Such words of eloquence that even Fergie would be proud of.:)

Nice I suppose and I guess he's fast on his way to repaying the £24m but what happens when he gets injured? We turn in to a team like Liverpool?

Slight over reaction :shocked:

Really? Where would we have been without him today? And against Fulham? I know SAF likes to start the season off slowly but teams like them and Everton we should be beating comfortably.

Relying on one of your main strikers to score goals! Whatever next...

Well it's more than that isn't it? Remember with Ronnie we'd be outplayed by lesser teams then he'd pop up out of nowhere and pull us out of the brown-stuff? That's not how it should be for teams like United.

Your point might be valid if we weren't only 3 games into the season.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 
It still is valid. We should be beating such lesser teams a lot more comfortably than scraping by like that.

Well, perhaps the 'elite' teams in the Premiership shouldn't have the attitude that they're guaranteed to beat 'lesser' teams. Arrogance is one reason a lot of people dislike United...

Nobody has mentioned any 'guarantees'. But United are a better team than Everton, Fulham and Southampton but hardly played like it.

They are still trying to find the right team , let's not forget against Everton they had two midfielders playing in defence due to injuries , Rooney and RVP played one game together then we lost Rooney through injury , I'm sure Fergie is trying to find the best player combinations.

The better teams are the ones who play better on the day; reputation & money spent have nothing to do with it.

Southampton were the better team today...

Carlo Garganese (Pundit) had this to say about a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.

Quote:

Ronaldo is certainly not in the top 50 players of all time
Quote:

I think Messi is already in the Top 10 of all time
Definitely no bias there. :rolleyes:

Side-by-side, United are a better team than them however on the day Southampton played better.

LOL. No, that is clearly just people making stuff up on Twitter. We're only three games in!
