Manchester United: Flexibility secured title, says Robbie Savage

The tactics behind Man Utd's 20th title

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22280760

I think this is an interesting read.

Platini got his calculations wrong! Hahaha. No el classico final. Lol

Tonight, Madrid needed only to slow the game as they did in the first half. As soon as the play was opened with pace and speed I knew it was over for Madrid.

Football is in Germany this year.

Madrid ought not to be here in the first place because it was the referee that got them through Man United and Galatasaray.

What is this that they are saying Messi was not fit? Someone who played against PSG two weeks ago and was hailed. After two weeks of further rest for the big clash, people are saying he wasn't fit. He simply met a superior opposition. He met men. Teams like Madrid, Bayern, Chelsea have the antidote to Barca, and so it has come to stay. Just a matter of time before several more teams follow.

CFCfan: Robben is set to appear in 3 Champions League finals. And he will be the amongst the first players, since Eto'o (2009 and 2010) to appear in 2 consecutive Champions League finals.

This is not true at all. Man United played finals in 2008, 2009 and 2011. So the players here have the records. Carrick, Ferdinand, Vidic, Rooney, Giggs, Scholes, Evra, Van Der Sar, etc

ddippset: he doesnt only top la liga, he has the highest number of league goals in the world, he has the highest number of goals in all competitions, he has scored against all opponents consecutively.

Did Ronaldo not achieve these last season?

Oahray: In my opinion, Messi did well for an unfit player. Barca's lack of squad depth is obvious here.

Anyone who wants to say Ronaldo is better should remind us why Madrid is not topping the la liga tables. Maybe Ronaldo was waiting to shine in big matches and forgot not flop in small matches.

They used to say Messi cannot score Italian opposition in normal play. I wonder why they stopped saying that. Now it is german opposition. They forget messi was part of the Barca side that beat Bayern 4-0 some time back. They also forget that Messi pumped a record 5 goals Bayer Leverkusen in a single match!

If topping the Laliga is a criteria for world best, Ronaldo should have won it last season. Secondly Messi was fit. Was it not same Messi that played two weeks ago? He met superior opponents, chikena.

twenty k: The game I just saw a few minutes ago was bayern vs messiLEESlona...this just confam d fact that without messi or a 100% fit messi barca is just an equivalent of em,,aston villa...

Even if Messi was 110% fit today it wouldn't have made any difference. Barca met a superior fire arm. A team equally energetic, a team with more pace, a team clinical in front of goal. A team which is committed and determined. A team whose players are not easily beaten with dribblings, a team that knew you don't allow Messi to run left. A simply superior team than Barca.

women are really complex.

You women want a man:

Who is at least rich
Who is well dressed and social
Who is exposed, learned and educated
Who is good in bed
Who is brave
Romantic

At the same time he should be a man

Who doesn't look at other women
Who gives you absolute care and 100% attention
Who is religious
Who is not a 'too good to be true'
Who has not dated other women.

The list is endless.


Clap for yourselves.

montelik: I think RVP just nail down the PFA award after last night. He is already assured the golden boot thanks to cannibal Suarez.

Suarez is just stupid. He will ruin his career. His near excellent season being spoilt by his stupidity.

igbsam: [size=14pt]Ha-ha-ha.....see Haters and Hatred Everywhere. Anyway sha, I have something to tell you haters...All your hates combined together cannot stop the fact that Manchester United has won the trophy for the 20th time and it cannot take back the trophy from us. Just beat it guys, We the champions for this season. Rather, you and your teams need to work harder towards next season. All this hates will make you people age quick o! [/size]

Have the haters stopped crying now? I knew they didn't sleep well. 16 points, wow!

Give SAF a solid defensive midfielder, play smarter centre backs and we are in for another next season. But first I have to keep drinking wine on this. This title and the one of 2006/2007 made my heart to melody, because we used them make statements to Chelsea and City respectively that no one can dominate SAF in EPL in his life time, and that United is the pace setter, heart breaker, record setter and undisputable champions of the Premier League.

montelik: Official Manchester United Fan Page "Permanent Residence of the EPL trophy, renting for 1 season is allowed though"

Correct.

Manchester United continue to set the standard. Congrat Manchester United.

Can we say fast and agile defenders is equal to quick balls to the forwards?

Half time.

I am confused now. It seems I will need Giggs around again next season. Young cannot do what Giggs has done today. His final balls are precise. Something he has done all his life.

RVP, will score plenty of goals if United adopt attacking mentality. Vidic and Ferdinand are too defence cautions. RVP is a naural scorer.

Valencia is showing improvement.

I can't stop liking Rafael, and Rooney gave a marvelous telling pass.

RVP hatrick.

Giggs with two perfect assists.

RVP scores when he wants.

Evans seems to be struggling with injury now. Ferdinand warming up. Still two nil.

Can RVP get a hatrick today?

Ogbeche77: Giggs in the starting line up again
I give up on SAF

Let's take it easy with the criticism. Are you watching? Who else can do what Giggs has/is doing tonight?

RVP muah
Rooney great in the holding role.
Rafael almost scored and smoking
Valencia back to form...

Why can't we always play like this?

Should have been two for RVP now.

Goal. RVP

Manchester has always been red. The noisy neighbors, the caretakers are suddenly quiet.

They said the tide has shifted, I said where? Surely not in the EPL. We know who the everlasting champions are.

Manchester United will be crowned champions should they beat Aston Villa tonight at Old Trafford even with four more matches left to be played.

Manchester United are 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League over their closest rival, Man City. With five matches left for both teams, a win for Man United tomorrow will see them cruise to an unassailable 16 points lead.

Right now, Manchester City should be cleaning the trophy in readiness to returning it to the owners- Manchester United. City have suddenly seen their care taking time expired. The landlord is back.

Report- elampiro

I can't hear any noise from our neighbors. Anyway, they were only caretakers and the landlord is back.

Man U fans should still give credit to SAF na. He has his problem, but he did well to be 13 points clear from City and 20+ from other top teams. Despite our critism, it is still possible he ends the season with United record points. Yesterday I reviewed some matches, if you re-watch the Everton match at Old Trafford, you will see reason why he perhaps believes in Giggs and Jones. Jones didn't allow Everton to breath. Vidic and Giggs did well, and I was possibly the only match Everton has been so subdued. Giggs got a goal and provided RVP with another superB assist which RVP unsually missed.

With the resources SAF has at his disposal, he has done well. However, the team clearly needs to be strengthened in the weak areas that have been identified and stated here.

Piers Morgan's nightmare. Lol

Truly, it is really now corroborating those who shout 'false flag'.

I don't trust the government. They are telling lies, they don't want them to talk. They could have captured these two small boys alive. This is a world of injusice. The more you look, he less you see.

Today again, Suarez scored against Chelsea and gave a beautiful assist.

Truly truly, one can't help but notice Suarez. He doesn't just score, he does so much damage to opponents in the midfield, in the 30 yards area and in the 18 box. He dribbles past defenders with so much ease and flare and I think he is the only one who has this capability in EPL. The only other person, but currently out of form is Aguero.

But Suarez did some stupid things today. He conceded a penalty with a deliberate hand ball. Then he used his teeth on an opponent. Lol.

In as much as I am a United fan, I think Suarez has been the best this season. It is clear it's going to be either He or RVP or Bale. As I said earlier, based on individual work rate, I give it again to Suarez.

naijadeyhia: 30 seconds after 6mins liverpool score. why would the referee allow d game to go beyond 6mins which he added. complaints need to be forwarded to the english FA regarding this referee

Chelsea's equalizer against Manchester United in a Capital one cup tie ended in a similar way, Chelsea scored their equalizer after added time had expired. So, it's no a big deal. Take it, man.

elampiro: City also played badly yesterday, they didn't deserve a draw from the match, but they won. United has been poor, but four points in away matches with Stoke and West Ham is acceptable, particularly in the run in. United should have at least held City in Old Trafford.

I don't see how United can blow this now. Whether City stumbles in White Hart Lane or not on Sunday, a victory by United against Villa on Monday is what is required to finally shatter City's hope. But if they Stumble against Totteham, the League could be over on Monday night. When United play Villa, they should attack them from the blast of the whistle till we get two goals ahead. If we attack them, they won't be able to threaten us.

Five matches to go and six points to play for, I would have gladly taken it at the start of the season. Go Manchester United. Crush them!

Gareth Bale destroyed Man City. Totteham rallied to get three late goals. Three goals in ten minutes helped Totteham to come from behind to beat City 3-1. A telling pass from Gareth Bale was well tapped in by Dempsey, and Bale himself scored the third- a beautiful goal. Defoe got a beautiful goal for the second.

Now United can be champions tomorrow. SAF must be celebrating now.

Hahahaha

Nicepoker: They r all faking it

What does someone gain from pretending to be a 'mammy water' or Ogbanje or a witch?

Just curious.
