  1. It was quite a brilliant moment in the midst of all the doom and gloom after getting knocked out...
  2. Priceless...for everything else there's Master card Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes reaction to the question " Is utd in danger of turning into liverpool"... Tears of laughter
  3. Utd actually played more entertaining football than seen in a long while. Probably forced by all the injuries Paul Scholes nailed it though when he said " "With an average team, you get average performances. "I think it's more of a disaster when you're surprised by it. "But it doesn't feel like a disaster to me because I'm not surprised." LVG out....
  4. Hi Vintage,

    Firstly thanks for all the great information you post. Highly appreciated. Also out of curiosity, are you in any way involved in the organisation or do you work in news? Amazing how you also have the information ahead of anyone else :) 

    Anyway, on behalf of all of us farther a field, thanks 

  5. Good question... I remember Blind doing ok last season, which is probably, why he used Rojo in the middle, but I don't rate Rojo. Always giving away free kicks with late tackles (like Evans)... Young is actually also a good possibility It really sucks we didn't get a better left footed C/B during summer...
  6. Cheers Captain W. The boy showed will to get his physical fitness back to peak form, and his performances this season showed it. Here's hoping that not only does he get back to playing, but regain his pace, which is, in part, what makes him special... Valencia had the same accident, and he regained his pace so hopefully..... As for Utd, its back to the drawing board defensively....
  7. Gutted for Shaw. Double leg break... hope he can come back stronger... Henrik Larsson and Aaron Ramsay both managed, so here's hoping. But a massive setback for the boys development...
  8. Also believe they will, but you're bang on. It'll be good night Vienna if they don't start to take their chances away from home.
  9. God I miss Keano... Morata would have been stretchered off... Very poor refereeing decision, which had a massive influence on the result. Utd better shape up soon or it will be a very short campaign in the CL for them
  10. Crap... Shaw will be out for the season... just as we were starting to get a settled defence w the best full back pairing in years...
  11. RM still trying to push the deal through...seems like they messed up And since we are unlikely to win the league this season, its great to see Utd take a chance on a youngster with reportedly huge potential.... like Rooney and Ronaldo etc.
  12. Totally agree... Have stated it several times. Without a real commanding C/B we are not going to cause anyone problems....
  13. Poor showing Utd... Well beaten by PSG. Jones should not be allowed on as centerback and Blind isn't one neither....
  14. De Maria.... If he were to leave it could be either Utd doesn't feel he brings enough and has sufficient cover or he, as Rocket says, shows a lack of ambition/ heart... No direspect to PSG but if a player signs for £59 mill he doesn't leave within 12 months unless something is severely wrong.
  15. Sounds great Tom but you won't have to as Reus is not coming yo Utd. I'm more interested in how Pereira, Wilson and Depay performs. How great it would be if LVG will be giving these boys a proper chance. Used to be the Utd way.
  16. Rocket, Dr death, baboon and anyone else going... Enjoy. U-N-I-T-E-D United are the team for me ... ....
  17. Careful now.... Summer spree hasn't ended yet. Make sure the needle for the piercing is disinfected...
  18. Totally agree that midfield was a huge problem last season. Blind was not the answer as a replacement for Carrick, and playing Rooney there doesn't work at all. However Vidic has never been replaced and without a better C/B we will be going nowhere. Jones and Donkey Evans are not good enough (Smalling however did improve a lot). Would still like a proper goalscorer up front... Hopefully Roo can find his scoring boots. (All the title contenders has 2 or 3 players capable of getting well into double figures, so I find that a concern) Can utd win the league next season...not sure, but we will be a lot stronger and I don't expect us to be out classed by the likes of Swansea next season. Will fight it out with City and Arsenal to be main challengers to Chelsea
  19. Agree... Centerback more important. Would like Cavani or similar striker, but more for options than a straight 4-4-2. LVG is known to prefer 4-3-3 provided he has the right personel to do so.
