Becks wearing green and gold on the way out

LUHG

an absolutely fantastic performance from United tonight.

LouBarlow · 10-03-2010, 20:44

Wow could be a season defining result there. I'm scared. Hold me

Nani even played fairly well on the left (apart from early on), so i expect we're all scared

Terrific performance tonight. Milan were made to look like Liverpool.

evilsly · 10-03-2010, 21:21

wonder if the glazers enjoyed the view

Yip, a great night for a variety of reasons.

Just got in from cinema and watched your game. Awesome performance.

Christ I hope Rooney stays fit for the summer.

unrealnils · 10-03-2010, 23:27

Impressive, most impressive..........

Bloom · 11-03-2010, 02:27

Pains me to say it but that was one hell of a performance

MrC · 11-03-2010, 08:42

The most disciplined and 'tactically astute' performance from us in a long, long time.

Park being out for the 1st part of the season could prove a real benefit in the the run in, he's as fresh as a daisy.

Poor, ageing milan team but you can only beat what's in front of you. No surprise really about the 'Los Galacticos' (aka 'we spunked 250 mill euros but still ****** it up') crashing out.

Nice touch by Becks with the scarf.....priceless publicity

dean richardson · 11-03-2010, 08:46

was i the only one a bit disappointed the becks shot didnt fly in the top corner?

With Fulham away at juve tonight hopefully they get a tough game and be softened up for another OT performance like last night!

...no mate, I'd have loved to have seen that tear the back of the net off!

...it's not usual to want the opposition to score against us but as it was Becks (...Legend) and as it wouldn't have made any difference to the result, it would have made a fitting epitaph to his 'probable' last ever appearance against United!

...by the way, he was only on for the last half hour but he was easily their best player of the night...wish Fergie had of offered him a place in the team, he's wasted at Milan!

Agree with that completely. His delivery was superb - 'Rory Delap throw-'esque in the way that pretty much every time he crossed it, it looked like they might get a decent chance.

He was allowed a fair bit of time on the ball, though, as we were cruising by then. Would love to have seen him score with that rocket.

Definitely a good weapon to have if chasing the game at the World Cup, IMHO.

Absolutely. One of his pinpoint crosses on to the head of Rooney = goal.

That's the problem though - he'd never get that sort of space in the Premier League so i'm kind of glad he never came back. He's much better off in the generally slower Serie A.

Decent article in The Sun here that sums up the night last night really:

The sentimentalist in me would love to see Beckham in a United shirt one last time because he was the defining footballer of this era, but in fifty years I'm sure they'll be talking about Scholes and Giggs before they mention him.

campdave · 11-03-2010, 12:47

Hargreaves withdrawn from tonight's reserve squad.

not to take anything away from scholes, who is a legend in his own right

But will Beckham be remembered for his football more than Scholes will?
