yup there's something rotten with transfers at old trafford! to depend on Solskjaer for goals at the age of 33 when he has not played for 2 years is crazy! Smith was never that good a goalscorer. So that leaves the club with Rooney who has never scored that many either...

Something rotten I tell you!

and in the meantime, we keep Silvestre who is looking more and more baffled by that leather roundie thing on the pitch...we should try to nearly sell him to Lyon or sthg </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

what I meant was that I posted last night , what i meant was that the most important thing was that we signed someone . Sure I would have preffered to get him cheaper , but United are generally crazy when it comes to negoiating fee's , so I'm not going to get hung up about it.

that '?' should be a 6, and (according to stretfordend at least) Ronaldo has 28, but that's correct.

Then it's Saha with 25, Smith with 10, Richardson and Silvestre with 8, and Gary Nev and O'Shea with 7.

[Young Jimlad]

I forget, how long after the application process is closed for any particular game is the ballot for One United members held? Waiting on news about my Newcastle application.

As for the CL home ties, can't even apply for Celtic tickets yet on the site (shambles), but a more realistic option for me is going to be the Copenhagen game anyway.

Player of the Month - Scholes, no contest.

Worst player of the month - Richardson, as always.

Most improved player of the month - Carrick, Impressed me for the first time against Chelsea.

Goal of the month - Ronaldo's free-kick against Pompey.

Moment of the month - Seeing the teamsheet against Everton and managing not to top myself.

yeah, bursting into the box on the right hand side. the everton and villa goals were pretty identical as well i think - overlapping into the box and scoring from a tight angle. can't recall the Boro one in detail, probably fits one or both of those scenarios.

Basle's the odd one out

oh, Mika. Do you think Ruud answers every question that's posed? Do you think he's media savvy enough to know comments like that would find their way onto the back pages as soon as he'd shut his gob?

red nevs return utterly vital now as at least then we can stick brown at cb. hes way off the pace at the mo but can be superb alongside rio when hes settled. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

What he said about Brown. I didn't see him today, but before then i'd have also said he's improved already over the last few weeks, and he's been playing out of position. While you'd play Vidic, Brown's an excellent backup.

Again excluding today, i'd also say that John O'Shea has also played pretty well the last few time he's played right back. While we want Gary back ASAP, until then with Evra almost back i think that gives us two pretty good options for the back 4, either

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> O'Shea Rio Wes Evra </pre>

or

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> Wes Rio Gabby Evra </pre>

either of which are decent.

They'd wait until West Ham surely?

Wouldn’t have thought that they’d deprive the masses with tickets at the West Ham game a chance to see the trophy raised in triumph. Also doubt Chelsea would go for an all out hand-over at the Bridge just so Fergie can have it sat next to him on the coach back up to Manchester. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

forget that, if Chelsea don't win tomorrow, have it presented PRIOR to kick off on Wednesday.. and have the trophy say next to Fergie on the bench during the game.

Huntelaar & Hargreaves signing plus a winger would soon get me over the cup final.

The bad thing with losing a cup final is its the final game of the season so we dont have another game a week later to take our minds off it. Still we have to remember we won the league.

Also on Ronaldo, this isnt a go at Matt Cav but i've noticed if Ronaldo doesnt single handedly win us the big games people straight away get on his back.

People forget that hes 22, he cant be great in all games and more often than not the big teams double up on him.

It also doesnt help that the 4-5-1 be patient and wait thing doesnt suit him or us as a team. he is often left isolated and alone with no help. If he doesnt have people taking other players away he cant find those gaps and has to beat the whole team to do something.

Likewise when he gets down the wing he has to dawdle and stop and allow the defenders back in front of him because he has nobody to pass/cross the ball to.

People say Ronaldo doesnt perform in the big games but you look at the big games and hes usually our best player, especially in europe with our awful away displays.

I'm not going to say he performed in the cup final or against Milan away but then we werent geared up to attack, we played to stop the other side and as usual it cost us.

On his free kicks. Give him one from 35 yards plus and hes great. Close in though his power shots dont work because the wall isnt far enough away. It does frustrate as well because i've seen him bend them before like these two.
