But then you could argue that goal difference is a more overall look at the performance over a season, not just a game here or there.
Anyway, United played horribly tonight - ridiculously sloppy, couldn't counter and gave the ball away way too easily.

Thanks...that was hilarious during the match.
It's weird to me about Park because he was so clutch last season...Arsenal games come to mind. But Giggs over Valencia today I will never get.
Vidic, Fletcher, Evans & Anderson were on the bench?
Baffled me that they both started, and again that Scholes came off and Giggs stayed on.
Haha! I currently only iPad and I don't have an app for that! If I do it in the morning I'll PM you the post!
Huh?
Fletcher, Anderson.
Allegri.
Aren't they in debt?
Didn't they spend like 60m on De G, Jones & Young last summer? Thats no Arsenal.
And City are barely going to win the league on goal difference............
Bit of both, and buying players in positions which don't really need improving. Our midfields been poor for the past 3/4 seasons and we haven't fixed that yet. Don't think money is a big problem, it's just Fergie doesn't want to spend big on a player, last time we did was buying berba for £30m

I think it's funny to suggest that a lot of United's injuries were out of their hands. Looking at their injury list it's almost Spurs-tier.
And if your team has a lot of injuries maybe you should, you know, actually use the January transfer window as something other than a chance to talk shite all month.

Yes. He needs a fair crack of the whip.
It was his buy out clause.
Yup. They have to keep RVP. But you all know my feelings on that one.
Should have left him to get relegated at Blackburn tbh.
Wait until next season, Then you'll see.
Sure United did well in some games when they were missing a significant amount of players, but just because sometimes they manage to get the job done doesn't mean you can hold it against them for every other game they dropped points due to missing half there first choice team.
If there's anything to be learnt from this season, it's that we either need to give our youngsters a major shot at first team action by getting rid of the older players (just like when we sold Ince, Hughes and Kanchelski) or we need to seriously bolster our midfield with new signings.
As if being humiliated by Barca two seasons in a row isn't a strong enough sign.

Would have fit in with Liverpool very well.
Chelsea signed this Marin fella? Looks better than malouda
Yeah he looks great.
It was so awesome when it happened. I think Fergie may have been trying to fire his team up.

At what point in the game did that happen...?
When the Glazers bought out United, they piled on £600m n debt. I think that the debt currently stands at about £400m. The Glazers have been generally good owners in terms of not interfering with the inner-workings of the club, but the massive annual interest payments have no doubt hurt the club. They seem to be giving Fergie just enough money to get by each season, with a marquee signing every few years or so.
Even if the debt wasn't there, Fergie wouldn't be going out and spending hundreds of millions like Real Madrid, City, Dalglish etc. It's just not in the DNA of the club and there's no point trying to compete with Chelsea and City. United really have been hamstrung for the last few years because of the debt , but as the debt is reduced and the repayments are reduced, the financial situation should improve a lot,
Fuck leveraged buyouts and fuck the PL, FA, FIFA and UEFA for even letting that shit happen.
Specifically they were robbed as Kompany should have been sent off and Hart was faking an injury at the end to time waste.
Ah I see we got our customary Doicare appearance post game.
My facebook exploded with people saying united were robbed by the ref.
Your facebook is filled with stupid people.

doicare, your top 5 video game of all time.
GO!
GO!
So spend over the odds in January trying to get world class players (good luck with that) only to then end up with a squad that's way to big in the summer when the other players come back from injury and then they'd have to sell off a whole bunch of players to compensate, good plan
Kompany sent off? The yellow card was bullshit as is. Hart's potential "time wasting" at the end was absolutely inconsequential anyway. The match was over once he was fouled at all since he was going to get to kick it downfield anyway and United wouldn't have had an opportunity to mount another attack -- the time just ran past 5 minutes instead of ending there.
