That's not the question I asked you.

You claim that Van Gaal is playing good football and my question was dos you watch the crystal palace game...yes or no?
Yes I did and we played well!

We couldn't finish cause of we have a quadraplegic as our main striker...he couldn't score to save his life!

And for your info crystal palace defended very well if not...

You said the British Managers were overhyped by the press...can you back up that assertion with examples?

Players are NOT managers
British nationals in general not necessarily coaches!

Moyes is a very good example if you need one.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 10:20pm On Nov 11, 2014
Coogar, below the Moyes' awards. Which other managers apart from the big four should have won it?

2003, 2005 and 2009 League Managers Association Manager of the Year.
2003 - SAF

2005 - mourinho

2009 - SAF

Lol! the game was pretty much balanced before smalling went off, that didn't stop us from playing our game in the last 15minutes, we kept them on their toes

The everton game, those chances came at what stage of the game?
So what stage of the game did you rally at against City and Chelsea.

You had only 2 shots on target in 90 minutes yet my man is claiming 'balanced game' grin

Only a point gained from a possible 6.

Can't you be objective for once in your life?

it's their way - this is why they never win any competition for their country. players who aren't better than emenike are being touted as world class in their media.

if rooney & RVP perform equally in a game, the commentator would quickly give the MOTM to rooney without hassles. a foreign player has to play outta his skin to win MOTM awards.

all the time a british player has won PFA player of the year award, there's a better foreign player that was ignored through the media brainwashing.

that's even small.
let's assume there's a difficult away match in europe where 2 foreign players got a brace each and rooney came on in the last 20 mins to score a penalty to make it 5-0, the media would report it as "rooney helps united to secure victory in portugal."

it would be rooney's picture on the front page & rooney's name on the headlines.
Its very annoying and to make matters worse rio ferdinand talked about players buying newspapers to know what the press thinks of their performances..

And believe me all this high praise from the press might be part of the problem these overhyped players don't perform up to expectations

You can't be told you are the best all the time without it getting into your head!.

how many points did moyes gain in the corresponding fixture last season?

moyes failed to score against chelsea, city, liverpool, everton, newcastle, etc at old trafford last season. he was that useless as a manager.

why is it impossible that rooney pays cash into the accounts of journalists to give him high ratings in a game where he's been average.

was rooney better than drogba in 09/10? was bale better than nani in 10/11? was giggs better than ronaldo in 08/09 season? those are some of the examples and more......

that was how someone here was comparing rooney to muller before the last world cup. he defended rooney to the hilt until rooney's failure was magnified in brazil & muller shone like a billion times. they get brainwashed easily by what they read in the papers even when statistics tell it differently.

Please give us examples of where they have been overhyped.

I think you just talk for the sake of it.

Allardyce and Hodgson are constantly lampooned on the media.

Big Sam's allardici comment made him the joke of the month in the media at the time, and Roy Hodgson is routinely called Woy Hodgson by the media mocking his speech impediment.

Can you show us where the managers you mentioned have been overhyped? Just one article please?

Lol rooney won't make the bayern team I swear!

Rooney who failed to score in two world cup tourneys?

A player who has never won the golden boot in the epl?

Rooney is overhyped and that iidiot david moyes actually gave him a contract that pays him more than cr7! Talk about azz_licking at the highest level!

2003....
the manner by which SAF wrestled the title away from SAF was exemplary. at a point in the season, arsenal were 8 or 12 points above united & SAF worked his magic wand. we left arsenal for dead and won the title aplomb. it's the best case of a smash & grab in the history of the premier league.

ruud scored 44 goals that season in all competitions through the grand master plan SAF devised and it was clear arsenal had the better team that year.

2005 - that was jose's first year in england. he broke the highest points ever notched by a club in a 3-point system in the 20-league band. he copped 95 points, played some of the most swashbuckling attacking moves & had a near impregnable defence.

even SAF respected him & said money isn't everything cos you still have to find the balance to make a team gel. jose was by far the best manager that year - coming to england & claiming the title in england with 95 points. the only game he lost was questionable. how's moyes even considered this year?

2009 - the golden era of SAF. ridiculous number of clean sheets. rio & vidic became legends in europe - went through a 25-match unbeaten run in europe, made the CL final like they did the previous year, completed their third successive league victory with aplomb.

what did moyes achieve this year that can match the above? grin

So Rooney not making the Bayern Team = Overhype?

How many players in the world would make that Bayern team?

Bayern is arguably the best in the world with Global top 5 players in each position for the 1st team.

Do you reason with your brain at all?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:38pm On Nov 11, 2014
Peoeple are funny o. CR7 was worse than Rooney in the world cup. I guess Ahmed Musa is better than CR7. grin

Any way, I wasn't part of the Rooney vs Muller argument because I hardly watch Bundesliga. Two days ago, I saw Dortmund won one nil and the match was the worst league football I have seen in recent times.

how many goals has rooney scored in a world cup game? my memory tells me he was in 2006, 2010 & 2014 world cup tourneys.

even with his enormous failure - he's still the white pele. they bring up irrelevant stats - the highest goal scorer for club & country.

rooney had his england debut at 17. he's now 29. he's played consecutively for 12 years and he has only 43 international goals to show for it. grin cheesy

* Your proof that Ronaldo earns less than Rooney.

* Moyes only added earnings from image right to Rooney.

* You don't have the whole picture. Man City were ready to pay Rooney 300k in 2010, but he took pay cut to stay. Summer 2013, Chelsea owner personally wanted Rooney when Mourinho mentioned him. PSG, Madrid and Monaco were options. Even Gerald Pique was asking him to join Barca. You cant know more than the authorities in the business.

money did nothing for SAF, he built his empire himself. there was never a time he was handed a sack of cash to buy players. the plenty of titles brought more fans. large fans attracted sponsors, sponsors paid to have their brands advertised.

mourinho can only beat what is put before him. plenty of managers have spent money with nothing to show for it. before mourinho, chelsea hadn't won a league title in 50 years & you are talking about money. abeg, make i hear word.

who are the voters?
an association where 90% of the voters are british? do you even know all the managers of the professional leagues take part in this voting process. who else would they vote for? pellegrini?

arsene wenger that has chiefly operated on a shoe-strïng budget has only won it twice despite the fact that he's one of the greatest managers in this league & yet a perennial failure like moyes got the nod three times? this LMA award is a joke.

Well in a way you are right rooneys love for united is wholly tied to his wallet demands.
