[Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season

[gazzae]

Oh ye all of little faith.

I reckon Utd will win on sunday, so much so much so I've put £40 on at 10/1 for a 2-1 win to Utd.

[sherer]

things aren't looking good for United at the moment... was at the Blackburn game a few weeks ago and even though we lost you could at least say we created chances and were unlucky to loose that one.. since then we have had the dire games with City and Liverpool and the rubbish of the past few games and really gone down hill.. have to say I agree with Keane and do most of the fans.. loosing and playing well is something I can take but loosing and playing like that is something else

As I said a few weeks ago things are so bad at the moment we now have a chant of "Attack Attack Attack" that shouldn't be happening and we are barely playing as a team at the moment.. we need a whole new midfield and Rio to start living up to his price tag and weekly wages.. can't see that happening at the moment and looks like the curtain is starting to draw down on the great United team from the 90s.. the new team Fergie is trying to create while it has some world class players, Rooney, Ruud, Heinze also has alot of dead wood, Flecther, Miller, Bellion, and even Scholes and Giggs are now past it

Off to the Palace v Sheffield United game on Sat anyway.. no AJ but hoping we can put in a decent performance.. this is the game where we have to show we are real title challengers

I agree, remember talkin bout this other day; we do need a restructure of midfield thats for sure, but january/july i just don't see who we are gonna get!

i would love to see ballack and graveson two workers! we also need another Veron/Beckham type player that can deliver killer ball into ruud,rooney, which added to ronaldos pace and ability to get into box with stepovers we will have more options for supporting attackers.

looking around maybe obi will become a provider i ve heard hes more attacking midfield than defensive.

has anyone heard the rumours or freddy adu for £4m in January???

[sherer]

i've heard about Feddie Adu but I don't think we can sign him yet under FIFA law.. he is only 17 and don't think he can leave his region until he's 18

the player i'd like to see if Mescharano from Argentina.. seen some clips of him and he's just like Roy Keane.. play him with Ballack and we'd be laughing.. not a real fan of Graverson but looking at what we got at the moment he can't do much worse

the problem is we never replaced Beckham.. Ronaldo isn't really a winger and still hasn't learnt that in England you need to stay on your feet more.. doing 15 step overs is great but unless there is an end product and a killer cross and pass into the box it's a waste of time.. too often with Ronaldo after the step over the ball has gone or when it does come it's rubbish

oh i agree i believe i could shoot or cross better than ronaldo!!! he is rubbish at it, but surely with time he will learn. Graveson was excellent in premiership' he was real worker. and thats what we need in midfield.

First-choice Paul Robinson should begin the match as Eriksson is expected to name a strong line-up.

No wonder the odds are that good, I have just read this amazing statistic from the Beeb.............

The 1-0 eclipse of Aston Villa on 20 August is United's only home League win this season.

Good luck with your bet Gazzae

The actual odds for a Utd win are 7/4. I got a price of 10/1 as I'm prediciting the final score.

I've got a nasty feeling that the only thing that'll wake us up this season will be an absolute thrashing by Chelsea - and I can see it happening.

[sir_drinks_alot]

Poor Hearts haveing this guy for a manager he Couldn’t manage his way out of a paper bag the guy's that bad.

Hearts set to name Rix as manager

Just a thought, but I hope that Gattuso & or Ballack will sign for United in January

thoughts ?

One for the Arsenal fans
