Reading Vs Man U
Wow! ive never seen a start to a game like that before! 3-0 to United in the first 5 minutes!!
Saha's goal was brilliant strike, and Solskjaers finish was top draw!

Shambolic 2nd half display. I suppose it was a bit like a Greyhound Race, United trapped well, and reading came back but couldn't quite get there.. Theres a warped theory for you!
other than the first 20 minutes not a good showing at all. Other teams (including Liverpool) will have been watching that.

Well, what a match! I thought we were gonna have a dicey game anyway, as our second string is never that effective. But to go three up within 6 minutes was astonishing, has there ever been a quicker set of goals than that?
I'd say though, that from when Saha missed the 4th, things turned against us, and we were lucky to avoid extra time. And bringing Ron & Roon on just shows the respect that Fergie had for Reading and the way they were performing in the later stages of the game.
Still, looking forward to the Liverpool game this weekend. I think I'll say that if we win our next three games, we should be home and dry, with a nice points buffer to play with...

"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
I think they got very lucky in the end. I really don't know whats happened to Heinze the reliable tough tackler.....last night he was awful. Couldn't tackle, kept diving in, and worst of all couldn't clear it more than 10 yards or sideways into his own box! Shocking!

Nah, you'll lose at Anfield and at Stamford Bridge and it'll go down to the last game.........hopefully , am having flashbacks to Utd not beating West Ham and losing title to Blackburn all over again
