Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Got NO idea what that's got to do with the current discussion, but hey!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Erm everything, because it shows no matter much money you throw at a team it does not mean that they can go and win a cup like they should have!!!!!HAHHAHAHAHA,
They were a load of tosh and they had ample chances at goal, but they could not do it. Scholes wants a good smack for missing that penalty!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

A load of tosh??

You either did not watch the game or do not understand football?

I'm assuming it's the former :disturbd:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Actually I did, I sat and watched it with Paul and I do understand football. Just face it Man U were a load of ********, I love u Man U fans you cannot accept defeat!!!!!! You are all like Wayne Rooney!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

No - if you'd watched the game you'd have known that United completely dominated the game, we kept the Arse under pressure. Read any news report - here's one for you, just to make it easier. Read the 4th paragraph down, it says....

Also try the first paragraph here. So I assume you didn't really watch the game. I would never suggest you know nothing about football of course...however if you want to argue with the sporting journalists' views then go right ahead....

You don't often hear of teams being 'tosh' yet still dominating. The problem was RVN missing 3 great chances to score.

Unless of course you're one of those types who support lesser teams and have little else to look forward to other than United losing?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Erm no. They were all over them yes, but they couldnt break the wall that Arsenal had put up, I just think Man U supporters are the worst at losing things. Just accept it and move on. I do hope I am not going to have this twoddle all night as I cannot be bothered, asI still feel like I am driving the car!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Break the wall??? :rofl: :rofl:

Now I KNOW you didn't watch the match!!

United had 10 shots on target to Arse's 3.

United had 11 corners to Arse's 1.

I think I can see why you're not bothered to carry on!!!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Erm no we came home yesterday, you cannot accept that they lost you big girls blouse!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Just to make it easy for you as you obviously missed it, taken from post 3474...

I can accept we lost. You do not seem able to accept reality - we dominated the game and were let down by poor finishing. Disagree if you like but have a read of the sports news - if you can show me a report which disagrees with that then you're a better man than I :D

I'll tell you what, wait til the papers come out tomorrow, if you can show me any which agree with your 'notion' then I'll step down immediately :)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

look I did 400 miles yesterday without a stop. And your words are kind of swrilly now!!!!! And I do not read the demon press, and I did not read mes post as you jumped on me, over the BORO!!!!! Long live Steve Mc C!!!!!! Oh I forgot he came from the Man U camp!!!! Didnt he!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Hey.......it's only a game.......not like it's life or death or anything......... ;)
Both teams (in fact all the teams) will get another chance next year!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

:confused:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Sorry Paul, it wasn't directed at you, just certain other fans. ;)

I was just replying to your quote about utd fans losing in dignity with a dig at someone else at the same time ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

what amuses me is all this ( we / us ) , as i idly wonder how many ppl here are man u share holders :D :D :D , as stated earlier , it is just a game ;) :D :D :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Not me, but what that has got to do with the price of bread... :shrug:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Ditto?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

How's about TOTALLY missing the point?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

sorry , just my weird slant on things , why is it always we/us when at the end of the day it is just something that ppl like to support :confused: , it is not life and death is it , although some ppl seem to think it is , ok , so if it really impacts their lives then great , if it does not then so what , i will go and get my nomex now :disturbd: :D :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Don't worry about it too much, you seem to make a habit of it ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

:redcard: Arsenal:sniper:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I suppose we should take solace in the fact that the Arse have only beaten us once in open play during the last 9 times we've played them :)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Yep, and he will be heading back quite soon ;)
I have a feeling he might be in the hot seat at OT after Fergie.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

If you say so. ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Good to see Ronaldo feigning an elbow with 30 seconds left to play.

Agreed but you didnâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t.

:D

Well it did and the team who put 5 in the net won.

Never mind as he will be on Glazers sell list.

:rofl:

[QUOTE=Russ D]I hate penalties :grind:

Well he scored his.

Cough ahem I think you meant to say Lehmann made a brilliant save.

No thatâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s right United usually win after 94 minutes.


No need for the welcome back as I have been here all along.

As for Scholes and Ruud I think they go straight to the top of Glazers for sale list.

Oh yeh next seasons Man United Buccaneers.

.
That with Man U lack of ability to score you mean.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

As I said above Man U Buccaneers.

Also says it all really they could not put the ball in the back of the net legally in 123mins of open play but eventually lost to a team that could put penalties away and a goal keeper who could save one.

Agreed

Yep United were all over us and bad finishing from your so called top class strikers were to blame but on the flip side top goal keeping and resilience kept us in it.


Because prior to kick off both teams agreed the roof would remain open.

See above.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

For today only I am a Motherwell fan and hope they absolutely hammer Celtic (and that Rangers win as well OFC)

Probably not going to happen but fingers, toes etc. are definately crossed.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I would have put Smith on insted of Vanistelroy, Smith and Rooney work better IMO. Vanistelroy has been a yard off the pace since his injury last year. Someone said yesterday how many goals has Vanistelroy scored from outside the area?? I had to think about it it's none.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Oo, I like a challenge:

2005 FA Cup - 0-0
2004/5 prem - 0-2 away, 2-4 home
2004/5 LC - 0-1
2004/5 CS 3-1
2003/4 FA Cup 0-1
2003/4 prem 1-1 home, 0-0 away
2003/4 CS 1-1

That's your 9, with one win for Arsenal and 4 draws and 4 United wins. However, Arsenal have won the FA Cup and Premiership in that time (against 1 FA Cup) and finished above United in the league in both seasons, thus proving that it counts for ding dong all. Arsenal's record v. United hasn't been too hot lately, but it hasn't needed to be.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Swapped loyalties to Chelsea have we? Interesting....

So, all in all, you're agreeing that I'm right? Gee thanks...

Anyway, welcome back to this thread! Hadn't seen you around over the last few months, your presence seemed to wane from around when we beat a certain record - but you're back now, right when Arse win something...and that's all that counts, yeah? :)

I cannot agree that Arse were resilient (seems like most/all of the sunday papers are with me on this, plus Sky, BBC etc) as it was some great goalkeeping and abysmal finishing which kept the ball out of the Arse net. Oh, and a linesman's flag which called for an offside which wasn't interferring with play. But still, the result stayed the same.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I'd agree with you if he was a long way from the ball, but he was within a few yards of it and I think the possibility that the other Utd player could have squared it to him is "interfering with play".

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I don't think he was that close to him - it was fairly obvious (not just to me, also in the Express and Mail) where the ball was going to be played.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

think the cup final yesterday was a good picture of us all season.. had loads of chances and dominated the match yet we oinly tested the keeper a few times and just couldn't get the ball in the back of the net..

don't think pens is the way to win or lose a cup final.. after tossing the coin to see who goes first they might as well of just tossed it again to see who won..

still well done to arsenal on beating us.. with the team they had available not very adventerous tactics but not sure what else they could have done..

shame about giggs.. he deserved to start on the bench but think about this.. you are playing in your home town,, it's a cup final and you started on the bench.. surely that is motivation enough to get you fired up.. not if you Giggs it isn't i'll just take my 90 grand a week and then go on holiday

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Not if the boro can help it, he has done wonders for that team, when people bitch about him I cannot understand, look what happened when we were under Robsons spell, bugger all.
Still feeling sore russ! Its only a game!!!!! Wait till glaizer gets hold of it!!!!!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Gotta love the well :)

I'm happy.

Congratulations to Rangers. Scottish Premier League champions!!!!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Real Madrid last night admitted they want to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. Real boss Vanderlei Luxemburgo is even considering converting the Manchester United winger, 20, into a striker. That would push Michael Owen down the Bernabeu pecking order and could pave the way for a swap deal. Luxemburgo said: "Cristiano is a very strong kid. He plays on the wing, but could play a bit more as a striker. He's a great player. But signings are something we discuss internally. You always have to be careful."
