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

[BBB]

I just won the league with Chelsea on FM.

Now to beat United in the CL Semis

[Mika]

Draw Draw Draw Draw Draw Draw Draw Draw Draw

If I say it enough hopefully it'll come true.

[Mika]

Lets face it, we were jammy against Chelsea last season.

[Saha]

in a feat of similar hardship, i won a 100m sprint race against five severed heads.

aye that midfield didn't own Chelsea's iirc?

[Mika]

We didn't totally own them at all, we were better in the first half yeah, desrved to be leading at half time, but in the second half they had us penned in the entire time. Smith was brilliant and all but we hardly walked all over them.

1. 6 points against Liverpoo & Man Shitteh

2. Ronaldo to man up and be consistent

3. John O'Shea & Ryan Giggs to make 0 appearances in midfield

4. Better ECL performance and EPL performances against crap opposition

5. Fergie to announce retirement at end of season </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Ah Richard :*)

[Mika]

Well he's got one and a half of those.

[Confused Clarity]

We played well against them last season, they also did well during the match.

However, that was last season. Both sides have changed since then and so trying to apply what happened last year to what will happen this year seems pointless to me.

I think that Chelsea have a good side that will cause us more problems than most teams. However, i do feel that we can be strong enough to cope with what they throw at us.

I also feel that we have a strong enough attack to cause problems for Chelsea, enough that i believe we can get a good result from the game.

[ACou2000]

I reckon both sides will score.

No idea what the hell the result is gonna be though.

[ACou2000]

but yeah lets not settle for a draw.. it's never a good way to play

[Mika]

Chelsea to win 1-0, Ballack to score.

[Coldberg]

I cannot see us losing.

Rooney or Ronaldo will pull something out of their arse for us & hopefully Joe Cole will throw another tantrum o nthe pitch

Vidic to do the easy chant in his face (although I hate it) would be topping on the cake at full time

[Mika]

Surely Ashley Cole will be more likely

[ericcantona7]

if we play like we have been doing, i.e aggresively, I can't see the Chelsea defence holding out. However if we play with too much caution and let Chelsea settle then winning will be much harder.

hmm I dont know. whilst on the face of it, a draw is a good result.. maintaining out 3 pt lead etc.

We do have a lot of difficult games to come.. and we should be aiming to increase our lead over them at every opportunity.. the best opportunity is beating them ourselves.

[Weststandred]

I think:

Celtic 0-0 Man Utd.

Man Utd 1-0 Chelsea - Carrick scores a scrappy goal to win the game.

The guy may be a despicable little knobjockey but he's an absolutely brilliant footballer.

It's great news for Wales too that one of our best players will be playing regular champions league football

So, while i hate you lot, i hope Bellamy is sensational for you </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

That backfired.

Oooh you devil.

[James07?]

hmmm, don't think we've got the squad to combine a Premiership challenge with a run to the latter stages of the CL.

choices, choices.

[Confused Clarity]

Mart you really are a pathetic little prat arent you.

So what if i care more about the good of the game in Wales than United. It doesnt mean my love for the club isnt strong. Just that i'll put my desire to see my country doing well ahead of footballing rivalries.

[James07?]

one love

[Mika]

It's a tough one yeah, to be honest as much as I'd love us to win the league, giving it a proper go in Europe for the first time since 01/02 is rather appealing.

[BBB]

haha calm down sheep boy, I was browsing the first few pages to see if there was any retardness there.

Look you want Bellamy to do well, which means you want the vermin to do well, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

[Mika]

Just hating international football and England is the way to go

[ACou2000]

nah

right now Premiership would be my priority. easily.

[Confused Clarity]

haha, wow, calling me sheep boy. So original.

[Mika]

I just miss our epic CL nights

[BBB]

Premiership for me too

[Mika]

James would clearly want the CL as there is more chance of Fergie quitting if we won that.

[BBB]

or dying of a heart attack

Nah, the shock of beating Chelsea might lead to a more permanent solution.

[Weststandred]

Premiership for me too. But my dream before I die would be to sing "We've won it 6 times, in Liverpool, we won it 6 times" at Anfield. (Liverpool will still only have 5 wins ofc).

I was going to type that and resisted, but now you come to mention it

[Mika]

Did you catch the thread roundup for August a few pages ago btw James, something for if you're bored later.

[James07?]

getting to 19 before liverpool winning it again would make me sooooooooooo wet.

yeah so i was happy to see the back of ronaldo before, now ill drive the **** to madrid.

hopefully this means the rumours are true and he is leaving as theres no excuse for acting like that when a club mate is involved. the wink at the end just tops off the type of player he is, slimey, overarrogant, underdelivering twat.

and yeah, hargreaves was immense tbf. problem is thats no doubt added a good few million to the asking price. should have a few quid from madrid coming in soon tho \o/ </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I cannot be bothered reading the 3 pages that occured since I went out.

From what I can gather Rooney was sent off for pushing Ronaldo which was harsh but Rooney should know you cannot raise your hands.

The referee gave a freekick for the foul & then as soon as Ronaldo came over & Rooney puished him thats when he gave the red.

The only thing Ronaldo did wrong was coming over to complain. What he did was wrong but what Rooney did was just silly.

So really it was Rooney's fault.

I am drunk so apologise for any errors in my post </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

There are only a couple of mad posts in there

[ACou2000]

No Ronaldo hate from me

cr > *

[James07?]

cheers, hadn't seen the round-up

[Mika]

He screwed England, knight him I say.

Only problem is he didn't actually do anything wrong, unlucky Cristiano

[Mika]

Don't know how you missed it. All 8,000 words of it

[BBB]

Any news on that thing we talked about yesterday James?

[James07?]

nah, not at the moment. Probably wont be until the weekend.
