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

[alilaw]

See, this thread's well boring without Ruud related mongery.

Let's have a sweepstake - who will finish as United's top goalscorer in all competitions at the end of the season, and how many goals will he have?

I'm backing King Louis to get 22, overtaking a clearly Barca-bound Ronaldo

[Philip Rolfe]

Richardson, 30

It's the ears, isn't it?

[gonch19]

haha i was waiting for that

[Blaine]

are you in the scissor sisters?

[alilaw]

'Chase me, chase me', as Rio the modern tolerant man would say.

[JulesMUFC]

Oh Ah Louis Saha 25 (come one louis).

[gonch19]

TO CLARIFY:

i do quite fancy rooney to end up as our top goalscorer this season, im hoping he could weigh in with some important goals in big games in particular.

i dont fancy his pudgey face, whatsoever. though if he scores winning goals at anfield, stamford bridge, the council house and in the champions league final i probably would bend over and take his length

[Weststandred]

Ronaldo 21

[Blaine]

[ACou2000]

Ronaldo 20

lol

[mark g]

Eric is just the coolest footballer

[Blaine]

i was youngish but from in my memory, that was probably the precursor for all modern day football adverts.

[mark g]

Certainly was. One of the best bit sis the look he gives Maldini when he says "maybe they're friendly"

[Nick OGS20]

au revoir

what a god

[ACou2000]

He was also in my favourite Nike/football ad of all time.

[ACou2000]

the laugh at the end

[ACou2000]

the skills in those afb

[Taz & The Devil]

Cantona is just so fb in all those nike adds.

Scholes and Ruud on a team with Vieira, no wonder they lost first.

[Mika]

If Louis Saha gets 25 goals then I'll post "WE WILL WIN THE LEAGUE" every day for a year.

[pjburrage]

Come on Louis!!!

Henry's hair

[Taz & The Devil]

Saha will never net 20+ goals playing second fiddle to Larsson.

Saha will score more than Rooney this season though.

Didnt play say in a recent interview that hated talking about himself and hated being talked about?

Scholes is just a legend in every way. In my eyes he is the best of the class of 92.

are you including giggs in that? because if not its pretty much a no brainer

[alilaw]

Gonch just spot on about EVERYTHING at the moment

rgifb. The sheer number of highs he's given us over such a long period of time is just unbelievable. And it's a testament to his ability that as he lost the raw pace that so charecterised him, he's adapted his game and still remained a potent attacking threat for us. Yes, we all know he can and has gone off the boil quite spectacularly, but there's very few United players, or players in the world, that I'd rather watch in full flight.

There's an amazing 10 minute compilation of him on youtube somewhere which I'll dig out when I get home.

His career according to the G man:

Promising, injured, rubbish, good, new contract, injured, very rubbish, injured, good, new contract, rubbish, chest wig, good, new contract, rubbish, OK, new contract, OK.
