[cutieboy86]

[extr3mus]

[martinchua]

anyway i believe man utd need to get another striker. right now we only have saha rooney and tevez after solskjaer's retirement.

[reddevil0728]

Red Devil :D

[yunzhong]

yes! but no adriano pls :(

[lulu]

here! :D

[martinchua]

nah dun like adriano too. feel he kind of over-rated.

[yunzhong]

and fat :(*

[danielpng]

man utd should get carlos javier acuna from cadiz.. wonderkid.. :o

[martinchua]

trusted players ah. not players from FM pls. lets be more practical.

:)

[cutieboy86]

sad to see ole retire... tot he can play 1 last season... no adriano pls, he is fat and got discipline prob

[huhster]

is SAF gonna get another striker
if not headache again man...

[aegisX]

i am in :DD:

[glidingqy]

Anelka, Berbatov and Martins on the list dah :thumbs_up

[Lime]

Reporting in! :evil:

[yunzhong]

anelka and martins seemed good for e $$ though reputation of 'sulk' and 'inconsistency' shrouds a future among them =\

i would say huntelaar could be a cheaper opt? or probably peeps playing as a targetman.. we cant really win with crosses now. no 1 knows how to head decently =\

[Tanggang]

In need of targetman, someone who can hold-on to the ball. They were playing like aimless chickens against tottenham, though the attacks intensified after carrick was replaced.

[Scop3]

Red Devil reporting in!

[yunzhong]

woots!

nani is bound to replace giggs soon. his set pieces is better than him at least, for now... just that lack of composure, too gan jiong. my siggie says it all bout e future team! carrick to e bench most prob :P anderson replacing scholes soon and rooney partner tevez when he's back. 4-4-1-1 formation if no transfers gonna come in liao. lol.

we used to score from crosses, without saha now, look at our attacks. vidic and ferdinand gonna help out more now since ronaldo is always e 1 taking free kicks but he's e only attacking player able to head..

rooney score just 1 last season... from a header LOL

[evolution_7]

manU shld hijack the transfer market for Adriano from inter-milan. haha

[yunzhong]

loan yes. buy.. against it. he's fat lei

[Tanggang]

[yunzhong]

[KenMcGormick]

i heard from man fren Roma last year played a 5-1-4 formation and won MAN U... on the return leg man u played the same style and trashed roma

[nastyLonG]

[Tanggang]

The tie against Sporting Lisbon will be interesting ... perhaps the club may showcase yet future talents for the Man Utd scouts. :hat1:

[yunzhong]

no badge yet though. doing it on fri :D heeee. no stock last week

[Tanggang]

Woah ... nice! Missed the MO on manutdsg though. Guess have to dig deeper in the wallet & get it later

Anyway this coming weekend game against Chelsea will be interesting though. One way to look at is; Chelsea morale is at a current low with the departure of "the special one" Mourinho. Man Utd may want to benefit from this. Man Utd could finally kick-off their season with both Rooney & Ronaldo gaining their match fitnesses.

Another way to look at this is that Chelsea will be more unpredictable as we do not know Avram Grant's style of play & player selection style. With Mourinho, I believe Sir Alex has his tactics sorted out. However, things may not look so easy now. Chelsea players may also want to impress the manager & prove they got what it takes.

[yunzhong]

the MO still available. just started a brand new 1 :D

yeaaaaaaaaaaaa no more special one, no drogba, no lampard =X

[soulboy87]

[aegisX]

ole ole ole~ :DD:

[nums_lock]

yay! another victory for man utd..

mikel sending off was harsh.. j.cole should be sent off instead of him actually, if you compare..

[cutieboy86]

woohoo 2-0

[``iSoLaTeD-LiON~~]

ole ole~~

[martinchua]

ashley cole also damn niao. making alot of the tackles.

[feosimpatico]

cole damn violent. can c the chelsea players dun really wanna play. quite a boring match.

[cutieboy86]

chelsea today make alot of mistakes and the players keep givin the ball away... at 1 time during the match, man utd had 70 plus percent of procession

[yunzhong]

http://www.manutdsg.com/

WOOT BRO!~ u're here... how's your epl fantasy team?

ytd chelsea totally screwed up... see terry. they're playing their own game, usually will command 1 him. ytd he just stand there and head himself...

tbh, united din even bother to chiong after breaking e deadlock. if they wan they could have scored alot imo.

[elpibe10]

Removed them liao. Not in the right frame of mind at the beginning of the season so no point continuing. :(

Good result last night but I think Man Utd is still missing a really good centre forward ... someone like RVN. Hopefully we'll get someone ... perhaps Klass Jan Huntelaar ? Noticed many times there is no one in the penalty box to receive the cross. Lots of wasted chances.

[yunzhong]

saha is damm selfish to me >.<

as much as i love hargreaves to replace carrick, he have had a formidable game ytd...

[enbid]

it was quite a boring match IMO. United shld hav pushed forward and show them who's king LOL. again, ronaldo was not very effective. this season we may not be able to see his last season's form. i think giggs was much more effective. good for Tevez to see he finally scored.

[yunzhong]

we will. takes time bro.. we've new players trying to fit into our system.. and thus we ain't going all out like last season where all of them are fitted into e squad.

[elpibe10]

Yeah, to be fair, the weather doesn't help either. Man Utd's style of play (short, quick passes) is most effective only in dry weather condition.

[``iSoLaTeD-LiON~~]

hai.. but evra and mikel crash was a misfired one...how could referee gave Red to mikel??? evra went forward on his own accord!!!

[elpibe10]

hai.. but evra and mikel crash was a misfired one...how could referee gave Red to mikel??? evra went forward on his own accord!!!

Yeah, that should be a Yellow.

Joe Cole should get a Red for that inhumane challenge on wing wizard Cristiano Ronaldo.

[Tanggang]

Oh well, might as well get out from this cup tournament. Ease up on having too many games to play later.

On the bad note, Man Utd youngsters does not seems capable of performing at the big stage, they flopped badly based on last night's game. (Nani & Anderson included)

[cutieboy86]

surprised to see man utd lose... it seems the youngsters are still not up to the task compared to arsenal youngsters

[yunzhong]

dong, lee martin all this.. =.= shd have all gone out imo =\ least for my fm i never kept them..

[elpibe10]

Last night's game goes to prove that Man Utd youngsters suck ... totally opposite from the Gunners'. :thumbs_do

If you guys play Football Manager, you should know it. :salmonshi

[elpibe10]

dong, lee martin all this.. =.= shd have all gone out imo =\ least for my fm i never kept them..

Same here. Got rid of most of them before the season began. 1 awful lot !

Bought Giovanni Dos Santos, Carlos Vela, Felipe & Alexandre Pato instead. :thumbs_up

[Nickin82]

ya our youngsters not up the standard. shame. now we left onli 3 cups. no more quadruple

[Nickin82]

ya our youngsters not up the standard. shame. now we left onli 3 cups. no more quadruple

[Nickin82]

somehing strange

[Tanggang]

Ideally if I'm the owner & as loaded as Avramovich, will put my money on Wenger to handle the youth academy. He's got a great eye for talent!

Anyway looking at the purchase Man Utd did in past pre-seasons very much tells us the state of its youth academy.
Ronaldo, Rooney, Nani & Anderson all came in at a very much young age.

[yunzhong]

we gt good ones!~ u play fm u know ler.. but come again, its just a game LOL

[Tanggang]

Roma came playing for a draw and left to attack late in the game after Rooney puts Man Utd 1 up on the 70th min. Not the best of defending though by united which saw some nervous ending before referee Manuel Mejuto Gonzalez from Spain blew the final whistle.

Final score at Old Trafford: Man Utd 1 Roma 0

[yunzhong]

before the 70th min united was rock solid.. wa in e end that esposito shot nearly went in sia i almost drop my jaws lol. but i must say saha regained my confidence in him

[cutieboy86]

saha and nani play well i tink

[yunzhong]

nani played well when he knows he gonna get sub lol.

notice 2nd half focus on nani's flank.. ronaldo was a passenger. good tactic

[elpibe10]

nani played well when he knows he gonna get sub lol.

notice 2nd half focus on nani's flank.. ronaldo was a passenger. good tactic

Wah, steady lah. You actually stayed up to watch in the middle of the night. :thumbs_up

No need to work har ?

I'll be watching tonight at 10:30. :hat1:

[yunzhong]

i today gt work + going sim for classes lor.. man utd fan what. zz. its home how can ug uys miss it! :(

[elpibe10]

i today gt work + going sim for classes lor.. man utd fan what. zz. its home how can ug uys miss it! :(

No choice lah. Unker here cannot tahan until so late. :hat1:

[elpibe10]

WOOT ! Man Utd 4 - Wigan 0 !!! :thumbs_up :evil2:

[nums_lock]

yay ronaldo got back his form!

[Tanggang]

Finally a none 1-0 win. Great game in 2nd half, confidence is up!

However, united will have to make do with more injuries, lets see how the depth of the squad is further tested with the upcoming games!

I do feel though that the hargreaves recovery thing is tactically planned to benefit Man Utd more than England though.

[yunzhong]

simpson assist sia lol

[dondon]

the new signings lived up to their expectations...kudos to them...


Glory Glory Man United!!

[elpibe10]

simpson assist sia lol

:thumbs_up

Future Gary Neville replacement ? :hat1:

[cutieboy86]

a great 2nd half performance frm manutd...

[lulu]

glory glory 4-0 united :DD:

[martinchua]

we need to see more of simpson before we can really say he will take over from neville.

wad man utd need isnt 1 big performance but more of consistent good performances from the youngsters.

hopefully pique and simpson can go on and cement their place.

[elpibe10]

I hope our rivals lose points tonight ... especially the Gunners & the one who doesn't dare to walk alone :evil2:

Come on Spurs ! :hat1:

[cutieboy86]

ya shld see more of pique and simpson b4 we can really say abt them but there is potential

[nums_lock]

when my friend told me simpson was subbed in, i was thinking.. shit who the hell is this guy..

turned out to play quite well..

[elpibe10]

when my friend told me simpson was subbed in, i was thinking.. shit who the hell is this guy..

woohoo... nice win

[huhster]

thrashing :rolleyes

[dondon]

Wah. You sit beside your computer while watching?

yeah laptop....:)

[Tanggang]

Great win for Man Utd, maintains a gd run of momentum in the league. Augers well for the upcoming champions league game.

Kudos to Aston Villa players too for showing great character even with 9 men left, still attacking towards the end. I'd bet if it were against Arsenal/Chelsea they'll be hacking the united players trying to injure them.

Martin O'neill should build upon the young enthusiastic squad, started positively and took the lead. However, some defensive howlers (mainly inexperienced) got Man Utd back smiling by half time.

Overall, great passing game by Man Utd. Some of the one-twos are simply awsome and took apart the villa defense.

[elpibe10]

Fantastic result. :thumbs_up

Damn I was too tired and couldn't stay awake to watch it. Always hate those late kick-offs. :angry3:

[cutieboy86]

could have scored a few more if not for the saves and miss

[totoro17]

rooney was fantastic last nite....

[martinchua]

he should have gotten his hat trick though.

[Tanggang]

he should have gotten his hat trick though.

Perhaps he wanted to play the full game instead of getting the hat-trick. Pretty sure Ferguson will sub him the moment he got his hat-trick, but instead he missed. Well anyway we saw the fourth goal coming sooner or later.

[yunzhong]

ronaldo came in did nothing, and rammed 2 shots at keeper which made a double save sia.. i was like WTF LOL

[cutieboy86]

haha... ya man... after giggs goal, the camera zoom to fergie hu was signallin for ronaldo i guess to end his warm up and get ready to go on to the field... after sub in, ronaldo onli juz shoot 2 shots at goal and then disappear le

[yunzhong]

that 1 tight angle sia. :D

[dondon]

actually i am more concerned abt the champ league..if they come in second and win the champ league i'wll be happier rather than 1st in BPL and kanna knocked out

[cutieboy86]

next match up.. a win against kiev and we are juz there to the knockout stages le

[elpibe10]

actually i am more concerned abt the champ league..if they come in second and win the champ league i'wll be happier rather than 1st in BPL and kanna knocked out

I guess I'm more greedy ... I'll only be happy if we win the BPL & CL. :evil2:

FA Cup can give it to the other clubs. :hat1:

[dondon]

I guess I'm more greedy ... I'll only be happy if we win the BPL & CL. :evil2:

FA Cup can give it to the other clubs. :hat1:

agreed no need treple...just that elusive double

[Tanggang]

Yup, even on championship manager, i consider the League Cup & FA Cup as major distractions. Avoid these 2 and u keep your batch of players fresh. Jan-May is the period where those with thin squads will stretched.

Just aim for the Premier League & Champions League!

[martinchua]

gosh, scholes injured.

our already thin midfield is further depleted.

[yunzhong]

4-2 to united!~ heard giggs played super good sia. nani pressing him ler =-D

[cutieboy86]

3rd match with 4 goals... we on a scoring run eh... hu say man utd got scoring crisis

[Tanggang]

3rd match with 4 goals... we on a scoring run eh... hu say man utd got scoring crisis

I'd say when Man Utd is on a great run, goals will come along. However, we've got to remember that these wins came against much lesser opponents. The real test will come later on in the season. Just hope the momentum continues and the team peaks at the right time.

[Tanggang]

A great 4-1 win to Man Utd against Middlesbrough! Tevez & Rooney seems to have found their game. Great way of complementing each other.

However, seems a relatively quiet game for Ronaldo. Well, still early at this stage, i'll pardon him for the 1 game off. Hope they'll peak during the crunch time from Mar - May period.

At the current rate, I'd be happy if Man Utd maintain their pace nibbling at the premier league leaders. Both Chelsea & Tottenham seems to have succumb to the pressure by the press & fans. Wonder, if it'll be Liverpool's turn soon based on Benitez preference for squd rotation. A great test for him tonight when Liverpool welcomes Arsenal at Anfield. As a Man Utd fan, i sure hope Arsenal can be stopped on their winning run tonight.

[elpibe10]

Excellent result. A pity we've to concede a goal due to poor defending by O'Shea, Vidic and Ferdinand. IMO, O'Shea isn't good enough for us and Ferguson should bring in a good quality fullback who can play on either side just for backup.

Ronaldo didn't have a good game last night but he is my footballing God and I'm sure he'll bounce back really soon :thumbs_up

BTW, I'll be a Liverpool fan just for tonight. :hat1:

... it is not only important for the Gunners to drop some points but also for them to have a dent in their team morale as the next premier league match is against us. :hat1:

[cutieboy86]

rooney and tevez seems to have found the way for the 2 of them to click tog and play their own game.. tt's veri gd and with ronaldo, nani, anderson, giggs and the rest, man utd attack will be exciting... we have equalled a 100yr record.. a great goal frm nani, great 1 touch football last night

[Tanggang]

... it is not only important for the Gunners to drop some points but also for them to have a dent in their team morale as the next premier league match is against us. :hat1:

Oh yah, almost forgotten that next week is Man Utd against Arsenal. Well, i agree with you. If Liverpool succeeded to get all 3 pts tonight ... followed by Man Utd 3 pts next week, pressure will be on the young gunners.

[blackbuzz]

2-2
45' [0 - 1] W. Gallas (o.g.)

48' [1 - 1] C. Fabregas

82' [1 - 2] C. Ronaldo

90' [2 - 2] W. Gallas

Nice pass by Saha.

feel pity for our devils.

[elpibe10]

Should have won if not for our lame defending :thumbs_do

[yunzhong]

more like kelong for bookie imo =/

[Tanggang]

Based on this form, might as well tikam total goals is 4 for every game they play. Magic no. 4 seems to be "hot" lately.

Tough luck for the team, shld have maintained possession till the injury time is over. Fell they shld have prevented the cross in the first place. Wonder what giggs is doing towards the end of the game. Seems rather ineffective. Shld have him replaced by nani.

Anyway a draw away from home seems a fair result. Was hoping someone shld have "broken" Fabregas legs. The whole team seems to be centered around him.

[elpibe10]

I wasn't happy with a draw. With the number of attacking talents we have in our squad, we should be able to beat them especially with their avg. quality fullbacks and goalie.

... and yeah, should play Nani instead of Giggs. Giggs is obviously over the hill and should be used as a sub for either C.Ronaldo or Nani.

Hope we can land a good center forward soon (eg. Klas Jan Huntelaar) as we need someone to convert those crosses into goals.

[yunzhong]

berbatov berbatov :D

[Tanggang]

berbatov berbatov :D

Will have to wait & see how things develop at Tottenham with Ramos in-charge. Berbatov doesn't seem to be playing to his full potential of late. Seems a lil low on morale.

He's awareness is great, gd height but i'd rather not disturb the current partnership of rooney & tevez.

Rooney & Tevez is a good partnership but sometimes, we may need a Rooney & Van Nistelrooy kind of partnership to penetrate some oppositions like Arsenal (or Barcelona) who isn't as strong when defending against crosses from the flanks.

Using the same system against every opposition will result in more draws and losses compared to having flexible strategies (so that we can better capitalize on the opposition's weaknesses and counteract their strengths).

Do agree that we sometimes need to have a diff. approach depending on the opponent's strength & weakness. Wonder if Fergie is going to do another transfer-magic in the Jan transfer window. Another Larsson-like loan deal perhaps.

today! man utd vs dynamo kiev! who watching?

today! man utd vs dynamo kiev! who watching?

Obviously we die hard fans would! :fryingpan

[elpibe10]

Obviously we die hard fans would! :fryingpan

I really want to but don't think I can 'tong' until so late ... sure KO before kick-off. :zzzzz:

[Tanggang]

I really want to but don't think I can 'tong' until so late ... sure KO before kick-off. :zzzzz:

Initially though that aso but since tomorrow is public holiday (deepavali) the holiday mood sets in. Can merry till late morning. :hat1:

sleep first wake up later lo

[Tanggang]

... Based on this form, might as well tikam total goals is 4 for every game they play. Magic no. 4 seems to be "hot" lately ...


Expected to be a roll in the park and it paved the way to the knock-out stage of the Champions League. So did anyone 'tikam' 4 goals this time? Surely there'll be some happy faces around yah.

Fergie saw the opportunity and handed starts to several young players and also those returning back from injury to get them the much needed match fitness.

[elpibe10]

sleep first wake up later lo

Haha ... yeah, sleep first then watch the repeat telecast at 10am. :hat1:

IMO, our performance isn't very outstanding but it was a below average opposition so we still manage to get 4 goals. :evil2:

[-MatsumotO]

aww, rooney's injured. at such a time when he is in great form

[elpibe10]

aww, rooney's injured. at such a time when he is in great form

Yeah, really disappointing news.

Hope we won't be back to 1-0 wins without him.

[cutieboy86]

hope saha and tevez partnership can give smth new

[Tanggang]

... Rooney & Tevez is a good partnership but sometimes, we may need a Rooney & Van Nistelrooy kind of partnership to penetrate some oppositions like Arsenal (or Barcelona) who isn't as strong when defending against crosses from the flanks ...


So Rooney's out for a month now and we now have a chance to see a Saha-Tevez partnership. Fergie has the easier job now since he's unlikely to bench Rooney to try a diff. stike combination. What a better chance when one is out injured. (imho i'd rather rooney rested now and not play for England & come back stronger for Man Utd later in the stages esp. the hectic Dec. schedule)

Saha's not exactly a Van Nistelrooy but he sure does provide a chance for cross bombardment. Saw the Nani's cross for Rooney's easy tap in in the Champions League game against Dynamo Kiev? Sometimes i hope the wingers cut a bit of the dribbling antics and keep things simple with just a perfectly weighted cross.

[elpibe10]

I'm keepin' my fingers crossed for tonight's match. :devil:

[martinchua]

lets hope we get a good game.

we all know the recent scoring sprees gonna stop, but at least get some comfy wins.

[blackbuzz]

ronaldo does e job! 2-0 @half time!

[dondon]

[cutieboy86]

Chelski dropped a couple of points. Let's hope that the Royals grab all 3 points from the Gunners :hat1:

[pa9797]

Man U work really hard yesterday. everytime a ball was lost they will chase it back. This is the spirit that will win them games. hope to see neville come back soon.

[yunzhong]

i wore my united shirt everywhere @ chalet that day.! even though i din watch it :D

[Tanggang]

Man Utd players seems to be having hang-overs from the Euro qualifying games. School boy mistake by Pique (replacing the injured Vidic) led to Anelka's goals.Passing was terrible. Seeing Giggs ard makes it more sianz! Nani playing more and more like Bellion. Only knows how to run straight and then losses possession.

Hope the half-time hairdryer treatment will wake-up the players, if not we'll some substitution soon. :angry3:

[pa9797]

wah! totally different in work rate as compared to the previous match. Like that cannot win games one

[bluecoral]

i totally agreed man.. the way man u played last night...
= boring game ...
look at bolton with their fancy back heel pass...
seen a few time liao ..
but davies is damn wicked to make the man u players hot...

[ErShiEr]

i believe manutd will bounce back in the next game!

[martinchua]

great!

now we're guaranteed a top spot in the group which means the game against roma will not carry any significance and SAF can take this chance to rest his key players ahead of the match against liverpool and at the smae time give the fringe players and younger players some much needed football experience, especially at a big stage like the ECL.

[bluecoral]

lol when i saw SAF then i tot ah chua army till key siao liao haha...
then i slowly realise it meant the manager lol hahaa...

He's good but not that great. I'd rather we sell him and get a better right back to eventually replace the aging G.Neville.

[Tanggang]

Agreed, even in FM/CM he's a no brainer for the transfer. One of the first few together with Fletcher who's gonna be sold.

[yunzhong]

Don't tell me he wan go Sunderland too =X

Not the best of performance, however, i'll take the 3 points! Both sides seems to cancel each other out.

Rooney had a great chance to make it 2-0 but alas he left his scoring boots behind.

[ahzaii]

Eh teve score at what min???

[lulu]

nice. man u 1-0 liverpool

[pa9797]

yah! Man U win Everton 2-1.

Rooney and Tevez did not score. need a out and out striker

[Capashen]

rooney hasn't scored since he returned from injury right?

[ahgohgoh]

ya loh but he was hot till he got the stupid injury...........

[Tanggang]

Well, finally Rooney scored yesterday! Anyway wasn't impressed with how the game started. Pretty scrappy.

First goal was gifted. Rooney one-on-one with the keeper
Second goal was off a quick counter attack. Placed bottom corner by Saha
Third goal was a materpiece freekick by Ronaldo
Fourth goal was a penalty tucked away by Saha

Fletcher, Carrick, Saha & Nani got to start off the match. Park Ji Sung and Pique came later on in the game.

Wasn't impressed with the midfield performance by Fletcher & Carrick. Considered them fringe players. Partnership of Anderson & Hargreaves totally rocks!

Arsenal later on stumbled at Portsmouth and so Man Utd is top of the table right after Christmas!

[elpibe10]

Good result for us especially when we had several fringe players in the team. :thumbs_up

I'm even happier that we've now taken over the top spot from Arsie :D

i wonder how the new signing manucho will fare at OT.
Is he even officially a man u player?
any one know anything abt this?

He's currently away representing Angola in the African Cup of Nations and is still awaiting for the work permit clearance. ALready a 24 year old, i suppose he'll be thrown straight into the first team should the transfer be successful.

Sir Alex needs someone with the agility and arial prowess, and Manucho seems to fit this requirements. Of similar style to Saha but with less injury proness. Saha may be on the move by then ...

From the name itself (Man-u-cho), he's seems destined for Man Utd

[ticket2THz]

Darn.. Again.. Fifth round FA cup draw.. Man U draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford..

Fantastic result and excellent performance ! :applause:

I'll watch it again this evening :thumb2:

The match against Man City was a disaster but this is surely the perfect antidote :evil2:

[lulu]

i say. GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!! 4-0 hoot dah!

[elpibe10]

Haha ... just watched the match again.

DAMN SHIOK ! :songdah2:

[lulu]

yea nani goal really song dah. great buy!

[elpibe10]

yea nani goal really song dah. great buy!

Don't know who won Man of the Match but IMO Nani fully deserves it :thumb2:

[lulu]

yea any way to check online who wan MotM?

[elpibe10]

yea any way to check online who wan MotM?

They didn't mention it. My guess would be Nani :D

BTW, I agree with Fergie on this :

Ferguson felt Gunners defender William Gallas should also have seen red.

"I thought Gallas should have been sent off," the United boss said.

"The referee must have a look at that again. He kicked Nani from behind and the referee called both over because they sized up to each other. He should have been red-carded."

Never liked him even when he was at Chelski. One very unsporting fella and another sore loser like his current manager. :thumbs_do

Lyon 1 - 1 Man Utd

Good chance to progress if we beat them at home.

Yeap.. But even if we draw 0-0 with Lyon...

We can still qualify for next round... Yeah!:thumb2:

[Tanggang]

Actually, I was rather relieved when Lyon scored first, coz it'll make Man Utd try an get the equalizer (away goal) which is impt in this stage of the champions league.

Even if the score is a stalemate 0-0 later in the return leg, Man Utd still goes thru. To not make it thru to next round bcoz of the away goal is simply cruel.

Remember the year Porto won the champions league? They didn't actually beat us but got thru bcoz of the away goal, so i'd rather we be in the driving seat this time round

On a sidenote, great to see liverpool having the upper-hand coz I have a niggling feeling that they'll be there to eliminate Chelsea again later in the stages :hat1:

I just love Newcastle United.

... bcos we get to TRASH them twice this season :lol:

We're now 3 points from Arsie with a home game against them later on. :thumb2:

Things are lookin' good so far especially with one of their 1st team strikers out for the rest of the season

[Tanggang]

Simply Awesome! :thumbs_up

[Tanggang]

Arsenal held while Man Utd closes down with yet another impressive win, this time round over Fulham.

Rafa shld learn from the master Fergie on how best to use the squad rotation policy. Its done to perfection once again and players; both main and fringe seems to be peaking as the season come to the crunch time.

Job well done, another 3 points in the bag once again! :thumbs_up

[elpibe10]

Yeah, excellent away result. :thumb2:

Arsie losing 2 pts is an added bonus for us :D

Hope we do well against Lyon on Wednesday :angel:

Ferguson enjoys swipe at Arsenal's late equaliser
tribalfootball.com - March 01, 2008

After victory at Fulham, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson took a swipe at Arsenal following their last-gasp draw with Aston Villa.

Arsenal saved defeat against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium with a stoppage-time equaliser by Nicklas Bendtner and Ferguson remarked: "I see it was the 95th minute of their usual seven minutes injury time."

gooalllllllll! glory glory christiano united

[glidingqy]

Lose to Portsmouth. Kuszczak shouldn't get red lor. Wasn't last man

[lulu]

plain unlucky.

[elpibe10]

Not just unlucky. I think the referee kelong :thumbs_do

[Tanggang]

When I saw carrick unable to score virtually at the goal line, its been made clear that the night wasn't Man Utd's.

Thumbs up though for the effort, coz on other nights we can easily get several goals.

Portsmouth goal showed some weakness in the Man Utd backline when they only have Rooney & Anderson (lack of arial prowess) when James launched the counter-attack. Last of understanding or communication left Baros unmarked.

[elpibe10]

IMO, Paul Scholes shouldn't play anymore. He is way over the hill ... really slow and lacking sharpness.

... and it is quite obvious (to me at least) that the ref either doesn't like Man Utd or receive kelong $ from H.R.
