Anyone remember the goal Sparky "scored" when he was playing for Southampton?

He hit a cracker which went flying into the net, hit the advertising hording right behind the net and came flying out again, the ref played on.

Losing Giggsy is what cost us the win. He could be out for 6 weeks

don't remember it but i remember the Dell ground with the very short nets behind the goal so doesn't surprise me.

Loosing Giggs would have been ok if we had some depth in the squad.. Bellion isn't good enough for Man U and I don't think he ever will be. We only have one striker now in Smith.. DOn't know why Rossi or someone from the reservers \ youth team hasn't stepped up to the first team if we are short of strikers..

Although Giggs has been playing well over the past few games he still missed a one on one with the keeper against Bolton and what about all the other games we have played since 99. It just shows he hasn't been performing and at his age is prone to injuries which is why he should only get a one year extension

Self centred the lot of you

Just think what Spurs fans must be feeling like, they must feel like they were mugged last nite.

I thinks you need a new keeper in Jan give 'boro' 2 million and you can have one

and 15 mill for Mr Downing as a replacement for Giggs

gazzae · 05-01-2005, 11:59

We have no need for a new keeper, we are covered in that area.

Here is a question - How many league games have Man Utd lost when Carroll has been in goal.

i think you will find that ferguson wants a new keeper and will be doing his level best to get one in Jan, as he has no faith in the 2 you have and last night would of reinforced that view i have no doubt!

How do you know that? Are someone who Sir Alex confides in? Or are you just going on quote less media reports?

Carroll has only ever lost two league games for Man Utd. Nothing wrong with that form.

Schwarzer has made mistakes in the past, ever keeper has, what if he is signed by Man Utd and he makes a mistake, will we go and look for someone else to buy?

We need to stick with our keepers, Carroll and Howard are perfect for us, we don't need anyone else. I'm sure Fergie knows that and thats why I'm pretty confident no keeper will be purchased in January.

Russ · 05-01-2005, 13:51

Keepers make mistakes just like any other player. Decisions like last night's happen, we can't argue over it too much although had it gone against us in a game with someone like Chelsea then I'd probably be furious too.

sherer · 05-01-2005, 13:52

i must abit i'm not very confident when Carroll's in goal. yes his stats are very good but then hehas one of the best defences in the league in front of him. Any keeper, even Spironi the ex keeper at my other club Palace, would have a half decent record playing behind Rio.

I think we do need a keep and Carroll showed last night he isn't a number one. He's made quite a few mistakes, the one he made last night was not trapping the ball and then passing to a teammate, he then compounded that by not getting his body behind the ball.

Howard is a good keeper and just needs to learn how to deal with crosses and corners better.

At the end of the day if you want to win thorpys this season you need a new keeper

I don't care who you get i would like you to get Mr Jones from brook street rather than 'boros' keeper

but i will leave the utd fans to their thread

Love to know how you work out that we need a new keeper to win trophies considering we won the FA cup last season with Howard and Carroll.

And the premiership in 2003 with Carroll.

They are going to have to do something about that groundskeeper though
