Nani looks hurt:rolleyes:

Peyton Manning · 29-08-2008 9:05pm

Thats the title wrapped up for Chelsea anyway...

Oh wait..

ironingbored · 29-08-2008 9:07pm

Bit early to concede, no?:)

Im fairness Tevez apart Utd have treated this as a training game.

Aquos76 · 29-08-2008 9:09pm

Jesus lads, Tevez is playing these guy on his own. He is outstanding yet again

Aquos76 · 29-08-2008 9:11pm

O Shea should have scored there

Hobart · 29-08-2008 9:12pm

United being torn apart by an "average" UEFA cup team. If Tevez was not on the pitch, it would be pityfull. Nani showing his true colours, when it matters. It looks like it did last season tbh in that without CR Manu are poor.

You could probably have thrown on any ten random punters plus Tevez for all the impact the rest if them have had. Tis really Tevez v Zenit

See Tevez throw his hands in the air there at disgust as Nani lost the ball.

:D:D Calm down Carlos

Aquos76 · 29-08-2008 9:15pm

Vidic 2-1

Frank Spencer · 29-08-2008 9:16pm

Goal!! Vidic

2-1

MementoMori · 29-08-2008 9:17pm

2-1 Vidic

From a corner to Rooney to Tevez who puts it on a plate for Vidic to stroke past three defenders on the line

Tevez booked:p

MementoMori · 29-08-2008 9:19pm

Arshavin aint done much

Spurs are sure to buy him:p

Aquos76 · 29-08-2008 9:19pm

Brown on for Neville

Aquos76 · 29-08-2008 9:32pm

Scholes sent off for second yellow card for blatant handball.

PHB · 29-08-2008 9:32pm

Thats hilarious from Scholes. What a touch with the hand

Top corner

Does that apply to CL games, cause that would be just great

token56 · 29-08-2008 9:33pm

Wow hand of god 2

niallk · 29-08-2008 9:33pm

hahahaha
O'Shea trying to congratulate him.

merlinsmerryman · 29-08-2008 9:33pm

Best sending off ever :eek:

suckslikeafox · 29-08-2008 9:33pm

Scholes you muppet, what was he thinking?

Guy:Incognito · 29-08-2008 9:33pm

LOL @ Tv3 commentator (moloney?) "great header from scholes" FFS. I only caught the screen out of the corner of my eye and I saw the hand.:)

MementoMori · 29-08-2008 9:34pm

Scholes off - second yellow - crazy handball from corner

Cards picked up in this sham count in Europe apparenty:eek: According to ITV

Reckless - just reckless

kev_s88 · 29-08-2008 9:34pm

what a great goal by Scholes. best sending off ever

niallk · 29-08-2008 9:36pm

"Nani takes..."
Need you say more?

Aquos76 · 29-08-2008 9:36pm

According to ITV, he misses our first CL group stage match

token56 · 29-08-2008 9:37pm

Ferdinand playing as a forward.

jaykay74 · 29-08-2008 9:38pm

Scholes, why oh why, i hope its just a 1 game ban.

Aquos76 · 29-08-2008 9:38pm

FT Man Utd 1 Zenit 2

In fairness a lovely finish by him - Cheeky bugger by O'Shea with the congratulations.

FT 2-1

Sham of a cup in all seriousity.

Cant believe cards count in proper European games - Mockadious

MOTM = Tevez by a mile - I can imagine him bollocking Scholes in the dressing room while Rooney and Rio snigger in the corner:)

Off to pub now Hurrah

herbieflowers · 29-08-2008 9:39pm

haha, lunacy from Scholes

PHB · 29-08-2008 9:39pm

Hilariously funny game

Stil clear to me that the wingers are in order Ronaldo, Park, Nani, Giggs.

Headshot · 29-08-2008 9:42pm

what a goal from scholes

hand of god

but getting serious here:P

united need a target man

tevez and Ronney cant win balls in the air in the majority of games

jaykay74 · 29-08-2008 9:44pm

Nani, oh my god. Hopefully we can just but it down to 1st game of the season crapness. Rooney worries me (not overly obviously) he tried to lay the ball off a number of times when he could have had a pop.

29-08-2008 9:46pm

Scholes is a hero, great finish to be fair but WTF was he doin.

United, sham of a game or not, were absolutely shocking until going 2-0 down which indicates to me that they didnt take the game overly seriously in their approach. Tevez again was the only one who had commitment, desire, and a bit of a spark about him.

I agree with PHB, Nani has some way to go.

Tonight absolutely rammed home that brown is now our #1 right back. Neville was BRUTAL.

fish fingers · 29-08-2008 9:47pm

ah feck it . its a joke of a cup anyways. Tevez was everywhere. At least scholes gave me a laugh at the end

herbieflowers · 29-08-2008 9:48pm

I think Neville was just a bit rusty. Defensively he was solid, his deliveries into the box let him down tonight, though.

genericgoon · 29-08-2008 9:48pm

Has Scholes been too much women's beach volleyball during the Olympics?

Guy:Incognito · 29-08-2008 9:51pm

Slightly ot but whats with Scholes having a Zidane like immunity to abuse for doing stupid things? His reckless tackles get passed off and the likes of this is laughed away.

If Rooney had done the same he'd have been called all sorts.

Probably because Zidane, Scholes has given years of excellent service,sublime skill and wonderful memories which would make you less likely to castigate him over a moment of madness.

Aquos76 · 29-08-2008 9:55pm

Fergie wasnt aware that Scholes is now going to miss a CL game, the look on his face was priceless. He singled out Tevez as been Man Utd best player tonight.

jaykay74 · 29-08-2008 10:01pm

Thought Josh did alright tonight. Brown over Neville for me from now on. I know its early days for Neville on his comeback but he is too static for me and that won't change. Brown offers better pace and support.

Aquos76 · 29-08-2008 10:03pm

Yeah Josh did play well when he came on as did Park. I hate to say it but I think Gary Neville days as a first choice right back are past. Wes has to be now.

Hero Of College · 29-08-2008 10:04pm

Scholes act was that of a man who plays for a team which has been molly coddled by officials all its life. And those they couldn't molly coddle they browbeat. "no Problem, I'll just reach up and handle this in, bobs yer uncle, nobody will dare do a thing, we are Man U, we rule"

Disgusting act of perfidious cheating by Scholes, and to think he had the temerity to "celebrate" with one of his team-mates.

Anybody who wants to chortle at Liverpools efforts against S. Liege had better had a look at Uniteds performance tonight.

ZSP are a decent unit, sure, and a bit better known in the last 4 months thanks to the UEFA Cup and the Euro Champs, but they are no major worldbeating outfit. Liege are this years ZSP.

Rooney, it seems has been ruined as a player. As much as Tyldsley tried to BS the viewers, the kid who wowed us at Everton is no more.:(:(

Great stuff Utd loose and loose a player for the CL and clearly are not as strong was they should be. Chelsea to win the league and Romans millions to grab all the silverwear this season.

A bit premature tbh. We didn't exactly set the world on fire in the first few months of last season either.

Prob a bit harsh on scholes there bud.Im a liverpool fan and i think the guy is a wonderful player, on and off the field. Sure some of his tackles are pathetic but IMO the leagues best player over the last 10 years or more. Will agree with you on Rooney. The guy is the most over rated player in the history of the game in England. Never scored more than 20 goals in a season but maybe a lot of that is down to the position Ferguson plays him in? Dont know...Put him in an average team and he would look very ordinary...Eg: England

You are gonna have some posters rushing for a dictionary with a post like that!

Also, he didn't "celebrate", O'Shea did, Scholes was busy chortling his way off the pitch! :pac:

In fairness, ZSP are an infinitely better team than Liege. I have no idea why you brought that up other than looking to have a go. ZSP murdered Bayern in the UEFA semi last season, they are no flash in the pan. SL on the other hand are a robust and orgqanised unit with little to no attacking flair and probably have spent maybe 20 mill if even on their whole team whereas ZSP just spent €30 million on Danny, i don't see the comparison.....at all.
