GOOD, Liverpool belongs at a midtable team...

Rather have city, chelsea, united and arsenal as top 4..

I'd rather United drop out since FFP benefits them more.

Ander is unreal. He creates so many advantages.

If Spain can play with Herrera, Cesc and Isco... My god.

It's QPR, you know. When he played against Swansea, he couldn't do a thing.

The important thing is, at the moment we're 7 points ahead of United, 6 points ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool, and 5 points ahead of City. If we don't fuck up ourselves, the league is ours and it doesn't matter how others play. We just need to keep winning and no one will be able to do a thing. Granted, it's not easy to keep winning, but the point is we already have a good gap over all other top teams and the gap is ours to lose(or rather not to lose). United&Liverpool&Arsenal can battle it out for the 3&4th place for all I care.

QPR might as well have gone home. Pitiful display. I'm sure the media will be wanking over this Man Utd/Van Gaal masterclass but the opposition are shameful.

so manure beat the shit outta shit ,, great return to 200 mill

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

This is the exact kind of game United needed to build up some confidence in them. Its a shame QPR are so shit because had it been a different opponent, LVG's winless streak could have easily continued.

DC19 could have scored a double hat trick against them,heck even Mikel would have scored!

[Barbara 15,149]

We don't need the media to wank over United, some people here do that just fine

For all that's worth QPR is by far the worst team in the league. Shitty Spurs also netted a bunch against them. Do people really expect the likes of di María to be quiet against a side that poor?

I'm yet to be convinced this United side will get into the top 4, but some people are another win away from saying they're a threat to our title hopes. Does a forum qualify to social media? Then does it qualify to media hype as well?

Maybe I'm biased by my despair for United. I hate them with a passion, but while I think their signings will be enough to make them deal with the very poor sides of the league, they'll struggle with some tough midtable sides, that like to press and control midfield and they don't stand a chance in hell against the top teams, despite Liverpool and Arsenal somewhat being considered top teams. Also their defense is a joke.

Not bothered, or worried at all.

Actually let them believe the hype and slip in a banana skin next (have no idea who they face). If they think they're amazing, then it's a good chance for them to fall from their arrogance.

ADM is so damn good. Unreal. Best player in the league.

you should watch fabregas and Costa sometime

[Daniel1980 1,425]

+1

And Hazard.

I would say that Di Maria is tied with Hazard as the most talented and gifted player in the league.

Both are utterly unplayable (like Hazard was yesterday) when playing well.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Martin Tyler saying 'WOW' to Di Maria's cross/goal was hilarious. I didn't ever hear him say that when Frank and others did it multiple times....

They are all going to get carried away with this and good luck to them. But today all I saw was an average team beating a very poor side. This result will paper over the cracks. Johnny Evans and Blackett and the likes in their defence, its just a matter of time.

I don't really hate Man Utd, never really have, that sort of emotion is reserved for Liverpool, but the media bias has always been embarrassing and I fear it's getting to those levels again with Van Gaal's 'philosophy' and his new stars. Let them ride this wave and then come crashing down when quality is presented before them. Costa vs Evans....I can't wait.

Sorry but hazard is more talented and gifted especially in terms of decision making and scoring. Dimaria is just at his peak but once hazard has more consistency, they wouldn't be in the same conversation.

They had 70% possession so they were not tested at all in defense. We'll see how they fare against teams that puts pressure pressing and force them to defend.

They have no European football so I think they'll enjoy liverpool's advantage last season of having a full week to rest and practice opposition tactics, so they might knick fourth spot.

But the distance between them and us/ mancity is too much for them to pose any threat to the title.

"Would love to see a mock image of Mourinho saying "How am I doing boss?" with Roman smiling down at him.

I would probably piss myself laughing"..... sorry to post this again but does anyone have the original cartoon (link) the scousers made ?

[Special Juan 27,106]

I cannot believe how much hype and bull shit surrounded united today, it was as if today was their first game of the season and the media after the game was nothing short of laughable..

[Blue Traveler 256]

This media wank fest for Manure is good. let them have it let'em believe they beat the fucking Barca not the fact that QPR is the shitest football team in prem ATM which come end of the league they will go back to where they really belong! I even encourage it! Does us a lot of good.

[Chelsea? 892]

If they didn't beat qpr, they'd be talking about relegation
