SO FAR---NOT TO BE!




Yeah, it feels like after the game at Stamford Bridge earlier this season doesn't it---United lose and yet somehow you cannot slate them because they were the better side over the 90 minutes.

So it wasn't to be last night. I mean there is only so much that you can do when the referee makes such terrible decisions. It wasn't a penalty and it wasn't a corner kick---at least not to the naked eye, but as fate would have it, we conceded from those terrible decisions.
Conclusion: Mike Dean is a cunt!

Now that we've got that out of the way, the review;
2-1 to City after the first leg was the popular prediction I must say. The important thing was that we remain well in the tie going into the second leg and if we play like that at home, then we'll make yet another trip to Wembley.
I thought Shay Given was City's best player on the night--not Tevez! The Irishman might be the man to decide which way this tie goes if he puts on a similar show at OT. I mean, any other keeper and we could have won 4-2 on the night!
Wayne found it impossible to beat him but what excuse does Valencia have when the goal was at his mercy. I thought he should have at least fell in the goal with the ball--turns out he fell in without the ball even after making contact!

The away goal will only come into consideration after extra time but it will only count if United themselves do no concede--something you can't bet on these days!
