Maybe if Evra spent a bit less time playing football 10-pin and more time working on his defensive positioning... Just saying.

Well, Evra doesn't often get the credit he deserves does he? He's been running back and forth, week in week out, rarely gets replaced and yet he's still our most consistent player.

@Kei

Not exactly competition for places at LB is there?

And he hasn't been consistent. He's been all over the place in our last few games.

@Kanchelskis For a single game can not judge him and the entire defense. You learn from mistakes, nobody's perfect.

Nice to see the piss taking, familiarity and camraderie between the lads. Evra has great skill - that 2 pin ball shot - and I love that he clearly loves being at United and has read alot of the clubs books and history ! I guess De Gea was holy engaged eating donuts at this point. Sorry, glaze over that.

@ kanchelskis - I think Evra is getting back to his best and that once the back four is more settled that will show. He also has nice biceps.

very true indeed, kanchelskis. So sad that he's slipping furher away from the worlds greatest left back. Continues to make sloppy defending and I honestly think that he was more dangerous going forward a few seasons ago. I'd like him to stay out wide more often rather than going just outside the box to deliver the cross or even go for a deep run. He needs to step it up so I can laugh my ass of watching replays of Clichy's defending again... (Yes, Clichy is still a horrible left-back, Good signing Shitty).

NBI its a game I wanna forget. So I think Scott wont bother to write one. What I really wanna know about is De Gea's doughnut case, was that true ? I think its the English media blowing things out of proportion again!

Dragonslayer, it might've been a case of mistake. The lad barely speaks English and all. So fuck off where you came from. Thank you and don't come again.

Lol at Lindergaard bouncing the ball off Young's head. Haha, love em all. The lads have great team spirit and camaraderie. And that's why Manchester's always United.

He saw Fletch as the man of respect of them. Nice Scotland's Captain as well as Paddy former French Captain and Berba Captained his nation as well.

NBI great read about the Barca press to get the ball in the upper third.

With Sir Alex Ferguson guiding it all, Rooney knows anything is possible.

Asked what three words summed up the boss, he said: "Winner, desire and fearsome."

If a team takes on the personality of the Gaffer, “Winner, desire and fearsome.”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a team.
What a club.
What a Gaffer.
I love this thing, what is it? I have a Red Mist for the Reds? A love that I now when blessed with another morning I have Man Utd to root for and see 60 games a year and pre-season as well.
GAME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN WE WAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Evra would have been poor in defense for only a game I wouldn't bother, but he's struggling over a year now.

Someone should tell crackhead that he should only speak when he's lucid:

Good Morning ROM!

Brilliant Phil Jones interview with Mark Ogden.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/8799563/Manchester-Uniteds-Phil-Jones-its-flattered-to-be-compared-with-Duncan-Edwards.html

He really does seem the United type doesn't he. Mature, level-headed, seems to put family first (the foremost quality that Sir Alex prizes in his players), doesn't get carried away and knows what he is capable of as a footballer. He is going to be a rare gem in modern football, I think, and that too with us.

I would love to sit down and have a chat with either Berbie or Paddy, top lads with personality. They look like jokers. Berba epitomises the definition of CoooL.
