You can have a look at the first featured match by clicking here, but this next one is certainly not sweetness and light as it sees Newcastle on the end of a proper thumping from the Red Devils.
It was a tough task trying to decide which game to use, but given that we are playing at St James’ Park on Tuesday I wanted to keep it limited to clashes that have taken place at the cathedral on the hill, and ideally keep it to Premier League clashes.
There is another reason for picking this particular thumping though. Paul Scholes, a player who I admire an awful lot, will be out of action for the game on Tuesday after getting himself sent off against Manchester City at the weekend due to a reckless challenge. He isn’t the player he once was, but he is still a cracking player in eyes. Here he is at his brilliant best.
Jermaine Jenas gave us the lead with a long-range drive before a hat-trick from Paul Scholes plus one goal each from Ryan Giggs, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ruud van Nistelrooy made it 6-1 to the away side. Shola Ameobi grabbed a consolation to make it 6-2, but we were still well beaten.
I remember watching it and not even getting angry about it. Man Utd were by far the superior team and tore us to shreds. For once, Andy Gray was spot on with his effusive praise of Alex Ferguson’s men. Paul Scholes was superb that day, and whilst he may be getting on he was also instrumental earlier on in this season when he picked us apart on the first day of the season.
You should all know by now that I’m not in the habit of praising other clubs players, but Scholes has been different class for a number of years now so I guess he deserves it. I’m glad he is out to be honest. Now we just have to worry about Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Ryan Giggs, Nani, Valencia, Hernandez…..
Hopefully we can avoid a repeat of this scoreline tomorrow!
We need Tiote to have an outstanding peformance if we want to get something tomorrow.
I just hope they dont score early on otherwise I fear the worst – they will want to put the City game right. United never lose back to back games.
Theres nothing wrong with getting beat of Man U, I just hope we put in a good peformance.

Before the Everton match the week before (where we were cheated and deflated) we were on an amazing run, We were nigh on unbeatable at home and i honestly believe that if we’d beaten Everton, We would have beaten Man Utd and pushed them and Arsenal all the way until the end.
Settling for 3rd above chelsea and liverpool was a bit disapointing at the time… 😯 😥

Don’t forget Carrick, this great player that we lost out on.
(I would rather have Tiote) 😉
DJG(Quote)
Carrick is shyte man. The most over-rated player in the Premier League IMO 😛
I see http://www.haveapopatpardehughtonisking.org has cranked up the criticism of our current manager again 🙄

why wont Gravatar work! 😥

I think this game will prove whether Williamson is cut out to be one of the first choice centre backs next season. I am always slightly worried he will do something daft against the big teams and i just think if Hernandez gets the wrong side of him, we are shagged
Moreno(Quote)
Spencer – Gravatar works. It looks like Ryan sucking a *****.
toonsy(Quote)
Moreno thankfully there is only 1 Hernandez 😆
DJG do you not frequent there anymore ❓
Big Dave(Quote)
Moreno, if Hernandez gets on the wrong side of any defender you know he’s going to score 😉
dan4toon(Quote)
wheyyy its worked… I compleatly agree Moreno.
Does everyone think Gary Cahill would be out of our depth?
I really rate him but dont no if other people do. 😆
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Moreno
Did you see how Willo handled RVP earlier on this year? Should answer all of your questions.
I’m not saying get rid of him, I just think he shouldn’t be expected to shut down a top striker.

Mikes a better defender than S.Taylor, dont need to judge him tomorrow to decide.

Ice – It can’t all be picnics and roses 😉
Beside, it will tomorrows one much better 😉

Ice I know how you feel mate 👿
Andrew thats yours and others opinions I tend to have a different one 😉
Big Dave(Quote)
What did ya’s think of the semi-final then?
I don’t think it was a sign of the tide beginning to yurn exactly, although on paper at least City should now be a match for Man United. Football isn’t about paper though for some reason. 😕
DJG(Quote)
turn not yurn. 🙂
DJG(Quote)
DJG I just think City were up for it more and fought harder 😉
Big Dave(Quote)
Dave
You rekon Taylors better like?
In Taylors defense he hasn’t had a good run at centre back, he’s had injuries, so maybe next season is to judge him.
AndrewNUFC(Quote)
Can’t remember that match at all, therefore it never happened 😉
richietoon(Quote)
Have you noticed that whenever Man U get beat fair and square by a better team on the day in a final or semi final……they always try and single out a couple of players to blame and throw their toys out the pram.
It’s the Man United way. 😉
DJG(Quote)
Personally prefer S.Taylor…
Moreno(Quote)
Andrew I just think that at the start of last season and before he was a decent CB, But from then injuries etc haven’t been in his favour 😉
Big Dave(Quote)
Dave/Ice 🙄
Just for you then, new thread up 🙄
toonsy(Quote)
DJG did you like the way Balotelli wound rio up 😆 😆
Moreno I agree mate
