Wullie Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 c***s who can play > nice blokes who can't. true, bellamy a prime example. however, c***s who can play and dont want to be here and force a way out are not much use to us, and cant be helped really. He wanted to be out for a reason though. It goes deeper than "Charles N'Zogbia wants to play for Wigan cos he's a c*** and that." He saw Wigan as a chance to better himself and the disgusting fact is that he's right. charles wanted out for a while, and for more than one manager, the fact he ended up at wigan im sure falls as an embarasment to him, after piping about the likes of arsenal, lyon, and villa. he made his bed and had no choice but to go wherever iyam. He wanted out to play football in his own position. He wanted out even more when we became utter wank rather than just mediocre. Nowt wrong with that.

Guest north shields lad Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 i remember when we were linked with hyppia in the summer and january. Most on here didnt want him. Besides would the following players get in our team Reina - 50/50 with Given That Insua defender - never heard of him until 2 weeks ago. Lucas - No, no one rates him Keane - not in front of martins and owen no. Benayoun - Useless. Rieria - was crap at man city, no better for the scousers Kuyt - wouldnt get near our first 11 That leaves the diver, Alonso, that masherno who wasnt good enough for west ham, agger, and carragher. Take the diver and torres (who is injured and over rated) out of there team, and there isnt much diffrence between us and them After the above gem, I have to regretfully inform you I can't take any of your posts seriously. Ever. And out of all them players mentioned i was right, reina is a good keeper but no better than given, the rest of them players are the reason why liverpool wont win the league.

Oh so you're talking about Liverpool's title challenge now? In that case I tend to agree that their squad isn't strong enough to win the title. It was your laughable comparisons with the Newcastle team that I was talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking what happened after that post and since it was a pathetic thread, but i did actually have a feeling we would get somthing that day. Everyone's allowed to be optimistic, particularly in today's climate. I'm afraid though I just can't agree with you when you say Kuyt wouldn't get near your first 11, Keane wouldn't get in before Owen or Martins, etc. It's the logic of your original comparisons that bamboozled me.

Guest quklaani Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I was arguing with a scouser (well, a fake one) I know after he made the usual tedious "amazing that somebody got a penalty at Old Trafford" comment. Anyway, I was bored enough to check this, but the last time penalty was given against Liverpool at Anfield (which was converted, there's no real way to check if anyone missed one) was in August 2007, and they got a public apology from the Football Association. Just thought that was an interesting stat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest quklaani Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Well I'm not going to pretend my utter contempt for their fake fans and my mere mild discomfort at ours is logical. That's just football isn't it, everytime you hear fans singing "we support our local team" you know there's a fair few who don't but I doubt the people next to them complain about the hypocrisy.

Yorkie Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Aye, you're right. Tbh, i've just got a chip when it comes to Man Utd fans in general. It's a bit irrational i suppose, but it comes from growing up in an area that's 'neutral' when it comes to football teams. I mean, the local sides are (well, were) York and Scarborough. The Leeds Utd shirts frittered out at around 2003. The occassional Boro one here and there. Aye there's a few fake Scousers, but it's mainly Manu shirts around my area. My best mate's a Manu fan. He's been to Old Trafford once; born and bred in Yorkshire. Yet claims not to be a glory-supporter. It just grates on me really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustynrg Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Oh well at least we have the smug satisfaction that any of our distant supporters are either exiles, relations of exiles or completely off their trolley and not glory hunting barstewards with vague connections to their place of (recent-ish) worship.

Guest quklaani Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 To be fair, there's a pretty strong trend amongst people who "chose" a football team to stick with them. Probably a lot of those fans were drawn in by Keegan's side and have stuck around. At Uni I once watched Match of the Day in a friend's kitchen and there was another lad there. Started talking to him and he was from Northumberland, was chatting away for awhile before I bothered to enquire why he was watching, I'm sure you can guess his reply. Perhaps he had a decent reason, probably one of the few thousand reds I met at Uni whose "dad was from Manchester." I just don't really see the point, but then I had the luck of the draw of where I was born. To be fair I didn't start supporting Manchester United because of family (they either don't care or are Irish) or geography (I could just as easily have been a blue) but because when I was a kid a family friend gave me this shirt: http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/images/Man-United-90-Away.jpg Hideous isn't it? But there you go. Course being round here I'm sure I would have got swept up (as most "unbaptised" kids did) when we started winning things anyway.

Guest prestonj1989 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Not sure if this has been said yet but watching the Vidic tackle on Gerrard that led to a red card yesterday reminded me a bit of the tackle he done on Martins at SJP a couple of weeks ago. At the time of the tackle at SJP I thought it could have been red because it looked as though Martins would have had a clear shot on goal. Was there much difference between the Gerrard one and ours?

Yeah, the tackle on Gerrard was a definite red and the one on Martins (if I remember correctly) was stopping a probably chance, but not an obvious goal scoring opportunity.

The commentary team I had on yesterday (can't remember who) were adamant it wasn't a red card because Rio was behind Vidic and therefore Vidic wasn't "last man". I wish the people who are supposed to be telling me about the game would learn the rules - moreso when they started going on about Man Utd losing Vidic for three games.

I know exactly what you mean with this. It's their job to know the rules of the sport surely and their inaccurate citation of the rules breeds incompetence in the people that listen and take this tripe on. I don't think it even says 'last man' at all in the rulebook... ..just checked. Nope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Brien was 10 million? What's that got to do with it? You could say has Coloccini had 8 years in the Premiership? Argentine international? Worth 10 million isn't performing because he hasn't had 8 years experience in the Premier League? On this years evidence i would rather have Titus Bramble, not even kidding, Coloccini hasn't been any better has cost us more and im sure he is on a fair wage with good bonuses. Add to the fact he has hardly any attributes to make him a success in this league, it's not about adapting he genuinely can't cope with the speed and the psychical side of the game. I don't believe the comparison with O'Brien is fair, 10 million compared to peanuts for O'Brien and the latter was in a Champions League team believe or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
