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

Mascherano before Carrick

[Nick OGS20]

No to Riquelme. Lovely player to watch but I'm not at all convinced he could hack the Premiership, and he seems a bit of a bottler to me.

Fairly sure it was #4, but you might want to check with Mark, more his era.

Why let both Howard and Foster out on loan if it means we have to spend up to £4m on a new back up keeper?

Scholes makes a rare break forward and goes past a couple of players before playing it to Giggs who tries to feed Rossi inside the box but the ball ends up whacking Scholes in the old love sausage and coming to nothing. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

You should work for the BBC.

[Nick OGS20]

I think a return to 433 is looming. Ideally a 4231, with Carrick and Senna (if he signs) holding and Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes and Saha as a fairly fluid front 4. Still means we're not perhaps playing Rooney is his best position though.

[fazpac]

hahaha did anyone see the rooney thing on sky sports?

Cesc :*****)

BBB's team is by far the best

[Wakey06]

My Team;

Jaaskelainen

Terry, Vidic, Dawson

Gerrard ©, Smith, Parker, Reo-Coker

Berbatov, Bellamy, Rooney

Gone for Smith because he'll be playing as a striker again this season so its like playing with 4 up top

By the way, a footnote to the Rooney/Scholes bans:

Ade Akinbiyi was sent off at the weekend playing for Sheffield United away at Sparta Rotterdam. The incident was included in the match report by the referee, but then not sent on to the FA by the Dutch FA. Is it any wonder we feel a bit hard done by and that there's one rule for us and one for the rest? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

So is the conspircay theory now that all the FA's in the world have it in for us, or is it just the English and Dutch so far?

Read every word dude. One complaint though.

Can't believe you started cataloguing mark vs. me but neglected to include my mighty return after a public outcry at my decision not to fight and my eventual victory! Twas epic I tell ya!

Obviously you're not gonna post what I said but at least include the post where I'm declared the victor.

Tbh I can't even remember what the disagreement was about now anyway...but still I'm not quotable like everyone else so I'm taking these victories where I can get them

Grrr I knew you would fence-sit, go wild, be hypothetical.

Hmmm I'm not so sure you won't win it you know, Glazer's have made such an impact already, if they keep investing at the curent rate another treble would seem imminent.

[Saha]

How do you suppose the players win the game if the tactics have them, say, playing on the wing if they're a striker or in midfield if they're a leftback?

Yorke would have counted as an assimilated player wouldn't he? I'm assuming he came the youth setup at Villa? Would give a few more options if so.

Hold up lads, we played **** tonight but lets not go overboard with every second stringer being shipped out after this performance just because we're ****ed off.

Goal 1 AFFG: Rio

Goal 2 AFFG: Silvestre or O'Shea

-couldn't see from the replay who was more culpable for losing Lita.

[pjburrage]

Not counting the 6000 corporate fans probably.

[No Longer Bling]

i googled it

what a ****ing lad. legend in the making, still buzzing over that interview.

He's played 9, scored 3, and assisted 2. Not bad playing for a side in dire relegation trouble.

If you don't understand don't worry

[RSB]

Cracking day, shame we couldn't send em down, but between the team we put out and the Cup final looming, nevermind the fact that we once again dominated from first to last yet let in the only goal, and could've feasibly had a penner against, you can't really complain.

MOTM: Wesley. Absolutely immense, again. Please don't sell him, such a valuable back-up. Still maintain his off-periods this season are more of a blip than anything, when you think of his pre-Vida and late season form.

2nd: Gaby. Seemed back to himself today, though still quite clearly not a centre half. So many full blooded death or glory challenges though. Good to see.

Thought Sheasy, Fletch and, yes, Our Kier all had good games today. Sorry lads, but I think Kier should be retained til at least January. Let him fill Park's 'wing cover' role til he's fit again, then see if Homohair's still sufficiently **** to deserve chucking off. But for me, the last few games since the Roma booing - hopefully that scared some sense into him - he's been reasonable to very good, and good overall. Today I thought he was class - sound touch, good decision making, made simple passes when he needed too, made clever passes when he could, ran at players and unsettled them, and is always dangerous with a shot from distance. I was as anti-Richardson as anyone, but I really do think he's turned a corner lately, and he's worth a bit more time. Richardson > Silvestre in the summer selling stakes by a long chalk, imo.

CHAMPIONS!
