I believe not even fans who would like to do a Fantasy Manager. I believe even the man utd player itself will suggest good player to fergie to buy? Are they transfer muppet too? I believe there is really no harm by saying: 'Wah VDV was great, we should have bought him' as long we do not discredit our player that is fine.

No Carrick? Alriiiight.

HE SARKS KOK.
*%#&@*@%^*(@$

it's nothing wrong for fans to hoping someone (with big name) to play for their beloved club, but it's wrong to criticize our own player(s) only after few bad display. Fletcher, Carrick, Park, Berbatov and even JOS are the victims.. what about Rooney? everybody loves him even though he only score once through penalty after the Wembley CC final, and almost no-one criticize him(at least from the fans).. why we cant treat everyone else in the club the same as Rooney?

Our team has improved as weeks gone by and almost got to the best form to be a serious title contender (NOTE: not top 4 slot, but to actually win the league!). Rafael for one has done a very good job in shutting down on-form Bale (whom he teared down Inter's RB in Maicon), Park is roaming everywhere (need to improve on the finishing though), Carrick and Fletcher are intercepting almost every threat and Berba is Berba (whom he know to score/pass beautifully)

Not forgetting to mention about Nani. Sure we'd missed Ronaldo, but if he havent moved on, who's Nani now? probably sold-off to some other league playing for some club. He'd showed maturity on his game (the way he get permission to kick the ball into goal vs Totenham shows that he respect the game and he dint intend to cheat, it's just how the game being played), but need to buckle up from so-called "acting"

if the so-called fans are in charge, most of the first XI are gone by now and our youngster will always be overlooked. Surely nobody will know the word CHICHARITO - ever

+9000.

SAF knows what's best for the team.

If sheep is in charge, Manucho and Diouf will be the awesome duo tearing apart every defence there is, including ours in training.

lol...

But I think so far not that much muppetry on the thread recently right? Just some banter for awhile, then after that we focus back on the matches at hand. I think most here do trust the team and SAF, but we just speculate a bit here and there is no harm, after all, we don't know what SAF is thinking, and he won't tell us until he's signed someone.

That's the beauty of it. SAF is just full of surprises. To be honest, I was quite baffled when he subbed Scholes in for Berba last week. Only then I see the reasons why he did so.

On transfers, you missed out when Berba came in. Goodness. There were many stayed up just to get any updates on him. It started with that video from SSN. It was fun. But then again, that Berba transfer was more on fachts than just sensational journalism.

I reckon that SAF might sign someone this January. But, it won't be a star as many would hope so. Don't get your hopes too high.

One thing to add:

Yes we are not City. That's why I am sure, inside SAF's head, he already has in mind who he thinks should be shipped out to make way for 1 or 2 signings come next summer.

If high-profile player is targetted, it is likely a 1st team player is on the chopping block.

So like it or not, our current 1st team will likely see some changes.

I think simply because someone doesn't quite like one or two of the 1st team players we shouldn't attack them and say they are glory hunter, muppets, lalang, etc... Tak-kan we must be totally loyal until we have to love every single current man utd player?

Chica is the perfect example about BOTH the muppets and the zealots.

Example: if before we signed Chica, and some 'muppet' here keep promoting Chica and saying SAF should sign him because he got potential, and we need more boost in our forwards, Macheda maybe still not so good, etc... what would the typical hardcore fans here say to him?

"Our squad is good enough, why you so muppet, why you criticise the macheda, why you don't trust SAF?"

Strong squad for Turkey trip

Let's get the win needed to reach the 10pts mark and then we can give a run-out to some of the squad members who need more game time under their belt.

ps: We alongside RM, are the only teams who yet to concede in group stage so far

Hehe but 2 goals only... Really need to put on more firepower...

we are now also the team with longest unbeaten streak among the major leagues

You give too much credit to the muppets by mentioning Chichi. Nobody knew who he was before the news broke through that we already sign a deal with his club and him. 7m, unknown.. and thank god he's good. If not we would never hear the end of it saying we should have bought VDV for the same price blabla like what happened with Bebe. Most of them see the established 'stars'. Signings that would normally cost 15m at least and most hover around the 20m mark.

We will get there. And when that time comes ..

How many matches currently? I heard it's 25++ isn't it? Don't want to jinx the team. Hehe.

Long it may continue!!!

City game coming up soon. Good game to lose in.

last defeat to Chelsea at OT in april
current streak 22 matches undefeated

Bastian won't join ussssss!

let us be the next invisible team!!!!!!

you meant invincible don't you ?

looking at the UCL table, we're not that safe yet.. if we're expected to win over Bursapor, same can be said to the other two teams. that make's 10pts for MU,8 points for Rangers and 7 for Valencia. say Rangers and Valencia draw in the coming match, that makes 9 for Rangers and 8 for Valencia. IF both can overcome MU in their respective encounter, we're out!! even if Valencia lost to Rangers, they still can archieve 10 pts (maybe we had an edge of head-to-head encounter here?)

so, nothing's safe, and we desperately need these 3 pts

Invisible? How on earth are we going to watch them on TV them? Another side of it, the opponent wouldn't able to see us either!

Of course mathetically we could still fail to qualify but the 10pts mark has always been the way we target our qualification.

Uefa Champions League : Group C Table

3 Valencia 3 1 1 1 5 2 3 4
4 Bursaspor 3 0 0 3 0 6 -6 0

Bursaspor v Man Utd, GpC, 19:45
Valencia v Rangers, GpC, 19:45

Rangers v Man Utd, GpC, 19:45
Valencia v Bursaspor, GpC, 19:45

Bursaspor v Rangers, GpC, 19:45
Man Utd v Valencia, GpC, 19:45

Assuming the other 3 teams will *as expected on paper* beat Bursaspor, it will means us with 10, Rangers 8, Valencia 7. But both Valencia and Rangers will face each other this round and both could drop points. Not to mention we will face Valencia at home so we still have the slight upper hand in terms of controlling our own fate.
