United leading 1-0 :chew:

do they show it on pplive ?

i'm on skysports soccer saturday radio atm

silvestre :D

they just said the utd 18er took a freekick from the edge of the box and that it was poor... WTF why doesn't Rooney take them ?

Bardsley fouled the linesman ! :funny:

bardsley accidentally kick the linesman :D

I'm content though. We could have scored more and van der Sar made an excellent save towards half-time.

do they show it on pplive ?

i'm on skysports soccer saturday radio atmI'm watching it with pplive, click on this link (pplive://pp2.pplive.com:8000/tracker?source={6463822e-d30b-43e0-b25d-a9bb4da19f5b}&type=udp&chnname=%e5%b9%bf%e4%b8%9c%e4%bd%93%e8%82%b2&engname=Gdtv-sports&tracker=udpt://pp2.pplive.com:8000;udpt://pp1.pplive.com:8000;udpt://pp3.pplive.com:8000;tcpt://pp2.pplive.com:8000;)

quite a boring first half :chew:

Very active first half for us. Played pretty well actually. Rooney is a bit of colour, but even when he is playing off form, he still does better than like everybody on the field. Van Nistelrooy, made 2 succesful tackles in the middle of the pitch! :rockman: . Man, even Scholes doesn't lose the ball anymore, however he still doesn't do much with it. Bardsley kicking out the ref was funny, that's gonna hurt for the guy though, that spot is a bitch and it was a hard kick too. Silvestre with the 999th Man Utd EPL goal, wonder who will get the 1000th! Common devils!

smith vs davids :rockman:

1-1 Jenas.

1-1

Jenas Freekick.

1-1 jenas :|

did you guys see what the hell pires doing? :D:D:D:D:D

haha yeah. classic (H)

carrick free kick hit the crossbar :|

Rossi On!!!

bardsley off, rossi on. will rossi save us again?

Defoe's off, thats good.

I doubt it, Man Utd have sucked today.

Superb tackle by Smithy then.

Ronaldo, Rooney, Ruud, Rossi, Park and Scholes all on the pitch and we still suck at attacking :|

FT 1-1. Terrible result.

Anyone have a clip of Pires being an arse?

Anyone who watched the game would agree that we didn't deserve to win. The second half performance lacked ambition and we keep conceding silly free kicks that we were almost punished for.

Damn, when it comes to protecting the lead, were definitely one of the worst teams in EPL. If not the worst. Another 2 points lost and no light at the end of the tunnel yet :boohoo:

In the first half Man U played OK, what I don't understand is why they don't continue playing on the attack, all they did was sit at the back and let Spurs do all the attacking until it was to late.....

we suck at old trafford! get a freakin midfielder fergie!

man...i knew it we sat back after 1st goal no desire no hunger to get more all credit to spurs they played better than us and deserved it. Chelsea can have the title already. Another weekend ruined dammit

poor attacking football by us, midfield totally not organized. our defenders look solid today except o'shea. smithy play well in term of defending. fletcher and scholes can't help in attacking, park and rooney still the main threat and ruud was isolated. once again ferguson keep his "position" football until 70-80 minutes by sub ronaldo and rossi on which are helpless.

time to say bye bye to champion :ewan:

Yet another disapointing performance, the attack was blunt. The first goal itself was lucky because of Robinson's mistake.

The fans were singing the 12 days of Cantona (H)

That's the difference between Mourinho and Ferguson. One is never happy with the result, just like the other was never happy 8-10 years ago, but now the other just wants to get the result and when he ****s up, it's too late. Chelsea play like it's always 0-0, even after leading 3-0, they still play like it's 0-0, while we play like it's 1-0 at 0-0, like it's 3-0 at 1-0 and so on. Just sit back and hope nothing happens. It's was a beautiful Jenas freekick, but the performance showed ****, we sucked. Making subs was too late, Tottenham has a good defense and if they want too, they can easily sit back and defend when they have confidence. Yet more points lost and game in 2 weeks, looks like will finish off the whole season for the top spot. I mean Wigan are third, goddammit!!!!! :nape: :nape: :nape:

What's worrying is our home form.... We are terible at O.T these days. keep dropping points. :kader:


Team no longer come here scared, they now believe they can get something from the game. We need signings, we need to improve our squad. :rolleyes:

I don't think we had a single shot on target in the second half. I'm looking forward to the kids playing though if Fergie allows it.

we need to improve our squad...
and the management

Wankers tell The Senile One to spend (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=366207&in_page_id=1779&ct=5)

Sir Alex Ferguson has been told by the Glazer family to spend whatever it takes to claw back ground on Premiership champions Chelsea.

As fears of a Roman Abramovich monopoly continue to consume the Premiership, it has emerged that United's millionaire owners are prepared to give Ferguson almost unlimited funding in a bid to rein the London club in.

Sportsmail understands that United co-chairman Joel Glazer, these days the most powerful man at Old Trafford, has issued direct instructions to Ferguson and chief executive David Gill that no player will be deemed too expensive.

Glazer has made it clear that a Premiership title this season is no longer a necessity and that the longterm success and prosperity of the club is of paramount importance. But he also made it clear that he is happy for a sustained period of heavy spending to begin when the January transfer window opens. The Glazer family stretched themselves to the limit when completing their £800million takeover of United last May and have still not revealed to supporters how they intend to drag the club back out of debt. But Old Trafford sources have revealed this week that the Americans have told Ferguson and Gill all along that there is no realistic limit on what will be available for new players.

A club source said: 'The message has been clear all along; if Sir Alex wants a player and Gill thinks it is right then the Glazers will find the money. 'There was money there to spend in the summer and there is money to spend now.The Glazers are very rich men. What's more, they trust Ferguson implicitly. If he feels he needs a player then it is very likely that he will get him.'

News that the Scot has been assured of financial backing all summer will surprise United fans, given that he bought only two players before the window closed at the end of August. They will also wonder why he did not compete more vigorously for new Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien. Winger Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to play today despite being quizzed this week over rape allegations.

Ferguson said:'He has trained fine and is OK. He'll be involved.'"

How is that for bull****? :D

oh look at that, Glazer's attempt to get the blame for as far away from them as possible and try to look like good guys in that situation. :kader:

If it is true that there is money for Fergie to spend but he refuse to do it, then it will be Fergie's problem. So far I haven't seen any harm from the Glazers. It was always Mr Senile and Queerarse.

But now i'm looking forward to the January transfer window... hopefully. :p

we sucked balls and breasts tday.
the silvestre goal was lucky first of all.
fletcher isa c*nt

infact fergie acts like one by making no subs untill we actually hav to win.

losing points at ot sucks to be honest thats 7 points lost at ot this season.
the 2-1,3-2 and 3-1 v benfica,fulham and sunderland respectively still had many flaws in our game.sunderland owned us untill the roony goal.
benfica had our arses tight untill ruud poached one in.fulham game us a scary run.
and the 0-0 v lille was just crap.
in short we have never looked convincing this season.
chelsea r gonna thrash everton and extend a 9 point lead over us which sucks.
we r no longer the united we were. and nothing can be done unless we spend BIG for a class midfielder.
drop scholes for 4-5 matches.
ronaldo is out of sorts.as had a poor season.
lets see what the doc (saha) can do after coming back v barnet next week.we'll see if he helps or just prefers to visit the hospital again.
forget about the epl this season.i doubt we can even beat chelsea at ot this season in november.
lets hope atleast we can keep some pride.
the OT camp has lost spirit.

The difference between us and the other big 3 is that they have good set piece takers. When one of them is injured, there is another one who can do a good job as well. In our case, we have Giggs who is sometimes not playing and when we don't have Giggs, we have Scholes, who probably can't get a good delivery in. You can see the difference between Carrick's and Scholes' corners.

As for the spending part, isn't it too good to be true? Where are they gonna get the money? Are we gonna waste it on another Djemba-Djemba, Kleberson or perhaps another Veron? Tottenham took risks in buying lower division players like Carrick, Robinson, Dawson, Lennon and Defoe. Us? We buy players who we think are good but ends up a massive flop. I hope the money is spent wisely and not like some teenage girl's Christmas shopping.

What money? There is no money, it's just a publicity stunt, so that nobody would point a finger at Glazers. the fact stays a fact, that they didn't want to buy Essien and they won't spend a big sum on anybody in the near future. Forget about all their talks.

now i only have 1 hope which is we are able to qualify for CL next season

You can have Pires for 1m

We have been so inconsistent and if we continue this way chelsea will whoop our arse at OT in a fortnights time. No way we can win the premiership if we keep dropping points at home.

Hope Ballack join United



Is OLe Gunnar coming back in November?

with the performance like this, i afraid we don't have strong reason to persuade ballack to join us since other big clubs also after him at the same time :(

Ballack warned over Utd mistake

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has told Michael Ballack he would be making a huge mistake if he decided to leave Bayern Munich for either Manchester United or Real Madrid.

Ballack will be out of contract at the end of the season and is stalling on signing a new deal in Munich.

United and Real are both waiting in the wings ready to lure the 29-year-old away on a Bosman free transfer.

However, the Bavarian giants are fighting hard to keep the Germany international at the Allianz Arena and Rummenigge, the club's chief executive, insists he can see no reason why the player would choose either of his suitors over Bayern.

"I just can't imagine that he would go to Manchester United," Rummenigge told Premiere television.

"What would speak for Manchester and against Bayern Munich? Nothing at all, if you take a look at the table in England.

"If I were a player I would definitely not go to Manchester.

"Real Madrid are obviously a club with an incredible image, but as we've seen they haven't won anything at all in the last two years."

Bayern are understood to have tabled Ballack a new four-year deal but the player has asked for more time to consider his future.

just like i said :(

how true...the big players dun wanna come to our club anymore.

That's why you should rely on getting more youngsters, they don't want to leave because they've loved the club since young age.

We should have tried to sign Emre over the summer. He was a class act for Newcastle today. His set-pieces are also of great quality and he scored from a free-kick.

"If I was a player I would not go to Manchester United under any circumstances."

Can't argue with that.

we should have won spurs.

there were so many games we should have won

Well at least Chelsea didn't make the gap any bigger this week. :rolleyes:

Ferguson and that whole coaching staff is utter wank, the sooner he retires the better for this club.

there were so many games we should have won

Ive actually lost count of how many games Man Utd "should have won" , maybe you guys just need to face facts you aint all that any more.

Ive actually lost count of how many games Man Utd "should have won" , maybe you guys just need to face facts you aint all that any more.
I think all of us have come to terms with the fact that we're currently not the best team in England. Maybe you're just slow. :ewan:

Brilliant assessment, really incisive

Its too bad Pires didnt make a complete twat of himself on both penalties. We wouldnt have seen you around here for weeks. Then again, if my team lost to west brom, id be pretty embarrassed too

God, coming from the mouth of an Arsenal fan. We all have to face it, Chelsea are dominating English football, just like Arsenal did in 03/04, and just like we have. The only comforting thing is that, maybe, after a horrific season, Fergie will have to get his coat, and head out.

:rockman: You're by far my favorite Chelsea fan.

James, I'd rather see Queiroz take off before Fergie. Who knows, maybe a new influence on Fergie will be better than having a whole new coaching staff.

Well this (http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=319186&cpid=8&CLID=1&lid=&title=Fergie+backs+Queiroz&channel=premiership) seem's to back your opinion.

Fergie's quoted as saying, "I rely on Carlos a lot."

I suppose a change in the AM area would in no way hurt us, but , surely, we cannot rely on Fergie forever. Sure, he's brought us glory, and more than once we've all thought of him as a great manager, but now, maybe it's just time for his reign to end.

Oh, and I agree - BlueBalla is the best Chelski fan ever (H) :$

Thanks guys, right back at 'cha ;) I'm just not a huge fan of muppetry in general.

In regards to your coaching situation, I honestly believe that the process of breaking in an assitant that the team knows and trusts will be far more beneficial, but if that cant be had, and you're looking for a clean break, Martin O'Niell seems to me to be the perfect match. There is no way he would say no

i think ferguson situation was like i'm playing FM. clueless on how to make the tactic goes right or he already have no clue on adjusting his tactic?

A more continental manager would be preferred. Someone who knows other players and spends wisely. I know O'Neill did a great job with Celtic but I have doubts over him managing Manchester United.

Happy birthday to mr. Rooney :D

What are the chances of getting Andrea Pirlo? :)

Slim I know!!! But he would be ideal for us, i think anyway, cos he plays DM same as keane i think!. PLus he's a great passer & crosser of the ball and can shoot aswell!

First off, Milan wouldn't sell him and second the club have no money, there's absolutely no chance in hell we could get him.

This is laughable to most people.

P.S Enjoy your 20th birthday Wayne Rooney

Question of the Day: Will Wayne Rooney really shape into a permanently mature player?

What are the chances of getting Andrea Pirlo? :)

Slim I know!!! But he would be ideal for us, i think anyway, cos he plays DM same as keane i think!. PLus he's a great passer & crosser of the ball and can shoot aswell!


We're more likely to get Gattuso than Pirlo. No complaints! :rockman:

Rooney will mature. We've never had an Englishman like him for a while and he will become such a force that he will recognise that maturity will only make him stronger.

Question of the Day: Will Wayne Rooney really shape into a permanently mature player?
He's just passed his birthday, hope he will get more mature. He knows and everyone knows that only a mature wise, and calm player can become a real world class player. But I would always like to see see a Rooney with spirit and fire, fighting for the ball and fighting for the games!

(8) Spirit is the fire, courage is the flame, we are Man United..... (8)

First off, Milan wouldn't sell him and second the club have no money, there's absolutely no chance in hell we could get him.

Well if Glazer gives us the money like he promised then we will.

If Glazer gives us the money?WHAT money?

i can recall my "get van der vaart" syndrome more than a year back.
he's gone to hamburg for just around 4.5 m .
and he's playing f*cking class.the guy had just dropped his form a bit too long.now he's back and thumping in goals.
we're fools not to get him.he would have added the extra spark we need of a world-class midfielder that cans core alot.
but now we are helpless :boohoo:

we hardly havemoney now.no futur replacements good enough for keano.
so let's turn our attention to....................................









mr. glazer; the twat himself.lets give him a runout and try how he fills that role

If Glazer gives us the money?WHAT money?

Probably money from the banks that we will owe

Guess what? (http://www.sportinglife.com/football/cc_league2/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/05/10/25/SOCCER_Man_Utd.html&TEAMHD=nationwide3)

He is really a waste of money.....I wonder how long SAF is going to tolerate this nonsense

That's good. I'd rather have Rossi start.

He's becoming another Darren Anderton.

Van der Sar reveals Man Utd fears (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/4374460.stm)

"We don't have too many substitutes who can change things," said Van der Sar.

this is so true :|

Ferguson 'buys son of the Rock' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/horse_racing/4374688.stm)

he is pretty enjoying his life huh :mad:

Fergie is unbelievable :nape:

what a c*nt saha really is.
i mean getting injured time after time.He seems to be like olive oyle.
well,atleast rossi will start and blake.
we need to sell him rather than filling his pocket every week.

i've never seen such a stream of injuries to any player.
by the way when was the last time he lasted for over 5 matches?
was it somewhere april2004 ?

this injury indeed ad guarenteedly certifies saha with a M.B.B.S degree.

What are the chances of getting Andrea Pirlo? :)

Slim I know!!! But he would be ideal for us, i think anyway, cos he plays DM same as keane i think!. PLus he's a great passer & crosser of the ball and can shoot aswell!

Oh, and you're an idiot too :rolleyes: I'm sure Saha wants to be injured all the time, I mean, what a c*nt, I'm sure he actually wants to be injury prone.

there is a report on the chinese sport web site mention about ronaldo's case. i try to translate it. sorry for poor english and i don't know how to explain some location name since they are in chinese.

http://image2.sina.com.cn/ty/g/2005-10-23/U349P6T12D1840653F44DT20051023115820.jpg

according to a british paper, ronaldo admited he haved sex with those girls but he didn't rape them. at that time, his cousin was there and he was having sex with another girl. overall the case looks like premeditated by the girls since they meet ronaldo in the pub and follow him back to his hotel. after that they went to hospital for check up a day after the incident.

here is the time line of that incident:
12.00am: ronaldo and his friends meet those girls
1.00am: ronaldo back home with those girls
3.00am: ronaldo and his friends leave the hotel and went to "moweida" club
3.05am: those girls came to the same club
3.59am: ronaldo and his friends leave the club
4.07am: ronaldo went back his hotel room
4.09am: those girls came to the hotel, and said they "don't want to go into ronaldo's room"
4.58am: girls leave the hotel, and reported to police after 30 minutes

after 3-2 win against fulham. ronaldo and his cousin with another 2 friends out to celebrate. they came to "sandersen" hotel and enjoy their time in the bar. later, ronaldo and his cousin met those girls and some witnesses said that the girls already in the bar for an hour.

according to one of the witnesses, those girls have accosting to few guys before they go for ronaldo. he confirmed: "obviously, the girls want to have sex with him, oh, not him but them."

after that, ronaldo and his cousin went back to the hotel room with the girls. another witnesses said that the girls looking weird, they seems try to avoid other people's sight.

2 hours after the incident. ronaldo received called from police and he admited that he was having sex with both of the girls and his cousin was having sex with one of them in the passed 2 hours

futhermore, after ronaldo and his cousin went back to their room. the girls have been ignore when they try to follow them back into their room. after 30 minutes, the girls accuse ronaldo rape them but the most important thing is, before those girls went to police station, they actually went to hospital for body check

Guess what? (http://www.sportinglife.com/football/cc_league2/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/05/10/25/SOCCER_Man_Utd.html&TEAMHD=nationwide3)

Haha :rofl:

and about Saha: it's not his f'ucking fault that he keeps on getting injured, even though he was a bit of a panic buy he is a very useful player for us when he's fit. I hope that when he is finally fit he'll be given a good chance.

I don't want our seniors to play in this Carling Cup. This should be for the kids only regardless of which team we play against. Congrats to the kids anyway, they deserved it.

don't worry, saf never does

Untrue. 2002/2003, LC Final, 2004/2005, CC semis

well, he wanted to try and win after the youngsters got them there. i didn't agree, and we lost to liverpool :(

Best fighting for his life (http://www.teamtalk.com/teamtalk/News/Story_Page/0,7760,1778_787915,00.html) :(

I hope he pulls through, I really do. But unfortunately, he continued to drink and this is the consequence. :(

:( what a legend, but one selfish bastard :(

it's Barnet man

a good game is a good game, so what if it was barnet.

a good game is a good game, so what if it was barnet.
Big difference from the players that let you come at them and hope that nothing happens, from players that know they can do something to you and don't wait for anybody.

Hope Best will make it thorugh.

it's not lookin good :( He is "stable" but he has been in intensive care for sooo long :(

He's put it on himself, obviously his doctors must have told him to stop with his drinking, and he hasn't. This is what he gets. No-one likes to see a legend go, of course, but everyone dies, and maybe its better now, then in the future, when he may potentially be in a next-to-nothing existence, and in pain all the time. Anyway, he's a true legend, and I hope that whatever happens is in his favours.

I can't tell... Did Pique slip on his own, or did his foot get clipped by the other defender?

I can't tell... Did Pique slip on his own, or did his foot get clipped by the other defender?

Looks clear to me he definately slip on his own.

I can't tell... Did Pique slip on his own, or did his foot get clipped by the other defender?

From what I saw I think his foot got clipped by the other defender

did some1 heard about adu, i saw that he joing united

No ******* way . . .

Dinamo in Ronaldo claim

Dinamo Moscow owner Alexei Fedorichev insists he is confident of luring both Luiz Felipe Scolari and Cristiano Ronaldo to Russia.

Last week Fedorichev intimated that Ronaldo could be an option and this has now further increased after the Dinamo supremo claimed he had held talks with the Manchester United winger.

Dinamo have endured a torrid season despite huge investment in players which has already seen the likes of Nuno Maniche, Costinha, Giourkas Seitaridis and Derlei - to name but a few - arrive.

However, they have failed to perform as expected and current incumbent - Brazilian Ivo Wortman - is set for the axe and Scolari is now in talks about taking charge next year.

Scolari, currently in control of Portugal's national side, is obviously looking to life after the World Cup in Germany.

"Scolari will come to Russia next week," Fedorichev told Sovietskiy Sport.

"At the moment he is in Brazil getting a Russian visa.

"He wants to know Moscow and Dinamo better. I'll show him our capital, entertain him in our restaurants and will show him the life of Dinamo."

Then Fedorichev returned back to the astonishing Ronaldo link.

"Cristiano Ronaldo? It's not impossible - I'm absolutely serious!" he continued.

Fedorichev then claimed to have even spoken with the United winger.

"I've had a conversation with Cristiano and he said that he is ready to play in Dinamo," he opined.

"Of course this isn't a fact, he has more important affairs in England in his life at the moment, so we didn't talk about something concrete."

Ronaldo is currently under investigation from police about an alleged sexual assault, while he is also yet to sign his new long-term deal at Old Trafford.

Despite Fedorichev's quotes, the likelihood of seeing Ronaldo quit England for Russia would appear remote - although the possibility of Scolari arriving could explain the Dinamo supremo's confidence.

Sources in Russia suggest that Dinamo would be willing to offer Maniche plus cash to try and tempt United into a sale.

so. WTF?!?!?!?!

absolute bollocks!!

I can't serious imagine he wants to go to Russia... :|

It´s media crap, he doesn´t want to go to Russia and Scolari also said that going to Russia now isn´t really appealing. He has Maniche as a team mate and he knows he is having a very hard time adjusting, so why the hell would he go there? This is just media Bs.

Haha, Ronaldo to Russia :D

just watched highlights as i've been away, Pique was unlucky with that slip and it was awesome to see Blake and Rossi score (H). I'd like to see Miller have a couple more first team games to give him the chance to prove himself.


Ronaldo + Russia = Media taking the piss

eey guys check this: 'ManU strikt wonderkind Adu' it meen united gets adu i think its true because of glazer i hope so plzz let it be true

i wouldn't be surprised if Glazer made SAF get Adu, it'd be interesting to see how he'd do in the EPL...

My best hopeful thoughts towards a Manchester United legend, George Best. GET WELL!


Anyways, good to see the kids putting in such a confident performance.
All the best to Georgie, hope he will get well soon.

Have you listened to the song George Best - Belfast Boy?
"Georgie, Georgie, We call you the Belfast Boy!..."

I've uploaded it to a very fast server EC-Photo, sign up for free, really useful for sharing videos :p way better than yousendit I guess.
Get the song here (http://www.ec-photo.com/444990-1/12-George+Best_Belfast+Boy_.mp3)

eey guys check this: 'ManU strikt wonderkind Adu' it meen united gets adu i think its true because of glazer i hope so plzz let it be true

Rossi, Blake...oh wait, ALL young attacking players in our reserves > Adu

i wouldn't be surprised if Glazer made SAF get Adu, it'd be interesting to see how he'd do in the EPL...

it really wouldn't surprise me, may be that old prick think adu is as great as pele since he know nothing about football

well one thing is certain, man U can use Maniche in their midfield.

Costinha and Maniche would solve alot of United's problems.

they would solve basically ALL their probs

well one thing is certain, man U can use Maniche in their midfield.
can agree with u on that,he is an experienced player with good skills! but i would like to have Morten Gamst Pedersen in the united squad,he could be our answer to the freekick/corner situation,i dont want paul to take freekick's anymore! and pedersen got a "nasty" left foot!
:jap:

they would solve basically ALL their probs

They would make Fergie and Queerarse leave United :o?


but i would like to have Morten Gamst Pedersen in the united squad

Isn't he a winger though?

lol, Ronaldo at Dinamo. Ronaldinho might as well move to Syberia then.

They would make Fergie and Queerarse leave United :o?




Isn't he a winger though?

i said "basically" all their probs. but one thingfor sure they'd make em look good somewhat

Maniche is such a talent, Im not nearly as familiar with Costinha, but I badly wanted Mourinho to grab Maniche when he moved to London: I figured the guy had much more to give than Tiago, despite being older.

I hope they arent being wasted at Dinamo, but to see their gifts on one of the main European stages would be alot better.

And isnt Pederson a left winger? If you put Park in the center, he could be a long term replacement for Giggs on that side

According to the dutch media Arsenal is going for Diego Forlan, they will pay alot though, Villareal wants 36 million euro for him..... :O

:rofl:
desperate move if it is true...

To be completely honest, Ronaldo for Maniche plus cash (a good amount, of course) wouldn't be horrible. We have a crop of wingers to choose from (once Neville is back, O'Shea will be able to play LB). Park, Giggs, Richardson, with Park and Giggs both able to play on either side. It would certainly do us more good than bad, because even though we lose a great winger, we would have a good central midfield, and with the abundance of great wingers that we have, I think that it would be a good deal.


I still wouldn't like to see CR leave though.

Are you kidding me? Losing the 2nd best young player in the world for a little bit of cash and a defensive midfielder would be as bad a move as selling Jaap Stam to Lazio. Ronaldo is younger than Maniche and he has so much more potential. And you want Giggs and Park to play on the wings? Giggs is gone in 1-2 seasons and what we do then, if Park or Richardson get injuried? Use Bardsley or O'Shea in midfield? What if just like this season in addition a defender gets injuried as well?

Nope, wasn't kidding at all. I said it wouldn't be horrible, I'm not saying that it would be good, but I was taking the positives from it, and YES, there were positives. We aren't playing very well because the CENTER OF THE MIDFIELD IS ONE LARGE COLLECTION OF NOTHING, and we currently have 4 wingers good enough to play on most teams in the world. I'd be willing to turn one super-strength into just a strength, if it meant that an enormous problem would be brought up to par.

And (as I said before), I still wouldn't want to see CR leave.

if the move is done, then it only can be 2 outcome. either he sucks again and go back to la liga after a season or 2 or he becomes great under wenger and prove SAF was wrong

hope richardson gets a chance on the left against boro

if the move is done, then it only can be 2 outcome. either he sucks again and go back to la liga after a season or 2 or he becomes great under wenger and prove SAF was wrong
What if he is mundanely average? :)

And isnt Pederson a left winger? If you put Park in the center, he could be a long term replacement for Giggs on that side


Pedersen is a winger at blackburn,but he played most as a striker at Tromsoe
i think he could be a good signing!
with Giggs aging and park running wild on the leftwing (think park is better in the middle) i can see pedersen do a great job at united and replace Giggsy when its time...
and with his set pieces,we sure would created more on freekick's and corners,now a days we suck at set pieces!
:jap:

Pedersen is a decent player and maybe sometimes performs outstandingly. He is quite useful in set-pieces but it's the price we have to pay. As for the Ronaldo thingy, that is very unbelievable. If Fergie and Queiroz are blind, they would sell him.

If Fergie and Queiroz are blind, they would sell him.

if he got balls to sell beckham and stam, i wouldn't surprise he do this on ronaldo

SAF has done wierd things somtimes, so who know's?
:nape:

Isn't Richardson good in set-pieces, he has proven it a couple of times.....

he can be good at set pieces, but he's not particularly consistent.

Ronaldo can be sold after the hotel incident. We all have seen cases where Fergie will kick out of a player who can damage the team overall morale, but we also have seen how he stood up for his player from media and public bashing. So, anything is possible.



































BUT MOSCOW ???!!!! C'MON !!!! :|:|:|

Some cool Man U shots. Some from the stands right behind goal.

http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/jgrao/Manchester%20United/

Maniche is looking more and more attractive, and no, I'm not swooning over him. Maybe we can try to get him with... uh... money...

Nope, that wouldn't work.

Good ass whoopin hope fergie enjoyed it...the commentator quite clearly said ' boro's midfield trio is dicating manutd's midfield'

well...at least we have the carling cup! :rolleyes:

Good game today, watch out Chelsea!

what cup?


FC United of Manchester will soon be playing better than Manchester United.

wow!
this game was a good kick in the nut's
:| :| :| :sleep:

absolutely pathetic and humilating. :kader: :nape:

First off, congratulations McClaren and Boro, well played.

Concerning United I don't know where to start or where to end. I feel it's been said by SO MANY on here time and time again.

1. We have NO leader at present.
2. Our midfiled is awful, and gets worse with the wrong tactics.
3. Queiroz needs to go...

what cup?


FC United of Manchester will soon be playing better than Manchester United.

the league cup...we have a chance at it dont we? :|

3. Queiroz needs to go...

When that time should come, hopefuly he will take Fergie with him.

1. We have NO leader at present.
Scholes was obviously our leader today, as he was the captain. DUH!

:rolleyes:

I now do not want to go my training session in an hour, because it is full of Pool fans, Chelsea fans, Arsenal fans, Fener fans, Galatasaray fans, Hamburg fans, Barca fans, Juve fans, and I'm the only United supporter. This is going to suck.

sorry man but u have to start getting use to it...i foresee many of these erratic performances

I'm used to it, but it's still not fun when every time in shooting that I get scored on, I have someone saying "nice VDS impersonation".

Scholes was obviously our leader today, as he was the captain. DUH!

:rolleyes:


Yeah sure but was Scholes performances like a leader, no. :rolleyes:

It was a terrible performance all round, except Ronaldo and Rooney. What is happening? The players look unmotivated, disinterested and not good enough. No leadership whatsoever by the senior players. It is time for serious changes.

vds should have done better for the first shot but where is the midfielder that suppose to close down mendieta?

bardsley should be happy to get of the pitch and thank god he didn't involve much in this game

ferdinand just off form. end story

silvestre have do nothing wrong today

o'shea. ok he just a fantastic player and deserve to play for reserve team

fletcher. he does impress me last season but in fact, his role in the tactic was unclear and i don't even know wtf he is doing and keep losing posession

smith is the poorest player in the squad. first of all he came to united as a striker. then converted to a midfielder and now he becomes keane replacement. imagine you're actually a striker but your manager ask you to play as a defensive midfielder just because you're brave enough to tackle

he's no long the scholesy that we see few years ago. good luck to him and may be good bye

richardson is not a left back for god saken. another victim suffered from fergie multiple position theory

rooney and ronaldo are ok and the most lively player we have on the field in fact, both of them can't save a team from failure

nistelrooy just can't do anything on it

fvckin brutal....... and to think I almost tried to skip work to watch this game.

I never thought this day would come -- United fans experiencing mid-table mediocrity. :boohoo:

words cannot describe my disappointment.

when it so blatanly obvious players are not up to it, and the manager still sticks by it, its time 4 change. End of Fergies reign is essential to rebuild the side! We are a side in transition. Bring on the demise.

Yeah sure but was Scholes performances like a leader, no. :rolleyes:

It was a joke....

I turned off the television when the 3rd goal went in. It was just not our day i would say. Now the team gonna pick themselves up from this defeat and get on with other games. They have Champions League matches coming up and a big rival match against Chelsea next week. They gotta be physically and mentally strong in order to win. We shall see.

we need keano and gary to fvking give a good scolding to our defenders and midfielders

smith is neva gonna be a midfield player...he has desire and hunger but no brains. just dives in with the tackles

O'shea is so sluggish and cant deliver quality balls into the box

Richardson and bardsley should work on their crosses...they just dunno how to cross


Our defence really sucks without Gaz and Gabby

We're hardly rivals. We're barely qualifying for any European play in the EPL, and our form in Europe is abysmal as well.

Ferguson upset at "shocking" loss

Furious Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson branded his side's 4-1 defeat to Middlesbrough an "embarrassment ".

Finaly he says somthing i can agree about!
:nape:

"Every department of their game was off from start to finish and they were lucky in the end to come off 4-1 losers."

this is so true but can ferguson notice that? :(

time for a change i guess

Fergie Eyes Keane Talks

The Red Devils boss is keen to keep the former Republic of Ireland international at Old Trafford, with the 34-year-old's current deal set to expire at the season's end.

The former Nottingham Forest man raised doubt over his United future last month after admitting he would be surprised if he received a new contract from the club.

Despite the skipper's admission, Ferguson stated that plans are in place to discuss a new contract with Keane following the turn of the New Year.

"We will be talking to him very soon," admitted Ferguson.

"Once the New Year is over, we will start.

"Roy understands that and there are no problems for me, either."

:| :| :|

well Fergie keep thinking Keane can still go on with his ageing legs, f*ck sakes, we need new blood in midfield. :|

well if anyone can kick this team back into shape it'll be Keane...



...hopefully :(

sir alex ferguson should try out this lineup next game, i think it would help manutd...


van der sar

bardlesy or w/e his name is ferdinand silvestre o'shea

ronaldo scholes smtih park

rooney van nisteryod

Fergie just don't want to play the 4-4-2 system

yea i dont understand if ur going with 4-3-3 at least make ur mids and forwards

scholes-smith-park

ronaldo- van -rooney

honestly fletcher should not be starting for manchester

honestly fletcher should not be starting for manchester

Neither shud Ferdinand! his form this season is terrible.

We need new players quickley e.g Ledly King would be ideal

Fergie just don't want to play the 4-4-2 system
No, he actually did player 4-4-2, with only Rooney a little behind Ruud. But thanks to our vocal captain and Smith, who is aggresive but just not a midfielder, we got owned by an oldie called Mendieta.

I still can't believe that Ferguson didn't try Silvestre in forward yet, after all, he is big, tall and can head the ball well :rolleyes: . Mind you, he already tried Ferdinand in a pertnership with Ruud in a game that we lost 3-1 to boro again (1.5 years ago).

time for a change. fergie is in danger of ruining his legacy. chelsea are 2000 light years ahead, and we won't catch them with the team we have!

honestly fletcher should not be starting for manchester

because fergie think he can cross like beckham and have the leadership like keane :|

Well it comes down to the midfield. Six years ago Scholes and Keane were up there, one of the best in Europe. Now, not so much. What will it f*cking take? Hopefully after this weeks nightmare at the Riverside, we will be forced to change.

Oh, it's okay, this week was just a fluke, we're doing fine, in reality our team is just suffering a dip in form. This starting IX we selected against Boro will probably be good enough to take on Chelsea next week, so what the hell, we'll play it against Chelsea and hope for the best. You always like to see a good old Scot do well, so Fletcher will be starting, and you know, Scholes has been around forever. Who cares if he doesn't run, we'll stick him in the midfield, and he'll do fine, I mean, he IS better than Lampard, and whoever Jose throws at us, Scholes will do fine. Oh, and what the hell do you know, you're a stupid fan. This 4-3-3 is the formation of the future, and with it we will be Europes top strike-force. What can go wrong with Ruud, Ronaldo, and Rooney up front? [/sarcasm]

For the odd laugh in these hard times :rolleyes: this site is still up.

http://spaces.msn.com/members/ManchesterBuccaneers/ :jap:

Well...to take the positives out of the game

Keane...Gaz..heinze...giggs did not play ..so its not exactly our 1st team that loss to boro.

we really lack depth in our sqaud. As soon as an important player gets injured its like we are doomed.

You should all get down to Gigg Lane and watch some proper football, i.e FC United of Manchester

because fergie think he can cross like beckham and have the leadership like keane :|

He can though...right, Nick :rockman:

The only way to make the seniors more motivated is to introduce the kids to the squad. Its obvious that the players aren't as hungry as Ronaldo and Rooney. And to be honest, our midfield was totally horrible. Forget Mendieta's shining performance, he was shining because none of our players are shining. Scholes is past it, Smith isn't a midfielder and Fletcher is not fulfilling the so-called potential Ferguson sees in him. And the set-pieces suck to be honest.

our set pieces always sucks since beckham left

plain and simple.we have a HOLE in the midfield.
Scholes, Fergie's adopted Fletcher and "I've got wings and I can fly " Smith
have nonethless f*cked up our midfield.
Or is it Fergie who has?Smith was meant to be a striker.Molding a player takes time.
With a club like united's pedigree,we need instant success.
Lille will come up and attempt to screw and injure another cuple of players.If only we had a team like :

Rooney

Rooney----Rooney----Rooney----Rooney

Rooney--------Rooney------Rooney

Rooney--------Ruud-------Rooney

.
To be realistic i'm hoping for this lineup v Lille :
VDS

Bardsley----Wes----Pique---Richardson

Ronaldo-----Smith-----------Park
------------Rossi-------------

--------Ruud--------Rooney(Blake if he's still suspended)

Bench:
Quieroz
Fergie
Phelan
Sir Bobby
Best
Ayyeee Kaaaaaalyeeee

I was thinking, maybe we should give Fred a chance. He is a red through and through, I reckon he have been around for long enough to get a good run in the starting line-up. He is a big and strong guy, won't get muscled of the ball like some certain Darren does, I bet he can head the ball well too...I'm not sure where should we play him though, as a centre back or as a striker.

He also looks like a guy with a great personality...
http://soccergaming.tv/attachment.php?attachmentid=126013&stc=1

lol. so, he will got like pace and acceleration = 1?

Well, it's not like Jan Koller is any faster :p

One or two newspapers will be running a story tommorow. Mate tells me that Roy Keane recorded the latest 'player pundit' for MUTV and named and shamed certain players who shouldnt be playing for United and should be ****ed off asap. Fergie, being the stubborn twat he has become in recent years, has stopped it being broadcasted. Roy Keane, legend.

slightly off topic, but does anyone have a video clip of Rooney's CL debut in the 6-2 win over Fenerbahce? I think shokz posted a clip when it happened but does anyone stilll have it?

Now, which idiot in this thread said Vassell was a useless signing?

Oh wait, ALL of you, thats right :fool:

Pretty sad for you lot, being the FOURTH best team in Greater Manchester (C) :boohoo:

KEANO GOES PARTY STYLE
Story by editor
1 November 2005
Our skipper confirms himself as a doomlord and says what we’ve all been saying for months…

…may have been better to say it to someone other than Pravda TV though.

The Sun reports:


‘Roy Keane has slammed five Manchester United team-mates on MUTV as not good enough. The United skipper tore into Alan Smith, John O’Shea, Kieran Richardson, Liam Miller and Darren Fletcher in a TV interview — which was blocked from being shown by boss Alex Ferguson’

More from the Sun:

‘Roy Keane could be out of Manchester in the New Year transfer window after his amazing blast at team-mates. The United captain has already said he will quit Old Trafford at the end of the season.

‘Now, after naming five United players as not good enough for the club, his position at Old Trafford is almost untenable. Keane targeted Alan Smith, John O’Shea, Kieran Richardson, Liam Miller and Darren Fletcher — and all will be furious with the Irishman when this information gets out.

‘They were named on an MUTV programme called Roy Keane Plays the Pundit in which he was asked to assess the humiliating 4-1 defeat at Middlesbrough. The show was recorded yesterday afternoon but was so strong in its criticism the station decided to show it to manager Alex Ferguson. He immediately blocked the programme, scheduled for a 5.30pm slot, from being shown.

‘Keane is currently injured with a broken foot and is understood to have watched the game on a short break in Dubai with team-mate Ryan Giggs, who is also out injured. Still fuming, Keane flew back primed and ready to keep his appointment with the TV channel.'

The Guardian reports that Ferdinand also got a slating – did his ‘favourite’ paper cover that one up for him too?


‘Manchester United's season went from bad to worse last night when Roy Keane castigated his team-mates in an interview so explosive that Sir Alex Ferguson and his chief executive David Gill immediately banned it from being shown on the club's in-house television station.

‘Keane's criticisms of United's players were so extreme that MUTV's producers decided they would have to contact Ferguson and Gill for permission to put it on the air. A transcript was sent to Gill and, with Ferguson's backing, he ordered that the tape must be binned. MUTV showed a youth academy match instead.

‘The exact content of Keane's vitriol is not known but MUTV officials were described as being genuinely taken aback by the severity of his comments. The Keane rant has become an annual part of United's season in recent years but never before has he named names.

‘Rio Ferdinand, Darren Fletcher, Alan Smith, John O'Shea and Kieran Richardson are believed to be among those named and shamed in the aftermath of Saturday's 4-1 defeat away to Middlesbrough, their heaviest defeat in 19 months. Liam Miller, who did not play at the Riverside, is also said to have been identified.


‘According to those who were present, it became obvious within 10 minutes that the interview would be "explosive even by his standards" and beyond editing. On numerous occasions he was invited to tone down his words but the man who once claimed there was nobody in the Old Trafford dressing room whom he considered a friend continued to condemn Ferguson's players. He accused individuals of playing with their reputations, of not trying and of not understanding the principles of the club. "His attitude stinks" is a phrase that was apparently used. Ferguson's use of Smith in midfield was also thought to have been questioned.


‘United's hierarchy, in turn, are appalled that the club captain could be so condemnatory of his colleagues and willing, apparently, to create the impression that the club is in disarray. They believe his tirade would have done more harm than good and there was no way they could allow the screening an interview that effectively amounted to a calculated attack on attitude, morale and work ethic. The club desperately wanted to keep the matter from the press and MUTV officials have been ordered to make no comment.’

he got balls to slam every in the team. it might be a good thing for the team and it might be a bad thing :S

suprised he didn't single out Silvestre.

If Fergie has the ability to reason.. He'll know that Keano said nothin but the truth!! but doubt he ever listen. :rolleyes:

he got balls to slam every in the team. it might be a good thing for the team and it might be a bad thing :S

I don't think it is going to be a bad thing, atleast the man himself has slammed a couple of players instead of being protected by SAF and co. And for sure this will come as a shock for the team, maybe after this, the team will put more effort in the matches. Even if the show wasn't broadcasted everybody will here about and more importantly the players to.......when will he be back anyways??
It is clear that the team misses his presence and that he must get some sort of function within the club in the comin' future

Now, which idiot in this thread said Vassell was a useless signing?

Oh wait, ALL of you, thats right :fool:

Pretty sad for you lot, being the FOURTH best team in Greater Manchester (C) :boohoo:

But you know they're really a "southern side playing in manchester"

suprised he didn't single out Silvestre.



Sylvest was our best defender on that night ...if it wasnt for him we could have let in more

Finally the legend speaks up.... it is good to single out players so that it will knock some sense into them although it can be demoralizing but heck this is manchester united and each player should be giving 200% every match.

at the moment...i only see rooney doin that

I second that its time for Pique to break into the first team. He has the quality, skills and he is tall.

Solskjaer's comeback was set to be in november,anyone heard anything about this latly?
:jap:

heard of that but i doubt the return of the 20 legend super sub able to save us from poor form :S

hey does anyone have any decent size pics of Solskjaer when he skidded across the pitch in the CL final or one of him sitting in the stands with other players?

tia

Daz

eey guys also heard about javier manchero and marius what ever, i think it will be good signings

i take it you mean Javier Mascherano? and yes, we've heard it all before, but like usual we won't sign him.

Yeah, Manchero and Marius What Ever are top players, would solve all of our problems, especially What Ever, what a player (Y)

But you know they're really a "southern side playing in manchester"

Quite right my man :jambo:

Heck, a couple more goals and we would be SECOND equal :lui:

OMFGZZZ, U still hav dat SWP sign!!!1 Dun u now dat he is an chelsea playa?

suprised he didn't single out Silvestre.

If Fergie has the ability to reason.. He'll know that Keano said nothin but the truth!! but doubt he ever listen. :rolleyes:
right... every problem relates back to Silvestre.


STFU

Silvestre>Ferdinand.

Silvestre>Ferdinand.
Ferdinand's recent performances make Pascal Cygan look like Beckenbauer.

OMFGZZZ, U still hav dat SWP sign!!!1 Dun u now dat he is an chelsea playa?
DUH THATS BRADLEY WP!!!!!! :ewan:

Anyways, I'm glad to see that Roy has voiced his opinion. The only thing I don't like is how he mentioned Kieran, considering that when he is played in his position, he is great, and he hasn't been doing poorly (overall) as a left back.

Bradley White Power?
