Do the bookies now something? Our odds have shortened from 33/1 to 25/1 over the past few days

It wasn't until the Morris wonder goal that our players realised they could go toe to toe with them.
Our shape wasn't the best to start with as we gave them far to much space out wide which they totally dominated us. Coughlan moved Bennet into midfield and went with a back four and the game totally changed.
If we had started with the flat back four and Man United didn't put out what was probably their strongest starting line up the result could have been so different.
We gave them a two goal head start . Fought back excellently then seemed to run out of energy just before they got their third.
For 40 minutes or so we went toe to toe with MANCHESTER UNITED and at times looked the better side...It was our start that killed us.
Those are my thoughts...feel free to disagree

I agree, far too much respect mate. I was so annoyed with the closet Man U lot in front of me in the Compeed that I was spoiling for a fight ( I know it was wrong ) but I purposely clapped my hands right next to the ears of the **** and his mate in front of me, begging for a reaction - but none! Never cheered or clapped once in the whole game, there were loads of them. We must get ticketing right for these occasions!

Thanks boys for a memorable day. You did our city proud.

Sorry but I for one don't find it understandable. I expected us to be in their face and testing the referee's tolerance level from the kick off. We earned our right to be in that pitch as equals.

Any chance their tickets were +1s?
