Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yeah both good shouts, especially for Rafael. Also Evans already shown he is capable but if Rio's injuries continue I can see him making himself first choice as he really is class.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

What do you gentlemen think of your chances of winning the league this season with more or less minimal changes? That is with Hernandez and Smalling obviously added.

Do you think you have more stability considering you have more or less the same squad from last season which only finished 1 point behind an all firing Chelsea team.

Or would you have preferred more radical changes, with more players coming in and more seen extracted from the club?

Are worried about your club's financial predicament with the glazers? What are your perceptions of the debt? Do you feel you are safe or on the boarder of a crisis?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

If we manage to avoid an injury situation like last season we will win the league. I'm happy with the squad.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

According to giggs Pool are amongst the few to win .Now, that Cole is there :P I do pray for a less injuries in all clubs .
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

J Cole is a broken player. My sources tell me he himself feels he is not the same. He'll play a bit part for Liverpool. Who I personally see challenging for 4th/5th once again. No threat to anyone really.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

This is how I see next years table finishing

1. Man Utd/Chelsea
2. Chelsea/Man Utd
3. Man City
4. Arsenal
5. Tottenham/Liverpool
6. Liverpool/Tottenham
7. Villa
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

We just won a game against Philadelphia Union thanks to a goal from Gabby Obertan in the 76th minute.

Read that Sir Alex started with a front three...Obertan and Welbeck at the sides and Macheda as the CF.

Are we going back to 4-3-3 next season?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

It felt more like a 442 to be honest, with Giggsy out wide left but a bit more withdrawn, Obertan out very wide right and the two through the middle.

We made a real meal out of it, but eventually won. Some woeful final passes and shots were what stopped us racking up the scores (and some good goalkeeper anticipation, to be fair) but what worried me was how easily they created chances.

Wes Brown and John O'Shea were defensively woeful, for the second straight match. Very odd when a Fulham reserve player and a Brazilian kid known for poofy hair and attakcing football are providing better defensive positioning then two established internationals. Complacency perhaps?

Oh and Berbatov was once again silky when he came on, created a few openings and spun a shot brilliantly against the crossbar (and possibly over the line, I couldn't quite tell, wasn't given). He really is looking up for it this year...

(and Scholes should have been sent off for two horrible challenges. so nothing changes)
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Kiko and Wellbeck have a long way to go before they're ready I think.

Kiko's attitude and positioning are suspect at the minute and despite getting rave reviews, Wellbeck just doesn't look that good to me, looks less lethal than a small kitten with no claws, that said he did play a lovely pass through for Obertan to score.

Berba and Rafael came on and made a large difference to the game, and Gabby finished off a lovely move with a great finish.

We were bloody awful though to be honest, even if some of that is down to how hard Philadelphia worked.

Its was definately 4-4-2, with Giggs also in the team. Nice goal from Obertan. Showed quick feet to get the finish in such a tight space.
I honestly think he's on the verge of giving Nani and Valencia a serious fight for their places. In fact, I already cant decide who I'd prefer. But I guess I'm only basing this on two friendlies so I'm a little biased.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Hes not with the tour and wasnt really mentioned being injured leading up to the tour rite? Hes been kidnapped!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Probably just smokin' trees in Equador.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

He's injured, can't remember what's wrong with him, but Fergie said he'd be ready for the start of the season in the same press conference he confirmed Rio probably wouldn't be.

(and that Hargreaves had done a runner to colorado)

I'm beginning to think that we're really not going to sign anyone else. Which will, undoubtedly, result in us paying over the odds in January when we're out of the top four and struggling following injuries to Scholes and VDS.

Sigh.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Didn't Tony V do his knee against Spurs? Can't remember him playing after that...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yeah he got injured in the run in. It was against Spurs or maybe the Scouse but he was taken off during a match and that was the end of his season.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Well, Vidic has agreed a new deal.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11667_6276473,00.html

"It's yet to be signed - the paperwork is now being sorted by our lawyers and being checked by Nemanja's advisors. He's still away on holiday but the plan is that when he gets back the papers will be signed."

Read that on the premierleague site as well.

Good news.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

that`s like signing a new player but his wages go slightly up to 90k and Rooney`s will go up 175k I bet. Blame City Toure getting 200k or something ridiculous like that. Who can afford players when wages goes up like that.

"Dont worry, guys! I got this."

He'll be a fuckin' legend if he signs.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Great news, Would have been heartbreaking to lose another top class player to Real.

Or no doubt by January we'll be praising SAF by not buying anyone by being top of the league followed with Nani and Anderson starring ;))
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

A rich man cracks when his millions turn to thousands, Mutd fans cracks if their team slips :P like rooney said "I love your support" :COAT: . I bet half you lots would leave this site if Mutd have a bad season HALF! Look at the Chels Thread :LOL:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I'm sure if you check through the Arsenal thread for posts from five years ago that there were at least twice as much of your fans regularly contributing to that thread around that time. ;)

you can`t compare to the gooners I was in my 20`s last time we won :LOL: sumthing. I`ve been since July 05 can`t speak for those before I mean some 6 years back :LOL: Clockender n joystick still pops up time from time . You know exactly what I mean too ! Winning trophies year after year then 1 empty season its mayhem I only know Runedge n metallica from back then though they were happy to win the carling cup imo proved to see they had no plastic in them . At the time we thought Mutd would never win again and thought the battle would be btw Chels n Arsenal and those lads had hope and saw the carling cup as the beginning of the MUTD dominance. I`m not saying the rest of you lots are plastic . Having so much success sort of brings others into the mix. If any get offended then the guilt lies within :SMUG:

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

In a way it would be good for us to not win anything this year. It would get rid of the plastic / prawn sarnie brigade for a start (though quite a few have jumped to Chelsea over the last 5 years). There should also be a ban on those that thought the league started in 92, and don't get me started on the twat United fans who think it's okay to call us 'Man U'...

Saying that, the last time we didn't win the league for a few years we won it back & made the CL final.

And even though I live 'daan saaf' I'd still travel 550 miles every other week even if we dropped a division...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Well, it depends `92 was a long time ago. `91 I do remember the brawl btw Mutd n Arsenal (at OT)that turn my attention to them a bit Arsenal imo was the NWA of England straight out of Highbury. I was 17 I lived for the moment and thought SerieA was a league of it`s own. Football has changed so much from those days. Not sure if plastic thrive in those days like you see now.

Like you can see in the states a few Mexicans wearing their Mexico NT kit while carrying the USA `s one. :RANT: Then, again ppl can do what they like I bet those are the sort that DC while playing FIFA :LOL:

I seriously doubt MUTD will lose the plastic fans being the richest club sport-wise in the World , NO City has the richest owners. You know there are ppl who think Cole n York are still there only because giggs is I would call those fans on pause lol.
