Ooops, I accidentally deleted the old topic... Didn't even know I could do that.. :-[
Where were we... Oh yeah, laughing at harv and United ;D
-
... and it looks like we will only be 8 points behind United. If they can make the Champions League, we can also finish above Utd lol.
-
Lol.. Moyes record after 26 games is better than LVGs this season... I can't believe they are waiting to sack him... There's no way he'll be in charge next season so what's the point keeping him now
Great performance from us 1st half, hope terry is OK for PSG... That should be our priority now
-
Wondered what had happened lol ;D ;D ;D
-
Ffs, after the results today if we had won yesterday we would have been just 3 points away from 4th place. Soooooo annoying!!! >:( :'(
-
Yep.. and if Chelsea hadn't of lost all those games this season.. we'd probably be top :o ::)
-
Lol, a bit different when I'm just talking about one game :P ;D
-
Yeah but its not just that one game is it.. you've lost so many games this season that you probably should of won... and probably would of won if you had a decent manager. If we would of beaten you twice - instead of the 2 draws.. we'd be 2 points behind you.. but we didn't.
Moyes gained more points in his short stint after 26 games than LVG has this season (after £285m has been spent).. how can you still back the manager realising this.. it's not like the performances are any good either... you just got your ass handed to you by Sunderland LOL.
-
It is just one game because I was only talking about one game. ::) ;)
-
Oh OK, so if you had won that one game.. you'd of been in the exact same position you are in now.. yep.. definitely that one game that's mucking up your season ;)
Rooney out for 2 months LOL.. United are fucked now 8) Great news if he's injured longer.. hopefully he'll miss the euros and England might actually a striker or two who can actually score in a big tournament.
-
Same position in the League but just 3 points away from 4th place.
Hopefully the Roonster being out will mean that Keano will be given a shot. I'm really surprised that he hasn't had much of a chance during these last few years. Or maybe young Rashford will break through..?
-
Shrewsbury must be slight favourites for the game on monday wouldn't you say Jman??
-
Surely if they don't win that they will sack Fat Head... that's the only concern here.. ;D ;D I want him to carry on long enough to absolutely make sure they don't get a CL place or win a trophy - and its looking good so far. ;D ;D
-
That was a bit jammy from us, despite owning most of the possession, we played crap... Mikel was bloody useless again and another poor goal to give away. Soton probably should of had a penner and our 1st goal was very soft. Still a win is a win... Nearly in the top half of the table now ;D
-
Bet several Chelski players have nosebleeds now :P ;D
-
BIG gamble from Van Gaal today, starting with Rojo:
De Gea
Varela Carrick Blind Rojo
Schneiderlin Herrera
Mata
Lingard Memphis
Rashford
Bench: Romero, McNair, Riley, Fosu-Mensah, Weir, Januzaj, Pereira
Great to see Timothy Fosu-Mensah breaking through, another future star right there. ;D
De Gea is back too.
-
Nobody injured in the pre-match warm-up...yet :o :-\ ;D
-
A STUPID early booking for Varela. >:(
-
Nice! Rashford puts United a goal ahead as arse were starting to get in the ascendancy. ;D
-
And another one for Rashford. Nice build-up play again and Rashford sticks it in with his nut. ;D 2-0 8)
-
Bollocks, Welbeck makes it 2-1. >:(
-
2-1 to United at halftime and to be fair arse deserve to go in level on balance of play. ;D
-
Fosu-Mensah on for Rojo, another bloody injury >:(
-
3-1, goal from Herrera and Rashford with the assist. Bit of a lucky deflection though.
-
3-2 now, goal from Ozil. Not over yet! :o
-
Van Gaal is awesome lol ;D ;D ;D
-
Aw ffs, Rashford injured now. Back up to 14 injuries :o :(
Adnan on for Rashford.
-
3-2 final score...and Graham Souness looking like a twat as a nice bonus lol ;D
-
arse's next 3 away games - the Spuds, the Hammers and the Toffees. :o
I'll pmsl if they lose all 3 lol ;D ;D ;D
-
Looks like we may have Darmian, Smalling and Martial back tomorrow with a bit of luck. Tbh I think I'd be tempted to just bring in Smalling and have the other two on the bench...although having Rashford and Martial on the pitch at the same time with the pace they both have could be VERY interesting. :o 8)
-
Very quick goal from Kennedy put us ahead, we've looked dangerous but Norwich have had a few good chances too.
The pass back clearly hit Jerome so nothing to say there but Costa is clearly offside for his goal, Norwich unlucky to be 2-0 down at HT but we have been the better team overall.
Title winning form at the moment 8)
-
2-1 final score, Norwich were unlucky to get nothing out of that.
Up to 8th ;D
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Varela Blind Fosu-Mensa Rojo
Schneiderlin Herrera
Mata
Memphis Martial
Rashford
Bench: Romero, McNair, Lingard, Darmian, Weir, Riley, Rothwell
Happy with that selection, great to see Timbo starting. No Carrick though, probably being rested rather than an injury I reckon.
-
We're riding our luck a little in these first 25 minutes :o
-
A fucking awful first half from United. We'd be at least 0-2 down if it wasn't for De Gea. Watford have defended well to be fair but we REALLY need to pick up the pace and create more chances.
And the red scouse gits are beating Citeh too. >:(
I can see us losing this game if the second half is anywhere near as bad as the first for United. :(
-
Mata injured now...think he might have run it off though.
Much better from United. Rashford and Martial have switched positions and Rashford is skinning them.
-
Darmian on for Rojo.
-
Lingard on for Herrera.
-
Mata, fantastic free kick. 1-0. We deserve fuck all from this too. :o
-
Well we managed to fluke that 1-0. Spurs lost, arse lost and Citeh lost. Noice ;D
Bit of a weird season this one :o
-
A bit of a weird season?
Not like you to understate things Harv.
-
;D ;D ;D
-
If the league started on Jan 1st 2016.. Chelsea would currently be top of the table.. alas! ;D
United for reference.. would still be 5th... ;)
-
Team news for United, 4 changes:
De Gea
Darmian Smalling Blind Rojo
Carrick Herrera
Mata
Lingard Martial
Rashford
A much more experienced back four today but I can't see them all playing 90 minutes.
-
A REALLY stupid booking for Mata, interfering with a free kick. >:(
Game started off well but has calmed down a bit in these last 5 minutes or so.
And now Mata gets sent off. Fucking twat. >:( >:( >:(
-
0-0 at halftime. Can't believe that Mata was so fucking stupid. :o
Both Lingard and Rashford are looking like our best bets to create something from wide left and wide right respectively but the pressure is really on now. :-\
-
Schneiderlin on for Herrera.
-
Shite, 1-0 down. We've been the better side this half too. Good goal too :'(
-
Memphis on for Rashford.
-
Fosu-Mensa on for Darmian.
-
1-0 final score. That's us 3 points away from 4th place and Citeh with a game in hand. Although as we've seen in recent weeks things can change pretty quickly and there's plenty of games to go.
-
You looked shite against Watford and shite against the baggies... Not much has changed :D
Love how you say you are 3 points off 4th... You aren't even 5th lol. Queue of teams ready to overtake United, you could find yourself in the bottom half of the table come the end of the season ;)
-
Nah, we'll bounce back. We usually do. Having Mata suspended is going to hurt though.
-
Your next games are Citeh, Everton and Spuds... Good luck with bouncing back ;D
Oh and you've got Leicester before the end of the season... I think you'll finish 8th ;)
-
Our record against better sides is better than most. Things can change VERY quickly from one week to the next this season. There's plenty of twists and turns to go before the end of the season.
-
Just one point today for the Berties, that's 4 points difference now. ;D
-
Copped a temporary ban from the official Chelsea club forums for suggesting I might chant "Emenalo just fuck off and die" at the last game of the season because our useless technical director and board have fucked us up the arse with a dildo of monumental proportions.
;D ;D ;D
-
lol.. still the most successful club in the past decade though drags.. we'll be back to winning ways next season
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Darmian Smalling Blind Rojo
Carrick Schneiderlin
Mata
Lingard Martial
Rashford
-
It's all Citeh during these first 10 minutes :(
-
Nice goal from Rashford. United go 0-1 up.
I love it when these anti-agenda pundits get proved wrong. 8)
-
Sterling off with a groin injury. No big loss for Citeh lol ;D ;D ;D
-
United go in at halftime a goal ahead. The movement of Rashford, Martial and Mata are causing the Bitters all sorts of problems, and only Navas is a threat to United so far.
Had to switch to NBC Sports because the Sky Sports stream was playing up.
-
Hart off injured now.
-
Valencia on for Rojo, Darmian will probably move to left back.
-
Schweinsteiger on for Mata.
Citeh seeing plenty of the ball again but not making the most of their chances so far. If they keep this up I can see them getting an equaliser. >:(
-
Smalling VERY lucky not to get a second yellow there :o
-
Fosu-Mensah on for Darmian who's having problems with cramp.
-
6 minutes injury time :o :(
-
0-1 at fulltime. That's just a gap of 1 point now. 8)
United defended well but Citeh wasted plenty of good opportunities. Don't think we did enough to deserve the win but I don't give a monkey's lol :P ;D
-
Unchanged side for United:
De Gea
Darmian Smalling Blind Rojo
Carrick Schneiderlin
Lingard/Mata
Mata/Lingard Martial
Rashford
I'm expecting Mata and Lingard to continue to switch their roles as the game progresses, I'm surprised that Martial isn't doing this too tbh.
-
Looks like Lingard is the number 10 and Mata as the 'false right winger', no switching yet.
Everton looking dangerous on the break so far.
-
United have just edged the first half but it's the same old problem with attempts not being on target. 7 attempts on goal and 0 on target. The attempts on goal that would have been on target have been blocked. Blind and Stones have been brilliant, the Toffees have only had one attempt on goal so far. Martial and Rashford looking more likely to score.
-
Timbo Fosu-Mensah on for Rojo. Timbo coming in as right back and Darmian switching to the left.
-
Nice bit of build up play, great work from Timbo and Martial puts United 1-0 up. ;D
-
Carrick is having a shite game so far, think he's about to come off with Herrera coming on to replace him. Yup, Herrera on for Carrick.
-
Blind injured, looks like a hamstring strain. Valencia on playing right back and Fosu-Mensah in the middle.
-
1-0 final score and Martial got the 1000th Premiership goal at Old Trafford. 8)
Did enough to deserve the win I think but we REALLY need to get more chances on target. :o
-
Points dropped by both arse and the Hammers with their draw, another defeat for Chelski too. Hopefully the Baggies are going to nick some points off the Bitters this evening. A win for United tomorrow would put us 3 points away from third place...
...which is why we'll probably get beat lol :o ;D :(
-
Spurs vs United is delayed cos the coach is stuck in traffic. So much for the anti-congestion measures that our Council Tax has been paying for for the last couple of years :o :-\
-
Team news for United, kick off is at 4:30:
De Gea
Fosu-Mensah Smalling Blind Rojo
Carrick Schneiderlin
Lingard
Mata Martial
Rashford
Edit: Oops, forgot to include De Gea :o ;D
-
It was pretty much all United for the first 15 minutes but during these last 3 minutes or so Spurs have improved their game.
-
A rare mistake from De Gea and Timbo saves a goal with an outstanding tackle in the box. :o
You would hardly believe that he isn't a natural defender, he's actually a shit-hot central midfielder.
-
0-0 at halftime, very few chances created by either side. Spurs have had 4 and United have had 2 and none of those chances have been on target. United were all over Spurs for the first 15 minutes but after that Spurs have upped their game and now both sides appear to be cancelling each other out. :(
-
Young on for Rashford at halftime.
-
Looks like Young is playing up front. He's put in some great performances in that position for the U21s.
-
Darmian on for Timbo who has picked up an injury. He's the MOTM so far. :(
-
Bollocks. 1-0 to Spurs >:(
-
Shite, 2-0 down now. Game over I think :'(
-
Wtf, now it's 3-0. Whoops lol ;D
-
What an absolute fucking disaster lmfao :o ;D ;D >:( :'(
-
It is funny that you still believe you can finish in the top 4. ;D ;D
Playing Young up front - stroke of masterclass from Looney Fat Head ;D I think I read somewhere afterwards that Looney has now played Young at right back, left back, right wing, left wing, center mid and striker.. you wouldn't mind so much if the player was world-class.. but it's Ashley Young ;D ;D
And Darmian... who I think you championed as being the signing of the season at the start didn't you harv? lol.. what a shower of shit he was.
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Blind Rojo
Schneiderlin Fellaini
Roonster
Mata Memphis
Rashford
-
United a goal up at halftime, goal from Rashford. The Roonster is having a great game so far. 8)
-
Looks like the VIllains aren't dead and buried yet. :o
-
1-0 final score, disappointed that we didn't score more. Villa showed signs of life towards the end of the game but not enough to avoid relegation.
-
Just seen that Chelski got hammered >:(
-
Hammered is an understatement
-
PSG are rumoured to have approached Mourinho for their manager's position. I'm REALLY hoping he says yes!!! :o
-
He's already got a contract in place with Woodward though.. so I'm pretty sure he wont say yes. ;D ;D
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Blind Darmian
Schneiderlin Roonster
Lingard
Mata Martial
Rashford
A good attacking side there. :o
-
What a fantastic own goal from Delaney :o >:( ;D ;D :o
How bizarre :o
-
Palace lucky not to be playing with 10 men there. :o >:(
-
1-0 at halftime, and United deserve the lead. We've been all over them like a Rooney rash. :P
-
A cracking goal from Darmian, 2-0 to United. ;D
-
Smalling may have picked up a knock, hopefully he'll be able to run it off.
-
2-0 final score and a good result combined with a good performance for the first time in a while. Hopefully arse are going to drop points tomorrow after Citeh dropped two last night. With Citeh and arse playing each other before the end of the season we could possibly see United getting 3rd place if we win our remaining games of the season, although we do have Leicester and West Ham to play which is going to be a tough ask.
-
Hi all, is that insufferable idiot Dross1234 still on this forum?
-
and what about " lack of" is he still around?
-
Ross hasn't been seen for years.
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Blind Rojo
Carrick Fellaini
Roonster
Lingard Martial
Rashford
Just one change from the side that beat Everton. We need to win all of our remaining games and there needs to be a winner in the CIteh v arse match and we'll be in fourth place at the end of the season. ;D
-
A great start for United. The Foxes have hardly touched the ball, United go 1-0 up. Martial the scorer. 8)
-
Bollocks. 1-1 now. Game on :o
-
Leicester should have had a penalty there :o :-\
-
1-1 at halftime. A nervous start from Leicester to begin with but their goal settled them down. A nice open match with United having the better chances. ;D
-
Mata on for Lingard.
-
Herrera on for Fellaini.
-
Memphis on for Rashford.
-
United should have had a penalty there. >:(
-
Leicester down to 10 men.
-
Bollocks. 1-1 final score, that's our fourth place buggered now I think :'(
-
Fucking typical. Citeh are 2.0 down at the moment. If they get beat today, they get beat by arse and we win our last 3 games then fourth place is still on. But we've got both Spurs and West Ham to play. :-\
-
Whoops, we've already played Spurs. :-[
We've got Norwich away, West Ham away and Bournemouth at home.
Should still be possible as long as arse beat Citeh.
-
Well the Bitters got beat 4-2 by the Saints so today wasn't a complete disaster, but if we had won today that would have put us 2 points behind them with a game in hand. We've failed to capitalise on bad results for arse and Citeh so many times this season.
Fellaini will probably get a suspension post-match for his elbow on Huth but if Huth doesn't get the same then that's going to be a real travesty. >:(
Fellaini has always been too free with his elbows in the past but in this case his elbow was quite justified imo :o
-
Leicester have just won the Premiership :o
Never thought that would happen, major props to Ranieri. He deserves it, he always comes across as a REALLY nice bloke. Just a bit pissed off that the Leicester fan that owes me £600 is getting any sort of happiness.
-
Wow.. sour grapes from Spurs last night... I hope they get the book thrown at them... 9 bookings (the most for a single side in one match in PL history).. then all the tackles that Twattenburg let go... Dier should of been sent off at the end.. Lamela stamped on Fabregas' hand, Dembele with the eye gouging.. Cochettino running onto the pitch.. then the riot at the end... it was a bit of a circus at times and I've no doubt we'll get fined for failing to control our players but Spurs definitely a bunch of bad losers!
In terms of the football, it was a good match for the neutral - poor defending let us down in the first half and a good performance in the 2nd half got us back into it - we bossed most of the game though. Hazard played his best game all season and a fantastic goal - shame he hasn't played like that all season. Fair play to Leicester, but we'll be back next season - no doubt about that.
-
It's so good to be back at home in the Premier League ;D ;D

-
A good weekend for United but we had 2 more injuries to add to the list. Martial was injured during the warm up and Darmian was injured in the first half. What followed was a shite performance from United but we scraped a 0-1 win.
arse and the Bitters drew 2-2 this afternoon leaving us just 2 points behind Citeh with a game in hand which we play on Tuesday against the Hammers at Upton Park, and they haven't lost there since August apparently, according to one of my mates who just texted me. :o :-\
Still, it's in our own hands now. If we win our last 2 games we're guaranteed fourth place. After a second ridiculously unlucky run of injuries Van Gaal deserves a lot of credit for putting us in that position. You give me the FA Cup and fourth place at the end of the season and I'll bite your proverbial hand off. Still a long way off getting that yet though, we could end up with winning bugger all and 7th place :o :-\ :o
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Blind Rojo
Schneiderlin Herrera
Roonster
Mata Martial
Rashford
No Carrick which is a surprise, haven't seen the bench yet though.
-
Looking like Herrera and the Roonster are switching positions, Herrera is playing as the number 10.
Carroll is going to cause us a few problems now that Fellaini has been suspended. :-\
-
Great. West Ham fans have attacked the United coach. Kick off has been delayed for 45 minutes. Players must be shaken up by that, hope it's not going to affect our performance :-\ >:( :-\
-
Shite. 1-0 down already. >:(
-
1-0 down at halftime and United are lucky it isn't 3 :o :'(
-
Carrick on for Schneiderlin for the second half.
-
Great awareness from Rashford and Martial makes it 1-1. ;D
-
United pace gets a second goal. 1-2 now. West Ham could be paying the price of their blistering start to the game, perhaps..? Debatable whether Martial was going for a cross or a shot, the former is more likely than the latter imo. 15 minutes to go yet though.
-
Bollocks, 2-2 now lol :o >:( ;D ;D ;D
-
3-2 and I think that's game over >:(
-
Yup. 3-2 final score which leaves us relying on Swansea beating Citeh on Sunday. Still possible but not too likely imo. :(
-
United might want to consider a sponsorship deal with Garmin or Tom Tom, if they're consistently arriving in London an hour later than expected...
-
;D ;D ;D
-
Well that's Martinez gone!
-
Chelski have just offered Terry a new 1 year deal :o
-
Wtf, 2 stands have been evacuated at Old Trafford :o
45 minute delay to kick off :o
-
Match abandoned :o
And Citeh have gone a goal up.
Must be some sort of terrorist threat. Cunts. >:(
-
A suspect package apparently :o :-\
-
Well the sniffer dog is having fun lol ;D ;D ;D
-
And that's United with no champions league football next season.. Good one fat head!! ;D ;D
-
Well you never know, we might end up winning 19-0 :P ;D
-
Lmfao ;D ;D ;D
Looks like the 'bomb' was a dummy left in the ground by mistake after a training exercise :o
Van Gaal is going to be furious, means that Palace have a few days more preparation for the Final on Saturday.
-
He ain't going to be all that furious. If they'd played today he'd have fielded his best eleven, in hopes of snatching 4th place.
Now he knows he just needs a draw for his best (realistic) possible finish he can rest a lot of his first team.
-
Yeah exactly what I was thinking Late.. it actually works out better for United knowing that they can't get 4th place
-
Van Gaal wants fifth place to prevent our season starting too early.
Old Trafford is half empty :o :-[
-
Another United goal for the Roonster. 1-0. 8)
-
Lee Dixon is a fantastic co-commentator. It's an absolute travesty that he hasn't been snatched up by the UK stations. He pisses all over Keown.
-
Rashford makes it 2-0. ;D
-
3-0, goal from Young.
Only 16 goals short :( ;D
-
3-1, own goal from Smalling and that's the Golden Glove gone for De Gea.
3-1 final score.
-
I got £15 back from my bet on United to finish outside the top 4 - best bet of the year ;D ;D ;)
-
And JT has signed that one year contract extension!! YES! ;D ;D 8)
-
Chelski are getting a bit desperate, don't you think..? They should have started on promoting their younger defenders to the senior side years ago. Or bought some in. :-\
Just look at United's defensive record since Van Gaal got rid of the old fogies. Last season in particular was VERY impressive considering the injuries we had at the back.
I'm hoping that were going to keep Van Gaal in the job. He's sorted out our problems at the back, next up is upping our scoring rate. The best sides in the world have been built from the back.
-
Yes.. selling all those players has brought so much success to United.. oh that's right.. you've won fuck all for the past 3 seasons! ;D ;D
Fat Head managed a measly 66 points this season.. 2 more points than the Moyes season... except Fat Head has spent £250m on new players since then...I think that tells its own story. I hope you keep him on too.. it would be so funny.. plus I'd be able to wind you up all of next season - missing out on top 4 again would be nailed on!
Anyway...
Zouma - 21, Dave - 26, Rahman - 21, Miazga - 20, Courtois - 24.
We have plenty of youth talent breaking through at the club - so don't you worry about us harv. Why would we get rid of our club captain and probably still the best CB in the premier league? Even just playing half a season will make a massive difference. I hope we give him a final year next year too.
-
We haven't won anything in 3 seasons but we're MUCH better defensively. United are in a transition period. The last transition period we had was under Fergie and that lasted 3 seasons and we still won 2 trophies during that time. Van Gaal has been VERY unlucky with injuries these last two seasons and we're in the FA Cup Final at Wembley on Saturday.
The problem at United was primarily at the back with several players, just like Terry, passed their best and Van Gaal appears to have sorted that out. Next up is increasing our goals scored.
I don't think we'll spend that much money in the Summer because we don't really need to.
-
Funny that, usually when teams play defensively, they seem to concede less goals and score less goals... oh look... ::) If you are happy playing that way and ultimately achieving 66 points.. then good for you.. I certainly wouldn't be - most united fans I know IRL want United to lose the FA Cup so it guarantees Fat Heads exit. Personally I don't think it matters, I believe Mourinho has already signed a pre-contract and Woodward wouldn't want the humility of paying him for nothing when this season has been nothing short of a disaster for you.
-
Well it looks like Rashford hasn't been put off by having Maureen at the helm, he's just signed a new 4 year deal with an additional 1 year option. ;D
Mind you, with the way that he's been playing not even Maureen could ignore him with regards to first team action 8)
