Oh well, I was hoping for some pure inspiration like that goal he scored against Arsenal when he lobbed the keeper.

whats wrong with arsenal, its not the same them being crap
vanNistelrooy
30-11-2006, 09:52
It makes it better them being crap. It means we get to laugh at their stupid rambles of how "they play the most attractive football". Shame they just lost their 3rd league game in a row, was it? West Ham, Bolton and now Fulham?
What does everyone think of Evra? Last season I thought he was pretty poor but this season he has come on leaps and bounds, he is playing so well I think Fergie will have problems dropping to fit Heinze in.
Evra has shown an absoloutley phenomenal improvement. It was only kast season when some reds were labelling him as the worst ever United player, this season he's been very consistant. As for Vidic, he's the type of player it's very easy to like. He's strong, a tough tackler and his performance against Bolton was one of the reasons we made a difficult away look like a walk in the park.
Still haven't had a chance to discuss the Chewsee match, but I'm fairly pleased with the result. I went into the game with the mindset that if we avoided defeat then we would still be in the running for the championship, and we did that very well.
Chelsea came to OT with a gamplan which was to defend and frustrate United and leave with a point. The difference was that when they went a goal down they changed their system and their formation, and in the end they got the point they deserved. Had they come here to win, it may have been a different story. It was a poor game, and after Chelsea went ahead they shut up shop again. It was also frustrating to see United change our game plan to basically play into the hands of Chelsea. When they levelled the score, we brought on O'Shea and Fletcher, neither of whom are good enough to play for United, and both teams were playing for a point. I'm not sure if that shows fear of Chelsea, from SAF, either way United should not be bringing on O'Shea and Fletcher at home against title contenders. End of.
Just hope for some serious spending in the January window.

3 good goals last night, clever of Ronaldo to just hit it away from the keeper first time, Evra really surprised that was an excellentfinish through the keepers legs, and O' Shea does not score shit goals, both Evra and Vidic have been really good this season, Vidic has made the Cb role his won and Heinze cant get a look in at the moment, anybody see Citys last goal yesterday, that was excellent play by Distin

This guy's probably right. I think we don't have players for numbers 10, 12, 17, 21, 25, 26 and 28.
On one of the write ups, I read the Henrik said about seeing where this move leads. Kind of implying about a permanent move?!
I can't see that happening unless he does really well, otherwise he will be gone in March, this makes it look like we won't be signing a striker in January.

Starting line up to face Boro:
van Der Sar
Neville
Ferdinand
Vidic
Heinze
Ronaldo
Scholes
Fletcher
Giggs
Saha
Rooney
I think Boro are gonna go 5-3-2 again, like they did when they hammered us 4-1 last season.
Fletcher and Scholes? Where is Carrick?
He is on the bench, dunno why he isn't starting he has been our best player of late.
vanNistelrooy
02-12-2006, 17:15
Fletcher always seems to do well against Boro, but I'd still play Carrick over him.
Score predictions? I'd bite your hand off if you offered me 1-0 now.
I think 3-1 to United, Giggs (2), Scholes.
vanNistelrooy
02-12-2006, 17:38
1-0 Saha (pen)
Chris Foy = Mr Man Utd :)
Only saw one replay, but I'm not convinced it was a penalty. Looked as if Ronaldo dragged in behind himself a bit.
EDIT: He dived.
mufcsean
02-12-2006, 19:27
He did dive but oh well :D, Giggs played rather poo apart from the cross which set Feltcher up, should have done better when trying to clear the ball when they scored
vanNistelrooy
02-12-2006, 19:29
What I loved about the Fletcher goal was the tannoy system announcing the Boro goalscorer :lol:
Scholes was awesome. Sky Sports giving Rooney MoTM shows how little they know about football. Or they said "Well man of the match was clearly Paul Scholes, but as he doesn't really do interviews, fuck it, we'll give it to Wayne again!"
True, Paul Scholes was easily the best player on the pitch, Fletcher also had a good game aswell as scoring the winning goal.

02-12-2006, 19:47
Fletcher did play well. Quick to close the opposition down and hurry them into mistakes.
Ronaldo was getting mega abuse tonight. Especially for the penalty decision. I had a good view and it looked like he genuinely got clipped and stumbled as opposed to blatent diving. Any help with this ?
Although it looked like he dived soon after to win a free-kick.
It was a dive, it is blatent when you see it on a replay.

Oh well, guess it was convincing. It was hilarious when the ball boy kicked the ball into VDS's stomach and he gave the little kid a death stare. :laugh:
Vidic was a beast in the air today, sure he headbutted someones arm when trying to win a second consecutive header. :laugh:

Can't really blame the ref about the penalty. Seeing it first time on full speed it looked a penalty.
so the dive everyone is going on about what was it like would you have given it or not? was it any good :tongue:
vanNistelrooy
02-12-2006, 21:07
At first sight I wasn't convinced, it being Ronaldo may have been the reason for this. Rooney should have done better with the rebound though, just incase he didn't give it.
i will have to watch this tonight on match of the day :)

Definately a dive, can't see how SAF can say it was a penalty though.

He can say it was a penalty because Boro DESERVE to conceed a penalty for signing Xavier then RESIGNING Xavier.
Scummy ronaldo. I just want to kick him square in the nuts. The watch him fall down, and then proceed to apply more well placed kicks into his groin, abdomen and cranium

03-12-2006, 06:52
oh well, once a diver always a diver ... his performances week in week out should counter the dive
He blatently dived for the free-kick but I'm not so sure about the penalty. I really think he didn't dive, just fell, either way it shouldn't have been a penalty.

I don't even know why Ronaldo dived for the penalty. He would have scored if he hadn't have gone down.
Why would he sacrifice his own chance to score, to take a chance on Saha scoring from the spot? Doesn't make any sense.
It's a shame he was diving again, because he really has been a lot better this season in that regard. He hasn't dived much at all in previous games.

Exactly my thoughts on him. His pace alone can tear players apart. He did very well for our second goal yesterday. Busted a gut to get in the area when no one else would and showed great composure to lay it back to Giggs. I thought he would have done his usual and shoot from a silly angle.

I've only seen him in person once, when we trounced Everton 5-1 at Old Trafford. I'll remember that for another reason though. A fan shouting at Xavier and calling him a "fucking dildohead". Had me in stitches that did.
whats up with the "bazooka" celebrations?!?!?
mufcsean
04-12-2006, 12:50
Dunno but i wish somebody would shove a Bazooka up Fletcher and O' Shea's arses, and vN when i read that i nearly pissed myself, i love stupid commenst like that
What I really want to know is why the fuck we throw toilet roll onto the pitch when we score now ? I assume it is just one fan continuing with this strange foreign-esque trend.
Saha's doing like @#$*@@#**^%%!#(won/t swear gonna get sent off i think never read the rules lol)[If there r any rules] missing lots of chances Cristiano struggled to give him a ball he just ran past it n a scummy blue just kikced it forward.
Even though, Saha has made a DOUBLE scoring a goal against Chelsea and one FOR Chelsea. Carvalho headed the ball then it touched Saha n went in. If he hadn't been there VDS could have easily saved it!!!! Saha's been bad these days missing a penalty against Celtic.I didn't watch the game wasnt shown on TV n i don't have Satelite TV.So i get only maximum of two Man Utd premiership games per month.There is only 1 premiership match per week
i AGREE my comment on Saha was really pathetic sorry guys.Sorry, i'll do my best to be better and act more maturely in the future !!!!
Ronaldo didn't dive.
There doesn't have to be contact in order for a penalty to be given. In other words, Ronaldo didn't have to stay on his feet (like he has done all season, it has to be said) and wait for Schwarzer to potentially break his legs for it to be a foul. Just like Gerrard's penatly against Sheffield United on the opening day on the season, this was a penalty too. No contact, but denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Ronaldo and Rooney were very good, and Paul Scholes was magnificent. Even playing alongside Fletcher against a 5 man midfield he still ran the game for United.
If we win our next game we'll be nine points ahead of Chelsea, who play Arsenal next. Given that this time last season, I believe we were thirteen point behind Chelsea, it's a welcome boost especially considering the (lack of) optimism at the start of the season. We've spent the least out of any Premiership team in the summer, and we're playing magnificently. It's clear that we still need a stronger squad, but if Ronaldo and Rooney stay fit until January then we've always got the unlikely hope that Fergie will be given money to spend. And even if he doesn't we can't really complain. The Boro game summed up the fact that United have been great to watch this season, and the attitude of the players and their determination to win has been refreshing. Especially compared to last season's performance there.

Anyone found out what the bazooka type celebration was about?
And just to add, it was never a penalty.
I'm also looking forward to Larsson coming in and Saha being put on the bench :)
Whether or not they're penalties are another argument.
The fact is that the rules state that 'intent' is suitable ground for a foul. That's what Gerrard got a penalty on the first day of the season, that's what Ronaldo got sent off for against City last season, and that's what he got a penalty for last week.
I think almost any red would agree that Ronaldo lost his footing, after rounding the goalkeeper. The ref gave a penalty. Ronaldo didn't appeal for it, didn't brandish an imaginary card or anything else.
It's just funny that so much fuss has been made over Ronaldo 'diving' and not over Corradi or Rosicky.

TAKING AIM AT THEIR RIVALS
Manchester United may be top of the Barclays Premiership by six points going into this weekend's fixtures, but they are not above using extra help to try and snatch the title from the clutches of Chelsea. Even rocket launchers. Having scored 35 goals in 16 league games, they aren't exactly short of firepower, but Rio Ferdinand has been behind a scheme to really blow the Blues away.
Clues as to United's new tactics were seen when John O'Shea scored against Everton last week at Old Trafford, and Ferdinand led the way in the celebrations, kneeling on the pitch and waving around an imaginary rocket launcher. He did the same thing with Darren Fletcher when the mulleted Scotchman scored United's winner at Middlesbrough on Saturday, but what is it all about?
Unsurprisingly, given that professional footballers are involved, it's all about a video game. SOCOM 3: US Navy Seals, is the game in question, and it is apparently very popular with young men who have issues with violence, testosterone and machismo. This is where players from Man United and Chelsea come in, because they have been playing against each other on the game online.
A Man United source told The Sun: "They are deadly rivals at everything and computer games are no different. It's combat on and off the pitch." John Terry and Frank Lampard first introduced Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney to the game whilst on England duty, and since then players from both squads have been squaring off, so much so that United have incorporated it into their goal celebrations. Well, rather that than the 'rocking the baby' one...

For all we know he could just be imitating someone carrying a block of wood on his shoulder. I can't imagine anyone wanting to blow up someone else with a rocket launcher purely because Ferdinand and the United team use it as a celebration when they score. Whatever happened to banter eh ?
Thick twat ? Probably, yes.
I really do feel confident about the Citeh game, our defence is very strong and Neville is having a great season. I just hope Heinze can find his form as he hasn't really been impressive when he has played this season.

I think Stella's trying to argue how some of us did when Henry said "I stay on my feet, I don't dive like a woman" and he went to the World Cup and, well, dived like a woman.
What celebration are we talking about?
Ryan Giggs insists he is still fully focused on playing, despite being set to mark yet another significant landmark in his career on Saturday. United's most decorated player ever is set to make his 688th appearance against Manchester City at the weekend, to take him joint second with club great Bill Foulkes in United's all-time appearance list.Phenomenal. 688 appearances against Manchester City, that's a heck of a lot of games against a single club

Ronaldo Gets Player Of Month Award
Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo has been named Barclays Premiership player of the month for November after helping his side to keep hold of their place at the top of the Premiership.
Manchester United have moved six points clear of Chelsea and they were helped largely by Ronaldo's peformances.
The Portuguese winger scored against Portsmouth and Everton with superb goals and also created three goals for his team-mates.
Jim Hytner, from the Barclays Premiership awards panel, said: "Ronaldo has been in excellent form, putting in a string of outstanding performances on the wing.
"His strike against Portsmouth has got to be a contender for goal of the month."
Only yesterday, Wayne Rooney claimed that Ronaldo has taken a step forward as a player and a person since the controversy following the World Cup, and the award should pave the way for him to take another, though debate continues on the alleged diving incidents involving him.

Seriously though, hope for a good game today, I can't say I'd like to see you win because we need you to lose for our push for the title :mellow:.
Team for todays game,
Van der Sar
Neville
Ferdinand
Vidic
Heinze
Ronaldo
Carrick
Scholes
Giggs
Rooney
Saha
Probably the best starting 11 we have apart from maybe Evra for Heinze.

Corradi was foolish for diving, just hope Micah's OK...:(
Despite the scoreline, it was a very edgy game on occasions. We shown glimpses of "liquid football" and strung a good succession of passes together but the finishing needed to be better. Saha as we all know will never be clinical in one-on-one's and we just seemed a bit frustrated with shot attempts. Citeh done excellently closing Scholesy down, they recognised they need to prevent him shooting on the edge of the area and they did just that, it was annoying.

Who do you guys reckon will be our first team keeper next season? Ben Foster and Tim Howard have both been impressive at their respective clubs so far this season, and their loans will end at the end of this season I imagine, so either may return to us (although I can see Howard signing permanently for Everton). Van Der Sar will be 37 after a few months of next season, and Kuszczak would have signed for us permanently. So who will be our number 1 next year? :huh:
Well if it isn't Van Der Sar, I would like to see Ben Foster as he has been amazing for Watford so far this season. I am not sure about Kuszczak and I still think Tim Howard is still prone to a few mistakes.
Papa Lazarou
10-12-2006, 20:43
i do think it will be a tough choice for keeepers next season...although i have a feeling Howard may be transferred to Everton permanently...and then i think it'll be Foster number one and Kuzack number 2 (Van Der Sar possibly number 1 depends on how long his contract is)
Didn't he sign a 2 year contract extension somewhen? I think he is with us until 2008. If not Foster looks like a good talent.

I think Van Der Sar could carry on for a few more years, he still looks in very good shape and his performances don't seem to be getting any worse. Ben Foster is a future England number 1 in my opinion as he is playing out of his skin.
VDS will definately be your 1st choice keeper next season it's quite obvious really.

Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed to become the best player in the world after claiming he has already surpassed Manchester United legend Eric Cantona.
Ronaldo is the latest in a long line of talented No 7s at Old Trafford.
George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and David Beckham have all worn the shirt with distinction down the years.
Ronaldo is in no doubt he belongs in such illustrious company, and believes he can even top the list.
"My dream is to win the Ballon d'Or and I am working to be the best player in the world," Ronaldo told the News of the World.
"Since I was a kid I have been trying to become the best winger in the world and now I want to go a step farther.
"There is still some way to go but the challenge is there and I am trying. I hope the moment arrives soon.
"After me the best No 7 that I have seen was Eric Cantona. But I am still only 21 and I want to surpass everything I have achieved so far."
Ronaldo also rounded on his critics, branding them jealous after they sharpened their knives following the controversial penalty incident at Middlesbrough.
"The incident against Boro has caused many comments, but it was a valid penalty. I do not dive," added Ronaldo.
"Nor do I search for controversy. But I am a person accustomed to the critics and they are not a problem for me.
"Perhaps the critics are jealous. I do not think I have to change. I am the same person that arrived in England hungry for success."
Meanwhile, United target Klaas Jan Huntelaar has revealed he dreams of becoming the next Ruud van Nistelrooy.
"I know certain English clubs are following me like Manchester United and Newcastle. They are both very interested in me," said Huntelaar.
"I love clubs with great history like Ajax. I also love United. It's a club that makes me dream, especially since Ruud van Nistelrooy has played there and did great things for them.
"It could be a source of inspiration as to how I continue my career. I follow the careers of van Nistelrooy and Dirk Kuyt, who play for massive foreign clubs, and they're role models for a young player like me."
Better than Eric? Behave!
Good news about Huntelaar though!
I heard about this, Ronaldo doesn't even come close to Cantona

Also, Larsson scored last night. :)

Yeah he's got great potential but he shouldn't talk about surpassing Eric now.We don't even no what will happen to him later whether he'll move away from United or get injured like Michael Owen.am nt wishing that but we never know.
And yeah great news bout Huntelaar, any1 know any new palyers which SAF wants 2 sign.
Well on the Man Utd website it says he has transfer funds available but I don't think we will know whether he signs someone until the day we sign them. He will keep his cards close to his chest like he did with the Larsson transfer.

Sir Alex Ferguson feels Edwin van der Sar can play for at least another two years after admitting the keeper has enjoyed a new lease of life since joining Manchester United.
Van der Sar is in his second season at Old Trafford, having joined the club from Fulham back in 2005.
His reliability between the posts ended a difficult period for United in trying to find a replacement for Peter Schmeichel.
Ferguson is full of praise for Van der Sar's impact at United and believes the 36-year-old has more seasons left in him.
"He's probably got a new lease of life, coming to United," Ferguson told Inside United.
"He did well at Fulham having been at Juventus previously, but coming to us has given him an extra spur that a lot of goalkeepers get at that age.
"He's fit, he's lean, he's hungry and he can play for another two years, easy. It all depends on what he wants.
"He's good in the dressing room, too.
"He's not a terribly demonstrative person - he's not like Schmeichel, for instance - but what he says has got an authority about it because he's been there and that experience and personality is helping."
Seems SAF agrees with most of us

That's why we only paid around £13-14m for Carrick. £18m is the sum it 'could' rise to, very much like the £30m price tag slapped on Rooney when in fact we didn't pay that for him.

As LosGalacticos said, Carrick is good, not showing us his 18 million worth as of yet. Also agree with Phat, why are we after Hargreaves already ? Stupid if you ask me. I still think that if we were to buy an midfielder, it should be Estaban Cambiasso. The guys great. Got great passing, a decent shot, and great stamina. Although, I don' t know his price.... but im sure it would be nothing short of £20mill ( And there' s no signs of him even looking for a move... ). So, maybe that' s not a good idea after all. I think we should just pass, and keep with the midfield we' ve got atleast until the end of the season.
I say that Fergie has been looking at Sevillas Puerta, now that would be a class signing.
Dong Fangzhou got his work permit today and will be joining next month, this gives us another option up front. In my opinion he is better the Rossi and has a great future ahead of him.

Anyone else got tickets to the game tomorrow with west ham? I've been to this fixture two years in a row as i just moved out of london, but should be a cracker of a game. United wanting to keep the points distance and the hammers wanting to impress the new manager.

FERGIE HINTS AT MORE SURPRISES
Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted he could be ready to make another surprise addition to his squad to follow the capture of Henrik Larsson.
The Manchester United manager worked his magic in the transfer market to bring the Swedish striker to Old Trafford on a loan deal that begins in January, and it has been suggested that Larsson represents the limit of his New Year acquisitions.
However Ferguson has now suggested he may yet have another ace up his sleeve as The Red Devils look to consolidate their place at the top of the Premiership.
"You never know, I may sign someone else," said Ferguson.
"No-one expected Henrik Larsson and I might surprise everyone again."
United's usurpation of rivals Chelsea has seen Ferguson in his element, with the mind games coming thick and fast from both Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge.
Now the master of managerial psychology has gone on the offensive again after Jose Mourinho suggested United's five-point lead is, in reality, just two as The Red Devils have to visit Stamford Bridge on 14th April.
"Apparently we have already lost a game which was due to be played in April," laughed Ferguson
"It's quite good really because we can have a rest on that weekend now. I can put my reserve team out, so we can save our energies for the next game.
"You never know. We could actually win, or we might be 20 points clear. I think the best thing for us to do is concentrate on ourselves because we are doing the right things".
:lol:

Rosicky and Carrick dont play in the same positions, do you even watch football :tongue:
Rosicky plays in central midfield for Czech Republic, and has played in the centre alongside Gilberto and Fabregas for Arsenal.
They are different types of players though.
:lol:
I'm glad he still has his witty comments. Let's see what he has to say come May ;)

carrick is good but yeh definately not worth 18M so far
Yes but remember we got 12mil from John Obi Mikel who never even kicked a ball in training for us.
2-1 to Everton at the moment :D
Henrik Larsson is at Upton Park today to watch, hopefully we will play well.
EDIT: 2-2 :realmad:. Lampard's goal was quality.
EDIT 2: 3-2 Drogba's goal was fucking amazing
Loving the Chelsea score at the moment, hopefully Everton will hold on for the win. Tevez is on the bench against us and Mascherano isn't in the squad.

Dunno what to say really
Chelsea showed the reason they're champions coming back from a goal behind late in the game. Man Utd perhaps showed why, despite our great season, we might not be there quite yet. I'm gutted at the result. More because we've done everything to try and stop Chelsea and yet they still somehow pull results out of nowhere and Man U just fustratingly slip up occasionally. I'm not blaming us, we've been been amazing... and it's only natural to slip up. Not for Chelsea though.
True we're still 2 points ahead, but I'm wondering if it's actually possible to win the league anymore.
This was bound to happen some time, we were unable to do what Chelsea have been doing, that is what could decide the championship.

Chelsea were impressive, typical Man Utd really.

How did we play? I missed the game because I was flying back from Switzerland.
I kind of had a feeling we'd lose this one. Teams with new managers always win on the first game..I just had a bad feeling about it.
Pretty poor performance again Ronaldo was the only player who looked like doing anything, we didn't deserve to lose but we didn't really deserve to win either, both teams had some good chances to score.

I agree we didn't deserve to win or lose a draw would of been the fairer result, we really should of "hammered" them, chelsea creepin up fast now :no:

Villa up next away and that is no easy feat given how they like to get up for big games. They are due a result as well.
Pivotal time in your season this. You haven't had any major injuries yet whereas it seems everyone else has.

I'm confident about going to Villa Park. One of our strongest grounds to play on.

Was O'Neil in charge last time though ?
I predict a draw.

Anyone read about us wanting Gareth Bale, i didn't but my mate told me about it, is he the guy who is good at free kicks and quite young

United already have Heinze and Evra - two good left backs, so I can't see why Man United would want another left back.

Is he a left back, i thought he was midfielder

I'd like United to sign someone who unlocks defences. For example Riquelme. Plus i'd like a more reliable Freekick specialist.
