At this rate we could end up with the best defensive record in the PL - currently joint third

kept clean sheets at sunderland, wigan, stoke, liverpool, villa .

we far harder to score against then few years ago.

That have led to goals. A highly suspicious statistic.

Our defending is ok one day, f**king shocking the next. It wasnt brilliant today- sat far too deep in the last twenty minutes, failed to mark runners on four occasions and, more generally, we totally failed to hold the ball.

[modd]

frankly. commitment to get to every ball was immense

[Peter]

They worked hard and dealt with some excellent balls into the box and when you consider that we had ten men, only centre back and a midfielder at right back, you have to give them plenty of credit.

I do hope nobody thinks that this is a change of course though. Had one of those scrambles gone and the game ended in a draw some people on here would be screaming about all the misses.

I am happier talking about the performance overall which was, for the most part, excellent.

Again. First game i have seen in almost a month

[modd]

we never held on to 1-0 lead when down to ten men few years back. now we do. sign of a team of champions that

[modd]

about that

[Peter]

Bunch of c**ts it turned out.

Sometimes your opponents simply cant score. Thy scuff every finish, the keeper blocks a few and everyone starts handing out medals.

Try and remember, sunderland are pretty ****

[Grinner]

What's more important is that we've succeeded in spreading the goals around. The Mancs are now a one-man team...trouble is...what a man!

Will be sickening seeing him lift the title.

[modd]

for the league

[modd]

this year. mate is a wonderful win. the lads deserve credit
