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

That just doesn't make any sense (for either us or City), I mean we've just signed Henke for 10/12 weeks so he's not exactly going to get much action. And giving up Champions League football for the Council Housers is crazy. And its not exactly if he was any good in the Premiership in the first place.

hmm look at number 14

[ericcantona7]

I think he'd be a decent signing for City tbf, but if he's playing first team football I can't see why he'd go there. Maybe he just knows Manchester has the best shopping in the world, he's not exactly come over for the weather.

Uniteds website SO crap.

[Weststandred]

Genuine question: Can anyone think of headed goals by Rooney for United?

I was just thinking about it and can't recall him scoring any with his head. Can anyone tell me any, there is probably loads but I can't think atm.

Tomorrow will be my 4th visit to Villa Park.

[ericcantona7]

I'm pretty sure he has, I'm sure someone else will tell you who they were against though.

Rooney has never scored with his head for united and not sure if he did when he was at Everton.

[gonch19]

[BBB]

him and his family were absolutely LADEN down with shopping bags, gold ones so i presume he'd been in selfridges/harvey nics etc. did a proper double take when i walked past him. wanted to shout something derogatory but then considered that he'd been utter gash for the scousers and decided congratulations and thanks would be more appropriate.

you will not be drinking wkd ffs

not entirely sure we need to be there for midday. we'll have been drinking for two hours already on the rattler, a further three hours in the boozer will kill you

[BBB]

roughly translated

"I'm a lazy ****** and won't be awake for the early train"

[Nick OGS20]

see, the gf thinks i'm going straight home to my parents house on the train, and trying to convince her that i genuinely want to get on the train home at 9am for no real reason i really quite difficult

[BBB]

you want to see the parents and then join your mates at the pub

[Nick OGS20]

i've said i want to be home in time to get to the pub for our game. i'd be surprised if she believes that considering she knows full well none of the pubs in my town have dodgy sky

[BBB]

Man up ffs.

I think he's only got one headed goal in his career, for England at Euro 2004 against Switzerland.

no wonder he did a cartwheel

From what I've seen of him he's not actually that bad with his head is he? Just he's never the type to get on the end of crosses in an advanced position.

[Nick OGS20]

he's missed a few headed sitters in his time with us, but yeah, he rarely gets in the position to get headers in anyway

[BBB]

ALEX FERGUSON will go into the New Year with a £50million transfer kitty burning a hole in his pocket.

Manchester United’s owner Malcolm Glazer and his sons Joel, Bryan and Avi set aside the cash in their latest business plans for the Old Trafford giants.

YAS \o/\o/\o/

[Nick OGS20]

YAAAAAAAAAAAS

Ronaldinho please

[pjburrage]

Miroslav Klose and Owen Hargreaves please.

More likely 3 Overpriced Left Backs.

[BBB]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">With Chelsea hot on their heels, however, victory away to Aston Villa today would appear crucial to United’s hopes of maintaining the momentum they have built up as they enter the hectic festive period. It must be achieved without Michael Carrick, the England midfield player, who could be out for up to a month with an ankle ligament injury. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

fan****ingtastic

[pjburrage]

Can these sports stars stop copying my injuries please. I do my Ankle in Antwerp, then a few days later Glenn McGrath does his ankle at Edgbaston. Now Michael Carrick does his ankle just days after I screw my ankle up again.

[Mika]

No worries, Fletch will save the day

[Nick OGS20]

gah, and so it begins

mon the fletch

[ACou2000]

oh sh*t

yeah come on Fletch now I guess :/

SAY NO TO GAY IRISHMEN

[ACou2000]

a fitting pagetopper I feel

[Mika]

If he either plays O'Shea or sticks Giggs in the middle with Park on the wing I'll cry.

Though Park is but that's irrelevant.

[ACou2000]

I can't wait for Park to be back to full fitness

so good

[Mika]

Park basically the new Ruud

[ACou2000]

Yeah why not

Just seen the away Villa game from last year... Fletcher (in the centre), Park and Ruud were all fb.

[Mika]

Yeah

Basically if you're underrated by 07, you're loved by us

[ACou2000]

Except Kieran. There is not enough underrating power in the world to do that **** justice

Can't wait for that 50m spend-a-thon in January

[Mika]

Buy Ruud back imo.

[ACou2000]

I would

[Mika]

That's settled then

[ACou2000]

Ruud and Rooney had 25 goals between them by this time last year btw

[Mika]

Love how we've taken over this page

[Mika]

And they'd have had more had we played with a proper formation sooner :*(

[ACou2000]

making the most of it before BBB, James et al ruin the fun :*(

[Mika]

Yeah damn right, who cares about boring discussions of our masses of debt and the fact that we'll be in administration by Easter when we can have a Ruud love-in :*)

[ACou2000]

as if "formations" make a difference

the entire reason we were crap last year was because of Ruud slowing the side down with his ruthless finishing

[Mika]

How dare he eh?

The lack of commitment so obvious when he was showboating to score that volley away at Charlton

[Mika]

And the fact that he celebrated with the fans, our reduced allocations there basically all down to him too.

[ACou2000]

haha the EXACT video I just looked up on youtube

[Mika]

:*)

[Mika]

It wasn't Rooney that set him up either, blatantly Park with a mask on.
