No not really was a very entertaining game by all accounts, i just put it down to first day jitters :p

:rofl:

Would those be the same jitters that last all season whenever you play away? :D

na mate we got over them thanks after about 4 months ;)

hmm, I guess man utd need to get rid of the first team players that were playing in the match then, If they're only good enough to be called the reserve team.

Thats the one thing I hate, Big headidness, thinking your team has its own Anti supporter club.. trust me your not that well liked!

(Except in China);)

Well as I said, I guess Stoke are just a better team than Man Utd then :D

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Are you seriously trying to tell me that you think United aren't the most hated club???

Only two of the players who started the match against Stoke, started against Bolton.
I'm not making excuses, Stoke played well, Man United played crap.

I thought all the fans in China now supported Real? :p

Hate is a strong word Russ...

The thing that gets me is them constantly being rammed down my throat...

Look at the BBC homepage... Here for an example. Didn't Blackburn win 5-1 today??

Why is it "Man Utd off to a flyer?" :shrug:

Good point about the word 'hate'.....

I'm not a gambling man but if I was I'd be willing to bet this month's pay that if you asked all the non-United football fans which team they'd like to see slowly die a death and slip in to the First Division, the vast majority would say Man United.

I'm not discussing whether or not this resentment is justified, I'm just making a point that the usual anti-United brigade often come out with daft comments about one of their 4 goals being 'way offside'.....

Well, we'l hafta wait for the premiership tonight ;)

I caught a bit of it on Sky earlier and it certainly looked dodgy to me.

I'll bet you're glad to put the ghost of the last 2 seasons playing Bolton at home behind you though. ;)

Ruud was a mile offside on scholes' goal.

The main plus point of the game for me was Ronaldo. For an 18 year old to come on and completely change the game! A real star for the future, if not now.

You bet :)

In any case I think all eyes will be on Chelsea v Liverpool tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see how the new-look Blues will handle quality opposition.

Don't call us quality oposition man, we don't know which Liverpool team are going to turn up yet:( Is it going to be the one that creates bags of chances and loses 1- 0 or the boring sde thta manages to win 1 - 0.

Ok yes I am nervous, but honestly think we will struggle tomorrow, no Gerrard or Hamman, and Biscan is going to be our midfield anchor man:shrug:

Because they are the current champions :)
