Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Considering your teams recent performance in the competition, looks like we are both out of luck and this year you won't even have the League Cup to console yourselves with

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

A draw was a fair result, a game of two halves;) . Typical Chelsea goal from a dead ball kick, Drogba with a two handed push in Ferdinands back, Terry arms all over another defender. How is that although Terry tries to take out a defender like this all the time, he only gets pulled up when he does it for England.:confused:

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

And yet we still require a point for qualification. I really am worried now. ;)

I'm sure I speak for the majority of Man U fans by saying, the league cup was never a consolation. I'd forgotten about it to be honest, until your reminder. The main aim for me, is the premiership, always has been, and always will be. Champions league, is a bonus competition as far as I'm concerned.

There's huge satisfaction in being champions in your own country, european success is just an extension of domestic success.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

I would be worried, what ever happens you have finished second in the group behind Celtic, in fact had you played them in a two legged knockout you'd be out! Not that I am knocking Celtic but they are made up of journeymen from the Championship.

As for your League Cup didn't Fergie say that the club sets out to win a trophy a season, must be going for the FA cup this year then.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Erm........maybe you should think about that one again. ;)

As for we would be out, if it were a 2 legged match, do you seriously think if it were, we would have adopted such an offensive style ? A league format is a lot different from a straight knockout format.

Every manager worth his corn, will say they aim to win a trophy a season. I'm pretty sure Fergie wouldn't have seen last season as successful either.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Yes you are right, I was assuming that you'd both win your final games, you could of course lose to Benfica and be out all together :p:

My god man - you might be close to it but your not out yet. There's no need to start that talk. At least wait until AFTER the benfica game before deriding the competition, that's what most "fans" do when they have just went out.

Although - your probably right to put a few escape clauses in just now so you can dig yourself out later.

Taken to the cleaners by Motherwell and a dodgy ref...

Did you hear we put Celtic out the cup - that makes us better than Man U dont it?

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Where exactly did I "deride" the competition ?

I merely stated a fact, I place more importance on winning the premiership. And if we fail to win the premiership, feel free to ridicule, my stance will still not change. Premiership first, champions league, a distant 2nd.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Hmm, i've had this discussion with mates and some do seem to see the "home" league as the bigger win; however IMO The Champions league is the biggest competition - the Premiership is second to that in terms of status, not that i think Man U will win it anyway.

I just wonder financially, which is bigger... (I've no idea).

We beat Celtic - they beat you - how much more logical do you want it? :shrug:

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

I didn't hang around waiting to reply to you, why, were you sitting expectantly waiting for my next slap down?

Sorry you had to wait so long, well, not really.

Falkirk don't have any Scottish League triumphs, but then i support my local team, im not a glory hunter, i go for the thrill of the game and don't expect to win the league.

You may have seen successes throughout the years from the comfort of your sofa, but i was there watching Falkirk, freezing my ass off as we beat teams when all they were expected to do was turn up and kick off before going home with nil point! I've also been there when we've been pummelled, shook my head, cursed and shrugged, but i always went back the next week.

And that my "friend" is something you will never feel, that buzz when you give someone a doing in front of their fans against all the odds, can you imagine what its like for a small team, with limited resources, never mind money, to get close to winning a cup after taking down Celtic on their patch? Oh, i forgot, they beat you in your cup...

You "expect" to win every week, if you dont - then you buy more players at christmas / the summer then try again.

If we get it wrong we cant and relegation is a possibility.

What's the big achievement with all that money you have at your club eh?

Your not a better club than any other, you just have more cash.

Bravo.

Away and support Man City... Live a little.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

FYI I had a season ticket for 14 years, until I could no longer afford it. So your "presumption" that I sit on my sofa "glory hunting" is way off the mark. If you're born in Manchester, you're either a red or a blue, simple. My father was a Man U fan, and like many other kids, they tend to follow suit of their parentage.

If that's ok with you, that is.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

United need cover for Saha, or at least someone who can jostle for his place.
I have a feeling Fergie will be in the market for a couple of players in the January window.
I suppose the favourite would be Torres according to our beloved press, and I wouldn't be surprised if Hargreaves makes the move from Bayern Munich to United in January either, but we need a proven goal scorer imo.
I think Hargreaves could be surplus to requirements though, unless a few current players go in the opposite direction, i.e. O'Shea, Richardson, Fletcher, but I don't think he would get much money for those three.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Congratulations on being the one who goes against the hundreds of thousands of Man U "fans" that dont.

I actually feel sorry that the club you love pushed you away by increasing their prices. Thats not fair after 14 years of devotion...

Apologies for getting stuck into you about it. You have to understand though that its rare to meet a proper Man U fan.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

The fact that is happening is, IMO, a sad indictment of the current state of football. It seems that all the big clubs are more interested in high ticket/merchandise sales than the actual sport.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

i've been saying for ages we have a weak squad.. if Saha and Rooney don't do it in a match then we can we bring on .. O'Shea i'm sure Chelsea were scared when they saw him come on

still seems strange we are after Hargreaves after getting Carrick and with the midfield resources we have

we need a striker as Ole is too old and Rossi is unproven and Fergie doesn't want to play him at this level himself

Richardson and Park just aren't up to it and Ronaldo still isn't the finished article yet

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

You need Hargreaves, otherwise you'll be in the same situation as you are up front, no one good enough to bring on or fill in due to injuries and Scholes isn't getting any younger.

The real problem United have got is, that they can't afford to make any mistakes in the transfer market, that's why I think they didn't bid for Tevez, if they bought someone like Veron today it would be a real disaster, hand the title to Chelsea and probably cost Fergie his job

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

How about some one who supports their team through thick and thin regardless of going to every game, when I was at school in East London there were just as many Liverpool fans as there were fans for London based clubs, I believe these sorts are referred to by your club as the 'prawn sandwich brigade' ;)

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Yeah it's funny how many people became Liverpool fans in the 80s. Wonder what the attraction was? ;) I grew up in the 80s, 90% of my friends supported Liverpool.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Well..........not quite. The "supporters" you identify are predominantly "glory hunters" the "prawn sandwich brigade" are corporate supporters. Who are killing the atmosphere's in grounds these days. There was a time, when corporate "fans" were in and around the directors box, or tucked up nicely in a corporate box, while being waited on hand and foot. Now they're all over the grounds, in pockets, but you can always tell who they are. ;)

Strange how you mention Liverpool, they are the people now who try and level the "out of town" supporters at Man U. And yet they have been doing it for decades, double standards me thinks. ;)

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Yes you are right about the prawn sandwich brigade, although where as your fair weather fan will support who ever is winning titles, they will support which ever sport is fashionable and when the love affair is over, the clubs will expect the traditional supporter to return and they will.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

True enough.

I think clubs play a very dangerous game though, arrogantly thinking fans will return when the fair weather gang buggers off. Sadly though, they usually do return. It's up to supporters to draw the line though, clubs will soon take notice when it hits their pocket. I wonder how the Glazier's would cope, if Man U's fortunes on the pitch changed dramatically. When all the corporate, and fair weather fans sod off to the next dominant team. And end up with gaps in the crowd, where everyone has left, and now support FC United.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

well living in South East london i find it amazing how many people moan at me for supporting United yet they support a team who live on the other side of the river and thousands of fans of arsenal, chelsea and spurs live in Kent anyway

i even met one bloke who followed Palace and Chelsea :Yikes: how does that work your local side aren't good enough so i'll pick the league leaders too

i follow Palace and Man U coz those were the sides Dad took me to see as a kid

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

As it should be, well perhaps with just one club ;), I have already started indoctrinating my son, we live in Bedfordshire now and he is the only one at his football club who wears a shirt different to Arsenal or Man Utd, I am just waiting for the day when the ungrateful little blighter comes home and say's he supports one of them, he'll feel my wrath on that day :D

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

You follow who you want to follow, most people who dislike Man Utd are usually jealous because of a superior history of success, but as you know (and they do not seem to realise) it has not always been that way.

United were relegated to the then 2nd division of the football league in 1974, but the club sustained good attendances during the following season, in fact I think it increased overall compared to previous seasons. (It must have been all those glory hunters :D )

But just let trolls wallow in their own mire. ;)

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

good win with an understrength side.. Eva is looking like a very good buy although Fergie needs to work out if he is going to be a LB or a replacement for Giggs as has been mentioned.. still needs a bit of work on the defending side

still not a fan of Richardson ok he can hit a dead ball ok but this isn't American football where you can bring someone on just for free kicks

the main difference between Sunday and yesterday was after we went 1-0 up we still had the ball in their half and put them under pressure so we won 3-0 instead of sitting back and letting the other team have all the ball. seems we always do this against top sides and in Europe and it always seems to cost us

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Signing Larsson isn't a good idea in my eyes - sure he's an experienced player but does this mean we're not getting a more prolific striker in on a full-time deal? I'm a big fan of Torres and hoped he would be a United player come January.

Even signing Larsson on loan makes it look doubtful we'll get him.

You have Arsenal players who go down like dying swans everytime a Spurs player comes within 3' of them, then they jump up, run and shout and then think "ay up, i'm supposed to be a dying swan aren't I?" They then go down like a dying swan again.

Don't get me started on the penalty area tackles that make contact with the ball, the Spurs players are who are onside and the Arsenal players who are offside.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

:rofl: Any spurs fans around today. :rofl:

:D Well one down one to go.

:rofl:

:D Tumbleweed anyone.

Cmon which game did you watch obviously not the same one as me today.

After watching the game at the stadium I watched again on TV for the questionable decisions.

I will agree the Chimbonda tackle on Rosicky was fair and Chimbonda won the ball.

The Jenas challenge on Van Persie was a definite penalty although the ref did miss Van Persies handball.

Adebayor was played onside by Spurs (Chimbonda).

Now taking that into account Spurs only ever had one chance from Malbronc after 10 minutes and that was their only piece of decent play in the 90 minutes.

Further more there were two other penalties that we should have had for Dawsons challenge on Ljunberg where he kicked his leg from under him inside the box and King on Van Persie as well.

Unlike the fans at least the Spurs boss was honest with his quote “You can talk about the decisions and they probably did cost us goals, but I would be embarrassed to talk about them too much. We did not lose because of them.�

well ihave to say i didn't think any of the pens today should have been given.. the two in the arsenal games weren't and Ronaldo dived a few times too and they never should have been given either

strangely even though both teams cheated they still earn points for the fair play league.. what a waste of time that is

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Do you still get the chance to get into Europe through that?

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Yes, the highest placed team that is not already in Europe gets entered into the Uefa cup.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

the top teams from ALL the European leagues go into a pot and then i think two countries are choosen to go into the UEFA Cup

it's a nice idea poorly done as you get points for shaking hands at the start of a match and if your fans clap when the other team scores you get points.. so you can do loads of cheating on the pitch and still pick up points :Yikes:

i think the only been of fair play i've seen in the past few years was when Fowler fell over the keeper when he rushed out and waved at the ref to say no it wasn't a pen and that was quite a few years ago

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Paolo Di Canio catching the ball when the keeper was injured?

But they go into the Qualifying rounds, if they get through 2 qualifying rounds, they then go into the first round proper. And then onto the group stages, if there are successful.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Ronaldo did not dive for the penalty, he quite clearly stumbled and fell, he did not make any sort of appeal, the ref blew up even before he hit the ground. It was not a penalty , but you cannot blame Ronaldo for that.

Chelsea have to catch up, which makes a change from the last couple of seasons, but they have strength in depth all around the park, where United lack strength up front. Like has been said previously, if Saha gets injured, who takes his place.
Hopefully Fergie will be in the hunt for a replacement come January. I can't see Smith being up to par in a few weeks time.

Rumours have gone quiet on the Old Trafford front regarding possible transfers, maybe because it might prevent Peter Kenyon PLC from putting in a higher counter bid whether Chelsea want whoever it might be or not :)

There might be another reason for that though ;)

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists that the three-month loan deal for Henrik Larsson from Helsingborg will be his only business in the January transfer window. (Mail on Sunday)
