Manchester United F.C Thread [2009/2010]

[Zakov]

Typical businessmen/politician/corrupt figurehead response. Expect no integrity whatsoever when confronting them.

David Gill: "How could you tell when I changed my mind?" <- Prime example of this.

Sadly, almost every club will have someone like this within their ranks. The continual rise of football's popularity means more money to be exploited by these people.

Man..Ronalinho's hitting form at the wrong time for us. Milan as a team have improved as well compared to a month or two ago. But their defence is still suspect so that is something we can exploit. I hope we don't crumble like we always do at san siro against milan.

I had a dream last night. I sent a letter to Rooney, who read it and convinced the entire team to mutiny. They made it to the champion's league final and wore green and yellow kits they'd bought with their own money and smuggled in without anyone else in the club knowing. It created a huge media stir, and the glazers backed out, and everyone else was happy.
Then I woke up...

I don't whether I should be happy or sad. never had this feeling before.

hahaha... if only it could become true!

Either you support your team or you support your favourite player from the other team. You choose.

Well said. I even hope Beckham has a mare.

There is no doubt that I want United to win (especially for financial issues, elimination at this stage will make the situation far worse) but I hope Dinho plays OK.

Btw, I think we will sell Vidic to Real as well. I hate the fact that we sell all of our good players to Real:
Beckham
Ruud
Heinze
Ronaldo

Mind you, could work in our favour if we sell Vida to Real, apparently we're looking at Benzema again. I love the papers trying to say City will buy Vida - he wants to leave Manchester because his wife is unsettled, he's hardly going to go across to the council house is he?

Oh and Ronaldo has hinted he might return to United in the future.

 

[kp41]

when he is 30, give me a break.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Do you guys still want Benzema? He was poor for Madrid apparently and his goal scoring rate is almost similar as Berbatov's. But on the other hand he's 21 so has a lot of potential. Not sure if he'll gonna be worth the quid (~40 millions?)

Yeah saw the article about Ronaldo. But will we ever be able to afford him back? High price and high salary. If it happens, its not gonna happen in the near future definitely. Maybe sometime when his contract expires when he's 32 or something.

 

[kp41]

I can't trust or believe that guy. How many times he said that he loves to stay?

I like players like Giggs, Scholes and Rooney who play with passion and love our precious kit (There is nothing wrong with Ronaldo, he can play wherever he likes, he simply doesn't belong here anymore).

Just compare his interviews with Beckham.

 

[1966+2006]

Looking forward to the CL again. I really don't like it when we play 4-5-1, but since we don't really have a fully functional striking partnership to rely on, it would prob be better to start off with 4-5-1 away from home, after all.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Should be something like that I guess:

--------------VDS----------------
----------------------------------
Rafael---Vidic*---Ferdinand---Evra
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
--------Fletcher--Carrick----------
------------Scholes---------------
----------------------------------
Nani--------------------------Park
-------------Rooney--------------

* he's supposed to be fit for this game. If not, then Evans.

Can't wait for that game. I am confident about it. We should try to get as many away goals as possible. A win will be great but if we draw or lose I hope we get a lot of away goals.

 

[1966+2006]

We just have to hope that Scholes doesn't get sent off or an early booking.

 

[cfdemarco]

I am so pissed, Setanta isn't showing the game. Instead they are showing City/Stoke live and then airing Lyon/Madrid after that.

So now I can't watch the game

[Pogba4Now]

Vidic and Anderson have been ruled out of the game once again. Anderson once again left out for the 4th consecutive game I think. He's not even injured.

Full squad: Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak; Neville, Brown, J Evans, Ferdinand, Fabio, Rafael, Evra; Valencia, Park, Nani, Obertan, Scholes, Fletcher, Carrick, Gibson; Rooney, Berbatov, Owen, Diouf.

The only worrying thing is that if a central midfielder gets injured, we only have Gibson as backup. Unless we revert back to 4-4-2.

Out of those players, my team would be:

--------------Van der Sar-------------

Brown-----Ferdinand---Evans-------Evra

------Carrick----Scholes-----Fletcher-----

Valencia------------------------------Park

-----------------Rooney------------------

Subs: Kuszczak, Rafael, Neville, Gibson, Nani, Berbatov, Owen

Shame Giggsy's injured, could use his experience in a game like this one. I went for Brown at RB because I feel Rafael is a bit naive defensively at times (see the penalty that never was against City for example) and up against Ronaldinho I just wouldn't, although I think Fergie will pick him.

Valencia over Nani, simply because I just like him more. Both have got ability and Nani has been doing really well lately, but then against Valencia didn't do anything wrong. I reckon Fergie will pick Nani as well.

Then we have Berba and Owen in reserve in case it isn't working out. Hopefully we can get an away goal to bring back with us and try to keep it tight (if its 3-0 like last time, which I doubt, then it would be too steep a task imo).

 

[mnj2x]

I think it will be same team that played against Arsenal. Maybe Rio in for brown which I dont know if its a good idea. Rio has hardly any match fitness after coming back from injury. Remember how vidic performed at the san siro on that 3-0 night.

Seriously, I hope we get a result. We are due one over them.

 

[kp41]

Milan were so inconsistent during this season and United just got their rhythm.

It's very hard to predict this match, but it will be close.
