McMaster#28 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Wiki, the fountain of all knowledge says that Lippi is now confirmed to take over SAF at the end of the 2007/08 season.

gonch19 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 if fergie announces his retirement at 4pm with immediate effect, citing he no longer can work with the glazers, how many of you would be happy? bbb james07 pretty sure they would.. anyone else?

SLO_Fila Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 MotM: Ronaldo Runner-up: Carrick Because apart from that and Neville all of them had crazy moments. Rooney and Giggs were full of dreadful passing all around, Scholes had 5-10min of insanity at the beginning of 2nd half, Vidic had a few lapses of concentration (including for goal), Heinze as well, Rio was better than Vidic and VDS had great saves but seemed a bit off as well.

SLO_Fila Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 And i don't agree with Keyser asking for Heinze to be subbed. He was good throughout the game and he wasn't at fault for the goal. He didn't pressured his opponent too much at the goal but the move started with Vidic having a lapse of concentration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACou2000 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Yeah I dunno. It would seem weird to be tactical, but its never stopped Fergie before. Maybe thinks Giggs should be tracking back to do the left back role with Heinze more central for the aerial ability :/ But really I just think he has a tendency to come in towards the ball leaving a winger in space Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMaster#28 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 "At a press conference staged at Old Trafford in Manchester on Saturday afternoon, just after the local derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, plans to play a celebration match at the stadium were unveiled. The event will mark two jubilees – and a marriage of two proposals which arrived at UEFA’s headquarters in Switzerland. The European Union tabled the idea of a match to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome which, on 25 March 1957, formally laid the foundations for a united Europe. Manchester United then expressed a wish to commemorate the club’s 50 years of involvement in European competitions, notably the Champion Clubs’ Cup, known nowadays as the UEFA Champions League. United were the first English team to enter the competition and the story which was begun by Sir Matt Busby’s ‘Busby Babes’ in the 1956/57 season has run in parallel with the lifespan of the European Union. The club’s 50 years in Europe have coincided with the 50 years of the united Europe. As a result, Old Trafford will be the setting for a match between Manchester United FC and a Europe XI featuring star players from UEFA’s member associations who have made contributions to the success of the UEFA Champions League. Any proceeds from the match will be used for charitable purposes under the umbrella of the Manchester United Foundation, with the emphasis on projects of lasting benefit for the future.

McMaster#28 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 oh and why was Lippi at OT:? "Marcello Lippi, world champion as the head coach of Italy last summer, has agreed to take the helm of the UEFA Select XI. “I accepted the invitation immediately,†he comments. “I’m delighted by the prospect of such a game and I am already looking forward to taking on my great friend Sir Alex Ferguson.†The Italian coach will select the European squad and will have UEFA’s Technical Director, Andy Roxburgh, as his assistant. The jubilee match will be played on Tuesday 13 March, kicking-off at 21.00 CET (20.00 local time). “I think this is an excellent way of combining two celebrations and commemorating the 50th birthday of the European Union,†comments UEFA’s Chief Executive, Lars-Christer Olsson. “It seems very appropriate to mark a political landmark with a sporting event like this, especially bearing in mind that Manchester United FC are one of the clubs who have made such a rich contribution to a football competition that, I think it’s fair to say, has also helped to bring the peoples of Europe closer together.†Manchester United Chief Executive, David Gill, added: “This is the first major protect for the Manchester United Foundation. European nights at Old Trafford create a special buzz. Fans and players can feel the excitement these games generate. Manchester United is proud of the fact that it was the first English club to enter European competition and it is a privilege to be able to host such a special game. "I’m sure the night will bring back many special memories of glorious nights of our past. Our thanks go to UEFA, the EU and the clubs and players that will take part in the event. We hope to raise a lot of money to benefit Europe’s young people from Old Trafford to Belgrade.†" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

14AlanSmithifb Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 9 points clear, lets see how you balls this up Fergie? Started well and Rooney finished his goal well and In my opinion the ball took a slight deflection off a City defender (basically online with where I sit). Thought Gabby & Rooney did really well for the second goal and Saha did well to get on the end of it. Why oh Why did Ferguson bring Saha off for O'shea? sure saha has one of those days but going so defensivley so early was just asking for trouble and you could see them scoring a good 5 minutes before they did. Did well to get back infront after that and Ronaldo was well posistioned for his goal and a deserved goal for him. Thought Saha & Giggs were awful , they just couldnt pass the ball at all today. Rooney did very well in first 45 and faded when Saha got brought off. Scholes and Carrick played well even though the sat far to deep leading up to their spell of pressure. As usual the back four made very few mistakes and thought Vidic & Heinze were brilliant. MoM: Michael Carrick - Did his job very well today, broke up play well and played some nice passes. 2nd: Heinze - Best he has played since his injury, dealt with everything City threw at him and sometimes had to do twice the work because Giggs kept wandering into the centre. Gotta say the best chant of the season so far goes to City fans for their John O'shea song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
