Any football fans/supporters here?

C Ron can do dive all he can with Real now...

Its only one match but against Birmingham we do lack some flair and someone who has the skills to run at defenders but Rooney was pretty lethal with the chances he had throughout the game...

[1stKill]

Just finished watching Burnley beating Man United 1-0...most enjoyable. :D

Manager Owen Coyle very underated...

[Rusty Bucket]

I cant believe Man U went down to Burnley. Tottenham are looking good. Go the Poole!!

[Speedz]

Yeap win some lose some...

But gotta say every EPL is always even more psyched when playing Man Utd coz they are the champs and no one likes them... :P

[thegourou20]

It is disappointing that Man Utd lost but hopefully we learnt from our mistakes.

I just wonder why Carrick took the penalty :-/

[¥uri]

I have to say, its not ideal to have your two best defenders out injured this early on. Man U will have to give their younger players some first team experience now. Part of the game, i guess

But in saying that, they also seem to have lost that usual attacking sense in front of goal, i mean the back of the net, these last two matches....Could this be a sign of things to come?

Also, can anyone see Fergie sign anybody else to add to the already aging squad? 38y/o Sol Campbell, perhaps? LoL

Less than two weeks to go until transfer window closes. There's almost always a last minute surprise to be had, can't wait who that'll be and which team...

edit: fantasy football action begins this weekend, be sure to sign up ppl =)

haha manure 1 loss GG they are out of the title race!

[¥uri]

Oh look the Kop scumbags lost 2-1!

And I've been a United supporter since before the class of '92 emerged. So none of that 'Oh look another fella jumping on the red devil band wagon'

The scousers must be really disappointed right now...

and i quote: ''... Oh look! "

Burnley 1

Manchester Utd 0

Where you at now 'Jaaassseeee' ? :D

Can't wait to see your team play Ar$enal then Tottenham in a couple weeks time mate!!!

No excuses about injuries either

.. YNWA ..

[thegourou20]

Who needs C Ron when we have Rooney... :P

[1stKill]

Yeah they bounced back alright after the dismal loss to Burnley... :)

was that M.Owens 1st goal for Man U?

[Speedz]

1st goal for Man Utd in the EPL yes, otherwise he scored in the preseason tour too...

[¥uri]

Good match last night........their attacking players are now finding their feet (another pun intended)

I'm abit worried in midfield tho, one of my all time fave players, Paul `ginga ninja' Scholes, can't play every single game this season........

who will be the alternate playmaker???.......O'shea

And is it just me, or do Man Utd play better when Giggs isn't on the pitch, for the most part, in the last couple of years...... 1 or 2 good games a season, if that, is all his good for now i reckon......

One of the greats to ever play, but you can't go on for ever. I still let him off at times, just because of that FA cup goal againts the `g00ners, absolute magic that was

we should try and predict scores before matches too, similar to how the other guys on the forum have an `F1 challenge thingy-ma-jig

my two cents worth for the week

[1stKill]

Huge game coming up...Gunners v Man.United

p.s It won't let me spell Arzenal correctly...this really suucks,why is my team the butt of all jokes.

Go Gunners.

[spillige]

^^that will be an epic battle even this close to the begining of the season, thing that worries me about man u is how many ageing players they have, it will be intresting to see what happens with there squad in the next 2-3 seasons regarding the replaceing of these players.......

Macheda, Gibson, Welbeck, Tozzi, Rafael, Fabio, Obertan...

No young players???

[Speedz]

what he met was no young players who can make Scholes retire :P

those players you mention would walk into most EPL starting 11 outside the top 5 but not out and out top 5 starting 11 material at least not yet... :P

[spillige]

what he met was no young players who can make Scholes retire :P

:D :D its something that all top sides face, do you go all out and invest and trust the youngsters coming up or not... its a double edged sword.

man u have a had quite a few young players come thru, but have had little impact... apart from *cough super ron*

[Speedz]

C Ron is a one off as we all know...

He and Rooney were one of the best buys SAF had but both didnt come cheap with Rooney more expensive coz he is english... eg Darren Bent for 20 mil... :o

Scholes is pretty unique player himself but there are several potential players who can replace him on a limited basis thats...

Carrick - who has the vision and class but lacks the consistency and perhaps fire, more like a Pirlo/ Alonso type player though

Park - he will hound you all day, everyday and every second until you give up the ball, a very smart squad player...

Fletcher - he is a more of a do it all central midfielder than a out and out AM, he will give you a big of everything which Scholes cant do such as tackling... :P

Anderson - he is better than Scholes with his athleticism and stamina but lacks everything else from what i see atm such as vision and killer passes, he probably be better givin more of the ball this season as C Ron is not around to dominate the ball, still yet to score for Man Utd in the elite comp level outside preseason games...

Gibson - apart that he inherited Scholes long range big shot cant see he is any where kissing Scholes heels, but who knows he might give Anderson a run for his money this season...

Possibon - still young and loaned out to somewhere atm so he wont be doing much with Man Utd this season...

haha you're wrong boy, my team scored 4 against pompey last nite :P

[thegourou20]

Lol Oh You A Gunner Supporter :-D Nice Start I Must Admit. Hope You Guys Keep It Up

[Rusty Bucket]

I was devastated to see the mighty Liverpool go down to Aston Villa this morning. First loss at Anfield for 31 games. We have lost twice out of 3 games. We only lost twice the whole of last season!

[¥uri]

I'm shocked with that scoreline. Games against Aston Villa are always very close and are won or lost by a 1 goal deficit, mostly in injury time too.

L'pool have now lost the equal amount of games as last season, Already!! (as Rusty Bucket pointed out) ... I just hope they win against top4 teams and not draw as many matches.

Looking forward to Man Utd v Ar$enal this weekend, should be a good game

[thegourou20]

Yeah bad...even though I am a man utd supporter I reckon it will be hard to beat Ar$enal because they are in form! =-l

Btw we need more members to join our fantasy league!!! :-D

[Speedz]

nah... Cesc is out for the Man Utd game so we might have a more realistic chance to win!
