Didn't we have a good goal dissalowed too? Wenger can lick my balls.

Assuming he didn't leave at half time he'd have pure pissed himself during the second half. Can't wait til he's back.

That one needs made into a smilie or whatever they're called.

Astonished. Did i spell that right? Who cares. I hope we're talking about this game in may, when we're discussing how we stayed up.

I cant believe that people cant see that the team spirit has been totally fucked and cant see why. Oh i can. When we went down to arsenal we we're a team, in every sense of the word. Now we're just a collection of footballers, some of whom are far from premiership standard. And one of whom, best, who'd struggle at sunday league level.

Championship her we come!

IIRC it's because they were formed when the Olympic movement (remember Pierre de Coubertain was French) was starting and they were intended not as just football clubs, but multi-sport clubs to foment the practice of sports amongst the population, which was one of the pillars of the modern Olympic movement. Some of the French people or Baba might know better though. Cheers, that's good enough for me.

Why do some french sides have the term olympique in their name. United, city etc are fairly obvious. I know there's plenty of local sides down under with olympic in there name, because they're from greek neighbourhoods. Just wondering?

Mick - To be fair her tactical knowledge is slightly better than mine.

Was saying that to the cat last night. Every time we played the ball into best we may as well just have given them a free kick on the edge of their box. He was absolute fucking rhubarb all night and ranger wasn't much better. The only person we have with any sort of presence, who could maybe have a go at leading the line would be nolan.

Midfield isn't our main problem though, as bad as it was tonight. When we're playing the ball into best / ranger and they're always second to the ball it's like playing with 9 men. You could actually see barton losing his rag with best at one point. With them two and loven up front for the remainder of the season we're fucked!

Yes. We have NOTHING going forward. Leon Best is absolutely shocking.

Leon "second" Best is really winding me up.

I want to dislike him, i really do. But just about every time i've been to old trafford in recent years he's came over and clapped our support, despite us abusing him. One time 4 or 5 years back rooney crossed the ball into gary nevilles face, right in front of us. We erupted, even rooney laughed at him, but he still came over at the end. So i'll always sort of respect him for that, and he was a cracking player on his day.

I don't think they've necessarily got nicer buses than us mate To be honest i was thinking of my local man united supporters coach. We sometimes pass it on the motorway in our L-reg transit.

Well said, my man. This whole newcastle united thing has troubled me off and on for years. Seriously. I wanted to be a man united fan when i was a kid, told my day, he took it as though i'd told him him i was gay, so he bought me a black and white shirt. We started going to games and the rest is history. Only now i'm approaching the point where pretty soon i'm gonna have to make that decision for my child, when he / she arrives. We don't live in the toon so it's not nailed on. Most local kids "support" man united, but there's a big celtic support too. Many of my family are celtic supporters, as is the wife, and they win stuff most seasons. Surely that would be the best route to send my kid. But then i think, would i have changed anything? The away games i've been to, travelling miles sometimes through the snow, despite expecting the lads to get humped. And on the occasion they pull a result out the bag it's the best feeling in the world. Do man united fans feel as good as that when drinking cups of tea on the way home. on their nice clean 52 seat coach? I'm fairly sure they don't.

Who the fuck are we gonna get who would successfully lead the line, for £30k per week. No fucker, that's who.

No fucker.

It's Ashley calling their bluff. AC will go to liverpool tonight, Ashley's just trying to bum them.

I'm just praying that AC tells them to get stuffed.

Doing all they can to resist? Just un plug the fucking phone, man!

I'd still rather we didn't sell. Yes £30+ mil is a staggering amount, but what we have in Andy Carroll is absolutely priceless. A local kid with the world at his feet, who doesn't want to play for anyone else. This happens maybe once in a generation, if you're lucky.

Lol "2 or 3" of his grandmothers. Like he has about 6 of them.

Hadn't his lass just lost their baby, and he was trying to keep it under wraps. Could be wrong like.

He looks like he's straight out of the 80s. Sort of backs up what somebody was saying on here yesterday though, about it all being a load of bollocks. A PR stunt.
