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

Mika · February 27, 2007

I don't think that is what would have happened, for the reasons I outlined in the other thread last night which I can't be bothered to c/p in here now.

I'm only even mentioning Ruud in here to get revenge on Mark for wasting my night yesterday by creating the other thread

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Friday deadline for UEFA decision

United will discover on Friday if Lille's appeal against UEFA's decision to uphold Ryan Giggs' goal in last Tuesday's Champions League tie will stand.

The French side questioned the validity of the winger's quickly-taken free kick at the Felix Bollaert Stadium, only for the Control and Disciplinary Body to rule that the goal was perfectly legitimate.

However, Lille have contested the decision, which is now passed over to UEFA's Appeals Body, with Club President Michel Seydoux telling Reuters: "Those who have watched the match know why we are appealing the decision.

"This case must be examined thoroughly and UEFA have to do it. It must be known that the referee influenced the outcome of this game. We had to appeal for moral reasons."

Seydoux insists that his club will continue to protest against what they term a 'technical error' by Dutch referee Eric Braamhaar.

"It is necessary to go all the way in this case and we will go all the way," he said. "Our cause is not the cause of Lille against another club or against UEFA.

"It is a battle by Lille for all the other clubs, to make sure this never happens again."

Giggs' strike was the only goal of the first leg, giving a United a 1-0 aggregate lead ahead of the return fixture on 7 March. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

yeah, because we've spent as much time talking about any other player?

Seriously, for our own sanity we should just stop talking about Ruud.

BBB · February 27, 2007

Just to stir the embers a bit more.

Don't hear any ruud songs any more, even Nicky Butt gets sang about.

United midfielder Sam Hewson has been selected for England's Under 19 squad to face Turkey in a friendly on March 21.

The 18-year-old, who has been in scintillating form for United's Academy side this season, made his international bow against Poland at the start of February.

England Head Coach Brian Eastick was suitably impressed with Hewson's efforts in the 4-1 win, as he has retained his place in the 18-man squad to face the Turks at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium.

The game will be England's final preparatory game before European Championship qualifying duty in May. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Assists and at-fault-for's up for debate ofc. Suggestions for further stats welcome.

updated to include stats from Lille and Fulham. given the affg to Nemanja for saturday, if there's general disagreement to that it can be changed.

so, goals for giggs x2, ronaldo

assists for saha, rooney and silvestre (debatable, but why not)

bookings for vidic, evra, ferdinand and scholes

affg for vidic

and the other stuff

Nick, don't suppose you have any idea what kind of team united will be sending to the Hong Kong 7s tournament at the end of may? Players like Rossi, Jones, Pique and Spector have played here in recent seasons IIRC, and I'd love to know more about the players I'm going to be facing

Young Jimlad · February 27, 2007

FFS this page is going to be annoying as hell with those two posts. I know I go on a bit at times but at least there is, in general, a point.

I blame Ruud. Hurry up page 391...

It's not hard to pres the "End" key on the keyboard tbf

I'm afraid I have issues with that. It effects my standard surfing technique.

ie the fingerless one...

Young Jimlad · February 27, 2007

Well to a large extent.

Being blessed with only pointer and thumb-pinky, they have enough to do already with the latter being my mouse hand and the former being the wrong side of the keyboard to hit the end key...

alilaw · February 27, 2007

But I bet you can still craft some wicked cool scrub shorts...

Young Jimlad · February 27, 2007

Tis true, I am a surprisingly deft tailor...
