He was pretty harsh singling out Luiz. Essien, Malouda, Anelka amounst others was asking for one of them most of the season, why didnt Carlo do it to them too?

Wasnt it Bolourouz who Ronaldinho put on his ass before setting up Gudjohsen to give Barca the lead? I hardly think its Bolo mark 2, Luiz has been fantastic in every game bar this one, Stoke and Brum and i even think he was treated very harshly by Carlo today.

Bliming heck didnt expect that saw LDN was having a surge and i thought he had it. Thankyou for all who voted and its a pleasure to get it, even more so that i was up against some extremelly stiff competition. KTBFFH

As i said a few weeks ago for those who want Carlo out be very carefull what you wish for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its pretty worrying that we haven't won from 2-0 down since AUGUST 2002!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when we did it away at Charlton, this aint just the prem its all competitions

Maybe he should have played them more but depsite all this not one of our managers has as much as looked at the youth since Vialli, Ancelotti is alteast showing intent on that topic.

Fabio made 2 appearances in 08/09 at the age of 18, the next season at the age of 19 he made 11, now he starting to break through, McEachran is much higher in development than Fabio was at that age and even Rafeal werent playing regually at 17, Josh will be class give him time.

Excellent post Alex, i aint actually too disappointed considering the predicament i thought we would be now after the night down at Fulham. Every one has season like this (Man.Utd 01/02, Bayern 06/07, Barca 07/08) yet we (unlike those) will more than likely finish in the top 2, hopefully Roman gives Carlo a year to stamp his authority properly and next season we will be ready to battle on all fours again. Considering the predicament after Fulham game i aint too disappointed at-all and would have bit your hand off is this was offered to me after that match.

+1 although i disagree on Luiz being off it should have been Ivan he was walking a tight rope, put Luiz at RB he could have gone forward more and tested O Shit/Evans. Alex tho, TOP CLASS

Carlo was very harsh on Luiz imo, he cant be solely blamed for that goal surely, Giggs 1st then Park should have both been closed down, ok he didnt have his best game but he didn't deserve to get scapegoated like that, i love Carlo and im 100% behind him but that was a joke.

Yes we gave it a fight that day but we sure didnt in the few weeks leading up to that match. United were crumbling and there for the taking yet we labour to a dire draw at St James Park and at home to Bolton which ultimately cost us in the end, not to mention the christmas period where we didnt know our ass from our elbow and the Anfield display was beyond woefull.

The worse thing about this is taking shit from utd "fans" who have never set foot inside Manchester.

Dont give a fuck what any-one says - 2 months ago we were out of the champions league places, EIGHTEEN points off the top at one point -below Tottenham and just above Sunderland and Bolton -yet we still managed to take the title race to the last month We should be IMMENSELY proud of what we have done for the last couple of months and things only look up next season (god im starting to sound like a scouser ) KTBFFH

We should be showing more urgency

How ironic would it be if Torres turns this around?

Even with whats going on 1 goal could change everything

2 goals down so what do we do, make 2 defensive changes when we have Benayoun, Anelka and Torres on the bench aswell as taking off our defender whos most likely to score, well done carlo

Im half tempted to turn over to life of riley

This will be humilating if we carry on like this

Considering the amount of arrogant United fans gobbing off to me today i will fucking laugh at the twats if we beat them

Just the team i wanted, if Kalou is on his game he can give John O Shit a torrid time

It annoys me when people say Stoke play boring football they actually play some pretty good stuff

A reapeat today would be handy

Since boxing day we have/will play played 19 times at the same weekend/midweek as Man.Utd in the prem. 2 of them were/are before Utd played 5 of them were/are at the same time (including our 2 games against eachother) 13 (THIRTEEN) of them were/are after Utd Now this is a complete joke and proves beyond reasonable doubt that sky are infact in Utd's corner, playing after your nearest rivals put intense pressure on you if they get a win (you saw how it affected us at WHL last season) and the fact that 2/3's of our recent games have been after utd is to be quite frank a complete and utter joke,. sort it out sky.

I was 10 times worse before the Wigan game than i was for the Liverpool game. At Anfield because of what was at stake for both parties i just could not see us screwing up and i knew it was over once Drogba scored, however the week building up tot he Wigan game was horrible got visions of Rodallega doing a Heskey As for today, nerves? we have nothing to lose and everything to gain, we were 18 points behind at one point, no-one expected or are expecting us to do anything suits us perfectly.
