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

[Blaine]

Gripper, will MUFC be removed from FCUM's rivals this year?

[Blaine]

Just seen Rossi in Altrincham.

Probably him who has put all the anti-Glazer stickers round Alty.

[alilaw]

I trust Keyser when it comes to rooting out scum who pretend to be United fans when actually being fans of a rival team.

Means 'pig climber' in German, I'm reliably informed.

Ronaldo's diving did embarass me a bit tonight... particularly when he's actually clear of his man and could put a ball in.

[Confused Clarity]

People wanting Beckham back.

[Saha]

I'm going to wait until they syphon through onto eBay

I can't get excited about signing Carrick at all at the moment. I think he's a good player in the right midfield, but i'm not convinced we've either got the right player to play next to him or that we'll sign someone for that job, and i think we've overpaid as well.

It's not that i think it's a bad buy, i'm just a bit 'meh' about it.

[Timmy Howard]

That was from M.E.N by the way

[BBB]

I'm going to Amsterdam in the morninnnnnnnnng

[No Longer Bling]

haha sorry

i knew it was really im just trying to divert attention.

BEST NOT LET BBB JOIN HE WILL JUST LEAVE THE GAME EARLY ANYWAY

[Confused Clarity]

I'm the same as mark really with this.

I've been saying for a while, since we were first linked with Carrick how much i wanted him. In fact i think it was me and PJ going on about him constantly that was what caused the original rumours about him coming during the summer.

Play him alongside Carrick you have two very different sitting midfielders.

With a player like Rooney who likes to come looking for the ball, they'll be able to give it to him in the way that he likes to receive it.

Two wingers will be able to push further forward, be a bit more advanced and it allows for a nice, flowing midfield unit which is geared towards a pacey attack.

[ACou2000]

yes you're weird.

I just made Ronaldo my captain. He's going to ROCK this season.

[Mika]

I nearly had Henning Berg in mine, he was 11th or 12th.

[theis]

Park is an extremely strong bench player.

No more. A poor starting player imo.

[player_65]

yes it was Ole, another european campaign butchered, unlike recently where we've been sh*te, we actually were pretty good then

[ACou2000]

err maybe.... I knew this'd happen though /o\

cos I'm off to football and wont be down here for weekend, plan was to have a couple'o'pints tonight.. though i imagine id be back at some point not too late

[Saha]

bardsley > ronaldo

[Saha]

Nah, get Ryan to do the 'thinking man' pose, so it looks like he's thinking over that post.

MotM: Scholes

Runner-up: Ronaldo

I can understand non-United fans slagging off Ronaldo but why do some United fans get dragged into it? On footballing terms Ronaldo was involved in both of our goals. Once again he was our only player who showed urgency to try and get the game won.

That's the most worrying bit?

[Coldberg]

Why exactly are you searching for his myspace?

[Young Jimlad]

He's engaging in a hypothetical...

[Nick OGS20]

seriously baffled as to why anyone would pay £50+ for shirts from the megawhore. i've got:

06/07 short-sleeved home + Solskjaer 20

06/07 short-sleeved away + Scholes 18 (european numbering)

06/07 long-sleeved home + Giggs 11 (european numbering)

off ebay for a combined total of less than one megawhore one

[BBB]

Right, I've now eaten so can type without getting grease on my keyboard.

Myself, Jonny and Nick arrived in London with plenty of time, texted Juni but the gaylord took ages to arrive, Jules met up with us, ditto Alilaw. The latter suitably sh*tting himself when my ticket bloke didn't turn up till after KO

Walked up to our seats, to find that there were no seats so we were stood in the aisle, fantastic atmosphere at first (United calypso ftw) then they scored and it went flat, then we equalised and went MENTAL, second half not so good really, I sent Mika/Juni the same text at 14.12 "I can't believe we've drawn here today" anti jinx ftw.

then it happened, ronaldo ran, took on 1, took on 2, shot and boom, utter bedlam, my glasses flew off but I managed to grab them and still go utterly mental, ended up a few stairs down too

Oh so happy, next week SO crucial

[Ratinho]

Commentary for the Neville dive and sending off is ace.

[Emersonlfc]

Brown in, then?

[Nick OGS20]

oh yeah, almost forgot - fergie trying to catch the ball and failing miserably wffffffb

and when ole scored, as well as the apologetic look you had the likes of rio and smudger coming over and clearly saying something along the lines of "bloody hell, you always bloody score"

precisely whs. Mikel's improved from the waste of space he was earlier in the season but i'd still take the £12m now any day of the week.

[ericcantona7]

I'd knock Leeds down a bit, I really couldn't give a **** about them, but maybe that's just me, Liverpool and City are surely much much rivals than them? Maybe just take them down to 18.

Everton I wouldn't see as rivals at all, at least knock them down to level with Blackburn.

[ACou2000]

if, for some bizarre reason, it HAD to be one of those... I think I'd go with b) :/

just because Rio CANNOT be injured for our run-in

[gonch19]

literally shaking with fear about how our patchwork defence is going to cope with the likes of kaka and inzaghi, but with milan's aging defence there may be some joy for ronaldo what with his pace.

thought we looked tired against boro, if we look as weary as we did then they'll take us apart

kind of a 4231 as well as 433 and 451

it's ridiculously fluid at times. find lots of our players go to the right.. the left... up top... drop deep... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

At times when we've played it with a really attacking mentality, the football has been fantastic, it must be so hard to defend against when the front 4 are all rotating around from right to left with Scholes/Carrick willing to roam forwards at will as well.
