for all you know, maybe he meant that as a joke. besides, what does it mean by "want to be like Tevez?" does he mean the spirit of want to play, or dissing the manager? can be interpreted in many way my friend i personally dont think Mancini is THAT stupid to mean the latter part.

Enough is enough mate, there's no need to quote others in a sarcasm tone, over and over again, when the disagreement has already long gone. Keep on bringing up that issue, it's very annoying and if another banter starts, it's just very displeasing to other MUST members.

Sad to say, the magic of MU's no7 doesn't work on Owen

How can a champions league tie be at 7.45pm Malaysia time la, even regular premier league time also not that early.

dont think anyone should get the no7 at the moment, either they are good with their own number, or not up to the standard yet.

Maybe Bebe?

Ronaldo wasnt known by a lot doesnt mean he wasn't good. in fact he was, do you know all the players asked SAF to buy him when they played against him in 2003? either he is already good, or his potential is for all of them to see.

The number doesnt set the standard, but dont you think that number itself is magical and historic? so many legends of United wear that number. Yes, maybe you dont have to start good to wear that number. but that player must be able to continue that tradition if u get what i mean. United's no7 is always something, for whatever reason will give the wearer an extra edge. Even Owen can claim legendhood in MU's folklore with the goal against City in the 4-3 win last season.

Imagine if Manucho were given the 7

Hhmm..many said coz of Lampard's absence, but i think they played well the first few matches after his injury. Then when they started losing only they say miss Lampard. I think the main issue is they lost their core men Lampard, Terry, Essien to injury and suspension, and their backup players cant fill in that role as well as those injured ones. Terry and Essien came back for the Everton game yes, but hey...cant expect the team to immediately get back to winning ways right? they just gotta be patient and run it off, the biggest mistake they can ever do (again) is to sack Ancelotti. Changing manager is never ever a fast solution to get back to winning. my 2 cents.

or that

aah i guess i have not think properly before mentioning that

what im trying to say is, to some extend United's no7 are proven players. Cantona were proven when he came over. becks has a few season already showing his stuff before taking over. Cristiano is an exception, but like i said we dont know him, doesnt mean SAF isnt aware of his ability. Maybe not to the extend of the World's best player, but well enough to merit the 7 i guess. and Owen though hard to justify, maybe due to his past experience. Or maybe like Wan said, used to divert attention so this may be an exception.

So by saying not up to standard, i mean at this point of time, doesnt seem like any of the youngsters can be classed into that "United's magnificent 7" group yet. Maybe Bebe? Maybe Cleverley when he returns? they all need to earn the rights. What you said at the end, to give it to the player that merits it after a few season, is roughly what i meant. Of course i dont mean ALL no7 must be great hoo-haas, but they must at least prove to SAF why they belong/will belong to that group. we wouldnt want a number 7 that is only reserve material and is looking to move to other smaller clubs to get more playing time. if that happens then not the end of the world la, like some said its just a number. But its not a number that is simply given to anyone also.

u mean RE-hire? so he can kena sack again when they dont need him anymore?

oh, wikied and find out...he's merely having a Hiddink-Chelsea role for Newcastle oops my bad

But i read somewhere that he had the option to continue being the manager, but the board doesnt trust him enough?

antisocial, ataupun gaduh with Park, and the whole squad support Park.

Somehow i prefer Glazer, if compared to say owners like Abramovich who is so keen to meddle in business himself. If a junta own MU, i bet he will wanna send the players to a coal mine after a loss!

i agree. The debt has still some time to mature, so hopefully they already have a plan to deal with it when the time comes. If SAF trusted them, then i guess we should too. Besides, i'm really scared of the prospect of a single billionaire owner who will wanna do whatever he pleases because it is his team.

Izzit me of Amos looked super buff?

Or maybe it's coz of my streaming resolution, coz even SAF looks buff

What's the point of having the 5th referee when they can't even spot the ball coming off the Valencia defender from that near? Zzzzz

Ando!! 2nd goal.

i guess Tevez must have left his best friend at OT when he moved

Arbroath 36-0 Bon Accord (1885) - WTF, sending a cricket team to play football?

Real Madrid 11-1 Barcelona (1943) - so much sweeter than Barca's 5-0 or 6-2 against RM in recent years

Manchester United 10-0 Anderlecht (1956) - still currently MU's biggest win in any competitions to date, i think...

Australia 31-0 American Samoa (2001) - World Record for International matches Major reason why Australia joined AFC, or some of u might wanna say, "become asian"

AS Adema 149-0 Stade Olympique de L'Emyrne (2002) -
