What a f**king goal that was. Given the timing and who scored it, goal of the season.

What drama, what a game, what a sport. There's nothing like it!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geez they're a heart attack team to follow sometimes, but 3 points is 3 points, however they're obtained. Hats off to the 17-year-old kid no-one had ever heard of apart from his mum. Not a bad way to make your debut.

The race is far from over - we've still got a game against a rejuvenated, Guus-inspired Chelsea on their dunghill, which could be the deciding game. And Liverpool are still in sh*t-hot form. Hopefully that win blows the mental cobwebs out. We have one big thing in our favour - it is still our title to lose. Liverpool still have to rely on us falling over. Thankfully our Champions League tie is an easy one (as far as Champions League ties go), but I personally would be more than happy to see the Quintuple fall by the wayside to wrap up the one that matters first and foremost - the League title.

edit: Look what Ronaldo can do when he stops being a knob trying to milk frees and starts playing football. If only he'd do it on a regular basis.

Nah, United played Chelsea way back earlier in the season at Stamford Bridge. It was 1-1.

Arsenal could be the one to decide the title as they travel to both Anfield and OT and are, along with Liverpool, the form side in the league.

If that was a month or two ago (and no disrespect to Villa) you'd think ManUre would never have looked like losing the match.

There is definitely something awry in the joint. Perhaps all this talk of a bloody quintuple has messed with the players' heads. I can see us celebrating a treble if the form doesn't turn around - Charity Shield, World Club Cup, and Carling Cup!

How bad is the defending atm? That's 10 goals conceded in the last 4 games!

And there's been some truly awful screw ups over that period. The 2 against Villa were poor, but the 2 last night were flat out awful defending. I think the fatc that United have barely, if at all, been able to put out their full strength back 4 is starting to take its toll. Evans is wilting under the pressure...

And its not only that but all the miss-placed passes as well. Even by Ronaldo. But the likes of Fletcher, Carrick and Scholes especially have been very poor lately...getting completely overrun in the midfield. I think United really need a Palacios or Lassana Diarra type. Or at the very least if fit Anderson should be getting a look in for the rest of the season...

Our defending is awful. The midfield is constantly being overrun. We can't deal with pressing defences, and always look vulnerable on the counter.

We really need to go out and buy someone who can boss the midfield, an Essien type player. Hopefully Anderson is fit soon because Scholes has been awful, it's like he can't handle being pressured anymore.

The midfield needs some youth. We like to think we're a youthful side but we have the oldest team in the champions league. The team looks flat and tired, it needs youthful energy.

If the current form continues i don't see anymore trophies this year. Finally, wtf is wrong with the crowd. :x The atmosphere was non-existant.

Watching Essien own Gerrard this morning was amazing. Essien is GODLY. We need a player like him in our side, it's our biggest weakness because we can't rely on Hargreaves being fit.
