Man Utd. (a) build up

[Redspin]

My only worry is that United can click at any time, albeit for 1 game. Mata worries me and it's important that we don't allow him space in that little pocket in front of our defence. But he's likely to be playing on the right.

Mata was ****ing abysmal he gave a truly shocking, anonymous performance. At 37 million Chelsea must be laughing their socks off. It's no wonder he can't get in the Spanish squad these days

[Redspin]

Got a feeling we are going to be disappointed. Utd have nothing to lose and we've added pressure to the game. Only saving grace is Chelsea lost

Dear God

Dear God

Sarb's a right crack up hey!

As I was saying - it was the banker of the weekend. I'm buggered that I'm not in the UK at the moment as I would have had a very serious bet on it.

I can't believe all the whingeing fannies on here who thought we might lose. Just looking at the basics, we are a very good team and Man Utd are a very, very average team, so a win was always very, very likely. A few weeks ago it was obvious that Southampton away was our hardest fixture and we won that comfortably enough.

Man Utd are by quite a distance inferior to Southampton so I can't believe the level of pessimism on here.

Today's game was a stroll in he park and we didn't even need to get out of second gear to win in a canter

Ha ha, that's the only slight negative for me. Having lost thousands on us over the years, I can't even take advantage now and win some of it back as I don't gamble.

Thought the 5/2 from Bet 365 that we'd be ahead by h/t was giving money away, considering the way we normally start games.

The derby is never, ever a cert. Even in our pomp, when united were ****ter than they were now it was an awful place to get a result. Makes it sweeter when we do.

[RedReet]

True, but potentially that was as easy as it was ever likely to get for us and it turned out even easier than expected.

[Pablo]

Objectively we could not lose this game if we played anything like we can, but it's natural for a lot of football supporters, especially Reds who've taken so many knocks, to be worried or negative. I was ****ting it before and it was completely irrational but that's the way it is.

I get why you were worried. I've been supremely confident all season though and I was confident before this one too. Very confident.

The main games that worry me now are the City and Chelsea games. I actually fancy us against City this time, they look leggy. Chelsea though are just so sneaky and crafty. I think that's where things might come unstuck.

The game went like clockwork. Exactly to plan, and to form. So no surprise...

But, this was United's moment to forget a dreadful season and to put a massive downer on us. You expect them to give everything, to fight for every ball. There was none of that, and that is the miracle of Moyes. He's a disaster for them.

Whinging fannies.

People are cautious, nothing wrong with that.

I'm sure you wouldn't have found that as funny if I'd written it. Ah well. Enjoy your day.

Its really really easy to say after the game that you didn't think we could ever lose.

But its football, a game that has as much chance of ****ing you up as any. Its pretty condescending to talk like that to other fans who want to exercise some caution when it comes to expressing hubris.

Other great bets I would have taken were Liverpool/Liverpool and Suarez to score at any time (the latter was probably lousy odds though).

I probably would have tossed a tenner at Vidic to get a red card too.

Never mind, back in the UK in less than three weeks so can hit the bookies then

I think you'll find that I confidently predicted we'd win by three before the game, which I believe is actually the opposite of hindsight.

It's not hubris either. It's just confidence based on what I can see with my own eyes.

Honestly, some times before games I read the prediction threads on here and half the posters seem to be in a mind to reach for the razor blades before a ball's been kicked

[Alex]

Well in my mind saying confidently that we will beat any team 3-0 is showing an amount of Hubris. Let alone it being Man Utd. No matter how poor they are.
