Minimum of 4 minutes added time was indicated by the 4th offical as Bellamy celebrated.

89'55" Bellamy scores. Spends 85 secs larging it in front of the fans and fannying about getting back in his own half.

91'20" Game restarts. No added time has yet been played.

92'30" Sub. Only 1 minute 10 added time played.

93'00" Game restarts.

95'30" Mickey bloody Owen scores. 3'40" added time played

96'20" Game restarts. 20 secs added time left.

96'40" 4 mins up - Full Time.

and that is it from me for a day or so.

Had a few Stella, will only end in tears if I stay logged on.

Result in Fergie time! It's like the Irish EU Constitution vote. Keep trying until you get the "right" result!

Very exciting last quarter for utd, but it has to be said Valencia is rubbish, that shot would have ended up in the beetham tower if it hadn't been deflected

If Valencia is rubbish, god knows what you think of Nani!

Has his moments, brief though they are. We need a midfield that us on another level, this one is bobbins and god knows how thay are where they are. Fergie will have a heart attack at this rate

Moments? He doesn't have a clue! I rate Valancia, he gets stuck in and he's not scared of shooting. He's scored 2 goals which have basicly put us into the knock out stages. Think you were watching the wrong player.

Was there tonight, still United are unbeaten when I've seen them (countless number of times now) so quite relieved! Wonderful cameo from Obertan though!

Obertan >>>>>>>>>>>> Nani

So much more dynamic, so much more in control, even though he lacks that rare Nani shot.

Amazing game today. We play shit but we make amazing football games.

I rate Valencia too, he's solid. Him on the right wing with Giggs/Obertan on the left, that's a winner right there.

Saw the match from my armchair, but I'm afraid that from any angle Nani is plainly not up to the standard required for a United winger. He's been given ample opportunity to prove himself and has failed so far. He's a bit of a strange one insofar that he can sporadically produce some decent shots on goal but his link-up play and passing show that he is woefully short in the 'brains' dept. resulting in him running into cul-de-sacs through poor decision-making. I think Fergie will be running out of patience with him by now and will probably off-load him in Jan. (Hey I hope he proves me wrong)

Valencia has definite promise but is nowhere near the finished article yet, I think we'll see big improvements from him in the second half of the season.

The DeSilva twins, well think about it, do we need a pair of fucking defenders that can't weigh more than 150lbs between the two of them? Who the hell scouted those? Some Brazilian gangster-agent is laughing his cock off big time. It's hard to believe how naive United can be sometimes with some of the dross that's brought into the club.

The French kid is a star in the making, watch this space...

PS, Judging by his line-up, I think Fergie may have underestimated Moscow a tad...

The problem with Nani is hes not as good as he thinks he is!.He never knows when to release the ball and ends up in a dead end or dispossessed.Valencia has a lot of potential but needs time to settle in.The future however is defiantly Obertan!!.Great last 15 mins last night after an otherwise shit match,the guy who sits next to me always leaves early and usually misses loads of goals.I cant understand that myself why pay the money And miss the best part?.Anyhow rant over!!

The guy next to me at the Man Utd v Man City game left on around 80 minutes, and looking around the stadium he was far from alone in leaving early. I have no idea why so many people leave games early when so much can happen right up until the final siren. To miss out on a bit of traffic? Big deal!

The funny things is he only goes early so he can get served first at the bar on the quays,I always see him in there after with a pint looking very happy with himself....the fact that hes usually just missed a winning goal seems to be an irrelevance!!

That gets me as-well. Last night just before the 3rd goal went in I turned around and shouted out 'Has the final whistle gone?' along with afew other moans. One of my best ones is 'Is it your bed time?'. A lad afew seats away was laughing. Pay £36 and leave early, especially on a Sunday at 4pm. Why does someone have to leave 5-10 minutes before the end on a Sunday at 3/4pm? Is your tea going cold or something?

I'd rather stay around and wait till everyone else is gone than speed home as fast as possible. I think people in Britain are just obsessed with rushing and being worried. As a country we need to take some dock off chill pills.
