utter disappointment.
no doubt that this match has generated a lot of talking points, from the moment paul scholes got sent off.
rooney's sending off was, i felt, too harsh though fulham deserved the win.
and speaking as a man utd fan, ronaldo should really learn to GET ON WITH THE GAME instead of lying on the ground and acting injured.
he should know better that lying on the ground gives you a higher chance of being booked for diving than changing the referee's mind.
well, all hope is not lost. we're still top. and the last i checked, chlesea was a goal down to tottenham.

That is genius, dudelove!
I came home and turned on the TV at 60+ min and from then till now I'm still in shock.
And I swear, that save by Schwarzer of Rooneys shot was nothing short of miraculous. His trailing leg managed to deflect the ball OFF the target.
Could someone tell me what exactly Scholes did? I heard the commentators saying it was a red card that really couldn't be contested. Did he punch someone or something??

Thanks. I can't believe he did that. He should have enough experience to know that even if they DO miss the penalty, manchester united missing a player as crucial and influential as himself would be disastrous.
Although it was a split second decision and he is my football idol so I can't really fault him that much. Well at least Chelsea lost, thanks for the info zullio!
. It could be one of those days when all the top team lost.

didn't agree with the lineup, just didn't do for me. absolutely disappointing.
fkin' hell yes, exactly. he's getting on my nerves.
fulham did deserve the win. honestly i was expecting man utd to take the game by half time. praying hard liverpool drop points, but villa's recent form is trash.
man utd will still win the title, but wtf, they really didn't have to make it this exciting for the neutrals.

i guess appeal is one thing. even if his red is rescinded (is that e term?? haha) it doesnt change the fact that in e dying moments united were really left with a gaping hole up front with no hope of a return.

The ref was harsh on that. Rooney flared up. I thought he was going to punch the ref but fortunately, he didnt and went for the corner flag instead.

even with rooney on the pitch, pulling back 2 goals is unrealistic. seriously.
i always have that 'extra time miracle' mentality, just for optimism's sake lah.

Same here man.
Yea I hope they appeal the red card. Saves Manu from having to play a game without Rooney.
