No chance.

Those calling for Krul to start should read this if they've forgotten already. http://www.nufc.com/2010-11html/2010-07-24norwich-a-f.html

Play our best 11 in a 4-4-2 and I think we'll win 2-0, start with the same 11 which we started with tonight and it's another defeat.

Krul was brilliant against Norwich in pre season so I can understand why people want him to start in the Premiership.

He started out as a right-back under Robson (in the first team) and kept that position for quite a while.

I've always preferred Stave Taylor in the centre but at this time he's the best we've got for right-back.

It looked like a poor ball to me and I said so before they scored, it looked like he'd bottled it.

I thought that Nolan was at fault for the first goal, he absolutely bottled it and passed the ball to somebody in a worse position than his own.

I think the final score flattered us tonight, Man U were more than 3 goals better than us. I don't know what the final possession percentage was for them but I'd be surprised if it wasn't in the high 60's. Our defence is getting a bit of stick on here when I think they've done well to keep it to 3 considering we had nothing in midfield and for all Carroll ran a lot, we had nothing up front as far as a goal threat goes. I've seen us play a lot worse at Old Trafford with better players so I'm not going to get too down on this result. On tonight’s performance our whole midfield could be replaced and they wouldn’t be able to argue about it.

I'm more dissapointed that Smith is playing (allegedly).

At a guess

I expect you're going to be slightly disappointed.

I'd rather play Perch than Ryan Taylor, Perch hasn't been as bad during pre-season as is being made out.

Wigan are missing Bramble.

Bloody hell, Blackpool.

Harewood has scored.

Something like that.

I'll quote that just so you can't delete it.

Acuna was very underrated.

Read the thread.

Ben Arfa is refusing to shave until he signs for us. http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/7819/arfa.jpg

Sorry, my bad.

You didn't need to see the date. 21 years old Scolari behind Liverpool in the title race

This reminds me of when Arshavin travelled to Arsenal and sat around in a hotel room before signing. Was Arshavin on his way to an airport and turned back around to sign? I seem to remember air travel being disrupted by the weather at the time.
