What did you expect? it's Americans making fun of the footie.
These type of people would rather watch a fat guy break his arm while tossing a baseball at someone or a hot dog eating contest.

We ripped apart Villa 4-1. Frightening :eek:

Was piss funny when Ronaldo came on against 9 man Villa. It was like adding oil to a big fire. Haha.
 

Help?

Another game, another 4 goals. Too bad we didn't keep a clean sheet, would have been nice to go 690 minutes without conceeding a goal, but 4-1 will do. Villa got destroyed by the two red cards, however the game was decided already at the end of the first half. Overall, a good performance, slow start but after that it was all Manchester. Anderson playing well today and Pique had a nice game as well, Nani on top form again he was creating trouble all over the place for Villa. Rooney deserved a hat-trick, shame the penalty didn't go in.

Ha! Generally true.
Just don't forget, some of us yanks actually do care about the beautiful game. We're a minority, but we do exist.
Edit: P.S. Does anyone else think we got complacent towards the end? Villa created a couple chances even being two men down, that worried me a little.

This Man Utd attack is just starting to show it's potential... nice to see Rooney getting fit again... very good performance from him, Tevez and Nani... Anderson was more discrete this time around, but he did well...

How did Anderson/Nani Play? lol

Anderson didn't do that well playing alongside Scholes. He wasn't given the license to attack for most of the game. There was no dribbling runs from him, he just tried to keep it neat and tidy. Didn't really cope well with Villa's midfield for the first half, the scoreline is misleading in half-time, it was really all due to Villa's awful defending.


Nani on the other hand attacked well and tried to do what Ronaldo does. Quick feet, acceleration and a few tricks helped Rooney get the first goal. Good performance by him, was a constant threat to the Villa defence.

yeah, he went with accuracy over power, his shot was right in the corner. but if you are doing it like that you need to go high. ah well, he got 2. cant complain.

i was hoping we would put a few more past villa once they had the 2 reds shown. to get a better goal difference in case we need it come the end of the season. but i think the lad just took it easy in the last 15-20 minutes.

Why? Obviously it won't be as close this season. Either you'll slip up and Arsenal or Chelsea will end up with the title or one of those other teams will and you'll win the title. Personally, united are fine on gd, by the end of the season, I expect to see them on top on GD even if they end up a few points behind whoever wins it. I love Rio Ferdinand's media statements, 'Rooney is our spartacus.'

Chelsea? Dropped too many points now methinks.

On the radio they were saying it was the birth of Anderson in the premiership. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but was solid enough and read the game well. You've got to remember we were playing with 4 extremely attacking midfielders. Can't all bomb on for 90 mins.
