heheheh gawd the night a united thread starts and im away at the game and it takes me longer to get home than the stoke fans coz i dont live in manchester and i had to stop for some prawns on the way home.
yeh the b team lost to stoke who played better
barthez is crap and we have replaced him
the grass may be perfect to stoke fans but at united we have real mowers to keep the pitch the best in the uk instead of billy goats munching away at it in an attempt to trim it but most of us can take a loss in a friendly game without crying.

lol - Your tone suggests your embarressed
Stoke had the pitch replaced last season, and re-seeded during Pre Season, The only difference to Man Utd's pitch is the dimensions
barthez
o'shea
silvestre
forlan
djembe
bellion
butt
Im pretty damn sure they play in Manu's First team
PS - Stoke played a reserve/trialist team, It even lacked shape, and didnt have a specific formation.

yeh whatever
we may or may not lose against bolton but we will win the league again this year.
bolton killed off arsenal for us last season and on a good day they can beat anyone but......one win does not a championship winning team make
thats why boro fans cant remember any game they played since boxing day

Nah we never do, Bolton always beat us it seems lol! They really are our bogey team.
In case anyones interested the stats are...

Anyway it looks like it may be Keane in defense with Djemba make his premiership debut.

Of course you could also say that Barthez kept us in the hunt for the league last season with a couple of amazing saves.

Mixed really, He started out at right wing, and he wasnt effective at all, lacked width. He then moved central and showed how commanding a figure he can be
