If things keep going the way they have been recently it's the Rent boys we'll have to look out for! Great to see strength in the squad getting through this one pretty easily. A week off and a stroll against Fulham was ideal before things really start to heat up. And Nani was really good again. He's having a big impact now each week.

I was watching some videos of Hargreaves at Bayern, and thinking when will he score for United. It was a really easy win, with some of the bigger names being rested, everyone did brilliant, i dont really have a MOTM, because everyone worked so hard.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
What a frustrating day. We were excellent and well worth the win, but Arsenal were lucky as fuck and didn't deserve a thing from what I saw. Bloody scrappy goal too and I have no idea where the 4th official got 4 mins from. Never mind. One point closer and we are looking bloody great. COME ON LADS!! (Sorry, im a little bit drunk..)

Why do Assnal have to be so lucky?! But we played great and we're just one pint behind!!! The Gunners can't be lucky all the time

Scholes' pass to Saha. He's back to his best now. It's great having so many great midfielders. Thanks to the amount of talent - available talent - we have in that position, we haven't been forced to throw him in at the deep end after being out for so long. Perfect. And now he is back. Fantastic. If he cements his place in the XI from now until the end of the season, I can see loads of goals coming from him. Arsenal are shaking. We are totally in control now. London Bridge is falling down.

Good, solid, professional performance by our boys tonight (my time) without ever setting the place alight. Even though Le Arse are still a point above us I feel the momentum is ours. Bring on Lyon!

Great performance from United. The depth is amazing and the entire squad is playing well. Nani has really impressed me the past few weeks. Very good player and cant wait to see him develop at United!

I've been to many games in my life, up and down the country, from Scotland to Russia, but Fulham have the worst set of supporters I've ever heard.

Fulham were shite!! simple as,, they hardly threatened our goal,, and wen they did VDS pulled off some great saves apart from one cross he decided to punch out instead of catch when he seemed comfortable enough,, we really should have raked up more goals ah well,, i'm happy with the win,, pity them cockney cunts got an equaliser right at the end of their game,, fuck em!!!

It's always amusing to read an opposing supporter's take on a match:
From The Times this moring:
March 02, 2008
Of mother-in-laws and squirrels: peering into the abyss
The last thing we needed was to have Manchester United visit us in our current state. I suppose it's the football equivalent of having your mother-in-law pay you a surprise visit at 830am on a Sunday morning, ostensibly to 'tidy the flat'. You're hung over, grumpy, and smell strange. You don't need it.
Or not, I don't know. But Fulham could have done without visitors like this. We're having a bad time playing against the league's also-rans, United's players were just too much. Consider the goals we conceded:
An Owen Hargreaves free-kick A Ji-Sung Park header (thumping, towering... how?) A Simon Davies own goal following a John O'Shea 'raid'
It's enough to make you want to jack all this in.
Whatever our midfield tried, Hargreaves had already thought of it and was there to block, intercept, whatever. Scholes was also several thought processes ahead of our players, and made this known on numerous occasions when his passing was just too good. The best was a quick free-kick inside the United half: Scholes looked up and flipped it 40 yards into Saha's stride. The ex-Fulham man was kind and screwed his shot high and wide, but that pass! Wow. Our best work on Nani was when Paul Konchesky shoved the little urchin into the metal advertising hordings. We couldn't deal with him by conventional means. Thank god they gave Ronaldo and Rooney the day off.
The strangest thing was watching United sit back for the last twenty minutes. Fulham manfully tried to weave intricate passing movements through this mass of red, but predictably got nowhere. It was superficially exciting, and allowed us to think that we'd 'had a go', but in the real world United could have woken up and gone looking for more goals at any moment. But they have Lyon to play in the week and so wanted to rest.
Where now then for Fulham? Many of us are advocating a 'shit or bust' approach to the remaining games. We have tried to play the right way, to keep things tight, but this invariably means that any one incident can decide things, and Fulham being Fulham, that incident will more than likely be in our opponents' favour. It is not hard to see us losing to Blackburn by 1-0, the goal coming via a deflection off a trespassing squirrel. It's been that sort of season. No, we must go for it, select as many forwards as we can and try to confuse teams into 5-4 defeats. Nothing else has worked.
If not, well, we might win some games next season.
