BPL Round 22: NUFC at Manyoo 12 Jan [R]

[tigerdave]

In case you all forgot, we have a game tomorrow. We get to go to Old Trafford without a manager. Joy. I'll let Dirt work his magic with the informational side of the matchday thread, I can't be bothered right now.

[BayernWake]

Of course, we'll win. Duh. Everything about this club defies logic.

Freaking 2-0 or something to the Toon. :rolleyes:

[JayRockers!]

36 years and 24 matches, longest current streak for any team without a win at Old Trafford. #25 will be the most ever for a team visiting the "Theatre of Dreams".

Unless we appoint Curbs coach in the next 24, I say it's an embarassing blowout.

Is Oba Martins available? He's listed at Paddy Power as an 11/1 favorite to score first for NUFC. There's also a bet that if he scores at all you get back any first goal/last goal wagers. I figured he'd be off to Africa by now.

Thx,

Jay!

I had heard Nigeria said we could keep him for the ManU game and then he will join up with his team.

Let's hope the post-sacking bump works out this time.

Either a horrible defeat (probable) or a suprise win (unlikely)

But it will be a nice send off before we wave goodbye to our club as 'arry takes over

[Crazy Man Michael]

I am wondering whether Pearson will be using Sam's approach and tactics for this game or whether he will let the players open it up a little. I think we do better with Sam's approach, at least for this week, since the players have been playing that way all season, but I don't have much hope either way. I am afraid this one could be ugly no matter what strategy is used.

Indeed!! someone buy this man a drink....

<sigh> but that not gonna happen.

CRonaldo to nail Carr's (or whatever warm body we put in for Beye) feet the touchline, do a zillion stepovers and score three :mad:

Tevez with four and Rooney with a boot to Cacapa's head.

[mn_toon]

Like the rest of you I really want to see Newcastle pull off the surprise win in this one. 2-1 would be nice. However, with the way ManU plays, I'll be happy if the squad holds ManU to under 3 goals.

Wake me when they sign a new manager. UGH! :p

Let's put David Edgar in to man mark CRonaldo. He is ********ing mint!

[Dirt McGirt]

Ronaldo is my fantasy captain this week. 3-1 to Red Devils.

[ToonUSA]

I'm gonna go to Yoga as opposed to watching the game live. I'll record it and wait until I'm in a relaxed state to watch this dribble. 4-1 Man United. (however, if we win I'll of course take credit for calling it)

[tigerdave]

No Oba. Links to follow, maybe.

[Shameus]

Nice, just what I wanted to see, Bambi and Duke leading the line. I have a feeling that this could get ugly.

I have thoughts on the matter but I'd better keep them to myself lest I get in trouble. I'll leave it at this: they promised he'd be available, but we should have seen this coming.

They probably think he will go to Italy and never come back.

Indeed!! someone buy this man a drink....Because....

DAVID EDGAR IS FOOKIN MINT!!!

Not sure which is funnier, you in a relaxed state of mind or that you do yoga to achieve it?

Do you fart just after you reach the Yoganidrasana?

A bright spot.

Nicky Butt has been officially credited with that goal against Chelski. Things are looking up.

Thx,

Relaxed is a relative term, I'm less fired up after would have been a better way to put it.

What would you rather do? Watch us get humped by a ginger who robs houses and a grease ball diving twat or look at fit women stretching in tight clothes?

Exactly.

And just moments into the game, in what is the first of I'm sure two-handsful of loose passes, bad positioning and ultimately a red card, Captain Alan Smith gives up on a pass that nearly leads to a Rooney goal.

Alan Smith is ********ing useless. He should have went with FSA.

Thx,

Jay!
