Pogba To Start Against Leeds?

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Paul Pogba will feature in tonight’s game against Leeds.

The 18-year-old has impressed for the Reserves since joining United from Le Havre in 2009. The French club kicked up a big stink about his departure and given the way he has come on at United, it’s no surprise.

“He’s got a slight injury, it’s not too bad, though,” said Ferguson. “So he wasn’t available for Sunday but he should be able to play on Tuesday and I intend to play him against Leeds United.”

What is most interesting about this statement is the suggestion that Pogba might have been in the squad for Chelsea if not for the injury.

Burnley made approach to sign the teenager on loan but United rejected the approach.

“It’s more difficult to loan a boy of 18 who’s come from France,” he continued. “We prefer to keep him with us until we find he’s mature enough to possibly go on loan. Maybe next year that could be an option but we’re definitely expecting him this season to stay with Manchester United.”

    Perfect chance for Paul to make a claim for a first team place. Go Pogba!

  2. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Finally. ComeOn United.
    Hope its a young team. Really looking forward to Pogba. Wishing Tom and Danny were back for this.
    Should be a crackin atmosphere.

    Red v White. Get stuckin!!!!

  3. Zelh says:

    I expect a really young back 4, an experienced midfield with Pogba in it and the Berb up front.

    Pogba has it all. The sky is his limit.

  4. parryheid says:

    Hopefully this is our missing mifielder

  5. Ibadan4United says:

    2 – 0 United
    Can’t wait!

  6. Ibadan4United says:

    Park & Berb to score

  7. smartalex says:

    Surely a tough place to start, a baptism of fire where the lad can really endear himself to us.
    Come on United! Come on Paul Pogba!

  8. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    Looks like King Eric had a word with the gaffer! Am excited to see him looked comfortable when he came on against New York Cosmos. I still hope that theres a strong-ish team out tonight. Do not want to lose whatsoever!!!

  9. WillieRedNut says:

    Even if he starts tonight, the boss has hinted, that he could still go out on loan next season. Looking forward to seeing this lad. Very similar to big Pat. Hope he’s as good!

  10. Pavan says:

    How come we change threads just after I post something really long and all. tutut this won’t do at all….

  11. Fred says:

    Copy and paste it, Pavan! :)

  12. Devil310 says:

    If he performs when called, I don’t think will loan him out….The competition for Central Midfield places is wide open at the moment, so he’ll get games….but it all depends on how he does today.

  13. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    We seem to have a whole lot of expectation on him, let’s not put too much pressure on the boy.

  14. Fred says:

    Running down the wing
    Hear United sing
    Viva Ronaldo!

    8)

  15. Pavan says:

    Naah Fred, don’t wanna clog the thread with such a large off-topic discussion. Ah well I can have another long discussion later as well.
    Pogba, well well I liked what i saw in the Scholesy testimonial, nice ball control and all, so lets see if he has the right attitude, as it seems like the biggest issue(nobody generally thinks so, but look at SAF saying that if he was more mature, then he would have been loaned out) although I guess he is unsecure and ambitious and foreign, hence the thirst that always exists in the best. Hopefully its just that and that he still listens to the coaches and is a true team player. Here’s hoping he is so good that no more calls for a Sneijder are needed from any one next time around.

  16. Zelh says:

    Amos; Valencia, Fryers, Carrick, Fabio; Giggs, Park, Macheda; Diouf, Owen & Berba.

    wtf is that?

  17. scan74 says:

    good luck 2 pogba tonight good test 4 him as those fucking goons will be fired up hope a few more young uns get a run out and all

    good luck 2 the boys on and off the park tonight

    19

  18. Zelh says:

    fergie took the it for real to put the players in who need games.

  19. keano99 says:

    We owe these one after the cup game. All together now “we all hate leeds scum we all hate leeds scum”. Hate the cunts. Red army

  20. King Eric says:

    Zehl – What? Weird fucking line up. No midfielders and 4 strikers???

  21. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Amos, Valencia, Fryers, Carrick, Fabio, Giggs, Park, Macheda, Diouf, Owen, Berbatov

  22. Limbu says:

    If he doesn’t play well today i hope idiotic fans don’t get on his back. Weather he plays well or not we should not be judging him on just one senior game. Good luck to him and the team. If he doesn’t play well today i hope idiotic fans don’t get on his back. Weather he plays well or not we should not be judging him on just one senior game. Good luck to him and the team.

  23. Berbatov's Love Life says:

    which player does Pogba most resemble? Havent seen much of him.

  24. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Saw Fryers picked a couple of hours ago. That is some serious insider info. Hmmm!

  25. WillieRedNut says:

    No Pogba, after all the build up!

  26. King Eric says:

    That is the strangest line up I have seen Fergie select. No Pogba. One full back. One central midfielder at centre back in Carrick and 4 fucking strikers. Got to be a wind up?

  27. Zelh says:

    that’s not a team.

    Dunno what was in Fergie’s mind there.

  28. theboogeyman says:

    Is that team real?!

  29. keano says:

    @King Eric Fryers is a full back

  30. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Weird.

  31. Justin10RvN says:

    can anyone help me with a stream?

  32. FletchTHEMAN says:

    You lads worried about the midfield?! Only 2 true defenders Fryers and Fabio. Amos might be busy.

    Right then, Lets score 15 then it doesn’t matter, WHAT?!

  33. King Eric says:

    keano – Yeah he is. Forgot. Well him and Fabio. So who the fuck at centre back? Carrick and ? Where the fuck are Macheda and Diouf gonna fit in?

  34. Limbu says:

    whether* not weather damn this english language

  35. slim says:

    i’m not so surprised to see Jones not starting but i am surprised there’s no Evans in there and the biggest shock of all, Carrick at CB. Goodness. I’ll leave thoughts on that till after the game. Line up very strange indeed. reminds me when we played 9 defenders and 1 attacker against Arsenal

  36. Zelh says:

    Subs: De Gea, Welbeck, RBrown, MKeane, Thorpe, Pogba, Cole

    great bench.
    Welbeck back!

  37. theboogeyman says:

    Forgot my manners. Good evening guys.

  38. keano says:

    King Eric- who knows! I guess we’re going to see lots of goals this evening

  39. Pavan says:

    All right lads, looks like we’re going all out for total football and all, funny 2 defenders, 2 midfielders as defenders, 2 forwards as midfielders and i guess 2 forwards. Funny, I have got a nice feeling about this team, even though the balances all seem messed up, SAF thinks that’s enough, then it’s enough.

  40. Belfast Red says:

    Loadsa hype surrounding Pogba and most of it justified,but th boy is very inexperienced and I’d hate to see them Leeds Scum kick lumps outa him.What about Petrucci? no talk about him and Reds seem to have forgotten him. I would like to see him get his chance tonight as I feel he could be ready

  41. eplfan says:

    Why is DDG in the bench and not ALG

  42. T4M says:

    Very strange Line-Up I must say.hope it doesn’t backfire.

  43. ronomo says:

    Link for a stream anyone?

  44. WillieRedNut says:

    If anyone got that starting lineup, give them a blue Peters badge! :)

  45. Zelh says:

    According to Canal+ the quataris are quite near to buy United for 2 billion $

  46. EDCUNITED1878 says:

    United team: Amos; Valencia, Carrick, Fryers, Fabio; Diouf, Giggs, Park; Macheda, Berbatov, Owen. Substitutes: De Gea, Welbeck, Pogba, Brown, M Keane, Thorpe, Cole.

  47. mikekelly12 says:

    Is this the confirmed line-up? I’d have put Tom Thorpe in at the back. Natural Centre back and Shit Hot!

  48. Zelh says:

    Yes it’s confirmed.

  49. Kings says:

    Come on United.

  50. Zibbie says:

    Yes fuck yes Wellbeck is back on the bench.
    OK SAF Carrick gets time at CB, Rio and Vida hurt, Smalling grion Rafa still out. Give him some CB mins.
    Diouf and Kiko given time on the wings to step up for playing time. With Ravle can step up if one of the 3 Young, Nani, Tony V get hurt.
    SAF giving Tony V a shot at starting at RB to team with Nani going forward. If Tony adapts he is so strong with Nani stepping up defensive duties!!!!
    Options, Options, Options, Options,Options……..

  51. CedarsDevil says:

    Looks like the boss is going with the famous 4 2 4 Brazilian formation…. Used with great effect by Brazil in 58…. Doubt that most here would know that!!

  52. slim says:

    WillieRedNut

    he was never going to start. To be honest won’t be surprised to see him get just 20 minutes tonight.

  53. Zibbie says:

    Come on United!!!

  54. Gandalf says:

    wow – is this lineup for real? Never expected this.

    would be interesting to hear Fergie’s view on the selection. I dearly hope we perform well and win. Cannot bear thinking otherwise. Come on you reds.

  55. dazbomber says:

    @Zelh – hi mate how reliable is Canal+ ?

  56. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    @CedarsDevil

    Respect for the age man!:D

  57. Devil310 says:

    ….and I thought the last year’s line up against Arsenal FA cup tie was weird

  58. WillieRedNut says:

    Not being smart after the fact, but I was going to suggest Carrick in defense. ;) I chickened out!

  59. Fred says:

    It’s like this, you numpties:

    Amos
    Valencia, Carrick, Fryers, Fabio
    Diouf, Giggs, Park, Macheda
    Berbatov, Owen

    :D

  60. vpRed says:

    hi guys,this is first comment on the day when SAF has selected the weirdest 11.

  61. Pavan says:

    You are wrong Fred, its actually like this

    Amos
    Valencia Carrick Fryers Fabio
    macheda Park Giggs Diouf
    Berbatov Owen

  62. karandravs says:

    what shape are we playing with this team … i have no clue..

  63. Zibbie says:

    Willie with the new tactical press from the front and push ahead we have seen CB push up, so Carrick at CB not bad if he can defend at all. I see SAF happy winning 3-1 vs 1-0. Jones in front of Carrick hehehe..

  64. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    When did we put Rafa Benitez in charge of our Carling Cup games? :lol:

  65. Zibbie says:

    I do not have Fox Soccer plus as an option. So no TV for me.
    Steams please.

  66. AnomanderRake says:

    Your all wrong.

    IT like this.

    Valencia Fryers Fabio
    Carrick
    Park Giggs
    Berbatov
    Owen Macheda Diouf

  67. Devil310 says:

    No no no….you’re are ALL WRONG!

    ——————Amos————-
    ———-Fryers —- Fabio———
    —————Carrick————–
    Valencia —-Giggs———-Park
    macheda Diouf—Berbatov Owen

    2-1-3-4 :D

  68. orez says:

    This is one crazy lineup. I suppose some of the choices are forced, but still. I hope for a good game, but don’t expect much to be honest. Would be unfair to the guys, considering that this is the crazies line up I have ever seen.

  69. Zibbie says:

    Balaji Sivaraman Hello!!!
    I saw some one claimed you as harsh, I laughed so, you are a fare spirited man Balaji Sivaraman!

  70. EDCUNITED1878 says:

    Very good height and strength in the team. Lots of players who will run for Owen and Berba. Park will slide down behind Valencia when TonyV rips forward.

  71. Fred says:

    Magnus Eikrem top red :D

    “watching osasuna v Sevilla before man utd v scum”

    http://twitter.com/#!/WolffEikrem7/status/116214357163126785

  72. Zibbie says:

    310 I have been saying a 1-1-2-3-4 formation is the way to go!

  73. CedarsDevil says:

    KingOfStretfordEnd

    Thanks! Not that old mind you, just seen videos of it… :-)

  74. the scottish wonder says:

    Are we playin 2 4 4?

    according to manutd.com Fryers is a left back

    so we do have 2 full backs,2 midfielders, 2 wingers, and 4 strikers

    Well this will be interesting :)

  75. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Jello Zibbie! Thanks my friend, really touched by that. :)

  76. ManchesterMike says:

    G’afternoon all you mangy smelly criminals! :)
    SAF to himself: “I know what I’ll do… I’ll put all the old warhorses in who hardly touch the pitch, with all the newest phillies who hardly touch the pitch, stir in a bit of MadGaffer formation tweeks to see what it would be like if we didn’t put any Midfield on the pitch (thinking it could be easier to avoid a barca midfield rather than take the trouble of beating it), and piss of the leeds scum that we all hate in the process!”

  77. planetx6 says:

    wait what. what’s the formation?

  78. CedarsDevil says:

    Balaji

    Wash your mouth with soap and bang your head against a wall for even joking about that! hahaha

  79. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    For all people looking for streams, I will always suggest Sopcast streams as they have HD quality. Watching them on a HD screen, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between cable and the stream.

    http://www.livefootballol.com/streaming/epl/carling-cup-r3-leeds-united-manchester-united-20-09-2011.html

    I currently use the Bloodzeed HQ Sopcast stream from the above link. If you are worried about installing a new software, I have to say that it is totally worth it given the quality of stream on offer.

    Cedars LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Shit life calls I must leave soon so reading RoM will be my best source of the game!!

  82. Costas says:

    What the fuck?

  83. Zibbie says:

    Your welcome and respected by myself and many more here. Balaji.

  84. sachu says:

    we are playing 0-0-10

  85. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Looks like Costas just had a look at the team line up. How are you holding up our Greek friend, be sure to have those Kebabs ready?

    :lol:

  86. Konjour says:

    Actually,it looks more like a 3-1-4-2 to me,carrick to play a bit in front of fryers alternating between defensive midfield on the front foot,and a makeshift center back while on the back. Very tricky line-up with a lot of gambling from the gaffer,hope it pays off and we get to see why he is called ‘Sir’ once again or else he’s gonna be bollocked by a lot of journos and fans if he should lose the plot. Hoping for the best though. #GGMU!

  87. aimanunited says:

    WTF with the lineup?

  88. Costas says:

    @Balaji

    Yeah mate, it was that obvious hey? Waiting to see how they line up, but it’s safe to say that Fergie’s decision to keep 7 strikers is paying off!

  89. Indian Devil says:

    Any channel bringing it live in india??

    Ten action plus was supposed to telecast that but it is now showing serie a :x

  90. edwin says:

    COME ON UNITED!!!

  91. TonyBee says:

    anyone got the team sheet ….with the bench ?

  92. Doghouse says:

    Berbatov! Epic double goal line save.

  93. mattos says:

    anyone got a good stream?

  94. Eddo says:

    mancunians,,ts good to see Zeki Fryers starin tonight i remember one point Rio referrin to him as the one to watch in the 2018 world cup,,(assumin of course England wuld host it..)and Wes bro in the sub bench i hv heard nothin but praise for tht kid..but wht m really lookin forward is to see Pogba in action tonight..lets av ie..!!mancunians,,ts good to see Zeki Fryers starin tonight i remember one point Rio referrin to him as the one to watch in the 2018 world cup,,(assumin of course England wuld host it..)and Wes bro in the sub bench i hv heard nothin but praise for tht kid..but wht m really lookin forward is to see Pogba in action tonight..lets av ie..!!

  95. Costas says:

    Take that you scum!

  96. slim says:

    owen sure know how to finish. good ball from berba and park

  97. TonyBee says:

    Mikey Owen still got the hunger for goals ain’t he

  98. Israel says:

    Yes!!! Owen 1-0!!!

  99. Zelh says:

    YSB YSB! :)

    FUCKING SHEEPFUCKERS!

  100. RedKonvict says:

    Die leeds scum !!! Owen !!!

  101. Costas says:

    So from what I figured out, the formation is like this:

    4-3-3:

    Amos – Tony V, Fryers, Carrick, Fabio – Park, Berba, Giggs – Diouf, Owen, Kiko

  102. ididnotzeeit says:

    Owen you fucking former Scouser bastard!!! Coulda shut them up, nearly fucked it up, Viva Mickey O,,,

    Just incredible, the match going on in the stands is almost as enjoyable as the match on the pitch. Come’on you Reds!! Put four up on these filthy fuckers and quiet’em down!

  103. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Real strange line up, could be a long night despite leading

  104. Zelh says:

    Arsenal behind against Shrewsberry! LOOOOL :lol:

  105. Zelh says:

    Shrewsbury of course :lol:

  106. ididnotzeeit says:

    @ Costas

    I see a 4-4-2

    Macheda and Diouff on the wings, Giggs and Park in the middle

  107. mattos says:

    i actually think diouf is quite a good player

  108. ididnotzeeit says:

    Although, as my handle would suggest, my vision can be Wenger-esque at times ;)

  109. Giggsy's Lawyer says:

    We’re in fine voice tonight

  110. Costas says:

    With the depth of our squad in certain areas and the lack of it in others, maybe Tony V and Berba should get used to playing at RB and CM respectively. ;)

  111. Zelh says:

    well done fabio!

  112. Costas says:

    @ididnotzeeit

    Just about. But Berba’s role is a bit different to Owen’s. He tracks back a lot.

  113. Devil310 says:

    Watch out Nani and Valencia…..OWEN THE NEW WINGER!

  114. Devil310 says:

    Fucking Micky….having a field day!

  115. Costas says:

    Get in Mikey!

  116. TonyBee says:

    a fucking whizzbanger from Owen GET THE FUCK IN 2-0

  117. ididnotzeeit says:

    Jesus Owen, beautiful poacher, well done lad

  118. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    anyone find it worrying that macheda isn’t improving much? his finishing can be quality but his all round play can be lacking.

  119. RedManWalking says:

    What a finish!! Saw the amount of time he kept the ball at his feet? Almost zero! He got it, he smashed it in!

  120. RedKonvict says:

    Every other team must be shitting themselves by seeing our squad !!! Fuck three great goalkeepers, 1 for the league , 1 for champions league , 1 for the cup.
    M Lovin it :)

    GGMU !!!

  121. smartalex says:

    Fred predicted a hat trick for Owen, come on Micky!

  122. Zelh says:

    get in YSB!

  123. aimanunited says:

    owen is so fucking clinical, not many strikers can do that…

  124. TonyBee says:

    Lets get a bag a fucking hatful tonight and show these fucking scumbags how shit they are on their own patch…

  125. jeet says:

    Mickey Owen on fucking fire!! That line-up is just taking the piss outta everybody, Leeds included!

    many thanks to all who helped with (non)broadcast info for India and streams. Watching http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/81510/1/watch-leeds-united-vs-manchester-united.html

    Quite good. BIG question – how exactly did we lose to Leeds year before last???

  126. TonyBee says:

    you watching MG ?

  127. Mr C says:

    I’ve always hated Leeds with a passion, even more than City or Liverpool. 2-0? Show no mercy. Give ‘em some more.

  128. EDCUNITED1878 says:

    I see Elland Road has some empty seats in the home section….already herding their sheep home.

    Oh Elland Road…is full of sheep….

  129. Zelh says:

    ah tony that should be 3.

  130. McQueen says:

    Mickey Owen looking the complete player atm! Valencia…. how?! Oh well, not as bad as Torres!

  131. Collyhurst Red says:

    Maceda is having a poor game, seems he just wants to get on the scoresheet rather than passing to a teammate in a better position.

    Owen is class though, hat-trick anyone!

  132. mattos says:

    the fuck was that tackle on park? came through the back of him and off the ground

  133. RedManWalking says:

    Bastard!!!

  134. Eddo says:

    Owen is makin a case for himself tonight,,berba shuld learn a thing or two frm him..!!

  135. RedKonvict says:

    Almost 3-0. Well almost :)

    Hiya Toynbee, keano was lookin for ya to kick some of the leeds scums :)

  136. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Mattos – so you just noticed diouf is a good player? you really aren’t keeping up with united, are you?

  137. mattos says:

    fuck i hate leeds

  138. ididnotzeeit says:

    Anyone else notice Giggs just quietly, confidently pulling the strings? Legend that man, hasn’t put a foot wrong all night. Berbatov, cool as fuck. Owen with the brace but those two have been just playing chess out there, it’s great to watch.

  139. TonyBee says:

    REDKONVICT. Fucking Leeds scum need their nobs bit off :lol:

  140. mattos says:

    @ samuel

    i said “i actually think diouf is quite a good player”.. implying that while other people may not rate him, i do. maybe you need to keep up with your english?

  141. TonyBee says:

    prediction…….. Macheda will be off early second half……

  142. ididnotzeeit says:

    Thank you Ryan Giggs

  143. Costas says:

    It’s a testament to how shite this Leeds team is that Park is doing Messi like solo runs against them.

  144. slim says:

    I simply love Ryan Giggs

  145. mattos says:

    giggs.. giggs will tear you apart.. again

  146. TonyBee says:

    that’s the best way to shut the scum up Giggsy

  147. Zelh says:

    that boy should end his carreer right away.
    old giggsy skinned him totally.

  148. smartalex says:

    Tremendous finish from Giggs! Makes it all look so easy!

  149. Mr C says:

    3-0 Excellent. No mercy tonight please. Humiliate the Leeds bastards!

  150. McQueen says:

    hahaha fuck you leeds. what a player sir giggsy

  151. RedKonvict says:

    Tonybee
    Well i suppose we could do that, but i dont think they hav nobs so saved us some time there :) :)

  152. slim says:

    kiko needs to get his head out his ass

  153. aimanunited says:

    that old man make it looks so easy…
    how many times did we score 3 goals in the 1st half this season?

  154. TonyBee says:

    Costas,,,,Park >Messi like runs ……funny as fuck ….hahahahah

  155. jeet says:

    thats it…nightynight. long day, breakfast meeting tomorrow…red dreams:)

  156. Costas says:

    This United team scores for fun at the moment no matter who’s playing. Great stuff by Giggsy there.

    As for Kiko, imo left wing isn’t a position where he flourishes. It never has. Maybe if Owen or Berba are taken off early, Fergie will draft him inside.

  157. RedManWalking says:

    16 goals from 16 starts for Michael Owen. Interesting.

  158. TonyBee says:

    Redkkonvict….they certainly aint got the balls for it neither

  159. aimanunited says:

    bring pogba and whoever youngster on the bench, just wanna see them play…

  160. Ancha says:

    slim

    Kiko has the talent, he will come good in future & yeah he needs to sort his head

  161. pablo says:

    kiko is still living in 2009………fuck me though young fryers cool as fuck!!! whats he all about another gem in the making….cmon you reds!!!

  162. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Grand old master ryan giggs showing them how its done, pogba to come on? and perhaps more young player’s. what do people think of fryers so far? i’d like other views.iews.

  163. Zelh says:

    NOW I WANT POGBA AND COLE! :)

  164. micho says:

    macheda is terrible today

  165. EDCUNITED1878 says:

    Once Owen scored his second, the only thing on my mind to make things complete….a short corner, a nutmeg, beating three Scums and a shot with the outside of his left boot onto the roof of the net.

    Get in Giggsy!!!!!!!

  166. Costas says:

    161 goals for Giggs. Just when Rooney thought he was getting closer. ;)

  167. CedarsDevil says:

    Is anyone still confused by the line up? hahahaha

    Samuel – hope you’re feeling better now my friend! :-)

  168. pablo says:

    mickey owens still got it by the way….class class clas finisher and to be fair always will be!!!

  169. Ancha says:

    Owen played well whenever he has been given games, I hope we use him more often. He is still dangerous in the final third, not just scoring but general play as well, nice setup for Tony V

  170. Mr C says:

    I am still a bit worried about this game – not the result but the risk that those dirty Leeds bastards with resort to kicking our players as they get stuffed. Same old Leeds. The challenge on Park was a disgrace.

  171. RedManWalking says:

    Btw. Amazing passing from Carrick.

  172. Fred says:

    :D Loving this! Valencia should have scored too, shocking miss. We could win 6-0 here! Fryers is playing like a seasoned pro. Macheda and Diouf not so hot, but they are strikers, not wingers. Owen has a great chance of completing the hat-trick I predicted. All in all, extremely satisfied. :)

  173. Costas says:

    Agree with Zelh. Get Paul and Lanell on!

  174. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Anybody getting the common theme between all our performances this season: We’ve got our old swagger back. It doesn’t matter what team Sir Alex puts out – it feels like we go out with the intention of brutally murdering teams. The goals scored stat has demonstrated as much, but even the teams put out by Sir Alex is showing more attacking intent than in the past couple of seasons. I know this is just a Carling Cup match against a Championship team, but it is pretty evident in this match as well. I think this is going to be one enjoyable season.

    * Owen has been top drawer. Really is a testament to the statement that form is temporary, class is permanent. Amazing strike for the goal and some incredible close-control to set up Valencia for what should’ve been our third.
    * Ryan Giggs – 3 sub appearances, 2 starts – 2 assists and 2 goals. The man is fucking 38, come on. What a player! I simply love this guy. Have nothing more to say.
    * Berbatov is class. Some of his flicks to keep the ball moving were pretty much what we would expect from him. Now, he needs to top it with a goal to get his confidence back. Still, I will pay top dollar to watch that.
    * Macheda has been poor for me. Too many stray passes and hard first touches. He really needs to get his act together in this game and for his future as well.

    Anyways, it never gets boring to beat Leeds.

  175. sandeep1878 says:

    Sir Ryan Giggs…!!!

    Owen..cool finishes..

    m worried about scums taking on our players..

    we gotta protect ourselves from such reckless opposition

  176. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Redmanwalking – a goal scoring stat like that would make owen a starter at other clubs, he is a deadly finisher, end of. shame he is 31 now.

  177. Marq says:

    Whole team doing well, apart from Macheda, who appears kind of lost out on the left

  178. Mr C says:

    Arsenal ‘equalised’ against Shrewsbury to bring it 1-1. WTF! The 8-2 thrashing they got at OT has really messed with Arsenal’s minds….

  179. mikekelly12 says:

    Anyone else know why the commentator was saying the leeds fans are still in high spirits when we haven’t heard fuck all out of them all match and United fans have not stopped all half. Doesn’t he know we’re away!! UNITED AWAY…..BEST SUPPORT IN WORLD SPORT…..FACT!!!

  180. Warwick says:

    Thought fergie must have been on the wacky baccy drawing up the team sheet – but to quote the fans, this is so fuckin easy!

  181. Fred says:

    Oh, wasn’t Snodgrass the cunt who went through Berbatov from behind on the halfway line? If so, the yellow card he picked up for hacking down Park should have been a red. Cunt.

  182. RedKonvict says:

    Any fuckin striker who can score a 95 minute winner against the bitters and a couple against the scums is a fuckin UNITED LEGEND !!
    Mikey u beauty!!!

  183. RedManWalking says:

    Tweet from Rio -

    rioferdy5: Giggs Giggs will tear u apart again!! 3 – 0…..young Zeke fryers having a solid debut.

  184. Clint-iamyourpapii says:

    Yes Mickey, great Goals !
    Would like to see the rest get on the scoreline, if its not 12-0 I blame Gibson !

    Giggsy’s still taking apart players at his age :lol: Long may it continue.

    Hopefully Pogba,Reece Brown and Welbeck/ Keano come on to impress.

  185. Zelh says:

    take the berb off and rest him for stoke.
    give kiko a run as a forward not as a winger.

  186. mikekelly12 says:

    The tit on sky sports has just said it was a good atmosphere til the 3rd goal went in and the leeds fans went a bit flat after that????? Is that glass sound proof?? Fuckin half witt!!!

  187. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Cedars – i’m relaxed buddy, pogba for fourth goal maybe? you never know lol

  188. Ancha says:

    Samuel

    31 isn’t an issue if he is fit and firing like today. He should be given game time if he is going to play like this

  189. RedKonvict says:

    Clint good one mate. HAha poor chap gibson.

  190. Fred says:

    Giggs off for Pogba!

  191. Ancha says:

    RedKonvict

    nice stat, Owen late late winner vs Shitty & probably a hattrick vs Leeds – Legend!

  192. Devil310 says:

    Fuck….i missed Giggs’ Goal

    I just got my shirt with his name on it. Fucking Legend.

    POGBA ON!

  193. mattos says:

    pogba!

  194. Fred says:

    This is so exciting!

  195. edwin says:

    COME ON UNITED!!

  196. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Pogba is on, c’mon do it boy

  197. Zelh says:

    It’s Pogba-Time! :)

  198. Costas says:

    Can’t someone in here bash Carrick just for the sake of it? ROM feels weird with no Carrick bashing.

  199. mikekelly12 says:

    Come on Pogs!!

  200. Mr C says:

    Pogba on…mmm..this is going to be interesting

  201. RedManWalking says:

    @Samuel – I know mate. I would like to see us use him more. He has been exceptional in the final third, like Balaji mentioned, not just in terms of goal but also in play through the center and the wing. I think he will be an excellent influence on our Lil Pea.

  202. manutdisadream says:

    pogba in giggsy out. any streams?

  203. TonyBee says:

    carrick is shit…sell the cunt….

    better Costas? :lol;

  204. RedManWalking says:

    @Costas – Carricks passing was off by a centimeter. He is shit!

  205. CedarsDevil says:

    A female red is really laying it into the Leeds fans on the Sky live site….. Really hilarious stuff

  206. rat1p says:

    wow what a waste of money carrick is

  207. mattos says:

    pogba great ball

  208. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Ancha – i understand that but again you could other player’s are doing better, however he indeed should be getting more game time but the squad is massive and competitive.

  209. EDCUNITED1878 says:

    Fucking hell the boy has balls with that ball out to TonyV

  210. Zelh says:

    great pass from the pog.

  211. Costas says:

    Thanks guys. NOw I feel like I am home. :)

  212. Zelh says:

    The Berb is taking the piss out of leeds :lol:

  213. Karandeep says:

    any idea who is the captain rite now??

  214. Giggsy's Lawyer says:

    Forssell doing a fucking Kevin Davies on Pogba. Jesus

  215. Giggsy's Lawyer says:

    Carrick is captain

  216. RedKonvict says:

    Karandeep
    Carrick’s got the armband :)

  217. Giggsy's Lawyer says:

    WE ALL HATE LEEDS SCUM, WE ALL HATE LEEDS SCUM

  218. TonyBee says:

    yeah Carrick has the armband co he’s shit

  219. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Redmanwalking – despite his age, owen seems to have improved his all round game since he joined the club, yeah i agree he should be used more, can he break in as a starter? it will be difficult but he will be another reserved ammunition for united.

  220. Karandeep says:

    how has fryers played??

  221. Giggsy's Lawyer says:

    Owen on fire! That would have been a lovely goal for the hat trick

  222. Giggsy's Lawyer says:

    Fryers has looked solid and coped with everything thrown at him so far. He looks like another quality defender coming through the ranks

  223. Zelh says:

    Fryers will put pressure on Evra and Fabio as he’s normally a LB.

  224. Costas says:

    Pogba doing well so far. :)

  225. Zelh says:

    Pogba’s passing and vision is superb.

  226. Fred says:

    The travelling Reds finally join me in the Viva Ronaldo chant I started at 18:53. 8)

    Wes Brown chant going now. :D

  227. Costas says:

    Berba as a CM is why Fergie didn’t sign Sneijder. :)

  228. ididnotzeeit says:

    Wish there was a website dedicated to the chants and songs that fill the grounds on nights like these. Two guys, two phone cameras, taping the support. Not that I’d give two fucking shits what the scum have to say but I think it’d just be an absolute riot to go listen to a recap of the game as per the fans.

    If it’s not already available, I claim patent #99785106

    If it is available, hit man up with a link.

    Rent Boyz Sunday, Filthy Scum today, I call that white noise at night, sleep like a baby :)

  229. Israel says:

    Fucking ITV!!!

    They have a programme on at the moment called “20 Goals That Shooked The World”.

    Again the put forward the myth that Denis Law’s goal for Man Shitty relegated United back in 1974.

    When is this fucking lie doing to die?

  230. rat1p says:

    19 19 19 19 19

  231. Israel says:

    Okay, that should be “going to die”.

  232. Zelh says:

    well done from fryers.

  233. CedarsDevil says:

    Israel

    Sadly idiots listen to idiots………. We were relegated regardless, everyone should know that

  234. Costas says:

    No need to use Danny today imo. Isn’t he schedule to start on Saturday?

  235. TonyBee says:

    Ken Bates,,,, you bought a heap of shite

  236. mikekelly12 says:

    I know I keep banging on about it but Alan Smith has just said “The home fans have been superb, 3-0 down and still they continue to get behind the team” ITS FUCKING US YOU DAFT TWAT!!!!!

  237. Mr C says:

    Its over 70 mins – have Leeds had a shot on goal yet?

  238. Zelh says:

    yeah cause the fuckings sheeps sing 12 days of Cantona :lol:

  239. MG says:

    Viva MG-do

    Viva MG-do

    He writes from the left to the right

    Viva MG-do

    :lol:

    Eat your heart out Ronaldo :lol:

    Chuffed to bits with the lads – very proud and very happy to see Pogba on and more importantly Danny is back.

    ;)

  240. CedarsDevil says:

    Costas – You really put a smile on my face my friend and I mean that in the nicest possible way

  241. MG says:

    Totally agree with Costas

    Berbas new role suits him totally – actually makes him run too ;)

    :lol:

  242. MG says:

    Brilliant Cole is on

    ;)

  243. Zelh says:

    Larnell is coming on.

    SAF must be reading my posts :p

  244. rat1p says:

    @mikekelly12
    was thinking the same weird stuff

  245. Mr C says:

    OK ..its 80 mins I make that Leeds’ first serious shot on goal.

  246. ididnotzeeit says:

    Paul Scholes, still controlling the game, even from the stands – Jedi Stare

    Park Ji-Sung, Centerback? Hahahahahahah, South Korea’s #5

  247. CedarsDevil says:

    Nice to see Millwall getting hammered………….Another team with scum fans

  248. TonyBee says:

    WE ARE DOWN TO 10 MEN

  249. smartalex says:

    We have 5 of the best Centre-Halves in england on our books, and here we have Carrick and Park playing in the centre of defense!

    Oops! Change that, now it’s Berba at the back!

    Long live Fergie!

  250. Mr C says:

    Berba centre half – wtf!!!!

  251. Doghouse says:

    Berbatov at centre half to fill in for the last ten minutes with Fryers injured. What a trooper he is.

  252. drtanmaykj says:

    hahaha

  253. smartalex says:

    Leeds have been made to look like a pub team, with our line-up being drawn out of a hat, and still hammering them!

  254. Costas says:

    Now it’s Berba as the centre back. :lol:

    @Cedars

    Thanks. Because of the Berba/Sneijder comment? Well you know Fergie always has a plan, lol.

    @MG

    Speaking of that, it was fun to see him run like crazy on Sunday just to get at the end of Rooney’s pass. Despite what the Sun or the Mail will have yuou believe, Berba actually covers a lot of distance during games.

  255. Zelh says:

    Deary me.
    larnell looks like a 12 yo between all the guys :)

  256. MG says:

    ididnotzeeit

    No no no

    Paul Scholes: The stare of the dark side

    :lol:

  257. Israel says:

    A centre back partnership of Carrick and Berbatov?!?!?!?!?

    Now we ARE taking the piss!!

  258. redrider says:

    I wonder how good Berba’s at chess…

  259. micho says:

    Berba CB :)

  260. MG says:

    Costas

    I agree ;)

    smartalex

    Now if only DDG was up front!

    In any case what a game of total football today :lol:

  261. smartalex says:

    Vida and Rio will never get back into the team! It’s open season on the Centre-Half berth, with everyone having a turn!

  262. ididnotzeeit says:

    @ MG

    Regardless, the force is strong with that one

    Leeds are scum. Suppose I can thank the League Cup for giving me a friendly reminder every once in a while

  263. dela says:

    Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is the Berb really filling in as a centreback?

  264. TonyBee says:

    Leeds….. you’re shit and you know you are
    Leeds….. you’re shit and you know you are
    Leeds….. you’re shit and you know you are
    Leeds….. you’re shit and you know you are
    Leeds….. you’re shit and you know you are…… sing it loud
    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

  265. MG says:

    Berba is at Defocn left back

    Watch out Evra :lol:

  266. CedarsDevil says:

    Costas – Yep that’s the one my friend….

  267. mattos says:

    is berba playing centre back?

  268. smartalex says:

    MG – Agreed! And give Owen the last few minutes in goal!

  269. TonyBee says:

    Nunez….. you’re shit and you know you are
    Nunez….. you’re shit and you know you are

  270. Fred says:

    Loving this Carrick-Berbatov central defence. :lol: Controversial opinion here, but I think Valencia might be a better RB than either Da Silva. 8O

  271. manutdisadream says:

    berbs and carrick- the best CB’s in the world!!!!

  272. Costas says:

    Ridiculously easy. We could play with 6 players and Leeds still wouldn’t score.

    Don’t get the logic behind sending Berba back to cb. Wasn’t Pogba a more obvious choice? I guess Fergie is trying ways to fit him into the team, lol.

  273. TonyBee says:

    easy Peasy lemon squeasy

  274. Danillaco says:

    Berba at CB. How committed is that? I love the guy! Feel the BERBALOVE!!!

    Pogba, Fryes, Cole all on the side. Owen scoring twice, and we destroying scum with the most improbable team ever. It was a great night!

    Good night to you all!

  275. rat1p says:

    valencia is a beast should try him more often there

  276. ididnotzeeit says:

    @ redrider

    I dont know you mate, but my money would be on The Berb. I’m actually convinced he could make chess interesting to watch.

    Berba-vision?

    Fuck me, I need a patent lawyer, where’s Giggsy’s Lawyer when you need him? ;)

  277. redrider says:

    Fletch,Valencia,Smalling,Jones,Rafael,Fabio.
    What are our options at Right Back??

  278. slim says:

    thrilling match in the first halt but turned a bit damp in the second. Fancy Berba and Carrick as CB

  279. parryheid says:

    Simplicity itself a breeze well done lads.

  280. Zelh says:

    Fryers played himself right into the CC starting line-up.

    Pogba looked really nervous but put in a good shift.

  281. Costas says:

    @Fred

    I’ve thought about it too, but I need to see Tony V play there for 90 minutes in a competitive game. He showed good signs as a RB last season at the Bridge, but didn’t look as comfortable last Sunday. A very good alternative to have tough.

  282. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Well done United. Leed Who? what…… WHAT?

  283. Dimitar Berbatov is King! says:

    Dimitar Berbatov – Godfather of them all. He can play midfield, CB and striker.

    And Leeds isn’t coming up on this evidence, not if they cannot penetrate our 3rd choice CB pairing of Carrick-Berbatov.

  284. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    I love it when a plan comes together!

    :lol:

  285. redrider says:

    ididnotzeeit

    Think he’d have won before we start thinking about the first move.
    Just when we thought we couldn’t love him more!

    Think a partnership of Ando-Clev-Berba would be immense.

  286. Mr C says:

    Carrick was excellent tonight. In fact the whole team were. But given the grief he gets, he deserves special mention.

    Big up Mickey O tonight. Didnt really think he still has it. But he does. My bad.

  287. Fred says:

    Surely Valencia-Carrick-Berbatov-Fabio is the most attacking back four in the history of football.

  288. MG says:

    Next please!

    :lol:

  289. mikekelly12 says:

    Fred

    You have a point….. would say he is probably better than both Jones and Smalling in that position too!

  290. redrider says:

    Costas,Fred

    Tony V’s physique and pace would make tip the scales over the twins.
    But I’d rather see them fill out the full back spots. If they get stronger they’d be terrific.

  291. ididnotzeeit says:

    @ MG

    Bravo Team, mission complete, return to base.

    Alpha team ready?

  292. Fred says:

    Mr C – I agree and I am also happy to eat my words and apologise to Michaael Owen. He showed his worth to the team, the squad and the club tonight.

    Owen just said on Sky that Berbatov frequently plays CB in training. Interesting!

  293. Clint-iamyourpapii says:

    Welbeck gets injured…Chico comes straight back in…Chico gets injured….Welbeck comes straight in
    Weeeeiiird :???:

    Hope we kill those bastard stokies:
    My Line up:

    DDG
    Jones Rio Evans Evra
    Nani Fletcher Anderson Young
    Welbeck Rooney

    —————————————–
    When the hell is Vida back??? Where has Rio run off to???? When is Cleverley due back???
    What Happened to Rafael? I forgot……

  294. smartalex says:

    Stoke vs Spurs playing extra time!

  295. Vish says:

    Zelh, exactly the same thoughts going through my mind when I saw Cole coming on. He reminds me of the kid who plays on the playground during school lunch matches!

    Before I say anything about the game- massive shoutout to the reds at the ground today. Thought they were absolutely fantastic. The first rendition of Ooh Aah Cantona- goosebumps. Amazing support lads. Carrick played quite well today, did his job with no fuss, played his way through trouble. Fabio- quiet, didnt see him going forward much, but why the need with 4 attackers to begin with? Fryers- sad that he had to come off, his crossfield balls were quiet good, like Carrick played his way out of defence. Park/Giggs were absolutely sensational today. The guy has still got it. Loved his celebration too, shut up the fans. Pogba was busy, but I loved how Berbatov (towards the end, in his CB position) just kept one touch passing the ball to him, as if to say, lets see what you can do then. Forwards were pretty good, Owen nuff said, Diouf played with strength, Macheda got into the game.

    All in all, well done Reds, and as always- trust in Sir Alex Ferguson :D

  296. WillieRedNut says:

    Pogba was nervous, when he came on, but I did notice he always wanted the ball. Didn’t hide. Good asset to have in your locker. Can’t believe some were worried about Leeds! Fucking easy, as I predicted. We even took the piss at the end, with Berba in defense lol. Owen’s two goals were expertly taken. Still got the knack, in front of goal. That’s one scummy team dealt with, now for Stoke! :)

  297. Costas says:

    Makes sense that Berb would play in defence during training sessions. We have 6 other strikers, so Fergie has to fit him in somewhere. The guy deserves the medal for patience, lol.

  298. ididnotzeeit says:

    If anyone tonight, Giggs possibly played his way into Alpha team with that 45 minute clinic he put on.

    My $15/month for Setanta was just bought and paid for over the next 30 days by one Sir Ryan of Giggs.

    Ando and Giggsy on the weekend please. Love Fletcher but man does Giggs ever look good.

    Who am I kidding? The gaffer’s got this.

  299. Fred says:

    mikekelly – I wouldn’t go that far, but I certainly think Smalling seems to be a better RB than the twins atm, and Jones has looked very impressive. I like the twins a lot, I’m not bashing them, just calling it like I see it.

  300. Mr C says:

    We’ve got to go all out for all trophies this season. It’s the only way all the players in our TWO first teams are going to get the game time they deserve.

  301. Costas says:

    Rio Ferdinand
    “Berba loves it at centre back in training….thinks he is Berbenbaur!!”

  302. ididnotzeeit says:

    Berbenbaur……..AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

  303. Fred says:

    More fatigue accumulating here for those Stoke wankers, after their long journey to and from Kiev last week and the hammering they took at Sunderland. I hope this 120+ minutes against Spurs will soften them up even more for us this weekend.

    Controversial opinion here, but Owen could still do a job for England!

  304. Fred says:

    Berbenbauer :lol:

  305. aimanunited says:

    @Fred, I think the biggest difference between Smalling/Jones and Rafael/Fabio is in strength and tackling.
    Smalling/Jones tackle very well and rarely commits any foul and they can shrugged off opponents easily.
    Smalling/Jones also got skill and speed in them which is unusual for a big guy.
    Overall, our team this year are very versatile, any player can play at least 2 positions and if all goalkeepers are injured probably somebody can step up easily :-)

  306. redrider says:

    i bet berbenbaur could do a shift between the posts too…

  307. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Michael Owen. “Dimi plays CB all the time in training. Sure he was the first with this had up when we lot our CB”

    Honestly? Looked composed as well. Well done Dimitar, well done United.

    Well done to Fryers as well, very composed.

  308. Champions 19 says:

    Well done Reds Podga’s did well great passed and Brillant goals by Owen And Berotov can play anywhere very good played well wish i could see Keane on the pitch. Great 2 see Welback on the team. The utd boss will have 2 make a hard choice 2 play Berotov or Owen on saturday. Second half was poor no goals but great game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  309. redrider says:

    how many 38 year olds are out there who can pull off a nutmeg like that?

  310. CedarsDevil says:

    Next Carling cup game probable line up…

    Berba

    Valencia Carrick Park Giggs

    De Gea Amos Lindegaard Pogba

    Fabio Vidic

  311. Costas says:

    I was about to say what redrider did. I mean, with Berba’s uncanny ability to control any ball thrown his way, why not play him in goal? Nothing will get past him. :)

  312. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Defense sorted.

    First team back 4: Jones Evans, Smalling, Evra.
    Bench: Valencia, Rafael, Rio, Vida, Friers, Berbatov, Carrick Fabio, :lol:

  313. ididnotzeeit says:

    Berbenbaur actually made a fucking fantastic play in the first 10 minutes too. Shot from point blank? Stopped. Rebound? None, cleared. Cheeky that guy, just a stealth, cool, collected cat. I’m pretty sure he just brushed his shoulder off like nothing happened.

    Berbalove

  314. redrider says:

    Berbebaur – the keeper who refused to dirty his gloves.

  315. WillieRedNut says:

    I’ve a feeling Anders might start on Saturday. Just a hunch….

  316. Fred says:

    aimanunited – I agree. Jones and Smalling are very strong defensively and also very productive when they attack. They don’t get caught out as often as the twins seem to, and I can’t imagine they will spend as much time injured as the twins do either. They’re just more dependable all round, I would say.

  317. MG says:

    ididnotzeeit

    Ready!

    :lol:

  318. redrider says:

    Berbenbaur – the man who stopped Halley’s Comet with his boots.

  319. Fred says:

    Willie – no chance of that, could be seen as a huge show of no-confidence in De Gea and could have negative ramifications for him. The media vultures would seize upon it too. De Gea will play, no question about that.

  320. CedarsDevil says:

    Forest just equalized !! Not sure why but I have a soft spot for them…

  321. fergie is the boss says:

    No matter what side is put out, united cannot stop scoring

  322. ididnotzeeit says:

    Injuries aside I see it as De Gea Premier League and CL knockout phase. Lindegaard CL Groups and FA Cup. Amos CC

    Maybe a game gets swapped here or there but SAF seems to like all 3…which, makes me like all 3!

  323. Costas says:

    What will make the difference in our away games this season is what United did at Bolton and what we did today. Once we start playing our football with pace and quick passing, there’s not a lot teams can do to deal with that. That’s what we have to do at Stoke. Play our football, score a couple of early goals and get out of sight. Don’t know how many games our defence will win us this season.

  324. WillieRedNut says:

    Fred – Just a hunch, I said. ;) He’s already left him out, so the media can say what they like. They don’t dictate our starting lineup. Fergie wasn’t afraid to leave Rooney out against Everton last season. Even if DDG starts, I’m sure he would cope. I might have it wrong. We’ll see on Saturday. :)

  325. Costas says:

    Wow, some game at the City ground.

  326. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Obertans flick in has won it for Newcastle surely. Well done son.

  327. JD says:

    I thought everyone knew Tony V learnt that roll whilst injured

    From the banks of the irlwell to sicily and we will fight fight fight for man utd fc

  328. CedarsDevil says:

    Costas – Some game indeed, felt sad for Forest though!

  329. pablo says:

    fucking buzzing always great to beat the leeds scum just need poyet now to make the week complete…….a birmingham brighton double would make me a fuckin happy happy man….!!!

  330. Fred says:

    Oberton did the business for the Geordies? Do we have a buy-back clause? :lol:

  331. Costas says:

    @Cedars

    Sorry Forest didn’t at least take the game to penalties. Lost to a goal at the very end from Coloccini of all people. I hear Greening is playing for Nottingham now. How long has it been since we played them anyway? Since that 8-1 win in 99?

  332. Clint-iamyourpapii says:

    De Gea will play against Stoke, He was brilliant against Chelsea, Great against Bolton, Made fantastic saves vs Arsenal except one mistake, Spurs was easy and his debut has been forgotten.

    De Gea’s confidence will soar with each appearance, can’t see stoke threatening us especially when we’ll have the ball for 70% of the time and will be giving them the rollercoaster of their life.

    Hope Welbeck scores, he deserves some recognition for what he did to Arsenal -many forgot to praise him.

    Good times ahead :D

  333. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Leeds fans singing Munich songs. Now throwing brinks at the united support. United fans being escorted under protection. Only at Leeds. Hope they are another yrs in the wilderness.

  334. FletchTHEMAN says:

    ***50 yrs*****

  335. WillieRedNut says:

    Throwing brinks? Lol. Bricks! :) Scummy cunts. Took a beating, now acting like little bitches.

  336. Costas says:

    Never heard of sheep throwing bricks before.

  337. Mahesh says:

    FletchTHEMAN: To be fair, I hear our fans have been up to some disgusting Istanbul chanting earlier on. Disgusting behaviour all around.

  338. Mahesh says:

    Leeds have always been scum, its a pity some of ours actually descend to that level.

  339. scan74 says:

    Fletch The man

    Rotten horrible bastards there the real bitter bastards and no mistake

    there horrible fuckers and lads from most clubs would agree

    get back to league one

    19

  341. Fred says:

    @FletchTHEMAN – I agree with Mahesh, our fans were singing “Istanbul” at them, I don’t know if it was in response to Munich chants but it’s not very bright tbh.

  342. CedarsDevil says:

    Costas – If my memory is correct that 8-1 was the last time we played them…..Such a shame in a way, a team that won all the top prizes against the odds are like many others washed up and finished…

    Had without doubt the best English manager of our time….

  343. Fred says:

    Wow, you rate Steve McLaren highly! ;)

    I don’t mind Forest at all and have wanted them back in the PL for a while now. Certainly don’t feel that way about Leeds though! x:

  344. Fred says:

    McClaren, sorry.

    I sord off knoo I had spelled it wrong… and indeed I had… I think…

  345. WillieRedNut says:

    Some lad in the forum said a United fan might have been stabbed. Not confirmed, now. Crazy, if true.

  346. CedarsDevil says:

    Fred

    lol Good one my friend….I did say ‘had’ mind you ;-)

    Nothing and no one compares to Leeds!

  347. Costas says:

    @Cedars

    I thought that was Terry Venables. :lol: I definitely miss Forest in the top flight though. I’d gladly take them over Wigan or Stoke.

  348. Zelh says:

    papertalk all about istanbul-chants and of course no one heard the Munich-chants. :roll:

    ashamed of the United-fans who chanted about istanbul.

  349. scan74 says:

    fuck me mate txt me and said getting back 2 the the car tonight was like that old film the warriors having 2 fight your past gangs to make it back home !!!

    lets hope there just rumours Mr Rednut and all the boys get back safe

  350. CedarsDevil says:

    Costas – Stoke yes, but Wigan nooo! 6 guaranteed points every season!

    Night all and I hope non of our boys got hurt tonight …..

  351. Fred says:

    Night Cedars. :)

  352. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Seems to have been some thugish behavior from United fans as well.. One was apparently waving a Turkey Shirt. That would have taken some planning. Just sayin.

    But Bricks, thought that era was behind us. Sad.

  353. WillieRedNut says:

    Scan74 – Hope so mate.

  354. wayne says:

    Anyone who hasn’t seen Damn Utd should watch it
    My time watching Utd live was through the 70′s so Agro pretty well happened evey game especially
    Away so the violence doesn’t bother me different era I guess

  355. xol says:

  356. xol says:

    Wonder if we’ll see De Gea in the Scholes role at some point :-)

  357. What??? says:

    Half hoped we’d see Kiko and Diouf used on the Wings this season, Diouf especially has shown he has the energy and discipline to cover ground from wide, but really wasn’t expecting that line up tonight. Valencia at right back again? Truth be told it did have a touch of brilliance to it, even though I did worry about that back four at Elland Rd! Still, the manager knows how to keep everybody ticking over while getting results. That goal by Giggs was something else. No complaints and good to see so many get a run out in a “big” game. Getting knocked out by West Ham 4-0 in the snow was a fucked up experience, absolutely gutted with that as it ended a lot of appearances for the youngsters, so hopefully the Squad can sort it out this year and have a real run in a real competition.

  358. What??? says:

    *That goal by Owen

  359. KR - Khalistan Red says:

    Hey hey – what a game!!!

    Impressed: Fryers, Fabio, Diouf, Cole plus experienced players Owen, Giggs, Valencia, Berba, Carrick

    More to come: Pogba, Machaeda – did not really think we saw them at their best, Pogba looked really nervous, seen him play better in the youth team and res, stage fright is understandable. However, even from watching him in reserves, the kid seems to have hit a wall for now.

    Park, battled away, seemed frustrated, some great break up play.

    Second half not as great to watch, a lot of keep ball at the back would have loved to see more attacking as Leeds were run off their legs at the end and the strikers could have filled their boots with a few good crosses in the box.

    Berba is clearly not a lead or in the box striker, however, the position he is best at is Rooney’s and I can’t see Rooney being shifted. However, on todays performance maybe a midfield option? Given time to play you see his all round ability.

  360. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Wee hours in the morning and i’m typing.

    Oh sexy Berbs. He plays anywhere. Love the man.

  361. King Eric says:

    Yeah Istanbul chants not good but those dirty cunts have been calling us Munichs for years. Our away support tonight was top drawer. Full repetoire of songs. That cunt Smith said you have to praise the home fans. Fuck off they were outsunng from first minute. Fuck the dirty cunts. Outplayed by a weird team selection too. Great performance.

  362. Saad says:

    Berbatov’s a van Gogh of a footballer and despite not getting much chances to start and score goals, he still puts the team first and is willing to play centre-back for the good of the team. I really really really really wish something big and wonderful happens for him in football.

  363. tom c says:

    well done lads :) pogba seems a tad nervous out there but it’s so justified, he’s young and is under so much pressure to perform, seeing how everyone’s hyping him up.. fryers looked pretty good though! carrick and valencia at the back.. genius.
