The old Man Utd Thread

[fatbob]

Wow, Rio and Vidic aren't taking any chances with back-passes today.

[cantonarv]

we not doing badly at all but we need to be more direct

[fatbob]

Nani though, his decision making is pretty bad.

He really has to come good this season.

[Majora]

Valencia and Nani are our worst pair of wingers for years. Seriously.

[fatbob]

Ooof, bloody amazing turn by Rooney there, last person on the fireld who you want to be on the end of it was Big John though...

[fatbob]

Valencia and Nani are our worst pair of wingers for years. Seriously.

Whats Valencia done wrong?

[fatbob]

Right, Nani off, Giggsy on.

Lets stop fucking about.

[fatbob]

Berbs!

0-1

Giggs made that, wonderful.

[Majora]

And that's why Giggs >>>>>>> Nani

[fatbob]

Scholes is walking a thin line again, need to get Anderson or Carrick on I think, save him a 2nd yellow.

[Majora]

Whats Valencia done wrong?

He's just not very good. His decision making isn't as overtly terrible as Nani's but there's no real quality there. Like I said, compare the pairing of Nani and Valencia to basically any of our wing pairings since the premiership began and they come off badly.

[fatbob]

Big John!!!

0-2

Giggs again made it!!

[Mr Do 71]

John O'Shea scoring on his 350th appearance.

[fatbob]

Woo, Wigan 3-1 Chelsea!

We're going top! (for a bit).

Quick quiz:

Name the eleven men to have played for Manchester United and also managed in the Premier League.

Please don't use Google or whatever, give it some time let's see if you can work it out.

[Liamness]

Steve Bruce

Mark Hughes

Roy Keane

There, I've done the obvious ones.

[BigShimmeryWall]

The three above plus:

Paul Ince

Bryan Robson

Ray Wilkins (if we're including caretaker managers - or was that just for the FA cup?)

Gordon Strachan

Brian Kidd

Joe Jordan (again, caretaker)

Hmmm...

[ckny]

Excellent, BSW. Two to find (yes I made a mistake in the initial question).

[Marzipan Travolta]

Steve Coppell.

[oli]

Surely Brian Kidd hasn't played in the Premier League?

[Liamness]

Pfft, that's not part of the criteria.

Steve Coppell.

Aww man why didn't I think of that?

[DC Lemon]

Are we sure playing in the Premier League isn't part of the criteria or that the question has been asked correctly? Eleven have already been given, so there doesn't seem much point in me putting forward George Graham and Stewart Houston.

[ckny]

Woops! I got the question wrong twice. It was my mate who told me it and I missed Strachan when answering. Yeah, Graham and Houston are correct although I'm calling bullshit on you not Googling it.

[ckny]

Manchester United winger Park Ji-sung has been ruled out of Wednesday's game with Wolfsburg because of a virus but Patrice Evra has overcome illness.

You just know they caught it off each other the big gays.

[fatbob]

Wonder if they went to see Carlitos this week?

[ckny]

[phresh]

Literally in tears when he goes on the rant

"Where was fuck was cunting Klingon Lescott? Cross after cross and his vile spazmo head gets nowhere near them!"

[fatbob]

I remark on this every time I watch ITV football, but why do they insist on smearing a year's worth of Vasaline on their lenses?

[fatbob]

Shame, Valencia was pretty good in pre-season.

I guess the boss is letting Kush take the more 'low-key' European matches as Foster gets the league.
