Very funny.... there's only 1 egg, & that is the other team's 0 score. Why is it 5?? Just becos the team scored 5? What if the score was 5-1? Then it becomes 4 eggs?? :confused:

[Devilboy]

YES! RVN has open his scoring account! Other EPL teams will have to crack their brains on defence to stop him now! Good Work Man Utd!

Guess there is more to come! It is pretty obivious that Phil Neville was angry when Keane shoved him aside during the match!

[Devilboy]

Keane is set for an operation on his hip. Will be out for 3 months....... Wonder will Man Utd be better or worse:confused:

Man Utd Vs Boro.
Predictions anyone?
Last year, Boro snatch a 1-0 Victory late last season that greatly dented Man Utd title defence last year. Will Man Utd go all out for Revenge??

I think Man Utd will win 2-0! Hopefully RVN starts his premiership account! Boro looks pretty good nowadays while Man Utd was trouble by injuries and media pressure. Will our beloved club emerge victorious???

Utd seemed to have lost their cohesion....esp in the last 20 min...they could have killed off the game within the hour, instead they cant finished it off in the last quarter..will definitely be punished if they are to face the big 5 ....

I think what they seems to be lacking is the ruthlessness to finish off opponents like they used to be. They are holding back after one goal........

Remember the year 1998 when Arsenal steal the title from Man Utd? The following year (Treble Season), Man Utd start off slow and goals were limited for the first 12 matches. I guess now, Ferguson wants his squad to play effective soccer rather than attractive soccer they used to. Get the whole squad to warm up and not to strain themselves early in the season. We got along way to go! There so many games, Man Utd just afford to strain their players so early.

i believe veron would add more creativity
i guess he is held back when keane is there
a few more games and veron would be the boss of midfield
so lets wait and see...

I have waited for 1 seaon plus 1 world cup to see the so call "real" veron, now that Keane is sidelined, I too believe this is the last chance for him to prove himself, but I also believe that this is the best chance to show once and for all the kind of flop he is.

I am a ManU fan but no Veron please!!

Does calling Veron flop every now and then gives you excitement??? Please.....Its getting boring! He did played well so far, though he didn't produce superstar performance, he did his job quite well. By the way, do you really watch the games or just focus on those who scores.

LONDON - Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen have rejected the latest outburst from Roy Keane - this time, suggesting that England was more interested in swopping jerseys than in beating Brazil at the World Cup.

The former Republic of Ireland international launched his stinging assessment of England following the serialisation of his outspoken autobiography.

'The players' body language at the end was: 'We've done okay, haven't we? We've got to the quarter-finals,' ' said Keane, adding that club team-mate Nicky Butt felt the same way.

'I spoke to Nicky Butt about them concentrating on swopping tops and he didn't disagree with me.'

keane is really irritating me a lot these days. he just can't shut his mouth, i'd rather united do without him than veron.

Well, you won't be seeing him at least for the next 6 weeks. He is going for his operations! Hopefully he does a brainwash too......He must learn to play football with his legs to earn the team respect rather than using the mouth.

No, it does not give me any excitement, in fact I would like to be able to do it like so many people and call him a "genius", but the fact remains, he is a "flop".

I watch the game and I don't really care who score, as long as he is wearing a ManU jersey.

And yes, it is getting very boring, and getting rid of the root of this boredom is the only way to solve the problem......I apologise if I get on your nerves but this is my assessment of him, no matter how unqualified I might be.....

[tranze]

sigh keane does make a difference

[kengbeng]

Notice that more teams are packing their defences against Man Utd and hoping to catch them on the break. Hence, the strikeforce doesn't look as threatening as before.

But that is no excuse for being unable to kill off so-called 'lousier' opponents. :slant: Also, opposing teams seem more motivated to win against Man Utd. Hopefully, they will wake up their ideas before it's too late.

[t0yb0x]

I think it's becos of the Veron syndrome spreading to the other players.

Do u notice that whenever Veron plays, he has this lerthargic attitude, where he dun make effort to run his lungs out, & he makes short, easy passes only whenever he has the ball.... as if he's scared to receive the ball. But then, it shows up on his high percentage of passes, so not too bad statistic!! :eek:

But to be fair...MU does have a few disputed decisions tat resulted in non-penalties.......looks like they will carry on losing for the mth of sept unless sth spectacular pops up !

Man U should not have gotten Rio Ferdinand. He's good, but takes up 30 million. It could get a couple of other players who can do the jobs almost as good as him.

[trickle_on]

Hmm.....just a little something I wanna add.

I was watching some of the matches from Man U's earlier seasons, on VCD, when they had players like Steve Bruce, Pallister, McClair, Cantona..etc.

They used to play the ball on the ground more. Their close ball control was exceptional especially when it came to wiggling out of tight situations and they were some a lot more cohesive as a unit.

This cannot be said for this past season as well as from the way the team is playing now. I remembered when Beckham came on as a kid to play for Man U. He used to bring the ball all the way down to the touchline before making a cross, either through interplay or on his own. Nowadays, he'd rather drift into the center of midfield, which is not too bad a thing, and would rather hit a long ball instead of playing the ball on the ground off his team mates. This is just one example of the many things I've notice thus far.

The quality of passes has also slackened a lot. Pass completion is quite bad. It also doesn't help that Nistelrooy falls like a feather each time he is "pushed" by a defender.

I know what I've laid out above may be like comparing apples and oranges, but this is just my own humble opinion of things.

I have been a fan of this club for a pretty long time and it's sad to see the present state of affairs. 2 losses in a row is not a good sign. Just hope that they can pick themselves up for the next match. No need to play entertaining football. Ugly football?...no problem....just play to win...start getting the points in the bag regularly...and then we can talk about entertaining.

I do believe that they will come back up again. Call me over-optimistic and idealistic...but hey, it's a club I love....so there's my reasoning.

On the lighter side of things, maybe Forlan should cut his hair or something. Maybe the 'drag' is preventing him from accelerating that much more pass the defenders. Maybe the shorter hair will change his luck for the better. Whatever it is, it will most definitely stop my mom from saying "Who's that GIRL??"

:laugh: :laugh: nice 1:laugh:

[cracker]

Agreed with wat one member said above...


It really puzzled nowaday why Giggs is not covering the left while Beckham seldom wanna run along the flank.

Looking at yesterday game....all the players were randomly taking the right flank...Neville,,,O' Shea..Chadwick.....as for the left either is the baboon,,,Forlan or even Ole whom IMHO,,,was the better player in the whole team...

Fergie is too accomodating to Beckham in allowing him to run the game from central,,in place of keane.
while giggs seemed to be more of a striker


Get back to basic and I am the results will start coming.



on the other hand,,it is still early in the season,,,and we still afford to lose 4 more games b4 the thing is over which will be very soon if they dun BUCK UP!

The team is not keeping their shape. Beckham should be on the right, yet he keeps drifting to the center and trying to lob the ball over the defence -> what is he doing?

Agree. I think ManU is guilty of crowding themselves out in the midfield. Last time when central midfield got the ball, all they need to do is to swing the ball to the right or left because they can be sure that Beckham or Giggs will be there, right now, when they got the ball got to look around to make sure they are there....:mad:

Ya but i remember the opposing teams then marked the flanks very tight so fergie had to give becks and giggs license to roam to center.The system now is to switch positions now and then when playing to lose their markers.That includes all the midfield players not just becks and giggs.

ya he did bought veron but that was last season.Should buy one this season.Not must be superstar just one that can be a sub in united's bench.:laugh:

I do believe that Man U has the potential, but they have yet to put that potential into practice. We still have a long way to go in the season, bot the EPL and CPL...so let's see what happens.

But after saying all this, I'll have to contradict myself. Due to the fact that I am a crazy Man U fan, I obviously believe that they will win the EPL, CPL and anything else that comes their way.

All rationality is thrown out the window as passion consumes me. And I believe you're suffering from the same illness too.

Just saw the highlight of the game via SCV....
didnt managed to see Ole's goal.

the goals scored by the israelis were defensive error esp the second,,,,the ball literally rolled thru the Utd defence for the striker to score.

As for Veron goal...luckily he managed to keep the ball down..else it would another of his trademark ballooning the ball.

definitely not a gud sign for Utd.

another pathetic performance from the devils..at least in the first 45 min !!!!1 fancy putting forlan as right winger..senile fergie still think tat Beckham is more effective in the central midfield......total disaster !!!
no threat in all their offensive....Charlton deserved the first half lead...they are more co-ordinated than the visitor.

Get forlan off the pitch for Christ sake !

Don't think Beckham can play in the center. Maybe in the past he can - when he was still wearing the no. 10 jersey... :rolleyes:

More flow in the game with Becham on the right and Giggs more on left ......

[EdwinTeoh]

This season, the way they have been playing, I'll be damn happy even if they finish 3rd behind Arsenal and Liverpool. And it would be a bonus if they do not get thrashed by Arsenal.

What a season... poor Man Utd form with Arsenal on great form.... sigh.

[kengbeng]

i'm wondering whether things might have been different if we have gotten Di Canio instead of Forlan, seeing how Di Canio performed over the weekend.

[trickle_on]

Watching the game against Charlton, it was pretty disappointing to see the workrate of especially one individual in particular....David Beckham.

In the second half when he was switched to his usual right midfield, he seemed more of a passenger. Towards the end of the game, he even stopped running much, just walking. I remember pointing out to my uncles watching with me that he was just strolling around.

Don't know whether it's his day off or what. He's still sticking to his fancy flicks and usual long balls that seem to go nowhere, on top of making it easier for the other teams to defend.

Giggs on the other hand, had a way better game. The man should be the stand in captain for Roy Keane. I think he wasn't given it because he is usually a more 'quieter' player. He workrate when compared to DB is phenomenal. Maybe Beckham's other commitments like his sponsorship deals, etc are taking a toll on him.

Haiz...on the bright side, at least Nistelrooy scored in open play in the EPL.

But still one question pertaining to SAF sanity lingers "Why in hell did Forlan start?"

Haiz...they say passion drives people to do crazy things....however in this case....I think SAF may have taken this too literally...

:rolleyes:

With that....I still feel Man U is going to win the EPL....as any true blue fan of the club will tell you.

:D

Just saw Veron's goal off uefa website. It was a chip just outside the penalty box with the Greek keeper rushing out. It was even better than the one he scored against Parma in the pre-season friendly....he also set up the 3rd goal for Giggs's second ..

Question is why cant he do the same on every Saturday afternoon ?

Question is why cant he do the same on every Saturday afternoon ?
i m sure he will b back...strong than ever

frankly, olympiakos is not tat good a team.

Hopefully the defence is strong enough for the toffees....they got quite speedy players. More importantly, Man Utd fire out at all cylinders and grab a couple of goals in the first half, as you know, Man Utd defence keyman (Blanc) cannot stand the full 90mins......

they puff and puff and miss and miss until the last 5 min,,,and bang bang there were 3 goals in the end...

Yes finally man u scores more than one goal at home this season in the premiership.Once again the away team mass defences..:sarcastic Though this shows how much respect the opposition gives to man u ,it does lead to a dull game and I don't think they give arsenal as much respect;) Man u are still the team to beat in the premiership.

more of hit and miss by MU !!! Everton would have scored goals if their strikers are more composed when inside the box. Things only start to happen when Ole was introduced and they revert to the 4-4-2, Beckham nice chip off a Ole's header was denied by the cross bar., Ruud's face summed up his face when his volley was intercepted by a everton defender. Barthez almost did another blunder when he dashed out..(when will he ever learn ?) But gud to see Gary Neville doing those overlap run again !!

So time to take a break till 19th OCt.

Manchester United's Roy Keane has been found guilty on two charges of bringing the game into disrepute and banned for five games by the FA.
Keane appeared before the Football Association at Bolton's Reebok Stadium on Tuesday following allegations made in his biography that he made a premeditated attempt to injure Manchester City star Alfie Haaland two seasons ago.
The midfielder was found guilty on both charges, the first of which related to the tackle on Haaland, which the three-man FA disciplinary panel confirmed had been "improperly motivated".
The second arose from Keane's decision to cash in on the tackle by detailing it in his recently released autobiography.
As a result, Keane, who is currently sidelined with a hip injury, has been banned for five games and also fined £150,000, although he does have the right of appeal.
An FA statement read: "Manchester United's Roy Keane has on Tuesday night been found guilty on both counts of misconduct by the FA.
"Keane will receive a five match suspension, commencing on November 4 and a £150,000 fine, both subject to appeal within 14 days."
Keane's ban will rule him out of the Worthington Cup third round clash with Leicester as well as the Manchester derby with City and the crunch encounter with bitter rivals Liverpool on 1 December.
The 31-year-old will return to domestic action against Arsenal the following weekend, but will be available for United's remaining Champions League group games for the duration of his ban.
Ghost-writer Eamon Dunphy and Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson were both believed to have spoken on Keane's behalf in a hearing which lasted almost seven hours.

draw wit fulham

[stam]

DRAW... lucky Arsenal lost

[cracker]

Utd was totally overrun by Fulham....There was totally no control in the midfield dept...It was similar with the game at Charlton. The home team was inevitable.

In the second half, it was better....I was surprised that Blanc recieved a yellow card for the penalty box offence...cos it was no card or a red card. Initially it seemed tat he shoved the player to ground,,watching the replay it was just a case of a body pushing with the smaller guy falling. The way Barthez walking ard remind me of Bruce The clown (the former liverpool keeper) who put on funny face and clowning between the post during the 1984 European Cup Final shootout with Roma in Rome..the result the Roma player either skied the penalty or it was saved.

Ole's goal was good....
Utd should have been given the penalty in the last min..clearly the hand of the Fulham player prevented the ball from reaching to Scholes.


Anyway it was a good game....and will Fergie pls get that arrogant Beckham back to the right flank for good. !!! He is useless in the central....even though he think he is more suited in tat role.

[hacktic]

aye. barthez was cool. but hahah wat to say. the comentator said he did the same trick withlampard or somebody? NONO not the di-canio FA issue. when was it?

I think there maybe alot of secrets behind the sale of Shevchenko.
1) The cost of player salaries is getting very high in AC milan....Rivaldo, Rui Costa, Inzaghi and etc...
2) For the past few seasons, AC Milan has not been getting results from Serie A and European Cups, prize money has greatly drop to a low.....
3) Lazio yet to clear the debts they still own Man Utd....
4) The financial strength of Italy Serie A is still not stable......
5) The current poor world economy may bring Italy Serie A more problems...
6) Off loading some superstars maybe the best option to keep the club alive.

Scratch that. Ferguson is making a sub and number 41 Kieran Richardson makes his first team debut as Veron's replacement.

[cracker]

Uncle Blanc is making a real joke out of Forlan...

He is among the leading scorer for jersey no 2 to 6 !!!

Forlan had a very good chance to get his first open goal,but flopped again...

Fergie tot tat 2 goals were enuff for him to relak beckham and giggs...and was probably choked when Olympiakos pulled back to 2-2. Scholes hit the post earlier on,,but did a delightful chip to secured the 3 points. With qualification already certain and almost certain to top the group unless Bayern Leverkusen can secure a big win at Old Trafford.

Rest of the games, he might allow Forlan a chance to roam abt again...

Manchester United's official website has confirmed what we've all thought for years - Old Trafford fans are absolutely obsessed with what goes on at Anfield.

For some unknown reason and despite the fact that the Premiership season is only 10 games old, ManUtd.com decided to launch a poll to find out if their fans could live with us winning the Premiership.

Rather unsurprisingly over 58% of those who voted insisted that they'd be "distraught" to see Liverpool lift the Premiership trophy in May even if United won the European Champions League.

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that," commented the Manchester United journalist.

Go get your facts right. Liverpool score more goals this season than Manu.

Manu this year is no where near as efficient as Liverpool nor as entertaining as Arsenal.

I hope Man Utd fans can change Veron's dreams into staying in Man Utd........
I am a great fan of Veron...his skills and visions are breathtaking and I think is simply the best....hopefully he will remain at Man Utd till he retires.

Man Utd's defence is pathetic.....the midfield dept is very hollow...though Veron seem to be best performer b4 Schole switched back to midfield.

Batigol going manU?




Gabriel Batistuta has taken his desire to play in England a step further by declaring he will be playing for a Premiership team next season.
The 33-year-old striker has experienced many highs during his time in Serie A with both Fiorentina and Roma.
But he now wants to "experience a different culture" and will be looking for English employers when the Serie A season comes to an end.
The Argentina hitman has been heavily linked with Middlesbrough this season, and with Manchester United and Chelsea in the past.
And Batistuta said: "When the season ends I will go to England. I want to broaden my horizons, speak a new language, meet new people, and experience a different culture.
"Physically I feel great and want to show what I can do in England."
Batigol believes he would relish the more attacking nature of English football, and also feels he would get more privacy than in Italy, where he says players have "no private life".
He added: "They play a more open game and rely less on tactics [in England].
"I have already spoken to [Juan Sebastian] Veron and he told me that you have more time to yourself.
"It's not like it is in Italy, where you are public property and have no private life."

He added: "They play a more open game and rely less on tactics [in England].
"I have already spoken to [Juan Sebastian] Veron and he told me that you have more time to yourself.
"It's not like it is in Italy, where you are public property and have no private life."

Batistuta knows how to speak English ah?? :confused:

He is starting to make his mark...hopefully there will be a goal flow for him and hopefully he can form a deadly strike force with RVN...We can only hope, he need more games to prove his value.....

Man Utd has been link with 2 brazilian players....teenage sensation Kaka and the ever reliable striker Jardel....... Man Utd have made an approach for Jardel and the Brazil new teenage sensation is under scouting..........they are the target for the January, when transfer window opens..........Looks like Man Utd means business bringing in the fourth striker to bring back more trophies home to Old Trafford.

[trax06]

I like that teenage sensation KaKa from Sau Paulo,i think.
He's very promising,ManU shuld really try to get that kid.
No Jardel pls he's gettin old.

Kaka got loads of potientials, I think he is promising but he lack of the experience in the europe.....but what Man Utd needs now is goals......Jardel is very capable in getting them both in the air and ground....In EPL, strikers must be either fast or strong to fend off defenders, to score goals. Jardel falls into the catergory of strong and powerful, plus he got lots of experience in europe, should be able to bring Man Utd goals.

Man Utd faces old time rivals Man City at Maine Road......
Up for Man Utd:bounce:

[kengbeng]

Yet another disappointing loss. I've got nothing more to say. Period.

[hush66]

Sigh! I fully agree with Fergie:

"Taken from Soccernet:
But angry United manager Sir Alex Ferguson blasted his players, saying: 'They have had a major rollicking - and quite right too.

'I feel for the supporters at the moment... I wonder at times like this whether I should let the fans in the dressing room so they can let the players know how they feel.

'The players know how disappointed I am. We have prepared hard for this game, but they have let us down. It was a kick in the teeth.

'We will be addressing all this on the training ground. I am not happy and neither are my staff. Neither should they be.'

[tranze]

sigh
looks like the injuries have too much efect on the players
next season then....

sigh

GLORY UNITED!!!

[stam]

:(

[hacktic]

City was far MORE hungry

[Devilboy]

Looks like it is time to discipline the players........I was wondering what was RVN doing...the whole match he is falling down, crashing onto defenders and produce no threats in front of goals.......Throughout the game, only Solksjear is providing the compeitive edge........Barthez was good in front of the goalpost but.................
Neville brothers really have to think over and over again about their mistakes that results to the first two goals......................
Time for Blanc to go........he is just too slow againist the 2 pacy strike force (Anelka and Goater)........
On the whole.....they sucks in this match...but luckily....Liverpool register their first lost of the season but Chealsea and Everton victories have moved them above Man Utd......
Man Utd is still within the race but they better start producing goals.....

[Devilboy]

Man Utd really need a new striker to bring in more goals.............the strike force is not as threatening as the Yorke and Cole pair.......

[hacktic]

yorke and cole r history. 99 was the last they saw the best of the pair.

[cracker]

I think Blanc did better than Rio in today match !!!!..Recalled how he managed to halt Anelka run w/o giving away a free kick ? I tot Rio's arrival was to stabilise the defender,,,but seemed like it is still in a big mess...O'Shea and Blanc combination was much better....

Last year.,,,MU could score but cant defend,,this year neither can they score or defend !!!...Phil Neville is such a pain to watch...as for Gary..another pathetic sight....time for Fergie to give other younger players a try !!!!...Yesterday only Giggs,,,Scholes, blanc and Ole Ole were playing football !!!..with Ole the best coveriing for the midfield and defender. As for "cant stop scoring LAst Season" Ruud....this season seemed to be "cant stop falling at the slight contact" remind me of Jurgen Klinnsman.

No wonder Fergie fielded almost a full strength team against Leicester and still struggled for a 2-0 win,,,seemed like the "worthless cup" is the only possible target this year.

Hope Keane can make an earlier comeback.

[ralliart_ray]

hopefully they will win soon
