dademola: d issue of replacing sir alex, is a very precarious and tricky one. If d club is looking at d aspect of continuity, i doubt if a high profile name wld be on d cards. At d same time, i believe d club wld be looking for some wif impressive credentials, and also a strong personality. If all these factors r to b taken into consideration.. like fergie once hinted, david moyes cld just b d right man for d job

montelik: De Gea, Smalling, Jones, Vidic, Buttner, Valencia, Cleverley, Anderson, Young, Welbeck and Chicharito.

Finally the return of the Ando & Tom C partnership.

nitlad: You are an arboreal troll!
Copying and pasting like the myopic epileptic hunched-back that you are!

Chelsea had 44% possession of the ball against Bayern Munich, yet you mawkish runts labelled it an 'ultra-defensive' display!

Èyin olòshì gbogbo wònyí

nitlad: Game finely poised.
A second goal or a 2 - 2 draw would have given Manure further assurance of going through though.
To'ba ya n'sin, you stitched-twäts would start yelling Chelsea na bus parker I wonder what tactics copped you the draw tonight? At times, it was as if Manure was afraid to take the game to them. The last couple of minutes when you miserable onanists became daring, the chances came!


All na tactics

coogar: i trust fergie - he would put out his strongest possible team tomorrow.....the madrid game is away, we just need to get a draw there and play with caution. 4-6-0, keep rooney/van persie fresh for the second leg....

dademola: cleverly A facilitator?? In footie, are u really sure u knw wot dt term means?? Basically, a facilitator is smeone dt makes a team tick.and most of d time, a team can only hav one. R u saying cleverley is our facilitator?? I asked u for cleverley's personal attributes as a plyr, u say he is our facilitator. Wot is he facilitating?? Lets assume he's even a facilitator, wot special attributes does he hav dt mks him d facilitator??U really wanna talk about stats?? Der was a season dey sed mikel averaged d most passes in d EPL. Technically, did dt make him d best midfielda in d league?? Last season, didnt dey say de gea made d most saves in d EPL?? Does dt mean he was d best gk in d league last season?? D worst part b say, did u even see d plyrs in list where arteta reigns supreme, dt u made reference to?? D likes of sun-yueng ki, dembele, britton, joe allen and co!!!!!! Guy, u fvckup by introducing stats in dis issue mehn!! D bottom line is dt, we shudnt b carried away wit d fact dt d team is doing well. If a player is not doing too well, AND ONE CAN PIN POINT HIS FLAWS, D BETTER!! At d same time, if anyone notices dt, A PLAYER SIMPLY ISNT GUD ENOF TO PLAY FOR D CLUB, it is wot it is!!

montelik: Yawa don gas. Carrick is out with a hip injury, suspected he might be out at least a fortnight.

coogar: you people can believe the media rubbish sha - where exactly did this nani exit come out from? nani's contract is not expiring till june 2014(18 months away) and yet the media are all over it like a rash that he's on his way out if he doesn't sign before january.

valencia joined man utd in july 2009 on a 4 yr deal - his contract was supposed to end in july this year. if we didn't offer him a contract, he would be free to enter a pre-contract by the ending of this month. it means he had 6 months left on his contract before his deal came. why then do we expect nani who has 18 months left to be offered a contract right away when his opposite number ran his own contract down till the last 6 months?

recently, the british media have been peddling the de gea exit rumours too - just because victor valdez is stalling his contract in barca. some have even suggested united would do a straight swap with barcelona. every single mistake of de gea has been highlighted to make his exit rumours believable and i am sure some of our fans would lap it up. joe hart, pepe reina and cech have all made eye-popping errors this season but they get ignored.....the myth that de gea is not good enough must be aired so that gullible football fans can lap it line hook and sinker.

coogar: on current form, it's valencia that needs to watch his back.....i am sure it was because of his poor form he got relegated to the bench against spurs. fergie fancies nani - he has said nani ain't going anywhere so valencia should start praying. nani is an ambidextrous, valencia is not!

montelik: Ravel Morrison hasn't "rubbed pepper" into anyone's eyes. I know you love the boy, but he was and still remains a problem child.

Roland17: @Coogar

Was letting Pogba go a good decision? that dude is talented and is proving his worth with Juve, he's walked his way into the first eleven of the Turin giants and is equally scoring goals.. i bet u SAF would be having some sort of regret and nightmares about that decision.

chrisley024: Enough of dis slatin @ DDG. Can sum1 name a young player of his age also as gud as he is n in a top club like ManU?! Hw abt Evra dat was useless in dat game n Carrick was d 1 doin his job?

coogar: the best way to defend is to attack.....
if we had given tottenham something to worry about, they wouldn't even bother with attacking us at all. fergie messed up - he gave tottenham too much respect. their biggest threat(bale) was in rafael's pocket all night. lennon was the only other danger and evra had no cover to effectively curb lennon.

with a bit of more common sense from fergie, we would have scored 2-3 goals before tottenham decided to wake up and go for it. it's baffling we had rooney, hernandez, chicharito, anderson and nani on the bench when the game kicked off. that to me is idiotic. why not stick with what had worked for us in the previous away games - why go 4-3-3 against spurs of all teams?

coogar: fergie's selection and daft substitution cost us the game. the match stats is there for us to see. tottenham had twice as many goal attempts and we had a bench of rooney, hernandez, anderson, etc on the bench. we did nothing in the 2nd half - we just defended like a bottom side when we should be dominating spurs and let them worry about conceding! this is the first time in about 13 years we have failed to win at least one league game against tottenham. fergie takes the blame for me!

ABU GEORGE: ferguson kill d match today, wat is welback and valencia doing on d pitch, u went ahead to remove cleverly, kagawa wen welback is a waste on d field, why did u keep chicharito on d bench, tottenham even deserve d winning today wit d way ferguson played. hope dey. man u 4 ever

Oahray: Lol... Trust Nigerians. I am pretty sure majority didnt watch the video. I dunno where you guys got the idea of a handshake, or are you guys just commenting on what you read? Try to notice little details when you watch something.
There is a head obstructing our view so we do not really see any handshake gesture from Ronaldo. You guys only assume he did offer one.

When a person offers us a handshake, by reflex, our eyes focus on the offered hand, before moving to the owner's face. Nothing like that happened in that video. Guardiola turned to look at the person behind, long enough for the person to have said something, then turned away without looking down and without a word.

In my opinion, after watching the video severally, here is what happened:
Ronaldo is walking past (probably going back to his seat). He actually bumps into a seated Guardiola with his elbow. Guardiola turns to see who it is, Ronaldo stops and probably says something I think is an apology. Guardiola turns away and Ronaldo pauses for a moment then walks away.

Watch the video carefully and don't just swallow everything the media feeds you!

BINTI_LAYE101: uhmm it's not only goals dat lead to dat, assists are included

Roland17: Come on Man, grow up, i have nothing against United winning the game, it was hard fought and they deserve the victory for the resilience and poise, but if u are a true football fan, u should be sad for football watching SAF and later his assistants rant and stalk the lines man over calls its uncalled for, its out of the game.

StarBoard: For real?
Rafael? Who couldn't deal with the Robson Kanu guy of reading and had to be subbed 22 minutes into the game after copping a yellow card?
Please. . .
I didn't say Real had a better defence.If anything, their midfield is set to over-run ours unless we go tactical and neutralize their speed.
All I said is I'm about to watch as your theory about having a sharp attack and keeping the other team busy is put to test.
You forget they also have goal threats everywhere. And with our Mickey Mouse defending, I'm not sure we can survive the first leg at the Bernabeau.
Nothing would ple

nosa gold: I hate ferguson, I won't support man utd again til dat useless old man dies....
