Well, we got the '1' part right already. Now just a small matter of the 5.
 
Villa's first goal away came against us :mad:
Shows how poor we are really - can someone turn it round???? Forlan poor as usual and Becks hit the bar :( seems not our day <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />
 
At least we seem to have started to play a little since the goal - and Villa are still totally crap - an equalizer and I think they would fall apart
 
Ah well, you've got to laugh.

I'd have bet money on Villa scoring first.
 
Mellberg goal, no marking - 34th minute

United 0-1 Villa :(

Becks shot from edge of penlaty area with his left foot hits the bar.

Commentators saying Forlan getting a bit of stick for his lack of touch on the ball

we should really stop saying others are crap - cause we are as bad (i'm afraid to say) :rolleyes:
 
Forlan with the header was close to getting the equaliser.

3 minutes to go in the 1st half
 
Forlan clean through and 1 on 1 with the Villa keeper Encklemen and he made a save to deny Forlan. 2 clear chances for Forlan in the last few minutes.
 
Diego seems to be our most dangerous player.

I agree... did we actually have a game where we looked like winning this season? We've carried our form of last season into this one and who is to say that we can do better than this when it's been going on for a year now: with the exception of a few good games here and there, it still doesn't change the fact that we are inconsistent and tend to go on these weird streaks for longer periods of time than other teams.
 
poor pass by veron, poor marking by Blanc, poor control by Forlan - seems a comedy of errors out there. Is the radio commentator biased or are we really as bad as it seems??? COME ON REDS
 
Seems like the old gypsy curse is still working.
 
Manchester due for another earthquake at half time.
 
Half-time:

United 0 - 1 Villa


Arsenal 1 - 1 Blackburn

Edu - own goal
Edu - freekick
