You really should shut up.

3 penaltys not given for us.
There penalty was very very soft.
got in the way atleast 3 times.

agree with the getting in the way, Basel were playing with 12 men sometimes
3 penaltys though?
If the peno would have been soft why did nobody, most importantly Valencia, protest?

Ref's positioning was beyond awful but the reffing was alright.

Thankful he came on to squander a point, but I think Ferguson will be regretful in thinking he didn't need Berbatov to start tonight.

Is Berbatov faultless in your eyes? Even if the ball was on the line, no movement on it, no pressure on Berbatov, and he missed, what would your excuse be?

Great away support from Basel, outsung the United supporters all game tbh.

Home fans are shit. Away are class. Everyone knows this.

Tbh, all Berbatov did was a half decent control when he was offside, and smash the ball into the side netting.

My friends, please consider the inexperience of a number of players in this competition such as De Gea, Jones, Young and Welbeck. They will have learnt much from tonight, and as I said, the baffling decision was to leave out Berbatov tonight. With him I would assume a 3 goal winning margin. Welbeck isn't ready to lead the line on his own.

Yet he scored twice.

2 more than Berbatov would have done.

Half as many as Berbatov has scored in Europe for us.

3-3 well done Basel

I know that but tbh the away fans should be singing at OT as well and there were only like 1000 Basel supporters.

There were atleast 2 pens for united, When the basel player pushed young over from the back and the hand ball from giggs' freekick.

And that was the wrong decision if he was good he would of cut it across the goal for nani.

My friend, do not blame the fallen apart team by this stage on Berbatov.

Had Berbatov started, the team would have kept possession much better and cruised to victory in the second half.

You really are stupid aren't you ? those players you named where probably our best players.

So if welbeck isn't ready to lead the line on his own, that doesn't say much for Berbatov, your basicly saying berbatov isn't ready to make a first team appearence for united ?

Super says Rio should retire, and we're the ones who know nothing.

They got a whole lot more than 1000.

(My post in the other thread) We were awful at defending tonight, which is a first. Was more down to our wing backs, just didn't defend, out of position which cost us the second goal and which gave away the penalty. It was a huge disappointment as defensively we are usually miles better.

Attack was good first half, even though we did look poor. Welbeck took his chances well but those 2 goals will be overshadowed by our shit performance, sadly for him. Second half, we just didn't get going at all, sloppy football, didn't look interested and created very little until the end, when we scored.

Park, in my opinion, was a waste of a sub, over hitting passes and unsuccessful passes. Maybe I'm being harsh on him as most of the other players weren't great.

Youngs finish for the goal was good, great cross from Nani.

I usually hate blaming the referee but we should have had a penalty for that handball, which was quite blatant. The amount of times he got in the way as well

Overall, poor performance and I'm hoping the bollocking Fergie gives them makes them play a whole lot better at the weekend. At least we didn't lose at the end, would have been worse than already

One of the worst defensive displays by us I've ever seen, embarrassing, we were shite and lucky to get a draw, thank fuck for Nani's crossing, Welbeck probably should have won it for us at the end from another Nani cross.

I think I've fractured my finger from being so furious with Berbatov.

The guy that said Rio is past it, hopefully you die.

forgot about the hands, that should have been given but Young's wasn't a peno, he kept on playing and then just stared at the ref.



Btw, if that Basel defender's clearance from his own half would have gone in
De Gea was worried and the Swiss commentator was screaming around with a high-pitched voice, sounded gay as hell

Recently? He's only played twice since returning from an injury.

He's still one of the best defenders in the world. And has been fairly consistently for the past 8 or 9 years.

Youngs was it was a clear push in the back.

and hes been shit those two games especially against basel.

I wouldn't say one of the best. yeah for the past 8 or 9 years but hes going shit now.

Ferdinand wasn't shit tonight.

what a peno by Frei for the 2-3

pity he would have missed it in the NT, still wouldn't want him back though.


Frei just called Berbatov a glorious footballer

I think that is enough evidence to tell everyone what a phenomenally respected footballer Berbatov is around the globe.

He is man marked every time in the box. defenders dare not let a Berbatov free like they did to Ashley Young at the end of the match

Carrick, a player who knows how to keep the ball and pass it



97% successful passes. Yet fans still hate him

Danny wrote:Ferdinand wasn't shit tonight.

LLOOLOOOOOOLOLOLOO Reallly now ?

Did you watch the game ? it was his fault they got the equalizer and had so many chances.
He was at fault for there penalty too.
and at fault for the first goal too.

Our whole defence was fucking shit, were you not wearing your glasses?
