Manchester United Thread [2007/2008]

When is Fergie going to release Anderson, I mean it was good to see the defensive side of his game but it seems a waste of his attacking talents to play him where he is now, He doesnt seem fit enough at this stage to play as a box to box midfielder.

but the way I understand is that a football match is 90 minutes and we were 2-1 up after 90 mins was played, so technically we won the game.

 

[mnj2x]

Well...what can i say. Terrible defending on our part. We just had to hold for about 2 mins and we couldnt.

Great game, it had everything. But the best team was United, we shouldn't of conceded that goal in extra time, but the way I understand is that a football match is 90 minutes and we were 2-1 up after 90 mins was played, so technically we won the game.

So Munich won the CL in '99 then?

ha,ha
good point,1966+2006
and Lee :dont forget united have a habbit of scoring in the 90+,so that was not a clever statement,he he

 

[LeeTheLegend]

We do have had a habit of scoring crucial goals in extra time.

I'm just saying that the best team (United) deserved to win, but as ever Arsenal score a fluke goal that was undeserved, just like the last minute goals that were scored against us last season at the Emirates.

Arsenal are now the team to hate, after we've hated Chelsea so much over the last 3 and a half years. Still hate Chelsea too

 

[1966+2006]

I hate everything that isn't Man Utd or England so it doesn't make much difference to me...
Though I do have a special spot reserved for Man City and Liverpool...

 

[Help?]

Chelsea is long way away from being gone from the title scene. They are only 3 points behind and look better than they were with Mourinho.

That is not funny.

+ Repped.

Wow nice to see that somethings DO change with you unlike some other things, mainly weight.

EDIT: You made me post after myself

 

[Gaz0509]

it was a good game but thought even tho he scored ronaldo was trying to much! u cant go doing that in big games like that play it simple and break there defence down.

god im turking i havnt bin to a game since roma!!

 

[1966+2006]

I haven't been to one since we played Bayer Leverkusen away in 2002 so count yourself lucky.

 

[farmboy]

I've never been to one, so count yourself lucky.
I did go to a charlton pre-season game in 2001, but it was as close as i've gotten to prem league live.
Someday, though....I don't care what I have to do, but I will make it to old trafford

Man Utd are preparing a security dossier after they say Alex Ferguson was verbally abused by Arsenal supporters.

It's a road Man Utd shouldn't be headed down.

Next time the "Arsene Wenger is a paedophile" song comes out, expect one from Arsenal.

Next time Crouch is called a freak, expect one from Liverpool

Next time gas chamber noises are made at Spurs, expect one from them.

 

[PaPaGeorGeo]

anyone got something to say about Anderson? Im interested as he used to be my FM treasure

 

[mnj2x]

The best player in the 1st half.

 

[farmboy]

Next time gas chamber noises are made at Spurs, expect one from them.

As well they should. that's despicable.

 

[Gaz0509]

good player is anderson. well i say hes good and he is and a lot of potential there! but still a bit young to judge!

 

[PaPaGeorGeo]

My point was more about the fact that he was playing as a defensive midfielder and his attacking talents aren't being yielded at the moment. You will probably say you don't need these talents because of Ronaldo and co and having him play as DM balances your side but I'm sure like all of us you'd like to see him in the front half.

I admit I expected him to play like Ronaldinho (quick passes and flicks and runs) yet he seems to really enjoy chasing and closing down opposition players as well. I have a suspicion he may just turn out to be a box 2 box midfielder in time. I would enjoy seeing more of the kind of skills he did in Brazil though.
