Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Looks like Chelsea have failed Fergie's 'squeeky bum' test earlier in the season than I expected :D

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Well, we are even having to score for the opposition to try and make a game of it. The last three goals against the Reds have been two Gary Neville own goals and that wicked deflection against Villa.:naughty:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

has anyone seen a player called, liam miller (who is a celtic player) play for them ?

this report says he is a roy keane like player and man utd are to sign him :shrug:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/3379949.stm

also

Manchester United are set to complete the signing of 18-year-old Chinese striker Dong Fangzhuo.

United are expected to pay Dalian Shide up to £3.5m for Dong.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/3378641.stm

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

What, he goes in for challenges with both feet and screams abuse at referees when decisions go against him?? :D

So they're going up the Shide for a Dong....United just know how to make people larf don't they :spin:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

yes, "its a fair challenge f***ing ref" :D :D



well, all i have read about him, is that he is a skillful attacker,and a good finisher,the skeptics say its just to boost our profile in asia, they said the same thing when tim howard came along from the USA :rolleyes:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

young fletcher seems to be improving with every game now , o`shea also.....
carrot top has been awesome since coming back from injury....
just need ole fully fit and fighting for a place

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

i think fletcher has a bright future, i have seen him in the reserves prior to his senior stint, and he inpressed me.

as for o'shea well i never doubted him, first match i saw him i thought what an excellent defender, calm good on the ball can be a threat along the flanks if he plays there with crosses passes.............

and im awaiting the return of ole gunnar solskjaer, he is one of my favorite longtime players :D

Celtic Star Signs For United
Manchester United is delighted to announce that it has finalised a pre-contract agreement for midfielder Liam Miller from Celtic FC. Liam will join the club on 1st of July 2004 on a long-term contract. Liam Miller said: "As a young boy I only ever supported two clubs, Glasgow Celtic and Manchester United. I am honoured to have played for Celtic for six years and now I look forward to joining Manchester United."

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

hmmm shame we have to wait till the season ends before miller gets here

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

we could have done with a few new players today........scraped a draw having played crap against a fast improving toon team.....
a perfectly good goal dissallowed though but then again shearer should have had a penalty i think......all in all a draw was ok.
shame the gooners won though

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Spurs fans urge board to buy Butt

I would prefer to see him stay, but I can understand his wishes to move on...

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

i really hope butty stays but he needs first team football and he will always be keanos back up at united.......
he wont go to spurs because he likes it oop north.....(and div 1 looms)
methinks toon or boro...hope he stays though

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Good on ya Wolves, bout time the prima donnas was given an embarassing result!! :D :D

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

hehe its months since you posted in this thread tigasefi.....i never realised it was so long ago since we lost a game.....i look forward to your next post when we lose our next game in a couple more months.....:cry:
seriously though im gutted.....what a crap result.....wolves nearly beat us at trafford as well.....just hope the villa get a result against the gooners tomorrow.....i can't see chelski dropping any points to the brummies.:no:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Remember Deb's word of wisdom "One game does not a season make" :tu:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

It would be good to see the title race go down to the last day for a change don't you think. :)

It's been about 5 years hasn't it?

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

No defo not, I like it all done and dusted by Easter if possible

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

yup we definately chucked it at wolves......the gooners have beaten villa and we trail them again by 2 points......they are a one man team though and henry wont last the season carrying them on his back

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Looks like Saha is coming to the Theatre of Dreams :tu: BBC reports that the deal should be completed this week

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Not sure what to say :D

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Debs you beat me to it :eek:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.

Re: The Mighty Man utd.

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Sad to say, but yesterday he looked more like the grandaddy.:(

Re: The Mighty Man utd.

Can't believe you it admit it on a public forum :erm:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

yikes a scouser......welcome to the forum.....feel free to criticise the mighty man utd.....we can take it........by the way how do you rate houllier as a manager? good? bad?
:wavey:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

but we can also give out.:naughty: ;)

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

If there was a good alternative I'd be happy to loose him at the end of the season. He reminds me to much of an ex boss who was a git & I can't look at him without getting wound up. Anyway I must be mad talking about the real reds in a 25 page Man Utd thread. I might get a bit of :knock:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

hehehe
i actually like houllier and he seems to be the only manager in the last oooooh 12 years or so that has managed to get liverpool winning things....
as for the real reds bit we were playing in red before liverpool were even formed.....that doesnt matter though coz we look better and nastier in black , and the red devil badge suits us (liverpool seem to have some sort of chicken on their badge)
hehehe as i said earlier willo......welcome to the forum , we accept anybody...even scousers
:wavey:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Louis Saha will be given United's number 9 shirt if he completes his transfer from Fulham. The legendary shirt has been vacant since Andy Cole left for Blackburn in December 2001, but will be worn by the Frenchman if the move goes through. Saha said: "It's a fantastic honour to wear the shirt and I hope I can be a success like those who have worn it in the past."

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Ahh so thats who's gonna be wearing the number 9 shirt. interesting. :p

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

hmmmm i hope he lives up to the number 9 shirt......it took coley ages to earn it.
bad news about ole , latest is hes out for the season

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Anyone hear Paddy Crerands comments this afternoon on skysports after the united game.
Paddy was the guest summariser in the studio with Richard keys. After he had finished talking about the United and Northampton game, they showed the goals from the other cup ties, everton/fulham and city/spurs.
Keys asked him what City should do as they havent won a game in 16 matches. Paddy replied "Not interested, you didn`t invite me on this programme to talk about City"
It was very funny, Keys and Andy Gray looked stunned.
Paddy was a great player and I was priveleged to watch him play in the 60`s, he`s still definitely a red through and through.

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Yeah, I saw that, very very funny, nice one Paddy :rofl:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Hope we get a decent draw tomorrow, please no Gooners or Chelski :tu:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

lol no i missed that comment by paddy.......a nice away win in the cup today , fancy diego missing a penalty (we dont get many hohoho)......he redeemed himself with a goal in the end though

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

noooo debs.......bring on the gooners.......lets put them out of their misery now

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

So it`s City or Spurs for us, I do hope it`s City.
Good draw for us with Arsenal and Chelsea drawn against each other. Got a feeling it`s Uniteds year for this. I`d like to beat the scousers in the final. I bet he doesnt play the same team against city that he did on sunday though.

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

No, he'll put out the youth team.:D

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

according to todays papers sir alex has signed his contract........about time too

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

dutch striker ruud van nistelrooy, has signed a new contract keeping him at manchester united untill 2008.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/3440365.stm

well i am delighted that he has resigned, having watched him at PSV before the big clubs went after him gives me great pleasure that he can continue to play at man utd.

meanwhile sir alex ferguson has signed a new 1 year 'rolling' contract.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/3436369.stm

i hope he can continue the success he has achieved at man utd, for more then the 1 year he has signed.

and more good news, ole gunnar solskjaer is set to return in a reserve game on febuary the 5th, it was feared he was to sit out the rest of the season but he has been training for the past 2 weeks.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/3441863.stm

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

nice to see ruudy has stayed loyal........
the return of ole , great....i feared he was out till next season

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

we scraped another win against a decent saints team.....we should have gave medals out for our inept defending.....come back quick rio....

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Totally agree with you regards scraping a win but winning championships is all about scraping wins when you don`t deserve them.

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Just realised the significance of the date of the next round, if it is City then it could happen all over again, but not in Chicago this time.:)

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

i will be glad when all this crap between sir alex and magnier has finished.....im sick of reading it it the papers everyday......its about time we had some real footy news.....i see the transfer windows now closed , i would have thought we may have acquired a defender or two.

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Not looking like a local derby, Spurs 2 City O:D

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

:eek: :eek: 3-3 where will this match go :shrug:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Come on City, the St Valentines Day Massacre awaits you.:D


EDIT Spurs 3 City 4.. Come on you Sky Blues.

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

I'm sorted for a ticket for the match so glad it'll be a derby :tu:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Jammy sod... I thought City put on a fantastic display, to be truthful I have watched a few of their recent games and they have played some great football with little reward.

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

I've missed most of it as only just got in from work but wanted City to win, really looking forward to the game, do you know if it's the Saturday or Sunday yet iadom??

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Tottenham Hotspur! :grind: :afire: The biggest pile of manure(trying to be polite :) ) in the premiership!! :grind: :afire:

3-0 up at half time, a man advantage, what do you do for the second half?

You come out like all you have to do is appear on the pitch, with the game already won. :grind: :afire: Muppets!

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Its on a Saturday

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Thanks Mal, booked the day off already ;)

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Let hope City doesn't leak 3 goals first :D heheh... it ain't gonna be easy gettin' 1 let alone 4 against M** U**

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Seeing as this thread tends to be about football in general, does anyone object to me renaming it to something a little more neutral?

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

No prob Russ so long as you call it "The Mighty Man Utd & Co" :D

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

go for it ;)

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Let's see some good suggestions and the best one will be what I change it to tomorrow evening.

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

How about "Footie - The Good (ManU) The Bad (Arsenal) and The Ugly (Liverpool) :tu:

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

I think we should give due deference to the original thread starter and call it Stoke City.who?????:D

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

Very sad piece of football related news here.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/3463125.stm

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

yeah that is a real shame :( :( :( :( :(

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

lmfao debs
seriously though we seemed to have taken the original anti man utd thread and made it our own.
i think i speak for all united fans when i say we welcome all teams in this thread ...maybe nuggets villa thread should be merged with this one..we have had some good discussions and banter here for the 20 odd pages we have kept the long running saga alive....call it what you want russ us man utd lot will talk about anything to do with footy

Re: Football talk

Re: The Mighty Man utd.
 

That's alright by me - you can merge my thread and get it all into one footie thread :) .

Oh, and Atomic - don't forget that you said we could win one against your boys at some point :naughty:

Re: Football talk
 

Good news is that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a good run out with the reserves last night...

Re: Football talk
 

Oh poo! :cry: :cry: :cry:

Re: Football talk
 

Re: Football talk
 

yes indeed yesman
the anniversary of the saddest day in our clubs history......before my time but engraved in my feelings
R.I.P boys

Re: Football talk
 

i dont know much about that team but........

rest in peace

Re: Football talk
 

I remember it very well even though I was only 10 at the time, only a few months later a tragedy struck my family . My mother had a childhood illness that left her with a damaged heart, she spent a prolonged amount of time in hospital during our early childhood. She had been in a hospital in West Kirby for almost 12 months and was due to come home. My father who was aged 31, took the afternoon of work and was on his way home on his motorcycle when he was killed instantly in a road accident. My mother never did see him again and was soon back in hospital, myself and my two younger brothers had to go into care.
So whenever the early part of the year comes round and the Munich disaster is remembered it is a doubly sad time for me.:(

Om a lighter note, my mother had a plastic heart valve fitted over 35 years ago and apart from the usual ravages of time is a lively 78 year old.:)

Re: Football talk
 

Iadom, that is so sad my friend, so sorry to hear that..... my best wishes to you

Re: Football talk
 

that sad to hear im glad your with us here, sorry to hear about the loss of your dad..............


cherish the moments you are with your mother :)

Re: Football talk
 

Thanks for your kind words, time is a great healer and I am glad to say that all three brothers have been successful in our chosen careers, despite being in care.

I do sometimes get angry when something like that is used as an excuse for deliquent behaviour.

Re: Football talk
 

Your post was both tragic & inspiring, iadom. Tragic to have lost your father at such an early age and to have had to go into care. Inspiring, in that you, your brothers & your mother overcame the adversity and went on to lead successful lives.

I totally agree about what you said about using being in care as an excuse, people who do that, imo, think of themselves as 'victims', - something you & your brothers obviously rose above. Thankyou for sharing your thoughts.

Re: Football talk
 

Everton 3-4 Man Utd Phew !!!!!

And 0 -3 up at half time, it has to be the Rio factor, I must watch it tonight.

Re: Football talk
 

My heart has just started beating again :erm: roll on the derby next saturday :tu:
