Football 2011-2012

[eFestivals]

Dunno Neil. Modric back and looking happy, Bale fully fit, Parker fitting into the team well, Friedel playing well in goal and organising the defence, Adebayor looking sharp. They could do well.

they still can't score goals (I know, they scored 4 yesterday, but they were gifts). They've got no attack that's worth speaking of.

They've a better first team and squad than Liverpool or Arsenal.

as individuals, perhaps. As a team, I can't see it.

Although they should've put Liverpool to the sword yesterday, it should have been 4 nil way sooner than it was.

That's my point - and even then, those 4 were gifts.

Without being gifted those goals, they had very few chances overall against a team a long way below its best who had two sent off, tho the chances they had were as a good as they get - and they missed them.

Last season their main handicap was scoring goals, and it looks like this season will be much the same.

Worst Liverpool performance I've seen in years - including anything that happened during the Hodgocaust.

Yep, very true. They miss Meirlese(sp?), Henderson is no winger, and they need Kelly back. And I can't ever see Carroll & Suarez working out either.

May be Kenny learnt something useful yesterday that he won't repeat, tho I'm not hopeful given the later substitutions he made yesterday which were the wrong choices by a long way IMO.

Agree with Nal, haven't seen Liverpool play that badly in years, but think Spurs deserve credit.

I made a point of starting what I said with it being a deserved win - it was. No other team deserved to win that game.

Didn't think Liverpool really created anything substantial all game ....

I agree. They were rubbish. And that's why I think Spurs weren't all that either.

[thetime]

A very creative and intelligent player with a lovely touch who could hold the ball up and bring players into the attack. And score goals when needed. i.e. Nothing like Andy Carroll.

[The Nal]

totally agree but the point I was making is you dont have to score lots of goals to be a great centre forward. cantona and choccie wouldnt of got as many goals if it wasnt for hughes style(my second all time utd hero)

Feel a bit sorry for Carroll in a way.

Why?

[The Nal]

I don't feel sorry for him for anything other than the fee chief, so can't really say ignore it. I certainly don't feel sorry for him having his lifestyle, just that see a young player that had a promising half year last season, and then becomes the butt of jokes nationwide for business done above his head.

[ralph250]

Sure know what you mean yeah. He hasn't helped himself though!

how many does he want!

its his central defence he should worry about.

[ralph250]

Really disappointed with the away fans tonight. Been in great voice all night, and then a few go and ruin it with fucking Istanbul chants. Munich chants aswell supposedly, but no excuses either way.

Twats.

is lazy, doesn't work for the team,

[eFestivals]

Aldershot to win League Two ... they better bloody do with the best manager.

tell you what, I'll swap that for the Carling Cup and a nice run in Europe.

Can't wait for the draw for the next round.

[pink_triangle]

The truth is we're in a better position than we were 12 months ago. You have to remember than when Kenny arrived his first task wasn't to win the Premier League... it was to ensure we were still playing in it this season. It took us 9 games tor reach 7 points last season.

Although “He’ll shag who he wants, he’ll shag who he waaaaaaa-aaants, that boy Giggsy, he’ll shag who he wants” is one of the best chants ever.

[The Nal]

Closer to one of the worst ever. Just eight separate words, to a tune that virtually every other sings a song too. Not clever, not original, and only very mildly amusing.

Particularly surprising, given Man Utd's (away) reportoire is usually pretty good when compared to most other clubs.

[pink_triangle]

Last night was no different. Utd away support, which is one of the best around, are hardcore, too hardcore at times.

[TheGayTent]

I disagree that Man Utd are one of the best away support , unless you are talking in terms of quantiy not quality. Maybe its just because I have my lower league hat on, but to me it takes a lot more effort to be a lower league fan, regulalrly going to downtordden stadiums with poor facilities, watching avergae journeyman footballer with little success.
