Right lads, I've just acquired some interesting information about which teams are listed as our rivals in the upcoming FM2007. Thought you might find this interesting:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">

Liverpool 21

Man City 19

Leeds 18

Arsenal 17

Chelsea 15

Blackburn 14

Newcastle 13

Bolton 12

West Ham 11

</div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I've only just stopped laughing at everyone below the top three, and I was told this ten minutes ago.

christ alive, all this Hargreaves talk has come from a couple of us saying what a good player he'd be in the holding role for us and how he's a good player.

Now everybodies talking about £8m bids or being included in any deal that takes Ruud the other way.

Like we're actually in for the guy. icon_biggrin.gif

well at least fergie lists emerson as 'one to watch' in the juventus thing. no mention of camoranesi tho which is a shame.

about the only thing that would make me feel good about the coming season would be torres and gattuso. get a feeling ill be settling for defoe and carrick at best tho.

A British Airways flight from Heathrow to New York has been turned back after a mobile phone was heard ringing at the back of the plane.

No-one on board the plane admitted owning the phone, banned under current security restrictions, so flight BA179 returned to the London airport.

I was born in St.Mary's as well, although Stepping Hill was always my local hospital and i still do some work there.

Half my family (my mums side) were blues, and my dad's side are celtic fans, but i had the good luck of both growing up in manchester and a dad who realised he should take me to see the decent manchester team icon_biggrin.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

do you know VENDMAN? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

no icon_confused.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It's late, and i've been drinking. You'll have to explain. When you say the pub, do you mean the George and Dragon, which is the nearest pub i can think of?

It's extremely selfish giving someone a ticket for a game who has no interest in football whatsoever really. Especially when it's so hard to get tickets to watch United away from home.

It's times like this I wish I supported a lesser club as getting tickets would be so much easier icon_frown.gif

Rooney icon_cool.gif

btw all the talk suddenly of Ronnie being 'miles better' than Rooney is so wrong.

Wayne ifffffb... it's just that for the majority of this season they have been at completely opposite ends of the form spectrum.

It fills me with warm fuzzy joy that both are in our side

Aye thats fair but I was thinking more about general benefits of experience and fluidity of a maturing team more easily transferring their league performances, or a marginally refined version of them to European competition, and the management being more prepared to trust that in the CL rather than seeing the need to protect any perceived weaknesses, which is probably one of Fergie's issues at present when it comes to this set of players.

Okay, thats clearly a really bad run-on sentence but I can't be bothered to mess about with it...

I'd like to hear Mark's opinion on Giggsy's performance, bearing in mind his reputation for a well balanced perspective on this issue... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It'll sound like i'm sitting on the fence, but taking the goal out of the equation he just didn't stand out for me at all, he blended in with the general mediocrity of our overall performance. I do think there were a couple of very good moments (the goal in particular), and some awful ones (letting the ball run under his foot when he would have had a run on goal stood out), which makes me wonder whether people have remembered the good and forgotten the bad, or vice versa, depending on their perspective? Why that would have emerged as a split between people who were there and people who watched on TV i've got no idea, so it could be rubbish.

we could always give Dong a chance off the bench against Boro.

We are already in agreement that Smudger ought to start against Boro to help aide his need for games now he may be required to start once Henke goes.

So if Dong is gonna be required as backup, then why not try it against Boro when we don't really have all that much to lose? icon14.gif

If he comes off the bench and scores, then we know he can be trusted icon_smile.gif

Ah, good point. Email it is then.

RE: Taz's Transfers...

Reo-Coker - still think he's got potential but he was always a if the price was right and we missed out on a lot of other options for that position. He's been a bit unfairly vilified for West Ham's shortcomings IMO this year but I assume Fergie won't have him anywhere near the top of his list so its a non-starter for me.

Pique - would be happy to see him go out on loan again if he's not going to get near the 1st team & I personally don't want to see a player with such potential be discarded/reluctantly let go just yet.

Richards - Really don't see what the long-term fuss with this lad is. Yes the raw physical capacity of the lad is excellent but from what I have seen I'm not convinced he's got the mental or technical stuff in his locker in the long run as far as development goes. Would personally prefer a different type of right back really. I also have concerns that he's being blooded because he's physically ready for top level football and put in at full-back because the responsibility is less in that position than it is at CB, where I would assume he's likely to end up, but never quite at the top end of the scale. If I'm proved wrong in the future so be it but at the minute I'm thinking he's going to have more parallels with Wes' career than say Sol Campbell's.

United Thread Worst User: Rcjuk, he's good irl, he never shares his chips, tried to take over Mika's position as team news guru, never bought the beer EVER this season and didn't let us use his book for aways.

and pre-season's awesome. grounds you never normally get the chance to see, football after a few horrific months without it, first glimpse of new signings etc. Peterborough does seem mental expensive though, Macclesfield was only a tenner last year iirc.
