Manchester United Thread [2011/2012]

Because Suárez is one of them and the incident is very recent, but best thing they could do is ignore Evra...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I feel like avoiding Evra for the handshake did kind of seem like Suarez doesn't consider Evra fully human. Evra went out of his way to say everything will be sorted if Suarez just shakes his hand, and that retard skipped right over him.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Apparently Suarez had promised Dagliesh and the rest of the Liverpool team before the match that he would shake hands, then changed his mind. And then Kenny decided to defend him anyway. What a nice club.

This is the case indeed. They see him as one of theirs. A bit strange IMO, cause here in Holland we all know how crazy he can be. In his Ajax days he bit Bakkal (PSV) in his neck, he made "sniffing cocaine" gestures to Reis (he had an addiction), he was constantly diving and abusing players (confirmed by some players) etc and yet it is impossible for them to consider that abusing Evra is a possibility.... He was and still is one of the most hated players, only the Ajax supporters love him... They actually blame Evra for not taking Suarez' abuse as a man and they see him as being a wuss for reporting it to the FA....

 

[clash]

I wouldn't be so surprised if it was any other club (eg. if the match would be against Feyenoord and if Suarez would have played for them), but I thought Ajax fans' would be different. I mean their hooligans beat the **** out of nazi scum from the EDL while they tried to meet dutch far-right ****s in Amsterdam.

We best win this if they plan on booing Evra. He can do his little dance again.

 

[Jaboldinho]

I just realized that unless you count Raheem Sterling as first team there is not a single black in the Liverpool first team squad. It must be so long since that was last the case from a British team aiming at European qualification

Johnson?

 

[Arnau]

Athletic - Man united 1/4 final would be awesome

 

[adedawson]

Is it me or do united look like they cant be bothered... i was expecting more effort.

slow, not passing with tempo, guys just standing around...

 

[Pogba4Now]

Yeah boring game for the most part. we are in a good position with 2 away goals.

[MaestroZidane]

What a play.

 

[1966+2006]

Would rather have a 1-0 lead and Valencia fit. He's probably out for a month. Most definitely the last player we want out at the moment.

 

[Pogba4Now]

I remember Rooney making an exact same assist last season or season before that. I think it might have been Chicharito the scorer.

 

[Mint]

That's some awesome build up play that.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Valencia is made to play with Wayne Rooney. They really get the best out of each other. No co-incidence that, when Rooney had his **** period, he came good again exactly when Valencia came back from long term injury.

 

[Daz]

Valencia has been superb this season, up until now i think he was averaging around an assist a game. Huge blow to lose him. Always a fan of how he plays, he's so strong and direct.

 

[RockShow]

Yes Valencia is awesome, wish he wasnt SO right footed though.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Yeah this makes him very predictable sometimes. More than half his crosses are blocked because defenders know when he's gonna cross. Otherwise he's awesome. I love the way he uses his strength and speed to get past players.

He's out for 4 weeks btw. Muscle rupture. Good thing that Young just returned from injury. This will now allow Nani to play on the right and we all know Nani plays best on the right.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Have you been satisfied with Young's contribution so far this season?
