Manchester United Thread [2008/2009]

[MaestroZidane]

It shows how great Manchester United is when our rivals belive we are in a bad form when we are winning our matches.

If that goal was lucky, how about Messi goal against getafe which came from deflection.

We are champions of England, Europe, and World. so please ...

Oh man.. You praise Barca so heavily in the barca thread and even want them crowned at the Bernabeu, yet now you claim ManU are Champions of everything. And if i'm not mistaken, you seem to be taking a shot at the fans that support the team that you support.

I think Arnau would agree with me if I say... Seriously, just pick a team and stick with them.

By the way, That Berva shot really lacked strength. It sort of reminded me of that Anelka missed in the CL final.

Guys leave him alone. It is his inborn right to decide to choose whatever team he supports. Just don't care for him. Let him say whatever he wants.

Sorry just couldn't resist.

 

[Dipanjan]

Well. Even thats his problem. But he will be in a big Dilemma in the Champions League final and that's where his true loyalty will come out. But only if, Manchester united go through to the next round.

 

[Blonky]

You didn't just diss our captain and one of the longest serving members of the team, did you?

I agree, you must never forget the past.

and btw, I know MU won a lot of matches with small differences like 1-0, 2-0, but they were constant and didn't have problems to beat their rival. Now, not only they are wining with just one goal difference but they are having terrible problems beating an opponent.

As I said before, I think the United players got sucked into the complacency trap - if you're not focussed 100% on the team you're facing then you expect to be beaten. Liverpool didn't play brilliantly, Fulham didn't play brilliantly - but they beat us. That's down to lack of concentration and effort, simple as that.

But for complacency, we'd have been home and hosed in the Premiership by now. But we're not, Liverpool are reeling us in and Chelsea are coming on the rails, if we blow it - we have no-one to blame but ourselves and perhaps Fergie needs to look at the hunger and attitude of some of his players. (I'm looking at you Cristiano)

And Berba also IMHO.

Our defense has been the key this season, really. We can keep clean sheets but we're clearly having difficulty scoring for some games.

Ok, I think so many people are obsessed with the fact that I supported three teams. I like football and I watch seria a and la liga everyweek. Its hard that you follow something without having some favourites, Barca and Juve are my favourite teams in Seria a and la liga, and I really care about them BIG BIG TIME. Especially about Barca because I really like catalans and their beliefs.

But If any of them plays against Manchester, I am always at Manchester side because it's a side that my father and grandfather supported as well (in fact, my grand parents are from Manchester).

Again, I wish success for both Juve and Barca but my true loyalty refers to Manchester (My late uncle gave me Bryan Robson tshirt when I was 6). Manchester is really part of my blood and passion.

 

[thelordspawn]

Looked like SAF wanted everton to win from his choices to take pk's Ferdinand and Vidic? wtf is he thinking He wouldn't make those stupid choices yah i know the "defenders make th best pk takers because they rarely take pks and are least predictable" crap but SAF doesn't believe that **** i think he wanted Everton to win to give a team who is unlikely to get to a cup final again for a very long time a chance for glory.

Fergies had tevez wellbeck macheds scholes etc to choose from and he chose ferdinand and vidic he wouldn't do that if he wanted to win.

Also U nited got shafted of a penalty which would've won the game

And as usualy Berbatov was **** yet again

He clearly has no passion and looks like a lazy lardass piece of **** who doesn't even try. Absolute failure i'd rather have peter crouch then Berba****.

Oh, well nice to hear that. Finally the buck is off ur shoulders. I always knew that.

So Barca are already through then are they Dip? hehehehehehee.

Or as Arnau would say........jejejejejejejejee

 

[Dipanjan]

No, of course not, Sir. But the Barca "spammers" here think you guys have no chance. According to them, Chelsea are no match for high flying Barca. And I was replying them. Not Zakov.

To know my honest opinion just see what I predicted in the Champions League prediction thread. That's what I think will happen. And you obviously know where my loyalties lie.

 

[Zakov]

Sorry I've lost the plot here, replying to whom and for what?

 

[Dipanjan]

You were actually there in my mind when I replied to that. In one small corner of it only. But the Barca fans were occupying a larger share of my mind when I wrote that post beacuse he (kp40) was quarreling with the Barca fans over some issue (probably Messi's deflected goal). And then, I wanted to help the poor guy out. Hehe

The way they're criticizing Fergi for his FA selection makes me sick. It was a big dissapointment that we lost but he gave oppurtunities to young players like Foster, Da Silva brothers, Gibson, Wellback, macheda to play in Wembley and in front of 88,000 people. Foster could be a good replacement for van der sar (at least in less important matches) and he got confidence by playing in a first team. Macheda kept us at the top, wellback and Gibson were impressing as well.

I never forget Ronaldo interview few months back that he mentioned one of the reason that he became world's best player was a confidence that Fergi gave him in a first place (that number 7).

we won two community shields, carling cup and more importantly champions league on penalties and to be fair, we were lucky in the last two so it's impossible to have luck on penalties all the times.

I hope this Arsenal get a point tommorow and we increase the lead till weekend because we should play champions league as well next week so Fergi can rest some key players for spurs clash.

Fergies had tevez wellbeck macheds scholes etc to choose from and he chose ferdinand and vidic he wouldn't do that if he wanted to win.

1. Macheda was off by that time
2. I really hope you are not serious saying that Ferguson wanted to lose

 

[ladylover]

I think that Hiddink will come up with a plan to stop Barca.

Even though we went out of the FA Cup I think that we are having a good season (except for goalscoring). We are in a very good position to win major honours and besides that this season we have seen quite a lot of youngsters getting a chance. Thinking about it I can name about 7 youngsters whom have played an important role this season. The future is very bright.

1. forgot he was one who came of for Berba**** my bad.
2. i know its kind of bizarre bt if fergie wanted to win he wouldve put wellbeck and tevez in ferdinand and vidic's place if he wanted to win why would he put players regardless of how "experienced" the are who pretty much ave never taken a PK (maybe once before regardless uber rare) as your 1st and 2nd or was it st and rd or 2nd and 3r4d forget order instead of tevez and wellbeck?
