I thought it was a very poor performance but in the context of a league game it would have been another 3 points.

Ahhh, blinded over the other match I see. :lol:

A draw over 210 minutes in two matches against relegation fodder. This tyhe level that Utd are playing at.

(yes, it was a second string, I know - a 2nd string of half the first team).

Your right Mata isn't the answer on his own, however I think his signing will give the other players a boost, like the ozil one did at arsenal, despite many thinking he wasn't a priority. I would have thought man u would buy again this window, but with the lack of availability it may be 6 months too late.

A very good and improving team team have got a very minor boost via a major signing.

A very poor and not improving team will get a massive boost via a major signing? I think not. :)

I thought they did okay, Sunderland had one weak shot all game.

I didn't watch the match, but was reading a number of comments in different places by those who were.

And I didn't see any comment by a Utd fan which was as blinkered as your own take on the game.

The general agreement was that while Utd were the better team, they defo didn't do 'OK'.

They have both played together 8 times this season.

6 wins 2 draws

Next?

and the quality of the performances? Still shite.

(BTW, I've watched more Utd [and Arsenal] games than I have liverpool games this season, which I guess makes me the world's oddest Liverpool fan?)

Utd will win some games. Against the weaker sides they'll bang in a few goals with top strikers such as Rooney and RVP.

What they have on the pitch has not been good at all tho. If you've not noticed that you need to retune your TV to a channel that's not re-running matches from last season.

It's all part of Moyes cunning plan.

By making them look so pathetic and wretched, they let better clubs like Chelsea sell their good players to them, thinking that they won't be a threat. And then, they turn around and get the good results in.

Also, they meant to lose last night, so that they don't have to go to a pointless cup final. Ok, Moyes was excited about havign a team play in Wembley, but still. I imagine they'll concede in the Champions League shortly for the same reason.

I reckon Moyes is a BlueNose "Once a blue, always a blue" and has decided it's time one of the other big clubs experiences a Peter Johnson scenario.

It's part of a seret plan years in the making - next up Rooney fails to find any form at all, revealing his true colours and they get relegated, twice and join League One with Tranmere Rovers.

/me touches blue nose

''A drunk Manchester United fan dialled 999 and demanded to speak to Sir Alex Ferguson after the Reds' defeat last night. Police received the bizarre and amusing call at 10.30pm on Wednesday from a man in Crumpsall, north Manchester. Moments earlier, United were dumped out of the league cup in dramatic fashion by Sunderland, who won 2-1 on penalties after extra time. The distressed supporter demanded to speak to former Reds' boss Sir Alex to discuss the result.

'Greater Manchester Police released a statement on their GMP Manchester North Facebook page on Thursday morning which read: "Last night, at approximately 10.30pm a man from the Crumpsall area of north Manchester rang 999 in a drunken state demanding to speak to Sir Alex Ferguson about last night's result.

'"Obviously, it can be a sad and depressing moment when you're football team loses a game, however can we all please remember that 999 is to be used for emergencies only. For any other police related enquiries that are not an emergency, you can ring 101. If you would like to speak to Sir Alex about recent football results we here at GMP Manchester North can only suggest you try ringing Manchester United FC directly as you will probably (not definitely) have a much better chance of getting through to him there rather than ringing the police." - Manchester Evening News.'

      I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over.

      Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.

      Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
