The Manchester United thread

[RedVGooner]

Disappointed with the result but was good to watch a good game. Hilarious stuff from Wenger when he got sent off

 

[Jason Maher]

The Wenger send-off was classic stuff. I think even the United fans appreciated him having a bit of fun with it. As much as we hate each other, the one thing we can agree on is how useless the match officials are.

 

[stuke]

Wenger handled himself extremely well in that situation. how ridiculous it was became magnified with his walk off. well done to him!

 

[Mad Dogg]

jeeze, carrick is abit dusty after last season..

He certainly is well and truly out of form. If it weren't for Fletcher we would be screwed, he's basically playing as a one man midfield out there at times this season. Scholes played fairly well in that one game, but otherwise our other central midfielders are completely out of form. Carrick in particular needs to get his act together ASAP.

It was a strange game against Arsenal. It felt like we were playing like crap and they were playing fairly well, but there was never really any period where they were truly dominating us. On top, yes, but not by much.

Awesome performance tonight. Dont think it was the best move by Harry to start Keane, Defoe and Crouch. Fletcher, Anderson and Scholes (before he was sent), were absolutely tearing Spurs midfield to bits. Evra is a lollipoper, but was superb on Lennon. Rooney well he was Rooney, tried all night and showed his class once again.

Huddlestone is a skirt

 

[Jason Maher]

I'll take it. If not for that bloody match against Burnley where we squandered inumerable chances to score and missed a penalty, we'd be sitting up there with Chel$ki.

 

[Ridders]

Nice to see Scholes once again displaying his wonderful tackling technique...

lol SAF should tell him hes never allowed to go to ground when tackling ever.

 

[Jason Maher]

I imagine if Sir Alex hasn't got it out of him by this stage of his career, it ain't ever going to happen.

 

[Ridders]

I still lol when i remember that pommy commentator last season who made the statement about Scholes that "He's played 600 games and still can't tackle".

 

[Vossy]

berbatov had another memorable game, couldnt help but lol when he missed 2 chance at goal and the crowd starting chanting 'thats why we sold you'

cudicini, chucking that hissy fit at his wall before giggs slotted the ball passed him :lol:

ANDERSON! better late then never..

think one of the commentators has a thing for keane with such phrases as "just rub it out keane, you're a big strong boy", in a seedy voice

 

[Twizzle]

big difference between your mid field and ours, we gave away possession far too much

boy did we miss Modric

 

[WireMan]

Huddlestone should get a two game ban Eduardo style fo conning the ref. Never a second yellow.

The difference between our midfield and spurs was ours to a man was better. Better passing, tackling, positioning, working. We had 10 men and were strolling around the pitch. Brilliant perfomance. Fletcher was emmense, giggs was cool as always, Rooney is a monster. Happy days.

Spurs top 4, dream on. You were given a footballing lesson.

you just cant help showing all the arrogance of a Manure fan

no one suggested we were a top 4 team

I came in here to give you guys credit and all you want to do is bag our players

enjoy talking amongst yourselves

No one? You mean your not suggesting. Plenty of Spurs fans seem to think they will be up in the top 4 this year. Especially after you beat the scousers. Manure? You sound like the gutter media.

Not bagging anyone, just making the point that spurs are someway short of the top teams.

If you want to talk shop, do you think Crouch and Defoe will work? Playing Crouch makes your team play up to his head. For knock downs etc. However crouch isn't very good in the air, and Defoe has to play for scraps. That russian bloke would of been better. Defoe with confidence high especially after his goal barely got another kick of the ball. Also Keane is not a left winger, would of been better playing Bently there so he could supply good balls to Crouch.

Huddlestone isn't mobile enough. He couldn't get close to any of our midfield all game, even when we were down to 10. Also Harry must of known that one of Berba or Rooney would drop deep and should of prepared his team to counter this. The first half it was to easy for United to roll the ball through, then our greater engergy in mid with Ando and Fletch showed as they ran past you midfield to apply more pressure.

no one here has suggested Spurs are top four

we call you Manure, you call us Spurs, whats in a nic name, if you're referring to the gutter media in your country, what has that to do with anyone here ?

Crouch only played because Keane was on the wing, because Modric was injured, personally I dont rate the beanpole

Huddlestone is a squad playe for when JJ is injured, nothing more, like you said he is too slow, we tried to unload him this summer.

Like I said, you guys beat us in the midfield, pure and simple

watch tevez cat it and not play..

love united v spurs games, something always happens and they are always great matches to watch but 'arry stuffed it with keane on the wing and that 'send it up to the tall white guy' will only work once or twice...someone needs to tell your keeper to calm the feck down, he just looks stupid if he has a hissy fit when he cant defend his side of the goal

united are slowly getting it together, you know they are improving if anderson scores a goal
