Manchester United F.C Thread [2009/2010]

[Pogba4Now]

Wow!!! Wigan just Houdinied Arsenal by scoring three goals in the last ten minutes...unbelievable, it certainly is us or Chelsea to win the league

What a crazy season this has been... For the first time in so many years it has been like that. In the last few seasons, we usually already know which team's gonna win the title 4-5 games before the end of the season. This time so many twists and turns at the end of season... I hope Wigan can do the same to Chelsea on game week 38 lol

Been a bit busy this weekend unfortunately and only just caught up on all the action. Tottenham were excellent yesterday and thats given us a great chance seeing as Chelsea still have to go to Liverpool. I felt we got a bit lucky, looked as though City should've had a penalty and Vidic cleared off the line, but at this stage its just a case of getting the ball in the back of the net and winning by any means. No team has ever won the Premier League after losing 7 matches as we have, but if we win all three of the final games I think we can do it again. Shows how quickly things change in football.

 

[Help?]

Liverpool lost Torres till the end of the season now. That's a huge blow.

 

[Pogba4Now]

They're so toothless in attack without Torres. But if they manage to snatch a draw, thats good enough. We'll have to beat Tottenham on the other hand.

Jammy bastards

Ooh, it's gonna be a tight one lads

Interesting note...even if Chelsea were to take maximum points from their final 3 games, they would finish with the lowest number of points of any champion since 2002/03. The most they could get this term is 86 points, and that would be the lowest winning total since we won the league in 02/03 with 83 points.

I guess that means the league has been more competitive and more evenly matched this season than it has been in a long time, which is good for the Premiership.

 

[Pogba4Now]

I remember Fergie predicting back in December that 83 points only will be enough to win the title this season... There's a chance he might have got that prediction right lol

 

[melodybaby]

The next week, wish I MU will beat Tottenham, Chelsea defeated Stoke City

 

[Help?]

I hope you meant Stoke City defeated Chelsea

Can't believe that our title chances depends hugely on Liverpool, interesting to see how they will play against the Renties. A similar situation happened last weekend here in Holland. Fc Twente (McClaren's team) are top of the league with one point more then Ajax. They played against Feyenoord yesterday and won 2-0. A few days before the match supporters from Feyenoord (Ajax' most hated rivals) demanded from their players to lose the game, just because they didn't want Ajax to win the league.......

I would like to think that Liverpool would be professional in any case. The FA should intervene if there is any hint that they weren't. Also Everton could finish above Liverpool and that if nothing else will be an incentive to beat Chelsea, as will be the recent history between the two.

According to some reports, Berbatov has been linked to a move to Inter, Milan and Bayern. Inter willing to include Balotelli as part of the deal and Milan willing to include Huntelaar. I don't know much about Balotelli but he's young and could be someone for the future. But Huntelaar? Haven't been impressed at all with him so far at Milan. He's not very young as well (27).

Berbatov's agent said he's moving nowhere though and Fergie said in the past that he "still has faith" in him. I'm pretty sure he'll still be here next season. Hope he'll impress this time if he stays.

PUT BERBS ON THE NEXT PLAIN TO ITALY.

Inter would be out of their minds INSANE to give us Super Mario, a tremendously talented youngster who has already proven he can score at the highest level, in exchange for Berbs.

If this is true we must make it happen NOW before they come to their senses and realize how much of a bad deal it would be for them.

 

[Pogba4Now]

No lol actually the other way round. They say we have made an offer for Ballotelli and are offering Berba + cash. from goal.com

I don't think goal.com is reliable though. I don't usually trust Goal.

[cfdemarco]

Those reports have to be rubbish, Inter would never part with Mario that easily.

Their two premiere strikers, Eto'o and Milito, are 29 and 30...they wouldn't add another 29 year old if they have an extremely talented 19 year old who continues to show promise, that just doesn't make any sense at all.

Mario is 6'2" 190lbs, big, strong and fast with a ton of talent, he could easily become a player like Drogba, a striker who has size and strength to match skill, and in another 3 or 4 years he will probably be a terror for defenders everywhere.

This just sounds too good to be true.

If Fergie pulls this off I will be in love with him by the way.

Benitez is under pressure to perform and beating Chelsea would win him some great negotiation points.

A lot of conjecture about Sir Alex's future, a couple of very reliable journos reckon he's set to retire at the end of next season. Also the name beig bandied about is Laurent Blanc!

 

[Pogba4Now]

Haven't seen any of these reports. Any links? I remember reading some quotes from SAF himself last week saying that he's considering his future and next season might be his last season or something. Doesn't mean he'll quit though, he's just considering it due to his age.

I've watched United under SAF throughout my lifetime... A change in management would seem weird to me at first. I am interested to know how the team will operate under different management. I've never seen United without Ferguson. I'd be interesting to see how the future manager would deal with the Glazers... SAF always keep quiet about these stuffs, but suppose Mourinho comes, we all know how a controversial type of person he is... I wouldn't be surprised if he speaks up about these stuffs in public.

If SAF were to retire, I think I'd prefer Capello above everyone. This man has the experience and there are no doubts about his managerial abilities. I'd be happy with Mourinho or Blanc though.

I'm really glad that Liverpool won last night. I hope their UCL chances stay alive till Chelsea clash, so they can bring their best.

well, it's in Chelsea hands right now, so we badly need Gerrard and his teammates.
