Guest quklaani Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Man Utd's clean sheet record is nothing short of astonishing. And embarrassing... for the rest of the league. To go so many games without conceding is obviously testimony to their defensive quality but also perhaps testimony to the cowardice of teams and managers in general when it comes to playing them. When we went to Old Trafford we had a go at them and put them under pressure, not many teams do that even on their own ground. And you're still the only team to get anything in the league, since the start of last season we've played 30 games at home and won 27. Almost everyone seems to come to Old Trafford expecting a pummeling, when really we tend to be winning quite narrowly. Exactly two teams this year at Old Trafford have really gone for it, yourselves and Hull, and you're the only teams to score. I'm worried that at some point people will notice this fact... So, Villa's next game is Chelsea, if they win does that mean the league has officially gone insane this year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fraser Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 One of the things about being in the position we are now is that I can appreciate Man U for what they are, a great team. I don't even mind Ronaldo too much but am extremely jealous that Carrick (named after a great baker's) is there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Just one remarkable stat regarding Giggs. His goal today means he's scored a goal in EVERY single season of the Premier League since football it started in 1992. That's ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE5 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 todays games I wanted West Ham to lose, although its a shame they didn't score and stop that defensive record. I also hope they are ordered to pay Sheff Utd 50 million quid, and see Martin Samuel's fat face on Sunday Supplement telling us how unjust it is.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I wouldn't say he's the second best player in the world, but he's probaly the best defender (If you can even call him that). He definitely stagnated during his last year or so at Sevilla, so it is pleasing to see such a talent back on his top level. Chelsea should have just pumped out the extra 9 million or so to get him instead of that useless Boswinga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a brilliant footballer and is probably still just as effective as Giggs or Scholes are. The tragedy ( ) with Beckham is that he's often underrated as a footballer because of his "hollywood" status. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 He's one of those players who knows how to play to his strengths. His last few years for England (since 2004) he was a real liability a lot of the time. Used to hate him. Now he's only a bit part player for England have come to appreciate him a lot more.
