Manchester United Thread [2007/2008]

I thought Ferguson blew it when he brought on John O'Shea for Anderson. That handed the initiative for Chelsea to attack. Still if Chelsea were to be champions this season, they will deserved it because its the league table, despite them being a dreadful team. But cheer up boys, I'm sure we will win.

Fergie blew it by leaving Ronaldo and Tevez out in the first place. It was only through luck that we got a goal in the first place. Chelski murdered us in the first half - I agree it was also stupid to take Anderson out as well. Typical luck in the last five minutes we concede a dubious penalty (I thought it hit his thigh) and yet Ronaldo can be wrestled in the box.

Congratulations to Chelsea - They've just won the league, I really think West Ham will go all out to repeat the 1995 title denial.

Thanks Fergie, thanks a lot.

I thought the O'Shea change was far too early still with 25 minutes to go. You are absolutely right, United were controlling the play before that with Chelsea restricted only to counter-attacks. And O'Shea didn't do that much at all, while Anderson could have easily defended or attacked when needed. Out of all players he was trying the hardest to keep the ball. Carrick and Fletcher were playing way worse than Anderson.

Gutted. Absolutely gutted
hope the recent draws will be a provide a some motivation to do better and run across the finish line.

Chelsea has to face Newcastle away and Bolton at home.

We deserved a freaking point...our 2nd half performance was much better. Thanks Mr linesman! now west ham will be out to ruin our season.

Crucial 2 weeks of our season and we have yet to win.... my arse and liverpool friends will be eagerly waiting to rub it in if we somehow end up trophyless.

I think Fergie was trying to play it defensive a bit too early. He might have been expecting that Chelsea would lump it forward to Drogba as they always do. Fergie was probably looking for O'shea to intercept and perhaps head some balls away given his height.

 

[Dipanjan]

what the hell?Who will pay the money for the broken cups and plates in my room now?

Yes,Thanks to Fergie's Strange Tactics over the last two games I think our season is now, practically over!

Why the hell Vidic gets in the wrong plcae at the wrong time so often?Why do we have to concede last minutes goal(always)?I feel gutted!

I am feeling sad for Ronaldo now..

 

[garlei]

Our season is far from over. Have some faith man. Get behind the team, we are still in the running.

Effin Shevchenko....25 mil goal line defender...

 

[Fernandez]

Cheer up guys. The season's not yet over. This is the time to show how strong we are. I thought the defence was brilliant.

 

[b-ytter]

No surprise! without Teves and Ronaldo we aint that dangerous upfront,and Rooney looking injured for most of his time on the pitch,did not help eighter!
some people claim that the ball hit carrick's knee not his hand,but i can't really see.
Chelsea wanted it more and deserved to win,congrat's to them!
level at point's with a big goal advantage,all we have to do is win our games and we are there,not looking bad at all!

 

[mnj2x]

do you realise that we have not been winning games recently.... its easier said than done.

On paper yes we should beat west ham and wigan but they will be out to spoil the party. Right now i just want the league.... After fighting so hard throughout the season i will not be able bear it if united throw it away.

 

[Zakov]

Its good to see Utd fans gracious in defeat, fair play to yer lot...its still in your hands, btw, I don't know why some of you are saying the season's over.

 

[Help?]

People that live from Saturday to Saturday always take defeats very hard and personal. To me, there are far more important things in life than winning the 07/08 EPL title, although that would be very nice.




PS. don't you just love members that neg you calling you "gloryhunter", but never leave their name. As if its gonna hurt in some way. Infact, that only makes me feel like they are the gloryhunters. Too scared to start an attack and show your name? Then your confidence must be horrible and a ****ty life as a result, i bet.

Sorry m8, that came out of nowhere and I didn't catch what you were on about..........was that aimed at me?

 

[Help?]

No, that was aimed at the low life that leaves negative reputation comments, but too scared to leave his name, so that people wouldn't attack his already low confidence.

No matter, its not like i care, i just find it funny, how some people hide behind the anonymus option as if its gonna make them feel better.

Winning today would have been the best but we did not,so if we can't win the remaining games and chelsea win there games,they sure deserve it and we don't!
if we are depending on other team's to fail instead of winning our own games there must be somthing wrong!
Again: all we have to do is win the games!!

 

[Help?]

what is that suppose to mean?

It means i got a job, school, bills, housing and friends that are more important to me than having United win this year's title. If it was either lose the title or lose a friend or **** up in any of the things previously mentioned, but impossible for both, i think the choice would be pretty obvious.

phew, he's better than riiise tho.

I'm still as gutted as I was an hour ago. I honestly believe the momentum has shifted to Chelsea. I said before I didn't fancy United needing a result from West Ham (who always play like they're in a World Cup Final against us) or Wigan (Fighting for survival)

Also I think this is the time for Fergie to ask himself some serious questions about playing defensive - United just do not function as well in a 4-5-1, it was painfully obvious from the Barca game and again today.

It was an extra insult that it was a penalty that really did the final piece of damage, but Fergie's tactics were halfway there - Also leaving out a player who is unquestionably the best in the world right now in a game against your title rivals, is puzzling to say the least.
