Perhaps it's me?

To be fair to Newcastle they did score through Owen which wasn't given and the there was that back pass that wasn't given other than those two things there was nothing that Newcastle deserved.

Yes. No argument from me. Owen's goal might have made a difference, but probably not.

I think regardless of what the referee called the full time I still think Newcastle should be added a 'goal for' imagine if they were relegated based on 1 goal!!!

Very rare... as a Swansea fan I'm finding it difficult in the knowledge that after years in the doldrums of the lower echelon's we're suddenly second tier, getting occasional (which is better than the recent 'none') games on TV which we cannot see.

Mind you for the game tomorrow verses the scummers from down the road, a mate is going to watch it with other exiled Swans in central London but leaving his TV on connected to Slingbox, just so I can see it here :thumbsup:

There are very rare games shown on TV over here for Championship teams, mainly FA Cup games are all you can hope for.. :(

Puts Utd back on track, was'nt it a cracker that third goal, Ronnie was off sorts and he still scored two. Have to admit the defense was terrible, Gary couldn't cope in the centre. Great tension, good win

he had one good challenge, late in the 2nd half when young was through and he slid in near the halfway line, otherwise you could see he is not there yet, if he ever will be again?
we missed vidic badly, especially on corners where he is the new pallister.
i think the move to real is on ronaldos mind.
we missed an enforcer in midfield, if scholes is not there we struggle, carrick is too nice and fletcher too much of a lightweight try as he might not to be.

Been a good season so far for both Giggs and Scholes, playing them in the different roles has given them a new lease of life. I wonder sometimes perhaps if letting Ronnie go would be a good thing, then he scores two on an off day can we let anyone who can score that well go, even for £75M. Is it easy to get Premiership games in Canada, thinking for next season when we are there?

This weekend in my area, Rogers Sportsnet showed 2 different Premiership games on Saturday (Newcastle-Chelsea was live and Blackburn-Spurs was on tape delay @ 7pm) Today, they showed the Manchester Utd-Aston Villa game live.

Setanta has most of the Premier League games.

We ( Liverpool ) have lost/drawn too many gimme games which really we should have won. Makes for a little entertainment towards the end of the season, but barring any f$ck ups, Utd have done enough.

Here is your chance to prove that you aren't a complete idiot. Go away.
