[Raoul]

Nervy stuff, but we get the points.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Winning games despite playing like shit.

Reminds me of a certain other great manager.

 

[Raptori]

I only managed to catch the second half, but damn... that was painful

 

[Rado_N]

Winning ugly, sign of champions [/cliché]

 

[Santos J]

Great result, shite performance.

 

[villain]

3 points, shit performance, 3rd place.

Happy with that overall

 

[FreakyJim]

thank god...how we won though, I'm not so sure

 

[LARulz]

I stopped watching around the 65th min mark cos I couldn't take it and needed a break before I broke my laptop. But then I saw it was 2:1 and left it just incase I jinxed it.

I am delighted we won but this 3-5-2 madness needs to stop. We are playing Liverpool next and we cannot play this again

 

[Americano]

Scousers will be fuming, that's the best part of winning like that.

 

[Sied]

Absolutely filthy win and I absolutely love it!!!!

 

[lapassion]

This win was as smash and grab as there ever will be. Delighted!

 

[Judge Red]

Three points and two RVP goals are a plus. Best to sweep everything else under the carpet.

 

[Dylan94]

Delighted with that win. It was Arsenal part 2! Obviously we played terribly but we're 3rd! WE'RE 3RD!

 

[Sultan]

Manchester Pirates!

 

[Lay]

Played shit, won the game.

Good a 5 point gap over 5th place and won at a very difficult place to go to.

Young played well.

 

[mu4c_20le]

We were evenly matched, and the quality of our strikers made the difference. Not a very surprising result, but the players could have been more comfortable with the formation.

 

[Member 39557]

We robbed them.

 

[Sandikan]

excellent win to notch up.

3rd place, but most importantly some good difference between us and Arsenal and Pool.

Follow this up with a win on Sunday and we can really blow Liverpool out of the water

 

[sullydnl]

Been fairly poor all season yet we're up to third.

How crap is this league?

 

[Ballache]

3 points from a very difficult match away from home. I don't care how. RvP was majestic and Young had a good game. The rest were terrible! Good times!

 

[Robbie Boy]

Awful awful first half. Slightly better in the second. Anyway, it keeps our momentum going, going into the Liverpool match. We are on a very impressive run, despite looking anything but impressive. Fair play to RvP, he was excellent tonight; two decent finishes and he worked his boll*cks off.

 

[SirAF]

Style means feck all in a match like this, amazing feeling to get 3 points here tonight!

 

[Shane88]

Mental result.

 

[askabob]

Daylight robbery, we deserved a point at best (if that)

 

[Trizy]

Very undeserved but feck me that was someone saying ''sorry'' for our terrible performance.

And to think I actually was complaining about RVP starting

 

[Randall Flagg]

Usually shitty performances when we win I really don't care, I'm just delighted.

Tonight I am pleased of course but Jesus we were worryingly poor. We didn't look like a side trying to win 5 in a row and get to 3rd place

Rooney had no energy at all. Rojo was shocking. Fellaini will be the main fall guy but he did at least improve after a miserable first half. Herrera was very poor too.

Mata and Carrick did ok. Young and RVP were our best players

 

[Minimalist]

Harsh on Southampton but feck it, onwards and upwards.

Better performance against Liverpool and let's establish a strong hold on a top four finish.

 

[charleysurf]

Great win, but poor yet again. Really getting some luck lately. Can't go on like this. Main problem is the defence. Just giving no confidence.
I'm already dreading the Liverpool game with that back 4. Smalling had been holding things together.

 

[Red Comet]

Shitty play, but 3 points. Mark of a great team and all that nonsense....

 

[VanGaalEra]

We've got 5 on it!!

Yes! 5 in a row, let's enjoy it tonight and worry about the performance and tactics etc for the rest of the week.

 

[Zoo]

That was so weird. It's hard to judge individual performances on that, apart from Young our best player and Mata who was completely anonymous.

 

[adamwest]

Absolutely filthy win and I absolutely love it!!!!

Took the words out of my mouth. Dirty, undeserved win... but it feels good

 

[MUFAN79]

I'm exhausted. Great win.

 

[Cutch]

Reminded me of a fergie type smash and grab

 

[Pexbo]

Huge three points.

Fingers crossed we can keep this momentum going now and hopefully bring Di Maria back into the fold against Liverpool and really hand them their arse.

 

[RetroStu]

You know i have been supporting us since the 1980's and this performance is very close to making the Top 10 worst performances i have ever seen, literally.

This match was just like the 2 Champs League finals against Barca except we were playing fecking Southampton here.

Too many cowards and bang average players STILL to shift from our squad.

 

[Ixion]

One of the worst performances in a long time. Awful.

Credit to Young and RVP.

 

[caid]

What a horror show.

We robbed them.

Van Persie robbed them

 

[ItsEssexRob]

Winning games despite playing like shit.

Reminds me of a certain other great manager.

Nothing like him, this was just pure shit gifted by 2 errors. Even more mind boggling is that you have actually strung together a longer run of wins than we have. With SAF you still had a degree of control, even in the poorer games you won.

 

[Sultan]

I only managed to catch the second half, but damn... that was painful

You've been fortunate not to see worst performance of the season.
