Elampiro,

Is that Jonathan Evans on the line up above?

Yes, Johnny Evans.

StarBoard:
Not a prospect to look forward to.

I think so too. But how else do we solve the void left in that position with Blind's injury? Can 33 years old Carrick be the solution?

Individual Highlights: Ander Herrera (Man United U21s) v Blackburn

How they lined up. If this was the correct line up, it meant Herrera played as a DM. Is he being groomed to step in for Blind?

igbsam:
What was the result of last night's U21 match ? Learnt Herrera played too.

5-0. Herrera was on target for the 2nd goal.

Evans and Rojo are back. Evans played for U-21 last night.

"It does not look good," said the Frenchman.

"There is no bone damage but there is ligament damage. It is just how [long] it is, which we should know next week.

"It is so sad because he just came back and had found his mobility. I hope it will not be surgery, just in a boot, but it will be a few weeks."

Wenger, however, refused to castigate the inexperienced McNair for the tackle that caught Wilshere, believing it to be a rookie mistake.

"The tackle caught him from the side, just when he had moved the ball a bit forwards too much," the Gunners boss remarked.

"Then, when he dived to make the pass, McNair came in to make the tackle and took him from the back and the side. When you see the picture, it is very bad.

"I don't think it was a tackle with the desire to hurt. I think he went for the ball but it was a late tackle; a tackle which a young player can do. It was a bad foul."-Wenger

They took out Shaw, we took out Wilshere. 50/50 towards the top of the table battle. But Arsenal and Man United with injuries. Biscuit bones.

You only come across such page once in a blue moon.

We got to this number before the 'blackout' some months back.

Robin van Persie has said that it is "still possible" for the club to win the title this season, as they have only played a quarter of their matches.

The Dutch striker also admitted that it "will be very hard" to win it this year but if they fail to topple Chelsea and Manchester City then the club are aiming to be back in contention next year.

Speaking as a BT Sport ambassador for The Supporters Club, Van Persie said: "This year it’s still possible as we’ve only played a quarter of our games, we’re aiming for this year but it will be very hard. If not this year then hopefully next year."

SIRcumalot:
:oKai I just watched Nani's Goal

Still tells you everything you need to know about Nani.

He did not shoot when he was supposed to have shot. He should have shot the moment the second defender went out the way. The guy who passed the ball to him is guilty of same offence. He was in better position to shoot but decided to pick Nani. At the end, they were lucky because as at when Nani decided to shoot, everywhere was blocked, but he was still able to utilize the rebound judiciously.

wow! Nani, 7 key passes. Was he taking corner kicks?

The little magician don vex these days.

City disgracing Manchester and England....losing at home with a man advantage.

Against a team David Moyes pushed all the way in the UCL.

City is a disgrace.

NANIIIII

Maduks88:
Best in la liga ever not world since he spent all his season dere and has broken/set countless records dere


This formation was used only last season and madrid used more of 4-2-3-1.maria and schurrle are both attacking midfieders so dey are comparable

We can call it a day now

Look at the chat very well.

Can Man City bounce back tonight? Roma held by CSKA

To think that Baines has only played 990 minutes. Some out and out natural number 10 like Silva have played nearly 800 minutes and could only provide 2 assists. Ukwu!!!

Why do clubs waste so much money paying these supposed creative attacking midfielders who walk arounf like headles chickens when Baines can get the job done from the number three position.

Football is unfair. Baines should be paid 250k/week.



























lol, One of those things stats does..... Going back to sipping soft drink.

It looks like Southampton are about to go on a free fall.

Newcastle has now won its last 5 matches.

It is possible Dbanj was duped of this money. People be wise of sweet talking supposed business men.

Loan, landing lenders in trouble since stone age. The lender becomes the beggar.

cupidora:
I'll sell for 500k

Lol. I am not Tonto na.

Odunharry:
lol...u and Rooney

my own is he should beat Arssnal defence and score

It's surprising because I thought the young man should out pace Rooney. You know the way the media had made Rooney to look like the slowest player in the world. . Last season I mentioned the speed with which he ran from box to box to score from a counter attack against West Ham, but it was like I was talking trash. I also remember his speed against Leverkusen at OT. But may be he doesn't run often as he said he wants to play more intelligently.

So Rooney is still so fast. Just seen some things now.

Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney was surprisingly the Red Devil’s fastest player against QPR on Sunday, beating speedsters such as Angel di Maria and Antonio Valencia, reported the Daily Mail.

The 28-year-old managed a top speed of 20.3mph against Harry Redknapp’s side, faster than any other player in the Manchester side, a surprising fact in a game that saw United run out comfortable 4-0 winners; Rooney himself getting on the scoresheet.

The new England captain, often criticised for being lethargic and slow, clocked this speed while attempting to out-run former team mate Rio Ferdinand, who was making his first appearance back at Old Trafford since leaving the club in the summer.

Here are the top ten fastest Manchester United players during that game
10) Ander Herrera – 18.3 mph
9) Daley Blind – 18.9 mph
Juan Mata – 18.9 mph
7) Marcos Rojo – 19.1 mph
6) Robin van Persie – 19.2 mph
5) Rafael da Silva – 19.5 mph
4) Johnny Evans – 20.0 mph
3) Antonio Valencia – 20.0 mph
2) Angel di Maria – 20.1 mph
1) Wayne Rooney – 20.3 mph ................. (Faster than his top speed last season-19.9, and equaled Walcott top speed last season.)

Rooney 19.9 mph made him the 7th fastest player in the world last season. That's surprising sha. But I can say he is very fast this season, considering the way he caught up with Toure in that chase from half way back into our box area.

I saw the below but I don't know where the facebook poster got it from:

Our players speed this season from training according to Carrington speed test results.
1. Rooney
2. Valencia
3. Rafael
4. Di maria
5. Shaw

Louis van Gaal has reiterated Ed Woodward’s assertion that it is unlikely Manchester United will make any signings during the January transfer window.
Van Gaal subsequently stated: "Ed did not say we should not buy; he said it's difficult in January to buy players who are of good enough quality for Manchester United. So because of that, we are not buying.
"And I agree with that, because if you buy a player, he has to be better than what you already have in your squad. It is very difficult to find such a player.
"I believe that is what he wanted to say and, believe me, we are speaking the same language."
Asked directly by journalists whether he is interested in signing Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman, I cannot discuss players with the media.
"I’m sorry, I cannot answer this question. And not only Strootman but all the players in this world. I cannot discuss it with you."

Falcao clarifies injury situation

Manchester United loan star Radamel Falcao has rubbished recent media reports that he is struggling to regain full fitness due to a serious knee injury that he sustained in January while playing for parent club Monaco.

The deadline day signing has missed the Reds' last three Barclays Premier League matches after suffering a calf injury in training. During this time, several news agencies ran unfounded stories that have openly questioned his physical condition. 

While speaking to MUTV at the Aon Training Complex on Thursday afternoon, United's no.9 was keen to provide an update on his fitness and quash the "falsehoods" that have been written about him.

“I am getting better, I feel well and I hope to come back to the pitch soon,” Radamel explained. “It is disappointing that I can’t play but I have to be calm and recover because that is important to help the team when I return to the games."

Quizzed on the media reports about his knee, he continued: “It is a bit frustrating. Well, it is more than frustrating actually and it detracts from the credibility of the media that there is so much speculation and that so many falsehoods have been written about it. 

"I think with an audience of so many millions of people, it is not right. I did take a small injury to my calf, which is something that I need to be careful with, but there are a lot of stories circulating that are pure speculation.”

GozieDiora:
No part of the story said the police agents were dragging anyone naked, dude.

The lady requested to take her bath before following them to the station and they refused (which is right according to basic police procedures).

The so-called eye witness was obviously biased given that if the woman was actually in the bathroom when the police agents arrived, there's no way they wouldn't have allowed her to finish before initiating any form of discussion or action.

The story rather suggests that the lady requested to take her bath after being told she was to go along with the agents to the station.

The police might have their own share of the blame, but let's be frank, what the tenants did is a TYPE A crime and it's an insult/disregards to the nation.

What did you see from the video I posted? I am talking from what I saw in that video and what was aired in the TV news.

cupidora:
It could be a pure act of generosity on her part 'n he doesn't know the best way to appreciate her than to publicise it. If they had something together I don't think d 500k be a big deal to him sef.

I buy into this school of thought.
