    Seen a great suggestion for a new chant to the tune of ABBA’s ‘Mamma Mia’. Do you think it will catch on?

    ♪ Di Maria
    Here he goes again
    Angel, how can he assist you? ♫ ♩

    I'm still there with Mata. I don't think it's hit me yet that Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao are Utd players, and are both delighted about it apparently!

    Have to say that post is fairly inaccurate. Valencia was better than usual but not good by most standards. Still dawdles on the ball and ends up passing backwards. His good marking that the poster points out isn't actually good. He puts so much space between the player and himself that the player has plenty of time to get the pass away.

    He lauds him for an obstruction towards the end of the post which I don't particularly follow.

    Valencia certainly didn't have a bad game. But it wasn't anything to write home about.

    Great job! I take it there's still one more wish left in that lamp so who else is on the way?? Or is that wish just for Keno? :pac:

    The atmosphere in the stadium was very up and down yesterday, but when Falcao scored the place blew its lid, his chant is just infectious. Also I love the constant gratitude Di Maria shows towards the fans during the game, he went to take a corner and some lads rolled down an Argentina flag and he applauded them as he was jogging over to take the corner and that wasn't the only time during the game. Blind is very similar in that respect too.

    The only thing that annoys me about the McNair and Rojo partnership at the back is the amount of square passes between them. It's rare that Blind isn't in a position to take the ball from them. Better than hoofing it though I suppose.

    I saw someone posting this somewhere else,

    Valencia was obviously told to create space down the flanks for the attack and took his role quite literally

    That actually made me realise how much of the game I don't see, even when I'm watching it.

    Never noticed that Blind - Valencia cooperation.

    Surely any song about Di Maria should come from Blondies seminal belter 'Maria'

    If Love is blind, and Shrek is Love, that means that Shrek=Blind. But if, as opposition fans always say, Rooney=Shrek does that mean Rooney and Blind are the same player? I mean. Rooney didn't play Yday and Blind did.

    The stupid over the top criticism of Cleverley is probably related to the stupid overrating of Blind.

    I would agree mostly, but with players neatly back from injury a extra week is important.

    Blind has been very good for the most part. Really smart player. Everton noticeably pressurised him second half because of the impact he had first half.
