The old Man Utd Thread

[ckny]

So what you're saying is it's ok to lose as long as it doesn't matter? Not in my book.

[bowser123]

I'm saying that if I can't be arsed it's kinda difficult and probably silly for me to be bothered if the players aren't mithered about performing I guess.

Have you not noticed the trend over the years for Utd to lose when there's nothing riding on it? I'll always remember that year we beat Arse 6-1 at home at Xmas, probably having the thing won by that game too. Ended up like 12 points clear. But, yeah. Derby County beat us at home in the final home game, 1-0. I'll never forget just how pathetic we where that day. It was followed by two away defeats that were nearly as bad.

Then stuff like West Ham and Tevez when we should have relegated the fuckers, there's been loads of times I can recall. I think I expect a really, really bad performance and in my mind think that perhaps the preparation or intensity is wrong and, wham, with nothing to play for it seems to happen. Was fully expecting it at Hull last year, only they were the most pathetic team I've ever witnessed so we got away with it.

Unfortunately for Wolves, I think after the weekend we had they are going to cop one.

I've been on justin.tv, but that seems to have gone off now as well.

Actually, try here...

[fatbob]

I always Sopcast. Channel - 69850 is good.

http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=...amp;part=sports for other links.

[Reynard]

10 changes for Wolves? Wow.

Good chance for you to boost your GD.

[Indy @ S.E.]

is it possible to sopcast on a mac?

[fatbob]

I don't think so unfortunately.

So close from Rooney and Vidoc there!

Try that: 1-0 just as it loaded for me - Rooney!

[Liamness]

Great XI. I hope we really batter them in the second half, get the confidence up.

[fatbob]

I missed the pen, what happened?

[Indy @ S.E.]

cheers for that jsh4, works a treat!

[jsh4]

I missed the pen, what happened?

Missed it too - didn't even realise it had been a Pen he'd scored until I checked on BBC!

[Zappster]

Handball by the wolves defender led to it.

[jsh4]

No probs Indy, I always use www.mp2p.eu to find the best stream; if there's no Veetle one there, I try the 'Mediaplayer' and 'Sopcast' ones - normally find a fairly decent one.

EDIT: that should be www.myp2p.eu

[futureshock]

Less of handball, more of volleyball grab.

[Indy @ S.E.]

woooo 2-0, bullet of a cross met with a bullet of a header by Vidic... how we missed you!

[futureshock]

Obertan and Evra look like a good combo down the left.

[Liamness]

Nice little skip past from Obertan. Bit selfish with the shot, then again we need that don't we?

Oh, and brilliant late run in from Vidic for the goal.

[phresh]

We've really not been great but the 3 points are more or less in the bag. The Scholes/Gibson combination appears to be just as rubbish as the Carrick/Anderson one.

De Laet has done pretty well though, always looks to get forward and is deceptively quick. Obertan has shown some really nice touches, lovely little give and go at the end there.

[jsh4]

Yeah, 2-0 is a nice little cushion - couple more goals in 2nd half would be nice. Good signs from Obertan, sometimes a bit greedy.

Ta.

Strike from Valencia. Great pass from the great Berbatov too.

[fatbob]

Bloody hell Gibson, keep your studs down!

[fatbob]

So, fucking hell: looks like Vidic is going to be out for Fulham at least and Brown is out for two weeks.

Seem like the time for Hargreaves to come in and get his confidence up again as a defender.

Also, where is he?

[Gabzy]

Still no comeback date for him.

Vidic out This is getting beyond a joke now. I'm wondering what the hell Fergie is putting our defenders through in training when they're all falling to pieces like this.

[fatbob]

Its nice to see hes had a hobby cultivating a plethora of facial fluffs while hes been away.
