Cristalz:
@Nateevs
Better naive than ignorant amid a mass of stale/hopeful knowledge.

I didn't say you can't climb Everest with these same players.  .  .I said not with this defense and this Cech.
By that, I mean with them being in the current shambolic form.

Breathe and understand before flying off at a tangent.

So what . . Defenders and Goalie are not players?
You must have a lot you want to tell us. . .


Secondly, I ask why not. .
This time last year we had dropped about 12pts at home from guess what . . set-pieces. .
With who ? . . Ivanovic, Bosingwa, Terry, Carvalho, Alex, Cole and guess who PETR CECH. .

A change in tactics and this same lot was keeping clean sheets all the way to the end of the season.
Including a supoosedly high scoring Barca side. . .

Not a player more not one less. .


So what informs your "knowledge" that Chelsea can't sustain a run with the same players. .
You'll do better side-watching honestly. . .

Cristalz:
Glad to be your Jesus.

Sustain that run.  .  .not with this defense and this Cech, you won't.

Your naivety is abysmal. . .
This time last year y'all thought Chelsea was doomed. . .

A change of tactics, manager, with the same players Chelsea were flying till the end and now you think we can't make a difference with the same players?

Come off it ma!

I told you, you are only hoping!

Cristalz:
With 22 or so more games to go, you are declaring ''we don't lose at home''. Okay.
Let's hope you don't eat your words.

As for your defending, you lost to Blackburn. Lost to City. Conceded 3 goals against wobbly Everton that could easily have been avoided.
You think that's a ''blip''? I don't. I think it's a problem.

As for the scoring part, yeah you're right. But if you concede every minute after you score, where does that leave you?
Draws and losses, that's where.

Look, we have played better quality teams than these - ManU, Liverpool and Arsenal.  
And we didn't concede that many goals. Actually we didn't concede any.
You know you are deceiving yourself if you think it will continue.

It's more about hope that fact.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=364848.msg5100137#msg5100137 date=1260647101]What has losing at HOME got to do with winning the title.
United have lost at home in the last 3 seasons and still won the big prize.

A loss at home/away is 3 points. A loss at home is not 10 points.[/quote]You dropped 3 pts. . . That's all that matters to me honestly. .
This prevents us from falling apart totally. . .
This gives us hope that things are still on track.

We have Portsmouth, West Ham, Birmingham, Fulham, Hull, Sunderland, Birmingham, Burnley in that order . .

We will have a run with these games. .
By then January will be here and we are buying heavily.

This time around we just might sustain that run. .

Cristalz:
Shambolic defending today.

Against City, total cluelessness plus a massive overwhelming.

We didn't lose at home . . We don't.
Shambolic defending? . . . It's ablip and you know it . . when we sort it out; which we will, we will be flying. .

The difference between us and you is that we are scoring.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=364848.msg5100081#msg5100081 date=1260646621]They are not!!!!!
We just got overwhelmed!!![/quote]Really?
What do you think happened to us?

BlueDiva:
The league has been thrown wide open.
If the KG boyz win tomorrow, they'd be 6pts  behind with a game in hand.

It's not even Christmas yet.
Imagine what will happen at that crazy period.

Diva , . If only we won.

BlueDiva:
IMO, players need to be told to up their game.
It's no crime to drop your 'star' players, that's sends a message to them.

How can we concede 3 goals from set pieces at the same range?
It's the duty of the manager to ensure such blunders don't occur twice not to talk of trice.

BTW, it's not my place to be suggesting whom to play or bring in.
I'm a critic not a coach. That's what CA is paid millions to do.

If he gets it right, we praise him, if he doesn't, we criticize him.

But from the point of view of a fan you must have an idea of who to bring in. .
If you stall on what ideas to bring in, probably the Manager is having similar difficulties . .

And this is what I like fans to take note . .

Ibime:
Very interesting!!!!!!

I am rapping the JayZ part. . .  

Cristalz:
So the table stays the same up there.
Liverpool should thrash Arsenal tomorrow. 2 - 1 or 3 - 1.

No it doesn't . .
We got a point. . So it's 3 pts ahead now.

Over. . Utd drop 3 at home. . .

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=364848.msg5099988#msg5099988 date=1260645833]This is day light robbery. . . .

There should be more than 5 mins in this game.[/quote]I think there should be 8mins. .  

Come on Villa. .

HNIC:
Just 3 minutes!!!!
Am shocked!!!!!!!!!!!

So am I?

Now Villa will be condemned to the championship if they concede now. .

BlueDiva:
Villa can't withstand the pressure.
They'll cave in sooner or later.

I pray not. . honestly
Even though I know I shouldn't . .

Cristalz:
Okay, that was ball to hand. Why is it a free kick?

It shouldn't be . .

Cristalz:
Still trying to figure out why Fergie left our strikers benched in the first place. Did he think Young, Gabby, Milner were coming to kid around?

He's been at this for 23 years he must know why . .

Dclique:
United aint going down without a fight.

I honestly envy the way they play when they need a goal. .

[quote author=~Borat~ link=topic=364848.msg5099850#msg5099850 date=1260644860]I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but i wish i could. . .[/quote]You can't imagine how much I am hoping. .
It's beginning to feel like Chelsea being at the verge of dropping points. .

This is the first positive move I have ever seen O 'Neil make at OT. .

Cristalz:
Guy? I've always thought Dclique is a girl!

Thank goodness you've only thought. .

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=364848.msg5099785#msg5099785 date=1260644358]So why were you saying Fergie shouldn't have bought Valencia?[/quote]I never did . .
I only questioned why you thought I couldn't point out a Fergie mistake because he's been at it for 23yrs. . When you go on and on about Valencia's restrictiveness. .

I therefore must ask if he is that bad why did Fergei buy him?

You just have this feeling with the way Villa are playing, Utd will come back. .
Except Villa get a second

Dclique:
2nd sub. The russian comes in

Which Russian?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=364848.msg5099744#msg5099744 date=1260643955]He knows. . . .  .Valencia has his strengths. . . . .His only weakness is his left foot.
Do you want me to list Zhirkov's many weaknesses? Who bought him? Malcolm Glazer?


PRESSURE mounts!!!!!

I love this TEAM. . . . . .[/quote]why would you want to?
I haven't claimed players don't have weaknesses. . I also haven't ranted about it like you . .

Cristalz:
Good observation. Now that was a foul. Why didn't Atkinson blow his whistle?
Just goes to show the man has got a low tolerance level for Rooney. It didn't start today.

Rooney has never been known to be a diver . .
I struggle to understand what you mean by "tolerance levels". .

If he showed Rooney a card for descent, then you have a point. . For diving, you don't.

And I am quite surprised anyone hasn't taken you on this contact thing. . there was no contact dear.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=364848.msg5099720#msg5099720 date=1260643711]Valencia is restricted but it is down to his team mates to play to his strength.
They all know his left foot is useless so the passes should be going straight to his right foot.[/quote]So what . . Your 23-year professor neva knew that ?
Aw come you the amateur is the one letting us know?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=364848.msg5099689#msg5099689 date=1260643374]What has Giggs created in this game?
Nateevs(an amateur) wants to teach Fergie about the team he's managed for 23 years?
Your insight will be needed more at the Bridge where the EPL has eluded you for 3 consecutive seasons.[/quote]When you are a goal down. . you eyes just shut . .
I give you a few minutes before you start calling Owen names. .

I agree Fergie has been at this for 23yrs . . but we all just saw you calling Valencia names . . restricted. .
Who bought him . . Carllotti?

Honestly Rooney is class. . .

Cristalz:
Nope.  .  .Rooney was cautioned for attempting to deceive the ref by exaggerating the weight of the contact/his fall.
And I think the card wasn't necessary.
Atkinson could've done without it.

You probably are the only one arguing for this. .
Isn't it clear you are losing it?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=364848.msg5099641#msg5099641 date=1260642918]Then i take it you have not been watching Man Utd until today?
How many times have we copped 3 points at the death?
I wouldn't worry over Villa in 89 mins if they are leading 2-0.

OWEN for GIGGS!!!!
That's more like it. . . . .Rooney has been too isolated.
Come on Michael. . . . . .Score another hatrick and confirm your ticket to South Africa.[/quote]I actually thin Fergie just removed your most creative player.
Owen never creates anything . . Fergie is just wants the presence of a poacher in there. .
