Torres you suck.

Don't be soo mean. Torres deserved that goal!!!

 

[Gareth Bale]

Anyway, when we beat Spurs in the FA Cup semi's 5-1 we had a ghost goal as you may remember (one against Liverpool too, so I'm sure you do). But a GAFer claims that we flucked the game because of that goal. You know, ignoring the other four. It's claimed that the ghost goal, going to 2-0, killed the game off. This really couldn't be further from the truth, because Spurs actually picked up after it and came back to score almost immediately.

I could almost understand such a claim if that goal had of taken the wind out of Spurs sales, but it simply didn't. Then we popped another 3 in and the rest is history.

Just looking at the times the goals were scored that would be true, but there's a lot to be said for how much we had to open up after going 2-0 down. It's really pointless to discuss this though.

What a pussy.

He's a family man. His kids are no longer babies, so the process of adaptation would be gruelingly cruel for them. Plus, it's not like they are going through hunger here in Mexico.

 

[Fry]

nothing new about that

Also nothing new about your predictable, piss poor trolling.

 

[jtb]

I do hope that Andre Santos' little run-in with the law will force Wenger's hand to buy, ya know, a half decent full back. Preferably one that isn't overweight and shit.

edit: also, really happy I made Hazard my fantasy captain. He's had no trouble settling (or playing against bottom half teams, at least), it seems.

If only Arsenal hadn't sold Cole or Clichy.

Standard of goalkeeping so far has been horrendous

 

[Soi-Fong]

So, for Saturday, do United fans here want Carrick back at CB if all our CB's are still injured or give Wooton a chance?

Also, Rafael at RB or leave Valencia there?

And finally, should we drop Rooney to the bench or give him one more chance and have him in CAM moving Kagawa to LAM?

Thoughts?

If you mean for PL, De Gea has been pretty good. Saved United from getting a horrendous scoreline.

Edit:

Vidic has to buff up. lol

Just watching an interview with Arsene from a couple of years ago and he was comparing our financial power to Aston Villa & Newcastle.

We have the financial power of a League 2 team now it seems. :lol Then again, our spending sprees resulted in us getting relegated so YAY!

 

[Clegg]

Its easy to see why City and United were after Hazard. Technically sound footballer and a great dribbler. He would have suited Uniteds system down to the ground imo. We could have had Hazard playing as a wing forward on the left, nani on the right and Kagawa in the middle. Thats obviously not going to happen now but it would have been a very exciting trio of attacking players to have.

United have bought well imo but now we have the problem of how to fit RVP, Rooney and Kagawa into the same team. Most likely we'll have RVP up front, Rooney in the hole and Kagawa on the left. I suppose the best solution would be for Rooney and Kagawa to rotate with each other and with RVP sometimes dropping deep to link up with support runners. The biggest problem on Monday night was Rooney and Kagawa taking up each others space. It congested the field and made it easy for Everton to close down our players. When Kagawa got the ball in some free space, he looked lethal.

If United can develop a system that suits these 3 players then we'll have a world class attack.

 

[Hixx]

Hopefully Reading will be fucked after tonights exertions, let Fletch and AJ go wild on sat

 

[Salvadora]

Didn't know Arsene had a masters in economics.

Gohan's second goal here is class

I think there was a player named Goku playing for Granada. :lol

As much as I want Kagawa in the hole, it'll be better overall if he plays in the left as Rooney can no longer dribble for crap. As long as Rooney pays attention, him and Kagawa should be able to interchange between left and middle without stepping on each other's toes. I just seriously hope that the work-rate increases.

                   De Gea

                   Kagawa

No RVP? And 4-4-1-1.. You serious?

Nickname. Role model.

Not liking the Clev/Ando midfield combo. Neither are the best defensively. We'll be left very exposed.

Please dont share the link. I think it would depress both of us.

Young? Has everyone redirected their hatred for him on to Nani and forgiven his sins or something?

 

[Soi-Fong]

He should aim to buff up like Gohan. Then dye his hair blond to become a super-saiyan.

Then United can say we have the first super-saiyan in the league.

 

[Salvadora]

I won't because it shows footage of Cesc and all the old players, It makes me sad

 

[Soi-Fong]

I wish Kagawa would dye his hair blonde-orange like Honda, then he'd be easier to spot. lol

 

[rodvik]

Dont I am going to get all misty.

Right now our club could have Barry, Milner, Young and Cahill...

 

[Clegg]

Rooney is undroppable imo. He shouldn't be, but he plays most games regardless of form. Mostly because even if he plays like shite, he's likely to score a goal. But we have RVP now so even if Rooney weren't to play, we'd still have a world class striker on the pitch.If Nani is in poor form we can now deploy Kagawa on the left.

Its good to have options.

 

[Yen]

Yeah

With the way Nani played, he better seriously prove that he deserves a better contract. If I was Ferguson, I'd be willing to give him one more chance Saturday.

It really does me me sad not just because where we could be with those players , But just how much our squad has changed even to this day. Arsene seems the only constant, For us at least.

 

[rodvik]

Yeah

Hey they may not be world class players but damn they were fine for us.

Rodgers continues to make a tit of himself over carroll

Hey Brendan, you wouldnt be having these offers which insult you.... if, you know, you hadnt put a "for sale, no longer wanted" sign over the lads head.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Alright lads, I'm off for Reading. Won't know the scores until Monday like I say, so will come home, watch MOTD like I don't know a bloody thing and then pop on to catch up.

Have a good one GAF. Come on United

Spoiler

and Liverpool

You are the worst kind of person, enjoy your trench foot and dysentery, oh and take the wristband off when you get home.

Bloody students!

I actually saw Rovers win a game tonight, up into 4th, Champions League spot that!

Also Tiote and Cabaye did a fusion dance to form Tiote Cabaye.

For as much stick as he gets, Carroll with his age and his ability to play a certain way, is worth more than £12 million. Newcastle's offer is a joke, they know it, and so does we.

 

[WJD]

If I was Ferguson, I'd be willing to give him one more chance Saturday.

oh sweet jesus

 

[Salvadora]

Have you guys seen Nigella Lawson recently? Best looking 52 year old ever

 

[Lunchbox]

Raf in.

playing valencia rb just stifles him so much. he was the clubs most consistent player on the right wing last season

making him trackback and mark people instead of busting a gut on the break is stupid

 

[rodvik]

Of course he is. But there is only one reason the bids are so low and thats because of the way Rodgers has handled this making Liverpool seem desperate to get rid of him.

Just bloody stupid. The lad is at least a 15M striker imho and he is young.

 

[Clydefrog]

Weird scoring for my fantasy team. 79 points from the midfield/defense and 5 pts from the front line. LOL

 

[Mumei]

Wow. You guys really outdid yourselves with the material. I was reading the ZonalMarking website between morons and I didn't see everything else until just now.

a) she looks like that nobhead Russel Brand if he'd had a shave. But with great boobs.
b) Carol Vorderman wants a word.

I honestly think he could do well for a club that isn't Liverpool.

gtfo with that shit

I still dont see how she ended up being so good looking. Her dad is one of the ugliest men in the history of Britain and thats some pretty tough competition he was up against.

Can't handle the truth?

oh sweet jesus

I would be afraid too, but you know how inconsistent Nani is. But when he's good, he's amazing.

 

[Meier]

Wow. You guys really outdid yourselves with the material. I was reading the ZonalMarking website between morons and I didn't see everything else until just now.

As someone else mentioned, the Swiss Ramble is definitely worth a read. Very interesting and insightful stuff from him. More focused on the finances of football/soccer though.
