I'm very disappointed now with our 1 all draw. Grin

HalleLouja · 26/08/2014 22:31

Is it only me that loves the way Man U have been doing since Fergie kept? Hahahaha

Acciosanity · 26/08/2014 22:35

Not just you I think it's hilarious!

LalyRawr · 26/08/2014 22:40

Was gutted for Celtic earlier, always back the British in CL {well, except for Man City, but I do try} but felt much better after seeing the Man U score!

I know it wasn't the first team, but dear fucking Lord, you expect the Premier League side to not have their arses handed to them on a plate.

JustAboveTheDogPan · 26/08/2014 22:46

..can't be any more clear than that.

After Manchester United's loss to MK Dons, Louis van Gaal received a phone call from an iconic Scot whose name still rings around Old Trafford to this day.

"Don't worry about it at all. It's been reported that within a month of me first getting the United job, many moons ago now, the board threatened to sack me unless I started winning games. But that was all quickly forgotten, and just look at me now."

You can always trust David Moyes to say the right thing at the right time.

DanFmDorking · 27/08/2014 19:34

Sorry Man U fans but ...

If you'd have asked me yesterday to name the most devastating Keanes in football, I'd have probably said Roy and Robbie.
Today, it’s Milton.

What's the difference between Man United and a cocktail stick?
A cocktail stick's got two points.

Why did the Manchester United fan cross the road?
To ask about ticket prices at the Etihad.

Why did Angel Di Maria cross the road?
To take the bus back to the airport.

I've just bought a Manchester United away kit ...
A box of tissues, 24 Prozac and the number for The Samaritans.

I saw Louis van Gaal tending to an injured baby deer at the side of the road.
I said, "Fawn ill?"
He said, "Fuck off!"

Acciosanity · 28/08/2014 20:14

Come on City!

Acciosanity · 28/08/2014 20:52

Arise.

Acciosanity · 28/08/2014 20:52

Fucking auto correct.

Arse

DanFmDorking · 30/08/2014 17:37

"We didn't play very well or create enough chances and we feel it's definitely two points dropped against one of the lesser teams."

Said the Burnley manager.

BelfastBloke · 31/08/2014 13:22

Sooper Soaraway Sunday Football!

Spuds vs Scousers and Leicester vs the Arse.

A woeful performance from Hull today. We need to get a striker and fast.

JustAboveTheDogPan · 31/08/2014 19:00

Welbeck? Slick, neat, difficult to play against but not a goal scorer. And Real seem to have bagged Chicarito as a bench warmer...

KenDoddsDadsDog · 31/08/2014 19:22

So sad that Borini wouldn't come to Sunderland.

Acciosanity · 31/08/2014 20:50

Gutted we sold Long, though I hear the reason was his wife wasn't happy up here.
Don't think we'll get Welbeck. As you say, he's not a goal scorer.

BelfastBloke · 31/08/2014 21:04

Will we get Welbeck though? Sanogo then Podolski up front today, and couldn't break through. But Wenger is unlikely to buy a striker, even though Giroud is out for months.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 01/09/2014 18:56

QPR borini ? Sad

BelfastBloke · 08/09/2014 20:29

I just can't see England winning this against this well set up Swiss team.

The formation looks OK, but with two debutants, and with Wilshire playing in an unfamiliar role, and with England playing an unfamiliar shape, it's just illogical to think they will thrive.

There's nothing wrong with all the above, once they've bedded in, in a few games, but not in this game (said to be the most difficult of all the qualifiers).

Good Cahill cover against a certain goal

OP posts:

10 England goals in 28 appearances. Welbeck's a Gooner.

PansOtherPeople · 13/09/2014 09:57

And so the season starts, proper. Looking fwd to Utd's new 1-9 formation. Not sure even we're going to actually need a goalie. Blind can play fly.
