***Official Manchester United Thread***

[McLeodMagic]

you weren't watching the same match I was. was there another team on the park? on the other hand playing for a draw against united last year was suicide, this year teams are getting away with it far too often

We dominated possession but didn't really create the amount of chances we normally do. Really missed the cutting edge in the final third of the pitch.

Evra and Hargreaves were awesome though.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Evra is just a superstar, never loses a 50/50 challenge and I lost count of the number of attacks he was at the centre of.

Absolute steal.

 

[Knowledge]

I thought despite not creating much tevez did well. He really tries hard it's amazing.

THought we should have won maybe 2-0 or 3-0. Saha's volley with his back towards goal was awsome as was the save by gordon.

 

[DaSawx]

Yeah, big ups to Saha, Hargreaves, Evra, Tevez.

Anderson only got 45 minuntes but looked quite comfortable for a 18(or 19) year old playing in front of 70,000.

Can't wait for Gaz to get back, Wes isn't really filling me with confidence.

Darren Fletcher for right back!

i had a bit of a laugh when i read this

Well there goes all the 'Cristiano Ronaldo is gay' theories down the toilet.

 

[belfast_bomber]

it's disgraceful, I tells ya. would the great george best have been out cavorting with young ladies when he was supposed to be preparing for a big match?

oh.

 

[ashley12]

Saha was very good against Sunderland.

We really need to be playing with two strikers against teams in the epl or we will continue to have problems scoring goals this year.

Giving away Rossi was not looking like a good idea for a few weeks but after the international break with Rooney, Saha and Tevez all fit and firing we should be okay

Hopefully we can have 2 fit strikers at the same time! Saha seems like a soft player to me. Any niggling injuries and he'll pull out.

what's happened to Shinboners?

 

[apollo_creed]

what's happened to Shinboners?

are you implying one of us responsible?

 

[belfast_bomber]

are you implying one of us responsible?

could be a case for mulder and scully

 

[Shinboners]

what's happened to Shinboners?

I've just been indulging my inner gloryhunter by refusing to post until we started winning.

Anyway, my editorials on what I've missed in the past month or so......

We play some pretty good football in our first three games but end up with 2 draws and a loss. We play like rubbish in the next two games and get six points. Football eh? Bloody hell.

Heinze. I don't know what was sadder....Heinze wanting to go to Liverpool or Benitez's whinging and whining when the case went against Liverpool. Nope. Definitely Benitez's whining.

Solksjaer's retirement. 20LEGEND says it all.

Our striking woes. Y'know, it wouldn't be an issue if we put away the chances we created in our first three games. I'm more concerned that the team has gone back into their shells, but I suspect that if we belt someone by 3-0 or more, the goals will start to flow.

yeah i'll miss ole, he was my favourite player, it was a shame about all his injuries

 

[belfast_bomber]

I nearly did a little cry then watching the guard of honour. my mate was at the match (lucky sod, he sold SAF a car so now gets sent tickets every now and then) and he actually did. can't say I blame him.

or alternatively, if the goals start to flow we'll belt someone by 3-0 or more

 

[Shinboners]

Ah, yeah.

Once we get a 3-0 win under our belt, the goals will start to flow in the rest of our games.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Hopefully Ole stays on in some capacity, he was a breath of fresh air in a league where more often than not, players care more about themselves than the team and the fans.

 

[DaSawx]

anyone gonna be at the 'G tomorrow night?

 

[apollo_creed]

anyone gonna be at the 'G tomorrow night?

[McLeodMagic]

anyone gonna be at the 'G tomorrow night?

Hopefully Tevez scores to build up his confidence.

 

[DaSawx]

spot?

nah, went there last night

From The Official MUFC Maths Workbook, which covers sums for practising Key Stage Two maths for 7-11 year olds. This has been introduced as part of the Government's maths campaign.

1. Wayne is 78 yards away from the referee at Old Trafford and Gary is 65 yards away. If Wayne can run at 21mph and Gary can run at 16mph, who will be sticking their vein-bulging forehead into the hapless whistler's face first, assuming Wayne does not stop to stamp on an opponent on his way.

2. If one minute of time is taken up in a game for substitutions and one minute for injuries, how much injury time will be added on by the referee if Man Utd are losing at home?

3. Ryan is a Welshman. Express, as a percentage, the number of internationals he has missed on a Wednesday evening compared to the miraculous recoveries he made for the following Saturday.

4. Manchester United are one of the giants of world club football. How many more European Cup Finals have they appeared in than Steaua Bucharest? (For one extra mark; How many more than Reims?)

4a. How many more times have Manchester United won the European Cup than Nottingham Forest?

5. Phil Neville has 30 international caps. If you take away the number of appearances when he was the only adult male in England who could just about kick the ball with his left foot, how many are left?

6. You are the referee at Old Trafford. How near to a visiting defender does a tumbling Ronaldo have to be to earn a penalty if he goes down in the box? (Note: Round your answers down to the nearest 20 yards.)

6a. Probability. Express the statistical probability of visitors to Old Trafford being awarded a penalty. Compare this with the probability of opponents of Manchester United being awarded a penalty home or away, and then discuss if a penalty awarded to Manchester United would be awarded to their opponents in identical circumstances.

7. Mark "The Red" lives in Guildford. How much does it cost for him and his two sons to travel to the Theatre of Silence every other weekend, including limited edition matchday programme, a few drinks and prawn sandwiches all round? How much could he save per week if he watched his local team instead? (Note: Round your answers down to the nearest thousand pounds).

8. Alex had a hotel room booked in Athens or the Champions League Final. How much money will he lose when cancelling his reservation?

9. Ronaldo is tall, very strong and fast. How much pressure need be applied to make him tumble over in the opponents penalty area? (Note: Answers must be in lbs per square inch. However, answers such as, 'However much pressure is applied by Ferguson to referees' are accepted.)

10. Alex has won it 1 time, Bob has won it 3. Alex has one, Bob does not. What am talking about? Explain your answer (because nobody else can).

11. Rio is a very lazy boy and often goes missing. Alex is very cross and wants to sells him. If Rio cost £29m to buy, how much do you think Alex sold him for? How many pennies did Alex lose? For an extra mark convert your answer to dollars for explaining to Malcolm "the leprechaun" Glazer


Thought a few on here might appreciate this one.
