couldn't have happened to a bigger wanker

Very surprised Oliver actually spoke to Jimenez to be honest.

probably summoned him up in a sceance

Ne5's key word search will bring him straight to neesy. Don't we ever learn never to type in;

 

"old regime"

 

"craig bellamy"

 

"freddy shepard"

 

 

 

 

We're probably safe for a week or so, he'll not want to come on here while were doing OK and have to eat humble pie.

are you saying that we're gonna lose next week??

Pretty much what everyone on here is thinking put into words there I think.

 

We all knew that the club was in the s*** before Ashley bought it and we are all aware of how much money he has tipped in to keep us afloat. 

 

Decent read without actually telling us anything that hasn't been written somewhere else before along with the continuing vitreol of who is in charge of player recruitment.

 

Still a week or so left to bring in the promised additional players and still I have faith in the club to deliver (at least everything apart from my season ticket!!).

 

What we really want this year is a nice quiet, unremarkable season winning the games that we should win and not getting stuffed by anyone.  A neat top 10 finish and get all these press monkeys off our backs to allow us to do some decent business and push on forwards.

good news this

kid is talented, but not talented enough. hope they'll appreciate his honest game over there

good luck Shola

now for his replacement 

played excellent yesterday, was my man of the match despite being quiet he shut the man u midfield down and was steady in partnership with butt

exactly what i think too! he provided what was a bottle-neck in their attack. they only managed to get somewhere when they managed to get past him

Made about 80 passes at a completion rate of 80%. Impressive, considering the opposition.

nice stat!! im actually quite interested, where did u find it?

Possibly Razack Pimpong??

 

He's balls.

i disagree there.....nuthin but net!! 

I think their missing impact players, Ronaldo and Tevez would have made much more impact than ours.

 

To say it would have been the same game had Tevez and Ronaldo started is very biased. Also a fit or available Carrick, Giggs, Nani, Hargreaves  and Anderson would all of made a huge difference in the second half.

 

We played very well, caught them a bit short and deserved to draw if not win.  But thats all it was.

 

Lets see what happens against Arsenal, if we do simialr then I may start getting a bit carried away.

It's a futile argument tbh. We can go on about who was missing from the Man U line-up all day, and still can't say for certain we wouldn't have got the same result (or better even) had the obvious players been on the pitch. You can only play what's in front of you, and the game was between NUFC and Man Utd, two football clubs. Who was on the pitch is irrelevant, and history books will say that the game ended 1-1, with the two sides sharing the points.

I reckon we are tracking a big name striker that if we do get we will cash in on Owen to Spurs..

 

 

Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud

 

Err we've failed in our bid according to the sunday sun!

It's been a great weekend. All three new players performed really well. A well deserved point, but most of all is how we performed, Lost my Visa card on saturday night because i had a little bit too much, but luckily enough i didn't loose any money when i checked my account yesterday. And i found a girl, cannot remember her name or what she looked like, but rumours say that she looked like a human being at least..

 

 

I posted earlier and asked if there's any place where you after a game can find stats of a player running distance after a game? I got no answer to that, maybe no one knows. Or did they show stats like running distance in english televison when the game was over?

 

 

There was one of the papers that did an interactive thing like that of the game, telling you running distances, speed, where the playw as focussed etc.  It was either the telegraph or the Guardian but Ic an't findit now.

 

Ok. Cheers. I will try to make a new serch and see if i can find anything.

Send me the link if you find it and I will do likewise.

i'll show you mine if you show me yours

Don't want to stir up trouble but if you look at Keegan's interview after the game yesterday (bbc website) he didn't actually recommend or give the go-ahead for the Gutierrez signing. He says that "Wise and Jimenez called me and told me they'd got this bloke called spiderman in...so i looked him up"

 

Curious...

 

don't even f***ing start

 

What the hell's your problem?! It's a forum so i will "f***ing start" to discuss issues/topics/points of interest at my leisure. I'm not getting involved in an internet argument with you as that's just lameo. If you have an actual constructive view that engages with the facts then please respond. If not, read the post and move on.

 

The fact is, out of Keegan's very own mouth, he said Wise and Jimenez told him they'd got Jonas in, and so he then went to look him up. Also, Keegan hadn't seen much of Coloccini before he came here by the sounds of it.

 

Watch the post-match interview on the bbc website in the manu-toon report. Skip forward to 2minutes and 7 seconds and listen on from there.

mate...i dont want to get into any arguments. i saw the interview, and obviously noticed that part. i just responded to your "dont want to stir up trouble" comment at the beginning of your post. you obviously know this discussion is going to stir up trouble, so to speak, on the board, and we will get the usual paranoid brigade crawling out from under their rocks to undermine yesterday's result, and keegan, and the board etc..etc...

i heard the comment, and hoped everyone would just ignore it

N'Zogbia did as well at left back as an attacking midfielder could to playing there. Also, one poster said that Zoggy was at right back with Beye at one point, which he was in the second half. But the full story was Guthrie moved to left back and Zoggy to CM for 5 minutes. Why i don't know, but it's what happened. Watch the match again you'll see around 70min mark.

 

Zog's young and has plenty of time to develop a football brain. A lot of posters on this forum are too quick to point out the weakness a player has (no player is perfect, no player!!) and scream sell sell sell! In 5 years time Zoggy and Taylor will be around 27/28 have played thousands of matches and will be at full physical strength and the benefit of 3+ years with Kevin Keegan. They absolutely have to be kept. They'll grow into being class footballers, no doubt about it.

 

Carragher was Sh*te until he reached 27, Adams wasn't the complete defender before 25. Keown was a good defender who never really recovered from his weaknesses but learned to constrain them in his play. These players give me the sense to realise that sticking with Zoggy and Tayls is what's needed. Not peddlin them for the latest in-fashion fm-suggested foreign player

correct. it was under instructions from KK, to get Zoggy on the ball to drive us forward. we kept possession quite well in that spell, and it was that spell that took the sting out of the game. i remember an instance when Guthrie wriggled away from 2 Man U players on the touch line and sent Zoggy through with a sublime outside of the foot pass

don't even fucking start

Oh he didn't play poorly, i must be player hating. I just have a vendetta against the lad and ignore what I see.

correct

glad you came to your senses 

I'm a bit late on commenting but here's my twopenneth worth:

 

Gutiererz was amazing going backwards, and full of promise going forwards.

 

Duff's sh*te!! Playing in a free role he never bothered to get into space much and be FREE! And the amount he lost the ball tamely falling over appealling for a free kick in the second half was anger management sessions right there! what we needed was someone to drop deep and feed martins or give an off the ball option for a pass but no, duff's more interested in performing like Hilary as opposed to the pre-2005 Damien.

 

Colo's quality. Quality performs well. Taylor had a surprisingly good game. I just wish he'd bulk up a bit with his upper body strength so he could dominate in the air like Terry does. He lost a few headers to Rooney in the second half.

 

Given's always been Given. Those writing him off were footballing virgins or G*****!

gonads?

great read thedude 

Some people here have this tabloid mentality.. the OP is truly amazing in that sense.. poor attitude & work-rate, positionally horrible, should be embarrassed..

Now I know people would love to see N'Zogbia fail, so that they can say after that "See, I told you so", but how can you pick up on a player after what was a brilliant team performance. Keegan picked the squad, took a gamble on Zog at LB and ultimately it paid off.. and that's all that matters.

 

mods ban him!! he's talking sense!!!! 

if free and interested, then it's a no brainer. we need bodies anyway

Web-slinging.

blatantly

Totally gutted we didn't win this one. It was there for our taking - just couldn't hold on. F*ucking steven taylor had to go off... when we needed men back to defend just after taking the lead.

 

Couldn't believe we couldn't beat a bunch of kids. Didn't know half the Manure team. Dissapointed.

 

I assume that's a piss-take?

 

But still, not heard of Van Der Sar, Vidic, Brown, Evra, Ferdinand, Scholes, Giggs, Carrick and Rooney? I've been told a couple of them are canny players.

assumption is the mother of all fuck ups 

esteban cambiasso would be my dream signing at the moment

Thinking about Butt's performance...

He made one or two mistakes, gave the ball away a couple of times, and looked a little out of his depth when we tried to move the ball forward......

however...

When man utd had the ball, i thought he was an absolute beast!!! he chased and harried and made some fantastic tackles (bar the last minute foul). He gave his ex-team no respect whatsoever, unlike his previous meetings with them.

Glad to see him get stuck in, and it feels as if he has actually developed an affinity for NUFC, and plays for the shirt with some pride.

He may be lacking in some areas due to his age, but he is a fine example of a model professional footballer. His attitude could be the key to developing Danny Guthrie, who looks to have the whole lot in his locker, and is one for now and the future
