How bad was that "tackle" on Ronaldo in the box from Michael Brown? He got the ball and Brown just ran into him and that twat Riley didnt give a penatly when you can clearly see Brown made no attempt to play the ball.

Great second half today, in the end the forced subs may have helped us in a way because it made us play with Anderson and Scholes in the middle, both of whom have the ability to pick a pass and we also got Simpson on at right back who kept making runs down the wing and over lapping, something Wes has been getting better at but you can tell it's not a natural part to his game where as Simpson seems to do it instinctively and could even have scored one.
Definately encouraging to see the youngsters do well, though I think most would have expected that when they were surrounded by better players, with the injuries we're picking up atm we may need them to do a job in a few games so a performance like that was more than welcome.
Is MOTD even on tonight with only 2 games played? if so united should get a good outing lol.

Mike Riley was useless today. He hardly gave us a thing. The crowd were going mad and its no surprise. Im sure he was just doing most of it to piss us off. Wanker.

^^ he was loving the attention, hate it when refs wanna get themselves noticed but at least it didn't cost us today, if that penalty had been given though it coulda been an absolute hiding for Wigan looking at how the game panned out after our first.

Regardless of Riley's twattery I'm fucking delighted with that performance. Just gonna go and watch MOTD now. Really impressed with Anderson, Tevez, Simpson and Giggs in comparison to some previous games. Thought Scholes also played better than at times this season. His movement, passing and technique were, once again, unreal. Kuszczak is starting to look a proper keeper too isn't he? No need to mention how good Rooney, Rio and Ronaldo were. In fact the only performance I was even slightly disappointed in was Evra and he certainly wasn't bad.

Good game wasn't it ? Despite not being given a penalty by the useless Riley, we came good after a dodgy first half. I think the injuries messed us up, but the 2nd half was pure good football, admittedly against a poor Wigan side.
Tevez might have been outgunned by two goal Ronaldo, but he showed all the qualities to prove that he will be a great signing for Manchester United. I was very impressed by his overall game but it was all in the way he was able to hold off the defenders whilst controlling the ball that stood out for me. Very hard to stop, but having the skill to go with it. If there is a fault to Christiano Ronaldo’s game, then it is that he goes to ground too easy and doesn’t fight for the team. You cannot say the same of Tevez.
Simpson looked good going forward and had a chance to score himself, but perhaps he should have passed it square. Wigan were limited going forward and both Simpson and Pique weren’t tested too much in defence.
Despite all praise for Tevez, I should mention another new signing, Anderson. Although he looked dodgy in the first half, in the 2nd he looked really good and played the best I’ve seen him so far. Better teams would take advantage of Scholes and Anderson together, I think Anderson will have a long term future at the club.

Lot of positives today.
Tevez was outstanding. Never been any doubt for me that he's a great signing.
Anderson looked like a player who might become worth what we may end up paying for him.
And if Pique and Simpson continue in that vein then they are great for the future (and backup for now).
Ronny looks like he can be bang on target to at least equal last years goal tally.
Today may have been 'only Wigan', but it's a Wigan side who were unlucky not to get anything against Liverpool last week.
All in all a very good day.

The goals were great. Just seen them on tv for the first time on MOTD and they look great!!! The 3rd and 4th goals were brilliant as a team and Tevez took his goal very well. Andersons passes were superb. The one where Ronaldo could have got a hat trick was unreal. I wish you could see a replay of the goals when you're at the game

You're not wrong there mate. As soon as the 3rd official showed the board for added on time, shit loads of people got up and walked out. I couldn't believe it. With 10 minutes left, 2 people near me got up. I made an 'I didn't know football games were now only 80 minutes long' comment. I don't think the person liked it.

Forgot to mention, Wigan brought fucking no one! They had a smaller seating area than usual, with some reds sat in parts of the corner where away fans usually sit, and they couldn't even fill that! How teams can be in the Premiership with such shite support is beyond me. They didn't sing or anything.
