Glory Glory - The Manchester United Thread II

[Twizzle]

yes, same place as last year

 

[WireMan]

so Spurs are a top team ?

nice

yes, same place as last year

So a bit of a redundant question then yeah?





Anyways, away from spurs we have signed a player from another little London club.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21195116

Wilfried Zaha from Palace.

10 million now and another 5 if it all goes well. A strong winger with loads of flair but a bit rough around the edges.

 

[Jason Maher]

We sure do love our wingers, don't we?

 

[Ozzy]

Back to a seven point buffer.

 

[Jason Maher]

Shit second half, but 3 crucial points. Thought Van Persie was in line for the goal that was ruled out.

 

[Jason Maher]

Roooooooooooneeeeeeeey! What a striking pair we have. Almost impossible to keep them both out.

 

[sydraider]

9 points clear thanks to the scousers

 

[WireMan]

9 points clear thanks to the scousers

Thanks to that pillock in goal. Should be ten.


In United news, we are looking a lot tighter now. Rooney and RvP are finally getting some real game time together and look really good.

 

[shiznit]

and with Hernandez & Wellbeck waiting in the wings there's just so many weapons.

 

[Jason Maher]

I doubt it. We don't need another striker. We need attacking midfielders and fullbacks.

Call of the year? ;-)

 

[Jason Maher]

Good solid win over a good solid opponent. I was beginning to grow tired of Everton and their penchant for late arsiness against us.

Good solid loss for the pretend big club across town. Not dealing too well with the pressure of defending a title.

 

[WireMan]

Its going well at the moment.

We have Real to worry about now though whilst City can put there feet up.

 

[Jason Maher]

I reckon they'd rather be playing Real than sitting around licking their wounds.

 

[Ozzy]

I'm back after being away for about 11 days. Brefore I left we were 7 points ahead and when I return we are 12 ahead. Maybe I should leave for another 11 days and we may be 17 points ahead. ;-)

 

[Jason Maher]

If we can eke a 16 point lead by the time we play citeh at OT, we can win the league with 6 games to spare by beating them. That would be the ultimate.

 

[Ozzy]

Well the REAL problem is gone.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

If we can eke a 16 point lead by the time we play citeh at OT, we can win the league with 6 games to spare by beating them. That would be the ultimate.

Hopefully you guys manage that cause i'd hate you to win it at the Emirates a couple of weeks later :lol:

 

[Jason Maher]

What a strike by Rafael. Good clearance off the line and a sublime pass that Van Persie nearly scored from as well. I was calling for his head after the two mistakes that let Everton nick a point at OT last season and ultimately cost us the title, but he has been fantastic for us this season. Really starting to mature into a quality attacking fullback.

 

[WireMan]

He still has parts of his game he needs to work on.

for example he cannot win every ball all the time, so sometimes just jockey the other guy and make him do something to beat you.

Also he can shut off when he should be following a shot in. for example the Sturridge goal vs the scousers.


Saying that, he is getting close to the best fulback in the league, and when he calms it a bit and gets the experience then he could easily be the best.


The main issue surrounding the Da Silva twins is the other one. When we signed them Fabio was seen as the better player and only played left back so his bro could play right back. Maybe this is why Rafa has learnt quicker, as Fabio thought he would make it easily?

Hopefully this loan to QPR and watching his bro become a better footballer will motivate him to be the future left back or more likely midfielder.


Anyways, United 15 clear. Happy days.

Now time to sit back and watch Chelsea and City go at it.

Hoping for an fully motivated Fabio next year. The left back spot maybe there to take at some point next year. I like Butner but i think Fabio is the beter long term replacement for Evra.
