No it psyched me up for R1 in EPL, he was only captain vs wigan anyway.
GO GO GO GO GO NAPOLI
lol at city
I thought it would be at least around November-December before the City mercenaries started acting up. They are well early this year. Very nice!
YEAH! Gargano played a magnificent match this evening.
Yeah, the ref got in the way 2-3 times but we won't know how much that mattered. Yeah, the penalty was soft, but it was still a penalty. The penalty they got was as much of a penalty as the one United didn't get, but that's just a 50/50 thing that didn't go United's way.
In a way it was our own fault for an uncharacteristic lapse in concentration for about 15-20 minutes in the second half. The Da Silva twins now worry me, they seem really fragile. They hardly ever last 90 minutes it seems, Valencia works hard at right back but we'd obviously rather not see him there.
I was impressed with Basel's forwards though, they caused a lot of problems for the United defence. The game was very open and for some reason we didn't control the midfield like I thought we would have. Perhaps Fletcher should have played but who knows?
Basel deserved a draw for the way they played, but United really shouldn't have slipped up there, no matter which players were missing. Have to play the strongest side now and win 3/4 remaining games IMO. Probably going to have to win all the remaining games to finish first depending on other results.

I lost all my respect for tevez yesterday..
Oxlade-Chamberlaine!!!!! WHAT A GOAL!!!
AOC AOC AOC AOC
some may say this wasnt convicing at all, but Ill take it considering the injuries we have. Bet the press will be all over this though about how we couldnt put a mediocre greek side away. If it was Man U it would be all about how they grinded out a result despite many injuries and bla bla bla. Whatever. A win is a win.
Bring em Spuds. Must be the first time i head in to a derby match expecting to lose. Shows how far we've fallen.

Now is the time to buy Adebayor. He's destined to score. But Van Persie will too so I'm going for a draw. 3-3. There's always goals in this match.
Napoli on one hand id insult it just to see Haunter rage, but on the other hand they have been playing good lately recovering from that awful losing streak it had..
Are you seriously saying that RM will outclass Utd.? HA! Rooney will probably retire soon so? there are a lot of aspiring good players on Utd roster Nani, Chicharito are doing amazing with good support of Young Berbatov Manchester can do good even without Rooney
oops whats this? 5-0 on an amazing match Barca! :D althought that isnt very surprising but this..
1-1 Valencia vs. Chelsea http://www.marca.com/marcador/futbol/2011_12/champions/1a_fase/jornada_2/grupo_e/val_che/
EDIT on my defense Rooney look hella old but look at this ye sthey are captain of their squad, and they lost to barca who has the youngestt players
Real Madrid is overrated it's good but it has fallen out of grace

wtf are you talking about
rooney is 25 years old he is good for 7 years at least assuming no bad injuries (his playstyle isnt the type that leads to those imo). berbatov is 30 and looks older and lazier with every passing day. i would say that the best critique of united is that they are inexperienced. real madrid is used to playing big games, united plays in big games too, but they dont have the smae type of collective experience as real madrid's squad which is filled by players who captian their international teams.
