Back from the dead! Whoa. Must be ages since you were last here.

Park would mark someone like Carrick/Pirlo/Scholes.. those quarterback style midfielders.

Don't bother with those can't-do-no-wrong-and-the-bestest-ever football fans. They are angels. God made them perfect.

He knows that nothing would stop Rooney from scoring the penalty kick. It will go in either way with the luck Rooney has ATM. So he 'sabotage' the spot, so that later on in the game it would make it look like the ball bounced and he misskick it. He's coming to us in the summer.. happy days.

Gerrard to City... or Spurs.. or Villa. Depends on who gets the CL spot.

Well according to the bestest fans in the world, gloating.. or banter is not allowed when you won.
Arrogant they say. But it's ok for them to play the 18.. and 5 card.

With Evra, Park, Rooney and Fletcher, it's like we have 5x3 at once. If got Hargreaves as well...

Hopeless case I'm afraid.
See Manucho.. unless he turns into the Black Pele in the next two years.

A lot depends on what instruction he's given, and the supporting cast. If it's a straight 433(3 flat midfield), then Berba would suck so bad unless the wingers can truly support him. But even with Rooney, that formation tend to leave the striker isolated and the wingers would be ineffective. If the formation is like the one deployed against Milan and Liverpool recently, then it may look prettier and more effective. Park playing in that hole between midfield and striker doing a great job when defending and moving all over the place when attacking.

If only Berba's movement and energy is like Park's or Park's touch and composure is like Berba's..

We weren't really desperate for Berbatov since we have Tevez and Rooney who could both play in his position well. But SAF saw the need for his ability and composure.. probably with Rooney's future development in mind and with Giggs showing his age. He was never going to be cheap.

As for Rio.. yeah, being English and ManUtd tax, meant that he would cost a hell lot. Have to remember Leeds spent 18m on him just a few seasons before we showed our face in front of them. I'm glad we took the plunge. There were others who might have been better than him at the time and would cost less, but would they have last as long as him? He's been here for 8 years already. Would be hard to imagine a foreign player being that long in any team outside their own country. Wonder if we can add Rodwell to our English collection. Would be hard this time since Everton are doing well in the league.

As for the debts, it's the Glazer's. They're the ones who are in debt, but unfortunately they own us so they can do whatever they like. Now we're carrying that burden helping them paying it off.

True about those Fergie's Fledglings. Giggs we've known about. He frustrates us sometimes.. or rather a lot of times(reminds me of Nani), but more so than most he would be the one that would come up with a moment of magic that help us score. Gary is Mr Consistent. Although he struggles ever since he came back from that long injury lay off, but recently he's been very dependable. Scholes is just a genius. He can control things at will. Fantastic footballer. We look a much2 better side with him on the pitch that's for sure. He makes things look so easy. We won't replace him anytime soon unless we can prise away Fabregas from Arsenal and that would never happen.

It's up to the likes of Fletcher, Brown, Evans and O'Shea to fly the flag. Hopefully more will join them in the future.


As for VDS.. one thing came up after another. He already agreed to sign for Juve when we finally approached him(we were probably hoping and trying to persuade the Big Dane to change his mind perhaps?). We got Barthez in 00/01 season. VDS was still at Juve that time and moved to Fulham in 01/02 season. We were stuck with Barthez at the time. No one could have predicted that Barthez would turn into a clown in his 2nd season. 03/04 we found Howard. EPL GK of the season in his first season but downhill ever since our game against Porto. He never recovered. The reason why VDS was never on anyone's radar was probably because of his bad spell in Juve and playing for Fulham who was a mini Chelski at the time meant that he didn't have that much coverage. His age was also catching up with him. Probably one of the most important signings SAF made for this current side. He's given us 5 top class seasons.. really a steady influence for our side. Evra, VDS. Vida.. less than 15m for them. 4-5 seasons with us now. Bargain! Don't forget Rafael and Fabio cost very little and Evans came up through the youth.. Rafa could learn a thing or two about spending his money from SAF.

Threesome.. Carvalho didn't want to miss the action too.

I would love to see Robson in his prime. They said he was a lot better than Keano. Keano was a monster and can you just imagine what kind of a monster Robson was.

I'm dreaming of Rodwell.. damn.

Anderson.. out for the season. Injured his knee a couple of weeks back.

Need to win. Arsenal dropped points while Chelsea hot on our heels.

Looks like a Giggsy behind Berba to me.

v Liverpool (home)
v Bolton (away)
v Bayern (away)
v Chelsea (home)
v Bayern (home)
v Blackburn (away)
v City (away)
v Spurs (home)
v Sunderland (away)
v Stoke (home)

Travel to Bayern, host Chelsea and then Bayern, travel to Blackburn and then City, Spurs home, travel to Sunderland.. damn.

Every player have their 'traits' that you won't like. That's just the way it is.

It's been two seasons here already and he still plays the same style even when he's the lone man forward. SAF instruction is more likely the reason he plays the way he has, and also his ability and tendency to drop off whenever possible.

We loan Tosic out in January. Hope he does well and improve his game there and hopefully come back a better player if we don't sell him off that is. A left footed winger would be a great option to have.

Park 3 goals
Fletch, Carrick, Giggs, Gibson all got 4 goals each.
Scholes 6.
Ando 1..

Hopefully Gibson will develop his all round attributes because he is a goal threat and that will do nicely since we don't have that kind of player in midfield.

He got the Liam Miller syndrome.. that's we can't see him.
Ando > Manucho and Diouf combined.

RoRoRo.. what a sight that would have been.
