Manchester United Thread [2007/2008]

[1966+2006]

We beat Tottenham 3-1 in the FA Cup.
Keane gave them the lead before Tevez equalised 7 minutes before half time.
Then Ronaldo got two.

 

[Help?]

Spurs made United work at times, but overall it was quite a comfortable win. Any news why Vidic didn't play?

Yeah it seems that SAF en Carlos have found a gem in Manucho

manucho 2 - http://www.d1g.com/video/show/?id=1730256

what's that now, 3 goals in 2 games ? I think he scored 3ish in the friendlies in the build up to the African cup too.

That makes him joint top scorer at the moment. Wonder if he can keep it up. Angola face Tunisia next. Looks like they might get through to the next round. Win or draw I think.

Thanks for the video clips of his goals...I was lookin for them

 

[Help?]

United should just keep Manucho and use him as a sub this season.

 

[Fernandez]

Angola need to advance though to get a work permit. At least he's doing what a striker should do, scoring goals.

I thought United were really made to work by Spurs yesterday, O'Hara had a great game against Ronny. Berbetov is class, I'd love to see him in a United shirt.

Oh what a surprise... we got Arsenal in the next round. We are being screwed here - 16 consecutive Premiership teams? C'mon.

 

[newbie original]

16,!! really?

 

[1966+2006]

It's the only all Premiership encounter...

Have Chelsea played a Premiership side yet? No matter - they line em up and we knock em down!

EDIT: The TV commentator got it wrong, it's the 11th consecutive Premiership side we've drawn. The list is from now;

Arsenal
Spurs
Villa
Chelsea (Final)
Watford
Boro
Reading
Pompey
Villa
Liverpool
Wolves

Then we had an away tie at Burton before that.

Tough draw for you and the Arse. Good luck though, 'cos I hate the Arse

So do I!

Wolves were in the Championship at the time we played them.

Were they? I could have sworn they were in the EPL.

 

[Fernandez]

They were in 2003/2004. When we played them in the FA Cup, it was 2005/2006, when Rio played in midfield in that game.

Anyway, read about some conspiracy theories that the draw was fixed. They were saying that the balls of ours and Arsenal's were either heated or cooled down. Very humorous read I must say.

Seems Tevez has decided that (and when) he wants to go back home (to play):

5 years seems like far too long....announcement should have been with a year or two to go.
