Saw one of the misses of the season tonight, from Brighton's Dean Hammond. Put it wide from about 4 yards out. Our finishing wasn't much better unfortunately

yeah, he got rushed to hospital and was in an isolation ward, its not life threatening but its pretty serious apparently but he's stable now so we'll just have to see how long it takes.
I think he's improved since he left you, he's been one of our best players. He's frustrating sometimes when he tries to take on too many people when its easier to pass but when he really turns it on he's absolutly immense and he takes the piss

By the way, I was at Old Trafford last night sitting amongst the "united fans" and not the tourist prawn sandwitch lot who are meant to go on Saturdays. After the game, all I heard was "the crowd was great" and "they sang Ferguson's name" and the rest. Bullshit. Only Arsenal are quieter. It's like chairs dressed as people. Aside from the odd "United!" chant now and again, silence. They never once sung Ferguson's name either.
As for talk about the team. They seem to forget we have one of what would normally be our back four. They also speak out their arses. For a start, they don't like Darren Fletcher yet all he does is run his heart out trying but they love Paul Scholes who, in my opinion, is way past his best and hasn't won a tackle in 3 years. If Scholes gets tackled and then goes to get the ball back... guaranteed foul. Talk about 4-4-2 and 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 formations is shite. We are Manchester FUCKING United. If we can't put out 11 players who can play in any formation like class players then they don't deserve to be playing. Simple as that. Right now, defence is shite and the midfield ain't much better. Neither can win a freaking tackle. Yeah we got a result but Chelsea or any top European team would have smashed us last night. Until we get the players (and we need at least 2 more and Ballack or Gattuso would be beyond awesome), we ain't winning shit. |

Which stand were you in, The one near the away fans is dismal for atmosphere, so are the north and south stands. The Stretford end probably isn't much better but you can't really hear them from the away fans position.
But yeah Fergie should really be able to put out a good formation. |

Fucking hell lads. If I was Jose I'd fucking tell them to play it down our right hand side, Traore is fucking hopeless. We need to be looking at taking off Essien too, I think he has been class, but we need two up front, Hyppia and Carragher have it too easy right now.
We'll fucking win this, just Jose better know what he is doing, 55-60 minutes and sort it out Jose, get Joey Cole on for the last 15-20 too, and Wright-Phillips, their full backs aren't good enough, we should be annhilating them down the flanks. COME ON LADS. |

Formation isn't a problem. We have done in off and on for years and nobody noticed. Maybe we lost to Blackburn because our defence and midfield can't tackle to save their lives. I'd give my left nut to have Quinton Fortune back now, nevermind the regulars! |

When we played you the East Stand Lower tried to sing, they didn't do a good job tbh and by half time they didn't sing again I don't think.
I think your first eleven is as good as anyones, when Keane and Scholesy are playing well that is. But to be fair I don't rate Silvestre, I reckon Brown should play more then him, and I don#t rate Neville. Van Der Sar Neville Ferdinand Brown Heinze Ronaldo Keane Scholes Giggs (or Park) Rooney Van Nistelrooy Thats what I'd play if everyone was fit and in form. I reckon you just need a new centre back in the summer, and Smith needs to learn to play in midfield. I don't buy this whole players can't adjust to a different position, Gudjohnsen played better in midfield then up front for us. if you play a 4-5-1 then at least play Smithy in the middle of the park so he can learn off Keane and Scholes. |

I think our only real problem is creativity. We're missing a lot in midfield but the thing that's really apparently to me is that we never get any dangerous balls played in. Every goal I seem to remember thus far this season is either Ruud catching onto a rebound or someone else taking a screamer from out of nowhere. We got like 3 shots on target a match if we're lucky, and none of them look like bonafide chances to me.

What I've also said is - I'm gutted Roy Keane couldn't convince Fletcher to opt for Ireland. Fletcher is a ready-made replacement for him.

Heard about Paddy Power paying out on Chelsea, the mentalists. I saw about an hour of the Bolton game (or just past whenever Plovdiv scored) then fell asleep and that's not a dig about boring football or anything, i was just knackered How did you think Walks did? I saw he flapped at and nearly conceded from a corner, which reminded me of a few occasions, but little chance with the goal.

He pulled off a greate save about five minutes from the end, apart from that he was okay, must be something about Bolton, Fred Barber(our goal keeping coach) and corners because Jussi flaps on corners, does he stay does he go, and i saw a few of the same things from walker overall, he's a decent back up much better then poole , also like you said lil chance with the goal, was no ones fault but our own for sitting back, not happy with the performence just happy were through

is he fuck class. The best i've seen of him can only be described as decent. John O Shea was class as a youth too, and now he adds fuck all to the team. Liam Miller was probably a future star too a few seasons ago, now he's failing to impress in the reserves.

Contrast that to Cristiano Ronaldo, who you cream over, who is inconsistent, wasteful and generally has fuck all end-product for all the flashy build-up. Aside from a run of goals towards the end of last season, his general contribution to Manchester United's play is to sky the ball over the bar, gift possession to the opposition or put in a shite cross. Still think he'll be a great player, but I'd rather have a player who's going to help the team win games on a regular basis. Strangely, Ronaldo seems to play an awful lot better for Portugal, who incidentally can make that 4-3-2-1 formation work. Liam Miller wasn't really a future star a few years ago. He suffered badly from injuries in his early years and didn't get a chance until a loan spell in Norway, then he came back and played some great football in the Champions League. |

Sam Allardyce wants to keep himself in the frame for when the England job is available - with the Bolton boss insisting it is a "myth" that foreign managers are better.
Allardyce has forged a superb reputation at the Reebok Stadium by taking his club into Europe, and he has been linked with the national job when Sven-Goran Eriksson eventually stands down. "If people consider me for it, yes, I would be very interested indeed," he told FourFourTwo magazine. "I'd love to be interviewed, but I have to keep doing well to get in the frame." He added: "When Roy Hodgson started at Blackburn he was held up as an Englishman who'd learned all the better stuff abroad and should manage the national team. "Eighteen months later he was sacked and never heard of again. It's a myth, anyway, that foreign managers are better. "We've created this image that they do it much better than us but we're on a par - in some cases we do things better." Eriksson was criticised for changing his formation for the defeat to Northern Ireland recently, but Allardyce defended David Beckham's new role in central midfield. "He was excellent in that role," Allardyce said. "Beckham wasn't anything but a success. The amount of ball he had was huge. The problem was the ones he was passing to." -------- For the love of God someone shut this man up. |

Birmingham's Emile Heskey could make an England return against Austria at Old Trafford next Saturday. (Telegraph)
GET IN Darren Bent should start after his performances, but Bruno deserves a place in the squad. Conceded a late equaliser against Derby, hadn't done that in a while. |
