Oh, and why is it that Darius Vaseline only turns up for one or two games a season, and they always happen to be against us?
:D
Did you not see the tackles he's been putting in? Especially the two footed one on Nani. The guy is pure cunt.

Calm down chaps.
It's half time, if there's any team who can overturn said deficit it's yous.
The way City are setup it's going to be difficult to score a goal or two for that matter.
Playing like this? With one striker?
God, he should have at least put the nipper on the bench. Then again, we do have Park Ji Sung :huh:

I know, it's pathetic that we didn't sign anyone to replace Louis Haha. He has to go in the summer, and at least two players should be brought in. We definately need a target man, as if it's not working with our normal attacking play we need that extra option.

Ermm or you could just turn the TV off and not watch, got to say i think Ferguson's team selection was very poor. Cant have two attacking midfielders playing together...i swear he seem's to think Scholes is some kind of like holding midfielder who can sit deep and just play long balls...it doesnt work as he can't tackle for a start!!

Maybe it's because Scholes doesn't have the legs to run up and down the pitch. That's what happens at the age of 33.
Who do we bring on? Park, Hargreaves and Carrick.
Hardly goal getters (I know Carrick scored, but you know what I mean). Could have easily been Berbatov or Huntelaar that we were bringing on if SAF had dipped into the transfer kitty.
But I'm sure Saha coming on in his wheelchair will be just as affective for the remainder of the season.

Giggs - Invisible
Ronaldo - Did he even play???
Brown - I think everybody has already cleared up how bad he was
Have to say though, all credit to Richards & Dunne they were tremendous through-out, how Hamaan got MoTM i don't know. Also i was extremely pleased to see the City fans pay their respects too, one of just 2 positives that will come out of the day, the second being that surely now Fergie will realise he can't rely on just 1 striker.
I don't believe that's possible.

Why did some of Man United's players wear different shirt numbers to what they wear normally???
I can pick out a few :-
Tevez (32) - 9
Vidic (15) - 4
Hargreaves (4) - 12
Scholes (18) - 10
etc....
?????????????
Definitely need a right back and striker in the summer, it's way too much of a gamble to expect Manucho to make a big difference.
If Neville doesn't play a game this season then surely his career will be over? He's been out since March last year and will be 33 next week. How many times have we been told he will be back in a week?

special permission granted by the FA so that united can number their players in the old fashion way of positions and not commercial preferences. yet players whom normally have a number below 16 i.e Ronaldo, Anderson, Rio etc etc. retain their numbers.
We've got to go back to what we know next week against Arsenal. Carrick and Scholes in the middle as that's the most settled partnership, Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez. No doubt it will be Brown at right back as he's the best of a bad bunch we have at the moment, then Evra, Rio and Vidic.
AgentZero
11-02-2008, 11:43
What is really concering is our lack of goalscorers. Yes Ronaldo have been banging them in but aside from him its either tevez or rooney that we can count on to score. The other midfielders have to get in on the action aswell quick snap.
Yeah, even Saha has more than any of the other midfielders and he only has 4 goals.

The defence was a shambles to many balls given away cheaply in our own half. I think the portsmouth game is an idication of how good we can play, shame we didnt bring it to the occassion yesterday.
Lord Shrimpeh
11-02-2008, 13:08
It's been clear from the start of the season we need another striker, a target man, and no amount of goals from Cristiano Ronaldo can disguise that. How SAF hasn't thrown a boot into Saha's eye yet I have no idea.
Saha is exactly what we need when he's fit but that is rarely the case. Just found some interesting stats revolving around Rooney,

11-02-2008, 13:32
But rooney is hardly banging in the goals when he plays is he? Whats his total for the year, 6?
Yep but I think those stats show what he gives to the team in creativity. He drops so deep that Tevez and Ronaldo are usually ahead of him anyway so the lack of goals is probably down to that.
Tallulah Belle
11-02-2008, 13:48
OK, given that he has a high work rate, surely he would have more assists than goals then? That would be an interesting thing to see, how many he has set up. I think its probably below 5.

Nearly right
Well it's from that optostat thing which all the clubs are using nowadays. In comparison Ronaldo only has 10 assists from the optothingy which says something about Rooney creating more than Ronaldo but Ronaldo is putting more away.
Tallulah Belle
11-02-2008, 14:15
Understand that, but dont understand how, if your figures are right, that Rooney has made 36 assists in 16(??) games and no-one has made a who-har about it.
I'm not sure how it's worked out, it's obviously not direct assists. But what I'm saying is that they must use the same criteria for assists with everyone and if Rooney has 36 of these "assists" and Ronaldo has 10 it suggest's Rooney is creating more.

"We want to build our future on them.
"If he wants to exchange Cristiano Ronaldo for Ben Arfa we could talk about it, but they would have to also give us a bit of money."

Anderson was awesome. I bet hes the best player in the word in a few years. Hes awesome :dribble:
Not sure about that.
But as you're a Wigan fan, and probably don't know any better, I'll let you off.
Anderson will be class. He reminds me of Fabregas when he first came on the scene. His Charity Shield performance againstUnited in particular. Nothing that fancy, didn't score a crucial goal or set one up, but everything he was asked to do he did with minimal fuss and a look of quality. Anderson is the same. Him and Carrick have been United's best central midfield partnership this season and at the moment I think Anderson should be the only midfielder guaranteed a start in Paris.
As for the match, I think it's important not to over-exaggerate the significance of the result, but brilliant performances from Fletcher, Anderson, Nani and Carrick and the manner of our domination with half of our reserves playing is still a fantastic achievement. However our problem this season has never been the big games. We've hammered Chelsea, beaten the dippers and really should have beat Arsenal already in the league this season.
Still, a weekend with a resounding win for the shirts and an embarrassing defeat for the dippers should be savoured; regardless of the competition.
Anderson definitely has to start, which means that Scholes would probably stay on the bench as those two won't work unless playing in a 5 man midfield with Carrick or Hargreaves sitting behind them. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the selection turns out as it will be a difficult choice whether or not to go back to 4-4-2.
Ronaldo will start I guess, I would go Carrick and Anderson in the middle, then there isn't much between Giggs and Nani. Defence is not likely to change and then Tevez and Rooney up top.
SAF will go 4-5-1 I fear.

I maintain that I predicted it long before I had any idea that the draw was even half 1.
It's not the worst draw really, a bit dull but we always seem to beat em at OT. Cant wait for the face paint and the bells.

Argh, I'm bored of having premiership opposition. Mind you any lower and SAF will probably field reserves and we'll get knocked out. Portsmouth are the second hardest team but we should beat them easily enough. Just a bit boring that's all.

It is ridiculous, however pompey at home is a more than winnable game.
Was Ronaldo just left out against Arsenal as a precaution or is he injured?

We played well but didn't create enough, probably cos Rooney was up on his own and he's been looking a bit shit shy lately. However we deserved at least a 1-1 and I think we'll go through fine second leg. I don't really like 4-5-1 I think it#s a crap formation and never creates anything and often doesn't prevent the other team scoring either. It should be banned. What was with Tevez's hair though? He looked like Rambo.
Rooney hasnt really been shy latelty, just gotta look back to the weekend.
But I think 1-1 was the most we deserved to be honest and Tevez' goal was pretty lucky.

Was a good by Benzema, not a bad result really. I think we should see these off at Old Trafford though. I agree that we should have started 4-4-2, i can't believe Carrick didn't start after his performance at weekend.
I saw Fergie praising Benzema after the game, I think he's really keen on getting him to Old Trafford. Tevez is getting a bit of a knack for scoring important goals, I hope there's a few more to come yet.

I'd love Benzema to come, seen him a few times this season and last year too and everytime i have been impressed, tonight including. He wouldn't be cheap though.
Well apparantly we had a bid of £20 million knocked back and the Lyon chairman said the valuation is closer to £30 million. But this was all speculation from the papers so you never know how much is actually true.

Newcastle, not a problem. Toothless up front and a calamity at the back. Even playing like we did against City we should win this.

I hope you lot are right. Just remember though, this time last season we played Fulham at Craven Cottage and were battered for 80 minuted before Ronaldo produced that bit of magic to SOMEHOW get us 3 points.

Are you refering to the Newcastle game, if so I can see Man Utd hitting 5 past them again....
Interesting fact: last time Keegan was incharge when Man Utd faced Newcastle Newcastle won 5-0 so I just hope there are goals and plenty of them.
Ye are just lucky they sold Boomsong the Rock. lol.

Fulham? Cake walk.It's quite strange actually, we do actually have some very good personal now at the back. My first choice back 4 would be Beye, Cacapa, Faye (who is an absolute monster) and Enrique. I just don't think the ineptitude of our midfield is helping at all, this would be the main problem in my eyes why we are shipping so many goals. Our midfield cannot for their lives hold onto the ball, so this is putting far too much pressure on the defence and has been the case for some time now. We need to defend from the front as well, Owen has been working harder in that respect in recent weeks. One thing Bellamy and Shearer were so good at apart from the obvious was this. This then transfered through the rest of the team.
Also Given not being the keeper of old isn't doing anyone any good as well.

Admittedly, your defence has improved, but it never really seems to gel as a unit. The way our forwards rotate positions i think will cause you the same problems as last we met.

Oh right, my mistake, anyway, regarding what Fergie said about Brown/Agents
Wes Brown has cast doubts over his future at Manchester United by upsetting Sir Alex Ferguson with his wage demands.
Contract negotiations between the club and the England international have been ongoing for some time now, with Brown continuing to be reluctant to commit his long-term future to the Red Devils.
As a first-team regular and full international the defender feels that he is entitled to more than the £45,000 a week offer currently on offer and is reportedly determined to either hold out for a deal closer to £55,000 a week or go and find a club who will meet his demands.
United boss Ferguson is far from impressed by the player's current behaviour, but does admit that it is possible his full-back has been unduly influenced by his agent.
Depressing
"Players of today live in their agents' pockets," he said.
"It's a situation which depresses me at times, it really depresses me.
"Wes has been with us since he was 12, but I don't think that matters these days.
"Players' agents live their lives for them and if you are happy to go along with that, you get the situation you have got just now.
"But Wes knows this and the other players have told him.
"We wouldn't have made the offer if we hadn't had faith in him.
"It's in his hands. It's amazing really given that he has had such a good season and has had such a good run of games while Gary (Neville) has been injured."
I think it's right what Fergie is saying but i can also understand where Brown is coming from. Brown is probably the lowest earner in our starting line up and obviously feels he deserves to be on a similar wage to everybody else, but what i can't understand is that if Brown wants that much a week and United won't pay that much a week, what makes him think if he leaves another club will pay that much?

How do they come up with this shit!?
As for the standing... waste of time. Stadiums are all seaters, but people still stand.
Yous are playing us at an amazing time like, this team is somehow worse than last season. In fact it's probably the worst I've seen us play since '92 when we almost went down, but I was only a bairn since then. That's how bad we've been really since October, not Keegan's fault as well. No manager could do anything at the moment with this lot.

I made the mistake of going to Newcastle in a United shirt, i was there for work purposes and didn't think when putting my shirt on in the morning, it was a sunny day so when we finally arrived in Newcastle i thought i'd take my jacket off as i was hot, i walked into a chippy still not realising i was in Newcastle city centre wearing a Man United shirt, the looks i got were chilling as was some of the things that were said, i was reluctantly served by the lady in the chippy and was verbally abused by other customers, i quickly payed and ran back to the car. The Georgies love there football and they certainly do hate us, us being more succesful than them and everything ;)
But anyway, don't tell me we aren't fierce rivals
Jonny - No Manager has really been given time to try...
Edit: Sean - you go into virtually any town centre in an Man U shirt and you'll get a similar reaction.
For fuck's sake, go in the wrong pub in Manchester & you'll get worse.

Yeah fair point actually
Jonny - No Manager has really been given time to try...That's because things weren't working out for one reason or another tbf. Allardyce was never the new boards man as he was brought in just before, now they have their own man let us see where it takes us.
Time isn't necessarily a guarantee for success either btw, people always point to Fergie as a prime example of this, yet that is true. SBR was given time, we only finished mid-table in his first two seasons, but people could see that we were going in the right direction, where under previous regimes of the managers who haven't lasted long, this was plain for all to see.
Daliglish- From 2nd and the label of "The Great Entertainers" we went down to 14th or something in the space of a season. Although he did buy some good players who lasted us well over the years.
Gullit- We would have got relegated if he was to stay in charge, still done the noble thing of resigning though as he was about to get sacked.
Souness- Was given far too long, should never have been appointed in the first place.
Roeder- Had lost the dressing room and none of the players had respect for him.
Allardyce- I agree, not given enough time on this occasion, still had supporters backing though despite what the media tell you and how bad we were playing.

Big sam is the only one on your list who has bothe the balls & the tactical nous to have pulled off the Newcastle job. The rest of the list lack one or the other (or in the case of Roeder - both).
What he acheived at Bolton is often undervalued. Newcastle are in a similar boat. Limited cash, low morale etc. Hate to say it but i cannot see Keegan being the answer, they fans may like the idea of him being a manager again, but if the results don't come he'll soon go....
Yes I'm fully aware this is a double post, but is rightly justified given the time delay.
Just wanted to say hopefully it's a good atmosphere tomorrow, as yous normally bring the best sets of fans up like. Although I'll give it a good 5 minutes before the "Cheer up Kevin Keegan" chants start.

'Man U' fans?? Bitter rivalry??? That must be a wind up surely. The only rivalry United ever had with Newcastle was when we were both challenging for the league in the mid 90s. Same goes for Arsenal today. They aren't 'bitter rivalries' at all.
That partially goes to explain the differences in our performances against city and Arsenal the week after. I'm sure the players, and Fergie my have seen Arsenal as a bigger game... was it fuck. The city performace was a disgrace and I don't think I've said that on this site yet.
And aye.. United aways are always ace. Newcastle isn't the best given the million steps and the nosebleed seats... but it'll still be a great day.

There is no doubt in my mind that he will become a great player, well he is great already but you know what i mean, i'd be delighted if we signed him, but i read today Lyon want £45m, which is a load of shit probably, but even so he isn't going to be cheap, £20m+, and i can't see him being a starter, as i doubt fergie will drop Tevez or Rooney, unless he drops a midfielder and plays 4-3-3, but i'm digressing, i don't want to see a young talented player like him be sitting on the bench every week, especially when we will have to pay so much for him, much like Nani, i'm very disappointed he hasn't played more

We do miss a big forward at times, especially when we look for the long ball (which considering our forwards is too bleedin' often for my liking).

Maybe we could use Saha in a Benzema deal, straight swap?

Throw in Silvestre aswell as he's another French lad who they would probably welcome. Although even with those two they would probably still want £20m+.
There's going to be changes to the team that plays Newcastle, Fergie said today. Hopefully he still keeps Rooney and Ronaldo in the starting line-up because it's normally when one of those don't play, we drop points. I see a narrow victory over Newcastle tomorrow, definitely not a repeat of the Old Trafford result.

thoughts on wes brown rejecting the contract offer.
He has been a substitute for the majority of his career.
I think he sees no future at the club seeing as Man Utd are always buying. Wes Brown is pretty decent. He's not the worst player. He could very well be a starter at an average team like say Bolton, Wigan, Reading, Fulham or e.t.c
Also he apparently wants £65,000 p/w and they're "only" offering £55,000. What a twat. No one will pay him more than what's being offered.
Ooooook. What were his footballing skills like?
He looked sharp in front of goal, like he is now. I think I saw him do a roulette too. Bare in mind that it was only a few minutes of footage and he wasn't near a Zinedine Zidane of roughly the same age. I'll try find the video on YouTube, I think it has been uploaded on there.

SAF says that his agent is the twat and not him.
Yeah I'd read that.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has hit out at football agents after getting no closer to agreeing a contract extension
with Wes Brown.
The 28-year-old defender's current deal runs out in the summer, meaning he is free to speak to other clubs.
And Brown's agent Paul Martin is understood to have advised him to hold out for more than £50,000 per week.
"Players of today live in their agents' pockets - it's a situation which really depresses me," said Ferguson.
Brown has made 33 appearances for Manchester United this season, largely because of a persistent injury to club captain Gary Neville.
"It's in his hands. It's not in our hands," said Ferguson.
"We have given him his offer. It's amazing really, given that he has had such a good season and has had such a good run of games while Gary has been injured.
"We wouldn't have made the offer if we hadn't had faith in him. Wes knows this and the other players have told him."
Ferguson added: "Wes has been with us since he was 12 but I don't think that matters these days. Their agents live their lives for them and if you are happy to go along with that then you get the situation that you have got just now."

Second goal was Barton's fault for being shit as usual, but United clearly have too much quality. I'd settle for more endeavour, maybe a goal, in the second half, but ideally Faye will do a sliding challenge near the dug-out and his momentum will carry him into Ferguson and he'll suffer an Eduardo style fate.
You're just a team of thugs nowadays I'm afraid. I used to think teams would fear playing against Keane, Scholes and Butt - who will just kick you. But Barton, Smith and Butt - scary.
Owen is lucky to still be on the pitch. Reputation came first there.

It wasn't even a yellow, he merely caught the top of Vidic's knee, if the cunt hadn't gone down like his mother back in Belgrade there wouldn't have been any problems.
And those guys aren't thugs, they're just fucking shit and are killing our team with their shocking inability to pass the ball. The only thing scary about them is their complete lack of any talent.

He had no intention to go for the ball. You're lucky Wenger isn't around, he may be asking that Owen be banned for life, dressed as a schoolboy and left in a hole with Gary Glitter.
Well Barton is dirtycuntish enough to be scary IMO.
Let's just try to keep a clean sheet.

Yeah why just not be a glory hunter and support a proper team eh?
We all laughed at Munich and I have it on good accounts that Duncan Edwards would have been fucking shit anyway.

A proper team, like Whocastle? I was a fan before we started dominating Englsih football, but I'll overlook this as you're just being a bitter bastard.

Hello Jonny.
As with Barndoor, I'm not going to make too much out of your remarks as I'm aware of your hated/jealousy of Utd.

We are a mere part of an enormous grouping who take a similar stance.

I know, and it doesn't bother me. It's just a shame that this can sometimes get on your nerves so much, you have to start with the glory hunter comments.

Difference is though, Newcastle are fucking shit. My point was about going to games - you could go to games and still be a glory hunting - its just that supporting Man Utd is the easiest thing in the world.

I know what you're saying mate but you said "you're not a real fan" and it just seemed a bit hypocritical from what you're basing it on. Hairy muff though, I hate United as much as the next guy.

Fair enough.
I'm glad Saha bagged a goal at the end there, if he gets some confidence he could play a big part in the run in. If he's fit then I've always thought he was good enough to be in the squad every week as he gives us a different option. Ronaldo and Rooney looked like they are keeping up there good form too, thank God.
I reckon we will see a lot more of Fletcher for the rest of the season as he's looking shit hot at the moment and is showing a hell of a lot of loyalty to the club by biding his time and then taking his chance when he got it. We have a bit of a dilemma when it comes to the centre midfield positions as Scholes, Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson and Hargreaves are all looking for a position. Carrick, Fletcher and Anderson are the in-form ones but Scholes and Hargreaves are the more complete players in my opinion. It's a good problem to have though.
Every game recently Nani is looking more and more like Ronaldo which is obviously great news, I've been impressed because he is having a far better first season than Ronaldo did when he came over but that is probably down to Ronaldo being able to help him out.
We obviously got the momentum now but Arsenal actually have the points on the board, it will be settled by the games between us, Arsenal and Chelsea.
I agree with most of what you said Top Gun.
Hargreaves should really improve his passing to be called a more complete player. Even Carrick is a better passer of the ball than him.

There's even an outside chance I've been to Old Trafford more times than he has been to St James' Park!

Ended up going for a curry at about 3am man, my arse piece is quite regretting that decision now.
The game is pretty much a blur thankfully, due to my birthday celebrations conjoining with the match, which is a good thing, and I did have a cracking night out after the match despite the usual on it!

I'd have to pay probably something like a hundred quid (at least) a time, travel hours there and back, just to see a rancid pile of shit. Sounds enjoyable doesn't it? I might not be a real fan in that sense but I like to consider myself a sensible one. But at least I'm a real fan in that its actually a challenge supporting the team.
