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

[Asmodeus]

Cheers.

That's what I always thought- he was a bit of a scapegoat; although I assumed there must be some evidence of his influence, seeing as he's seemingly disliked by so many?

[Ryno]

That's rich coming from you.

Yeah, we had one in '99, should clearly introduce one again.

From a luck standpoint or to help the clubs bank balance?

I'm not saying i'd take it him but what about Klose? Newcastle and Liverpool are watching him and possibly Arsenal-he's proven he's a good target man but i'm not sure how he'd cope in EPL

2 pints.

if this goes tits up now i will be so gutted, and i didnt even want the **** at the start of the summer.

Not called him a winker in that story, I'm shocked.

As pointed out earlier on the page, MUTV say Fergie wont consider Saha, Silvestre and Ronaldo for the Fulham game. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Ok, I'll read the thread before I post in future. Whats wrong with them? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Nothing, all had extra time off because of exploits in the world cup so havent played any pre season games for us and have only been in training for a week so he doesnt think they will be ready in time. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

they aren't definitely being left out taz. they need games but they'll get them and id expect to see them play particularly if rooney and scholes are banned.

fergie also said he's probably going to leave ronaldo out against oxford on tuesday to 'save him for a home game.' clearly anticipating a hot reception for him and thinking its not worth the hassle for a pre-season game.

heinze, silvestre and saha will also be back for tuesday \o/

[James07?]

Rooney stamped. Where's the confusion?

I bet Ryan can still get on the bus for 50p or whatever it is they charge now.

I'm coming round to the view that our Kieran is overly-maligned and not that much of a massive **** really.

Clearly still clownshoes, but harmless enough with it

Oh good grief Fergie, you senile old twat

whs basically. The full story is not and probably wont be known for some time. Funny to see the spazzing out though. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Completely irrelevant. The main anger is being directed at David Gill saying we didn't consider Mascherano to be a player we required. Either he's lying when saying that, and can f**k right off, or he's telling the truth, in which case he can f**k right off and take Fergie with him. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

word for word everything nick has said about the whole shambolic affair. no matter what way you look at it, this has been one royal feck up.

there can be no excuses now - we're knocking back world class midfielders. if we don't win things this season, ta ra fergie. no more building a side, no more transition. all or bust.

i've already voiced my opinion in the transfer thread that mascherano >>> makelele. even if you disagree with that, it's very hard to argue against jm being one of the worlds most sought after and highly rated players in his position. the fact gill claims we just knocked him back as opposed to failed in negotiations or some such, but knocked him back cold... *seethes*

mate, can't speak for everyone, but for myself, and i imagine plenty of others, it would preferable if they just came out and said that rather than treating us all like fecking imbeciles every ten seconds. i know there'd be backlash by the MUST/MEN paraders, but it'd certainly keep a large section of the fans off of fergie's back if/when things go pear shaped this season.

So last night…

MOM: Paul Sch…just kidding!

Really this time:

MOM: Michael Carrick

2ND: Nemanja Vidic

I know people will probably be heralding the “Return of the Roon†because he was involved in some lovely link up play last night but I was honestly more impressed with the two players above. Carrick had his best hour of football for us so far IMO last night before being subbed and Vidic was a rock. Evra was good again as well though I still want better crossing from him.

VDS rarely troubled. O’Shea was solid apart from when he fell over on his arse and somehow managed to get himself a goal (not at the same time mind). Wes was fine but overshadowed by Viddy. Fletch looked off the pace last night and couldn’t get his delivery together really. Didn’t really look ready to be back in the fray but he’ll be back up to snuff soon enough. Scholesy was good again, great strike for the opener and should have had a penalty, but was ever so slightly less influential than he has been recently I thought. Ronaldo showed a couple of flashes but didn’t really get himself into the game & Saha was nowhere all night for me.

The subs didn’t do a whole lot, good to see Smudge get a few mins and just as I was deriding the fact that Richardson had come on for Scholes ahead of DJ given that the game was won he gets typically lucky with a long ranger – but hey, they all count so fair play. If you don’t buy a ticket and all that…

Overall weren’t really tested but some nice football was played at times so a good nights work especially with us clearly being able to give Saha, Carrick and Scholes time off towards the end. One more win and we can enjoy the last two games, but we should really be looking at making a statement, maintaining our form, and pushing for maximum points from this group dependant on the surrounding domestic fixtures.

Saw that in the metro this morning

Blind, yet still the best player in the Premiership this season

Though I think he's a superhero, and he passes on his blindness to others (like the Liverpool defenders)

[something less annoying]

How'd Evra do there?

yeah, coz we have an abundance of strikers just sitting around waiting to get a game atm?

repeat for wingers actually. we HAD to win tonight. our squad is too thin to get into a protracted race for the title. the only way we finish as champions is if chelsea fall a few more behind and then drop more points because of the pressure of playing catch up. going to bolton now for example will be a hell of a lot easier than it would if they were already six behind.

It's not just for Euro aways - you can only apply for domestic aways if you've been to all prior home cup games, so i'd have not been able to apply for all the decent aways we have coming up after christmas.

And besides, the UEFA might throw us up some interesting places to visit. A return to Amsterdam certainly appeals...

[McMaster#28]

Play Dong ffs

[pjburrage]

what Mart said. Could have probably gone to a number of clubs or stayed at Reading and would have done better than he will at Chelsea. Unless the rumours of Lampard's move to Spain have some substance.

[Coldberg]

Giggs is ****ing ****. How the **** he gets away with I do not know. I wouldn't mind if it was every now & again but it isn't. For the second half of the stadium he had been consistently poor & yet people only pick up on the odd good game he has (Roma home etc).

I thought Vidic was amazing against Drogba & Rooney ran & ran. Scholes can only play so many defence splitting passes & you would have thought we could have converted one of them.

For some reason I am not even remotely gutted. Maybe it's cos it was such a **** game.

Glad I didn't go all that way & pay all that money now

Premiership - Manchester United eye Ustari

Premiership - Young Argentina keeper Oscar Ustari is not joining Villarreal and is interesting Manchester United, according to his club Independiente.

FOOTBALL Ustari - 0

The 21-year-old shot-stopper - who was an unused squad member at the 2006 World Cup - had been reported to have signed a contract with Villarreal in a 6 million euro deal.

But no such transfer has taken place, according to Independiente's president, and if there is any chance of him leaving the club it would only be for a giant such as United.

"I have heard in the radio what has been said about that Manchester United is interested in our goalkeeper but I haven't received any offer yet," Julio Comparada said. "Maybe someone has got in touch with the player.

"We aren't trying to sell him because we aren't currently in a hurry financially. Anyway, if there is a proposal that is very interesting for the player and the club then we will analise it," he added.

Reports in Spain had claimed that Ustari had signed a deal with Villarreal, but Comparada denies that there has even been contact from the club. But they would be open to the right offer - from the right club.

"We know that there are many European teams interested in our keeper but until we don't receive an official offer we can't say anything," he continued. "And if there is an offer we will see if we will accept it and if the team interested wants to pay what we want for the player.

"I think that the only way that we would sell Ustari is if it's real that Manchester United wants him because I am sure that any player would like to play there.

"If it's for our benefit, we're not in any hurry, the club is okay and we are well within our budget for building our new stadium, so we don't need to sell a player in this moment."
