NOT APRIL FOOLS JOKE (its still 31st here...)

but here is an update

SOURCE (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=764215&sec=england&cc=5901)


Sprained ankle rules Rooney out for up to four weeks



Wayne Rooney is expected to be out for two to four weeks after spraining his ankle in the closing moments of Manchester United's 2-1 Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich.

Wayne Rooney had scored the opener against Bayern Munich after 64 seconds


Rooney turned over on his right ankle in the build-up to Bayern Munich's injury-time goal and the England striker now faces up to a month on the sidelines, though he will face a scan to discover the extent of the injury. He is certain to miss league matches against Chelsea and Blackburn, as well as the second leg against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford next week.
But depending on Rooney's period of rehabilitation, he could miss the home clash with Spurs, the Manchester derby against Roberto Mancini's Manchester City and both legs of the Champions League semi-final should United overcome their first leg deficit.
Rooney is United's leading goalscorer this season with 34 goals, almost three times as many as second highest scorer Dimitar Berbatov, and Sir Alex Ferguson will now be heavily reliant on the Bulgarian striker to lead United's line - with youngsters Mame Biram Diouf and Federico Macheda the club's only other forward options.
England coach Fabio Capello will have been morw worried than most at the extent of Rooney's injury, given how vital the striker is to the nation's chances at the World Cup..
He said: "I will speak to him on Wednesday or Thursday morning. I was not happy, but I'm not happy whenever any England players get injured. It is too early to say how badly he is injured. We need to wait for a scan.''

[R3D D3V!L]

Fuuuuuuu - he's going to miss the derby isn't he?

[three3-times]

Rooney out for 2-3 weeks

Sir Alex Ferguson expects Wayne Rooney to be out for two to three weeks.

The manager gave this estimate to MUTV in an exclusive interview, prior to Good Friday's press conference. He also said, with reference to the World Cup, "The nation can stop praying now!"

At the media briefing itself, Sir Alex said that "everyone else is okay". Not only that, but long-term absentees John O'Shea and Owen Hargreaves have been training well enough to be considered for substitute berths against Chelsea and Bayern Munich.

More news from the press conference will follow later. The video will be available to view on MUTV Online from Friday afternoon (BST).

Apprently him or John O Shea are in tomorrow and the other in on wednesday, bad news to be honest its to early.

You know this how?

I trust the Man United medical team thank you ;)

[Tutankhamun]

Apprently him or John O Shea are in tomorrow and the other in on wednesday, bad news to be honest its to early.

It's mind games, they wont be in the lineup. Hargreaves might but not O'Shea.

[mankind]

What about anderson? is he still injured? I would take him and drop carrick as he has been playing poor lately.

[yourmumsface17]

Andersons season is over! :( Yeh Carrick was awful midweek, I wouldn't play him tomorrow, start with Giggs and Fletcher in midfield like last year but with Park just in front of them.

...I'm a bit nervous now, but we must believe!

COME ON UNITED!!!

EDIT: I hope we win in controversial fashion today after the game at Stamford Bridge, I hope someone drags Malouda to the ground in the box and no pen, Drogba to be clean through on goal, offside flag goes up wrongly, we get a dodgey freekick, then Rooney can drag Alex to the floor as the ball goes into the bottom corner :cool:

Can you tell i'm a bit bitter about that game still? :lol:

[Aizen-Sama]

Come on United!!!

Lets all believe everyone that we can do it. Believe in the team, believe in Sir Alex, believe in the coaching staff, believe in the fans, believe in the club, believe in Old Trafford and most of all believe in Manchester UNITED!!

Lets win today and make this title ours!

[Metal Warrior]

Even if we win the race wouldn't be decided yet. Same if Chelsea win. The winner will get a nice boost but both still have some tricky away fixtures. A draw would give Arsenal another sniff. Getting a bit nervous here ...

[Demiant]

I think if Chelsea win, it's still wide open but they have a slight advantage. If we win, I think we're very high favourites to win it. A draw and it'll be wide open for both teams AND Arsenal.

I'm all nervous now. :(

[santinomarella]

Can you tell i'm a bit bitter about that game still? :lol:

A controversial win would be good, and unlike last time fans of other teams will be quick to voice their opinions (bitterness) about our win. Continuing the trend to moan when we have luck and not care when it goes against us. :roll:

Drogba also out today. :o

[yourmumsface17]

Nothing will be decided today remember that guys..

United have more than enough in their arsenal to beat Chelsea, Rio and Vidic are back and we do look better with them..

COME ON UNITED

I'll just post what I posted on Footy Forums, cbf typing it again:


LINEUP:

Neville Rio Vidic Evra
Fletcher Scholes Giggs
Valencia Berbs Park

Wtf, both Scholes AND Giggs? Just f*cking great, play the two players that are most likely to lose the ball and have a friggin' heart attack on the f*cking pitch and don't play Nani who's been good recently. Ugh.

I really hope Fergie proves me wrong, but I'm not liking our lineup and don't think it's capable of beating Chelsea.

I fancy that lineup, we need some routine in the lineup, Scholes and Giggs know how to win games! Nani is a nice sub to have, I see him coming on maybe 60 minutes in.

EDIT: I'm f*cking pumped!

[Tutankhamun]

Well, it could have started better :(

[yourmumsface17]

Why in the blue hell was that NOT a pen!

[santinomarella]

Well it seems Chelsea have gotten more luck against us. :roll:

[yourmumsface17]

Deserve **** all from this game

[Tutankhamun]

WTF, is up with the ref?!?!? We had two plays that should have been a penalty! Also we got two yellows... Chelsea gets all the decisions.

[yourmumsface17]

WTF, is up with the ref?!?!? We had two plays that should have been a penalty! Also we got two yellows... Chelsea gets all the decisions.

The Berba one wasn't a pen for me, the Park one on the other hand...

[Demiant]

Lol, this is what happens when you play Giggs & Scholes in midfield against opposition that don't give them ANY time on the ball, meaning they're completely useless at their age.

Bring on Nani for Giggs and Carrick for Scholes and let's try something different than just passing it to Valencia and hope he whips in a good cross.

[Tutankhamun]

The Berba one wasn't a pen for me, the Park one on the other hand...

Yeah. Anyhow we need to get better, maybe get Nani on instead of Park?

[Metal Warrior]

Deserve **** all from this game

This. United are looking for a loss and we'll get one. I have to question Fergie's tactics here. What's he thinking? This is a drab effort all-around.

[desolationw]

Drab, uninspiring and pretty much **** all round.

Can't complain about our two bookings, but Terry fouled Berbatov and then kicked the ball away and got nothing. Thought Park should have got a penalty.

I think Nani should come on now, and with Scholes already booked I can see him getting sent off so maybe he should be taken off. Move Giggs centre and maybe he'll play a bit better otherwise he'll be replaced by Carrick, who will have to get his finger out after the last few games.

We don't deserve anything from this game so far, hopefully the hairdryer will waken them up.

[santinomarella]

I don't think Berba works well in 4 5 1, which is worrying because of games against City and Spurs where we will likely play that way. :(

[Tutankhamun]

I can hear it from here, can you? Yup that's defiantly the hairdryer!

[Metal Warrior]

I don't think Berba works well in 4 5 1, which is worrying because of games against City and Spurs where we will likely play that way. :(

Oh please. Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs and Valencia have been dire in the first half, that's not Berba's fault.

[yourmumsface17]

I have to question the fitness of the team, we always do absolutely **** after european games and I don't understand why, most other teams don't suffer like we do after european games.

I would also like to question why oh why this game was Saturday lunchtime aswell.

United have just been terrible, so frustrating to watch a game after a european tie and time and time again United are just abysmal

[santinomarella]

Oh please. Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs and Valencia have been dire in the first half, that's not Berba's fault.

Did I blame Berbatov? no.

Everyone has been awful this half, this was something I was worried of before the game.

[Tutankhamun]

I would also like to question why oh why this game was Saturday lunchtime aswell.

I think that has to do with security, less drunk hooligans.

[yourmumsface17]

I think that has to do with security, less drunk hooligans.

Lol what? explain please.

[Tutankhamun]

Lol what? explain please.

The metropolitan police or what you english call them want's "high profile" games to be early so they can control the crowd better. I've have a distinct memory of reading that somewhere.

[yourmumsface17]

Typical just typical, how can u not see he was offside HOW!

fousfnAEOI;FHIOREWAO;HIUGNOIROGIRINOGFA

thats me smashing my head against the keyboard

CONGRATULATIONS LINESMAN YOU HAVE GIVEN THE TITLE TO CHELSEA

[Tutankhamun]

That was clearly offside. Game over though and that means league over.

[dc89]

Tut, you are wrong. It's only game over.

The time to say the league is over when you lose to City in 2 weeks time.

[Tutankhamun]

I don't care what anyone says, Macheda SHOULD ****ING PLAY EVERY DAMN GAME FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON.

[santinomarella]

Tut, you are wrong. It's only game over.

The time to say the league is over when you lose to City in 2 weeks time.

No, winner today will go onto win the league. Win lose or draw against City and it won't have any affect if Chelsea keep winning.

[desolationw]

The metropolitan police or what you english call them want's "high profile" games to be early so they can control the crowd better. I've have a distinct memory of reading that somewhere.

Exactly. Same in scotland. If the games are early then the fans won't be wile drunk.

[smiggy]

Are they still playing?

[DangerousMali]

you guys look average without rooney and non lethal, i wish we played this side at the emirates

[yourmumsface17]

Game over :(

[yourmumsface17]

Proud of the 2nd half effort from the boys and took a offside goal to win

[santinomarella]

100% better in the 2nd half, delighted for Macheda to come back and get himself a goal, just a shame the linesman failed and Chelsea's goal stood.

[bigdec]

That's it boys Prem lost, but seriously we should of had at least 1 penalty out of the 3 shouts and there second goal? I mean lines man are you actually serious, we should of won they didn't deserve it.
What makes it worse is knowing Mike Dean and 2 lines man killed our season.

[Tutankhamun]

If Nani and Macheda would have started we would have won. Now we need help to win the league and I'm not that sure we'll get it :(

[clean515]

and dont forget the clear penalty to Anelka too. I only saw one penalty to Man UTD (the one where Park i think it was ran into a defender).

Not surprised of uniteds fans selective memory.

Jesus because Nani made 2 good runs Mechada got a lucky goal we would of won if they was on all match? No we wouldn't of we would of won if we had decent lines men and a decent Ref. Don't forget they came on when everyone was tired and making mistakes, if they started it wouldn't of made a difference.

It would, Nani had tremendous energy and Macheda is a natural scorer. I would be very surprised if Macheda isn't a regular next season. Rooney and Macheda on top.

[santinomarella]

Ignore him, he's just one of those fans that enjoys it more when United lose than his own team winning.

No it wouldn't of, If Nani started he wouldn't of had that energy at the end and because Macheda scored again doesn't mean he would of bagged two.

[Aizen-Sama]

Oh well. I believe we still win the league. Bring on the next bunch of games.

This will go down to the last 1-2 games of the season.

It's a right season.

Big scoring game from arsenal this aft I hope. They're ten goals behind Manu. Four points atm.

Chelsea still have to go to Anfield. You watch, it'll be the only time Liverpool have played well all season :D

Ignore him, he's just one of those fans that enjoys it more when United lose than his own team winning.

No it wouldn't of, If Nani started he wouldn't of had that energy at the end and because Macheda scored again doesn't mean he would of bagged two.

Come on, you could clearly see Nani's pace with and without the ball. I have not always been a fan of Nani but the kid has heart. I'm a officially a fan now, take note yourmumsface ;)

That is just typical of all fans, only notice the decisions that go in United's favour, there is never any mention of decisions that go against United.

[Molo316]

That Drogba goal was clearly offside. Poor decision from the linesman.

[clean515]

Also is your selective memory only seeing one of our penalty shouts? Not seen we outplayed them the whole of the second half. Not seeing the 10mile offside

I dont care about your penalty shouts. There was only one penalty to park. The "hand ball" from chelsea in the area wasn't there. His arms was close to his body and it hit his shoulder more than anything.

No idea what other penalty you are talking about. I watched the whole match.

[Tutankhamun]

That Drogba goal was clearly offside. Poor decision from the linesman.

Yup, it's a "f*cking disgrace" to quote the ugly Chelsea player.

[bigdec]

WTF? Get out of here you ***** how does it deserve a goal just because it was a good finish it was miles offside **** off.

Wow I think this is the quickest time ever that I've overcome my after match loss depression. :lol:

Relax and prepare for the next match? Do you not see we've just lost the Prem and on Wednesday we lose the CL.

[bigdec]

Oh ye and not forgetting the game st SB,
Valencia was denied a penalty against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
Rooney was incorrectly flagged offside 1v1 at SB.
Chelsea's winner at SB was from a free kick that wasn't a foul, Drogba fouling Brown and Drogba being offside.

[santinomarella]

Fergie summed it up well, need quality officials for big games.

[Bostonmess]

WTF? Get out of here you ***** how does it deserve a goal just because it was a good finish it was miles offside **** off.


It doesn't. I was just having a laugh :D

That's the way the cookie crumbles though.

I remember a long time ago, Leeds playing Manu and Viduka crossed it to Smith? He pulled the ball back and the linesman gave offside as the ball hit the net. Leeds dropped points and Liverpool took the champion's league position off 'em. Start of the slippery slope for Leeds that :D

Anyone want a video ref?

I used to think it'd be a good idea but maybe not.

[yourmumsface17]

Oh ye and not forgetting the game st SB,
Valencia was denied a penalty against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
Rooney was incorrectly flagged offside 1v1 at SB.
Chelsea's winner at SB was from a free kick that wasn't a foul, Drogba fouling Brown and Drogba being offside.

Mate theres no point arguing, they will never acknowledge United often get hard done by.

Come on United! It's not over till it's over guys!

[clean515]

Fergie summed it up well, need quality officials for big games.

Yeah how come there wasn't the 7 min Fergie time today ?

[bigdec]

It doesn't. I was just having a laugh :D

That's the way the cookie crumbles though.

I remember a long time ago, Leeds playing Manu and Viduka crossed it to Smith? He pulled the ball back and the linesman gave offside as the ball hit the net. Leeds dropped points and Liverpool took the champion's league position off 'em. Start of the slippery slope for Leeds that :D

All it could do is solve these decision what do we lose by bringing it in? Of course they should introduce it.

Just proving we got hard done by at both games.

[bigdec]

Yeah how come there wasn't the 7 min Fergie time today ?
Ye, I'm sure that happened against City, when we was losing and in theory there was actually 7 minutes more to be played after the sub and goal celebration from Citys goal so you can't even disagree with that. also when we was beating Loserpool there was 5-6mins added on nobody said Rafa time did they?

[yourmumsface17]

Just proving we got hard done by at both games.

I know mate, and we most certainly were :(

[santinomarella]

Because the correct amount of added time was given like it is every time, and of course you wouldn't notice that other teams do get high amounts of added time, people are very narrow minded when it comes to talking United.

[Bostonmess]

Manu would lose a lot more games with a video ref.

Erm how many goals have we been give offside this season and ones that haven't gone over the line? Hardly any so i disagree with your point.

[Aizen-Sama]

Relax and prepare for the next match? Do you not see we've just lost the Prem and on Wednesday we lose the CL.

Not sure if your being serious but...

Yes is the answer. This past 3-4 seasons there have been countless times when the odds are looking slim. When we are maybe 2-0 down in a match or playing with 10 men. When we are destroyed in a match or down from the first leg in a match. I always believe we can pull through and we do.

I remember all those 'United' supporters in school during the 04-05 and 05-06 seasons who were like "we're finished" or "United are dead". How foolish they were back then.

Chelsea still have Liverpool away who are chasing 4th spot and it won't be secured by the time they play.

I truly believe we will do it.

[Bostonmess]

True but you'd be that far behind it wouldn't matter.

Prove it, and I mean post detailed stats to show decisions that have gone in our favour and then also prove that in those same games there were no decisions that went against us.

If your gonna keep talking utter nonsense please back it up.

[Metal Warrior]

Wow I think this is the quickest time ever that I've overcome my after match loss depression. :lol:

Just **** the result and prepare yourself for the next match, thats more important.

Now it's time to relax and play a game!

This is a difficult one to stomach though. Two dire performances on the bounce that threaten to ruin an entire season. United have looked very poor recently, uninspired, without energy, drive ... We have to win all the remaining games including a trip to City while hoping Chelsea drop 3 or more points (it's not looking good for the goal difference, especially if you look at some of the cannon fodder Chelsea have at home). Most of it is without Rooney as well. We need a good display at home against Bayern as well.

I'd love to have faith in the team and all but my head says it's all over. United aren't going to win all the remaining games and Chelsea aren't going to drop a shed load of points either. It'll be a close race to the end but ultimately a very frustrating one for us. We have a better chance of getting to the CL final but the league is always the main trophy. It would be n19 as well and an unprecedented 4th in a row. I can't help but feel terribly disappointed.

[Bostonmess]

Well, if you look back at all the extra time Manu have had when they needed it. It's like the ref has Fergies phone number, He's got his headset on: "How much time you want Fergie? Six minutes? No problem. Yeah, I'll try and send one of theirs off too. Yeah, see you in the bar after."

Well, it's just a bit of a biased opinion don't you think? I mean look at all those times when when the decision goes your way and it shouldn't. There was that time where Drogba got blocked on the half way line, clearly he'd have scored but no one was even sent off. All they got was a free kick.

Valencia never dived against us. Rafa is a plonker in the media. It wasnt a peno cos it was outside the area but Luis never dived against us, was a blatant foul.

[Bostonmess]

Lol! One of my mates is a Liverpool fan and he says it was outside the area too.

I look at it it differently. It started outside the area (shirt pulling) but continued into it and then he went down.Which to me is fair enough. If the Liverpool player wants to invite a penalty for trying to cheat., let him.

I'd have given a pen.

Yeh the 2nd article was sooo impartial...

The Valencia pen was a pen, I even posted a statute from Fifa law to prove it was after the game.

Ok if you don't think that was a pen what about the Bellamy pen with Rafael, where there was contact outside the area then he ran into the box and flopped to the ground?

For the Carrick one, I remember Fletcher fairly tackling Fabregas (and getting sent off) just after that, when Arsenal were around 3-0 down (I forget)...just because that didn't ignite a comeback no one cares about it

EDIT: Oh yeh, what did you think of the pen against United for Pompey earlier in season, it was the slightest of shirt pulls from Vidic, You never see them given, and I havn't seen any been given since.

Just a point :cool:

[John25]

Valencia never dived against us. Rafa is a plonker in the media. It wasnt a peno cos it was outside the area but Luis never dived against us, was a blatant foul.

Actually according to the FIFA rules if the players shirt is tugged from outside the box and he falls over inside the box then the referee must award a Penalty.

[Bostonmess]

Look. It's dead simple:

If the decision goes for Manu, then the ref's got it wrong and if it goes against 'em then he's got it right.

Lets face it your basing it on jealousy, hearsay and urban myths.

The metropolitan police or what you english call them want's "high profile" games to be early so they can control the crowd better. I've have a distinct memory of reading that somewhere.

the met police is london, but yes, that is why they do it, its just policing issues. and also sky. lunchtime kick off they can show it on tv, 3 o clock ? can't can they. you would be very hard pressed to find a fixture between teh top two of the top 4 in the last few years that has kicked of at 3 o clock on a saturday.

Leeds are the most gifted and talented team in the history of all football, their football makes Barcelona and Arsenals style of football look amateur and pathetic.

They are in the top half of the most superior league in the world...League 1.

Players like Beckford and Snodgrass are rated at atleast £100 million each and both willwin the Ballon dor some time in their career.

If the season started since after the Utd game you would be 19th. Few off days is a bit of an understament, you have lost 8 in the league and your last game you got smashed by Charlie Austins barmy army. Dont see where you can compare your League One team to the most beautiful national team. Pure poetry in motion being getting away with a 1-0 away at OT when you got dominated all game.

Right, where do i start on the crap that was saturday afternoon?

right, wrong line up......Obvs losing rooney was a MASSIVE blow, but we should not of been playing ALL our old geezers. Team did look leggy in the 1st half, no pace in that team on saturday. Rafa isnt injured, why is slow dead neville starting ahead of him? Scholes was a liablilty and as much as i dont like Carrick atm, he shouldve started. Park had a bad game, but we didnt know that in hindsight, i wouldve lilke to see NANI and Valencia start the game.
We played the tried and trusted 4,5,1 which didnt work as we lost the midfield, didnt push up or pressure them enough, 2 strikers as Berba drops WAY too deep shouldve suffieced.
Yes the trip on park was a pen, yes gary shoulder barging anelka was a pen, YES DROGBAS GOAL WAS A MILE OFFSIDE and yes Kiko handballed the ball into the net.
Malouda who imo, is average as heck shouldve been stopped by valencia then neveille before joe coles lucky flick.

Can we still do it???? Without wazza, imma say NO. I doubt we'll score more than bayern on weds, i hope im right, but berba as good as his touch is etc, aint the one for me. Case in point, the volley he had in the 93rd min, he shouldve buried that FFS.

Chelski have to go away to spurs and liverpool. But its theres to lose now.

To sum up, i think we have done brillinat this seaosn to still be in a shout of the league and europe with such a poor squad, if rooney hadnt discovered he was alan shearer all of a sudden fook knows where we would be! We've lost 7 games, i remember when 4 games was the maxium you could lose in season! What a crazy league its been.

rant over

It's not a poor squad, we're just missing someone really special in midfield. Goalkeeper's great, I think we can all agree the defense is immense even though rightback is a weak position. The wide positions are fine as well with Valencia who, despite a few weaker performances, has been very good and Nani who's been improving. Maybe a man short in the attack as Berba as a lone striker doesn't really work when Rooney's out and Owen is unreliable. Macheda to play a bigger role next season?

And then there's midfield. Carrick, found out time and time again against the big sides. Hargreaves is a mystery. Anderson, even if he's fit again it seems no one really knows what his role should be. Scholes is old. Imo Fletch is our best man in the middle, but we lack a world class midfielder with a creative spark. I'm disappointed we didn't get Sneijder in the Ronaldo deal. I think we would've been much stronger with him. I feel if we sort out that midfield we'll be there or thereabouts again next season.

[Bostonmess]

Lol. You're there or thereabouts now, this season.

You're only two points off the leaders in second place.

Yeah, it's been a crazy season and you've lost more games than you usually do but things aren't looking that bad.

That's why I said again. This season has been a weird one. We can still realistically win the league after 7 losses. I don't expect next season to be like that, so we'll need a stronger side. I also think we'll fail to win the CL, either by getting knocked out this Wednesday or maybe getting a football lesson again in the final by Barça if both teams get there. I think that one world class midfielder could make a huge difference.

[John25]

wow i found out yesterday that Man U was actually formed by a Scouser called Frederick Attock lol the irony

[Demiant]

I don't think our squad is bad, but it is worse than it's been in a few years. All we really need imo is a creative midfielder... and getting rid of Giggs/Scholes/Neville.

I think that should be our main priority in the summer, and also getting another defender in cause I doubt Rio will play more than half the season next year and I'm not entirely sure about Smalling, seems poo whenever I've seen him.

I don't think we have a horrible squad, just not as good as it used to be... not as much depth. We need to spend for next season because imo, Chelsea will spend big this summer and we need to keep up. Not saying we need to spend big, but we need to spend a bit atleast and spend it wisely.

Anything with Ferdinand in it is far from "immense".

Swap Terry around with Rio and then you Mancs would have an immense defence.

I wouldn't want Terry ****ing everyones wife's and girlfriends, could ruin team moral. So no trade.

Pah! I doubt any football fan would swap Rio for Terry.

[Cliché-Skating]

What players do off the pitch is irrelevant. There is no denying Terry is one of the best, if not the best centre back in the world.

It really isn't, team chemistry is hugely important to have a successful campaign.

Eh? Rio has been poor at times this season but the title winning seasons he was an absolutely world class defender. It'll all depend on his back injury. If that doesn't give him too many problems he can return to his best and play on that level for a few more years.

And even with all the defensive worries this season, we still have the best defensive record in the league.

On what premise?

Dont think ive ever once seen him do anything derogatory on the pitch. Only noticeable thing i can think of was him crying when he missed that peno a few year back, if that makes him a "d.ouchbag", what does it make Rooney?

Puh-lease.

Dont think id catch Terry clapping in refs faces or shouting abuse at lines men.

Let's see he sleeps with other players wifes, he sells tours of Stamford Bridge, he seriously thought about going to City when they offered him more money, yep a real angel.

FYI, I put the dot there so the annoying censor system wouldn't kick in.

didn't he spit on tevez? when tevez was on united... the match where drogba smacked vidic...

He cheated on his wife, with another players wife... that is enough for me... but the spitting thing (just a memory from a highlight i saw a while ago, not sure if its true) if it was true, would be the most disgraceful thing IMO.

What does rooney do that is disgraceful? he play aggressive, and sometime make a bad move on the pitch (portugal red card) but nothing that seems intentional.

[Tutankhamun]

Terry is one of those guys were the money and the fame has gone over his head. Happens to a lot of athles, I just don't want people like that on my team, that simple.

It will be an interesting summer for trades/buying/selling. For all teams, but i hope united gets the best deals :)

I think Sir Alex is still after benzema, how has he been in spain?

Rio Ferdinand is a womble.

You got murked blood, what a nonce.

[Demiant]

Rather poo, but I've seen enough of him at Lyon to know he's a good striker, just doesn't suit La Liga.

I'd rather we spent the majority of our mulah on a creative mid. Mind you, if the Milner rumours are true than I guess that's sorted.

[powerslave205]

I don't want Benzema, he rejected us once and now he is the reject at Madrid.

[three3-times]

milner? please no. creavite spark? jog on!

he is sooooo average, hes like ji sung park, no offence to ji, just younger and english

Have you actually seen him play? He IS creative, more so than anything we have in midfield. And I'd have him over Park any friggin' day. Seriously, you're either underrating one or overrating the other.

[StaticAge]

Well the FA have demoted the ref and linesman from the Chelsea game. Bit late now though :rolleyes:

of course ive seen milner play, he is dog poo, average at best. just cos he can play in a vareity of positions and has stamina doesnt make him a good player.

And also, anyone is more creative then our midfield atm!

Milner is a very good player.

Pace, an eye for goal, great set piece delivery, can beat his man. Very under rated.

[Spider]

come on united!

win this game... i am gonna take a nap before the start...

man i am nervous...

Exactly, shame our own fans don't see it. :lol:

Anyhoo, about tonight's game... I'm just not going to make any predictions or whatever because I honestly don't know. One minute I'm confident and think we'll go through, the next I'm dead cert we're out. It's very touch-and-go.

One thing's for sure, I think it'll be close and if we do qualify, we'll struggle.

To be honest, this doesn't come from an opposing fans perspective but from a neutral point of view. I reckon you will struggle, especially with Robben in the team.

I was confident United would have it fairly wrapped up in the first leg. Now I kinda doubt they'll make it through.

[Spider]

if they do make it through... rooney will be back for the semi's, so i am not so worried about that.

Bayern's manager said he is most worried about berba...

strange...

This is probably the best post in the entire thread.

[desolationw]

Actually I can see this one being a 0-0 draw.

We MAY be able to shut out Robben and Ribery because we are at home but I really don't see us scoring.

I think we'll start 4-5-1 with Berbatov up front, Nani and Valenica on the wings and Scholes/Giggs, Carrick and Fletcher in midfield. I'd prefer it if we started 4-4-2 with Macheda up front with Berbatov and just go gung-ho but it will be cautious for the first half.

Against Chelsea we were ***** first half and I think not making changes at half time cost us the match. Fair enough the offside goal screwed us over because we had a bit of dominating possession before that and we were creating half-cut chances.

It's games like Chelsea I would just think '**** it, we need at least a draw so just make the subs now and go for it' but that's probably why I'm sitting watching TV and not one of the most decorated managers in football. :(

Tonight's one of those typical CL matches.

I think you're being a bit pessimistic after the recent setbacks. We're not as bad as the Bayern and Chelsea matches made us look. We had a terrible time against both teams. We've not suddenly become a worse side. Yes we lost a lot of quality with Rooney, but that's not the problem. Let's not forget we were much worse than we should've been in Munich and Rooney was on the field for 90 minutes.

If we manage to get going again, we're a better side than Bayern. They have more individual class at the moment, especially with Rooney out. We all know that can make the difference in the Champions League, but we'll just have to win as a team. I think the lads will be determined to bounce back. For some reason they weren't against Chelsea, but I don't think that'll happen again.

We may well go out, but I'm expecting a good effort at least.
