The Telegraph writes in full praise of Dimitar Berbatov.
Liverpool Kop reckons stats prove Torres is better than Rooney. Just like stats proved Berbatov was the best player on the park last night… oh, no wait…
Rossobianchi talks about Giggs’ knighthood.

got any links for the reserves goals please scott

Stats like that are so meaningless. Why pick only 2 stats out of the tons that are recorded, such as short passing / mid passing / long passing + successrates, shooting from varied distances, running, tackling, fouls, assists, etc.
Even then, stats will never record what players are doing off the ball or what decisions they make!
Silly scouser’s trying to justify anything these days..
Interesting argument made by LiverpoolKop.
Using their logic: Kuyt’s 4 goals and 2 assists from 725mins on the pitch, vs. Gerrard’s 3 goals and 3 assists from 800mins on the pitch this season = Stevie GBH is less effective than a bag of shit water carrier.
Good article on Berba. Maybe people are finally realising what a shit hot talent the bloke really is. He was a joy to watch last night.

Those stats are unfair because ROONEY played on our left wing for most of 2008/2009 season … whereas Torres was always the scousers out and out striker!!
but let them enjoy their stats … in the end we will be lifting trophies which is more important

for the United reserves vs sunderland reserves,
eikrem and king ‘s 2 goals a piece…there’s one more vid which is by the same user that has kings second.
I might get slaughtered for this…. but,
I think la Nina is the better striker, maybe the best in the world right now. BUT I think Rooney is the better all around footballer. Wayne could play at left back and be terrific. And we know he could play keeper.
Wazza might miss the game against the dippers
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11945_5599585,00.html
ROONEY IS THE BEST OF THE TWO!! I wonder if torres was played on the left wing if he could be effective as wazza. Torres is their most depedant player thats why all their balls are played to him unlike rooney at united.
Torres is a better striker then Rooney and I am not ashamed to say it but Rooney brings more to our team then Torres does to theirs.
It’s why we are champions
It really amazing the abuse Jamie Kanwar gets from his own supporters, just have a look at his ‘ban list’, One guy had a username ‘JKASS’ n got banned. LMAO.

@andsolskjærhaswonit…
Good morning.long time since you have posted a comment.
as for torres he maybe a better striker in terms of goals but rooney is a better overall player because he adds a lot more to the team than what torre does and has lot of strength unlike miss torres who goes down even when a mosquito touches him.
@Jack
I cant believe this
thank you so much for that update
loving the support from you’s
WOW, how are these kids playing
Gotta hate tiny tears,
you have the most adorable daughter! I can’t believe they make United clothes that little, so cute!! What accent is that you have?
ghtt
good morning.
congrats .you must be feeling so proud.Emily is doing a great job.keep those chants coming does she actually watch the match for 90 mins with you. i know she is only 3 but just asking??
Jessie
Emily is dublin born republik of mancunian raised
and the first thing emily ever wore was a manchester united baby grow
A.I.G.
she watchs the matches as much as a 3 year old can for 90 mins
she sits up beside me watches them sings songs related to the names been said on the screen
she usually does jigsaws and stuff infront of the chair
and also just shouts
come on rooney ….score
thats a new one
.
ghtt
wow mate.thats brilliant.she has unbelievable knowledge for a 3 year old.sure she will become as big a supporter as you are in the future.
Morning AIG. Cheers man.
Play Torres at Left Back and see what impact he has on the pitch. As many have said before Rooney played most of his trade in the left wing whilst the ladyboy was an out n out striker for the dippers so comparing there goals n assists is completely daft, plus Rooney doesn’t roll around like a pussy at every single touch.
Torres is a better finisher than Rooney. Period.
But when we talk about the overall play, then as Tony Pulis will say ‘Rooney is better than Torres by a country mile’
btw, sorry for the multiple posts.
Emily is a LEGEND.
@andsolskjærhaswonit…
absolutely.
Rooney is more of a team player and even if Fergie tells him to stay upfront he will still roam all over the pitch.the guy just loves the club.whnever we get a corner and vida and rio are in the box rooney always stays outside the box to try and repel the counter attack and ensure he we keep possession when he does not have to do that.we are very lucky to have someone like rooney and he is 2 years younger than Torres.
shnuu
yeah i know, i posted that one
totally agree with the unfair comparison as to where Rooney was played most of last season.. look at his assists!
let them enjoy reading those stats on paper, cos we’ll be enjoying reading the papers headlining man utd as champions once again ;o)
Reading into just goals and assists misses a lot of creative impact to goals. Look at Berbatov’s (and rooney’s) parts in Carrick’s goal the other day, but apparently that counts for nothing in these stats. The same for fletcher’s great pass to Giggs for Berba’s goal against Stoke.
