The old Man Utd Thread

[phresh]

If everyone's fit, I'd rank our right-backs like this;

Hargreaves > O'Shea > Brown > Rafael >>>>>>>>>>>> Neville

He's actually very good.

You forgot about Ctrl+Alt+DeLaet

You forgot about Ctrl+Alt+DeLaet

I thought Da Laet would have played more this year, he's looked quite handy when I've seen him

[tonymg]

Well it looks like we're going to win at least 1 league title this year, we beat liverpool reserves and only need 4 points from our final 2 games. Great strike from Obertan.

Pato means 'duck'.

Kaka means shit.

I'm looking forward to the WC, but mostly the summer friendlies we get into as I don't think we need much bringing in, Chicharito, Diouf, Owen and Rooney are enough for our forward options, especially if the former is actually any good! I don't rate Welbeck or Macheda much, maybe they'll develop, they deserve the time to become a player in their own right. Wouldn't be too surprised if Berbs goes in the summer, but, he's never a bad player to have around.

I suppose Tottenham's unexpected win today might get my hopes up slightly, that they can get something against Chelsea. Who, after all, did labour to a home win against Bolton yesterday. Spurs have a point to prove, after exiting the FA cup to Portsmouth, and fourth place is still to play for. On Saturday they'll be hoping we beat City, and we'll be hoping they beat Chelsea.

WTF

O'Shea is right there on the bench! Fletch and Valencia will be hamstrung going forward. Nice team besides that, though.

Neville's positioning completely wrong, a through ball to Bellamy who has tons of space on the left to pick his pass. Very dangerous.

Thanks bigshimmerywall...im installing that veetle plugin, hope it's legit.

[working - brilliant, thanks]

[Liamness]

Veetle is great.

Excellent save from Tevez free kick! VDS is our rock. We're disrupting their breaks fairly well so far, too.

Scholes has the best chance of the game so far, drags it a little. In that position, with that time and space, very disappointing by his standards.

[Guest]

I'm confident you guys will win today. I think you'll just bustle through...

[Naysonymous]

I just go to my p2p.eu and find a stream from there. Every sports fan should have it bookmarked.

Spend a fiver on a DVI to VGA cable, get the game on your telly.

[Liamness]

Rooney hasn't had half a second on the ball. They're really crowding him.

New best chance of the game fall to Rooney on his left foot. He has Giggs (I think) free on the left, but should bury it anyway. Good signs though, we've been on top.

[Guest]

Poof. Valencia creates do many good chances for you. Should be two up now...

[Liamness]

Yeah, great touch to come inside from him. We need to get him on the ball more, him v bridge is probably our way through.

[phresh]

It would be easier to get Valencia on the ball if there wasn't a 50 yard gap back to the Worlds Slowest Fullback^TM. Gibson hasn't been much help supporting him either.

Should really be a goal up by now, I expect City will be better in the second half too so should be interesting.

[Liamness]

Cards start to come out, maybe Rooney will get a bit more room now. Great break from City, Bellamy fucks up the shot.

Gibson off for Nani.

[Majora]

A goal isn't coming is it? Lots of possession but no real chances

[exwhyzed]

Nah not now, Berbatov is on.

[aidey6]

Hmm well he's going for it with Obertan....

[Liamness]

The subs for both teams seem to suggest a willingness to go on and win the game, but you couldn't tell it from the performances. We need a bit more urgency, the tempo needs to pick up again.
