We won 9 of our last 11 matches in 2009/2010.

Why didnt our "talisman" help us in those matches where we dropped points earlier that season?
So because you have a talisman in your team, you must be 10 points clear with 10 games to go or whathuh

I know we dropped crucial points in Rooney's absence, maybe against Blackburn or so, I can't remember clearly.
Berbatov failed us in that match, not Rooney!
Cut him some slack.

I was going to try give a reasonable reply, not knowing you opened this thread with the mindset of an e-terrorist who isn't even manly enough to follow through with the main purpose you hid the guise of this thread in; for the sake of knowledge and clarity!

I'd rather pledge allegiance to this 'stupid' religion than that which indoctrinates evil habits like Terrorism into the minds of young people in exchange for their common sense.

I only blame the mods for allowing posts from non Christians on this section.
Well Christians are tolerant after all.

United should go all out for Mane and Isco this January. We need players to supply for Martial.
Your optimism is something else, for you to believe Isco will dump Madrid for struggling united in January cheesy

Besides, Isco can be annoying, and doesn't release the ball ever. Unnecessary dribbles sad
He's too soft for a sudden move to the EPL.

watching memphis' youtube video just makes me wish he would pick form. The guy is good, just hurt to see it getting to his head and not going the humble route. He needs a Ronaldo talk since he obviously looks up to him...If memphis was playing well Martial would play where he deserves to be
How about we give this Memphis guy time?
Football these days though.

We already label a 21 year old a flop after six months?

Just look at Ozil.
After a couple of average years, he has finally found his footing completely.

Yes! Yes! Rooney has had good years. I was one of his biggest fans too. But all dat one na IN THE PAST.

Now, all what United fans want for the club is progress. And Rooney isn't the kind of progess we are looking for. He has to be booted out ASAP!!
Yes I know!
His best days are over I guess.

I only get pissed by fans who imply Rooney was never good enough to lead united to titles.
It's an insult!

Why didn't we win it when your deity finished as our top scorer in 2010??
To be fair to Rooney, Man united would have certainly won the league if Rooney stayed injury free.
I mean this guy was on 33 goals by march , but ended may with 34 due to the injury.
Rooney of 2010 was in Messi and CR7 class, and was becoming a strong favorite for the Ballon d'or before that unfortunate injury.
Rooney even had more goals than Messi and was top of the EPL chart before that injury. (correct me if I'm wrong)

Can you imagine any sane man creating a thread comparing Rooney to Messi right now? grin

I remember many coaches eg Ancelotti, comparing Rooney to Ronaldinho, Messi etc.

Let's not malign Rooney and forget who he was some years ago. smiley

He was the best No 9 in the world at some point, and I feel bad some people think he has always been shyte and incapable.

RVP is a poacher. I can produce his goals/shots from inside the 6 yard vs 18 yards vs outside of the box.

Any poacher relies on a solid team (solid 9 men behind) to shine.

The long pass from Rooney RVP scored against Villa was one of those few he scored outside of the box. We see average players score such or even better every season in EPL.
Even Messi has fewer goals from outside the box too, so I don't get your point.
The greater percentage of any player's goals always come from inside the 18yard box.

I can easily recall many of his stunning goals for Arsenal, and I'm not an arsenal fan.

There are some matches Ronaldo won for us between 2007/2008, for instance when he took the ball from when past markers one by one and entered the box to slot in from a solo effort all the way from nearly half line. Messi did same for Barca again and again. Maradona for Argentina and Napoli. Pele for Brazil and his local club etc.

Players like Inzaghi, RVP, Chicharito just wait to be fed, and when they score 25 goals, some say they won the league? In a team that was already capable of wining the league. How can anyone say that?

Suarez and Sturridge still good small, they can make things happen outside the box and score from such moves.
Take an inzaghi from a team, and see how you miss those 'easy' goals he scores.

I'd like to mention that RVP isn't a poacher.
Do you watch football at all? grin

RVP at his peak was known for scoring stunners even Messi/CR7 would be proud of. Lol

Have you forgotten his trademark volleys so soon?

1. Suarez may have improved Barca, but to say he won the treble.......... Www. ExaggerationdotCom

2. Liverpool will always miss Suarez. They also miss Sturridge whenever he's injured. Coupled with Gerald's old age, it will always be struggle. Now too they miss Sterling.

Someone like you might be tempted to say Diego Costa won the EPL and Capital1 cup for Chelsea. If Costa had departed last summer, you would easily have attributed Chelsea current struggle to that.
Right now Chelsea miss Costa; an in form Costa, so it's just like saying last season's Costa isn't available too!
However, even if he left, he wouldn't have been the sole reason for Chelsea's poor season since their general play from attack to defense is horrible.

Liverpool did the same with Rodgers it hasn't worked that well.


I don't how to feel about yesterday's game was that a postive or a negative ?
Chelsea didn't play any striker against us and we still couldn't win but we looked good for awhile.
The game was good, but we didn't also have a true striker.

I still wonder why LVG sold Chicha if he wasn't getting a replacement.

He's still a bad coach cos injury is part of the game or was he thinking they were all gonna stay fit when he sold all his squad players. A United team has not even an average striker on the bench to be called upon when we need goal, not minding his subs that look like they're from the opponent's coach. I still can't believe 250mil was spent on this team. And btw, that was the worst chelshit team in recent years.
Considering the fact that Di Maria was sold again, net spent is less than 250m. grin

So Suarez won one trophy in his many years at Liverpool, yet you credited him as the one who won treble for Barca?

I am not disputing that Suarez is a great striker. My arguement is that he didn't win the treble for Barca as you claimed.

Do you know when Suarez scored 31 goals, Sturridge scored 21 goals despite having limited appearances due to injuries? Sturridge was almost as good as Suarez. Sturridge was the one who tore our defence apart at Old Trafford. I think Gerald, playing as a center midfielder won the highest Assists that season and he also scored 13 goals. If Sturridge stayed fit, Liverpool would have won the league even if Gerald slipped 7 times in the season.
I'm not saying he single handedly won it!

Barca were getting found out in the biggest games in the champions league every time, with Messi being marked out playing his false 9 role that was mostly only effective against little teams.

Suarez brought this dynamism I can't really explain to Barcelona.
His movement, link up play was something else.
I don't need to tell a football fan what Suarez did last season/this season abeg.

He spent about 3 years at Liverpool, and they won the FA cup.
Tell me, why did Liverpool experience a drastic downturn of fortune when he left?

DDG bested Courtois? If na joke abeg stop am
Martial kept cutting in but he was only successful once......,he raped Iva and Mikel,Zouma was the only reason why he didn't score....
Martial is an absolute beast.
He's another Henry loading tongue
Maybe
We have to be careful, so one of these useless poachers don't come to tempt him away from Old Trafford


I always said it that the only reason we were losing was the players we use for this system.
Substitute Mata for Robben/bale, Rooney for Lewandowski who can even finish off a half chance, Young for Carvajal, and we would be trouncing every single team in the EPL.


If we had this line up that played this Chelsea match since November, I'm sure we would be almost or even top of the league.
Carrick and Felliani in the same midfield is an anomaly which will never work, even in the championship.

Schwein, Schneiderlin, Herrera is actually nice enough to dominate most matches in the EPL.


The players also need to take some blame, just look at Rooney wasting our best chance of the match, or Felliani passing the ball to the keeper from point blank range at least twice in the past few games.

In summary, Van Gaal isn't a poor coach, but his selection sometimes it's sickening.
I think his weakness is that, he isn't good at replacing his first choice players when they become injured/unavailable.

How many trophies did Suarez win for Liverpool? Carling cup
FA Cup
Europa
Premier League
Champion League

huh
He got Liverpool the FA cup and made them almost winners of the league, scoring a stunning 31 league goals in an average team and only losing it because of a useless slip from Gerard!
He gave Barca a final cutting edge and grit they have always lacked playing Messi as a false 9 for a few years.
I was sure MSN would end up the best attack in the world before they even kicked a ball.
No wonder Enrique said "Suarez is a magnet for positivity"

Suarez is the prince of strikers!

Only in Nigeria will there be more names getting Admission through connection than people who worked hard for it.
I'm just looking at FUTA and their wickedness this year.

I can't count the number of people that got computer science with lower scores, while people with higher scores have gotten nothing till date despite paying 10,000 Naira for Change of course form. sad

Imagine people getting admitted for competitive courses they didn't even fill in Change of course with 50+ scores, while those that really originally for the courses with scores above 60+ and even 70 aggregate getting nothing! shocked

I didn't believe in nepotism, but thanks to FUTA, they've made me see that you need connection at times in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, below attachment is Rooney's goalscoring form when we caught up with Man City, overtook them and extended the lead. Compare it with RVPs scoring form in the run in. on a nervous afternoon against West Harm Rooney delivers a combination of great run and individual brilliance to score a late late winner that sent us further away from City.

How can you say RvP kept us on top when he didn't score that period?
Will you say Suarez wasn't heavily responsible for Barcelona winning the treble last season, despite scoring only 28 goals or so?

Van persie is a very special talent, and saying he didn't improve Man united is a big lie.

The Marshmallow you are hyping has lots of bugs and lag but the difference it has from window is because they didn't review it in builds.. They only release a finish version...

Only a monkey will complain abt builds cos its not a finish product..all the people complaining abt Windows 10mobile deserve to be shot coS Microsoft never called it an official version or release to the public.. It only gave you permission to use the Builds version just as to follow up on the steps of building the OS.. .i find northing wrong with the OS sor far cos its still a build...

No one complained abt Wp 8.1 cos it was release as a finish product no builds
Here comes a loyal Windows fan!

I'm not complaining about the builds only.
What I'm saying is that releasing a flagship phone on beta OS is not normal!

The development is terribly slow too.
Come on, a full year without a release!

Many people complained about the non availability of 3G lock in WP8.1 then, but the LOYAL fanbase said it wasn't a important feature, yet many criticized WP around me for this glaring shortcoming.

Only sheeps won't complain if after almost a year of development, it isn't stable on many devices yet!

In other words, Rooneys greatest ever season just about equals RVPs first season at Utd.

Omo any strikers who scores winning goals in 9 matches a season is as good as gold.
Rooney has posted a career high 34 goals a season twice, while RVP's best is just 30.

Edit....
RVP scored 37 in his last season at Arsenal actually.
