Manchester United F.C Thread [2010/2011]

[Mandieta6]

"Obsession"? I'm just using Anelka as an example. Thats it! I think Anelka is brilliant, but he's very similar to Berbatov, so I'd rather we have a different type of player on the bench.

I never said Chicharito is better than Anelka. I just said that I'd rather have Chicharito on the bench because he's the kind of player who could completely change a game when coming on. How many winners did he score this season? I doubt it another player would do that no matter how good he is. Hernandez is a super-sub type of player. He is more effective coming off the bench than starting a game.

It's possible I might have confused you with someone else, but I was under the impression you had continuously used Anelka in your examples about how the ManU attack is better than others.

 

[Help?]

Gary Neville has announced his retirement today. Its for the best of the team, however he is a true United legend. Played for us all his career.

Our March 1st match with Chelsea might be postponed until May, if Chelsea advance in the F.A. Cup.

I think that would definitely benefit us if it happens.

Obviously it's great for United. Fergie can't make a buffoon of himself by actually picking him anymore.

I wish I could argue that point, but it's absolutely true. He was so outmatched physically those last couple years, it was just painful.

Man how unlucky are we playing twice against a much strenghtened Chelsea side during the run in......those two games can make or break our title challenge. If cfdemarco is right about postponing one of the games to the end of the season, that could benefit us a lot

 

[Pogba4Now]

Some of Neville's moments:



He was probably the best RB in his generation in crossing the ball.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah, with Becks and Neville on that right side it's no wonder United won so many titles in a row.

Nothing has been confirmed yet as far as I know...it depends on how Chelsea does in the F.A. Cup. If they advance, it was reported that the United/Chelsea game might be moved back to May. It was in an article on ESPN.

If that happens, I do think it will benefit us. I say, put off the hard games as long as possible, give us a chance to keep on racking up points.

Perhaps by the time we have to play Chelsea twice right at the end, we will have already secured enough points to win the league, and the games will be meaningless.

The pressure is pretty much entirely on Chelsea, I imagine they feel they'll have to beat us twice to have a real chance.

Away to Wolverhampton today...hope we come out strong and aggressive.

Hopefully newcastle can do us a favour later

and I would like a devastating away performance.

Well we can forget about Newcastle doing us a favour, they messed it up just after 40 seconds. I wouldn't be suprised if they raised their game against us.......useless idiots

 

[cfdemarco]

HAHA! Arses conceded 4 in the second half. First time in Premiership history a team has failed to win after going 4 up.

 

[ladylover]

Wow, I am taking back every single word I said about Newcastle.....what a fantastic result, getting back after being 4-0 down.....that can only happen to Arsenal. Wenger will need a psych for this.....

 

[Pogba4Now]

thats what happens when you play with Evans.

 

[cfdemarco]

Embarrassing first half.

I have a feeling this is the day we lose.

I'll say what no one has talked about yet...VDS is not that good anymore. He has let in some pretty cheap goals this season. Wolves' first goal today, for example...how do you get beaten by a header from 10 yards out?

We need to come out SHARP for the second half and now need at least 2, as a draw is simply not acceptable against the bottom team in the table.

 

[Pogba4Now]

VDS is still as good as ever. What the hell are you talking about? These 2 goals were impossible to save.

I blame Evans for the second goal. And the whole defense for the first goal.

EDIT: I don't see us losing this TBH. We are trying hard. Only reason why we are trailing right now is Evans and the defense. They had 2 shots on goal only and scored both of them. Evans really sucks when it comes to headers. Smalling is way better than him at that.

 

[mnj2x]

'kin hell.. what the hell we cant seem to keep a lead anymore. and Wolves game raising cnuts. When are we gonna have a straightforward away win. Still have faith in the team though.

I disagree...the first goal shouldn't have happened. I just watched it again on replay. There was no power on the cross, and there was no power on the header, and from his body language VDS should've been able to anticipate that he was going far post with it. I think it was a cheap goal to give up.

I agree on Evans though, he is pretty much garbage and on top of that he's just a dork, he has no business playing for United. Smalling should definitely be in there.

 

[cfdemarco]

15 minutes to go...we're gonna lose.

 

[mnj2x]

GUTTED!! Rooney was crap. I thought he should have came off for hernandez.
God i hate this feeling. Gonna ruin my weekend and possibly the entire week
