i tried to see you bbb but couldnt, so no :*) was thrown.

atmosphere was AWFUL in north stand icon_biggrin.gif 2 lads doing their best to start any kind of noise amongst a sea of people who didnt seem to be arsed, picked up a bit when we were piling on the pressure for the goal but that was about it. even heard some easy chants after we equalised ffs icon_biggrin.gif

any idea on evras injury? thought he was superb last night, such a composed player. cant believe i was so against his signing, wp paddy for making me look a twat. vidic immense as everyone has said, what a monster. simao attempting to square up to him and reaching his nipples a personal highlight.

RONNIE END PRODUCT icon_cool.gif

Oh for sure. I'd give them a standing ovation at the start. But I wouldn't want either one doing anything positive during the game. I couldn't care less if Ruud scored or not.

He will mind, if we get em icon_frown.gif

yes but the bottom line is any ruud goal is going to put us qualifying in jeopardy. if you think we're going to be 5-1 up and ruud is going to score a gracious consolation goal then fair enough. but we all know any ruud goal, especially at old trafford, would potentially cause us massive problems

Alrite lads, livin in Ireland here and want to get tickets and go over to another United match. Been a few times before but have only got the tickets through knowing players relatives and stuff like that.

I wouldn't like to do this again and I'll probably end up having to buy one of those package deals offered by the coach companys over here but was wondering if theres any other ways I could try get a couple of tickets? Cheers.

Yes the likelihood is if he scores it means we arent cruising.

But I have never said anything other than the fact I would love him to have scored provided it didn't prove crucial to us going out.

Wondering if you guys can do me a favour persuading my mongish Man U-supporting friend that the Glazers haven't invested money in players since they arrived. Can't find the list of transfers since they took over but pretty sure there hasn't been that much net investment. Is there a handy list?

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Reserves: United 2 City 0

United's Reserves beat Manchester City in their final game of 2006 thanks to goals from Kieran Richardson and Alan Smith, while long-term absentee Ji-sung Park added gloss to the evening by completing 45 minutes of action.

The Korean winger, out of action since early September after damaging ankle ligaments, looked lively in tricky, saturated conditions and showed no ill effects before being withdrawn at half time.

Park, Smith and Richardson were part of a strong side named by Brian McClair and Jim Ryan, with Tomasz Kuszczak replacing Tom Heaton in goal.

The monsoon-style conditions did little to aid the flow of the game in the opening minutes as both sides were restricted to half-chances in a slow start.

City's Ched Evans flashed a header just wide of Kuszczak's post after 11 minutes, while Smith had a close-range effort deflected over shortly afterwards following Richardson's quick free-kick.

Richardson moved United into the lead in first-half injury time with a beautiful curling free-kick from the edge of the area, a moment of class totally out of keeping with the rest of a bitty, needle-filled first half.

Shocked into life by the Reds' opener, City started the second half well on top, and Kuszczak needed to be alert to save Kelvin Etuhu's swerving strike with his feet.

Despite being on the back foot for the opening five minutes of the half, United soon found their rhythm again and doubled their advantage as Smith scored his first goal since returning from injury.

Aaron Burns pressured City keeper Joe Hart into a hashed clearance, andSmith arced a fine lob into the unguarded goal with the outside of his foot from over 25 yards to effectively bury the game.

Smith was a whisker away from getting onto a great Michael Barnes cross, while Hart made a superb save to deny Aaron Burns from close range as United continued to forge the better openings.

Kieran Lee sent a long-range effort into Hart's arms, and the Blues stopper flung himself to his left to keep out Jamie Mullan's speculative effort as time ticked away.

Kuszczak produced a fine reaction stop to turn Evans' 20-yard drive over the bar with five minutes remaining, and pulled off another close-range stop from the same player but that was City's final threat.

United held on to notch their third win of the season over their local rivals, pointing the way for Sir Alex Ferguson's first team ahead of Saturday's senior derby at Old Trafford.

United: Kuszczak, Gray, Rose, Cathcart, Lea, Lee, Park (Mullan, 46), Richardson, Smith, Burns, Barnes (Evans, 76).

Subs not used: Heaton, Ngalula, Marsh. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
