Me too.

And I thought Webb was piss poor. Dodgy decisions and card spree was going on just now.

About the goal we conceded just now, I blame PIG for being too nervy. Can't really blame him though, he rarely get games under his belt.

Huhu, gol bolos tu taktik sebelum lawan Liverpool.

Takmau Stevie me or Torres yang break the clean sheet streak.

Thats why SAF told his mate Sam he let 1 in tonite.

Koh koh.

at the san siro, agreed o'shea is the better choice (just) since he is marginally better defensively, also the aerial presence... but at home, i'd go with rafael... o'shea can't bomb ahead like the young da silva can...

remember...we not only play against Inter Milan, we play against Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan. Although their result is typical Mourinho's style but do remember one thing. SAF's Man Utd only beat Jose Mourinho one time only with all the encounter..let it be Porto or Chelsea.
SAF knows that.

Legendary myth.
I wouldnt exactly say that "Rio had him covered" becuz some strikers delay their shots while some prefer to seize the chance at a given opportunity...But I agree with what you said about PIG being a little too rash in his decision. I guess being on the bench all the time din help his confidence..

Yes, Santa Cruz is good, but we all know what Sam's teams are made out of...Just like during his Bolton days.

Without the benefit of a replay, I'm pretty sure Carrick was nearest to Oojier after Scholes and Nani but was ball watching (like the rest of the defense). But then, why is Kuszchak the only one who's stupid when Nani gave the ball away, Scholes and Nani being gentlemenly over whom should clear the ball, the rest of the defense ball-watching? Because looking at your post, all 3 made mistakes but Kuszczak's the only one coming off as stupid.

It was a mess of a goal but again, as I mentioned, I don't blame Kuszczak. But again, if we were to point fingers, I'd point them at other players as well whom started the whole mess. It'd be interesting to see the opinions here if Rafael gave away the penalty. Would he be defended or hammered?

And I was mentioning Hargo in response to alien's post stating he could partner Ferdinand as a last resort. Nothing to do with Carrick's play.

P.S.: I don't like Kuszczak as our goalkeeper but I don't see how we could blame him.

it's not SAF...it's Fletcher beat Mourinho.



yeah...that's one time....draw few and lost quite a few to Jose

I would go for Fletcher Ferdinand Carrick Evra BUT it will limit our options in midfield?

CR - Giggs - ? - Park (assuming its 4-4-2)

Cant see Scholes starting another game in successive.

hmm wait. did i state that i want some serious flame war? i'm just askign what should we reply..

sorry but, can't i quote other thread??

Here we go again. Victims.. No wonder that word are associated with you guys so much on other united forums. We know there are bad apples everywhere. But there you go painting all the others with the same brush again. Well done.

gidlcin.. there's 36 points left to play. Anything can happen. But we do look strong, although we have not really been firing on all cylinders going forward as of yet. One game we look great, the others we just barely win the game.

Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed Jose Mourinho as one of the best coaches in the world ahead of Manchester United's UEFA Champions League clash with Inter Milan on Tuesday.


The old foes lock horns again.

United travel to the Giuseppe Meazza for the first-leg of their last 16 tie, and Ferguson cannot wait to again lock horns with Mourinho.

"He's one of the best coaches in the world, amazing," said Ferguson after seeing his side clinch a 2-1 win over Blackburn on Saturday evening. "I knew of him when we played Porto in 2004 but it wasn't until Jose went to Chelsea and called himself the Special One that I began to take notice of him.

"But don't forget he was self anointed! When he called himself that people sat up and I did too. But his achievements were there to be recognised.

"I don't know everything about Jose or what he does on the training ground, but you can't deny his success to win the UEFA Cup with Porto as well as two or three domestic titles in Portugal.

"Then he won the Champions League with them and that takes some doing at a club like Porto."

Fergie also had praise for Mourinho's domestic success as both clubs currently top their respective leagues.

"After that he won the two titles at Chelsea. It will be good going, too, if he wins the title in his first season at Inter - so he has made his mark alright,'' he said. "He came in and said he was the Special One and we were thinking, 'who is this?'. After that his team were thinking they'd better win and they got off to a start like nothing on earth.

''Everyone was chasing their tail for two seasons so we had to do something about it - and that's what we did.

"Jose was the instigator of the Chelsea team without question. He gave them a resilience and a winning mentality that has put them onto that higher level and it made it hard for us to compete against them."

Meanwhile, Michael Carrick believes United face their toughest test against Mourinho's men.

Carrick could slot into defence to solve the club's defensive crisis as Nemanja Vidic is suspended and England duo Gary Neville and Wes Brown both ruled out through injury, while there are also doubts over the fitness of John O'Shea, Rafael and Jonny Evans, but the midfielder is confident of success.

''Inter are as tough an opponent as we could get right now,'' said Carrick. ''They are in good form at the top of their league.

''We are both probably amongst the top four or five in Europe at the moment but that is what the Champions League is all about. You have to defeat the best if you want to win it.''

Carrick watched on last week as Inter overcame a Milan side including David Beckham in the derby at the San Siro, although that did not come as a surprise.

''Inter were good but we know what to expect anyway,'' he said. ''Going to the San Siro to play Inter is a massive game and a big test for us. Over the past two years we have been very consistent in the Champions League.

''We have not suffered any defeats since the last time we went to the San Siro and hopefully we can keep that run going.''

Yeah, whoever scored the most away goals and ended up draw in aggregate in 2nd leg will go through.
But you better hope this is not gonna happen or else i will hunt you down

Injury is part of football. But for Saha, injury is part of him. sicknote.

I disagree, our 3rd choice must be fit when called, not injuring himself while warming up.

As for the bolded part, do you mean his qualities?
