Manchester United Thread

A Chelsea fan sticking up for a Man U fan? How unusual. Anyway, RVN's goal at Highbury last season was down the left side but he only beat one player.

Henry scored a few headers last season and is actually very good in the air. Its a popular misconception that he is crap in the air.

My opinion ain't biased mate, I accept RVN is a class player, all I said was that I wouldn't swap Henry for anyone. I would assume you would say the same about Mutu or Crespo.

No.....I wouldn't say the same. You and the mancs are both one eyed so I take anything you say with a pinch of salt. And that includes Henry's apparent prowess in the air.
 
Dunno about crossing as he's a centre forward, but I've seen him go down the wing, beat two players and score......it was at Highbury a few months back.

I forgot about that one mate! Quality. :mrgreen:
As for Henry being crap in the air, couldn`t agree more. But most good players HAVE to have a bad area in their game.

As for Mancs being one-eyed, we aren`t all the same, read my posts in the Chelsea thread, I showed my respect to you guys.

Here Ninja, you ducked my questions from my earlier post.
 
When was the last time RVN scored from a direct from a freekick?

This question Butatista? Ruud is not a free-kick taker, we have the variety of Giggs, Ronaldo, Silvestre can hit them, even Forlan. But yes, Henry is a quality set-piece taker, and we DO miss Beckhams free-kicks, I don`t care what any United fan says.

Changing the subject guys, we have BIG interest in signing Van Der Vaart. What does everyone think?

I agree he is quality. We need him to replace Dennis Bergkamp. Probably can't afford in though..... :(

As opposed to the die-hards creating nothing but silence at the library?

Hehe your funny mate. There was plenty of noise when we beat you 2-1 last month!!

30 seconds spells after you score a goal doesn't really count, mate.
 
Were you at the game mate??? What about the 5 minute rendition from the Clock End Gooners (of which I am one) of "You won the league, in black and white!"
 
No, fortunately..... My last visit to your hole was the 2-2 FA Cup game.

Staying on topic, I hope Man Utd win the league this year. ;)

Thanks mate, but why would a Chelsea fan want us to win the league again? You are in the running!
 
Hutch, what happened to the "Club we support" option on the left of the screen?

I can`t tell who-supports-who at the moment.

Nah, not this year. Next year maybe - although your squad looks pretty threadbare at the minute, I think Fergie will have the cheque book out in January to replace P Neville.
 
We arent looking threadbare to be honest. We've got a heap of midfielders, not as many as you like, but a lot. We're short at the back. Apart from Wes Brown we havent really got any proper cover and we've resorted to playing Quinton at the back.

Thats so lame, call yourself a fan. I can't believe what you said. I case you forgot, you said "I hope Man U win the league". Unbelievable. What about some faith in your own side?
 
Yeah, Lampard and Gerrard are quality - they are both playing superbly at the moment.

Hutch - Fortune does a fine job at left-back.

We won't win it, so I hope they do. Get over it. ;)

Yeah, I'm not saying he isnt doing well there. Its just that playing midfielders at the back shows that we are low in numbers there.
