The Manchester United Thread

[Tutankhamun]

I'm trying to figure out how many game winning goals Wayne Rooney has scored this season. But I'm having trouble finding any statistics. The Premier League website is pretty bad. Anyone have those numbers or know of a website where you can check the results and the scorers?

Sure feels like Rooney is on some kind of record when it comes to game winning goals. Incredible how many it feels like he's gotten.

Must be quite a few, big shout out to lionel evans for the assist :-)

Wait, was this the United game with the dodgy refereeing decision in it? A few episodes seem to be very similar.

Wait, did Mario not stamp on Parkers neck? Then win a penalty, which he took and scored? :snicker

[yourmumsface17]

In other knews, a guy by the name of Liam Stacey has been jailed for 56 days for sending racial tweets to Muamba.

Massive Deterrent there, seems crazy you can be jailed for so long, just for a tweet, what if someone hacks you? However, it may have taught the brat a lesson.

One thing I also don't get it, Terry will get a fine, this guy gets jailed, what's the difference? I guess the argument is that Liam incited racial hatred, and Terry didn't?

Cyn, your a jabroni,

We all know it was a pen,.

Imma let some of this shit slide in here, thread is too hard to mod, do NOT take the piss though.

Oh and newcastle pen against us and we shouldve had a pen in the 1st half last night.

Do one


Even if United fans people disagree with Cyn's opinions he did nothing wrong for a football thread.. his language was fine compared to the language/manner of responses. For actual rule breaking.. DC trolls for fun here daily but people enjoy it and we don't want him punished. (well maybe a few in this thread do)

Imo please don't start moderating opinions which don't break rules on football threads now... partly why people enjoy these sections. Arguments are to be expected really it's football.

Why threaten a member in a football thread with your mod powers really... I know you are a United fan but come on..

The reason for the hostile response for Cyn last night was because he kept posting claiming United get all the decisions, stating facts but never backing them up, then there were facts posted here, which were ignored and he continued to claim he was speaking the truth. That's obviously going to anger fans when he basically ignores our responses to his claims of facts. He was obviously here to wind up as he quickly changed the subject to bring up a dis-respectful cover from a United fanzine.

It's perfectly fine for other fans to come in here and post your opinions (I enjoy the discussion with others) but United fans will respond, there was nothing wrong with the response from United fans last night who continued to reply to Cyn's claims of facts with facts of our own all of which conveniently ignored.

[Tutankhamun]

All right, looked at all our games in iFooty for iPad. Wayne Rooney has 7 game winning goals this season thus far in the PL and one in Europe.* That's fantastic. Imagine all the points we'd not have if that wasn't the case!

*Obviously, I could have counted wrong somewhere but I don't think so.

[Firefox]

Never saw this before... Boring in the beginning BUT he takes fan questions a bit in so those are interesting.

I encourage other fans to come into this thread, I love a good debate or conversation about football; however when it's just inaccurate specualtion, with absolutely no proof of their facts, then that's what grinds everyones gears. It makes it even more annoying when you prove them wrong and then they just ignore it :lol: It's the equivalent of when someone owns you in a debate and they simply reply "So's your face" :lol:

[Firefox]

That's what I mean though it might be annoying for you but why moderate really unless it really goes out of hand like that whole Liverpool beef a while back.

Anyways the fan questions start from 16:15.

Monday, March 26, 2012Top soccer boss in Medjugorje “as a pilgrim” (http://crownofstars.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/roberto-mancini-manager-of-british.html)
Roberto Mancini, manager of the British soccer club Manchester City, has arrived in Medjugorje today for a three-day pilgrimage, staying at the Grace Hotel, just 100 yards from St James’ Church.

After arriving by private plane in Mostar this morning and then completing the 25 mile road trip to Medjugorje, Mancini headed straightaway to the Hill of Apparitions saying, “I have come as a pilgrim.”

Mancini’s team is neck and neck with rivals Manchester United in the English Premiership as the season enters its final group of games.

The Premiership championship is set to be decided on the last day of the season, April 30, when the two Manchester clubs meet at the City of Manchester Stadium, home venue for Mancini’s team.

The 47-year-old Italian has managed a number of top soccer clubs as well as the Italian national team for ten years.

Mancini is in his second season with Manchester City, now reputed to be the richest soccer club in Europe after being purchased in 2008 by the Abu Dhabi United Group.

• Tonight, rivals Manchester United beat Fulham 1-0 to move three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premiership table. Both teams have played 30 games but City has a slightly better goal difference.

I honestly don't know how you can have a beef here. From what I read yesterday - no United fan broke a rule.

[Firefox]

Tut.. why do you always read things as against you. :lol: I was saying no one did anything wrong and that it's a part of the threads and moderating shouldn't be there unless it goes out of hand which it is far from being.

Was in response to the threatning Cyn by a mod.. all I was saying was he nor anyone in this thread did anything wrong. Even DC does nothing wrong.

Well, I get annoyed when 33x gets attacked without a reason. I get what you are saying about moderation but we've been told several times it won't work like that. This section isn't immune to the general rules of the forum. I don't particularly fancy it either but it is what it is. If you want to change that blaming 33x isn't the right way. I don't like United fans getting mobbed in here, it pisses me off.

[Firefox]

Not blaming 33x directly I know he's just doing whatever he was told but he can choose to ignore it you know. ;) Wouldn't say mobbed I mean it was just dc and cyn who you disagreed with and had arguments.

Anyways my bad for dragging the issue just didn't want anyone to get banned or infractions so I just brought the issue up again.

[Tutankhamun]

Apparently Gotze has extended his contract until 2016. Not getting him then.

[Firefox]

No.. that just means the clubs willing to spend big will get him. So not us for sure.. so United/City/Chelsea/Madrid/Barcelona and we all know he won't go to City so yea there you go.

There is also Bayern Munich but Gotze would never do that.

I will reply to this whilst holding my tongue.

DID YOU EVEN SEE WHAT I GAVE HIM A WARNING FOR? I TAKE IT YOU DIDNT. Cyn was lucky to get away without as he came in here and TROLLED!

Also, if i was a c***, i could now warn/infract you for insorbindation. Callin out a mod in public? When you couldve just PM-ed me?! Naaaaah!

What part of my post is threatening anyone? my line about saying imma let shit slide was to EVERYONE, meaning as this thread is hard too mod, imma let some stuff go, but dont think anyone can take the piss with it!!

You have no idea what lengths myself and dc have gone to get summit sorted for this thread, as going by the rules, i could infract most of you! But i dont as i dont feel its fair as this is FOOTBALL!

and saying a jabroni?! U really found that insulting?

[manutdfan]

Its funny how people always come in here when something goes Uniteds way and start bringing up all sorts. You don't see many people posting in here to applaud United.

[mankind]

True, it just shows how people are jealous of United.

[manutdfan]

Success brings jealousy!

My multiple-time edited post mess which hopefully makes you relax and at the end of the post makes you understand that I never was saying anything negative about you.. and that you could have simply posted that I misunderstood you as personally telling Cyn instead of being angry:


I just meant DC trolls here all the time and we laugh about it and let things be.. and Cyn's troll wasn't even on the DC level either on the scale or frequency. :lol:

I am sorry you are very angry at me and think that I have done wrong somehow? I never called you out personally I said you were only doing yourjob and that "hopefully you could ignore it ;)". See my post to Tut.. those were my exact words.

Relax there 33x.. you are taking my post too personally I said you were only doing what you were told as a mod in the later posts and you took it personally probably because of that one word "threaten" which I meant like a warning to Cyn.. I never meant that you were doing anything wrong (read my later posts) or painting you in a negative light.. you yourself are interpreting it like that and getting angry...

Saying that you'd give an infraction because I called out a mod? I didn't even freaking do that.. again you took that post personally and if you read my post to tut I said you are just doing your job and that I just meant I didnt' want ppl banned.

You are making a mountain out of a molehill from a misunderstanding..

Just relax I didn't mean to make you angry and was not calling you out at all.

[dc89]

WHOA! Don't bring me in to it lol. To be fair, the United fans know how to take me on here. I talk to some of them on Twitter and I'm perfectly rational. And I think that's back up with the fact I do not get reported.

[Cyn]

I posted the link yesterday evening: http://www.debatabledecisions.com/tables. The bottom table is the most interesting, the net result of wrong decisions, judged by 5 people who all support different teams. ALL the big teams are in the bottom half, with teams like Stoke and Bolton the runaway leaders. Just shows what I always suspected, refs generally like to give the advantage to the smaller sides.

That debatable decisions site is good for what it does but it is limited and is not run in the correct way to get their point across properly. Although in their disclaimer they themselves admit it's not perfect and should not be taken as such. They only cover the big decisions in either box, disallowed goals, pen's etc. They do NOT cover decisions all over the pitch. I assure you that if they did, Man U would be up with Stoke. The stats I posted which all of you conveniently ignored does a better job of it as they cover every decision and they have covered 21 of man U's games this season - 23 of Chelsea's, 21 of City's for comparison. If you don't like the fact it's an old fart Arsenal fan and his colleagues doing the research then the football is fixed (http://footballisfixed.blogspot.co.uk/) blog comes to the same conclusions.


Cyn, your a jabroni,

We all know it was a pen,.

Imma let some of this shit slide in here, thread is too hard to mod, do NOT take the piss though.

Oh and newcastle pen against us and we shouldve had a pen in the 1st half last night.

Do one
Oh look the pet mod has come running. which one clicked his fingers? When you say "let some of this shit slide", what you really mean is, let the shit from the United fans slide. Jabroni huh? Funny that, I just got a warning for a phantom insult, but this looks suspiciously like a real one. Fancy that, coming from a mod too.

I didn't come in here trolling so you can stop that bollocks right now, you lot were already talking about it.

You's should stop jumping down Firefox's throat every time he tries to post a reasonable response by the way, just make yourselves look worse. He's one of the few nice guys on here ya know. FF mate, don't bother with these, not worth it I told you before ;)

FF wasn't calling you out three3-times, I am though. Absolute joker. Go on ban me, see where that gets you as you'll have no reason to. Although that probably won't stop ya will it

^ Lol! ;)

No reason to ban you son.

I'm sorry mate all of these blogs have absolutely zero credibility. The debatable decisions site posts raw facts, these blogs interpret and twist facts. I'm not even going to read the Arsenal blog, just as I haven't read the 7Cantona or something blog. They're worthless for unbiased views. The footballisfixed blog, well the name says it all, they start from a mindset that it is fixed and view the stats from that point of view. Equally worthless. I've read some of the posts and all I can say is: "Correlation does not imply causation". Classic mistake. Extremely amateurishly and fan-ishly written as well.

You have no idea how much perception changes your view on things. Would you believe that I genuinly feel United are hard done by in the smaller decisions all over the pitch after almost every single game? You probably wouldn't, and yet I can say a 100% earnest that's often how I feel. When it probably isn't true. Exactly how I feel watching City or whoever the title rival at that point is, that they get all the decisions. Exactly how you, and loads of others feel when watching United. The truth is somewhere in the middle. All of our memories are very, very selective.

But you can continue to give us zero credit for our successes and come up with these wild conspiracies if you like, just don't try to argue them in this thread. We've heard it a million times before, we simply aren't interested. If that's all you're going to do in here, I DO suggest you just don't bother. It'd be better for both parties if you didn't.

[Tutankhamun]

Was it 2010 Drigba scored the winner against from an offside position which in turn won them the league? Should have paid the ref more that year.

If you haven't read the Arsenal blog then how do you know all it does is twist facts? It's no less credible than the debatable decisions site (apart from not being unbiased, which of course it's not in terms of Arsenal, but I haven't mentioned Arsenal treatment from ref's once as it is not the place), they both take solid data and turn them into tables, charts and graphs. It's not worth reading for their opinion but the pieces about referee performance and fifa are very much worth reading.

I don't agree that perception changes your view on present events. Sure memories are affected in this way, but not the right here right now. It's the same sort of thing as when tired old windbags say "these things always even out over the course of a season", when it is proven they almost never do.

I don't remember ever denying credit where credit is due. Ferguson is the best manager ever, he knows how to win the title better than anybody in history and you have had many fantastic teams over the years. Your teams also have the much coveted trait of being better than the sum of their parts. My problem lies in the way in which a team that is so good gets so much help from match officials time and time again (and this is clearly something we are never going to agree on because no matter what I post up as proof you'll never accept it) when they are already one of, if not the best team in the land. I feel exactly the same way about Barcelona in Europe. They are already the best team in the world, they don't need these handouts from referees

[Metal Warrior]

Was it 2010 Drigba scored the winner against from an offside position which in turn won them the league? Should have paid the ref more that year.

Yes, 2010. The season in which Chelsea's match winning goals in both games against us were caused by blatant foul play (a non-free kick follwed by a couple of fouls in the area allowing Terry to score and that Drogba offside). Chelsea got the rub of the green in those games, but no one will claim they weren't worthy champions - we didn't either in here at the time, despite our frustration.

Edit: sigh, Cyn, Don't make this out as if I'm denying something in the face of overwhelming proof. What you consider proof quite simply isn't proof.

[Tutankhamun]

Last season, Rooney was suspended for saying "what fucking what" making him miss the FA Cup game against City. Which in term weakened our team substantially causing us to get knocked out. Should have paid the FA more that season.

[manutdfan]

Yeah people seem to ignore the fact that we've had some go against us also like the Chelsea ones that have been mentioned.

Also it hasn't really been discussed the penalty yes it should have been a penalty and we got lucky there, but we deserved to win that match. The ref is looking at the incident from behind, the ball goes to the side as Murphy falls over so it looks like carrick gets the ball.

Also I don't get where this pet mod business comes from I've never gone running to him or reported anything to him.

[Metal Warrior]

The ref is looking at the incident from behind, the ball goes to the side as Murphy falls over so it looks like carrick gets the ball.

Yeah that for me was key as well. While the decision remains incorrect, you can't be too harsh on the ref in this case. I know that will sound a bit easy coming from me when it worked to our advantage, but I've always maintained that you can't give a penalty unless you're 100% certain. This was very difficult to see from the ref's perspective.

Incidentally that's also why I'm still extremely angry about the lino's call on Rio's tackle against Newcastle. That was blind guess work which is unacceptable in the first place, and to result in such a shambles of a decision just made matters even worse.

[manutdfan]

Onto the next match now another Monday night game against Blackburn live on Sky sports 1 HD kick off 8pm (GMT).

So when we posted articles, we posted biased ones, but when you post Arsenal articles and "football is fixed" and the first thing I see is the words "Howard webb" and "Man United" that isn't biased :lol:

I will never ever agree with the bolded, it's a small minded mentality to say the big teams always get the decisions, because they don't, I agree that it often looks that way, and it really often does, Sky and the papers don't spend an awful lot of time talking about how the big sides are hard done by, and who can blame em? Is anyone gonna care that United have had more home pens against them than any other side in the Premier League? (Par WBA off course) Are they fuck! I swear every time I see a decision against United all I see everywhere is JUSTICE! When United get a decision (even a correct one) all I see is people talking about how United have bought the ref :lol:

I think to some extent we all do it, I often find myself getting angry at Barcelona (Uefalona :lol) because it is easy when you want to see them lose, to forget that when the other side gets a decision they might often get unfair ones.
Another thing that might be worth touching on, is that the side that attacks more is bound to get more decisions, the top sides are generally in the box more and off course are going to be fouled more; however I am sure you will ignore everything I say, and state we are ignoring the evidence or whateve (A bunch of subjective, ABU BS, but whatever.)

Lets just not deny it anymore... Webb.. he's our man!

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/397911_306209709428421_190050664377660_823802_1942 003111_n.jpg

Here he is singing our anthem

BTW does anyone remember the Chelsea game last season Webb reffed, he was fucking abysmal, gave Chelsea all sorts of decisions, we probably should have had 2 pens and Ivanovic should have gone, despite his poor performance we won, thankfully :D

[manutdfan]

Also 3x isn't biased on here he banned United and Liverpool fans a while back, Myself included.

[Tutankhamun]

Last season the FA suspended Sir Alex Ferguson several times for comments made about referees, both negative and positive. Gill's checks must have bounced.

[yourmumsface17]

Oh yeah he got fined for complimenting a ref :lol: I seem to remember Ancelotti made pretty similar remarks, but escaped punishment :S Strange one.

[santinomarella]

I saw a statistic on SSN yesterday which showed penalties teams have conceded at home since 2006, United have conceded 9 but there were teams like Chelsea and Liverpool among other who have conceded less penalties at home. So if anyone ever wants to say you never get a penalty at OT it would be more truthful if you said you never get a penalty at Stamford Bridge or Anfield. Yet another statistic which disproves a lot of childish stereotypes about United.

But at the same time why should we care? Is it our fault if a referee give us a decision in our favour? NOPE. FA should be hiring and training better officials if the current ones are not good enough, it's not our fault if referees don't have the quality to get decisions right. The reason people get so angered is because people actually believe it is our fault, people actually believe we pay off referees and the FA and referees are working with Sir Alex. People believe that the FA want us to win all the time so do anything to help.

The truth is, that if we get a decision in our favour it is nothing more than a refereeing error, not a conspiracy. If we get 100's of decisions in our favour, it is 100's of refereeing errors, not a conspiracy. People just like to believe it is a conspiracy. Maybe it makes them feel better when United win again to start claiming conspiracy's.

That vid that FF posted proves why Neville is the best pundit right now, him and Dixon are excellent, Neville's analysis is very good; however he isn't a very good colour commentator yet, in my opinion, Neville is far to belittling to foreign teams in the champions league, it is kind of annoying, maybe Sky have told him to be like that, who knows? He should stick to the studio where he is excellent, and I have seen Liverpool and City fans agree, which is the biggest compliment I can give :D

[manutdfan]

Yeah Neville is quality was good to hear him talking about Ronaldo on Monday night football. His favourite Ronaldo goal for United goal was his header against Roma away.

[three3-times]

that was a bullet header of a header, he rose so high and went in so hard, he was hurt for about 5mins afterwards

his best goal for me was porto away........saynuttin

[yourmumsface17]

Oh man that goal was too good, I can't believe he actually shot :lol:

My fav Ronaldo goal was Arsenal away UCL semis, the counter attack.

Manchester United enjoy refereeing 'advantage' - Vieira

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/57741000/jpg/_57741563_danroan.jpg By Dan Roan BBC sports news correspondent
Manchester City executive Patrick Vieira says title rivals Manchester United benefit from preferential treatment from referees.
His comments come two days after visitors Fulham were controversially denied a late penalty (http://www.psu.com/sport/0/football/17519700) in their 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford. (http://www.psu.com/sport/0/football/17425659)
The result left United three points clear at the top of the league.
"When United play at home they get some advantage that other teams don't get," Vieira told BBC Sport.

“When United play at home they get some advantage that other teams don't get”

Patrick Vieira

"I think when you go to United, Madrid, Barcelona, or Milan, when the referees referee these kind of games, it's always difficult to go against these kind of teams.
"This is the way it is.
"It's something the teams who are used to winning get all the time, so we need to win games so we have this advantage in the future."
With eight games left, City find themselves three points behind United, but Vieira - who took up a post as football development executive at Eastlands after retiring from playing - believes they would be worthy champions.
Speaking at the Soccerex conference in Manchester, Vieira said: "This is our moment.
"Since the start of the season we've been the best team and played the best football.
"I believe the club deserves it."
However, Vieira also admitted that United are in pole position to claim a second successive title.
"When you are first you have the advantage, they are favourites" he said.

Vieira recently said that United's decision to bring Paul Scholes out of retirement was a sign of weakness.
In response, Sir Alex Ferguson accused City of an act of desperation (http://www.psu.com/sport/0/football/17488481) when allowing Carlos Tevez to play despite going on strike.
Vieira said: "We're glad Carlos is back. The quality of these kind of players will be really important at this stage of the season.
"The issue was between him and the club. The players were really pleased to see him back.
"Its important not to lose focus, so many things can happen.

Fitting a former Arsenal legend spouting this crap, are you Cyn in disguise? :lol:

What a load of nonsense, City are 2nd because they deserve to be there, quite simple really.

A good time to try and influence the ref, however he is shitting on his own legacy it seems, how the hell is he an ambassador for City ffs, he's an Arsenal legend, how has he wound up being City's famous mouth piece who speaks trash?! Surely he has enough money?!

He has played 32 of his 651 games for City.

So Whether City finish first or second, are they moral champions?!

[santinomarella]

I think Vieira is obsessed with us. :lol: Talks about United more than City.

He gave Giggsy the ball and Arsenal won fuck all. Vieiraaaaaaa

Rio responds.

[Metal Warrior]

This being his second comment in a very short period I think everyone can just about smell the desperation coming from their camp. Either that or it's just Vieira independently being an attention whore. Surely such a claim should result in some sort of sanction from the FA, not that it would matter because all they could do is fine City or something, and I doubt they'd care. :lol:

Anyway, he's making a bit of a tit of himself.

I absolutely love Viera as a player.. he's a legend but after retirement I have no freaking idea what he's doing... first of all working for City and second being some sort of PR mouthpiece for them.

It's PR... but bad PR that is going to bite them in the arse when they have the media retort his claims.

Viera... what on earth is he doing at City .. always thought he'd be assistant to Arsene. :(

The difference being one gets paid by their club and one doesn't... If I were the City board I'd fire Veria. He brings nothing to the club, just drains energy laying your energy on the refs. But it is good for us if City is focusing on the refs and Scholes instead of focusing on winning.

Like I said before.. there is no way City will win.. you can just sense it in their team right now.

Why United don't get preferential treatment, despite penalty let-off against Fulham

Statistics provided by Opta confirmed only West Brom, with four, have conceded more penalties at home this season than United, who have given away three, blowing out of the water the argument about preferential treatment.

The reason I posted it was to show that if United are always getting favours off referees, I would have expected a much higher count of penalties for us. Where are our extra penalties ref!?!?

It is a boring subject though, but when people are saying negative stuff about United I will back them up if the proof is there. Based on recent replies over the last few days there a lot of evidence there to defend United.

Sir Alex Ferguson today hit back at Manchester City development executive Patrick Vieira by insisting Manchester United are not leading the title race because they get favourable treatment from referees.

Vieira suggested yesterday Ferguson’s side are reaping the benefit from favourable decisions at Old Trafford.

The former Arsenal captain’s comments came following United’s controversial 1-0 win at home against Fulham on Monday night when referee Michael Oliver failed to award the visitors a spot-kick in the final minute despite Michael Carrick appearing to trip Danny Murphy.

However, Ferguson dismissed Vieira’s outburst and claimed City have had their fair share of good fortune during the season too, using Mario Balotelli’s stamp on Scott Parker before scoring the winning goal against Tottenham in January as an example.

The United manager said: “Every club gets breaks here and there, you get good ones and bad ones. It evens itself out over the season and that will never change.

“We had a terrible decision earlier this season when Newcastle got a penalty [after Rio Ferdinand had fairly tackled Hatem Ben Arfa] and Tottenham could claim the same when Mario Balotelli wasn’t sent off and ended up scoring the winning goal. You could go through millions of things like that. Maybe smaller clubs feel that [decisions go against them when they play big clubs] but someone said some years ago that we get lots of penalties.

“It is only averaging out at three a year. You can’t say that is a lot when you are attacking teams all the time.”

Talking about the penalty incident in the win against Fulham, Ferguson added: “From the referee’s position, I can see why he didn’t give a penalty when Danny Murphy was brought down.

“The ball moved to the angle as Carrick challenged him. From that position, it wasn’t clear.

“It was a good claim but City could have had a penalty against them at Stoke [for a Gareth Barry challenge on Glenn Whelan].”

Pretty much what we have said.

[Tutankhamun]

Fergie - We have upper hand

Whilst in jovial mood, Ferguson even joked that United could bring back Roy Keane - Vieira's old on-field rival - to once again go head-to-head with the Frenchman.

"We can bring Keane back if he wants and make it interesting," said Ferguson.

Step aside Pogba - is this young midfielder the future of Man United?



http://www.talksport.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/ts_magazine_big_picture/Daehli%20logo.jpgMats Moeller Daehli has been singled out as one for the future at Man United



talkSPORT takes a look at another bright prospect in the making at Man United…
WHO IS HE?
Young Norwegian midfielder Mats Daehli has been labelled one of the club's most exciting prospects and, starring in an academy that has produced more than its fair share of first team players over the years, he's in good hands.
THE NITTY GRITTY
Name: Mats Daehli
Date of birth: 02/03/95
Place of birth: Oslo, Norway
Position: Midfielder
Club: Man United
International honours: Norway U-15, 16 and 18 international
FIVE FACTS
1) Man United signed him in July 2011 from Norwegian club Stabaek, beating off European clubs Bayern and Ajax to the 16-year-old's signature. Reports first surfaced of United's interest in Daehli in November 2010 and he signed a professional contract on his 17th birthday.
2) The Norwegian has demonstrated good awareness, vision and passing, plus close control when running with the ball. Daehli can play through the middle and on the left and right of midfield, too.
3) Following an outstanding display against Charlton in the FA Youth Cup, which the United youngsters won 3-2, Daehli was promoted to the reserve team. He got his chance to shine when he came on for Ezekiel Fryers (http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/players/p106603/ezekiel-fryers) in the 1-0 defeat to West Brom (http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/clubs/t35/westbrom), with the appearance coming days after his 17th birthday.
4) He is part of the Man United FA Youth Cup side that are bidding to become the first Red Devils (http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/clubs/t1/manutd) team to win back-to-back FA Youth Cups since the Busby Babes of the '50s that dominated the tournament between 1953 and 1957. However, first they will have to overcome a 2-1 first leg semi final deficit against Chelsea on 13 April.
5) He was included in the Norway U18 side for the first time in late March 2012 and put in an assured performance against Serbia in his country's 1-0 win.
WHAT'S BEEN SAID
They say:
“An exceptional talent with superior technique.” Stabaek coach Pal Berg
“He is on a par with the greatest European talents in his age group.” Former Man United and Norway striker Ole Gunner Solskjaer

In the form United are in I just don't see us dropping many points. I can easily see us hoping unbeaten for with a draw or two along the way but I have a hard time seeing us losing one.

I don't think anything was stacked against United.. I predicted they would win in the Prediction thread and most Arsenal fans looking at the quality of their bench and even midfield with Cleverley (yes got injured) and Carrick. (especially strong wing) with figures like Valencia (good he's fit) predicted it as well.

They had a really really strong team (much more than ours) which people were doubting for some odd reason .. even their own fans.. remember the complaints in this thread. :lol:

Was incredibly funny seeing Newcastle, founded by Liverpool buying Carrol, beat them. What a badly managed organization.

lol cool story bro. im not even gonna get into this. all i wanted to do was to come by and pay a compliment but you love trying to goad me into it.

[Firefox]

A lot of teams have done questionable things in the past and Manchester United particularly did so physically in the early 90's why bring it up..

Well unless you are talking about a team like Stoke who are literally classless booing a player they injured and many of the other stupid things they've done to other teams.

[Tutankhamun]

I really think De Gea benefited from having competition from Lindegaard, that's why I believe it is important to have competition for spots. It pushes the players to perform and train harder each day to keep their spot. I'm confident some other GK's we've signed over the years with potential would have fared better with competition.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/apr/03/manchester-united-ferguson-title-challenge

totally agree with this


them five points clear of Manchester City. Photograph: Peter Powell/EPAIt is not an easy thing to keep count of Sir Alex Ferguson (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/sir-alex-ferguson)'s trophies over the last quarter of a century at Manchester United (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/manchester-united) but once they have all been carefully added up – 37, if we are going to include the Community Shield – it is difficult to think there have been many more gratifying than the one we can say, with gathering certainty, looks like coming his way at some point over the next month or so.
Not the most dramatic, perhaps, and not the most glorious. His team have won more devastatingly in the past, with a faster tempo and a more obvious sprinkling of stardust. There have been times when they have provided up to half a dozen contenders for the Footballer-of-the-Year awards and made the art of winning football matches look considerably easier, whereas this season they have frequently left the sense of a team playing with something to spare.
It has felt like a churn at times, though maybe only because a club that has made such a rare form of excellence their norm is always surrounded by the greatest expectations. The fact is Ferguson's team are on course to set one of their highest points totals, as well as establishing a club record for the number they have accrued away from Old Trafford. They are 18 points clear of an old enemy, Arsenal, and 23 from another, Chelsea. Liverpool have all but disappeared in their wing-mirrors, 34 behind with fewer than half the goals scored. Manchester City (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/manchestercity), more relevantly, have been on the wrong end of a 10-point swing in the space of a month. Through the fog of despair, the most financially endowed club on the planet can have only grudging respect for what United are threatening to show them about the powers of endurance and strength of mind that come a lot more naturally for serial champions.
What we have now is a United side playing with such purpose and drive, and a City team that suddenly appears so broken, one bookmaker announced on Tuesday they were paying out on the reigning champions. If there is a consolation for City, it is that the same happened in 1998 when United led Arsenal by 12 points only to go into a tailspin that saw them caught and overhauled. This time, however, there is no sense of a team on the point of capitulating. If anything, United are simply gathering momentum, with seven wins on the trot and a fixture list so weighted in their favour the coming weeks threaten to be traumatic for the team five points behind in second place.
On current form, it is not beyond the realms of possibility United could actually win the league, or receive the guard of honour, when they visit the Etihad Stadium on 30 April. Ferguson, below, was noticeably reluctant after Monday's 2-0 win at Blackburn to talk too much about these kind of possibilities, determined not to say anything that could be construed as overly presumptuous. There was something telling, though, about his victory salute at Ewood Park. It evoked memories of the time, in 2003, he walked on to the Highbury pitch to pump his fists towards the away end in the midst of one those epic title battles with Arsenal.
Another side might have wilted after October's 6-1 mauling against City, the club's worst home defeat for 56 years. Nemanja Vidic has not played since rupturing knee ligaments in December. The announcement about Darren Fletcher's ulcerative colitis came the following week. In total, 15 players were missing through injury or illness at one point. Michael Carrick lined up in United's defence when Blackburn, then bottom of the table, won 3-2 at Old Trafford on New Year's Eve. December was also the month United paid the price for a series of anaemic displays in the Champions League and January did not begin too brilliantly either, crashing to a 3-0 defeat at Newcastle. That night, at St James's Park, it scarcely seemed credible that United would be threatening to confirm another championship before we even reached May.
This is why, to return to the original point, it is shaping up to stand among Ferguson's finer moments, certainly in terms of perseverance when City have been exceptional for the most part and this, to recap, is meant to be a transitional year for United, with a large changeover in personnel. In football, transition can be used as an excuse at some clubs. At United, however, they prefer the alternative, which is to roll up their sleeves and get on with it.
What we have seen since those back-to-back defeats against Blackburn and Newcastle is a victory for all the mental toughness, resolve and competitive spirit that runs through the club. United have won 10 of their last 11 league fixtures, including trips to Arsenal and Spurs. They now have 12 wins and 39 points from 16 away games, with three left to beat their Premier League best of 42.
David de Gea, dropped after his mistakes in the home game against Blackburn, is rapidly becoming one of the season's good-news stories. Jonny Evans has played with an assurance and presence that had not always been apparent until Vidic's misfortune offered him an extended run. In fact, some of United's better performers since the turn of the year had been subjected to fierce scrutiny in the first half of the season. Carrick has won back the trust of many United supporters, whereas Ashley Young's recent form has significantly improved after a lean spell in mid-season. Rafael da Silva is, once again, showing rich promise, Patrice Evra's form picked up after the Luis Suarez affair ended and Rio Ferdinand has reminded us what a supreme defender he can be when free of injury.
At the same time, Wayne Rooney has taken his scoring total to 28 while Paul Scholes has shown since coming out of retirement that he, like Ryan Giggs, can play another season. Antonio Valencia has gradually become the key player in this season's title race, now alongside City's David Silva with 12 assists each. Valencia, however, has played 750 minutes fewer and it is his form that encapsulates United's increased confidence just at the point of the season when City have started to lose their way. Thirty-eight passes went into the move that culminated in Young scoring from just outside the penalty area against Blackburn on Monday. No other goal in the Premier League has had such a build-up all season, and yet the outstanding memory was still the power and audacity of Valencia's shot to open the scoring.
This may not be a great United side, as demonstrated in Europe this season, but they are great champions and, from here, with three games coming up against QPR, Wigan and Aston Villa, all from the bottom six of the league, the 38th trophy of Ferguson's 25 years in Manchester does not feel far away.

I remember I actually was at Villa Park at a game last season, and I remember Young diving to get a freekick, which they scored with and won 1-0, I wonder if he did this in a Villa shirt any of you would care?

I also remember Adam Johnson taking a similar tumble earlier in the season (I completely forget which game, I wanna say Bolton at home) Would you like to have him branded as a cheat?

So get off your God damn high horse, no one here condones diving, if you look back I have said I don't like his diving and want him to cut it out, I can admit when my player does something wrong (Could mention a certain premier league player but I am going to avoid a shit storm)

Young may have made the most of it but he was free from the last defender and then it is a red and a penalty. The assistant should have seen he was offside though.

But no it is not the norm at Old Trafford, as statistics since the Fulham game have proved.

[squirrelbo1]

I wouldnt say its the norm (well not this season) but there is a saying "theres no smoke without fire" you guys do seem to have a reputation for getting lucky with decisions. This is probably down to teh fact that you are always under the spotlight, so a bad decision in a game between stoke and Norwich or something is forgotten the next day, but EVERYONE remembers bad decisions given in united favour. Spurs across the line for example. (that was like 7 years ago, could have been last year how well its remembered).

[yourmumsface17]

There was contact with Young, but still no need to go down.

Jamie Redknapp is hilarious, why don't they mention decisions that go against United? Neville is a magnificent pundit, Redknapp just jumps all over it, he loves sticking the boot in :lol:

The statistics prove that United don't benefit from the refs more than anyone.

You make a great point with the Roy Carrol incident, i mean there was a similar incident with Bolton only a month ago and everyone has forgotten it. Is anyone gonna remember that Valencia could have had a penalty? Are they fuck! Is anyone gonna remember United could have had a penalty in the game we beat Blackburn 7-1 in last season? Nope

Why? Because Man United win, it's as simple as that! Who is gonna care that United had a decision against them? (The amount of times I've seen that and people just say "Oh well it is justice" :lol: is hilarious)

Barcelona are suffering with it now actually, they got a few dodgy decisions at the Nou Camp and I saw all the usual Uefalonas :lol: etc etc (Hey, I have been victim to it, I have often been annoyed at Barca getting decisions) but what people forget is that they should have had a pen at the San Siro. People don't see it because, well they don't want to, they want to see Barca (Or United in this case) lose so their views are slanted.

..but lets not listen to reason, United (Club in huge debt) are bribing refs as opposed to City (trillionares).

Exactly. Majority of United games are always on TV so that's going to put them in the spotlight a lot more that the smaller teams. Its also why saying the big teams always get the decisions is wrong too, because all the big teams have the majority of their games on TV so are in the spotlight more. United, Cheslea, Arsenal, City are all on TV more than Wolves, Wigan, Bolton, Blackburn etc...

[manutdfan]

If your the team that's attacking and playing all the football there's a great chance your going to get the decisions, because your getting into attacking positions and dangerous areas. Plus having a lot of the game and ball, coming forward etc.

1. As much as I hate to admit it, Nevile is pretty good pundit. But rednap is awesome as well.

2. For this season. There have definately been stats in teh past that show you had more penalties at home than others. I'm not saying there is a conspiracy but that stat is only accurate for this year IIRC

I could also show you stats that show that if the ref was 100% right in decisions that he gives United would actually be better off. (Off course it isn't completely accurate purely because you don't know what would have happened if the ref gave decision A in favour of team A, but you get my point :lol:)

Like MUfan above said, it's no suprise the most attacking team in the league gets a lot of pens :D

Dc, is it true Silva isn't starting today? He has gone off the boil quite a bit hasn't he.

[smiggy]

Yep :D

Such insecurity.

[santinomarella]

Such insecurity.

:lol: Slightly obsessed with us aren't you.

[squirrelbo1]

That was the presumption.


Don't think it was. All he wanted was an admission that you knew you were lucky.

[yourmumsface17]

Such insecurity.
Yeah, alright bro.


EDIT: The fact that Carrick won't go to the Euros is an absolute joke and a travesty.

[smiggy]

:lol: Slightly obsessed with us aren't you.

Clearly, responding in the only active football thread on the forum to a guy i was having a conversation with. Screams obsession, right? :lol:

If you are that interested in football, why do you only post when you can express your negative views of United? Your never here a Monday against Fulham..

Pretty much this, all of us here are football fans, and we all love a good football conversation, we even love to interact with the rival fans (As long as it's something sensible :lol:)

Hey I love any excuse to whip out a 5 paragraph post (usually ignored, but meh :P ) :lol:

On another note somewhere... Patrick Vieira's head has exploded

*Puts on Arsenal glove and scarf*

Not watching the Arsenal - City game. Can't be bothered, don't think it will impact the title race anyway.

Apparently United's GD is already 10 better than last season, a great compliment to both United and City.

Silva out with an injury for City

[three3-times]

sigh, we scored a 2nd so the 1st is now a moot point,

Annoys me how an incorrect decision that favours United suddenly becomes so much worse than any other incorrect decisions..

He has a iffy left ankle. He's carried a knock for weeks.

[three3-times]

please guys, please tell me you can admit that was a horrendous decision and young dived?

I'm looking forward to the media printing back pages with young's face on with the words cheat below. The media like to brand players with one word in this country, remember suarez?

But no, they won't, it's old trafford and its the norm.

deal with it!!

11 OR 12 weeks now, but you cant afford to rest him, left it too late to rest him now

[santinomarella]

Did he get the injury the same way as Aguero?

This isn't up to date, but United are still well at top. Just wanted to make a big shout out to the squad rotation and how well it has been done for United, Sir Alex has to be the best at rotating his team and making it work, the only time it all went to shit was at the end of December; however in general he has done a marvellous job of marshalling the ridiculous injuries United have had.

[santinomarella]

Considering we have been so good without Vidic is fantastic!

[yourmumsface17]

95% - Paul Scholes completed 114 of his 120 pass attempts today. Only 3% of those went backwards. Playmaker

I know the stats are flattering as it was largely against a 10 man side, so he was under no pressure. Still incredible stats.

testament to our defence...............i fully expected us to b dead and buried that night in basle.

Hoping vida can come back STILL as the best CB in the world

Evans has become the man :)

United started with 7 British players on the pitch, and 3 came off the bench for us. :D

[yourmumsface17]

Lmao anyone hear the commentary in the Arsenal game? "What's happening, we have no sound" :lol:

[santinomarella]

Oh my :lol: Vermalen clears a RVP header off the line. haha.

Cheating has no place in football. And that goes for any team or player.
Disgusting tackle from Ballotelli :lol: (Not sure if that comes under cheating, but I just wanted to post it.)

[squirrelbo1]

Song was lucky to walk away from that. Shocking tackle. If the rangers player was sent off Mario should be gone too

c'mon arsenal...!! stick it to the city scum!!!

[Metal Warrior]

Song's knee could've been completely fucked there, an outrageous assault really by Balotelli. Disgusting.

[yourmumsface17]

He may get charged retrospectively as the ref took no action..? (Is that how it works?) <br />
<br />
City really need to get shot of Balotelli, in the papers too much and barely justifies it on the pitch,...
