It's unbelievable!

We managed to beat Leeds and Chelsea away in some style but failed at home to Bolton, Westham and Middlesborogh.

but nevertheless we should simply enjoy the fantastic attacking play of our team! :D

Now for a Leverkusen trashing on wednesday!

And Blanc better sign a new contract before I fly to Manchester with a gun... That sort of class should not be allowed to retire.</strong><hr></blockquote>

One of the best moment from the game was when Blanc easily powered the ball off JF-H in the United box in the 2nd half. Class defending...

With Pool winning today they go top and prob ARSEnal will take the points on sunday but all in all we are still in the title hunt when most thought this would be the end of it. Lets hope for a similiar result against the Germans who apparently were looking ahead as they lost today in the Bundesleague. I will take a 3-0 advantage back to Germany although i would like 5-0 much better <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" /> :cool: </strong><hr></blockquote>

I wouldn't say Leverkusen were looking too much forward... They're looking for a first German title so they're not very likely to let their minds drift from that.
 
Men of the Match:

Barthez, Gary, Wes, Larry, Micky, Scholes, Butt, Giggsy, Ole & Ruud. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

This run since December has been absolutely incredible ! :cool: Roll on Bayer ! :D

Let's hope he gets his 100th (and 102 too if possible) on Wednesday. :cool:

Chelsea were thrown off the train at Cabramatta. RVN worked very hard, even took them on on the left wing at times. Wes looked solid. Mickey showed loads of attacking skill. Larry was Larry (calm & correctly positioned). Scholes deadly. Butt strong. OGS right in their face. Gazza... some good throw-ins, but didn't see much of him.
 
Lads ,I hate to burst the bubble ,however,I do believe we have given up the ghost in regards to the Premiership;however I belive that Manchester United will win the European Cup.I am a believer,because I believe this German team have a weak spine,they dont have the same experience that we do,they dont have the same players that we do.This is an emenently winnable tie,and once we have the boy Keane back for the final,there will be only one out come.Yes Boy!!!!!!! :D :) :D :cool: :D

That means then that both he and Ryan are up for their 100th.


Incidentally :D Ole's scoring ratio this year is 1 goal every 101 minutes. But he let us down badly this year - by being injured for the Boro game. :(

I know it's always a bit of a pain when we don't have the ball as much as we like but it's what you do with it that counts. Chelsea did bugger all with it :D even though they had loads of possession. We got it and scored. That was probably the best team performance I've seen for a while. All the lads looked class. In the end it was a piss take and that's against a team in the top six who always do well against us. Oh for a few more points from early season. But what the hell, isn't it great to be a red? Three great goals, three more points, pure poetry.
:cool:

Didn't Ryan have about 60 at the start of the season ? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
