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

[Mika]

The numbers 3+0+7 = 10 = Ruud.

It was a sign.

[Mika]

On another random point, where has the word "natch" come from, it's utterly rubbish.

[Saha]

yeah natch can foabih

if i heard someone say natch irl i'd probably hit them

[Mika]

I don't actually know what it means either actually.

[Saha]

disappointingly bad slang for 'naturally', I think.

[BBB]

such geeks.

Morning lads

[BBB]

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to see United win away

HEY

[Mika]

Like last week?

Ahh, horrendous.

[James M]

**** off fergie /o\ rooney dropped, giggs and saha up front

[RedBlood]

Rooney on the bench

[Mika]

VdS

Neville

Ferdinand

Vidic

Henzie

Ronaldo

Fletcher

Scholes

Park

Giggs

Saha

[Mika]

And yeah I copied/pasted that, Henzie ffs.

[Taz & The Devil]

So i take it there could be some truth to the Carrick out injured for a month stuff in todays papers?

Anyway as long as its 4-4-2 i'm happy with the team. Please be Ronnie up front though and not Giggs because as much as Fergie wants to believe it Giggs is abysmal up top.

[James M]

why would you be happy with that? either way we are playing a winger up top, leaving one of the best forwards in the world on the bench.

[Mika]

Apparently they're saying Evra and not Heinze now.

Can't find the bench either.

[Mika]

I'm quite happy with it too, I don't actually mind Giggs up top at all, and Rooney was always going to be rested at some point. And bluntly, as I'm going on Tuesday, this will probably mean that he'll play then

[James M]

He can be rested in 8 days when we get Larsson ffs

[Mika]

Larsson can't play on Jan 1st, paperwork etc.

I assume he'll rest Scholes/Giggs against Wigan at least.

[Taz & The Devil]

I'm quite happy for Rooney to be rested now then have him give another half arsed performance.

[Mika]

Was he that bad last week, I saw nothing of it.

[Mika]

Bench anyone?

the odds of him putting in two **** poor performances in a row are so slight.

and what about giggs? he was crap last week too, and i know i'd rather an off-colour rooney up front then an off-colour giggs

I presumed all the paperwork and the like is sorted, is it confirmed that he can't play?

[Mika]

Both Giggs and Rooney will need to be rested at some point, as will most in the XI, may as well be today.

[Wilbie]

Why isn't OGS on the bench, 3 defenders ffs.

[Mika]

That would be good also

[Mika]

Can never have enough left backs.

[Mika]

Giggs up top then.

[Mika]

We nearly conceded there apparently, header against the post and then a shot saved off the back of VDS' leg :/

[Mika]

Anyone watching?

[Rb]

VDS thought it was going wide and it rattled against the post. He quickly jumped on it though.

[alilaw]

We won't win this lads. Our shape is all wrong, and we're creating little up front.

[Mika]

[Mika]

Basically we need O'Shea in midfield.

[Gazz22]

Please no.

[alilaw]

Heh, no, basically we need another striker on the pitch instead of Ronaldo down the left, park down the right and Giggs floating.

Or we need Ronnie up top with Giggs left and Park right.

[Mika]

O'Shea up top clearly the answer, as Almunia would agree

[RedBlood]

He plays on the left...

[alilaw]

Cristiano Ronaldo basically unplayable at times. Honest to god, and with no hyperbole, he could be the best player in the world very, very soon.

Great forward run by fletch let down by poor finishing.

[alilaw]

Saha SO very isolated. Scholes is playing really deep and Park, Giggs and Ronnie are staying wide or arriving late. Severely frustrating.

[Mika]

Great.

[alilaw]

Well I thought you'd like to know. It's the sort of thing you like to hear

[Taz & The Devil]

I've been watching a very stop start stream at best but from what i saw it seems its another game where our only threat is Ronaldo.

I dont know why but whats happened to the starts where we went all out at 100mph for the first 20 mins and blew teams away? Now we just stroll about, do **** all and get **** all for it.

[Terry Cheung]

Pretty uninspiring match, with Villa's work rate more than enough to keep United at bay.

Almost no cohesion and the system isn't working. Ronaldo the only threat but he doesn't really look like he's going to score. Need Rooney on in the second half, probably for Park who's done nothing. Fletcher has played some sublime passes but has also given it away unnecessarily. Not as steady as Carrick.

Evra's distribution also terrible and Gary Nev has hardly got forward.

[Wilbie]

i'm watching this live - we are sh*te but can see us knicking it as Villa have no bottle.

[Mika]

Funny, we've been saying that since about 2004 :/
