Leeds arn't Man U's rivals.They're a feeder club.

Good win for Wigan today, even if the gate receipts let the city down again (if I'd only have been there, the DW would've filled up in a flash

). Hopefully the lads can take a much-needed bit of confidence from that one.

t'was a good win, im made up about that

If i didn't support Villa it would be Wigan. Not for all the right reasons though, only because they have Rodallege. I could sit and watch that chap play for hours on end.

Villa 3 - Blackburn 1
Same scoreline in the next game we play them and I will be over the moon(League cup semi)

0-1 down at half time and I'm fuming.
Brown is not a centre half. Welbeck is not a winger and neither Anderson nor Gibson know how to play anchor midfield. The back four need a Carrick or a Fletcher to hold everything together.
Classic case of Fergie not respecting a lower divisional side.
2nd half had better be better!

Utd never take the cups that seriously and just concentrate on the main two competitions, despite the statement being obvious, its certainly the key to their success.

Fucking disgrace. FUCK OFF LEEDS YOU AWFUL INBRED C*NTS.

Well that's it.

United could have fielded a team that would have despatched this Leeds side within the first 20 minutes.
Instead they chose to field a team peppered with reserves that couldn't do the job that was needed.
Why does he never win a game first and then rest his 1st choice players later in the match instead of doing things the other way round?
It just doesn't make sense.

Fantastic result for Leeds. Its true that United looked very, very weak or without any sense of leadership at the back and the midfield wasnt really strong enough to feed Rooney and Berbatov but i still think that especially with the addition of Giggs, Valencia and Owen in the second half that they should have been able to at least force a replay.

Unorganised and not exactly playing to their strengths with the line up but there was enough quality on the field to do away with Leeds.

Utd were awful today. Missed Vidic badly and Brown played like someone who had settled for a day bench-warming.

Welbeck showed his true (lack of) quality today, no first touch, no vision, no final ball. I know he's a striker but jesus, these are the basics! Tosic would have been more effective out there and that's saying something. Time to pack Welbeck off to the championship I think and get in a left-sided player of quality.

Are any other Utd fans growing weary of shouting "do something with it!"? Going forward our players always want to take an extra touch or three, especially in wide areas. Just whip it in early and don't give the defense time to set, at least Rooney might get on the end of it. The less said about Berbatov's predatory instincts, the better.

I watched both the Burnley and the Man U matches. Honestly, Burnley were lucky to hang on at the end to get through. Also, Leeds were lucky at the very end when Man U were throwing everything at the goal. If Man U had kept a little calmer at the end they could have got at least one.

Just means all you Man U fans now will have to get behind the Clarets as far as the FA cup goes.....

Who reckons Coyle will go to Bolton or stay at Burnley?
