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

[ACou2000]

Kiraly is just a nonce. a time wasting nonce.

also, that "stretching" he was doing

[Fred_the_Red]

NEVER EVER sat behind the goal on all my times Ive been Old Trafford.

[BBB]

ahaha the stretching, forgot about that

[Nick OGS20]

haha yeah, kept doing the splits, much to the amusement of the stretty. he's got a weird ritual at the start of the game/second half as well, noticed it at Villa Park - exhibit a, exhibit b

i love my seat :*)

[Mika]

It's like the snooker, from the front row it's a poor view, but I like being close.

[ACou2000]

his balls would have disappeared up into his stomach forever

[ACou2000]

though he would have fumbled them first

I can't see no next/previous button

hmm, i'm guessing it only appears for me then (when logged in)

if you're that bothered you can go through changing the numbers in the url, but i like i say, there's not that much else there worth seeing

[ACou2000]

just seen the replay of Ronaldo's little dribble into the area, past 4 players and shot into the side netting.

so brilliant to watch :*)

[Fred_the_Red]

ok random question.

What happen that to that chat box that was here??

[Gazz22]

I thought our overall play was pretty good. Our link-up play was superb for the most part. I did feel we took the game for granted a bit (which we've done a few times this season). Trying flicks and fancy passes. Now this is fine at 2/3-0. I like to see them. But not at 0-0 or 1-0. If we got an early goal Larsson and co. could have had a field day.

Carrick played very well. Kept the ball really well. Evra was superb though. He was almost playing as an attacking midfielder for the last 20 or so minutes.

MotM: Paddy

Runner-up: Larsson

Patrice Evra was full of praise for United's veteran goalscorers after the Reds' dramatic FA Cup victory over Aston Villa.

Debutant Henrik Larsson opened the scoring before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer negated Milan Baros' equaliser with an injury time winner at Old Trafford.

That drama, Evra told MUTV, was typical of the FA Cup and indeed of supersub Solskjaer, with both possessing a penchant for late drama.

"This game today represents the FA Cup," he said. "You score in the last minute - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer always! - it was a good atmosphere and everything was beautiful.

"You always have a chance. Until the referee says the game is finished, you have a chance. With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer you always have a chance to score.

"Everybody is happy because it was a hard game, it was not an easy game. We played well, conceded one goal but 2-1 was a good result."

Although Evra gave an outstanding performance, he was rivalled by Larsson for the man of the match award - and the defender was full of praise for the Swedish striker.

"He's unbelievable," he said. "Everyone will tell you that Henrik Larsson first is a good man. He wants to work hard, to help the team with his experience and quality.

"You saw today he created problems, and I'm very happy to play with him. It's good for the rest of the season. He's very good. We have a lot of very good players here."

Although United are firmly in the hunt for the Premiership title and in the last 16 of the Champions League, Evra insists he considers the FA Cup an important target this term.

"I want to win this trophy," he said. "In France you have the Coup de France, which is the same as the FA Cup.

"I have won the Carling Cup, but I think the FA Cup is more important, more popular and every team in England plays in this competition. I hope to win this trophy, for me it's very important." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Paddy knows his stuff :*)

[Gooders86]

I've been seriously impressed with Paddy this season, gone our the days that i thought he was abit pointless

Is pretty much a shoe in that Gabby is going to leave at some point in the near future?

[Saha]

I think so, either he or Silvestre looks set to go and I'd imagine he'd be the more profitable

[Saha]

Oh and

MotM: Larsson

Runner-Up: Ronaldo

btw

[Terry Cheung]

I don't think that Gabby needs to go. He's still getting a lot of games even though Evra has been better than him this season.

[Scatter]

agree with terry.

fergie seems to have the rotation between the two pretty much right atm. silvestre definitely surplus, but we should keep gabby if possible.

[Terry Cheung]

The only thing is if Gabby wanted to leave. Remember he was undisputed first choice before his injury and he may not be happy with rotation.

[Taz & The Devil]

I cant see Fergie resting Rooney anytime soon. For some reason Wayne is a player Fergie has no problems with playing every game in a season but everyone else needs a rest.

I know goals arent everything but it is a bit of a worry that he has only found the net in 4 or the 27 or so games he has played this season.

2 vs Fulham (W 5-1)

3 vs Bolton (W 4-0)

2 vs Sheff Utd (W 2-1)

1 vs Man City (W 3-1)

And his overall play is as poor as its been since he joined us. Yes he runs and he gets stuck in but lately his passing has been way off and he seems to be having a spell where more often then not he picks the wrong option.

The kid just needs some time off and i dont see why Fergie cant see this. Saha has a good chance of being back for our next game so hopefully we rest him then.

[Taz & The Devil]

Does anyone know the status of Rossi? His loan was supposed to end of the 31st of December but since then i havent heard a thing about him. He doesnt even get included with the first team squad which is a bit strange considering he was in them all before his loan move.

[Terry Cheung]

One thing I really noticed yesterday is even Rooney's first touch, normally immaculate is deserting him sometimes. There were times when a poor touch allowed him to be dispossessed when he had enough time and space to control the ball and pass it to a team mate.

Would love to see Larsson in the Rooney role and Ole up front on Saturday. Rooney could always come off the bench if needed, like against Villa in the last league match.

I guess up to now he simply hasn't had anyone to replace him, hopefully now with Larsson/Ole/Rossi being available things will change.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Rossi can play his part

Sir Alex Ferguson believes the returning Giuseppe Rossi could play an important part in United's title bid over the coming months.

The 19-year-old striker has recently returned to Old Trafford having completed a four month loan spell at Newcastle.

There was speculation that Rossi could make a swift return to the North East to link up with former United skipper Roy Keane at Sunderland, but Sir Alex insists the Italian U21 international is staying put.

"I don't see why we should let anyone go who is going to be useful to us," declared the Reds' boss.

"The run-in could be full of all sorts of pitfalls. We want to be prepared for it and we want to be able to handle it all, so it is good to get Giuseppe back.

"He has great talent, which is why we let him go to Newcastle," added Sir Alex. "And even though he did not have a lot of games, he still comes back to us with a bit more experience and a bit of quality." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Was the last I heard a week ago I guess. Have any of the other loanees been in squads?

[Mika]

Returning loanees I mean ofc.

[Taz & The Devil]

Obsessed, says the Man who talks about Ruud every other post.

[Mika]

Touché

Real lost tonight

Ruud

Come back

[Mika]

It has been far too long :*)

The funny thing is that Ruud is probably just one of five players I've liked a considerable amount more than the others we have had, but he is the only one that has left so has hogged my the attention.

Damn the likes of Scholes for being so uncontroverisal.

[Mika]

*hogged all of my attention

(Shut it Ryan)

And I think I've already done my 'obsessed with a short new yorker' gag too

[Saha]

Ruud probably my favourite-est player ever btw, along with yorke and scholes

[Mika]

Giggs-Ole-Ruud-Scholes

My top four in terms of actual influence on the team, skill, and general awesomeness. Could give a convincing argument to justify any of them as being my favourite really.

Then there's the cult list with the likes of Silvestre and Berg who are favourites in a different way :*)

[Mika]

And I loved Yorke but his time at the top was to short compared to the others

[billy manutdfan]

I preffered COle over Yorke, dont know why

[Saha]

never liked cole

[Mika]

I never liked Cole either. Sorry Taz.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> BARDSLEY MUST WAIT FOR DEBUT

Manchester United defender Phil Bardsley will have to wait almost a fortnight to make his Aston Villa debut even if his anticipated loan move is completed in the next couple of days.

Bardsley, who spent the first half of the campaign on loan to Rangers, would not be able to face the Red Devils in next Saturday's Barclays Premiership encounter at Old Trafford.

His first appearance for Villa would probably be in the home Barclays Premiership match against strugglers Watford on January 20.

O'Neill, whose side were beaten 2-1 by United in the FA Cup third round on Sunday, said: "I spoke to Sir Alex Ferguson a few days ago about Bardsley, and he wouldn't mind at all.

"But like anything else, until things are signed I won't take it for granted.

"I hope he will join us this week - although obviously he can't play against Manchester United next weekend." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Mon him doing better than Spector did when he was loaned out.

[billy manutdfan]

Cole was fb

Missed a few but scored a few to

Cole n Yorke partnership \o/

[Mika]

The funny thing with Cole is that when I look back at season review videos I'm always surprised at the quality of his goals.

There's just something about him that I didn't really like, just didn't take to him.

[BBB]

RACIST

mon fulham tickets, I want to go back to sleep

[billy manutdfan]

How many pens was it Teddy missed in a row in 1st season with us?

[Saha]

i think it's the name cole. obv. good players but i don't really love any of them.

is bardsley in with much of a chance of making it any more? his rangers spell didn't sound fantastic.

[Mika]

Nick/Taz etc seem to think that Simpson is the future for DR, but then Nick thought that Jones would be the new Keane so who knows.
