***Official Manchester United Thread***

[Punchy Bassett]

We should never have sold Rossi.

Selling Rossi AND Smith was the possible mistake, needed to keep one of them just in case.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Great start to our campaign with Rooney expected to be out for a while with a fractured foot

Really was a shit start wasn't it. Comparing it to this time last year and my feelings are a 180 degree turn around

 

[Bartram_Class]

We all love John O'Shea after "that" goal last season but really, putting him up front?

Should have loaded Rio and Vidic up there, its not like there were hurting us going the other way.

I don't think we need another injury prone striker.

 

[belfast_bomber]

I don't think we need another injury prone striker.

I dunno, he'd be useful cover for o'shea and fletcher.

 

[RoosterLad]

and who do we bring on when we're struggling to break down reading?

o'shea and fletcher.

Haha that is gold unfortunately.

I missed the game as it was the late one and I had an early start.. didn't sleep so might as well have stayed up.. but after checking my phone for the score/news this morn at the bus stop I'm glad I didn't. Oh well, only 2 points off top! Can we sign Chopra?

Bring in the bing Dong

 

[McLeodMagic]

Tevez to debut on Wednesday, just confirmed by Fergie.

Well you got to think now he is a big chance to get a go.

Great news for everyone.

I feel bad for Rooney (even though I dislike the dude) and wouldn't wish an injury upon anyone.

However, I think it's best in his month or so out of the game he improves his attitude. His attitude/respect towards referees is still disgraceful. Not sure how he constantly escapes punishment when he's quite obviously abusing + swearing at them.

Irrelevant though. He's a spanking footballer. (even if wasteful in front of goals, ie; last night)

Tevez will be interesting. With the service Manchester United often provide, it will be quite a show in seeing just how prolific he is/can be.

Why single out Rooney?

The whole league is a disgrace, can't believe they don't clamp down on it.

 

[Knowledge]

Win is a must tomorrow morning. We hate going to pompey though

Absolute rubbish.

He is literally 10x worse than any other player. Doesn't just argue he goes ADD Crazy, swears at the referee and just acts lke a big idiot.

The fact you're even comparing him to other players in this regard shows you're hiding from the reality of the situation.

 

[Jeremias]

Is our game on Foxtel tomorrow morning? If so, what time?

 

[Corrosion]

Is our game on Foxtel tomorrow morning? If so, what time?

It is. Coverage starts from 4:45am. Game kicks off at 5am...I think. Just make sure you're in front of the tv by 4.45 haha.

 

[belfast_bomber]

it's actually 19:45GMT kick-off - 4.45 your time

Kick-off is actually 4:45am. Can't wait to see Tevez!

 

[Corrosion]

Ah! Thought so. I must've got it mixed up with one of the 5am starting games. Cheers.

I'll be watching Arsenal anyway

 

[Jeremias]

Not gonna wake up at 4:45, way too early for me.

Will definitely tape it and watch it when I get up.

I also can't wait to see Tevez

 

[apollo_creed]

I'll be switching between the Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City (home) games.

I never thought I'd want to watch a Manchester City home game again after last season.

Hate to admit it, but City looked a top unit on the weekend, definitely played the most attractive football, Petrov looks a real quality purchase.

Get Bresciano in among them and they'll only get better, anyone know anything about his transfer, seems to have stalled?

palermo called it off ages ago. citeh wanted to pay in instalments but palermo weren't having it. I'm sure this decision had nothing whatever to do with thaksin's financial credibility.

subsequently "Eggy" has tried to "reel him in", with predictable consequences.

 

[Knowledge]

sigh dropping points is so mcuh fun. It's even better when you dominate the game.
