The team is too strong o. Moyes wants to win this one at all cost. Valencia, Rafael, DDG, Evra and Welbeck should have been in the bench. Let's hope no injuries from this match. Nani is getting too few games. |
David Moyes has warned Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic that he faces a battle to secure a first-team spot. “Nemanja is just about ready to play now, but we have five centre-halves. We can use Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Jonny Evans, Rio Ferdinand and him. There is competition for places there and you are going to have to play well to stay in the team.” [Source: thesportreview.com] ................................................................................. David Moyes admits he's yet to recieve any loan offers for Wilfried Zaha. Zaha's six-minute substitute outing at Aston Villa on Sunday was only his fourth United appearance and the 21-year-old has made just two starts. "I did say to Wilf if I didn't feel he was getting enough games, I would consider it, obviously if we've got injuries or other reasons, I wouldn't take it on board. "But the truth is we haven't had anybody phoning up and wanting to do that it the moment. While it's like that, I am fine."

Furthermore, it is also being reported that he is set to make his long awaited return in the Boxing Day fixture at the KC Stadium, against Hull City. [Source: Daily Mail, Sports Mole] |

Dec 18, 2013 4:31:00 PM The Bayern Munich winger has snubbed his team-mate in favour of the Real Madrid ace, and believes the final three-man shortlist is fully justified Bayern Munich attacker Arjen Robben believes it should be Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and not team-mate Franck Ribery who wins the Ballon d'Or. Ribery helped Bayern to an unprecedented treble alongside Robben last season and has continued his irrepressible form into this campaign under new coach Pep Guardiola, earning him a place in the final three-man shortlist alongside Ronaldo and Barcelona's Lionel Messi. However, Robben, who last year had a reported dressing-room bust-up with the Frenchman at half-time in the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, says it should be Ronaldo who is crowned this year's Ballon d'Or winner for his exceptional individual performances for both club and country. "I never had the award on my mind, even though I was nominated within the last 23 players," he told Voetbal International. "It's always the same players who are left over: Ronaldo, Messi and now Ribery joins these two, which is fully justified. "Because it's an individual award, I think it will go to Ronaldo. He really deserves it." The winner of the award, which has been won by Messi for the last four years running, will be unveiled at a Gala in Zurich on January 13. http://www.goal.com/en/news/1785/fifa-ballon-dor/2013/12/18/4488442/robben-ronaldo-over-ribery-for-ballon-dor?ICID=HP_BN_1 |
StarBoard: Not so.I just want the manager to prioritize. The EPL matches are more crucial to us at this point. But I guess he might be aiming to see if he can get any trophy. |
Time magazine had earlier named Pope Francis the person of the year. The same Time magazine named Edie Windsor the 3rd person of the. Year. The woman who got US supreme court to cancel the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman. I shake my head. |
Pope Francis named ‘Person of the Year’ by leading gay rights magazine By Jenn Selby Tuesday 17 December 2013 Happy birthday to Pope Francis, who has once again been named 'Person of the Year', this time by a leading lifestyle magazine that actively promotes gay rights. The religious leader is the December coverstar of The Advocate magazine, on which he appears with a photoshopped tattoo on his cheek, spelling out the message “NO H8”. On the right of his portrait shot is the quote that earned him the title, which he delivered during an interview with reporters in July on his way from Brazil to Rome. He said: “If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?” However, the pontiff’s history of supporting gay rights hasn’t always been so revolutionary. For example, he stridently opposes same-sex marriage and fought against laws being passed to allow it when he was the archbishop of Buenos Aires. “Let’s not be naïve: This is not a simple political struggle, but an attempt to destroy God’s plan,” he said in Argentina of same-sex marriage in 2010. “It is not just a bill but a move of the Father of Lies, who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.” Nonetheless, he was still picked over Edie Windsor of the US Supreme Court’s DOMA case, whom the magazine refers to as “a hero to LGBT Americans for taking the final punch in the fight against the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act…” On their decision to crown him their ultimate ‘Person’ of 2013, The Advocate said in a statement: “Pope Francis is leader of 1.2 billion Roman Catholics all over the world. There are three times as many Catholics in the world than there are citizens in the United States. Like it or not, what he says makes a difference. “Sure, we all know Catholics who fudge on the religion's rules about morality. There's a lot of disagreement, about the role of women, about contraception, and more. But none of that should lead us to underestimate any pope's capacity for persuading hearts and minds in opening to LGBT people, and not only in the U.S. but globally… “Francis's view on how the Catholic Church should approach LGBT people was best explained in his own words during an in-depth interview with America magazine in September. He recalled, ‘A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‘Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person? We must always consider the person.’ “In this statement, however, as some bishops have explained, Pope Francis was simply reinforcing what has always been the teaching of the Church: that all persons are to be treated with dignity and respect.” The magazine goes on to paint a picture of just how sharply contrasting Paul Francis is compared to his predecessors, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, the former of which became Pope when then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was openly declaring homosexuality to be “intrinsically evil”. The title is the second awarded to Pope Francis in 2013. Just last week, TIME magazine named the pontiff their ‘Person of the Year’. He beat the likes of whistleblower Edward Snowden, Miley Cyrus and Barack Obama, among others, to win the prestigious honour. See TIME Magazine's Person of the Year story here In other news, Pope Francis was forced to defend his economic and social ideologies after prominent conservatives accused him of coming forward with “pure Marxism”. Speaking to an Italian newspaper yesterday, the pope described Marxism as “wrong”, but refused to condemn people who hold left-wing views. The comments came after the Pontiff railed against the “new tyranny” of unfettered capitalism in an 84-page document published last month. The “apostolic exhortation” sets out the terms by which a pope intends to run the Catholic Church – yet it was slammed by the outspoken conservative US talk show host Rush Limbaugh. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/news/pope-francis-named-person-of-the-year-by-leading-gay-rights-magazine-9009729.html |
JayKayMaybachz: Hmmmmm!!! Guys worryless about Chelsea..... Talk bout ours today, Cuz you know our clueless manager na.....The squad is large enough to rest the regular players. Let him play Lindegaard, Buttner, Fabio, Nani, Zaha, Young, Chicharito, etc. Capital 1 cup should be our least of worries now. My thought. |
Leyqute: I didn't see the match but my eyes were like (O.0) when I checked livescore. Chelsea didn't score any goal- they got the lead through an own goal. And Sunderland equalised a minute before the end of 2nd half and got the winner a minute before the end of extra time. Bravo. I know Chelsea would probably've played some dismal football buh the EPL teams are so fierce. The toughest match may not be against your title rivals, it could be against a team languishing in the bottom half of the table.Chelsea game is becoming dull. The mistake Mourinho made was to make his three subs with the believe that those on the pitch would see out the game. Sunderland were pressing, but they didn't look like a team that could put the ball in the net. They almost immediately scored 2-1 after they equalized. The changes actually killed Chelsea. Only Hazard could play in the whole of midfield to attack. Three changes had been made and there was no way to bring Oscar. It looks like Ramires and Mata were not on the bench. One of those things. |
....and Chelsea bundled out. Great game by Sunderland. Kudos to Brown and Oshea. |
elampiro: The FA should give the Premier League trophy to Man City.I said it before. I didn't know they had conceded so many goals. But may be with time, Kompany will organise their defence better. |
So Iheanacho is likely to sign for Man City. Keshi has released him from camp to travelled to England for a contract talk with City. |
nitrogen: What do you know? I aint a beer palour football analyst, so I choose to ignore you, mind you, you can never change, goodluck with your a$$ lickingJust let me know when you pass your KG1 exam. |
AVB sacked. |
nitrogen: The bolded made me LOL, see! If you play a Rooney behind a Rooney, twill be the same result, Rooney is good, but he is giving way for inferiority complex, he feels insecured because of a certain VP, the chap (VP) is just the best striker in the squad, everybody knows, including your god, VP can score from any angle at anytime,he can bring us out of any mess with ease, can you remember his first game last season, that he scored a hat-trick (we were loosing, before he scored two wonderful goals) he made us win the league last season, if it was Roo upfront, then the league wouldn't have been ours, last two seasons, your god was our main man, but we didn't win the league, he couldn't even top the chart (goal scorers), what a shyte you both are.Your poor football knowledge is very shocking. Your knowledge about Man United is a shame. Even last season you can't even recall. You are a blind follower of some ayagayagayagayos. Your football analysis sense is below kindergarten. RVP can score from any angle ni RVP can score at any time ko. How long have you been here that you post like this? I will advise you just be reading Coogar's, Fabville's and Starboard's posts for about six months before you gain elementary skills of arguing about Rooney with me. You don't even know Rooney's function in the team. You are just an Ekwe sample trying to rob shoulders with the ayagayagayagayos. |
nitrogen: Elamps baba, Rooney's ass licker, your god is nothing but zero upfront, okay, let's do it this way: I bet Rooney will be our main striker in our next match (I pray it isn't that way sha), and believe me, we will loose the game or play a draw, watch out o!So said you. Who are you among the committees of world football leaders? Play Rooney behind Rooney and you will see the wonders of Rooney. Go and think about this. The problem is that no one can deep for him with same quality he deeps for others. |
elrony: The above makes me want to shoot some of our players,then beat some senses into dat clueless military sergeant of a managerThat's 13 points in the dust bin. At worst, we should have scratched out 7 points there. With the tough fixtures some of our rivals have, we should have gone top into the New Year. But we can only lament now. May be what happened will make our management team to take a different approach to buying players. |
Gosh! Even if we win our 3 matches before new year, we will end up with 34 points. Our rivals are already there. We messed up the Everton and Newcastle games. Then West Brom, Southampton and Cardiff. We should be looking at February/March for any full recovery. |
"To recover from the illness he has, it is incredible credit," said Moyes. "I thought he played really well." "To people who do have illnesses, it says to keep going and believing, and Darren has done that," said Moyes. "I thought when he came on it looked like he had never been away. "I was really impressed because we are not sure where he is. He has had a few reserve games and has been training, and you can never tell until he gets into the senior games." But a cautious Moyes added: "I don't want to put pressure on him and say that is Darren Fletcher back because you just never know." Moyes on Fletcher. |
Most of the things we have discussed already. Robbie Savage: How David Moyes can save Man Utd's season http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25291341 |
Moyes hails job well done David Moyes declared himself satisfied with United’s 3-0 win away to Aston Villa, but has called on his side to improve in the coming weeks. The Reds came away from Villa Park with three points courtesy of Danny Welbeck’s pair of first-half goals within three minutes and Tom Cleverley’s strike early in the second half, but the manager felt his side could have secured an even more emphatic result. “It was a good job done,” Moyes told MUTV and Sky Sports. “The players played well. The only thing I'd be critical of is that we didn't score more goals. For the first five or six minutes we didn’t quite come out on the front foot, but after that we took control and played well. “I think we'll play much better than that. I've told the players that that is the least we can do, we've got to keep going and keep winning more games.” The win saw United claim victory for the first time in four Barclays Premier League outings, but the manager pinpointed the way his side took their chances as the major difference with recent results. “I don't think there was an awful lot of difference except obviously we scored the goals,” said Moyes. “The fact we've not been scoring goals changes the way the games have looked, mainly for the media it changes how it looks. But we know we have to play better as well, and we have to play better than we did today again. It continually has to improve and it will improve, and I'll make sure it gets better in the coming month.” Source: MUFC website. |
@D_DeGea: Good 3 points!! But most important thing Fletcher back in team!! Well done Darren!! @rioferdy5: Great result today at villa park. Welcome back Mr Fletcher! Well deserved after working so hard after being out. @youngy18: Good win for us today and great away support. Brilliant to have Fletch back out there. @carras16: That was enjoyable to watch, good day at the office, well done boys. Wayne Rooney an hour ago Delighted with the three points today, we played some lovely football and I thought Cleverley, Valencia and Welbeck were top class. It was also great to see Darren Fletcher making his first team return. Welcome back lad, good to have you back! On a personal level, it was great to make my 500th Premier League appearance. |
As them say na page 666, everybody done run out. ![]() If na text book and na there the real story hide, una go run? ![]() |
superstar1: Watching Athletico Madrid vs Valencia.Please give us a review of his performance. I won't be able to watch that. |
coded guy: Elamps! You need to calm down, did he say anything about Rooney being the problem in our attack! You are the one reading meaning into what he said just because he mentioned Rooneys name you did not digest what he said you have run in to defend rooney by interpreting what he said as that our attack was potent because Rooney was busy helping Giggs in the midfield which you also agreed with.Read nitrogen post and understand my reaction. I quoted the wrong comment. |
[quote author=Mr_TA]I think you might want to log off the forums for a while and change your Rooney boxers and bedsheets while you're at it.[/quote]How does this answer/analyse anything? Say something meaningful jor. |
nitrogen: E go better for you o, Rooney should stop playing upfront, let him always drop deep, we will win games, he is useless upfront, two midfielders and Rooney alongside them. Rooney is a pile of shyte upfront. Na only consolation goals he dey always score when he plays upfront.

Katsumoto: Hope you guys enjoyed watching a good liverpool team.Totteham made primary error. They were too eager to get back with goals when it was 1-0 and then 2-0. Then suddenly, the red card. They kept on attempting to attack. The same reason Man United lost 1-6 to City. |
coded guy: Na wa oo this is why we say you are obsessed with Rooney! What did he say now that you are asking 'what is this one saying' he said Rooney fell back and helped Giggs and you also admitted that Rooney falling to the midfield steadied the team.So how does anything that transpired today meant Rooney is a problem to our attack? I want to know. Many guys here watch our matches upside down based on their chronic hate for Rooney. |
afrodoc: Meanwhile its going to be really challenging getting into this top 4 mehn!I think we should just keep doing our job and forget about the rest. One of Chelsea and Arsenal will drop points nextt week. If we just keep winning, we might find out that we are just 2 to 5 points to be there by January/February. |
