coogar: Does RVP have an epilepsy to be falling before he controls a pass? Just asking. * Coogar, have you been to Sapele before? It seems you like the place so much. E be like say u go like ogogoro well well. * You said Rooney played 6600 UCL minutes blablabla. But he scored against AC Milan, Bayern, Chelsea and Arsenal when his co striker was Berbatov. Why did Berba not a good scoring record? Even against small oppositions in group stage, Berba could return goals. Drogba and Van Persie have also been playing in the UCL for years, so I don't get why you want to trivialize Rooney's knockout stage record against big oppositions. May be the difference between Rooney and the rest was Rooney's ability to kill oppositions in knockout to get him more chance to score again against another big opposition. |

I read somewhere that Smalling is injured after playing only last Sunday. Please he should be sold to the highest bidder, I don't know if these British defenders are even conspiring to ruin the season for Manchester United. Sell all these female players please |

"It’s the right way forward as you have to speak about the good things you do but also in the areas you can improve, which is what we did the next day," van Persie said. "Everyone came in and we had a long meeting about the game. It was a really good meeting as everyone spoke up and shared their feelings." Constructive talks and effective training sessions have, feels van Persie, steadied the ship and put the players in the right frame of mind for Saturday's home clash with Sam Allardyce's Hammers. "We’ve had a good few sessions now and everyone’s feeling very positive now ahead of the game against West Ham," added the striker. "Everyone’s on the same page." The full interview with van Persie will be shown first on MUTV this Friday afternoon, in The Manager's Press Conference show from 15:00 BST. The 90-minute programme, which airs again at 18:30 and 22:00, will also feature exclusive chats with Louis van Gaal, David De Gea and, on the eve of his likely debut, Luke Shaw. http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2014/Sep/robin-van-persie-tells-mutv-manchester-united-had-frank-team-meeting-after-leicester-defeat.aspx?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=ManUtd |

ChristineC: I read somewhere that Smalling is injured after playing only last Sunday. * lol @ female players. You are right jor, it's getting too annoying. Oshoala should replace them sef. She's also a good defender across the entire defence line. * I am worried too how long Rafael can last. I don't know what the problem is. Is it the training method at OT? Only Evra was always fit. I think the sale of Oshea was a mistake. He was a good guy who was ready to sit on the bench, and come on to do decent job when and where needed. * Gaal is going to call someone from the reserve. An inexperienced player to face Agbegi West Ham. Well, United should just try to control the game. Those days, against a fast playing physical side like Stoke for instance, SAF used Scholes, Carrick, Rooney (and Kagawa 2012/13) to slow and cool the game. He puts Jones in their midst to battle. A lot of patience and ground balls. With our defenders out, we must not allow too many aerial balls into our box. DDG is also not the tallest of keepers. Those days we were safe from aerial threats with Vidic and Van Der Sar. |

We've just gotta score first and of course, score plenty. Left to me, I wouldn't risk going for inexperience or 'makeshift', especially if it is going to be a back-3 again. I still advocate a Rojo-Blind swap - Rojo to midfield in front of the back 3 and Blind behind him at CB. |

Odunharry: TOP 15PLAYERS IN THE EPL ACCORDING TO FIFA 15 so rooney has the same score with chelsea's goalie? time to put elampawa on a suicide watch then. it seems LVG isn't paying attention. the so-called commercial factor of rooney is gone. RVP has outsold rooney in shirts since he arrived in 2012. i heard falcao beasted this season so far......so why is rooney still at OT? elampiro: he does have epilepsy but it's the type that has won golden boots in consecutive seasons. healthy rooney has nothing to show for goalscoring in 11 seasons at OT.
i only go there to fück edo bïtches....
berbatov didn't start in many of those games. he didn't start against bayern, chelsea & milan. rooney was the lone striker.
how many minutes do they have? forget years - talk minutes. van persie has 25 UCL goals in 3,634 mins....rooney has 29 UCL goals in 6600 mins. you sef, see how grim rooney's stats look. he has scored only 4 goals more than RVP and there's 3,000 mins between them. rooney is a disgrace!
what's the meaning of this? the only difference is rooney has played in more knock out games than the rest and logic follows he would score more goals. look at the stats.....6,600(rooney) to 3,600(rvp) it's a disgrace rooney doesn't have more goals in europe. |

coogar: * And Mata has the same point as Chelsea reserve goalkeeper. Ukwu!!! * The lolo of the matter is that Rooney has goals against the best teams in Europe in difficult fixtures. Quarter finals and Semi Finals. Even in the final. Your other guys can only pack goals into opponents goals in group stages and mostly against small teams. RVP is a scam. |

[b]Most Biased Referee in the Epl 1.ARSENAL-MIKE DEAN The declaration of Mike Dean as referee for an upcoming fixture can lead to some very ominous predictions from the Arsenal fans. And suffice to say, Dean doesn’t disappoint. Dean’s soured relations with the Arsenal faithful stretches back to 2009, from whence he oversaw a run of 17 games, spanning four years, in which Arsenal managed only a solitary win . Not the kind of record that will fill fans with confidence. He appears to be a referee of a very conservative nature. He lets play continue and allows room for a bit of tough tackling. Unfortunately, this doesn’t often work in Arsenal’s favour, who prefer to play a smooth transitional game involving lots of intricate passing. Opposition teams have often exploited this fact by countering it with physicality, something which works very well in a game officiated by Dean. Dean isn’t completely without blame either. He has been responsible for some scandalous calls in the past. Laurent Koscielny’s red card against Manchester City, Obi Mikel escaping a red card for a portentous challenge on Mikel Arteta and Theo Walcott being denied a penalty against Chelsea are some of the bigger incidents that spring to mind. There is also the incident where he ‘appeared to celebrate a Louis Saha goal’ against Tottenham Hotspur 2.EVERTON-MARK CLATTENBURG Mark Clattenberg has become a figure of derision at the Goodison Park after his dismal showing in a Merseyside derby in 2007, which resulted in a 6 year hiatus for him from Goodison Park. Clattenberg’s infamy in the Blue side of Liverpool began when he appeared to consult Steven Gerrard before sending off Tony Hibbert on the fateful night. He then failed to send off Dirk Kuyt for a two-footed lunge on Phil Neville. He made things worse by failing to award Everton a penalty when Jamie Carragher brought down Joleon Lescott in the penalty area. His performance was so bad, he received death threats from the fans and he was prevented from officiating at Goodison for the next 6 years. His next game in charge of Everton came at Villa Park in 2012 where, he again failed to give Everton a penalty when Louis Saha was brought down in the box by Alan Hutton. The match ended 1-1. He took charge of three more Everton games after that, two of which Everton lost. All three games elicited reaction from the press for the referee’s decisions. 3LIVERPOOL-HOWARD WEBB Liverpool enjoy a fairly strained relationship with, the now retired, Howard Webb. Webb, often considered the best referee in England has been the butt of jokes that paint a very maligned picture of him, associating him with Manchester United and claiming he is heavily biased in their favor. Ryan Babel, whilst at Liverpool, was fined for indulging in a joke on Twitter which saw Webb in a United jersey. It is, perhaps, very cruel for a referee of his stature to be subject to such snide mockery, but his record with Liverpool is a bit alarming and does give credence to the claims of Manchester bias; at least in the eyes of the Reds. His last game in charge of Liverpool left them fuming as he failed to award them, what looked like a, clear penalty for a foul on Luis Suarez by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Liverpool ended up losing by a goal, and subsequently were knocked out from the FA Cup. It may look like an innocuous decision, after all many referees preferred to err on the side of caution when Suarez was involved, but his record on the whole, involving Liverpool, makes the decision look very suspicious. He has been in charge of 22 Liverpool games since 2009/10 of which Liverpool have won 6 and lost 14! 4.CHELSEA-CHRIS FOY Chris Foy has drawn some heavy flak from Jose Mourinho for what the manager believes to be is a bias against his team. Foy first drew the attention of supporters when he sent off both Jose Bosingwa and Didier Drogba in 1-0 defeat to QPR. He was harshly criticized, but ultimately the hullabaloo died down before flaring up again after a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa where both Ramires and Willian were sent off. Both red cards were deserved, but it didn’t stop Mourinho from running him ragged in the press. “During the week the players were speaking about the situation and I think from now on, the next time we Have Mr. Foy, I have to work my people in a different way because I don’t want this,” said Mourinho after the match. Foy has shown 8 red cards to Chelsea players in the 10 matches that he has officiated in, while showing none to the opposition. It is hard to judge whether they were right calls, but it is hard to side with the referee knowing some of the ludicrous decisions he has made which involves a second yellow to Arjen Robben for celebrating with his own fans 5MANUTD N MANCITY-MARK CLATTENBURG It is hard to figure whether Mark Clattenberg is biased, or just genuinely incompetent. He has had his fair share of controversies, but his record against particular clubs is so overwhelmingly poor, it is a cause of amazement he is still allowed to officiate in the Premier League. The two Manchester clubs are a few of a select breed who haven’t run into particular trouble with the referees. Some would even argue that referees have been particularly kind to them, but in comes Clattenberg to set the record straight. Clattenberg has been a constant source of consternation among both sets of Manchester fans. His record at United, once a cause of concern among opposition fans is now is now a source of joy. He has turned foe to the red side of Manchester since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. His most recent exploit came in United’s 5-3 humbling at the hands of Leicester City, where he promulgated a Leicester comeback by awarding them a penalty for a non-incident. He has become public enemy number one since the fateful day. His other victims include United’s sworn rivals, City. Manchester City have dropped important points in the matches overseen by Clattenberg. The first noteworthy incident has to be Gareth Barry’s one match ban resulting from a war of words with the notorious ref. Barry accepted his ban, but still maintans that it was Clattenberg who iniated the fued. But unlike his change of attitude towards United after a change of manager, City haven’t had any such luck. They have continued to endure under new manager Manuel Pellegrini as well, who was left fuming after Man City’s 3-2 loss to Liverpool in the run up to the title last season. Pellegrini argued that Skrtel had handled the ball in the build up to the second goal. City ended up winning the title but the wounds of that day are still to heal. Pellegrini once again reminded the world of Clattenberg’s performance after a recently concluded match against Arsenal in which Clattenberg, again, had a less than convincing performance[/b] |

ElFenomeno1: it can't be as bleak as arsënal - no league title since 03/04. we are now in 14/15 for feck's sake. how do you sleep at night? how have you been able to cope with 11 seasons of watching other clubs lift the premier league? there's no way united would go 11 whole seasons without the league. elampiro: mata doesn't earn £300k/week. mata hasn't been overhyped. he's actually underrated. 8 league goals in his last 11 games is the sort of record rooney should have but for where?
if my great grandmother with one eye is put in rooney's position @ man utd for 11 seasons, she would have scored more goals against top teams. rooney has played 3,000 more minutes than van persie. that's about 33 full matches & he has just 4 UCL goals to show for that huge difference. rooney is a failure! |

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie wants to find a way to play effectively alongside both Wayne Rooney and Radamel Falcao. Falcao's deadline-day arrival on a season-long loan from Monaco left manager Louis van Gaal with an embarrassment of riches in the final third. While the Red Devils boss is yet to find the right mix between the trio - who all started Sunday's shock 5-3 loss to Leicester City - Van Persie insists that they can all play at the same time and work well. "We want to play together," he told Fox Sports News. "We are constantly talking to each other [on] how we ca improve our game together because everyone feels that [when] we are together we are stronger. "It's quite interesting to see one of those conversations because we all have the target. We want to win games. We want to share success. I don't think we have a confidence issue, if I'm really honest." Van Persie also reiterated his faith in Van Gaal - despite United having wo just one of their first six matches in all competitions under the new boss thi season. The pair worked together when Van Gaal was in charge of Netherlands an the striker is convinced that the 63- year-old can handle the pressures th come with the top job at Old Trafford. "I think his numbers speak for itself," the forward argued. "He has succeeded everywhere he has managed. Everyone believes in his philosophy as well. "If you look at the players we have now, the staff we have, the stadium, the fans - if you add all those things up, I'm very confident for the future. |
