El Chicarito :cool: Clearly got nothing on the 13 year old Mexican barca signed but the lad looks good. Scores a lot when the ties are level, might turn out to be a Manucho but worth a punt. Clearly not just another reserve being 21 so hopefully he takes up the role of 3rd striker.

I'm kind of hoping he does because we're ruining Berbatov. Whenever we've played 442, he's looked good and played well. Now we play 451 the majority of the time and it doesn't suit him. It's clear that Fergie doesn't trust/like him, so might as well ship him out now when we can get some money for him and buy a good mid.
Berba should go.. not that I want him to but he has to, to save his career. A superb player but just doesn't get played enough. Also, nice to see that new player being signed :)

What cleanup are you referring to, exactly? Are there really THAT many players you want out?
I want Berbatov out, Carrick. That's probably it, I do however still want us to bring a lot of youth like another RB, 2 midfielders. Then I'll probably be happy.
I still want some of the veterans to play a part of the team but I want to play them less of a role, for example Scholes and Giggs might get to play 10-15 games max for the next season.
Kind of like to keep Neville but that's not happening. If he stays he might get to play like 5 games.
Im happy with this signing, more will come :)

Berbatov is a wonderful player, anyone who denies it is a moron. He just doesnt suit a 451, i didnt think Rooney suited it before this year but he has come into his own. Berbs needs a partner and with the setup Utd have right now he wont get it. Much like the Ngog situation (yes completely different players), no point really keeping him around if we insist on playing one up top but if we change to 2 he will shine IMO. I love Berbs, always did at Spurs and thought he was wonderful to watch, still is on his day but its just sad to watch such a gifted player struggle so badly when its obvious he needs someone alongside him. He must feel crap when a clearly unfit Roo is picked ahead of him to start upfront. Hope he moves so i can go to like him wherever he goes, much like RVN now, so cult :cool:

As you say TommyFewty, wonderful player, doesn't fit at United. It happens.
In my opinion, our key to success next season is:
- Get rid of Giggs & Neville, keep Scholes on to play against your Stokes & Sunderlands.
- Either keep Berba and play 442 more often or get rid of Berba and bring in a player that CAN play on his own up front.
- Buy ATLEAST one midfielder, a creative one please.

That sounds a lot more sensible than a cleanup. For what's it worth I don't necessarily think Carrick has to go. He has already shown he's good enough, but at some point he just seemed to stop performing.
The way I see it, the squad needs a few tweaks rather than an overhaul. I don't think we need a new RB. Rafael will play that role more often next season and there's always O'Shea and maybe even Brown (he did a very good job there in 2007-2008 ).
I also don't see why we'd need more youth. We have very exciting prospects in Rafael, Fabio and Macheda. Evans is still young. I don't know about Smalling, we'll see I guess. Maybe even Welbeck. Then there are a few others in the academy. Tom Cleverly, he's one to watch. He's already almost a legend among Watford fans for his fantastic loan spell there. Matt James looks good as well. Pogba and Morrison are a few other exciting young players.
Berbatov, difficult one. He has enough class but hasn't looked well in a 4-5-1. If Fergie plans on playing him in a better suited role next season, keep him. Otherwise there's no point.
The one we really need is that creative midfielder. Consider this:
-------------- VDS --------------
Rafael --- Rio ------- Vidic -- Evra
------ Fletcher --- Carrick --------
--------------- X ----------------
Valencia -------------------- Nani
------------ Rooney --------------
X is the creative midfielder, a new player. If Carrick can somehow start performing again, I REALLY like that team. I honestly think it's capable of winning major trophies.
Another quality, young goalie couldn't hurt though, and maybe a CB as well (depends on Smalling, Shawcross anyone?).

Well, Brown isn't getting younger neither is O'Shea but if Rafeal can play the majority of games were okay I can agree about that, but if he got hurt it's a position where we could suffer.
I honestly think Carrick wants out himself, I don't see any passion in his game anymore I think he has hit a wall here, coming to a new team and a new voice might do him very well.
I've heard of the promising guys in the academy but I have no idea if they can play next season?
As for Berbatov I don't know what to say I think it's best for us and best for him to play somewhere else, maybe in a swap deal for a creative midfielder? If Anderson can start playing to his potential next season we have a midfield set for a some years.
I honestly want to start with Rooney + Macheda at top next season and then let Hernandez play his way into the squad.
On a side note, do you guys think Vidic will stay? So many rumors..
I'm also hearing Barca will bid for Evans, if they do I hope SAF says Messi or no deal.
I have said it before but put Luka Modric in your X. I have been really impressed with him at spurs, even after his broken leg he looks a great player. Another plus is he has proven he can play in england.

Dont see why Barca would bid for Evans now anyway, Chyggers hasnt exactly set the world alight but i think he will come good once he gets settled. Not worth the price Evans would cost for backup. Dont see where the rumours have come from either, only the ones that were about before Chyg signed but theyve dissapeared now.

Not in the big leagues no, definately not. But we'll probably see a few of them in the Carling Cup. But thinking in the long term it looks pretty good. Fergie's son said the great man would be looking to play Cleverly next season. No idea if his words carry any weight, but he's still his son so he might know something.
Dont know if anyone saw this
Manchester United have announced a deal to sign striker Javier Hernandez from Mexican side Chivas for an undisclosed fee, reported to be around £6 million.
http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0408/javierhernandez4122010mufcshirt_275x155.jpg
Hernandez, 21, has agreed personal terms and passed a medical but is still awaiting a work permit. Should a permit be granted, he will join United in July after the Mexico international returns from the World Cup.
As part of the deal, United will play a friendly at the Chivas Stadium ahead of the 2010-11 season.
Sir Alex Ferguson told the club's official website: "I am delighted to reach agreement with Chivas to bring such an exciting young striker, who has been in such prolific form for both his club and his country.
"He will be a great addition to our squad and we look forward to welcoming our first Mexican player in the summer. We are equally excited to play our first game in Mexico, opening the magnificent new Chivas Stadium in July."
Chicharito, or "Little Pea", as he is known, has scored four goals in his first four games for Mexico.
The deal will represent a first for United, who have never signed a Mexican player before or played in the country, which they will do in July as part of the deal. Hernandez has spent just two seasons in the first team at Chivas which represents a meteoric rise to prominence.
"I feel like I am living a dream," he told MUTV. "All the impressions I have of the club are good and Sir Alex Ferguson is a great person, maybe the best coach in the world."
Hernandez was at Old Trafford on Wednesday to watch the Champions League quarter-final with Bayern Munich. While he was disappointed at the outcome, he marvelled at the atmosphere, which he hopes to experience for himself next term.
Before that, Hernandez must secure a place in Mexico's World Cup squad, which he is tipped to do. And that will confirm a quick return to England as Mexico will tackle Fabio Capello's men at Wembley on May 24.
"I hope to be at the World Cup," he said. "I have to work hard to win a place in the national team, then I might get a chance to play against England."

I think he will play for them, cause it says he scored 4 goals all ready for their inter team...
All we need is to keep Neville for RB use Rafael and the more experienced games W.Brown( I'm on about next season btw), we need a CAM and another finisher, we can't go buying mega players because every time we do they fail, the unknown ones Fergie buys always end up being the best. I rekon Anderson is a goner, if someone puts in a good offer for Foster hes gone also Scholes may be on his way, he said he wanted to spend his last season at Oldham, Carrick I would like for the small games to give the likes of Flecther a rest, so I'd like to keep Ando for the small games aswell. Berbatov won't go yet he'll get one more season.

I really dont see why you should give certain players endless backing just because they play for a club. Sometimes it can work and the players can feel the fans warming to them and improve alongside it (Nani and Lucas cases) but sometiems its just a lost cause and there clearly just stagnating and in fairness being a drain on the club (Dossena and Veron). Just because a player wheres the badge doesnt mean fans should stand by wildly whilst putting up with abject performances. Thats why fans are annoyed with the Carricks, the Gerrards (just this year), the Joe Coles. Fans have seen them do it repeatedly at a top level but for some reason they just stop performing, they say all the right stuff but dont show anywhere near whats needed at our clubs. If players arent working and theres players out there that are more likely to why shouldnt we want them replaced like a Berbs situation, clearly he struggles on his own up top and only stupid people doubt his ability but when its not working why should you just keep with it and hope it works? May as well have a little football debate cos im bored.

But at what point do you stop having faith in a player? After a bad year? 2 bad years? Longer? This is Nani's 3rd year here. Earlier this season, there were some arguing he should be off during the Jan window. After all, he'd been here for 2 and a half years and wasn't getting any better. Look at what a spectacular improvement he's made in such a short time.
Another example, Giggsy. During the barren years - the Djemba Djemba years. How many were saying his time was over. There were very, very few supporters who didn't want him gone at that time. Then he goes on to play massive role in another successful period, even having one of his best individual seasons ever in 2008-2009, winning the PFA Player of the Year award.
Fletcher? Almost not a soul who thought he had it in him a few years back. Just like many now probably think Gibson doesn't have it in him.
In the end if the players are good enough for Fergie, they're more than good enough for me. He may have got it wrong at times but look at how often he's had it right. He's proven so many wrong time and time again. That's why, whoever is at the club and whoever gets picked by Fergie, gets my support. If Carrick and Berbs are still at Old Trafford next season, it means he thinks they can help the club win silverware.

The only one I agree with is Fletcher. He's been good, but at the cost of having him play 5 mediocre seasons before getting 1 good one. I'll be more than happy if he continues playing at this level.
Nani was good his first season and ***** his second. I always said give him his third season before we should sell him and he's showing us why we should keep him.
Giggs, on the other hand, should have retired a few years ago. To say his best individual season was in 08-09 is just ludicrous, and if you honestly believed he deserved his POTY than you're one of the most deluded fans I know. He wasn't even in OUR top 5 players, let alone the entire Prem.
Giggs is a shadow of what he used to be, and every time I see him on the team sheet nowadays, I'm disappointed. This is a player I admire, he was a HUGE player for us, had a HUGE role in most of our title-winning seasons, and now he doesn't know when to call it quits. I'd rather we play Tom Cleverley than Giggs, seriously. I love the man, but he needs to retire now.

Gerrard? I though Lampard was most deserving of the award. Him or Vidic.
Nah it was always going to be either Gerrard or Vidic, and I think most footy fans would agree.
Giggs was very average last season, his only stand-out game was against Chelsea, and this season he's quite frankly poor. Only reason he's still at the club is because the Glazers won't give us the money to replace him. Believe it, don't believe it... frankly I don't care, because it's the hard truth.

Dont be silly, of course not.

Never been a fan of carrick, yes he came and won titles with us, but tell me, wtf does he do? He used to be able to pass, that was his only gimmick, he doesnt even do that anymore! Hes gone backwards, not forwards. NOw i dont belive SAF will sell him, but he needs to seriously look at himself,
Now, onto Berba...............all the technique in the world, but summit isnt right there. Saf spent all last season defending him and not choose to play a quarter fit rooney ahead of him, what does that tell you? When berba was a spurs, he was awesome, beating mans, staying up top, leading the line, SCORING GOALS. Now hes with us, hes just a attacking midfielder basically? Again, i doubt SAF will sell him, but berba isnt the player we need to score goals or rely upon. PLayer behind ANY striker, he is perfect though.
Wholesales changes are NOT needed. A creative midfield and maybe a left footed winger to provide balance. (maybe a Defence midfielder to cover for hargo) Defence is covered, looks like upfront is covered what with kiko, dannny, Hernandez diouf, owen etc.
Not really happy with VDS as out 1st choice goalie though for next season as much i like him!
We all love man utd on here, but carrick and berba will be scapegoats as they havent performed when required.
Its all love though YMF, before you get all angry at me! Its two fans chatting!

Honestly, I think it's the money that has got to Berbatov, he has a long term contract getting great money don't matter if he plays our not he still gets payed (as he should) he might be one of those players who need shorter contracts so they are playing for a contract each year.

Even better they could have Giggs, Scholes and Neville as player/coaches, that way they can train and pass on their experience to the future stars of United, and they can also be used as back up, when we have injuries, suspensions, players needing a rest and they can play along side the youngsters in the Carling Cup. Perfect!

See, that's fair enough, you say you have never been a fan of Carrick and you know your football, but some people are only judging Carrick by his current form, which admittedly has been poor, but when Carrick plays like we know he can he is an asset to the team.
Sometimes it seems with some people think selling some one is the only option. We have a great squad and it would be nice to see some new additions over the summer to make it even better. I do like the idea of Modric at United like mankind suggested.
But there's still a league title to be won! and despite how much some one you want, no one is leaving just yet.

Never been a fan of carrick, yes he came and won titles with us, but tell me, wtf does he do? He used to be able to pass, that was his only gimmick, he doesnt even do that anymore! Hes gone backwards, not forwards. NOw i dont belive SAF will sell him, but he needs to seriously look at himself,
Now, onto Berba...............all the technique in the world, but summit isnt right there. Saf spent all last season defending him and not choose to play a quarter fit rooney ahead of him, what does that tell you? When berba was a spurs, he was awesome, beating mans, staying up top, leading the line, SCORING GOALS. Now hes with us, hes just a attacking midfielder basically? Again, i doubt SAF will sell him, but berba isnt the player we need to score goals or rely upon. PLayer behind ANY striker, he is perfect though.
Wholesales changes are NOT needed. A creative midfield and maybe a left footed winger to provide balance. (maybe a Defence midfielder to cover for hargo) Defence is covered, looks like upfront is covered what with kiko, dannny, Hernandez diouf, owen etc.
Not really happy with VDS as out 1st choice goalie though for next season as much i like him!
We all love man utd on here, but carrick and berba will be scapegoats as they havent performed when required.
Its all love though YMF, before you get all angry at me! Its two fans chatting!
Hehe sure bud..
I think were literally only 2 or 3 piece away from our puzzle, i'm sure of it

Hmmm interesting, Villa denied a penalty by Howard Webb, I guess we should expect an even bigger up roar at this decision than the Carling Cup final, as Villa have gained no advantage from this, where as they did in the final.

Small Talk: Dani Alves | Sid Lowe (http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/apr/09/dani-alves-interview-small-talk)
Not Wayne Rooney, then? I have a real weakness for Rooney … he's incredible, incredible. He's fantastic. The way he works. He's perfect. He's better than Cristiano Ronaldo but Ronaldo took centre-stage from him last year. Rooney was practically playing at left-back sometimes. The game that he played here against Barcelona in the Champions League, when Ronaldo missed the penalty, he was at left-back …
You must have been pleased. For us it's better – the further away he is from our goal the better. But for those who have a passion for football, it's a disaster. When you see a player that good with that quality stuck at left-back, buf! But that's the thing: sometimes it's hard in a team to have lots of players with big names; sometimes they take something away from each other. Right now, maybe Manchester United play better as a team than before, when they had Ronaldo. They're as good, or better than they were.
But Rooney accepted it ... Yeah, that's being a professional, loving your job, feeling your job. If you have to play at full-back, you play at full-back … but Rooney knows that his best position is up front – and he's proving that. He's got over 30 goals. It's incredible.
So, who is your favourite English football team? [In English] Is a good question … in this moment Manchester …
You mean City, right? That's the one. Hahahaha! No. Manchester United.
:snicker

Not gonna happen.

This is the worst man utd squad i have seen and thats been for 20 years.

Like you said Modric would be a great signing, This squad is still essentially the same squad that won the champions league, just minus Ronaldo and Tevez, I still believe in this team, if we had a bit more luck we could still be top and in the champions league.
1 or 2 creative midfielders and I feel we will win the league next year.

He is passing more and tracking back, yeah I was harsh on him and am looking forward to see him play. Rafa is going to be amazing for united, he just needs to learn.

At least they'll be in the Champions league again next season. Which = da big bucks and attracting quality talent.

True, 2nd place is a failure, that is the sort of attitude that United have always had and that all clubs should have.
I just can't help but think how silly the Bayrern game was and how stupid their goals were :( the freekick, nicking the ball off Evra, Carrick falling down, and a wonder goal. It was just typical :(
Reminded me of Porto 04 all over again. (I'm still not over that, Scholes "offside" goal :pissed:)
Oh well, only one way to look and that's forward, the title is over, no question about that, this was very much a transitional season it seemed, got the Carling cup and hopefully 2nd place, so there have been worse seasons.

Yeah but Liverpool has been going down hill for the last 5 years... Our ambitions are still higher then Liverpool's. I'm not ashamed of the season at all, if we had less injuries we might have won a lot more.

I can't believe we didn't score one, do you guys realize Tevez has the chance to put the final nail in our coffin? SAF made the mistake to signing Berbaflop when he could have kept a much better player in Tevez. Anyone who thinks otherwise is crazy, just look at the damn stats, compare what each player means to their team and you'll see Tevez is more valuable and scores more goals than Berba.
I thought you guys lost until recently lol. You were making it sound like you lost. Also I think you guys may be overreacting of how terrible season you had. I mean you have a good squad that are playing well together(mostly) and you've only slipped up a few times.

Well, I think we need more players.
Too many players getting a free ride on Rooney. Rio looks like he is now more concerned on where his next business investment is going to come from. Giggs, leads from the front but is only a bit part player as is Scholes and Neville is slower than ever.
For the last two maybe three seasons we have always depended on one player to get us a win. We're now in need of a complete team, not a team with one or two outstanding players.
Berbatov is just a waste of £30m and Spurs must be still chuckling inside. :FOL:
I think you will def get 1 or 2 new signings I mean you're just to big of a club not to. Also yeah I was generalising I saw your post and assumed a few others would think the same lol. Still have a slight chance although I still want asenal to win it, because I like how they play.
To be quite frank, I've already given up hope on a 4th title. I just hope once it's mathematically over that Fergie will try to experiment and play our younger players and reserves and just leave Giggs/Scholes/Neville out the starting lineup.
Also, I very much doubt we'll spend anything over 20m this summer. I see us selling Berbs (PLEASE!) for 10-15m and spending about that. We won't spend more than we'll sell imo, and seeing as how the CC is our only trophy this year, we won't have as much mulah in revenue.
Until we buy a quality mid and get rid of some of our (mainly older) sh*t players, I'm gonna be a pessimistic tw*t. :(

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will hope to be energised by the same muscularity of spirit when he attempts to talk his gnomic American overlord Malcolm Irving Glazer into parting with £60m, which he plans to spend on Real Madrid's French international striker Karim Benzema and Valencia's Spanish international wingery-No10-strikery-type utility man David Silva. While it is believed that Glazer is prepared to make funds available to Ferguson, the Rumour Mill understands he may try to fob him off with offensive linesmen Xavier Fulton, Jeremy Zuttah and his pick of the cheerleading squad from his Tampa Bay Buccaneers American football franchise instead.
In other Manchester United- and Chelsea-related transfer news, an ashen-faced Network Rail ticket inspector the Rumour Mill saw smoking outside Kings Cross train station as we made our way to the office told us that neither Manchester United nor Chelsea will secure the scrawl of Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez, who wishes to remain at Ajax. "United could also miss out on Schalke goalkeeper and recent Mill staple Manuel Neuer," she added, wheezing and tapping her nose conspiratorially. "He's also wanted by Bayern Munich."
While the Rumour Mill is trying to see how big a pyramid it can make with upturned empties in a well-known London park this summer, Everton will be trying to sign Inter midfielder Sulley Muntari and Manchester United will be trying to offload Dimitar Berbatov, who doesn't even look as smouldering, cool and handsome as he once did, now that his hairline is receding at a speed fans can only dream of seeing him run at. Despite having proved an overwhelming success in his role as club scapegoat for everything that goes wrong in matches in which he features and some in which he doesn't, the languid Bulgarian will be sold in order to raise much-needed funds to pay for something or someone that costs considerably less than the £30m Sir Alex Ferguson paid for him.

Can't see £60m being enough to buy those two as I think both would cost in the region of £35-40m. I also think Gourcuff would be cheaper than Silva while being a better player.
TommyFewty
04-13-2010, 16:10
Gourcuff wouldnt be cheaper than Silva, Yoann is pivotal in any success Bordeaux have in an offensive sense. Whilst Silva is quite important to Valencia they can probably afford to let him leave with Dominguez there, Alba waiting along with Vicente which would move Mata behind Villa. Valencia will probably sell one of the three (Mata/Villa/Silva) but will get a fair whack for them. With both looking like being in the CL next year they wont be going cheap, only one that might is Benz but if the papers are true they wanna get rid of Higuain more.

Berbatov would be horrible in Valencia's system. He has shown at Utd he struggles on his own upfront. He doesnt seem very suited to the Spanish side of football for me either, i reckon BerbaFLOP(HEHEH) will go to AC or Juve or somewhere else in Italy. His build-up play would be a lot more appreciated over there.

Who can perform in Madrid, it's a freak show. I would wet myself if we got Benzema! Rooney - Benzema up front would be lethal.
Benzema is the kind of striker we need... someone who stays up front and puts the ball in the back of the net. He's an Henry-ish player in that he likes to cut inside and shoot quite a lot and he's very calm in front of goal. Also, he's capable of playing up front on his own.
I think he's more suited for the Prem than La Liga. He's not very technical, and he has a good physical presence. Out of all the realistic targets out there, he's prob top of my list.

Some of the worst performances this season were due to the midfield not performing. I'd say having Gourcuff in the squad would've made a much bigger difference. Which is why he should be our nr 1 target this season. He's exactly what this team lacks and needs.

Football transfer rumours: Stephen Ireland to Manchester United?
http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Clubs/Club_Home/2010/4/14/1271233749500/Stephen-Ireland-002.jpg
Several Premier League managers are preparing to undertake major reconstructions. Unfortunately the Mill does not mean that in the Crimewatch sense, so we are not about to see grainy CCTV footage of Sir Alex Ferguson brandishing an Uzi at some terrified young service station attendant and swearily ordering him to hand over all the cash and several boxes of Wrigleys. Similarly there will be no shots of Carlo Ancelotti toddling out of Barclays with a blue balaclava and a bulging swag bag and in all probability we will also not be treated to mobile phone camera pictures of Harry Redknapp and Chris Hughton happy-slapping Rafael Benítez.
Instead all Ferguson wants us to see is glossy photos of Karim Benzema and David Silva smiling cheesily as they sign for Manchester United. Oh, and another thing: still smarting from last summer's shenanigans with Carlos Tevez, Ferguson desperately wants to knock Manchester City's nose out of joint and intends to do so by pinching Stephen Ireland from right under it. Ah but the days of United pushing City around are over, so Ireland will only go if City want him too – which, inexplicably, may be the case – and if Ferguson can cough up £15m, which may not.

Owen Hargreaves' chances of playing this season for United - and, though it's always been highly unlikely, England at the World Cup - seem to be getting slimmer. The Independent quote Sir Alex as saying: "It's difficult to say when Owen will be back; he is training well and I had him in the squad for the Chelsea game. His training performances have been fine but at the moment midfield is not an issue for us. We have plenty of alternatives."
Looks like he seriously believes our midfield is good enough to not have to try and get Hargro back. I'm actually starting to doubt Fergie actually believes we need a mid in the summer.

What is he suppose to say though? He can't say "our midfield sucks and I want Hargo to stop being made of glass and play more then 5 games a season" The season isn't over he need to be cool. Trust me SAF knows what we need.
No but saying he's Hargreaves' training performances have been fine but that he won't be bringing him back because "midfield is not an issue for us" proves that he's a bit deluded. When fit, Hargreaves is our best midfielder, I think we can all agree on that?

If he can get back to his previous level he'll be our best mid, agreed. But at the moment he isn't necessarily what we need. I think Fletcher is now closer (though not at the same level) to the player Hargreaves was while being a similar type of player. It would've been a different story if Hargreaves was a Carrick type or a more creative midfielder, in which case Fergie would definately have him back in the squad as soon as possible. That's not to say Hargreaves is irrelevant because of Fletcher, or vice versa, absolutely not. But he wouldn't solve our current midfield problems.
Hmm, who would I rather have... Hargreaves... or Carrick/Gibson/Giggs in mid? Gee, that's a real toughy. I'm being snarky but seriously, he's not that attacking mid we need but he is better than all our mids. Against City, a free-scoring side atm, we need that defensiveness that he'd provide. But no, Fergie will opt for a 3-man mid of Scholes Giggs & Fletcher. And we'll get overrun. And then I'll come back on the forums and rage. And so on, and so on.

Ok, let's make a Man City / Man United team:
Given
Richards Rio Vidic Evra
Valencia Fletcher Barry Bellamy
Rooney Tevez
So that's 6-5 for the starting lineup. As for the subs, Ade is better than Berbs, De Jong and Ireland are better than any of our other mids, Johnson and Nani are about on par with Nani probably being the better current player but Johnson having more potential.
Our lineup is probably marginally better than theirs. I think if they had Mancini since the start of the season, they'd probably be challenging for the title this season with all the points us, Chelsea, and Arsenal dropped.
Also, we're on a horrible run of form and we have the creativity of a pineapple atm. 3-1 City imo.
Be rooting for you guys on Saturday as I'm supporting Spurs to get fourth.

Wayne Rooney is about to be re-united with Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. Photograph: Russell Cheyne/Reuters
Of course unlike today's Rumours, Real Madrid will not make any apologies for trying to bring Wayne Rooney and Fabio Capello to the Bernabéu. According to the Sun, the "Spanish giants" will offer £150m for the England striker, along with a meagre personal stipend of just £250,000 per week. They are also determined to bring Capello, a strict disciplinarian who has already led them to two La Liga titles, back to oversee their next push to finish second in the table behind Barcelona, who will freshen up their own squad by surreptitiously poaching Arsenal full-back Gaël Clichy while everyone is expecting them to try and sign Cesc Fábregas.
Despite looking and sounding like a flat cap-wearing pigeon fancier from a mid-1960s Hovis advert, James Milner is still young enough to be nominated for this year's PFA Young Player of the Year award and winning the gong would almost certainly drive up the price Sir Alex Ferguson will have to pay to lure the England midfielder to Old Trafford from Aston Villa.

If we sell Rooney, I'm going to be really really pissed.

You can't sell the kitchen sink. Who would you want to replace Rooney? There's only one better player and that's Messi, and were not getting him.
Apparently SAF wouldn't accept that bid anyway:
Ferguson says Rooney will not be joining Real Madrid
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has rubbished reports that Wayne Rooney could join Real Madrid at the end of the season.
On Friday, The Sun newspaper said Real will bid £90m for the England striker, 24, and offer him £250,000 a week.
"It's the silly season isn't it," said Ferguson. "It always happens at the end of the season. Wayne Rooney will still be here next year."
The Scot added Rooney could be fit to face Manchester City on Saturday.
Rooney has been struggling with an ankle problem he aggravated in the second leg of last week's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, but has trained this week.
"He has done some work over the last couple of days and we will see how he is for Saturday's game," said Ferguson, who also confirmed Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand have an outside chance of being involved at Eastlands.
Owen Hargreaves is set to be included in United's squad, meaning the midfielder could make his first senior appearance in almost 20 months.
Hargreaves' fitness is one of the matters Ferguson will give thought to this summer as he looks to reshape a squad that has already been bolstered by the signings of Javier Hernandez and Chris Smalling, with more set to follow.
"We have a reasonable structure here. There is nothing wrong with it," said Ferguson. "We may look at one or two things, but nothing serious.
"It is important not to confuse us with others who have much more buying power. We do not need to worry about them.
"It was the same with Chelsea. We didn't bother ourselves when they were buying. We just try to concentrate on what we are doing."

And Scholes has signed a one-year extension:
Paul Scholes signs new one-year contract with Man Utd
Paul Scholes has signed a new one-year contract with Manchester United.
There had been some doubt whether the 35-year-old would remain at Old Trafford earlier in the season, when he claimed to be unhappy with his form.
However, boss Sir Alex Ferguson was always confident the midfielder would extend his stay with the club he made his debut for back in 1994.
"We're delighted Paul is staying for another year. His enjoyment of the game is as strong as ever," said Ferguson.
"There was talk about him wanting to retire, but when you see his enjoyment in training and playing you can see how much he wants to carry on."
Scholes, who has scored six goals in 34 appearances this season, said: "I am feeling good and enjoying my football.
"I would like to thank the boss, the coaching staff and also the fans for their continued support."
Scholes was part of the much-vaunted United youth side that also featured Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and David Beckham and made his Premier League debut against Ipswich in 1994.
The Salford-born star has made more than 400 appearances for United, winning nine Premier League titles, three FA Cups and two League Cups, as well as playing in United's 2008 Champions League final win over Chelsea.
With Ryan Giggs already signed up for another season, it means only Gary Neville of Ferguson's veterans has still to commit himself for another season.

2-1 for City, City badly want 4th spot and if they play like their better performances this season, they have a good chance of winning.

You guys deserved the win for sure. But I feel bad for City fans right now.. two losses in the worst possible way both times they have faced you. :lol:
They should expect it, were simply better then them!
Ah nobody had 0-1 as a prediction. Doing the same thing next game then I suppose :)

That was an awful derby. Expected a bit more intensity and passion from both sides but it seemed you were equally happy with a point. Good win for your lot anyway, Gibson such an atrocious player but will probably start 20+ games next year.

They did give us a serious headache at the Munich anniversary derby game though. That was an awful day. But this season's derby games have been brilliant! :D

Now we just have to pray that Spurs helps us out. They have the 4th spot to play for so it's not impossible they will beat Chelsea.

He did actually, maybe he has read the rumors and is trying to play for a spot next year. Showed good attitude for sure.

Escorts are so expensive :( At least if you want some class. Trust me on that.
Just uploading my pics to my Photo bucket account.
I will post them in the City thread as that's where they belong. Of course I will provide a link for the lazies amongst us.
I will also be uploading my short video's to Youtube and I will add them too!

Sorry City scum, not today....not any day. Maybe if matches were 80 mins long you wouldn't look so damn pathetic.

All sorts mate!
Nothing close up or anything but got a good one of Giggs.
They're on my Photobucket now so I will start the upload to PSU.
Powerslave. City Scum. Lol. Really not seen the calibre of Manchester United fan that you can also call scum. Every club has there scummy fans but honestly, City fans are mainly fantastic.
Look back to the Carling Cup. When we won the first Leg your lot ripped the seats up and starting throwing them around. When you won the second leg there were no ripped up seats at OT. Really says something doesn't it?
