At this rate . .  DK would have to set a permanent stage on this thread.

mukina2:
as usual , we got very good chances and wasted them. no excuses at all  

damn

dayokanu:
The players would look at themselves at the end of the season. .

Season never start
4 losses in 7 , without having played Chelsea and Citeh

StarBoard:
Hmmm, Played 8 Lost 4.
Essays comng up. . .

hannie:
^ u be olodo rabata . . .

we are winning this . . .by jove u should know that!

no permutations will work today! 

dayokanu:
Its overrrr
Tottenham wins Arsenal

spyder880:
Please, how much is the worth of an Arsenal FC stock in the market, current price anyone?

nateevs:
Spurs could easily have scored 5 goals. Easily.

dayokanu:
Its simple Vdv shouldnt be on the wings at all. I think Defoe on the wings would be better on the right since he has the pace.

nateevs:
I was just thinking Sandro should be in this game. Spurs are being outnumbered in midfield.

nateevs:
Come on guys . . . Do I have to explain sarcasm?

nateevs:
@Ibime.

AVB will continue to rotate the players however, I am more concerned with the immediate consideration of finding the new Lampards and Drogbas . . They won't be here forever.

nateevs:
Sky Sports didn't show the hand ball in the build up.
They must have missed it. . .

They decided to show VDV chest the ball and shoot. . .
Useless Sky Sports.

dayokanu:
We can now see how brainless the "Torres makes us play better and keeps the shape argument is"

Chelsea is better without Torres.

First game without Torres and the easiest win of the season

hannie:
@Coogar

but u gree say we go win sha?

debosky:
Surely you can't deny Drogba's contribution to the fluidity today? Especially in opening up room for Lamps to make his runs into the box?

debosky:
Not talking percentages here. . . .I haven't seen Torres enable fluidity in attack for Chelski the way Drogba has done today.

debosky:
Deluded old farts always agree with each other - not much difference here.

Ibime:
In other words, Modric's effectiveness is a fallacy, and we can deduce with a degree of certainty that Modric would not make more key passes than Essien if we filter out the noise of corner kicks.

hannie:
sharrap your gutter Dobosky!

no be u cause am? abi no be u dey talk say Modric is just about 30% of Cesc's abilities?

I guess say na so u dey reason about Arteta that time . . .now u have Arteta doing well, one wonders what % u reckon he is worth of Cesc again . . .

when someone isnt in a team as good as urs, u dont need to run the player down . . .give him a chance to play in a team where comparison will be fair before running your delusion too high!

RuuDie:
As long as we don't show up with ragged approach of the last two performances. . .we have a glimmer ~ but frankly, i am not very optimistic!

This coogar won't kill me sha.
United coulnt beat Rangers but beat Chelsea and Marseille.Tell me how Chelsea equates to a Euro giant.

Ask me what Marseille has done in Europe for almost 2 decades for it to be considered an achievement to beat them.

I am a chief complainer.I agree,because I won't be deceived by attractive wing/forward play but silly midfield players like Anderson who you proclaim is the star of this United side.

Again, there is no basis for comparing league and Euro form.

Madrid haven't won the CL in a decade or so.That doesn't justify slating them and writing them off for losing to Levante,when United have lost to Burnley in recent time.Your violating your own apples and oranges theory,my friend.And it's making you lol bad.

As a United fan,you expect me to believe there is a better team in the Premier League and name such.Keep waiting,Johnny.

But you were waxing lyrical about Chelsea signing Mata with native doctor and telling me he would add guile to them.Does your Anderson offer anything to our midfield?

I'd rather be afflicted with knee-jerking than be blind.

Ibime:
So you've admitted that a corner kick which is headed by an off-balance teammate over the bar is a key-pass?

Am sure Modric gets 40 of those per season. Every match at least two corner kicks are headed over the bar directly from a corner kick. The defending team doesn't have to contest the ball, they just make sure the attacking player is too off-balance to get the header on target. James Collins and Richard Dunne do that about 3 times per match.

No wonder Stewart Downing made 80 key passes last season and Jordan Henderson made 78.

No wonder Modric made 64 key passes. If VDV let him take corners from the right-wing, maybe he would have made 85 key passes.

^^^I believed in 99 cos d squad was quite big and loaded with variety. From Ole, to Sheringham, to Cole and Yorke. Each forward bringing something totally different and unique. Players like Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, Neville would be better equipped to handle d pressure. Also after d disappointment of failing in semi's to Dortmund 96/97 and in d quaters to Monaco 97/98. I just felt d signings and previous disappointments, would motivate them to go all d way. Just like I felt Rooney, CR and some of d other players would blossom after d disappointment of 06/07 in d semi's.

Never believed in 02/03 team. One big gaping weakness was d defense. As much as pple knocked Laurent Blanc, when he played in 01/02 he brought special qualities to our defending on d continent, despite looking shite in PL.  Ruud could score for fun, but there was no experience, or consistency at d back. In knockout games this is crucial as you can't just outscore d opposition. I still remember d Madrid qf at O.T. It was an annoying match as we created more than enough chances to have even won 6-3 and gone through. But you don't deserve to win d ucl if you are giving up 3 goals at home, no matter d opposition.

Ibime:
@ Coogar,
There must be a glowing splinter in your sphincter. Hehehehe.

Is a corner kick onto a teammates head not an intentional pass?

Regarding Lamps, Cesc, Nasri, stop daydreaming. Chelsea, Manure etc may score 10 goals max from corners per season, 50% of which won't be scored directly, but rather from flick-ons and scrambles. Maximum 3-5 assists per season will be made from Lamps, Cesc and Nani from corner kicks.

Now for the last time, please tell us why all the top key passes makers are corner takers.

Abi do they hit corner kicks "unintentionally"? Hehehehehe
