Sigh~~~ Another very very average performance by our stars... Our players just couldnt pick themselves up in order to perform a good game~~~ Strange!!! =.=" And onli God knows how Vidic got sent off with tht 'high' tackle whereas their Captain intentionally handed the ball in the area got away with just a yellow~~~ =.=" Referee BOLEH~~~

It needs 2 penalties from Rooney to get us our 1st 3 points in ECL... Our general play hv been pretty boring and slow~~~ But greatful tht we r able to keep a clean sheet~~~ Hahaha... Why Valencia looked really 1 dimensional lately?! Cant even beat his marker on the right~~~ And it took away our wing threat a lot~~~ And our passing in the final 3rd hv been a disappointed 1~~~ Movement were sucks and few n far in btw~~~ =.="

The onli great thing is the 3 points~~~ Hahaha...

Get a full rest, then bring on ManSHitty on the weekend~~~ We wanna kick their ass~~~ ^O^ ^O^ ^O^

==============================================================================

Gti,

Too bad, we didnt get to see Cleverley on yest match~~~ So... Dun think he will b put straight on for the Shitty game... =.=" Sigh~~~

Other than tht, we r linked to a Croatia young player maker~~~ Errr... I hvnt heard of him b4 too~~~ Hahaha... So, how much SAF needs him?! Dun forget tht we hv got P. Pogba, Tunicliffs, Morrison n etc~~~

We r playing ManShitty this coming Sunday in a big derby match!!! We hv got to toughen up and win this game... Its very important psycologically to beat them at Old Toilet and this is a big 3 points for us too... Currently, they r good form... And i really do expect them to pack the midfield in order to hold out for a point... Just like what SAF did at Anfield~~~ =.="

I'm not too sure what kinda formation SAF will deploy for this game... Will he b brave enough to field 2 strikers upfront n play our normal game?! I hope we get to see both Young n Nani on the flanks, so tht we will b able to stretch them on the wings~~~ Then the central midfield pairing will b a big headache for SAF at the moment, as there r no really outstanding performer(s) yet for us... Hope SAF pick his best option... I believe Fletcher will b 1 of them... So, will Cleverley b picked as well as we hope?! Hahaha...

I wish to see SAF pair Rooney with either Chicharito or Welbeck upfront... We can pin their defenders back... We r playing at our home ground, so we shld b doing the attacking smartly!!!

As for the defensive roles... I go for Evra, Vidic, Rio and Smalling infront of DDG!!! Hopefully starting from this game, our defensive play will b very assured and solid!!!

Very important tht we will b able to mark D. Silva out of the game, as he is their best player in my opinion!!! He is a very quick thinking player n his movement r always 1 of the best... Then it will b hard for us to break them down from the center if the pairing of De Jong n Yaya Toure r to b expected... We needs our wingers to b at 110% sharp, so can we can constantly threaten them from there... If we r able to re-perform the Charity Sheild game plan with good 1-2 passing, we stand a great chance to win this game!!!

Err... I always go for a Home win for the Red Devils... So a 1-0 win or 2-0 win for us!!! ^O^ ^O^ ^O^

Its something really special, unusual and extremely embarrassing experience for me as a ManUtd fan for 20+ years~~~ The heaviest defeat at our very own Old Toilet!!!! =.=" The Blue half of Manchester really dumped their Shits in our toilet n messed it up badly~~~ But Bravo to them for playing a very well organised game n throughout the 90mins, they were calm n solid as a unit!!! My MoTM is definitely D. Silva~~~ By miles!!!! 1 of the biggest mistake by SAF for failing to get him in when he was made available by Valencia... Another Ronaldinho case~~~ =.="

We shldnt hv too many complaints abt this heavy defeat as we all really saw this coming for weeks... We were badly organised at the back... Midfielders were being exploited... Supplies to attackers r getting few n limited... Our play became very predictable... again!!! After a great start to the season, all things going back to the same old style!!!!

Out of the 6 goals we conceded, how many of them were coming from our left side?! And most importantly where the hai is Evra?! Our captain?! Sigh!!! Pure disappointment!!! Evans is another 1 who shld b blamed too... I think he is mainly responsible for the 1st goal we conceded due to his lousy marking... And for his sending off, what can he say abt it anymore?! It was clearly his fault n his inferiority tht caused it...

Our midfield really hving big problem in games such as this... We were easily being exploited at the back where midfielders hardly provide any kind of protection to the back 4... Disappointing!!! And while doing attack, we shld hv more try on goal rather than attacking through wings although its 1 of our strongest assest...

Rooney looked very quite yest too... What's went wrong with him?! He is unhappy again?! Even Rio look very shaky n made many mistakes yest...

1 thing i found it very very STRANGE!!! Its the look of our SAF, even way b4 the start of the game!!! During the pre-match interview, his face look stony!!! Straight away i felt something not right!!! I means compare to the pre-match interview against Chelshit, SAF were very relaxing n smiling all the way throughout it... Hmmm... Something fishy hey?! Did anyone realised this as well?!

Ok... a lost is a lost!!! Bravo to ManShitty again!!! Now we hv got lots of works to do in order to put our very own title challenge back on track... I guess after this defeat, few players might hv got d special 'hair-dryer' treatment by SAF... I really expect SAF to drop players like Evans, Evra, Anderson n Rio for a while...

Looking for a positive reaction by the players the next time we see them play... Once a Red Devil, always a Red Devil~~~ ^.^

I think we are not the only 2 supporters who realised that goals are leaking in from the left.
Mostly from the left.
I think it's a case of complacency. If we look at it, LB is the only position that we do not have ample cover. The Da Silvas simply wasn't ready physically yet. So i uspposed Evra is taking things for granted.

It was a bad experience but it could be a blessing in disguise.
We;ve experienced this kinda things before as well though it's rare.
Remember 0-5 Newcastle; 0-5 Chelsea; 1-4 Liverfool and also those losses to Barca.
These are all painful losses where we just simply did not turn up.
the signs had been there but we managed to dig ourselves outta the grave everytime.
We flattered to deceive.
Whilst the experience sux, that is not to say we are a bad team. Far from that.
But this kinda beating, hopefully will put some players into perspective.
Some of them are simply not Man Utd material and they can't always hide behind their better teammates.

Players like Evans, Fletcher, Anderson, Evra and even Ferdinand. They all had their glimpses of brilliance here and there and every now and then (except for Evans, who like Gibson had been consistently atrocious) but they simply had not been performing at the level expected of them on a consistent basis.
Fletcher was a good DM and that's about it. We can't expect him to be a playmaker. We wasn't that type of material. And coming back from a virus doesn;t help his cause.
Anderson, like i said time and again, had been blowing hot and cold. And he simply doesn;'t run enough. Im afraid he could turn out to be another Veron. Just like Carrick and Gibson, the trio have a very bad tendency to just jog around the pitch, very much unlike Cleverley who have another change in gear when it comes to pace.

Let's just hope we will take a step back and make two steps forward and hope that the Cleverly promise was for real.

I would say it was a disappointing game. Is sad but however is time that someone give Man United
a good hard kick as wake up call. The way they play is not as good as the start of the season. Just
hope cleverly will be back to play soon. He is indeed a good player.

It was a blow once ManU reaches 10 men, the defense was totally broken and tore apart...

Well, time to move on and play like Manchester United throughout all the coming games.

Yup, i guess its a very very good wake up call for the team & Sir Alex! The team have been poor lately and Alex's weird team selection doesnt help either. We badly need somebody to run the show in the middle of the park, someone like Modric/Silva/Fabregas to spread the ball and make the run. I thought Anderson were good when paired with Cleverly in previous games but without Cleverly he looks lost. Ferdinand has lost it, not just his footballing brains but worst is, his winning attitude/mentality towards football. He looks as if he couldnt be bothered about the game anymore! Sell him and Evans and get Cahill to fight for that CB positions with Vidic/Smalling/Jones. We need another RB cos Smalling & Jones is not a natural RB, Period. RB should be one who can defense AND attack, not just either one. January transfer window is just arount the corner and I hope Sir Alex will bring a playmaker to help the team. Anyway, luckily its not a cup final or somethin, just a 3 point lost. Its a marathon not a sprint!

Great tht all r still very spirited after the heaviest defeat at Old Toilet~~~ We lost a Battle, but not the WAR~~~ And i believe the players will pick themselves up soonest possible... We hv got a LC game tonite, then we will b away to Everton!!! From our cerent experience, Goodison Park isnt an easy place to play... So, there is no time for the players to think too much abt the defeat~~~ Especially after such trashing, d media will pay extra attention to us no matter what the outcome is~~~

Its really really strange tht our early season superb form just disappear without any trace!!! I was asking myself: "Was it d training method having problem?! Or players reluctant to follow what was being told?! Why suddenly all our short passing game r gone?!"

I believe SAF will play few youngsters in the LC game tonite... Hopefully we will b able to see P. Pogba n Cleverley in the middle... Time to bring back Cleverley!!! I think both Owen n Berba need games too... Then at the back Fryers n Vida will lead d line for me... Lindergaad wil b in btw d post!!!

Take this game seriously, win it n get us through to the next round!!! Everybody needs a lift in the club~~~ Play it the ManUtd way!!!

===========================================================================

Wah lan~~~ Purposely registered a new name to post here?! Hmm... I think ManUtd been hurting u so much in the past ya?! Hahaha... Enjoy it while u can... Its a rare result for u!!! ^.^ But agreed with u, we deserved to loss the game to a better organised Shitty!!! No doubt abt it!!! But we will beat them back ourselves in the future~~~ We do not needs other to do so for us, in order to make us happy like u!!!! ^o^ We know it wouldnt b easy, but we r not afraid of the challenge!!!

We will see, who laugh the loudest come next MAY~~~ ^.^

LoL. Pathetic~~~~Didnt know that ManUtd hurt u so bad... U must b having nightmares all d time whenever u heard the name of ManUtd!!! Hahaha... Throw away your lousy useless red jersey, and quickily go buy a dozen of ManShitty blue shirt!!! Hahaha... Time for u to change club in order to have a slightest chances of tasting 'glory'!!!! Dun worry, no one will blame u for doing that~~~hahahaha... It's d smartest move u'll ever made as u dun wanna to wait another 21years!!!

===================================================================

Back to this morning LC game, it's great to see us go through to the next round!!! There will b another chance for our young players to gain experiences then. To me, Berba is d MoTM! He showed his hunger for the game, been everywhere on d pitch, and scored a good goal too. Nice to see that~~~

Bravo to Owen for getting onto the scoresheet as well... Worked hard, moving ard to makenhimself available ally n took his chance well too... Valencia been surprisingly quiet... Been waiting long to see him back to him best since he broke his leg...

Vida too, still look a bit rusty... Might need few more games under his belt before he can hit his form... as for Fabio, every time I saw him play, he always made d same mistakes - lost possession easily, wrong decision making n reckless challenge on opponents~~~ Worrying sign as there were no improvement from him for a long period!!!

Pogba did pretty ok... Nice to see that!!!

Well done to d team... Have a rest now, we will b travelling to Everton come this Sat!!!

So we r away to Everton this coming Sat for an early game at our local time 7pm~~~ This is another tough match for us, especially what had happened at Old Toilet last week~~~ Media will b ready to reports no matter what happen to us in this game against Everton... So to all players tht will b selected, u guys do hv a great responsibility to carry our club name!!!!

Will SAF play it cautiously with 5 across the midfield or will he go all out to get the result we badly needed?! This is the 1st Q spring to my mind!!! Everton hv never been an easy place to get any result for us recently... We hv dropped points here...

As a fan, i hope SAF go for the 4-4-2!!! Play Rooney with Chicharito upfront... Then it hv got to b Cleverley in the middle... Reports saying SAF will drop Rio, Evra, Anderson n Fletcher for a while... So, who will b Cleverley partner will b anyone guess now~~~ Carrick?! Hmm... Most properly... I think SAF will start Park too... Mayb on the left by dropping Young too... And Nani will resume on the right for me...

As for the back 4, it will b Fabio, Jones, Vida n Smalling for me... Not much choices if u considering d players tht gonna b left out... DDG will start btw the posts again!!!

Everton is a very hard working team... So if we r to win any points from there, all our players will have to fight 110% for it!!! Beware of Saha n Cahill, they will b their main threat!!! In the middle, If Cleverley n Carrick to b picked, they hv to work very hard to stop Everton supplying balls to the mentioned 2... Then when we attack, we needs to do it in pace to catch them out...

Expecting a tough game... SO i dun mind us winning 0-1 away!!! ^.^

Really glad tht ManUtd came through another tough match with 3 points in the bag!!! Although its not pretty to watch as we were under a lot of pressure in tht game, we played as an unit n win the 3 points away to Everton!!!

It was a great goal by Chicharito!!! He was there at the right time with the right touch to send the good cross from Evra into the back of the net!!! In the game where chances were few n far away, we really needs to b clinical infront of goal!!! And tht's just what happened to us!!!

I think our midfield still look very 'thin', especially after Cleverley made his early exit!!! We were being put under lots of pressure from Everton and it was really a nail-bating ending for the game... Fletcher still hvnt hit his form yet, Park were too soft n always got nudged away from possession, Nani didnt do much as well as Valencia... Rooney worked hard but mainly on defensive duty~~~

I think we were lucky tht Tim Cahill didnt play, as he is a very determine player for Everton... I was very SHOCKED tht SAF still picked Evans for this game!!! Although he did put in efforts to do his best in the game, moment of heart-attacks still there to b seen whenever he plays~~~ =.=" But comes to think of our choices available, i understand why Evans was on as we do not hv other options!!! Not sure if I'm being too harsh, Evans shld b limited to domestic cup games... Just do not trust him in those important matches tht we r in anymore... At least for some time... Its like a time bomb waiting to b exploded~~~ There were still many mistakes by him, his positioning, his timing n his decision making~~~

Glad tht Vida make a successful league game come back... We needs the stability!!! SAF shld start to build up our defence ard Vida again... B it with Rio, Jones or Smalling...

We will b playing against Otelul Galati at Old Toilet this coming mid-week... Time to b ruthless again at Old Toilet... Hopefully we will b able to win the game nicely in order to continue building up our confidence again in a proper way~~~

==============================================================================

Besides, i watched few other good games over the weekend too~~~ Chelshit v Assenal, Inter v Juve, Roma v Milan n etc~~~ I was so surprised by Assenal achievement with their win over Chelshit!!! Perhaps, it was a thrashing for the Blues at this bridge too~~~ Hahaha... It was a very good attacking game by both sides n Assenal seems to b getting their confidence right back on track now... Just my opinion... With Djourou on, it was surprised tht Chelshit cant exposed him n still losing the game on such a margin with 11 on the field~~~ =.=" I think AVB will hv lots to do in the coming weeks and there might b 'panic' buying in the coming January for them~~~ ^.^ This result i think is worst than ours against ManShitty!!! At least everyone knew Shitty is getting stronger n we were down to 10 men... Hahaha... What a consolation~~~ XD

SAF said he will not make more than 3 changes to the line up he had at Everton against O. Galati at Old Toilet this Wed... This is a must win game!!! Hmm... With Vidic suspended, i think Rio will b put into action again... Mayb against my wish, partnering Evans again!!! =.=" Jones will b staying on the right back position until either Rafael or Smalling made their fully come back... Not much options for us at the moment in our defence... Perhaps Fabio might b given a game too... But i doubt he will start...

It might sound risky with Evans in but hopefully our midfielders will do their job well by protecting them... Expect Nani to start on d right n Park on d left... With Cleverley out, Anderson or Carrick may partner Fletcher in d middle... Upfront it will b Rooney n Chicharito again... Not sure if Carrick is out injured or not... Hvnt heard of him long as didnt even see him on d bench for 2-3 matches...

I think we shld hv enough strength to see of O. Galati at home... Just cut down the mistakes n play as a unit... Do the right things simple and the goals will come for us...

============================================================================

The season is getting very interesting now... With the thrashing over us, Shitty is getting more n more spotlights now... It will b good to see how Mancini handle his team in all the competition they r in... They certainly hv got a very strong lineup, but when ECL, FA Cup n L. Cup games coming in, Mancini will hv many big decisions to make... It will not b easy... Pressure will b building up for them if they loses 2-3 games or players getting injured... We will b there to take advantages if this happen... Now i see D. Silva n Kun Aguero as their main players... Without the 2, they play differently...

As for the Gunners, it was a great win for them over Chelshit... But frankly, their defensive problem still yet to b solved!!! And we all knew, they still lack the strength in depth for all competition... Again, it will b interesting to see how AW utilises his limited resources for all d games tht r piling up for them, especially comes December~~~ Can RVP play all 60+ game without getting injure?! How well will their defence do in ECL n EPL?! Nice to know... ^.^

A HUGE Congratulation to Sir Alex Ferguson for the 25th anniversary of managing ManChester United Football Club~~~

:party: :party: :party:

It will b a HUGE week for SAF himself n all the ppl involve with the club tht its d Master's 25th anni... And fittingly, we r playing 2 games at Old Toilet this week to mark the great day!!! So, players tht r being pick for these 2 games must do their 110% BEST to ensure we win both games~~~

SAF will b 70 this Dec... And its always amazing tht he still hv the same amount of spirits n enthusiasm towards his job!!! Bravo to him~~~ Hopefully he will b able to bring us at least another ECL b4 he decide to retire!!! ^.^ The standard of football today, is getting higher n tougher, so its a very high target for SAF to achieve!!! But in SAF we trust!!!

=============================================================================

Nothing much to write abt the game tonite... We needs the 3 points badly to progress, so players pls do your job well n professionally!!!

Great result but not a good game to watch in the morning!!! =.=" Very boring game and our players made way too many mistakes against O. Galati team!!! A bit disappointed with the performance!!!

Yes, Rooney played pretty well in tht central midfield role where most of our move started from him where his vision of the game is getting better~~~ But too bad, his midfield partner - Anderson wasnt able to provide him a better support!!! Anderson's passing is getting worst, i think... A lot of stray passes which ended up with us losing possession n hv to chase the ball back... Bad!!! Other than tht, i think he is lazy in the middle where he walk more than running ard providing support to his mates or giving much needed protection to the defence...

Then Nani was another player playing way below par~~~ His confident seems to b very low where he was slow to react, hardly able to get pass his marker n losing possession way too easily as well... =.=" As for Velancia, still not back to his best yet... Very 1 dimensional, hardly cut into the middle for support n his crosses were mainly very disappointing!!!

With 3 out of 4 of our midfielders dreaming in the game, we hardly produce any good clear cut chances to score... But credit to O. Galati players... They r all very hard working players where they run a lot to close down the spaces n keep pressing for ball when we were on possession!!! Bravo to them... Besides, they made things tight at the back n didnt allow us too much space n time to have any good shots...

Overall, i'm a worried man with the way our midfielders r performing!!! I cant imagine how we will fare when we face a tougher n more experience team in Europe!!! We r definitely NOT GOOD ENOUGH at the moment!!!

I think i kinda understand why SAF try to play Rooney in tht creative midfield role, as we really lack inspiration in our play to open up opponents... But Rooney needs a very complete player as a partner in order for Rooney to blossom in tht role... And tht player definitely not Anderson at the moment~~~ =.=" Else, we really look light weight in tht department!!! Perhaps we need new blood(s)?! Someone like Bastian Scwhiez of B. Mucnich~~~ Alternatively, we hv to play the 5 men midfield to provide more protection...

What u guyz think?!

We will have a get-together or reunion party at Old Toilet tmr nite when Sunderland come visit us~~~ Hahaha... We gonna welcome back few of our ex-players to Old Toilet... Brucie the manager, W. Brown, Sheasy, P. Barsley, Richardson n etc~~~ Hopefully they r not back to haunt us!!! LOLzzzzzzzz...

Its a must win game for us as we needs the 3 points in order to pile some pressure on Shitty~~~ Then lets not forget tht its SAF 25th anniversary at the helm too!!! So, we cant afford to let any slip up affecting us this weekend...

With Vida able to play, hopefully it will b Rio partnering him!!! No more Evans!!! Hopefully his suspension of 3 matches start tmr!!! I really hate him saying :We will learn from the 1-6 defeat!!! Cibai~~~ What do he means "We"?! Clearly it was him tht f*cking spark tht defeat with his stupiest sent-off!!! *&^%^&#$&$&#& We were trying to make a come back after half time teamtalk... Diu kao him~~~

Other than tht, i hope to see Rooney being push back upwards to a more attacking role... I guess Fletcher will b called back into the midfield... Would love to see Welbeck in attack against Sunderland... It would b nice if he can score 1 or 2 goals in the game... Hahaha...

Overall Sunderland form have been very inconsistent... I was tipping them to b 1 of the top 10 team comfortably... But so far tht hasnt happen... Expecting them to put 5 across the middle to crowd the area out... So we must play smartly n work real hard to open them up... It would b good if we can score a few goals to cap a great week for the club and SAF!!!

Wishing for a 4-0 victory!!! ^.^

=============================================================================

Would love to talk abt Rooney midfield role a bit... Yeah, he did well there for us for few occasion this season when call upon... But i really doubt it if he will b putting into tht role more often this season without us buying new players to 'replace' Rooney role upfront or behind the striker~~~ Of cos, everyone of us is dreaming to see Rooney being transform into another Scholesy by playing deeper in tht creative role... Just like how SAF switched Scholesy into it from a striker...

But all this have got to b done with a proper plan... Are we strongest when playing 4-4-2 or 5 across the middle?! We shld hv planned it earlier when the transfer window was still open... I really think some of our players time are up with us... Time to move on n bring in some new bloods... B it from our own system or buying them from other club... I think many of us realised tht midfield area is our weakest point for a season or 2 now...

By switching Rooney into tht area might 'weaken' our attack as Rooney been great in tht supporting role behind Chicharito, Welbeck or Berba... I expect our coaches to know all this long ago... So why there aint any back up plan?! Or why we didnt bring in the players we badly needed?!

Against Shitty, even in the 1st half... We were dominating possession no doubt... But we failed to open things up n create any real chances even with Rooney dropping deep... Something to think abt... Against stronger team, even with Rooney in midfield, will he b able to do what we expecting him of?! Or is he better stay upfront n instead we get a proper attacking midfielder for our team for the role?!

In the summer, Sneijder, Modric, Nasri n Bastian Schwiezi were few of the names everyone was hoping us to buy... But we ended up getting another winger for our midfield... None of our Andon, Fletcher, Carrick, Park, Giggsy n Gibbo r able to do what the mentioned 4 names might offer~~~ Hmm... Something for the coaches to think abt...

English Premier League
Man Utd vs Sunderland

Observations

For me, this looks to be the most straightforward game this weekend... which may very well mean, based on experience, the most unpredictable! Manchester United look to have recovered from their 1-6 pummeling at the hands of Manchester City, with them having won their last 3 games. However, one must remember these wins came against questionable oppositions - Aldershot and Otelul Galati in particular. United should face sterner opposition today as Steve Bruce prepares his team to face his former side. Bruce's Sunderland are just 4 points above the relegation and on the road they have won just 1 from 5 in the League. They did win their last away game in the League, 2-0 against Bolton, but Bolton have lost all 5 home games this season, so I would not really shout about that. Arsenal and Norwich both managed a 2-1 winning scoreline against Sunderland, but a similar scoreline today would not please Manchester United backers on the handicap today. United will celebrate Sir Alex Ferguson's 25th year in charge of the Red Devils, so players and fans alike will be motivated. United come into this one without Michael Owen, Ashley Young, Ryan Giggs, Chris Smalling and Tom Cleverley, but Rio Ferdinand could keep his place in central defence. Wayne Rooney played in midfield against Otelul Galati, but for this one, he should be restored to his normal role upfront, partnering Javier Hernandez. For Sunderland, Kieran Richardson and Wes Brown, like Steve Bruce, will face their former club. Simon Mignolet and John O'Shea are out, but Lee Cattermole could return if David Vaughan is not passed fit. Alright, I said this was a straightforward game right from the very beginning and I am sticking by that. So, how straightforward? Well, I feel United will take this one very easily. Why? Steve Bruce have been in charge of 3 difference clubs coming up against United, a total of 16 games against United in total. His sides have lost 12 and drew 4, with a grand total of zero victory! Furthermore, Sunderland have not beaten United since 1968. The last time these sides met, Untied ran out 2-0 winners at home with a goal from Dimitar Berbatov and an own goal from Anton Ferdinand. Sunderland have also not scored against United in the last 3 times these sides met. So yes, I do think United will win, and I do think they will win easy. Home side for us!

It was another big 3 points for us n the game was.... ZZZzzzzzzzzz~~~~

Ooooppppssss!!! Sorry, i fall asleep!!!! =.="

To b frank, it was a damn boring game to watch!!! =.=" Pace were slow, movement were bad, spirits not there n our creativity just dieing off~~~ Other than its SAF 25th anni celebration, there were nothing else to shout abt!!! Hmmm... The onli consolation i can think of is mayb for the day, bets were definitely 1 sided especially its a big day for SAF!!! But which game at Old Toilet didnt d bets go 1 sided?! =.="

Running out of words to said abt our game... We really need to sort out our midfield!!! Now we can clearly see, Rooney in midfield not the BEST long term solution to us... Aiiii~~~

=============================================================================

1 great newz for us is tht ManUtd hv signed a future star!!!

Ok... 1 interesting topic to talk or to share... Of SAF 25th anni of managing ManUtd, there r many version of SAF BEST XI from many football pundits, editors n expert... Even SAF did came up with his own Best XI...

Out of the XI players, 5 of them being picked most from the articles or new papers tht i hv read... And i do agreed with them, 5 of this players r the BEST in their position for the 25 years SAF hv managed!!! They r Peter Schmeichel, and 4 of the midfielders - Giggsy, Keano, Scholesy n Ronaldo!!! The Big Dane definitely 1 of the BEST in SAF time... Fast, brave, agile n a leader for the team... Then what can u say abt Giggsy - Keano - Scholesy - Ronaldo?! In this line up, our midfield look very balance in terms of going forward n protecting our defences... We have pace on the wings, creativeness in the middle, solidity n commanding in Keano~~~ Love it~~~

As in defence, names like Stam, Vidic, Pallister, Bruce n Ferdinand were all mentioned in various BEST XI by the pundits n experts... Irwin on d left n G. Neville on the right seems like another popular choices for most... For me, i would love to see the partnership of Stam n Vidic in the middle of our defence... So tht we will hv steel, solidity, pace n areal dominance there~~~

In attack, Eric Cantona, Rooney, RVN, Yorke, Cole, Solskjear n Hughes were the names came up most... But how to choose the best 2?! But in today's modern footballing world, i guess choosing Rooney with RVN will b d most logical choice as when we were being attack, Rooney can always drop deeper as what he is doing now... The RVN will b d ultimate box striker for us where his goal scoring ratio tells it all...

Base on the BEST XI picked above, players like VDS, Ferdinand, Pallister, Bruce, Robson, Beckham, Cantona, Yorke, Cole, Solskjear, Hughes n etc will hv to fight for the bench~~~ LOLzzzzzzzzzz....

Mind to share your opinions on the BEST XI or perhaps your own best XI of SAF 25 years time here? ^.^

For me
Schmeichel
Neville
Ferdinand
Vidic
Irwin

Ronaldo
Keano
Scholesy
Giggs

Cantona
Rooney

The Midfield 4 is pretty much dead on. Unless you insist on slotting Beckham in and moving Ronaldo to upfront

As for the strikers, I'd stick with Cantona and Rooney with the latter being the target man and the former dropping in between the line as the schemer.

The Rio and Vida partnership during their peak, in really untouchable. Stam tend to be a bit clumsy at times and could be caught out in pace too. Rio and Vida is the better/modern version of Dolly and Daisy.
Stam did not really have a partner in crime to be fair to him. Johnsen, Berg and May was in and out of the team that time.

Its been very strange tht papers today said SAF might consider selling Vidic to RM next season if they offer enough $$$ for us to get a good replacement!!! Hmm... In football, nothing is impossible... But of all ppl, Vidic is the player we shld keep for all reason... Rio n Evans can go... Then we shld get replacement for them... I think we needs another experience defender in the middle if Rio n Evans r being sold...

===============================================================================

Gti,

Nice selection~~~ Cantona always been 1 of my biggest favourate!!! But not too sure if he fits in today's high pace game~~~ Hehehe... But his presence alone, will inspire everyone in the team to do extra well~~~ Tht's for sure!!!

It was another big 3 points for us n the game was.... ZZZzzzzzzzzz~~~~

Ooooppppssss!!! Sorry, i fall asleep!!!! =.="

To b frank, it was a damn boring game to watch!!! =.=" Pace were slow, movement were bad, spirits not there n our creativity just dieing off~~~ Other than its SAF 25th anni celebration, there were nothing else to shout abt!!! Hmmm... The onli consolation i can think of is mayb for the day, bets were definitely 1 sided especially its a big day for SAF!!! But which game at Old Toilet didnt d bets go 1 sided?! =.="

Running out of words to said abt our game... We really need to sort out our midfield!!! Now we can clearly see, Rooney in midfield not the BEST long term solution to us... Aiiii~~~

=============================================================================

1 great newz for us is tht ManUtd hv signed a future star!!!

But Andreas Pereira will needs years b4 we can see him in the 1st team!!!

how should i get rid of it without hurting the car paint???

use wd-40? (i used b4 to remove left over sticker glue stains on car paint)

the worst thing is, it is not my car :sweat:
