Yeah, another game where we had more than 30 goal attempts. Jurgen Macho had the game of his life.

Yeah and Scholesy somehow managed to hit both post's in 1 shot!

That match was a throwback to the Fergie era. It had everything, excitment controversy, and the will to overcome and win in the end. I think our upturn has obviously been the new players especially Miki Ibra and Pogba. They are always looking to move the ball forwards, which some of the others still pass it sideways or backwards. Saying this, this is gradually improving as well. Yesterday was Martials best game by far. Im glad Mourinho went all out attack to get the win, but as soon as we were 2-1 up the intensity went. I know it was the end of the game and maybe some players were tired, but the way it went straight after the goal was an obvious tactic I wish Mourinho would lose. We should be looking for at least a 2 goal cushion imo before easing off.

Nah, I was jumping and pumping like the Incredible Hulk, another goal would have damaged all my clothing!

This is what we call football. We had taken off Smalling and were playing three at the back. Middlesboro were happy for a draw. The minute we score the second, the psychology of the match changes. Now Boro will attack trying to get a second goal.

We could be playing Barcelona or Boro, unless you are winning by about three goals, the other team will attack late on because they have nothing to lose.

What a great feeling and end to the year. Credit to Jose with his positive substitutions that made the difference. We are playing great football at the moment and is very exciting to watch. The January fixtures will give us a better idea of what target we will be aiming for. But it's all positive at the minute!

When Boro scored I thought it was just going to be one of those days, we deserved the win and the football this season has been the best in a long time.

First goal was scored at around 38 mins.
Unfortunately, we have no control over bent refs who are attempting to prevent us from scoring goals.

It took a while for the goals

Good vid of the Pogba goal celebrations and Herrera and Rojo leading the tactical reshuffle

It has happened before. I remember the year when SAF publicly crtisized one ref (I forget his name) as too fat to keep up with the play. After the brouhaha died down it seemed almost as if the refs had had a secret meeting and vowed to f**k up United at every turn. Every single referee gave biased decisions against us. I can't count the number of games we drew or lost because of horrible refereeing decisions that year. I think that was the year (but I may be mis-remembering) we lost the league to Chelsea when Drogba was waved on to score an offside goal against us at OT in one of the last games of the season.

Ref was Alan Wiley - who was far from being the worst ref against us at that time.
