Taz,

I will concede that I am somewhat anxious about playing Valencia tonight. I expect we shall scrape through with a draw. Even if we were to lose, you can bet that we will dispatch the Turks and Rangers in short order in our next games.

We may finish second in the group but that will be enough.

By the time we get to the next round, our players will be clicking like clockwork. Same thing in the league. Wait till Rooney gets his act together and Hernandez adjusts to the EPL!

@Mwanahisa,
Erecting blockboards infront of goal is a far much cheaper and easy way of defending than packing 9 infront of Guka Sar.....and hey Rangers won too.

I hate to quote myself, but on this one I can't resist. Did you see that move from Nani -> Macheda -> Hernandez [Chicharito]. The first touch and the strike that followed from Chicharito were just fabulous! I really feel for Michael Owen. This young chaps will not give him any breathing space and he had better start looking for another club. Given that the likes of Danny Welbeck are on loan and I see bebe breaking into the first team in less than two seasons, things can only get worse for him.

Back to yesterday's game. Granted, the game was very cagey especially in the first half but in the second half it opened up. Our defence has started tightening up and that's good news. Those guys who were talking about 11 unbeaten home games in the CL, leaders in the Spanish League etc. etc. committed one cardinal sin. They forgot they were talking about Man - U!

Now lets wait for the weekend. I hope I'll resist the urge to quote myself this time round. LOL.

Miachblak....I watched the entire 90 min of that match, thats why i'm of the opinion it was a lucky escape....they won a crucial tie last night but there was nothing impressive about their play in the game. That was quite an average team SAF fielded last night...i know at times I've been proven wrong but i have to say several EPL teams would tear you to pieces if you use the same team. Carrick & Anderson are just not good enough!

TAZ,
Yu watch your own game dude!!!!
After showering the valencia team now you claim that the united team that beat them can teared to pieces by many EPL teams....what hypocricy!!!!!

TAZ, TAZ, TAZ! Please make up your mind. You are confusing some of us.

This weekend its a no-brainer. Aseno beating Chelsea is simply NOT an option. The best result the arses can hope for is an unlikely lucky draw.

as a man u fan, the best outcome in the Chelsea-Arsenal game would be arsenal wins........Arsenal is more likely to lose in future than Chelsea!!

I think Man Utd fans can't handle it when their team is being criticized. Kwani you expect me to switch off my TV or change Channel whenever Man Utd play? When Arsenal lost to West Brom all the Man U fans i know either called me, sent me a text, Commented something on Facebook/Wazua....Try saying anything about Man Utd!!!! Their common phrase is "YOU GUYS KEEPING TALKING ABOUT MAN UTD MORE THAN YOUR OWN TEAM".

@ Mwenza....The Chelsea game on sunday, i do hope we win even though it will be a tough encounter.

The arseno - chelski game is one of those games in wchich I will celebrate whatever the outcome!!!!......draw perfecto otherwise, I wil just laugh at the losers!!!!
