Barclays Premier League 2014/15

Bingo!

Even the way Barnes gets up and walks away after the challenge gives the impression he knows what he's done and could be in trouble. Had he been correctly booked earlier, the whole situation could have possibly been avoided, or seen him pick up a second booking. When there has been ex-officials and players coming out and saying Atkinson got it clearly wrong (along with the other 3 key decisions) it certainly highlights the incident more and how incredibly lucky Barnes was to get away without any reprimand whatsoever.

Edit: spelling.

Looking average here against Sunderland.

United are shite. They'll still win but they're shite

John O'Shea the bastard!!

Getting a bit better after the fans started to turn. I've found myself saying this shockingly often this season but Young has been our best player by far.

Yeah he's actually looked the most likely to make something happen.

Di Maria has been shite, I'd take him off and bring on Januzaj.

Oh and Wilson for Falcao who I doubt has even touched the ball more than five times.

Agree with you, Di Maria and Falcao both awful today. Falcao has gotten worse.

Wilson on please.

Yeah Di Maria has been muck. Our movement has been pretty poor up front and just leads to us passing it around outside their box for ages and ultimately getting nowhere. Falcao has been doing plenty of running but not really getting the service, though to be honest the couple of times he has actually got the ball he has usually just ran into the nearest defender anyway.

Wahey Di Maria off for Januzaj

Find it strange how little criticism Di Maria is getting from the papers. But that's what playing for United gets you I suppose.

Sent the wrong player off there like

Now that was pure magic from Falcao.

Terrific penalty that.

That was about as perfect a penalty as there is

Game over.

There we are, 2-0, should be 3 points now.

Januzaj is a joy to watch when he has his confidence up. As soon as he came on for Di Maria we looked infinitely more dangerous

Fuck me we won a home game.

That's all I know given I missed the game.

DOUBLE

Didn't player very well, Villa were pretty bad as well. That's my review of the game.

Tactics Tim, and his 0% win rate.

Also some Sunderland fans are arguing that Newcastle are still in danger of going down. Fucking hell.

Theoretically we are but unless we contrive to lose every single game from now until May we won't. And even then I can't see certain teams down there making up the game between us and them right now.

It does sound like the kinda of game that makes you wonder if the new TV deal is an elaborate con pulled by the league to rack up the moolah.

That is mental. From Hull down it is.

Wouldn't like to pick who'll go down though, tough one to call. Leicester will go I think but that's the only one I'd be confident of putting money on.

442 like that with a poacher and a runner and two shit but fast wingers is best left in the 1980s.

Hope we don't start playing like that all the time.

Cisse though

Pellegrini with another daft selection. Hopefully it works out better for us today than it did on Tuesday.

Have some of that! What a goal

What a goal!

Great finish that.

Great start.

Watching Kompany nowadays is not a lot different to seeing Mertasacker pretend to be a footballer.
