Manchester United thread

They know we're coming!

Much like haemoroids, we were always aware of your presence.

 

[mojito]

Haha. This needs to go in the Suarez thread as a response to WC

I'd make it my avatar if it weren't so huge

I know what you mean

 

[Punchy Bassett]

I want everyone bought into line manureid, people on the list included which is the point everyone seems to be missing. Wouldn't you like it if people on that list were cautioned/carded if they came in here and trolled the team you love or went OTT on the main board? Simple question

So why have you only started this 'campaign' once Liverpool was the target?

 

[A Bit High]

Where getting to them!

Hart: City feeling the heat

Joe Hart admits Manchester City are feeling the pressure from Premier League rivals Manchester United, but insists his side are still the team to beat in the title race.

Hart says he and his team-mates are up for the fight as he acknowledged the heat being generated by an in-form United.

Having dominated domestically in the early part of the season, City were pegged back at the top of the table on Boxing Day, with the red half of the city pulling level on points courtesy of a 5-0 win over Wigan. That came as City were drawing 0-0 at West Brom, with now only a superior goal difference keeping them on top.

"Of course we feel the pressure," Hart is quoted as saying in the English press. "You have to earn the title and it's hard work.

"We're the team to beat and we're enjoying that but it's not always going to be as easy as we've sometimes made it look in the past.

"Of course it's disappointing not to have won again but West Brom set out for a point and they got it. We need to be winning these games but we haven't and we move on."

By the time City take on Sunderland this weekend, they could have been relegated to second spot by a United win over Blackburn on Saturday. Hart, though, accepts that such challenges are part of the push for Premier League honours.

"The league is not set up for us to win it. Everyone has their own private little things that they're trying to do - if they're not challenging for the title, they're challenging for Europe, if they're not challenging for Europe they want to stay above the relegation zone.

"Everyone has got their own agendas. There is all sorts of pressure and we're feeling it," Hart said.

Sadly, he probably won't see this in here. Put it in their forum

Smalling out for three month with glandular fever according to a few different papers. If true, I wouldn't expect him to be back near his best until mid next season.

Cupboard starting to look a little bare in the backline.

obvious post is obvious?

 

[Macca19]

So who has a current guernsey and is relatively tall? Put your hand up, you might get a game at the moment down back.

Talk about shit luck.

 

[Macca19]

Hopefully Fergie starts kicking boots around after that. ****ing awful. Between Rafael, ****ing Nani and Valencia they must have turned it over about 70 times.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Pathetic performance. De Gea looked awful in goal.

 

[Stretford End]

It was crucial to get three points and put pressure on city and we’ve bottled it. Park is useless against teams that park the bus and Surely lindegaard has to be number 1 now.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Was out for the new year parties so missed the game. What a crappy way to begin the new year. Did the hard work to get level on points to only stuff it against the bottom team.

However, FA have released their report. Pretty damning. 115 pages. Very detailed.

 

[manureid]

The only good thing that can possibly come from that effort is that Fergie maybe sees the need to strengthen in January... we were pretty poor in MF, especially with Carrick in defence, so depending on how long our back 4 are going to be out for (Vidic excluded as season), we need help.... Lindegaard anyone? And also, Rooney out entirely, was that forced?

 

[mojito]

was impressed with our efforts after we went 2 down. pity that urgency didn't give us a 3rd.

 

[Macca19]

We dominated possession, dominated forward movement, created 100 corners but I just got that overall feeling of tardiness from the players that the win would just happen and that they wouldnt need to get out of 2nd gear. How many times did a cross come in that ended up in the crowd? How many times did nani give up the ball trying to be Ronaldo? How many times did we give up the ball by too weighty first touches.

Very very disappointing because it should have been a win.

 

[SupportMe]

De Gea, Park, Hernandez, Rafael, Nani and Welbeck were all pathetic last night.

When the squad was announced I questioned the fact that there was not at least one of Rooney or Giggs on the bench. These are clutch players who can get you that goal when you need it.

 

[moomba]

Few stories in the press today about why Rooney wasnt even on the bench.

Not convincing stories though.

 

[Macca19]

Well, at least the status quo remains, but what a chance to go ahead.

Something about a boxing day dinner with Coleen wasn't it?

 

[Stretford End]

Very poor performance. Not looking forward to the weekend at all, could see another drubbing.

 

[mojito]

Only caught the last half hour but geez we were rubbish

 

[Hawthorn United]

Cheque book at the ready. Really need an injection of new players of quality.

 

[SupportMe]

Went back to bed after the first goal - the team playing once again like it was just going happen. Need to buy some players who are settled on the ball.

 

[Cruyff14]

Bastards!
