Manchester United Thread [2011/2012]

Chica's da man. i missed the first half. but the second was entertaining. was surprised at the lineup myself. i think fergi was actually resting all of his players that had big international breaks. Rooney;s being big in terms of media fall out.
with that starting lineup i cant say that i am disappointed with the result, just sad city are currently top.

 

[Pogba4Now]

City is on top because the best team they have played against so far is Tottenham. We have already played against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham and we are just 2 points behind them. I am confident we will surpass them. They have yet to be tested against a top team. Kind of like Chelsea of last year. They had a brilliant start because their first games were Hull, West Brom etc.

Oh, you are right of course, but it still smarts

Man united can beat city to the bpl title but the champions league will not be easy with great teams like barca and madrid.unless we get an amazing midfield

Unless WE get an amazing midfield? Do you happen to have a brother named Paolo or one that's a poet?

Please don't start another "You're not a real fan. Yes, I am" discussion. Do it via PM.

Anyone up for a first CL match win in 3 this season?

I think he'll probably rest a few players for the City match, but it should really be a comfortable win. Any predictions?

 

[Pogba4Now]

It is extremely important to win this game. If we end up in second place, we might have to face Barca and crash down early in the competition. We absolutely don't want this to happen. We MUST finish first.

Difficult to predict this game because I have no idea what team Fergie will field and our form has been bad lately. I think Fergie will rest both Ferdinand and Vidic for this game to keep them fresh for the City game. We have more than enough cover in defence to play in their place for the UCL game. If I was Fergie I would rest many of the players. We have enough quality players on our bench to win that game. for e.g. Park, Valencia on the wings to rest Nani and Young. Carrick and Fletcher to rest Anderson and Cleverley.

It's usually the away games with "weak" eastern-european teams that cause the biggest upsets in the group phase. Thankfuly Galati is not Moscow and the weather factor won't play that big of a role. I guess we're going to get a 1-0 out if it. Underrating the opponent, bad form and the pressure to beat the team that most didn't even knew exists before the grup draw.

Oh come on man. A dude with a Madrid avatar, a sig with Ronaldo and Messi, who refers to United as "we"? He deserves to get called out.

 

[1966+2006]

I'm not saying he shouldn't get called out. But it's just extremely tiring when there's a discussion about it here. He can just do it via PM.

 

[Adil_7]

I put a sig with messi and cr7 coz i couldnt find a sig with madrid ana man utd together

 

[MaSsiVe]

this one would suit you better, Adil. I can resize it in case you actually want to use it.

 

[Pogba4Now]

I missed the game because I totally forgot about it.

How did we do? I saw Rooney scored 2 penalties. That was pretty much our first team playing and I am disappointed that we only won with 2 penalties. Will watch the highlights later.

 

[Adil_7]

2 penalties from wayne rooney.Vidic was controversially sent off.it wasnt a red.just a yellow was appropriate

can you resize it to make it to my avatar and signature ?

Only controversial to ManU fans. That was a red. Flew in studs first, didn't come close to the ball, and gave an extra thrust of his leg once the ball was already kicked. I don't know how much contact was made, but the intent was malicious.

 

[Back Door Skip]

That was a retarded and unnecessary challenge. The red was just.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Ehhh... I don't know. I usually don't like to see reds unless it's from behind or extremely malicious (De Jong in the WC Final, everything Roy Keane ever did). Most people would probably consider that a red though.

 

[Arnau]

the intent was malicious.

I don't think so, deserved red card though.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Only controversial to ManU fans.

Come on shut up. You always generalize things about Man Utd fans. Only Adil said it was "controversial" and he doesn't even look like a United supporter. It was a red no doubt. Adil does not represent all United fans.
