I probably didn't watch him as much as you did last season, but I remember him having several average games last season. But he's really come onto his own this season. Been just brilliant. Completely destroyed Liverpool at Old Trafford, with his passing into the space between midfield and defense. Tore us apart.
 
Agree Abhi, still can't believe he gets overlooked for England i think he's been a great signing, Antred i think its best you stop posting as its just looking to wind up some people so let it go mate its for the best.:TU: Great news with the contracts though was Suprised Wes signed but delighted he is a United player through and through!:DANCE:
 
I think Sir Alex saw the huge potential in Carrick when he was at Spurs.We did not have a player like him before and thats why we got him.His first season was good enough,he was integral to our midfield.This season,he has came out,justifying his potential.We all thought Hargreaves would be in pecking order ahead of Carrick but that did not happen.Who ever gets pick,does the job and Carrick does his job,particularly well at most games.Delighted that Rio and Brown has been tied down with long term deals now.Miguel Veloso and Joao Moutinho next? :)

Yup, same here. Him and Barry are the 2 English midfielders, who are actually suited to International football IMO. Both Lampard and Gerrard are one-paced, and thus can't play in midfield. Carrick certainly deserves a place in midfield.

I can't remember using money as an excuse at all. We're 4th, because there are 2, arguable 3 better teams than us.

And just like fees of Carrick, Nani are inflated, the fees of Xabi, Babel are also inflated depending on the performance.

And this doesn't mean anything AT ALL. You decided to post some stats, and I did as well. At the moment, United are a better team than Liverpool, simple as that.

Though I would rather play Hargreaves and Gerrard :DD
 
Or Carrick and Gerrard.
I think either one of those two combinations would work well.
 
trying our best to fuck it up. Only just managed to get a stream and it's shit. You can see Rooney getting a red card the way he's going. We need a bit more energy in the middle.
 
Rooney has got be careful. Could have already got sent off. The dive was comical.

What happened to 'contempt' against the referee though?
 
TEVEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can LOSE against Chelsea and still stay top. Also, they have to go to Newcastle who have hit form.

We were shite today, VERY happy with the point. :)

Also, just read this over at BBC website:

"Before the Arsenal game, Fergie said if we win the next three games we would be champions. When Chelsea dropped two points against Wigan, that no longer applied, so if we beat Chelsea next week, we win the league. Nothing changes."

:applause:

Potential champions can play badly yet still get something from the game. Yet again we've done that.

COME ON UNITED!

Chelsea won't win anyways....

Ref was crap. Poor decisions for both sides.
 
Deserved point, just for the timewasting blackburn did in 2nd half...plus the great 'save' by the defender towarsd the end. Didn't deserve to win though .Sam eposition as if Chelsea hadn't dropped point against Wigan Ig uess..
 
If we draw with Chelsea we need one win against either West Ham or Wigan. Don't count your chickens though because Chelsea will win their last two games.

Agreed mate - Rooney should of been sent off. Dunno what he was thinking. Fergie better have a word with him...
 
I agree mate, pressure is ALL on Chelsea now. We have enjoyed playing away this season when the opponents have been expected to score a goal or two. Roma anyone?
 
nicely done in the end... Tevez did his stuff... always putting pressure you guys but amazing goalkeeping by Friedel!!
 
Good result today, we were poor today Rooney could easily have got sent off, credit to Blackburn they restricted us quite alot, i thought we missed Anderson in the middle he adds that urgency which we needed today. still with Chelsea dropping points its leveled itself out. Barca on Wednesday is the one to wait on know its gonna be HUGE for us. :) COME ON UNITED!
 
Agreed that we were quite poor.Bad referee decisions and a blinder of a game by Friedel also stunned us.Huge relief with that goal from Tevez...looks like one of those game where it just wont go in.Was hoping something like Ronaldo's mazy run and goal from last season at Fulham,instead,he hit the post.Still a huge point like many said here but we should not discount our last two games excluding Chelsea.We lost to West Ham away and Wigan held Chelsea at home.That should throw caution to the win.Bring on Barca...C'MON UNITED!!!
 
well done , brilliant game for the neutral, dont get this we were poor thing, maybe a little in the first half but the second was a hundred miles an hour, fridel was awesome as always, you could have hit 5 or 6 but for him, a brilliant point and looks like its all but over coz no one will beat you now.
 
Was thinking today we are in more of a pickle then i thought.:( Barca on Wednesday is obviously(IMO and i think SAF's) the biggest game of the season, yet then we have another HUGE game on Saturday which is vital yet i think we will probably expect us to rest most of our players for the game on Tuesday. Which would mean we will probably look to hold onto the point yet if Chelsea win then its game on and as Phrase said before we face West Ham a bogey team and a resilient Wigan on a dodgy pitch and then we have to play Barcalona at home and (im pretty sure) will go into that game needing to win so its a tough week for us, Fergie's gonna have to gamble somewhere? does he rest a few in the Chelsea game or does he hope for the best like last year where a fresher Milan trounced us :(if im honest i can see us losing one of the 2 now :(

As good as Ronaldo is, sometimes the pressure still gets to him but its times like this when Rooney and Scholes show their true colours. I'm not scared one bit to be honest. I'm just excited when our team gets tested like this. Especially when some of the fringe players put on a performance during those games where players are rest.

We could use our best team against Barca and hope O'Shea and Fletcher take care of Chelsea. :lol:
