Manchester United

[Hunter]

hey i always wonder, when i play against man utd in pes theya always use solskjaer as a sub from either rooney or other midfielder maybe, but i`ve seen him since a long time in man utd, whats wrong with him, im sure hes injured but how bad, when he will be back? cause i really dont like using player wich arent playing on real life.
just wondering

he wont be back soon unfortunately mate.....hes out for the season i think..
i hope he actually make it back..i supposse there is a possibililty that he wont even make it back at all....but thats not the way to think...
Solskjaer is an unbelievable player and his injury is very unlucky...he has been very loyal towards United and he deserves at least another season with us....i also hope he comes on or starts most matches when back...
as Fergie said that Solskjaer is the best finisher of the ball in the club..

[Soccer_rules]

oh, he has some kind of knee injure or something?

[Hunter]

oh, he has some kind of knee injure or something?

ye i think it has something to do with bad ligaments or something along those lines......have a look on the united website mate....
www.manutd.com

[AgentZero]

yeh its a recurrance of his knee injury he suffered 2 seasons ago ....i think
i didnt kno SAF rates him that highly for his finishing, i thought RVN would be the best finnisher at UTD, he (Ole) could hopefully return by seasons end.

hey, just wonderin since keano's leavin next season who do you think would be next captain?

Giggs.

Beckham was Keane's vice captain and next in line was Giggs, then Gary Neville.

Ferdinand does have the leadership ability to become United's next skipper though, that has to be said.

[Tenacious D]

Giggs.

i would have thought it would have been Rio because I've seen him captain a fair few times also Gary has aswell.

[Figо10]

Maybe Giggs wasn't playing then too.

Ferdinand should be United's captain in years to come. Only 25 or 26 this world-class defender, whereas Gary is 30, and Keane and Giggs are already into their 30s.

Same here I don't think Rio will go anywhere I think Man U suits him and also it would be better if he was captain because he has more years ahead of him. Anyhow Giggsy is on now so it should get intresting.

[Singh]

2-0 to Manchester united. Man utd on a brilliant run plus beating Man city is always nice. Bring on AC Milan hopefully Ruud van nistelrooy will be back for it, hes meant to be back in training on Tuesday.Rooney keeps scoring, he played well in his lone role upfront.

[Cannon ball]

Singh, are you going to include gigg's in tights on those pictures?

[Cannon ball]

Makes me smile... :D

[Singh]

Hes only wearing them to keep his hamstrings warm, i hope so anyway. :)

[AgentZero]

remember the last time we beat an italian giant( i think it was Juve 98/99) we ended up winning the CL

[AgentZero]

Ruud is up Fer sale
Manchester United will listen to offers for Ruud van Nistelrooy - to generate the funds for a summer swoop for Atletico Madrid's Fernando Torres. Sir Alex Ferguson is a long-term admirer of the 20-year-old Spanish international striker who has scored 10 goals in 22 La Liga appearances this season. But it will come as a shock that United boss Ferguson is now willing to sacrifice Van Nistelrooy to bring Torres to Old Trafford.
Simon Mullock, Sunday Mirror

OH NO.....will anyone be interested in Ruud, he hasnt played agame in almost three months. Torres in UTD colours will be a blessing but in Ruuds expense when hes at his prime :(:(....

[pier69]

i think thats bullshit , where did u get that info ? fernando torres has stated that he will not move out of spain and if he wants to transfer to another club , he would transfer to barca

[AgentZero]

i got it from d Man U site.

[Papa Lazarou]

from the What The Papers say section?

Dont worry, it is Bullshit

[Stella Artois]

Touchy.

[AgentZero]

yes milan is in a poor form slump, they scraped in a very dull win over reggina, hopefully this continues and we beat them next week.
i hear they won 1-0 through an own goal.....if thats happening to the serie a titleholders and utd have won 13/15 games we have a evry good shot of winning the draw and possibly the CL.....im hopin Real beat Juve and Barca beat Chelski

[-=[101st]=-]

where is the first game?? if it is in milan, then i think man u have a better chance.. they cna gett he jump on them.. get a 1 - 0 against a side struggling at the moment.. and then come back to OT with 1 away goal.. as they will pick up in the 2nd if the lose..

[AgentZero]

unfortunately the first leg is at OT so if milan wins then theyd have the away goal/aggregate advantage, man u need to win convincingly(sp?) if they are to have a comfortable 2nd leg. nonetheless we just need to keep milan from scoring.

[Figо10]

First leg is at Old Trafford.

As far as I know, we tend to lose all of our knockout ties where the 1st leg is played away. I'm sure we've lost more ties where the 1st leg is away rather than at home. Look at the 98/99 season for example. We played the 1st leg of both the quarters and semis at Old Trafford and we went through to the final that year.

Just last year aswell, we played Porto away in the 1st leg and we ended up losing the tie. I think Dortmund was another in 96/97, Monaco in 97/98, Real Madrid in 99/00, Real Madrid in 02/03. The only exceptions being the Bayern Munich tie in 00/01 where we played the 1st leg at home and lost the tie, and the Leverkusen tie in 01/02 again where we played at home first but eventually lost on away goals.

So if you look at it that way, it definitely looks as though we have a better chance of going through when we play the home leg first especially against italian opposition. I wouldn't be too confident though if we got a German team in another tie.
Against an Italian team Ill rather have United playing at home in the 2nd leg.

Otherwise you'll never guess what sort of fortress the Italians would have in defence for your retun leg. An away goal in Italy is seldom guaranteed.

[gollan]

My wildest dream come true (regarding the manu - ac milan matches):
(fair disclosure here - I hate both teams equally)
Just check out all those great possibilities:

1. If Milan humiliates Man U I'm happy and I get to see great goals
2. If Man U humiliates Milan I'm happy and I get to see OK goals (:D)
3. If both teams start getting rough there is a chance for yellows and reds effective for the next stages
4. If both teams start getting REALLY rough there is a chance for (please god please) injuries.
MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!
:D
:D

[7RONALDO7]

nonetheless we just need to keep milan from scoring.

Correct me if im wrong but isn't that what every team needs to do in a football match!

[Figо10]

1. If Milan humiliates Man U I'm happy and I get to see great goals
2. If Man U humiliates Milan I'm happy and I get to see OK goals (:D)

:D
I would say United score more sensational goals than the Italian club.

Scholes can strike from range, van Nistelrooy can score from tight angles, Cristiano Ronaldo can swerve in a curler, Rooney can hit a thumping volley etc...

Who scores goals for Milan in the Champions League??

Usually only Shevchenko and Kaka, and somtimes Crespo, though they are seldom spectacular.

ye agree in a way...
what do you think the score wil be....in my opinion United will win at Old Trafford and AC will win at the San Siro....

well yeah. touche'

If we beat them we'll be on the same boat as Barca, I feel good about this CL Campaign!!!

[Ogopa Djz]

Jus so u all know Pirlo is gonna score 4 goals for AC against Manu. ;)

[AgentZero]

ahahahh NO.......Pirlo is bollocks when compared to scholesy or keano, the only midfield player i admire from Milan is seedorf, but still he isnt as good as Giggs

[Ogopa Djz]

[AgentZero]

:( itd be thrusday morning thank you;) (aust time)

[LiamK]

Well played against Everton, your support was good too. Especially the rendition of 'Get to work you lazy twats' - made me chuckle. Crystal clear quality as well, a lot of songs don't come through very crisply over the TV, but everyone could hear that loud and clear.

[Tenacious D]

'also I think they said Rooney Rooney whats the score.' I wanted him to score for some strange reason.

[LiamK]

I remember the Man United game at home, first game of the season. Kezman was warming up and we were 1-0 up. Sang 'Kezman, what's the score' and he didn't understand so he just clapped us. Then we launched into 'Speaking fucking English, why don't you speak fucking English....' - Parker trotted along a few minutes after, we asked him what the score was and he just clapped us again. So he got the 'speak fucking English' treatment as well. Of course, it was all light-hearted banter, they both speak fluent English.

[Tenacious D]

lol I dont remember that lol even though I was there Kezman looked good in pre season and I was thinking we have a good player in him, but he hasn't started well.

At the start of a game his shooting is terrible gosh!, I hear some people say oh know watch out Kezmans shooting.

[Estill]

United, best fans in the world.

Cracking stuff. Stuck up for Wayne with chorus after chorus of "Rooney, Rooney, Rooney!"

Shame about the idiotic Evertonians lobbing stuff at Roy Carroll.

And we was just talking about kezman aswell lol :p he got hit against West Ham those scum. :mad:

[LiamK]

I think it was just a small corner of the MHL singing it, about gate 14/15 where the players run upto when they're warming up.

West Ham fans, what you gonna do? I mean, I'm certain if there was a scientific investigation into them it'd be proven they're not fully evolved.

United best fans in the world? - Please, you're catching up with Arsenal in the home-ground silence stakes.

Nice to see BBC try Sky's 'Fanzone' commentary idea for the first time. Unfortunately, I could only get the Man Utd version. Strange that...

[ChelseaDave]

Joe Cole had a bottle thrown at him in that game aswell. He picked it up, took and took a drink of it. Cheeky bugger...

Anyway West Ham= SCUM...

And i know what you mean about the fanzone thing Liam

"It's Rooney OOHHHH!"- Shut up Motson you mug.

[DirtyFrank]

Great atmosphere at Stamford Bridge though, any of you who watch Soccer AM will know. You could hear the players on the pitch talking in one match because of the quietness (if thats a word) :cool:

[Akineye]

United have the best fans in the Premiership.

Have done for the past thirty years.

[ChelseaDave]

Try sitting in the MHL. Best atmosphere in the premiership.

[Alex"pes"hilty]

Maybe at home they are quiet eating there prawn sandwiches Roy Keane would say , but the away fans are the best.

[LiamK]

Or because ever since Mourinho's arrival, Sky have tried to stick microphones all around the technical area!

But still, the atmosphere's suffered quite a lot, not on a par with Old Trafford or the noise-forsaken Highbury, but it's disappointing. We still get a good atmoshphere for the big games though, and our away support is class.

[7RONALDO7]

United = Best fans in the premiership
Arsenal = Woman screaming at chances
Chelsea = Not a contest

[LiamK]

7RONALDO7 - as plastic as they come.

And quite obviously, never been to Old Trafford.

I think annyone watching the Arsenal match today would agree that Highbury has the worst stadium atmosphere.

[Alex"pes"hilty]

I hope that screaming woman fails in her bid to get a season ticket next season.

Really?!? What if it had piss or some other foul substance inside that bottle. Poor old joey could have been poisoned...

[Giggsy11]

lol yeh that women, i got her on my man u videos lol. Anyone see on motd that women saying sumet to Rooney? Bitch..

[LiamK]

Agreed re: Highbury. The away support is just as bad as well.

I think I read somewhere that season tickets for Emirates Stadium are 5 or 7 years, so if she gets another season ticket right near a microphone then Sky will have to put up with her for a while yet. Either that or they'll stuff the furry mic down her throat. I know which I'd prefer.

[Stella Artois]

Wasn't there some campaign to get her banned? Obviously didn't work. :(

I can't explain why our atmosphere sucks so much, it's disappointing to say the least.

[Tenacious D]

I hate it when fans that have never been to a their home stadium say their fans are the best.

good win against everton, good to see Quinton up there scoring again and Ronaldo is firing away also(although twas another simple tap in) think he'll get 12 before seasons end??
Fortune played a pretty good game, created a few chances and also bagged himself a nice header.

[Figо10]

Any of you know whether van Nistelrooy is starting against Milan and if any more United players are out of the tie?

I only know Fletcher's injured.

[Alex"pes"hilty]

Hes fit anoth to play dont know whether he should might distrupt the recent good form.

[AgentZero]

i have a feeling fergie might play him against milan..most likely of the bench, because he has had a long injury lay off. he'll probably score a goal, doing his usual explosive come-back thing:D

[LiamK]

I love 'who has the best fans' debates.

Portsmouth. Easy.

[Tenacious D]

Portsmouth. Easy.
I agree they have large men with lots of tatoos of their team also they have loads of banners and flags.

[Stella Artois]

What the fuck does a bunch of large men having Pompey tattoo's got to do with their support?

You should support United mate. You would fit the stereotype I have for them - stupid morons.

[AgentZero]

and arsenal's fan are far more sophisticated seeing as their from London?

[Akineye]

[AgentZero]

did the board turn it down? or was the mass opposition made him change his bloody mind.

[Alex"pes"hilty]

No thats what i think will happen and hope of course. Hes starting a fresh bid next week,the fans shall be hosting another protest before the big game on Wednesday

[AgentZero]

yeh isnt it going to be like a torchlight march from Old trafford Cricket grounds, THE MOB HAVE SPOKEN

[Alex"pes"hilty]

Knowing the fans yeah it probably will be therell be thousands of them. Milan fans wont have a clue wats going on.

[Gary G]

yeh isnt it going to be like a torchlight march from Old trafford Cricket grounds

Will you be taking part in the march?

He wont be able to make it up there from Essex in time. :(

unfortunately no...im in the otherside of the world....oh the shame:(

Quite clearly i have! I have gone to some away matches aswell.......like when United bet the gooners at Villa Park, when giggs scored that wondefull goal!!!!

Liam, who do you support? Is it Chelsea? If yes, since when.........last season or more recently?

[7RONALDO7]

Glazers not comin the fat headed git.

I can think of more i could say about him!!!

What are the odds the mobile phone thrown at Rooney was stolen?? Can't be too bad, Ladbrokes are offering evens.

Oh sorry of course, you've got a season ticket. Oh no, wait, your Dad's got a season ticket and you're getting one when you're older, oh no wait, everyone in your family has a season ticket and you all sit infront of the Chuckle Brothers.

Do me a favour.

First Chelsea match: Southampton at home 93/94. 2-0. The last season of the old Shed End. Also the last time there was a pitch invasion at the Bridge. Quarter final against Wolves. I think I was wearing a shirt with Stein on the back at the time.

[vanNistelrooy]

I think I was wearing a shirt with Stein on the back at the time.

lmao, Mark Stein. They were the days. I remember Choccy McClair for us :p

First game I saw was 03/12/1994 vs Norwich, the King scored. Then we lost to Forest (Stone and Collymore, god that was some time ago). Think next was home vs Villa, Andy "1 in 5" Cole got his first goal for United. Then was the amazing 9-0 over Ipswich, remember my Dad telling me I'd never witness anything like this again, he was bloody right and all.

On the topic of the FA Cup, I think Chelsea were a bit unfortunate. Newcastle weren't that good, I think Laurent Robert saw someone in row Z that he didn't like :p. Big gamble from Mourinho at HT, but who saw an injury coming as early in the second half?

I don't agree with Arsenal tearing apart Sheff Utd though. If Wenger was that serious about the competition he would have played a few more first team players. I believe the replay is inbetween the two Bayern Munich games, so bye bye FA Cup for Arsenal. The FA Cup seems to be the taking for Man Utd, although I wouldn't fancy an away draw against Newcastle in the next round, not with Titus playing like he is :p

[AgentZero]

how long is bridge out for, he looked lkike he was in muchos pain

[LiamK]

The season most likely. Of course it all depends upon how effective the surgery is, how effective the recovery from surgery is, risk of infection, response to rehabilition etc... but it's unlikely he'll play again this season.

[Stella Artois]

Stoneman, you've got to be in it to win it, remember that. :)

[Stella Artois]

They would surely play a good team regardless? They have pride to play for and it's important to keep your fans happy so a nice cup run would surely do that.

[Stella Artois]

Indeed, but it's a one-off game. I doubt you could attribute their survival with putting out and understrength side against United.

[Alex"pes"hilty]

United for the cup surely now

[Papa Lazarou]

i would have to agree that Man U has the best chance of winnin the F.A cup because our big threats are Arsenal who we have beaten 3 times this season already and Newcastle who we ususally beat anyway

[Lami]

Stoneman mate, theres already a thread on this here (http://forum.pesinsight.com/showthread.php?t=20126)

[Lami]

I know that. But your questions have already been answered and discussed in there, thats all.

[Alex"pes"hilty]

Both teams dont concede goals and i tink that United willl bag a 1-0win with giggs scoring gonna be nervous though.

[skullverine]

I hope Utd will win.. maybe 1-0.. Ruud to score

[AgentZero]

whoa!......im hoping for at least 2-0, 1-0 can mean trouble, we have to use our home advantage to maximum id hate if we win 1-0 and then lose the return leg 2-0..or worse

[Mohanned]

They will lose I think 2-1

[melmosworld]

how the fuck do you know

[Mohanned]

Man United

[Mohanned]

Thats my mate from work that post that so he can bet

[vanNistelrooy]

Very disappointed with tonights result. We will not be going through to the quarters. We'd need a 2-0 win and keep a clean sheet in the San Siro.

Erm I think 2-1 would do it. Although if we play like that we'll lose 3-0. Same story for Man Utd, a goalkeeper error costs us a European game. We play outstanding prior to the game and then play as shit as we did tonight.

And yes, FA Cup and Premiership.

[Papa Lazarou]

What are you talkin about?? The game coulda gone either way tonite, were far from out of the tie!! The game shud have been 0-0 but for Carrolls mistake. im confident we can score 2 goals there especially with Van Nistelrooy back in the startin line up an 100% fit which he wasnt tonite

[vanNistelrooy]

Carrol had one save to make, and fucked that up. Dida had no saves to make. 0-0 would have been a fair result but it serves us right for not taking our chances.

[chris248]

im sorry 2 say though that carroll has proved again that a goalie is a neccessity, or howard should b recalled, it cant b ne worse. carroll has made 2 many blunders,(tonite, lyon and the infamous 1 against spurs spring 2 mind) in recent months 2 b considred a good goalie. other than hat united played well but milan were just overall a class act, and pirlo looked a very good player

[vanNistelrooy]

Pirlo is a genious

[Cannon ball]

Did Ruud play?

[vanNistelrooy]

About 25 mins. Had a few good touches early on then never really got invloved. Missed a header towards the end.

[Gary G]

Did Ruud play?

He was brought on after about 60 minutes I think.

[Stella Artois]

Ruud had a chance with the header...

Kaka was rampant at times and showed his class.

United have an uphill struggle and I honestly don't see them doing it.

Yeh, howard should be recalled. I was shocked that Carroll stayed back in the team after one of the world's worst goalkeeping blunders :eek: If howard is put back in net maybe he will regain his confidence and get to the great form as he was last year and maybe become the best goalie in the world because he is very athletic, has excellent reflexes and top agility.

[Hunter]

very dissapointing....Carroll is a disgrace...how could he miss that catch..
although it could have been worse had Stam been playing..we wouldnt have had the free-roaming we had in the side of the pitch in the second-half

[Stella Artois]

Bah, you're complaining. Jesus Christ, we have Jens Lehman and Manuel Almunia as our two 'keepers.

[vanNistelrooy]

Bah, you're complaining. Jesus Christ, we have Jens Lehman and Manuel Almunia as our two 'keepers.

You win.

[Cray]

that was a powerful shot by Seedorf....i think Carroll misjudge that shot and thinks he can hold that shot, but it bounced off his chest....or arms

[Alex"pes"hilty]

NOOO cant see them going through now no1 was on form they were basicaly crap
Unlucky to lose didnt deserve that Milan could win the whole comp there a great side and thats without shevchenko.*

[razor]

i think howard should start against portsmouth and we shold see how he does. if he doesnt get an oppurtunity now then he probably never will. we all kno whow well he can play. he only made a couple of minor mistakes which are nothin gin comparison to carrols. i think the main problem fergie has against him is how he made the mistake against porto last season. i think carols war a lot worse.

i realy cant see us winning at the san siro. i think it wil be 0-0 or maybe 1-0 to milan.


how can milan and inter play on the same day? is the united match going to be after all the matches or with the wednesday matches. but i dont think we can use the stadium the next day? whats going to happen.

[Gary G]

how can milan and inter play on the same day? is the united match going to be after all the matches or with the wednesday matches. but i dont think we can use the stadium the next day? whats going to happen.

Inter are playing Porto on the Tuesday after the other 2nd legs are played, the 15th.

[AgentZero]

what a shite and lacklustre perfomance by our mids, there were at times when we gave the ball really cheapy in the middle of the park and milan could of scored more.
i reckon Ronaldo for V.Nistlerooy was the wrong choice, fortune should have made way instead, he was really unsettled after his miss. Carrol should have punched the ball if he couldnt take it.....but he thought he could:rolleyes:

[chris248]

anybody got ne ideas of who united could buy as the new keeper? i was finkin either kameni (looks very good in spanish league), or frey from parma particularly wiv their financial problems

[Gary G]

I've not a big fan of Frey, he flaps at crosses alot and parries when it would be more sensible to catch.

The number one target should be Timo Hildebrand, he is a very good keeper and does things the simple, I reckon he would have the same impact that Cech has had at Chelsea.

Hilderband seems unlikely to move as he's just signed a new contract with Stuttgart.

[Papa Lazarou]

I read in the Papers that a £12 million bd for Paul Robinson in the summer may be on the cards. I wud personally do £6 million plus Carroll but Robinsons a class keeper an wud be great at united

[AgentZero]

the bloke milan left out Abbiati...United should have followed up the speculation back in Jan and maake an offer for him.
Rustu??

[Akineye]

Buying Robinson for £12 million would be terrible business.

He's a great 'keeper, but we could get him from between £5-7 million. I can think of a lot better ways to spend £12 million.

[chris248]

this has been posted on manutd.com 2day Reds Sign Young German Stopper, Manchester United have completed the signing of 16-year-old goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler from FC Cologne.
this may be the long term solution 4 the goalkeeper spot, and if this is the case perhaps fergie may decide 2 sign an older goalkeeper 2 plug the gap 4 about 2 years

[Stella Artois]

I played against him back in the day!

[Papa Lazarou]

Its being hasty to say that Ron-Robert Zieler is our goalkeeping solution as he's only 16 and not likely to play for us for 3-4 years thats even if he's any good. Maybe he'll be our goalkeeper when Giuseppi Rossi and Pique are first team regulars and Rooney wud be at the top of his career

[Hunter]

maybe..but he might not even get through at all....
is Kasper Schmeichel actually any good or does he need more time do you think ??
i havent really seen him much..

luke steele is currently on loan at coventry and has made some absolute howlers this season, i cant c him makin the grade at united.
with regards 2 kasper schmeichel he is currently 18 and is struggling 2 break in2 the city team, hes not made 1 appearance. u never no though as peter turned out 2 b one of the greatest ever keepers

[utd_supporter]

United, not for sale, Manchester uniteds not for sale!!!! We shall defeat milan 2-1 away, ronaldo rulz!!!!!!!!!!

[utd_supporter]

that was a powerful shot by Seedorf....i think Carroll misjudge that shot and thinks he can hold that shot, but it bounced off his chest....or arms

As a united fan I think this mistake should be his last, he is a donkey, a disgrace to the badge!

[skullverine]

why?? Howard and Carroll makes blunders? do you think we should find a new GK in the next transfer window?

[Mambo]

Am I the only person that thinks it was Paul Scholes' fault for that goal? He was the closest player to Seedorf. In fact I think he lost out on the bounce in the first place. He should be busting a gut to get there and closing him down. Instead, he gets time and space to fizz a shot at goal.

[AgentZero]

well, its been ripe recently and now it looks certain, Roy Carrol is goin(most likely) to leave OT at the summer, I know i havent his biggest fan (im not a fan of both keepers anyway) but doesn't everyone think that Peter Schmeichel did such a brill job at United that its almost impossible to be on par with the great dane...we've had 4 keepers at utd since Peter and 1/4 was actually consistent and we LET HIM GO (fab).
i think utd will bring in a new keeper but not an instant no.1.......

what does evryone think of smudger playing in a central midfield position alongside scholesy or keano??????

[-=[101st]=-]

lol fab made blunders too!!! stupid ones.. can i remind u all of taxi for barthez?? thye do make blunders.. but stupid blunders a side.. i am a big fan of carrol.. when he has to dive across goal and parry balls around the back.. not many are better.. it is just he needs to work on his catching..

[Morientes19]

I Dont Think The Great Dane Will Ever Be Replaced. Maybe Tim Howard Will Cum Good Next Season As Carroll Is Off. Bet Fergie Brings In Another As No 1.

[chris248]

smith is a very good player, & i think he could do a very good job in the centre of midfield. he has the determination that is needed, despiter being a top class centre forward, he wont play much at cf with saha, van nistelrooy and rooney, perhaps a position in cmf would be better 4 him. neway id rather see smith play rather than liam miller in cmf

[Alex"pes"hilty]

Who does Roy Carroll think he is stalling over a new contract like hes a star player. Its about time United got a world class keeper no one can beat Schmeichel but thers lots out there to buy. We just bought a new keeper of 16 called Zielgler hopefully he'll do good.

[AgentZero]

whats the deal with hidlebrand where is he going?....we should try and nab from arse's clutches.

[Cristiano07]

i know they've signed that young german keeper (zieler or sumthing). they recon hes best in europe 4 his age, so im quite excited bout that

[Morientes19]

manu need a keeper ASAP not in the future

[Cristiano07]

not bein funny but so do liverpool. and arsenal

[Morientes19]

no liverpool have carson and kirkland. Manu need a keeper i would go for V D saar

[Cristiano07]

well carson and kirkland r 4 future. i dont want v.d.sar he is 2 old and reminds me of barthez. he takes 2 many risks

[Morientes19]

true, who else is there. I would maybe risk buying that espanol keeper Kameni (crap spelling) the cameroon lad. fergie always seems to buy keepers that have abit of experience.

[Cristiano07]

i wud personally like 2 c robinson in goal 4 us, although i cant c him wantin 2 move from london.

[Morientes19]

no. he loves it in london. i think to get him you would have to pay 8+ mill. Dont fancy robert green being in my net, lets in to many soft goals.

[Mappa C]

Jose Felipe Moriera plays for Benfica, I have seen him play a few times and I dont think he is the answer to our goalkeeper problem.

[Mambo]

I think Fergie will buy a proven 'keeper probably old but has experience. Someone who can give United a few years before this new guy shows whether he's big enough to make the step up. Toldo probably, someone like him anyway. Whoever it is I expect them to be cheap, no more than £3Million.

RE: Monsieur Barthez. He was consistent alright. Consistently crap, that is. He made far more blunders than good saves. Michael Owen Carling Cup final for the second goal, poor positioning. Di Canio when we got knocked out of the FA Cup, trying to be clever and pretending it was offside. Gifting Thierry Henry against Arsenal when we were 2-1 up and lost 3-2. His crap positioning for Ronaldo's Hat trick at Old Trafford in thw CL semi final. He could have saved two of those. The list goes on...

[SoHei]

His name is not Moriera, it´s Moreira and he plays for Benfica, he is still young and is the most talented portuguese goalkeeper right now.

[Scarface]

Gifting Thierry Henry against Arsenal when we were 2-1 up and lost 3-2.

Actually it was 1-1 at the time ;)
That was vintage Barthez, he made several world-class saves to keep Man U in the match, and then goes and screws up two of his kicks :p

I've a nasty feeling you will sign Timo Hildebrand this summer.

[Scarface]

Didn't Stuttgart publicly declare their interest in Lehmann a few months ago? If thats true then I'd say a Hildebrand-Lehmann swap could be on the cards.

Sorrry, but I just can't see him coming here.

Yes they did, I think Mathias Sammer is the Stuttgart manager these days, and he was the Dortmund manager when Lehmann was still there, so their must be something Sammer likes about him.
Hildebrand recently signed a new deal until 2007 so Stuttgart will probably ask for a fair bit of money now. I hope you're right, but i'm not too hopeful, he is probably too good and/or well known a keeper for Wenger's liking :rolleyes: I'm just hoping the Austrian reserve keeper no-one's heard of turns out to be alright ;)

[Cristiano07]

think hildebrand has bein linked with quite a few teams, includin man u and arsenal, only seen him a couple of times, but looks pretty solid. not sure if this is true but isnt he the german 3RD choice

[Tenacious D]

Isn't this the 10th year that Cantona 'Kung fued' that guy lol that was funny I can imagine Rooney doing that.

[solidsnake]

whens man u's next match anyone?

[Cristiano07]

yeah, sum fans were gonna wear cantona masks 2 celebrate it, but palace r gonna ruin the party

[solidsnake]

whoops! my bad!

[solidsnake]

wots the score?

[Scarface]

wots the score?

0-0 H/T

Arsenal are winning 1-0 against Pompey, you might want to know ;)
Thierry Henry the scorer

Yes he is, Jurgen Klinnsman's sanity is still in question.

[solidsnake]

cheers!

[solidsnake]

0-0 damm!

[Gary G]

whens man u's next match anyone?

You can tell your a die-hard fan.

[solidsnake]

wot a shitty result!

[solidsnake]

i cant belive we drew!

[Scarface]

i cant belive we lost!

You didn't lose!? It was 0-0 :confused:

[Gary G]

i cant belive we lost!

Yeah, those 0-0 defeats are the worst.

Good to see you have been taking the piss with your last few posts.

[solidsnake]

sorry i forget we only drew but still feels like a defeat

[Akineye]

You can tell your a die-hard fan.

Bwahaha!

I am starting to see why so many people resent the United fans on this board.

[solidsnake]

god i made a mistake get over it!

[Akineye]

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooosh.

[solidsnake]

????????????????

[Guillermo]

A tip for everyone. Use the EDIT option from your last post! And stop the spamming.

[Hunter]

a bad result today for us....
espescially since Chelsea won...

[solidsnake]

i know i was well happy when norwich got one back.

[Akineye]

????????????????

Forget I said anything.

Your posts are so interesting.

[solidsnake]

woteva!

[Guillermo]

Perhaps the only chance is FA Cup. And I ain't too confident playing Southampton the way both teams are playing.

[vanNistelrooy]

Congrats Chelsea, the title is now yours.

[Guillermo]

vanNistelrooy lad. Put Chelsea in your sig. not Cheslea. It sounds like the kid from Corrie. He had Schmeichel though...

[chris248]

wats happened 2 saha, he wasnt in the 16 named yesterday, is this an omen that fergie does no longer hav him in his plans. particularly wiv him needin 1st team football ud hav thought he would hav been on the bench. or is he injured again? fergie has now also sed that kleberson is not bein sold 2 corinthians and is bak in trainin & will b bak in the 1st team squad soon

[NorthernLights]

Err i wunt say theyve won it just yet, they still gotta play Arsenal and come up here, lets hope them gooners does us a favour and beat em

[vanNistelrooy]

Ok, they lose to Arsenal, that'll be 8 points (assuming they win their game in hand), to Bolton (5 points) and us (2 points). Still not quite there are we? Let's face it, if we can't expect to score against Palace, eith one of the most suspect goalkeepers around, how do you expect us to score against Chelsea? Or Milan on Tuesday.

[vanNistelrooy]

vanNistelrooy lad. Put Chelsea in your sig. not Cheslea. It sounds like the kid from Corrie. He had Schmeichel though...

What?!?!? :confused:

[Guillermo]

What?!?!? :confused:

Who's Cheslea?

[Papa Lazarou]

Been Linked in the newspapaers today with Gattuso of Milan. He is probably the msot ideal Keane replacement an he is only 26 so i reckon we shud get him. Dont sell Sahahe never got a chance in the first team (cause of injuries)

[NorthernLights]

Yeh i heard that, he was linked wiv us a couple of seasons back, would fit into the team pretty well i reckon, definatly looks better than that Essien or whatever his called...As for your comments vanNistelrooy, if you watched the Palace game you'd see we dominated, it was just one of those days, and sayin we wont score against AC Milan and Chelsea with Ruud, Smith, Rooney, Giggs, Scholes and Ronaldo on the pitch is stupid, typical southern United fan eh...United rise for the big games

[AgentZero]

yeh my mates have been pestering me about Utd signing Gattuso, id like him to be a replacement for keano, they're both the same kind of player

[gollan]

To NorthernLights: Nice nick, do you grow? now seriously, do you really expect ManU to score against Milan in the san siro? I don't, I think most teams can't do it, Barca couldn't, most Italian teams can't. And for Gattuso - well he's a great DMF, they call him "the little warrior", but from what I've heard he's totally commited to Milan and as soon as Maldini quits he's the next captain (a Keane kinda captain) so don't get your hopes up, I think.

[Cristiano07]

wot team do u support, then?

[Morientes19]

Gattuso would be great replacement 4 keane. Although the move looks unlikely. i would prefer essien.

[Gary G]

wot team do u support, then?

He supports Juve, what does that have to do with his comment? Did he think he was an Arsenal or Chelsea fan like?

[gollan]

well in england I support Arsenal, and in Spain I support Baraca, and I rate those 3 accordingly if they ever have to play each other (Juve, Arsenal, Barca).
When Juve beat Barca 2 years ago in OT I didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. Surely if it was Barca-Arsenal or Juve-Arsenal it would be even more difficult for me to decide...

[NorthernLights]

Man United can score at any ground if theyre at the top of their game, i never said it'll be easy, but its not impossible, and you sayin Gattuso wont leave Milan, says on the news he would love to come to United...And what was the "do i grow comment" about Gollan?

[NorthernLights]

How can you support 2 teams? What if they meet?

[Morientes19]

you should just support one team.

[gollan]

northern lights weed, off course. one of the best breeds.
Oh.
You didn't know that.
:D

[clarkey666]

u cant support 2 teams

[clarkey666]

man u rule

[clarkey666]

gattuso is a great player but i think only person cauld replace keane and thats viera!

[Alex"pes"hilty]

Gattuso is still young at 26, i like him hes a good player but Keane has 2 or 3 more seasons left yet so we cant buy Gattuso this season they r both defensive players.

[NorthernLights]

Nah i dont smoke it man...And Viera is over rated in my opinion, or maybe im just bias towards him :) Keanos a hard man to replace, we still ant replaced someone like Cantona, but he was a one off i suppose, a god round here

[JoeyM]

Vieira's been below standards for most of this season, he was untouchable in 01/02. Think we've seen the best of him and he wouldn't be a long term replacement anyway. I highly doubt Gattuso would want to leave Milan, he's fully committed to the team and Milan have no reason to sell.

[NorthernLights]

Hes only bin playin from the bench the last few times ive seen Milan play

[mxavier1985]

gattuso is class but what about xavi he can play attacking and even deep hes far better than gattuso. wot dya think guys

[Cristiano07]

xavi wud neva cum 2 us, wud b v nice though

[Morientes19]

whats wrong with miller? he was supposed 2 be the new keane.

[mxavier1985]

why wouldnt he come? i know barca have changd this season and are going for a cl la liga double but united have still got pulling power

[mxavier1985]

miller could still be give him time

[Cristiano07]

cause hes barca through and through. its like nev goin 2 barca

[Kluiverte]

Hope Manu beat Milan tonight!

[mxavier1985]

wasnt becks united thru and thru, and morientes real thru and thru, it doesnt matter yhat they wasnt gettinn the games but they didnt have to leave their clubs

[Morientes19]

wasnt becks united thru and thru, and morientes real thru and thru, it doesnt matter yhat they wasnt gettinn the games but they didnt have to leave their clubs

good point look at owen, i know he was in a shitty liverpool team, but now he is 3rd choice at real

[mxavier1985]

Hope Manu beat Milan tonight!
AND SO DO I

[mxavier1985]

who does evry1 think next seasons goalkeeper will be

[Cristiano07]

wasnt becks united thru and thru, and morientes real thru and thru, it doesnt matter yhat they wasnt gettinn the games but they didnt have to leave their clubs

yeah but different circumstances, becks had fallen out wit fergie, morientes wasnt gettin the games he deserved. whereas xavi plays every week and is loved over there. but anything is poss and maybe if waved a load of cash in front of him he'd go. cause there's no loyality in football anymore

[Morientes19]

i can see more spanish players coming over thanks to liverpool, look at arteta he asked alonso what prem was like. i wouldnt be surprised to see xavi at manu in the summer

[mxavier1985]

true

[Cristiano07]

who does evry1 think next seasons goalkeeper will be

ive got a feelin its gonna b sum1 crappy like v.d.sar or schwazer. think we shud break the bank 2 get an ace 1, every season our keepers cost us on the biggest stage

[Morientes19]

i cant see fergie going out and buying big in the summer-i mean which top player wants to come over this summer and sit on the bench next season because keane is still around as he retires end of next season. I think fergie will buy then. But who, maybe essien.

[Cristiano07]

no, bet he turns out 2 b anotha djemba!

[Morientes19]

no, bet he turns out 2 b anotha djemba!

maybe. i saw djemba for nantes he looked v good, but played at RB. looked a tough and strong, maybe the change in class from nantes in french league to manu chasing silver wear was to much 4 him. Essien has looked good in French League and CL, could be risky business signing him, could turn out class

[Cristiano07]

need 2 start buyin a couple of playas 4 now, not lettin em settle down 4 2/3 seasons while chelsea r buyin the title every year

[Morientes19]

i can see you having basically the same squad next year (not a bad thing), a maybe 2 or 3 players in (a keeper i think if carroll doesnt sign) I dont see you having the replacement 4 keane this summer. And fergie wont pay to much. But he may have 2 to replace keane.

[mxavier1985]

the board keep saying theyve spent the summers budget last summer but dont they say that evry year? so i think we will sign a quality keeper like frey or toldo or even buffon if he was 10 mill cheaper. and by the way van der sar is a great keeper

[Morientes19]

the board keep saying theyve spent the summers budget last summer but dont they say that evry year? so i think we will sign a quality keeper like frey or toldo or even buffon if he was 10 mill cheaper. and by the way van der sar is a great keeper

toldo would be good. I really think frey isnt all that good, and V der sar reminds me of bartez, he is a good shot stopper though

[Cristiano07]

i wudnt want, hes a bit like barthez in the way he takes sum risks, plus hes gettin on a bit

[mxavier1985]

i wudnt want, hes a bit like barthez in the way he takes sum risks, plus hes gettin on a bit
but goalkeepers get better the older they get and can stay great til late 30s

[Cristiano07]

but just think of that clanger against arsenal wen he tryed 2 take it round reyes and got tackled, i always think he capable of doin sumthing like that

[Morientes19]

i think fergie should go bring a good young keeper who can last 4 years. like he did with The Great Dane.

[mxavier1985]

like casillas the best gk in the world who would never leave real after finally being accepted as a galacticos by the spanish people

[NorthernLights]

I think that Paul Smith, i think, of Southampton is a good keeper, young too, hes keepin out Neimi anyway, one of the best in the premiership

[NorthernLights]

Buffon is better than Casillas int he?

[Morientes19]

Buffon is better than Casillas int he?

Good question,I am not sure which is better. Yeah paul smith looks good but would fergie go 4 him? i doubt it.

[mxavier1985]

isnt niemi injured? fergie doesnt seem to go for english gks but he should do wot he could for paul robinson he would come being a united fan and all

[Morientes19]

cant see fergie going 4 robinson he loves it in london anyway. It wont be english keeper prob another foreigner

[NorthernLights]

We should get Cudicini, hes bin linked wiv us a few times, hes not gonna take Cechs place is he

[Gary G]

Buffon is better than Casillas int he?

Not a chance, Casillas and Cech are the two best keepers in the world.

[mxavier1985]

we're all over lookin howard here hes a good keeper only 25 and will get better and more consistant and will play tonite

[NorthernLights]

Whats all the hype about Buffon then? Hes not the highest paid keeper for nowt, hes deffinately better than Cassilas

[NorthernLights]

Howards dodgy at makin decsions

[mxavier1985]

2nites team
1. Howard
4. Heinze
5. Ferdinand
6. Brown
7. Ronaldo
8. Rooney
10. van Nistelrooy
11. Giggs
16. Keane
18. Scholes
27. Silvestre

its the first choice & strong team anybody beg to differ?

[Morientes19]

Whats all the hype about Buffon then? Hes not the highest paid keeper for nowt, hes deffinately better than Cassilas

Buffon has a solid back 4 in front of him. cassilas hasn;t. Pay has nothing to do with it.

[Jonny2J]

Whats all the hype about Buffon then? Hes not the highest paid keeper for nowt, hes deffinately better than Cassilasthat has nowt to do with it..... Casillias is a home grown product and cost nothing.... no doubt he would have cost a huge fee if he started at a smaller club but he didnt.... thats like saying Didier Drogba cost 24 million... is he 3 times better than Michael Owen... is he fuck!

[mxavier1985]

how comes there is a lot of non united supporting people on here?

[Gary G]

how comes there is a lot of non united supporting people on here?

Does it matter? Sorry if we have invaded your special area.

[mxavier1985]

it doesnt matter i like to know wot other teams fans think about different areas of united i,e transfers, formations the more the better i say. but apart from the obvious few please state who u support
