The Manchester United thread 2006/2007 - featuring BBB leaving early

[pjburrage]

Mika ever the pessimist

[snipersdream]

And while we're on pointless agression; where's Keyser at the moment? He's not tied up with antenatal club meetings already surely?

Dawson was excellent last season. Not as good as Wes, but still very good, and as such I don't see why Spurs would be so desperate to get Wes. Nor for that matter would there be any reason for Wes to even consider going down there :/ </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

He might want to go because he wants to play for a top 4 team next season

You can have Zlatan if you want.

Heh, buying Nedved now would have been exactly like the type of signing Chelsea would have made, 7 or 8 years ago.

Well we're certainly not like Chelsea who can splash out around £40m on foreign 30 year olds each summer. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Why did you put £40m?? Is that how much you paid for Rooney and Rio?? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

£30m for Shevchenko + £5m a piece on wages for Ballack and Shevchenko for this year. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah because Rio doesn't get anywhere near £5m a year does he. Christ I mean what am I on about!!!

Since being used in this position he has been considered increasingly impressive by fans and pundits alike, and is considered to have played a significant role in providing the stability which enabled United to extend their winnning run to 9 games, after defeating rivals Arsenal 2-0 on Sunday 9th April 2006. It is now widely believed that he is regaining to the form which made him an exciting prospect several seasons previously. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

[JulesMUFC]

any news on our non ingerland internationals?

I guess Evans did well for NI keeping a clean sheet? McShane (i know not with us but i still keep an eye out) did well for RI by the looks of it along side o shea dispite having to mark a giant? Portugal lost to poland, no idea how ronaldo did. Sahahaha scored as already stated. Did Vidic play for Serbia? they won 3-0 iirc.

Sooner we start coming round to the fact that Fergie is never going to give Jones a chance, the better.

Clearly he'd rather re-register himself as a player, Ian Holloway-style than give the lad 15 minutes run-out in a dead game.

[gonch19]

btw what is that song that goes

something something something something something something is the leadeeeerrrr of our football team, he s the greatest centre forward that the wooooorld has ever seen.

I think he already said he will changing it or if not saying Heinze et al are all pushing for a place against Celtic.

The problem of course with the notion of debating the merits of particular players relative to a specific form of categorization is that the parameters used to define said category inevitably play a part in the discussion.

The Rooney love does drive me nuts though, before hes even done anything hes hailed as great and brilliant and the best player in the world no matter how bad of form hes in.

He's obviously a special talent who's had a run of indifferent form. Why shouldn't the crowd make him aware of their love for him regardless of his form? It may not make a difference, but it's more likely to help him and take the pressure of him than indifference or booing would, so i don't see the problem.

good stuff, puts us top of the league iirc. that's our season done though and Bolton, Citeh and Boro all have games in hand to overtake us, so it'll take a bit of a miracle for us to stay there.

[McMaster#28]

Will Dong get a game before the end of the season

[Taz & The Devil]

Shocking performance. We get it all wrong away from home in Europe again. Why is it the same everygame when it doesnt ever work?

Fergie left it to the 78th minute to change it. Why when needing to score two do we slow it down and carry on with the patient stuff?

Just a crap performance. No get up and drive in the team.

Heinze had a first half that made Silvestre look like the best player in the world on his worst day.

Giggs and Rooney trying to see who could make the most passes without finding a man. Giggs doesnt even look before playing the ball.

Thought Carrick was crap as well. Ronnie was poor.

Just sh!te all round. In fact Scholes i thought was our best player tonight.

Please god have Rio and Evra play on Saturday.

What more can i say? Just gutted to lose and i cant see Liverpool not beating them in the final.

How can only Paul Scholes look like he give a **** when nobody had played in a CL final before except Giggs?

Yeah, the whole Liverpool Citeh thing isn't the cause of his ****ishness in my eyes, it just reinforces it.

I think he'd get 20 odd goals if he stayed fit and was given a full run, because like I said, he's a lot like Saha (and before anyone mentions it, he WOULD have got 20 goals had he not been made out of glass ).
