The old Man Utd Thread

[Guest]

Why wasn't he sent off?

[exwhyzed]

goalllllllllllllllll

[Gabzy]

YES MICHAEL!!!

[mercenarri]

Good finish!

[Liamness]

Interesting finish from Park there. He could've put that away.

Berbatov has been brilliant.

[Naysonymous]

Why wasn't he sent off?

Because he plays for Manchester United.

[Liamness]

If we're in the final third and they've got men back, we get impatient. We've got to keep the ball better.

*edit*

My wish comes true. This game has calmed right down. I don't see a goal in it this half.

[exwhyzed]

Not another injury for Owen

[Gabzy]

So...Neville on for Rafael. *sigh*

[Liamness]

FUCK YES

Rooney's getting about as good at this heading thing as one can get.

[Gabzy]

Rooney the new king of headers!!!

[exwhyzed]

Rooney header. It's all a bit predictable.

[Gabzy]

Park you greedy cunt! Berbatov was completely unmarked on the right

[Liamness]

Game is opening right up now. I know, Valencia to Rooney is getting predictable, but it was beautiful to watch all the same.

[exwhyzed]

lol and again. so close

[Gabzy]

Post again!

[exwhyzed]

It's like on Fifa when you found a cheap way to score.

[Liamness]

Just got to soak up what Villa give us, then break just like that.

They do look very threatening, so many players who can deliver a ball into the box, plus great height to attack the ball. Makes me glad Vidic is still on the pitch.

Really weird offside decision right now, going for us. We can't keep the ball, Villa have a minute to attack. Almost unbearable.

[Gabzy]

Well, that was enjoyable

Feel for Owen though, he looks really down.

[Liamness]

SAF looks like he just does not give a shit.

*edit*

Alright he's mustered a smile now.

[mercenarri]

A shame Park finished on the subs bench, I think he played a blinder. Top players for me were him, Valencia, Fletcher and Berbatov.

[Liamness]

Yeah, he was great. Some absolutely devastating runs he made, for me the left berth is his for the rest of the season. Shame about his finishing. If we'd been better in front of goal, we could've won this comfortably.

Aye, he deserved a goal.

Carrick deserves a mention too, he was brilliant today and unlucky not to score.

[FamicomFist]

owen is fooked, like an old donkey

[fatbob]

Was a decent game, unbelievable that Vidic didn't see red strait away, what a joke. Saved by committing a foul in the first 3 minutes. Hes about the most cynical fouler in the league at the moment, i don't feel confident with him in one on ones anymore.

Parky was great, as was Berbatov and Valencia, and Owen was actually pretty good and fast untill the injury IMO. Rooney though eh.

On the whole though United deserved it, Kush didn't have a lot to do and Friedel made some good saves.

Do you think Darren Fletcher's early years at Old Trafford will forever taint his reputation with non-United fans?

I ask because pretty much every single one of my Liverpool, Everton, Blackburn, whoever, supporting mates write him off as nothing more than a workhorse.

I maintain he is the complete midfielder. I wouldn't swap him for any other like-for-like player in the league. Perhaps that's the problem. Is there anyone else that plays the same game as him?

Makalele? Essien? Hard to say really...

[ckny]

Well Makelele plays for PSG now and I don't think he was as attack minded as Fletcher. Yeah, Essien is probably closest comparably.

Deep sitting, great passer, terrific shot, in-amongst-it, tremendous appetite. What a player.

Ditto here. I will rave about him, and everyone else will be like 'scotland's finest lol'.
