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

[ACou2000]

As much as I do and always will love Ruud... if he's (as it seems) on his way.. Torres wouldn't be a half bad 'replacement'.

We could certainly do worse.. ie. Defoe

Jesper Blomquist was a bit sh*t really, a bit like ronaldo without the moments of utter genius (and the diving obviously) maybe without the injuries he might have got better, but I’m not so sure?

[McMaster#28]

Notice how the loan turning into a full move has made everyone forget to ask what the transfer fee is

And don't tell me the full transfer fee is just steele and McShane.

Was really tempted to get one of those 1 year season tickets this year to see how many games I could get to, but had to stick with a normal membership so just applying for tickets for every game!

hello dudes im back from london, what have i missed on here?

saturday so dreadful i dont quite feel able to talk about it except to say

motm:

1, Van der Sar

2, Vidic

and that i watched the game in the most unexpectedly welcome united shrine in some upstairs part of a pub in north london. was awesome, they even had a programme from the 1958 cup final against bolton, just sitting on a table by the bar. so tempted to take it, must be worth loads

oh yeh and a handwritten letter to a journalist from george best's dad written in 1951 i think. incredible.

Bookings are right. The only person i felt that could be in any way blamed for the goal today was, bizarrely, Scholes. I felt he shouldn't have jumped when charging down the free kick as it went under him, but it would be ridiculously harsh to call him at fault for the goal.

Even I don't think he should be sold

Something needs to happen though, he's having a mare this season.

First he hasn't played enough and he's not fit, now he needs a rest, without producing his best in the middle of it, despite his workrate it has to be a concern.

So the fact that people don't rate Ruud as highly as you do, or are annoyed at him for being a lying, decietful gobsh*te means that they're also happy with Saha?

[Blaine]

Yeah we have been a couple of times (last season Daisy Hill, this season Atherton LR). Decent ground and club house and reasonably easy to get to on the train. Like Dean says, it depends on how both clubs do this season in terms of relegation/promotion.

how can you buy one of the main railway routes out of manchester? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Sorry, I meant like, leasing it or something while the building work was going on or paying to have it relocated in a subway style like Scatter suggested (unless I've misread that as well). </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

you don't lease it either?

you're basically offering to upgrade the track at no cost to the owner in exchange for any slight modification like a downhill grade in order to build over it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I just meant in a take full responsibility for it in some way. Off the hands of whomever it is that controls that line in some sort of temporary agreement so we could redevelop that part of the ground.

Clearly railways are not something I know about, hence the random and apparently idiotic suggestions so I'll leave it at that.

But at least he hit one against Bolton.

And yep, for as good as Rooney is he isn't that great at 1 on 1's either. But at least he does score something like 1/3 unlike Saha who scores a magnificent -3/3

Not seen much. Just the odd clips on Sgorio a couple of times this season and a few on Eurogoals. He looked exciting in the clips i've seen. Mainly, like you am basing it on how Ronaldo raves about him.

[theis]

tbh the rise in tickets is a) only to be expected, b) still perfectly comparable to other football clubs and c) quite within their right considering attendances have been so strong.

£25 is still amoung the cheapest of all the big teams in the premiership and what a lot of championship fans have to pay. I doubt its just the glazers that would be charging this much with the attendances we've been getting. Almost all boards would do the same. Just look at Arsenal and they have fans on the board.

Making the automatic cup scheme compulsory is a **** decision however.
