well the problem he has now is his move to madrid seemed to rely on mir getting in which doesnt look likely. we may be left with a player who doesnt want to be at old trafford and a few lads that dont want him there either. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Surely they'd be takers for him, whether it was a Mir led Madrid or anyone else?

Is that your bitters or our bitters?

yeah but how many of them were in line for ypott? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

not really my point. but, by that rationale, the implication is that podolski went the entire tournament without diving or any other such carrying on. yeah right... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

no it isn't your point but it's perhaps the point of the guy making the decision? And pull the other one if Podolski was anywhere near as bad (and I mean 1/1000th as bad) as Cronnie

I'm sorry for swearing Franny

I'm going to be so gutted when Ruud leaves

Heh, just mentioned him on MSN, better than kuzsczak, and would provide competition next season. I think it's a decent option if fergie so feels we need a keeper

[Scatter]

get VLC player it works in that.

Smith will not be back before October at the very earliest.

eh what </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

sorry thats another stort - Scholes determined to go hard for the title this season - thinks it's more important than doing well in Europe - He's sick of seeing Chelsea win the title and wants it back where it belongs.

Apologies.

[Moreclaw]

Whatever it is, this match is rubbish

Why have you even bothered going all the way to South Africa? It's not exactly a huge untapped market.

I always thought he was? Ive only seen him place a few games for Villareal but he seems like a big man in the middle and he also has an awesome set piece iirc. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

hes not the tough tackling midfielder i know some would like but he will get stuck in. ive always been more impressed with his passing than his tackling so this signing would kind of make me wonder what the point of carrick was

fergie thought he would be good but he turned out to be crap

its the general 50/50 rule that applies to his transfers

[gonch19]

2pm i think.

i reckon this thread should be renamed: the manchester united thread 2006/2007 - 100 pages and we've done is sign carrick.

[BBB]

I was intoxicated tbf

[Saha]

Bolton and Tottenham look to have some bargains amongst their ranks tbh

[Keyser]

What game did BBB leave early from?

[Nick OGS20]

Spot on then

[elmonzo]

Yeah be a man, Jimbo!

[Mika]

Ole is on the left wing?

I love that Newcastle fans hate us

In their programme from last season they asked some mongy fan

"Man U of course" </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

My point proven.

[Mika]

Typical

[Coldberg]

I came out of Tiger Tiger in town the other night & a good looking girl came & sat next to me on some chairs that were outside. Then she opened her mouth & this horrendous scouse accent sounded out

Being drunk I said "oh god, you're a scouser" /o\

Luckily I didn't get beaten up by the two guys she was with

[James07?]

yeah, they said at 1st they'd send tickets out to people and then changed their mind and said there would be a pick-up in Lisbon.

[Mika]

As good an excuse as any to up the thread

[pjburrage]

Infact the phone call I had from my mate at HT in that game went as follows:

me: haha you're s**t

mate: yeah we are, that Ian Pearce is a right c**t. always scoring own goals.

Richardson to start /o\

[Razor Eddie]

Not overconfident in the slightest. *cough*

I just don't think Celtic are that good, is all (Never have - apart from in the late 60's). A draw for us at the very worst.

I'll settle for a draw on Sunday, too. But again, I don't see us losing then, either.

When's the last one you developed? Scholes/Giggs/Becks are all 10-15 years ago.

Maybe John O'Shea?

Why can't he do both?

Ronaldo Carrick Hargreaves and Bale then. Must say I'm starting to understand more why you hate the Glazer's owning you...Fergie doing incredibly well at the moment given how much he's spent.

I have to admit I don't have the self-confidence to be standing up and chanting if nobody else is, it's not me. If some people are though I tend to join in, and generally loosen up during the match, always louder in the second half. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

You're basically me ffs </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Same sitch here. Try to join in as much as possible when it sparks up around me but once it fades no-one can keep it going by themselves.

Back from the game & slowly getting the feeling back in my arms & legs.

Rooney's second goal was simply awesome. Middle name doesn't happen to be Eric does it?

btw lads, who are your 2 players of the season so far? i saw a poll of united fans on this recently, scholes and ronaldo were tied.

for me:

1) Paul Scholes - (sometimes overshadowed by more prominent team members in the past maybe because of the very quiet way he goes about things, but for me it has been impossible to ignore just how good the lad is, this season more than any. would be thrilled if he won player of the year, not sure he would though)

2) Cristiano Ronaldo - pretty self explanatory, the year he came of age as a consistent and genuine threat. hard to separate the two really but scholes edges it for me.

Most Improved so far:

1) Cristiano Ronaldo

2) Patrice Evra </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Blimey, we agree on something

[ACou2000]

the laugh at the end

[Coldberg]

Yeah what exactly does Ferguson see in Kooshack? Looked like he lost the ball 3 or 4 times in the game tonight.

Erm Carrick was decent as was Park. Ronaldo got booted a lot in the first half but looked a little off the pace. Sulked lots too

Saha I just don't understand. The guy is left footed. So why oh wh yafter skinning two defenders at the end did he not switch the angle to favour his left foot as he was running in? Instead he hits it with his right & it goes wide.

Oh & one final point. Seeing Ole with literally no pace at all makes me sad He was played in some point in the second half & after about 5 yards he stopped turned inside & passed it as the defender had already got back to defend. Was like watching Blanc trying to break into a sprint all over again

giggsy motm, carrick 2nd. fletch was brilliant, was watching it with some pals and their family tonight, SLATED fletcher before the game. won over by him.

tactics PERFECT tonight fergus, so glad smithy was given the role.

well in lads. now the semi

[ericcantona7]

what would be the point in signing Owen when we've already got Saha to keep the physios busy, senseless signing, he's not world class, and I don't see the point in signing someone who's past their best and injury prone, who will be on high wages, and cost quite a bit.

Drunk on what exactly?

[James07?]

Surely there's a case for dosing a buffoon like Rio full of pain killers and such like, shoving him out and sod the long term damage?

[Nick OGS20]

heh, you get that in the clubhouse at Hyde United before reserve games (and at half-time). bit like going to a supermarket that only sells drink.

you mean if someone offers one on RI or the like?

yeah i was another one who was stupidly giddy about veron. doubt that will ever be topped. rooney came close, this news even more so.
