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

[Mika]

It's not that I'm against him or anything, just that I'm not going to go beserk about how good he is when I have only seen him play a handful of times. I know o his reputation as a great younger player and everything, and if he is as good as he is made out then fine, but I haven't seen him enough myself to judge. Like Heinze, Vidic, Evra etc I'll reserve judgement until he's at OT in a United shirt and performing.

Johnny Evans with a short back pass but Foster out to make the tackle and come away with the ball about 10/15 yards outside his own box.

[wakeyrocket]

Tbh i'd have taken Defoe while he was at West Ham when we could still have moulded him but now i wouldn't touch him since when did we resort to buying Spurs' 3rd choice striker?

I'm all behind SAF trying to sign Davis from Villa £5million or less should get him

Shi*e, however OH had a game at OT and we never got him so fingers crossed.

If each team got one player each which would you prefer? I think we need JM more than we need Tevez

Carrick ahead of Fletch and you've got it.

Although we've not seen the best of Carrick yet, the only thing Daz has above him is that he 'runs about a bit more'. Maybe. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

What Mika said. So far, Fletcher has done everything Carrick has with the ball, but with energy and mobility on top. This isn't to judge Carrick long term, but on current form Fletcher all the way. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Exactly what he said. Carrick will come good, I think, although I still have my doubts about him and Scholesy working together.

MOTM was Paddy for me, Ole narrowly beating Scholes, Rooney and Giggs for 2nd. Stats will be updated after MOTD.

[Coldberg]

Not sure what time I am going to get to the wall at.

My mate is coming so I cant expose him to you 'internet people' for too long.

Keith I think you shouldn't bother coming on Sunday tbh. It'll only be a letdown.

[Saha]

Ah yeah, I remember now. Cheers Jamesjogmymemory07.

[ACou2000]

he was only offside for a split second.. but I'm sure it was the exact split second that Rooney passed it

Poor Pompey, just can't get out of their half

The only way I watch United now. And it varies from place to place - quite a few 'obvious' reds at Fulham and the home fans were fine with them, whereas at Chelsea it's best to keep a very low profile...

Ratings from Skysports.com

VDS - 6

Nev - 8

Rio - 7

Vida - 7

Evra - 7

Ron - 7

Carrick - 6

Scholes - 7

Giggs - 8

Rooney - 9

Saha - 7

Giggs an 8? I thought his distribution was very poor today.

not seen the game today, general consensus seems to be Ronnie was going to ground a bit easily? obviously can't judge myself, but if he was it's a definite rarity this season as he's cut it out big-time so far. and i'm not going to quibble with getting a dodgy penner when you consider how many stonewall pens we have turned down on a frustratingly regular basis.

utterly delighted with that result anyway, massive banana skin dodged, and the team's showed there's a steel there that's been lacking for quite a while.

FLETCH \O/ </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

On the penalty issue, i'd take your point if it was a good tackle that got the ball but was called a pen, but this was a pretty blatant dive, and should be called what it is, which is cheating.

As for him generally, i only saw MOTD, and there was one other pretty blatant dive that they showed, but i can't talk about how he was generally.

I'd prefer winning the league and getting knocked out of the CL in the next round.

Btw missing out on winning the league because of Liverpool is worse than Citeh imo.

giggs did, nev did, vds did, scholes and rooney did from afar. others may have without me noticing, only one who definitely didn't was ronaldo who disappeared off down the tunnel like a shot. they certainly didn't shun us or anything like that. those who didn't probably didn't want to damage their necks trying to look up in our direction.

[Gazz22]

Seba's pass to Forlan in the last minute against Chelsea was something special. The game was heading for a 1-1 draw and we needed a win to have a chance of the title. That game is usually forgotten among the games in that 02-03 season.

honestly sometimes i despair at society. the other day there were people ringing in praising the glazers for bringing in larsson, saying the boycotters were not true fans and claiming the 'problems' with abramovich at chelsea prove just how well our american chums are balancing things.

when you stop to think the influence of the media on people it is depressing

[Mika]

Yeah ACou was watching the stream and said to me on MSN that he wasn't great too.

Well done Sue. Take no notice of the idiots who post comments excusing Ferdinand. Good footballer, maybe, but he, like many others, needs to grow up, set a better example to young fans and learn to smile occasionally. Apologising afterwards is not enough. He shouldn't have kicked the ball into the crowd in the first place. The recipient could have been a small child in a wheelchair.

</div></BLOCKQUOTE>

he could have hit a plane at Manc Airport and caused multiple fatalities

[James07?]

The utter horror of Liverpool making it 6 times against us would wipe away any feeling of joy from whatever we might have done in the previous couple of weeks. Double or no double losing to the scouse in Athens would be a bad as it gets and has to be avoided at ALL costs.

Under almost any circumstances I’d take winning the premiership over the champions league…but not if we’re getting beaten by them

[ACou2000]

they're all big ones now

[gonch19]

if we had to get one id prefer huntelaar cos i think we need a poacher type, but tevez is f'in awesome so either way id be delighted.

cant see us getting either tbh, if we got both i'd cream my pants
