That was the single worst performance I've seen United put in for at least a year, possibly since they played Lille and lost in last years CL group stages. What the hell happened to Wes Brown? He was out of his league. If Park had been replaced by any number of players United should have had about 6. His touch, vision and even running were utter rubbish. Darren Fletcher looked more nervous than the reading players.

Disgraceful. Arsenal's future may look bright, but ours looks decidedly bleak. Here's to hoping we win the prem this year, beceause if those are the players coming in for scholes/neville/giggs, we're all f*(ked

And what does Alan Smith have to do to get a game?
 
But then again, can you blame anyone after fielding a midfield made up of O'Shea, Fletcher, Park and Richardson?
Now if that was Scholes, Carrick, Giggs and Ronaldo, it would have been a different story.
 
It was a really awful performance from the 15 minute mark on. Embarassing, I would say.

Anyone think that Reading played some rather nice football? Especially Oster and Little?
 
Too bad Coppell lacked any ambition to win the competition or other wise it could have been a very different result over both games.

Dont think your own club showed much "ambition" in either cups, how many did arsenals senior and junior squads put past 'em again....

alot of mickeys (both plastic and bred) seem to be infatuated with our supposed luck this year, yes of course you need luck to win anything, you dont can't believe you nicked your 5th and a couple of the other European Cup(s) cos you we're a fantastic football team, outplaying everyone, c'mon now..

thank fuck we've got last night out of the way, im glad we won but we we're pretty shite (again) okay the team was gonna be changed etc..

we all knew that..

but our first team players havent been exactly firing on all cylinders, we have had too many "wake up calls" and still not woken up..

anfailed is not the place I want us to get our first real ass whooping!!

We're in a great position in the league, no one can be certain with the cups cos consistency doesnt really count so all the treble talk coming out of the club is un-necessary IMO...

Anyway according to Rednews.co.uk this is the team for sat..

VDS

Gary Nev
RIo
Vidic
Evra

Carrick
Scholes
Giggs

Rooney
Ronaldo
and the only debate goes to Larsson or Saha,
 
remember last year, everyone took the piss about our new owner being american..

now villa are being run by a yank....

the mickeys soon followed...

now I siddy are offering themselves to a yank...

hhhmmmmm...
 
I would plead with Fergie to play Larsson and NOT Saha. As he proved last night he scores 1 good goal once in a blue moon.... he did the same against Chelsea but in between times he is simply awful! Id rather have David Nugent!

Saha v Larsson to me is all about how we're going to play. If we're going to hoof the ball ala Lille, Fulham and Reading then I'd prefer Saha. But if we're actually going to try and play good football through the middle and out to the wings, I'd prefer Larsson.

Let's hope its a Larsson game!

That's a really good point.

Also, I'd be gutted if the FA looked at that battle and banned lots of Chelsea players for 3 games each.

The FA wont though.... if it was our players involved in the brawl they would have done though I bet!!

the scary thing for you though is that the yank who is gonna buy man city is far richer then the other ones.... far far richer...
 
For those of you who don't know, if Ryan Giggs plays against Liverpool this saturday, it will be his 700th appearance for Man Utd, which is kinda strange cos Scholesy made his 500th appearance in the reverse fixture. Maybe it's a secret trick of Fergie to play players in their milestone games against Liverpool as they will have more confidence or something...

Players like Ryan Giggs rarely gets replaced.He is that special.I'm sure that many are gutted by the fact that the Captaincy is handed to Neville rather than to Giggs.I personally would prefer Giggsy although Gaz has done okay so far albeit that spat he had with Sir Alex in France.I'm sure Giggsy is the most fired up amongst our players whenever we play the Scousers bearing in mind what happened to him eons ago.
 
That thing with Gary in France was nothing. All he told him to do was stay on the pitch and keep the team out there cuz some were starting to follow Lille off the pitch.

As for the captaincy, Gary would still be the best player for the job cuz he's better at motivating the younger lads and a lot better at giving the players a good kick up the arse if they're not doing their job right.

^ Agreed and yes we wont be able to replace Ryan, very special player who has been an excellent servant to the club. Richardson is no where near his standard and unfortunately Park has disappointed me this season, I thought he would set games on fire... instead he runs into no-mans-land and loses the ball quite often.

I think our best player so far this season without a doubt (and I cant believe im saying this after last summer....) Is Cristiano Ronaldo. He has been excellent this season.

Makelele has come out and said what we're all thinking: win on Saturday and its ours, lose and it might well end up being hte chavskis. How depressing would it be not to win the prem with a goal difference of almost 20 better than the team winning?

Indicative of their style of football, but you can't knock its effectiveness.

Who'd of guessed last August we'd be in this position? :)
 
I miss Roy Keane. On winning championship manager of the month:
"I'm not bothered about it, I'll stick it in the garage. I can't get my head round why they give out these bloody awards month to month"

well, if we don't win tomorrow, it'll be touch and go because we won't win at the Bridge, most likely we'll lose so.....who knows what could happen

and Henke plays his last league game as well :(
