coded guy:

At the risk of sounding boastful, i dont see injuries stopping us.

Any team that would want to wrestle the title from UNITED must be consistent and clinical this term.

If we meet Barca again, i would suggest playing the likes of welbeck, cleverly, young, nani, ando, park and rooney. lets see what will happen.

Guys that can harry around and have energy. Valencia, chicharito and fletcher will also be available.

Barca will still have the edge, but i will be more confident.

we trounced them in america in a game they were desperate to win under the noses of 80,000 fans.
cleverley and anderson battered barca to a pulp and their harrying led to the 2nd goal that owen scored.

barcelona actually have a weakness too - their defence is very weak but they dominate possession so much that you just have to take all the few chances that come your way. only a clinical team can beat barcelona. 4 chances, 3 goals and you win the game. teams who squander chances would get punished.

^^ 2-1 in a fairly even contest, though we were d better side, wouldn't qualify as a "trouncing". And considering they just trounced us in d ucl final a few months before, I doubt they were desperate to win.

^^
I think barca's saving grace against us is that everytime we've played them after 2008 we have always lacked our bulldog in the middle of the park. In 2008 we had hargreaves and they no see road dribble till scholes nearly killed valdes with his rocket. The last two meetings fletcher has missed them. This time if barca come up against us with anderson and fletcher they will sweat blood

hmmn, this is amusing

i think i will save this for posterity.

una sugarcane don dey long pass the farmer reach abi. . . . . . . . . . . . .

preseason win dey give confidence oooo

I have to admit i think its completely ridiculous to read anything into that pre-season friendly.

A quick one from Opta Joke's Twitter handle: Ryan Giggs won 11 trophies during the 8 yrs he slept with his brother wife,Natasha amounting to one-thirds of the total trophies(33) he has won in club football!
Now that's what i call a player!!

real madrid are vulnerable to counter attacks. . . . .they can be beaten!

Yeah yeah . . no team is invincible but i don't see Man Utd beating Los Blancos with Mou on the sidelines!

man utd slaughtered mourinho's inter in 08/09. mourinho's team did not score 1 goal in 180 mins of football.
jose mourinho's front six are very good but the back four are all mediocres. . . . .unless jose packs the bus, i expect rooney-nani-chicharito and young to destroy real madrid. it would be fun watching carvalho having a foot race with chicharito.

They usually have a few gaffes. Have you seen their "predicted" Chelsea lineup for the weekend? It has Romeu and the like

i posted it on nateevs' thread. . . .
it actually depends on the lies villas-boas told the sports journalists. . . . .nothing to do with the journos.

ferguson tells porkies, wenger too.
they know a player is fit and ready to play but they tell you he won't be ready in two weeks. . . only for the same player to start a match!

what then do you expect the journalists to print?
they go with what they hear in those press conferences. . . .blame the managers, not the journos.

SAF clearly specified he would not drop anyone of d back four that started our last 2 games, so Rio won't play. Otherwise that is likely to be d starting eleven.

De Gea; Jones, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra,; Nani, Anderson, Cleverley, Young; Rooney, Chicharito



Hmmmmm

Why no Smalling?

^^ mayb he's bin rested

Smalling was busy during d internationals so its wise to rest him. A bit surprised its Jones at rb not Fabio.

Why SAF dey like wicked Da Silva twins?

Because Jones is a beast. setup two goals already as you can see.


Cleverley on crutches.

edt: - might be a fracture

Back to back hattricks for Mr Rooney.

Ibime:

Why SAF dey like wicked Da Silva twins?

rafael has a dislocated shoulder and he said fabio was not a good choice for the brutal nature of Bolton.
was even considering dropping De Gea for this one.

There was no chance De Gea was getting dropped for this. That was all media B.S.

^^^ Don't mind d useless media. They keep constantly trying to make d guy seem like some leaking basket. Yet he has d most saves of all GK going into this weekend and now 2 clean sheets.
