He did. I know what I saw. It wasn't a long way away from him and it wasn't going like a rocket either. He anticipated it going wide and it didn't.

What the commentators and analysts were saying was irrelevant. I'm sure they were all too busy sticking their tongues up Pogba's ****hole to pay attention to what actually happened.

Those types of goals are so frustrating because they're the easiest of chances of the lot to take and defend against. Like so often with us, we tend to do the hard work well, only to let ourselves down on occasions with soft easy goals. Used to it now.

Well chuffed with the point and the support was terrific all game long.

Stand outs for me were Ogbonna and Kouyate. They put their all into it yesterday.
Obiang with yet another good performance but Noble, sadly not so good.

Only sour point of the day for me were a few fans around me ripping into Sakho when he went to ground prior to be subbed ("Get up you lazy ****" etc), despite him gesturing straight away he needed to come off the moment he lost the ball.

Totally agree.
All the effort put in and we were cut open so easily for that goal.

That central spot where Collins lost it for the goal is where Reid would have been had he not got the Hollywood Mike Dean treatment last week. 2 penalties and a red is just a standard day at the office for him. Unfortunately it's come back to bite us in the b*llocks a week later.

Sorry but that's utter rubbish. He turned wincing hoping it went wide or hit the post. He may have even tried to make himself small incase it came back off the post. Definitely didn't decide not to save it. A lot of people watch replays thinking that they're real time when they rarely are. He didn't have a chance with the header. As I said though, could have possibly came out, attempted to punch and took out Ibra before he headed the ball

I believe the Club coaches got to Stratford about 1.20. Without a stop. (Official stop!)

Thats about a 6 1/2 hour journey. :shock:

Ha. I'd say it's more like blind love for our other keeper than an opinion :wink:

I don't care who we play in goal if they play well, which Randolph did.

If we felt cheated about the pen that never was, a few Man Utd fans on Twitter felt cheated over Pogba's dive, saying he was 'simply trying to avoid being seriously injured" by Noble's nasty kick out, who should have been red carded.

Beautiful. :thup:

Lead cheerleader was one Andy Goldstein of TalkSport. His tweets were laughable.

Embarrassing blatant dive all day long. Moss (for once) called it absolutely spot on and to top it off by sending off Mourinho for launching bottles into row z because Moss didn't agree with allowing his side to cheat. It was indefensible what Pogba did.l and I'd be embarrassed if one of our players did that.

I make you right on this.. i would of said he was definitely one of our stand out players yesterday and those who are slating him are shameful .. feels like anyone in our team makes a mistake nowadays is being crucified on here.

Ogbonna and Kouyate both made goal saving clearances and Randolph made some fine saves too. We rode our luck perhaps but thought we deserved the draw. FWIW I thought that was a stonewall penalty and were ith the other way round, I am sure it would have been given.
A point up there is never to be sniffed at, still think we'll do them in the cup.

I love him but feel he doesnt have much left to offer at this level. We should be starting to lay the foundations with him and put him through his badges and get him working with the likes of Oxford, Burke. And the young defenders clisely.
Collins was at fault but if you watch the replay Noble sits off Pogba 10yds while pointing around, giving him all the time in the world 40yds from our goal to look up & make the pass.

Without wanting to turn this into yet another Noble bitch-fest. That's my biggest issue with him. I love the bloke and even the crappy tackling I can ignore, Scholes did that stuff and he was a hero. But it's the constant standing around pointing. It's almost as if he has two personas, one that can run around and get stuck in, the other is one who stands and points. He can't read the game without standing around in the centre of the park.

The other side of the coin is that Collins was definitely at fault for allowing Ibrahimovic with a completely free header with all the time in the world. They showed a replay on Sunday on the channel I was watching and Collins just stops to scratch his head as Pogba plays the ball. In that split second, Zlatan was 2-3 strides behind him and Collins was nowhere.

Also whilst I acknowledge Randolph had a great game, I still can't phathom why he pulled his arm away from the ball as it dropped in to the goal.
