Yeah I was there. We played alright for 70 minutes, then we thought we might actually nick it and buggered it up. At that point in the tie, you either go for it or you defend. We should have defended but the players were in two minds and we made two mistakes. It's a shame, when you try to play that way you have to make it count otherwise it just looks like we changed our style so we didn't get pumped. When it reality, for once, Arsene got his tactics spot on.

Fucking hell mate that is bloody horrible. Although I don't know you personally from the way you've conducted yourself on here you're a brave bloke. I'm absolutely gutted for you mate, really I am. I don't want to speak like it's the end but I hope you find comfort and enjoy the time you have left. Stay strong fella. :'( This is the worst news this thread has and will ever see.

We've not played convincingly for a long time. And we always struggle at Old Trafford. If we win it'll be close.

Now I don't wish injury upon anyone but if De Gea was to miss the match on the 28th I won't be complaining.

Really good show guys. About time NE had some more modern content.

A lot of their so called easy games are teams that will be scrapping for survival. It could get interesting.

I don't want to descredit your performance too much but you got what you deserved. Very soft penalty, would even say Vardy dived. Mahrez then has a tumble second half. Simpon's red, very harsh but he made several fouls before picking up the first card. Foul on Ozil before then penalty completely ignored. Constant time wasting. And this horror show from Drinkwater going completely un-noticed and unpunished.

Cant fault Sunderland, he said he was innocent to begin with and they stuck by him on the principle of innocent until proven guilty. As Bob said.

Luckily my other half has plans or Sky moving the game would have landed me in a spot of bother.

Next weekend is going to be huge. Fair play to Leicester they are having an exceptional season, but I hope we ruin it for them.

We could pray for a miracle.

However two of those squads have experience of playing lots of games and being in the hunt for honours. Not to discredit Leicester because you guys are living the dream and sticking it to the big boys narrative. I think your test will be your next three games, just like our last three has put us in our place.

I was on the wind up. And yes it was a very well taken goal and he's playing well for his first year in the league. But lets not get carried away with him becoming World Class. The country has an obsession with putting labels and the pressure that comes with them on young kids. Give him 5 years, lets see where he is and what he's done then.

https://vine.co/v/iiqUWzrzHT0 Mertesacker not even looking when he makes the tackle. It's a complete and utter fuck up.

Not sure there's contact seeing the replay. But during the game I thought the ref got it right. Mertesacker is a dopey cunt for even attempting the challenge. Let Costa go through and hope Cech can deal with it if not we've got 11v11 and 70 minutes to try and get it back. The captain should know better, but this is a man who gave the gutless Walcott the captains armband for the day because he's been at the club 10 years. I hope this is our blip over. We've got to chase now.

Whilst it wouldn't make the best financial sense. Nintendo would probably be better off waiting a few more years for the Xbox One and PS4 to age and then throw out a machine with higher specs. Instead of trying to play catch up for the second time. People can pipe on about software winning you generations and selling units. But it's new hardware and advances in technology that drives software and developers forward. Nintendo dropped a bollock with the Wii specs and have paid for it since. (Yes I'm fully aware they made a huge amount of money on the Wii, but where are those fans now?)

The worrying thing for Villa is they need three teams to be worse than them whilst coming good themselves. I just don't see them winning enough games. I'm nervous about our match tomorrow. We need 3 points and our record against Chelsea over the passed 10 years has been shit. I'm wary of the league table disguising their quality and the fact they'll rise to the challenge.

The new Andros Townsend. Remember when that lad won England the World Cup?!

Looks like we need to beat Chelsea on Sunday to reach my minimum target. Bit disappointed but we're still top. Just.

And the miss was Gervinho against Bradford.

Fucking hell. That was a roller coaster. Gutted to draw but it was probably fair. Need to beat Stoke on Sunday.

Blade you should be proud mate. Your boys put in one hell of a shift. Didn't deserve to lose that. I only saw the second half by the time I got home from our match. United should be ashamed of themselves. They've not scored a single first half goal in 10 games!

Let's hope so. That tie couldn't have gone better for us. Liverpool losing players before we play them. Stoke needing to win a few days after we've played them. So maybe they'll have one eye on that. Add in City struggling tonight means they'll need to put in a shift in the second leg. Hopefully detracting from league form (wishful thinking). We really need a good month Liverpool (A), Stoke (A), Chelsea (A). We come out of that with 6 points I'll be happy. I could settle with 5.

He's been shit for about two years. It's just every now and then he comes up with some skill or trick and everyone thinks he's amazing. Really needs to focus on end product.

Sorry Geordies, not sure we deserved that win. You created more clear cut chances than we did, you just need someone to stick them away.
