The official Manchester United thread!!!!!!!!!

[daveteogh]

I am a die hard Man Utd fan... I watched the Manchester derby yesterday night and was kind of disappointed... They blew away the league title in first 3 games of the new season I don't believe they can win the EPL title now.

First of all, Tevez reminds me of Forlan! A striker who misses everything (if not almost all) under his feets.

I don't know what is Nami playing... crossing aimlessly... Giggs is now too slow now to run at defenders... tragic!

They have a real big problem now! They simply can't score/win
One goal in 3 games ended them with 2 points... I last check its league position and it is almost in the relegation zone... if they continue to play in this manner... relegation potential... but I think Man Utd been relegated is almost impossible or unthinkable

Wake up MAN UTD! This is the worst start for a defending leauge champion!

[oblivion]

at the rate they are going, its going to really be the worst start by the defending champions ever.

well on a good note, they did draw 3 in a row at the start of the treble season... so some hope there

the way they are playing now reminds me abit of the arsenal of the last 2 seasons
all flair but no end product

they totally murdered the 3 teams they played so far
but got nothing to show for it

giggs looks a shadow of his former self
nani is no 2nd ronaldo thats for sure
tevez looks unfit and anyway he's no lone striker which fergie insists on playing him as (no choice i guess)
rooney's crocked and ronaldo's banned
anderson's nowhere to be seen still
hargreaves ran around kind of like a headless chicken
neville's out till who knows when
saha too, and even if he returns he's guaranteed to get injured within 10 games
ole's old and slow
heinze's as good as gone

so who do we depend on?
fletcher and o'shea???

optimistic i sure am

[daveteogh]

This is a gone season for them... sorry I have to write them off as early as going into the 3rd games of the season. I certainly hope that they win the title but I have to be realistic... With strong teams like Chelsea and Liverpool improving, it won't be that easy for them to recover like the treble season

Liverpool is a team to watch this season! They have signed a good player... look at the solo goal against Chelsea last night! I guess they should have a good season but again... Liverpool is known for its inconsistant performance (sorry Liverpool fans )

Man Utd's so-called multi million dollar players are not performing... these newbie are not performing... tough season for such a BAD start

[Swoop]

Its still early to see rate the new players for man utd and the season just 3 games only...the next few games will be crucial for man utd

[stephen chung]

ManU will not be relegated. It will be boring for Liverpool up there without a worthy adversary.

[valice]

I agree with you Stephen. Chelski is missing in that match!
Liverpool was playing against 12 man yesterday!

Btw, Man U wouldn't be relegated. They are too strong to be relegated.

[oblivion]

they won;t be relegated of course
we're just sensationalising things

but they sure don;t look good at the moment
this season looks like a tough one to win the league
and even though its damn early still
7 points dropped is still significant

[daveteogh]

Man Utd won't be relgated... I am sure of that! The most they end up mid table!?

You know what! There is a joke going around from the anti-MU fans!! They are saying MU is exchanging position!! Swaping first for the last! OMG!! I hate this joke! The worst joke I have ever heard

It will be really tough for them since they dropped 7 points in first 3 games... with the current strong teams around... to win the league title need around 95 points for the entire season of 38 games...

Maximum points for the 38 games will be 114... MU only have 19 points to drop for the entire season but they have already dropped 7 points

It is ok if MU can't win the league title... I just hope Chelsea don't win! I don't like the face of their manager!

[Tetra Lover]

I think this season belongs to Liverpool. This team is very strong and it will get better as they play more matches....sorry to MU and Chelsea fans. I am an Arsenal fan, but this season is tough for them too. The goalkeeper is too old already and make easy mistakes. sighh....

[oblivion]

Just being subjective here and no particular offence to your team, but Lehman so far is a total joke.
And you must be worried now that Gallas is crocked
His replacement is gonna be Senderos!!!
That perpetually worried look on his face sure doesnt help, especially when you have a dodgy 'keeper like Lehman behind him.

[stephen chung]

Well, this is the best first 2 games that liverpool had for a long time. I really hope that they do better this season. YNWA..

Oh! Liverpool the long ball team ah!?

They have been playing damn boring soccer for seasons and a far shadow from the Liverpool team of the 80s (I grown up watching Liverpool winning EPL titles)

I agree they played well for their opening 2 games... but again... Liverpool is a high profile inconsistant team

I have serious doubt Liverpool will win the EPL title... so do Aresnal Don't kill me please... without Henry and Aresnal kepper dosing off during matchs... they can have EPL title in their dreams.

No offence... I am a Man Utd fan and I am saying MU sucks for the way they play... Do you know how many internationals are in Man Utd team!?!?!?! The number will scare you but they don't play like one

Well, this is the best first 2 games that liverpool had for a long time. I really hope that they do better this season. YNWA..

I hope Liverpool don't shock me by winning the EPL title
I don't see they are there yet...

Maybe Man City should be the champions for this season... do the impossible like what Leeds/Blackburn did in the 90s... winning the EPL title away from MU.

The season is still young... again... I just hope Chelsea don't win!

[tcy81]

i think new players need some time to gel.
I dont think alex ferguson wanted to start tevez , nani & owen so early in the season. I think he wanted to slowly let them adapted the team with
some subsitutes n maybe 1 or 2 of them starting some games.
With Rooney injured & ronaldo banned, no choice to start with 3 new faces.
so they lack the understanding with each other.
Next few matches would be very crucial, they need to win at spurs.

[BFG]

Relax guys, the maestro is testing the squad. 3 games has been sacrificed, but remember he need to built a team that would last a few season, not for this season only. Once everything click, the next couple of season will be the title chaser. So this year league, don't make too much big bets on MU.

It's like creating a new rifle. You don't just built one and keep shooting bullets. You'll need to drag it on a sandy surface and try using it after that. Find it's weakness and strong point. What condition would be ideal to use it, what is it's breaking point etc,etc. Everything need to be tested.

My prediction for now is MU is going to be in the top 5 or at least top 8. So all MU fans, die-hard or otherwise, hunker down in the camp trenches and endure whatever comes your way for next season, it will be a different story.

Liverpool with so much rotation going on, can see why they are so inconsistent. Doubt they can last the whole season to be Champions.

Man City maybe can make it to euro this seasons. The new signings really making impact already Elano, Geovanni,Bianchi , petrov.

Hated to say it,but Chelsea still the team to beat this season. '

I am a Man United Fan thou, hope for the best.

I'm going to retitle this as the Official Manchester United team thread since there seem to be enough interest in the team. Other team supporters can start your own threads.

Cheers,

[daveteogh]

Official Manchester United thread!

Thanks Benny!

I was listening to 987fm yesterday night and guess what... the DJ has another joke on MU... Damn!

They are saying MU is going to change sponsor soon... no more AIG as they are having a 'bad period'! Guess the new sponsor product???

Although it is a bad joke on the team that I support, it still give me a good laugh

[daveteogh]

No Liverpool move for Gabriel Heinze! Poor thing...

It is like come on... please be loyal to MU... he has at least won the EPL title last season with a great team! MU isn't a lousy and cannot make it team.

There are certainly competition for places in any good club and I am sure he will not play all the time even if he moves to Liverpool.

I believe he wants to move for the $$

For him to stay in MU is really tough now since he has created a saga and ended up going no where. He can't move to any clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, Aresnal... I don't think he will want to move to any other not so good EPL clubs... time for him to search overseas and he has less than 2 weeks to do so if he really die die want to move out... anyway he will not have future staying at MU anymore... we should know Fergie well enough

[bossteck]

Personally, I don't think Heinze is that great a player, a bit slow on the turn, always leap in with his elbows, and prone to making silly mistakes, just have to look back to Man Utd champions league second leg elimination, to see what I mean. I wouldn't mind him moving to Liverpool, i would see it as weakening them instead ha ha.

3 games doesn't make a season, it is still early days for every team, and I have 3 words for all despaired Man Utd fans --- African Nations Cup.

Cheers!

hi lads
i'm a a man city fan for my sins. haha
but i was the only blue in the pub watching the match, not only did my team win but i put bets up that city would win. i ended up the afternoon £ 160 more than i had when i walked in the pub.
i do sypothize with the red fans but am just pleased my team come out the winners.
don't worry about the reds they will end up in the top half of the season they are just missing their star players.

regards mick
