Manchester United F.C Thread [2010/2011]

[newbie original]

Just saw this on ESPN...please let it happen!

They've given you:
1. Multiple Appearances in the final of the most prestigious tournament in the sport.....a tournament that is harder to win than the World Cup because it truly is best on best.
2. A Champions League title
3. Multiple titles in the most lucrative domestic league on the planet
4. 3 of your 4 overall League Cup titles

They've left the "football decisions" to football people, which has worked out splendidly and made you the envy of every club on the face of the Earth.

And you can't appreciate and/or recognize that they have helped your club when it seemed like power had shifted to London, for good?

Quite frankly, to non-Man Utd fans with any morsel of common sense, posts like yours are nothing more than an eyesore.

2 Thumbs down......way down!

All these were down to Alex Ferguson. He invested in Ronaldo and Rooney 1 or 2 seasons before Glazers came in. Since Glazers came in, our expenditure minus income sales has been about 20 millions pounds only in 6 years. We haven't even used the Ronaldo money yet.

Good thing about Glazer is that he didn't interfere much with Uniteds' transfers like Abramovic for example. But the longer they are here, we'll still be in dept. Maybe this is not affecting us that much in the short term, but thats worrying for the long term.

I don't really believe the Qatar rumors btw. How many times have we been linked with takeovers? Besides, the source says "with a "well-placed" source quoted as saying: ..." which makes me think thats just newspaper selling stuff.

Btw, random but a funny/interesting quote from Owen:

“Scoring the winner in the derby last season was one of those moments where the adrenaline takes over and everything goes blank,” Owen told the official site. “You literally have to wait until you get home and watch the replay to see how you reacted. Your mind goes blank and you do everything on instinct.

I had no idea how I celebrated or who I celebrated with. Actually, I was looking at all my Prozone stats a few days after the game – they tell you how many passes you’ve made, how far you’ve run and track all the sprints you do during a game. My fastest sprint during that match was actually while I was celebrating the winner. I’m not sure if that’s something to be proud of, but I found it quite amusing [laughs]! It was the adrenaline…”

Looks like everyone wants to see how we respond after our 1st defeat of the season. We will show 'em.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Starting XI:

VDS;

O’Shea, Vidic, Smalling, Evra;

Nani, Fletcher, Scholes, Anderson, Giggs;

Rooney.​

Subs: Lindegaard, Rafael, Brown, Carrick, Berbatov, Owen, Hernández

WTF. Berba not starting? Who will score our goals? Rafael on the bench in favour of OSHEA? Dear god.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Nani again...getting better and better by the day , surely one of the most exciting players to watch in modern football.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Supernani! 10 goals and 12 assists. Our most important player this season.

 

[Pogba4Now]

C*ty with the flukiest goal ever. **** them.

 

[MaSsiVe]

oh man, Rooney with the wonder goal!

 

[Pogba4Now]

Whaatt the ****. What a goal. Never thought he'd score from that. Astonishing.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Looking at our fixtures, we have to play Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool away (+ Chelsea home). We have won only 3 away games. This gotta change or else we'll have to say goodbye to the title. This is quite worrying. Arsenal only has 1 tough game left... And thats us. We better not **** up and start playing well away.

If I am correct, Arsenal also have an away game to the Spurs....

 

[1966+2006]

What a ridiculous goal.

 

[night]

So.. Rooney vs City or Berbatov vs Liverpool?

 

[Mus]

Marchisio's was better

 

[Pogba4Now]

video?

EDIT: nevermind found it:



Awesome.

 

[Help?]

Nah no way. He had way more time to adjust his body and the ball was almost falling down slowly on him. Rooney's goal was a ball coming strong from the side with pace. And on top of it, Rooney hit it far side into the top corner, this one is just under.

 

[1966+2006]

Smalling was probably one of the best performers yesterday.

You gotta be kidding. I'm not commenting on which goal was better (I'd probably go with Rooney actually), but clearly Rooney had a LOT more time to set up and time his shot.

 

[mnj2x]

The situations were different. To pull it off when your team needed a win in an highly intense derby is somethin different altogether.

Yeah he had more time overall, but the ball was coming in at a faster pace, at least it seemed like it did to me. Its almost like throwing the ball in the air yourself and then trying to do an overhead kick compared to having somebody cross from the side and try to do an overhead kick. You might have more time watching the guy cross then see the ball drop from over your head, but its harder to pull off.
