totally agree with coogar on d 2nd goal, but he could hv done better with d 1st goal men,if he was standing tall rather than bending down for shoryuken he would hv palmed d ball down easily! i am not here to criticize him o,he is still young n myt learn BUT he was partially culpable for dt 1st goal sha, just hope he learns from it.
ANYWAYS wats d latest news from d healing baths of Mancunia,who is fit n who is not?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 7:17pm On Jan 30, 2012
d 1st goal was mainly De Gea's fault but d defence didnt help.most of our defenders didnt jump but (as coogar rightly noted) were busy with their tug-of-war routine! however dis was due to their lack of confidence in d GK and they felt they had to protect him by hustling d Liverpool players away from him.
BUT at d end of d day goalies r there to make saves n d header was very stoppable HOWEVER our dear De Gea had stooped so low to conquer dt d ball actually glanced off d top of his head on its way to d net! now y would a keeper b squatting for an aerial ball?

on d 2nd goal its purely Evra's fault just cos as CAPTAIN n d MOST EXPERIENCED defender on d pitch he should know abt full back postioning especially when d oppostion hs d ball, he should hv bin goal side of kuyt n d goal would hv bin averted.many good keepers would hav saved kuyt's shot but many also would hv bin beaten so one cant blame de gea for dt

we want to win d FA cup but we want the league more! it is a more prestigious title, we are 3 points behind City, AND we r going for d big 20 league titles!
our ONLY fit quality midfielder shouldnt b risked in d FA Cup when we hv Stoke,Chelsea e.t.c coming in d league.

noise level reduction cant help torres,to ensure a torres goal chelsea has to play 11 v 0 against a team with all d opposition players red carded, FIFA pls make d neccessary rule adjustments to make dis possible!
so Torres fires blanks for chelsea and it is d fault of ramires,lampard,mata n sturridge NOT torres, he fires blanks for spain n it is d fault of xavi,iniesta,fabregas
n xabi alonso NOT torres! who r d world class playmakers n wingers who r setting up goals for clint dempsey,heidar helguson,ivan klasnic nd shane long?
pls stop talkin abt him sodomising people in 2008,dis is 2012!
even some defenders who are not been set up or teed up or watever by gerson and bruno conti hav scored more goals in d last year than torres.
coogar, ur torres defending logic is eroding ur reputation

this debate has reached its natural conclusion, as u say only time will tell if cahill is at d level of those big guys
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 6:34pm On Jan 24, 2012
am not talkin abt goal keepers,we r talkin defenders
wether lower clubs defend more or not is a moot point, in ur opinion ashley williams,stephen taylor(who appears 2ce),cristophe berra n danny gabbidon
are better defenders than terry,kompany,vidic n co just because they r not on ur stats list?
if ur answer is YES they r better than terry n co cos of their stats my response is, wow,SERIOUSLY?
if ur answer is NO despite those stats kompany n co r better than hanley,berra n his gang my response then is, WHAT IS D USE OF D STATS THEN?
cos it seems dt ur point was to prove dt cahill was a gud defender cos of those stats he shared with berra,gabbidon e.t.c if those stats r meant to show dt he is gud then dt means those players not on those stats tables r NOT AS GOOD e.g terry,skrtl,vidic n kompany!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 5:28pm On Jan 24, 2012
just saw coogar's stats
d fact dt cahill is sharing d top of those tables with such defensive "stalwarts" as  CHRISTOPHE BERRA,GARY CALDWELL,ASHLEY WILLIAMS,ROGER JOHNSON,DANNY GABBIDON N PER MERTESACKER should make it clear dt those stat tables arent worth d paper they were printed on.
u can also note d absence of VINCENT KOMPANY,NEMANJA VIDIC,JOHN TERRY,LEDLEY KING,MARTIN SKRTL in those stats,
remember lies,damned lies and STATISTICS!

LOL "mighty gooners" indeed, dem no born their father! lose 8-2 ke? not to dis arsenal team,not even wit chicharito in goal.
1st thing sha is dt scholes should not start
2nd thing is scholes,carrick n giggs must not b on d pitch at d same tym
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 1:16am On Jan 21, 2012
just read dt anderson hs suffered a setback in training so dt formation is out of d window.wont b surprised if fergie goes with just carrick n giggs in d middle(would prefer carrick n jones) wit rooney supporting either welbeck or chicharito, dis could b chicharito's game cos arsenal r bound to attack n push up leavin space behind for d lil mexican to xploit.
d other decision myt b big game park though i xpect fergie to play valencia n nani therefore takin full advantage of arsenal's frailty at fullback.
back 4 of rafael,rio,smalling n evra
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 10:12pm On Jan 20, 2012
not bad, though i would place carrick in d middle of d midfield 3 and jones to d right i.e jones n carrick swap places

he was lucky he was still young then, and d force was wit him.cant survive dt his current age
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Pride Of London by afrodoc(m): 8:52pm On Jan 19, 2012
dis argument is redundant! wether torres scored a million goals before does not matter.d fact is dat he has lost form for club and country and dis borne out by his stats and his play.
now players lose form for diferent reasons ranging from wild lifestyle(ronaldinho),domestic troubles(mario jardel),depression(super deissler) e.t.c
torres is not the first player to lose form and its possible he may never get it back.fowler lost his great form at 27 and NEVER got it back,Jardel lost his form at 29 NEVER got it back.torres slump is not only with Chelsea but wit Spain the world champions too! nobody can blame it all on these teams playin footie not Torres friendly, 1st of all they play different styles.PLUS nobody even a 50million buy is expensive enuf to want d team to play ONLY as he wants! football is a team sport n there r oda strikers on d team,wt if he gets injured for 3-6 months d team starts to learn anoda style? d fans r nt even askin him to score goals like bobby tambling for now, just b as prolific as helguson or shane long or stephen fletcher for starters! THEN Torres can demand for d team to b built around him.buying a player already on d downslope for 50million was foolishness, building a team around d same player who is now imploding
would b MADNESS

the 3rd goal was mainly Koscielny's fault.if he had chased d ball on tym he would have gotten there b4 d Swansea player but he lacked awareness of d run been
made behind him by the striker and before he knew it d guy was goal side.
dats a problem with Kos,when he plays without vermalaen he gets sloppy nd is not quick to identify danger.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 1:45pm On Jan 14, 2012
i agree he is ready NOW, was just pointing out dt ur claim he has bin ready for 2years cant b true since he hadnt even signed professional papers with United 2yrs ago.lets forget dt anyway
something is off abt d youth policy in d club at d moment, so many midfielders in d reserve team and Fergie keeps saying they r good but they arent getting a chance to play wit d 1st team AND some r nt even goin on loan.am talkin abt Chester,Petrucci,James.same thing happened with Eikrem!
problem is these guys r even older than Morrison SO when would they get their chance? funny thing is james n petrucci made d official champions league squad
BUT pogba n morrison didnt! so wat is fergie thinking?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 12:15pm On Jan 14, 2012
only time will tell if the guy is worth all d wahala (remember mikel obi anyone?)
he has d talent no doubt but contrary to wat coogar said he has not bin ready for 2years, he turned professional LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO(Feb 2010)
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 1:22am On Jan 14, 2012
shebi rooney said so himself? his football talent saved him from prison abi?
morrison has d talents for football but still looks like he wont b saved by those talents, how many court cases or convictions did rooney have as an 18yr old?
dis one no b argument na,rooney was a wild 18yr old youth YES but mainly on d pitch, ravel on d other hand has spent as much tym in court as he has spent on d pitch
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 12:22am On Jan 14, 2012
doubt if rooney is worse, morrison had 2 cases of witness intimidation against him at 18yrs plus other incidents AND there r real concerns abt his closeness to hoodlums.his upbringing seems to b way worse than rooney's ,more like john terry's(though terry turned out alryt sha)
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 11:52pm On Jan 13, 2012
well last last i am willing to trust fergie's judgement.i remember many united fans were shocked when fergie decided nt to sign tevez to a permanent deal,a few years down d line and D WHOLE WORLD sees y, carlito's way is all abt selfishness,disrespect n rocking d dressing room!
so maybe fergie feels morrison isnt worth d risk BUT dont doubt d boy's talent.in d 4-0 win against chelsea under 18(a game in which tunnicliffe smothered josh mcheachran's game) he was untouchable,same as d games against liverpool nd in d final, d boy is good no doubt and he is physically ready
d question is is he mentally ready?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 10:38pm On Jan 13, 2012
tru dat.
mayb fergie was counting on his bin a manchester boy to keep him loyal, but he is a combustible lad n wit d media hype n agents whispering sweet things into his ears dis is wt u get.his contract shud hv bin xtended last season along wit pogba's.out of dt youth side d only ones we can count on to b faithful club servants a la butt,o'shea r tunnicliffe,larnell cole nd mayb will keane.d rest arent rily dt gud anyway
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 9:05pm On Jan 13, 2012
but d club also kept faith with gibson, dont think he is in d same class as morrison.
gibson lacked consistency nd had fitness issues,take away his shooting and he is pretty average.
he has good passing range but he tends to b very careless with d ball(plays as if he couldnt b bothered to focus n confirm dt d person he is passing to is indeed his teammate).dts y u see him messing up a 5yard pass just afta switching play with a 40yarder.
morrison on d other hand has shooting,pace(wit or witout d ball),dribbling and footie intelligence in his looker.
to ur other comment,i rily dont know y fergie hasnt used him in d first team.he is better prepared than pogba IMO for 1st team action
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 7:33pm On Jan 13, 2012
at end of d day d club is bigger than any player.its one thing for rooney to hold d club ransom,anoda thing for d club to b held ransom by an 18yr old unproven though talented boy who also happens to be a mob enforcer.
agents r rily destroying d game in certain respects cos all they r afta is a bigger slice of d football pie! mikel obi n anelka r prime examples of agent assisted career
wreckage.
just hope fergie finds a way to get to d boy cos with d right tutelage n application d guy is anoda wayne rooney
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 2:36pm On Jan 13, 2012
but fergie said the club rejected d bid.
it will be a real shame if these guys go cos in tunnicliffe,pogba n morrison we had d best central midfield in youth football in England last year.
i dare say dts d best central midfield in our youth set up since scholes n butt.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 1:34pm On Jan 13, 2012
a newcastle bid for morrison turned down by united.
hmmm fergie beta keep d good young players o! park n giggs shud start making way for morrison n pogba
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by afrodoc(m): 11:01am On Jan 13, 2012
Gibson off to Everton for 1M Pounds, up to 2.5M plus add-ons
good riddance i tink n maybe now pogba n morrison will get d opportunity to play, though i heard pogba n his agent want out

when chelsea was on top and winning matches 3-0,4-0 they refused to blood their youngsters or give reserve players a chance.
instead of looking out for the future they were assisting their players in setting personal records e.g JT almost went a whole season without bin substituted in an EPL match,Lampard played for years n years without missing a match.these records were set in matches Terry or Lampard could hv bin rested for.how many young chelsea players hv bin given a real opportunity wit d first team?
one is not say chelsea shud go d other extreme n follow wenger's ideology of livin n dyin by d youth players but there obviously is a middle way e.g SAF's way, marrying youth with xperience
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Alex Song Vs John Mikel Obi by afrodoc(m): 11:19pm On Dec 22, 2011
Romeu is a good young player with potential to be great but he is not as good as Song AT D MOMENT, i dont tink Barca would hav let him go if he was dt ready.
even chelsea bought him for the future but d perennial injury problems of essien and mikel's continuous slide hav fast tracked him to d 1st team.
like hardunii said mikel is making him look world class,he is nt dt gud YET
