomorrow; that way I'll miss my exams. But otherwise ... WHY!

None of our shots were on target in the 2nd half. Schwarzer didn't have to make a save, despite the near misses. For God sake, Scholesy, why didn't you have a pop at goal??

It's down to Newcastle or Arsenal to save my sanity. Or else I think I'm gonna crack.

[lawfan]

Yes why the hell was Rooney hovering around in the right wing for the last 25 Minutes, and Ronaldo seemed to be playing center midfield.

We completely panicked and lost our shape since Ferdinand's injury. Actually, you have to feel for the players we had non of our first choice defenders available
