wasn't it a minute's applause at west ham?

i know we had silences at the league cup game with WBA and the home premiership game with Pompey, i've got a vague recollection of Fergie saying in between the West Ham game and that Pompey game something about "the applause at West Ham was a magnificent spectacle but now this weekend it's time to pay our own personal tribute" or something

Jonah scores for Derby icon_cool.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Just thought I'd pop in and say that I went with a Derby supporting mate to Pride Park today & Nick would have been proud of his boy for his performance. Jonah ran the show for Derby in the first half and he's well above Championship class and took his goal Scholes-esq with the arriving late onto Lupoli's ball in. Pity he couldn't impose himself more like that in games against **** opposition when he played for us (for the few chances he got). Derby were collectively shambolic in the second tho so he didn't get on the ball as much and were lucky that Palace were completely ***** in the first and toothless in the second, but still the best player on the park along with Lupoli as far as quality went. Derby actually played some really nice stuff in the first 45mins, no wonder most of my mates are giddy at the minute.

On other topics I'm actually glad we've got so many loanees coming back (Antwerp must be ****ed though!) and I'll have another look at that tomorrow and see what I think & Vida's interview = icon_cool.gif especially when correcting her on what he said! And Jose may as well give up now - Vida wants the Prem and the Champions League, and Vida gets what Vida wants! Btw I hope that Vidic chant to "Monster" catches on.

i am incredibly proud. i'm still certain he'll be the one that slipped through the net. the way Derby are going he could be coming back to haunt us sooner than anyone could have thought.

re: Antwerp - i can see us sending another couple of players over there to replace the ones coming back. Michael Barnes would be a prime candidate, maybe Kieran Lee as well.

Saha calls for support

Manchester United striker Louis Saha has called for a section of the club's supporters to back him rather than pine for the departed Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Despite having proved his quality this season in impressing alongside Wayne Rooney, Saha feels that several of the United faithful still make unfavourable comparisons with his former team-mate.

The French international, who currently tops the club's scoring charts, believes he has adequately filled the somewhat daunting void left by van Nistelrooy's switch to Real Madrid in the summer.

Having scored 12 goals already this season, Saha is in line to top his best ever tally for a campaign and with this in mind, he has called for total support from the Old Trafford crowd.

"It is not good for me that if I have a bad spell or make a mistake there are sections of the crowd who let me know about it," Saha told the News of the World.

"If I have a bad 20 minutes they start singing Ruud's name and of course it doesn't make me feel good.

"Ruud is a legend at United and taking his place wasn't easy - it still isn't.

"It was a big step-up coming to United but I have done my best and I happy with my contribution to the team.

"At United the pressure is always there. You're not playing for a mid-table place. Of course it makes you raise your game.

"You must perform to keep your place. That is what I am trying to do and hopefully I am doing okay."

Maybe if people remembered Ruud as the player of last season rather than how he was before they would as well. At this stage last season, Ruud had 13 goals (one from a champions league qualifier), and Saha has 12. And we all know the other qualities that Saha brings to the team apart from goals.

Ruud at his best was irreplaceable, but that isn't the player we sold last summer.

So what if we do anyway, we chant about cantona ffs is he threatened by him? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah, but Saha isn't viewed as the direct replacement for Cantona, is he?

P!ss poor isnt the word. You just knew we were dropping points when Chelsea won from the position they were in.

Look at JM earlier, they were losing so he takes off defenders to bring on attackers, us? We take off Carrick and bring on a centre half.

Even if Carrick is injured why are we bringing on a centre half and one that just ****ing awful?

We have to stop this walking, strolling crap that leaves us problems and no way of injecting pace into our game when needed.

Who you calling a twat?

My point was that it's usually after he misses a 1 v 1 when Ruud chants have started this season. It's ineveitable giving the **** elements of any crowd.

What annoyed me about that substitution was that we have Park on the bench & as he was brought on he was obviously fit enough. He also has pace & so bringing on that fat waste of space was pointless.
