United has been gifted a cup run

After the bloodbath this morning, I'll take that 0-0

EDIT: just saw highlights of Bradford City scoring 3 late goals right in front of their traveling fans. That must have been so much fun.

Mourinho probably wanted to rage quit after that Bradford City match.

Re: The 2014-15 EPL Discussion Thread

Tactics aside, which I think LVG is overcomplicating, I really have no idea why Herrera doesn't start more. Carrick and Herrera is a very good combo in midfield and I'd rather drop Mata so that Herrera plays in the middle and Rooney plays up top with RvP/Falcao, Di Maria right behind them, if LvG persists with playing two strikers. Our chance creation has been so poor for about 10 matches now and yet the focus is on "Falcao can't score." Can't score when delivery is ****.

Just like in the league, here we go with all the "United are lucky so and so has been crap that they're in a good position" statements. Just about the most bull**** reasoning any person can use to discredit any (potential) success, and a huge insult to the lower league clubs who rightfully earned their results.

Wait, are you really trying to argue that Liverpool/Arsenal/Spurs/Everton abysmal form in the first half of the season has nothing to do with your current league position?

Re: The 2014-15 EPL Discussion Thread

Herrera just started playing well. Even when he was healthy he was pretty poor getting pulled at the break a couple of times. Fellani was actually playing fairly well before his latest injury but like Bravo said, United is benefiting from poor 1st halves by the usual 3rd/4th place challengers. Even Everton has been pretty poor considering their form last year.
Nothing wrong with admitting that IMO. Hell I'd love for Citeh to tank and we run away with the league by default.

Hell with Ferandihno and Fernando looking like derp twins in midfield, y'all just might. Matic and Cesc are gonna have a field day with those two if they play like they have the past few weeks since Yaya went to Africa. Plus you add Jesus being afraid of crosses and you have a recipe for a Chelsea romp next weekend.

Couldn't help laughing at this remark. Not from a football standpoint either.

Honestly just happy Frank didn't score again. We conceded a pretty silly goal but whatever, still 5 points ahead.

So-so match, from a neutral viewpoint. I'm pretty sure Lampard did not want to leave a mark on that match.

NBC post-match breakdown of QPR/Redknapp, live in Glendale Arizona, with some sort of Super Bowl concert going on behind them. Bizarre juxtaposition.

Re: The 2014-15 EPL Discussion Thread

I thought it was a pretty entertaining match, and a draw was probably a fair result. If Lampard had scored another winner vs. Chelsea, though, he might grabbed a drill and made a hole in the pitch for him to hide.
