Park is a great dribbler, sadly the rest of his game needs improving.

He doesnt deserve to be hated though and his fall from grace has been swift. It wasnt so long ago he was a favourite in here.

And on an unrelated note can i add that Evra is fb.

Fergie: Spurs in pole for Bale

Sir Alex Ferguson feels Tottenham Hotspur are in 'pole position' to land Southampton starlet Gareth Bale.

Manchester United and Spurs have been battling it out to sign the teenage full-back before the close of the transfer window.

Reports have claimed that Spurs have offered £10million for the Wales international, while United's bid is more incentive-based.

Ferguson confirmed his interest in bringing Bale to Old Trafford, but acknowledged his club are not currently heading the pursuit.

"Southampton said no to us because they are looking for more money, which they have every right to do," said Ferguson.

"The bid we made for Gareth reflected his potential. There were a series of build-ups in it because we have to protect our own club's assets too.

"We offered an initial fee with add-ons depending on how many games he plays, international caps and so on.

"I am not exactly sure what Tottenham have offered more, but they have offered more and that has put them in pole position at the moment."

The Red Devils chief also feels that suggestions Bale could plump for Spurs for regular first-team football do not hold water.

He added: "Anyone who guarantees a player first-team football every week is wrong.

"There are so many examples of young players being given a chance at this club, no one could dispute the fact they will get opportunities. Maybe the boy himself would need to assess that."

I don't think he has had a fall from grace, attitudes to him have been pretty consistent from what I can see. You're the one doing most of the hating ffs.

[JulesMUFC]

what are you talking about taz? he was as good today as he has ever been really as far as im aware, he looked a pretty similar to last season. his work rate is unreal, sure his final ball was hit and miss at best but hasnt it always been?

[Nick OGS20]

Park was fine today. vastly superior to Giggs who seems to have got off scot-free for a pretty dire performance

[Mika]

Go to Spurs please Bale, blowing our money on a leftback is nonsensical.

James and Keyser worse than me by a mile. Getting ****ed off during a match because his poor passing or finishing is hardly hate.

My stance has always been that hes a good squad player but really needs to work on his end product.

[Mika]

Saying he is a useless player who deserves to have no legs is capable of being interpreted as hate imo, but I see your point re: James/Keyser.

[Nick OGS20]

just need Bale to tell Saints he wants to go to us and not Spurs and they'll soon accept our lower bid

That was in no way serious.

[Mika]

You only want him because he is Welsh

If I knew more about him than the fact that he can take free-kicks then I might be more enthusiastic I guess.

[Nick OGS20]

it's not just because he's welsh

he's a special special talent, we'll regret it if we don't get him. he's got the potential to be a left-sided Beckham i reckon, without the talentless skeletal whore for a wife

[BBB]

I can't say I've seen anything of Bale, aside from a few free kick videos but there's a fair few that want him, some of the lads on RI (decent users) rate him highly.

mon

[Mika]

Fair enough, I can't really comment as like I say I know nothing more than his ability to take free-kicks. What is actually special about him?

[BBB]

he's welsh

[Mika]

Thought so.

[JulesMUFC]

i'm with nick, he will be a great player, with the options of playing left back or left wing. although not sure id be happy paying such a huge sum of money with large amounts of add ons.

[Mika]

But why will he be a great player? I just want to know what his game is about, his strengths and what makes him worth that much.

[BBB]

left sided beckham?

that makes me moist.

attacking full-back, pretty quick, can take players on and/or deliver quality crosses. i've heard/seen Southampton fans describe him as their main creative force, not bad for a 17yo full-back.

[14AlanSmithifb]

Pretty good overall display and two Rooney goals, all in a days work. Thought Park, Rio and Evra were awesome throughout, Giggs was absolutley shocking , I can honestly only remember one thing he did well which was the pass for Rooney's first (Although his crossing from deadball situations was prety flawless), also thought Carrick & Ole had pretty poor displays and didnt look comfortable.

Rooney played so much better today it was unture, a couple of weeks ago he would have kept hold of the ball and thought too much abou it , but today after two confidence boosting goals had a quick look up and hit a glorious chip over James, utter brilliance.

I thought Larson was brilliant today and just oozes class and can remember several glorious touches which put other players in and should have led to goals.

MoM: Park

2nd: Rio

Honorable mentions: Evra, Vida & Larsson.

Aye. Giggs has been atrocious the past 3-4 games sadly and nobody really complains (except for the Arsenal game ).

Besides the first half run when his pass was behind Larsson and the pass to Rooney in the 2nd he was absolutely useless and the way i saw it he was our attacking bottleneck since most of our attacks were stopping at him due to bad/stupid passes.

[SLO_Fila]

And i was quite pleased when he was taken off for Fletcher to come in his place

as an apology for not showing today, I will be getting the beers for wednesday

Not Carling, young man.

I'll be in the Trafford again, otherwise.

Too feckin' cold for the wall today. Was sat down inside the ground at half past.

[BBB]

haha, carslberg export is 8 for a fiver at Iceland

[Razor Eddie]

And that's better, is it ?

Btw, Vida shoulda had that goal. Still, there's history with that goal line being a bit bendy, no ?

Henke not fuppin' offside, either.

Rooney, though.

[BBB]

you fecking get it then

[Robinhood]

Fuming, i had Vida first goal scorer and 3-1

[BBB]

awesome stuff, if we get a home draw in the next round £3 price increase and then a fiver for the quarters

[BBB]

meh I don't care

[Nick OGS20]

the two blokes behind me spent the entire first half on their phone trying to make themselves visible to someone watching at home on tv /O\

down with people from yorkshire

[Mika]

Unlucky Taz.

Oh

[Ryno]

It is just me who thought that Park wasn't that great today? I think that is was Lauren who he was up against for most of the game who made him look alright, but in all honesty I don't think he did anything special at all.

[Keyser]

Nah Park was utter crap. But, like Nick said not as bad as Giggs who was atrocious.

[JulesMUFC]

nice to see gill taking his holidays at times where he isnt really needed or of vital importance.

[Confused Clarity]

Whats wrong with him going?

They are not making any breakthrough with Bayern Munich, it's clear they won't sell him, he' the only player they wish to bring in during the window and arent able to do so.

[JulesMUFC]

so us making a bid for bale means he isnt a player we want to bring in?
