Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Um yes: I can see about 200m very good reasons why 'Uncle Malcolm' has leached money from United - does that give you any clues?

As to why 'Uncle Mansour' has sunk £1bn into a team he clearly doesn't care that much about - you see THAT's what I don't understand.

You do realise one has made money from football while the other is pissing it away right?

And you don't see creating an entire operating model dependant on getting 'Uncle Mansour' to pay for your losses each year as a bit of a problem?

Well then, you sir are a very fortunate fan, and I wish you the very best.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Rooney's form is exciting, I think this is easily going to be his best season ever.

he's combining his number 10 role with buckets of goals.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

He was excellent for England today - and has been for us all summer.

Hate to say it, but that probably means it's metatarsal o'clock ;(
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

With Ashley Young and Rooney's new hair, we'll probably get a lot more headers too.

The season's looking very promising. Especially with Pogba also waiting to be drafted into the team. Him and Cleverley are gonna be an awesome team in a few years.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Morrison can't be ruled out if were talking Pogba. I think they might possibly get a Carling Cup game this year but next season they could be apart of the actual squad.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yeah I'm genuinely looking forward to the Carling Cup games this year.

I've seen a bit of Pogba but nothing really of Morrison, granted he seems like a massive twat but if he's got the talent then I think I'd let him off.

Gonna be funny to see the average age of the CC team versus the current starting eleven, probably won't be much different.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

I've watched lots of youth stuff - Morrison is one of the best young players I've ever seen. Sadly, that's just in terms of his football - I believe that if he'd sorted himself off the pitch he'd already be in the first team.

He has this grace on the ball that is so rare - like watching a young Giggsy or Iniesta. He glides rather than dribbles.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

:... I am surprised someone like Rio Ferdinand for example isn't being used as a tutor/mentor for him. I think something like that could help him mature if he was allowed to mingle with the first team squad for a while.

Also found this little discussion about him

YouTube - Ravel Morrison talked about by Mark Chapman & Co. on 5 Live Sport

Were playing well at the minute aren't we :))

Im talking to myself aren't I :((
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Freakin eh, quite good that.

Hernandez looks rather sharp, great to see.

Only stain on the match was Kevin Davies, completely unnecessarily breaking Cleverley's foot. Challenge from behind in a completely neutral part of the field - so ridiculous. Not even a card of course.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yes we are playing well but there is a long way to go.....

chelsea started strong last season...

this is our toughest week yet, away to bolton, away to to benfica then home to chelsea...

3 points already in the bag, 4 points from next two would be great!
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Cleverley is a massive loss, when the team is playing that well you don't want to change anything, Welbeck went down but Hernandez is sensational, hopefully Cleverley's loss isn't something which knocks us back.

Anderson has started the season unbelievably good.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

I am starting to feel that we have regained back that fear factor we used to have effect on opposition teams during the 90s.No team in the premiership wants to play us right now.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Cleverley only a month which is good news in a sense.

I wouldn't go that far, Barcelona are the best and people need to accept it, their just that special.

I do love how were trying to get 11 "footballers" out every week.

A defence of Rafael-Smalling Jones-Fabio processes better players on the ball than most teams midfield.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Bet Rio is thrilled to read this: "The programme also discovered that between April 2007 and August 2010, 240 drugs tests had to be abandoned because testers turned up at training grounds but players were not there. The clubs involved included Manchester City, Liverpool, Fulham, Everton, Newcastle, Swansea and Crystal Palace."

240 tests missed = no punishment. Rio misses a test = 8 months.

Kolo Toure fails a test and gets less time.

But the FA love United right?
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

What you going to do? I'm sure Rio is currently pissed but it was a long time ago, typical FA just being crap.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

So Benfica tomorrow, still missing a good few players. Hoping Fergie doesn't fully rotate the team, as it might break up the momentum we've had to date. At the same time, with Chelsea on Sunday, I can understand if he did. Could give a whole load of players a rest with a pretty strong (if slower) team:

--------------De Gea-------------
-Smalling---Jones---Evans-Fabio--
---------Carrick--Fletcher-------
--------------Giggsy-------------
--Valencia---------------Park----
-------------Berbatov------------

Close, Aalborg it was.

In the same vein, I can't remember the last time Rooney got a group stage goal?

goals in all knockout stages tho, home and away i think, ooops he didnt score in first knockout game..

but still, same vein?

Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yeah, Berba's non-performance in Europe is genuinely baffling. It tends to be slower, more considered and more technical - so you'd expect him to love it!

Big match for him if he starts. Hernandez looked absolutely lethal on Saturday, so the pressure is clear for him to force his way into Fergie's mind.

Yeah he always seems to end up with about 5 European goals a season and they're always in the knockout stages.

So in the same vein as another United striker not scoring in Europe, I couldn't remember him scoring in the group stages since his debut (though he must've done?)

Roma in 07/08, was that group or knockout, can't remember.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

He only scored in the 1-0 at OT though didn't he? That was the quarters IIRC.

Edit - Nvm, 1-0 against Roma was group stage, he then scored home and away against Kiev.
