Am I the only one that found it funny as Hell that SAF Made Ferdinand come off the ground at the end and made us play with 10 men optionaly
Nope... So here's a question...should I bother reading thru the 2 match thread even though I've a good idea what to expect...screw that, I'm just getting home from the celebrations, and as mht suggested, it is past my bedtime...
Exactly, I was also shocked. VDS 7 Heinze 7 Rio 8 Brown 7.5 O'Shea 7 Giggs 9 Fletch 9.5 Carrick 8 Ronaldo 8.5 Rooney 8 Smith 7.5
What a night. Know am abit late but who cares. Starry starry night. Starry, starry night. Paint the future red and white.... Look out on a summer's night With eyes that know theyre doing everything right Romans on the hill Scatching their heads and wondering still Just what the devil it was they had to do CHORUS: Now they understand What was always on his mind How he loves to make them whine How he wants to tease Totti, he couldnt play, he did not know how Perhaps he never will Starry, starry night Ron and Roon provide the glow Running rings in that evening show There's pride in Fergie's eyes of Scottish hue Three goals up....then four Roma's burning, man, theyre sore Tired eyes look to the heavens Oh, my gosh! So soon its seven! CHORUS: Fergie didnt love them That much we all now know For when he had them on their backs, on that starry, starry night He said 'hit them hard, like Devils always do' You didnt need to, Ferguson Man U were always doign it for you Starry starry night... Romas hanging in the hall Shameless heads all line the walls All empty eyes that cant and wont forget Totti, Rossi, Manchini They crossed the pond with hopes and dreams Now crushed and broken far away from home Now i think they know Perhaps, they never will
The passing on the 2nd and 3rd goals was simply amazing. People love to dismiss the direct attack play of English football but you saw it in all of its glory in the first 20 minutes of that match. When Giggs set up Rooney for his goal and turned to look at the crowd with his arms raised as if to say, "WHO'S RUNNING THIS SH!T?!?!?!" was brilliant. [youtube]QGNI2ux4Y2A[/youtube]
Great performance and even better 8 of the starting 11 were British, unlike Chelsea who had 3. Smith and Fletcher were phenominal at chasing the ball down and just their overall work. Smith should start every game from now 'til the end of the season. In my opinion he should have started against Portsmouth. He's always looked sharp when he has come on for us in the past few weeks. Anyway, Bayern or AC Milan..I'd prefer Bayern but bring them both on!
Would anyone be willing to help me out with getting a quality DVD copy of this match? I'd download it off a torrent, but this school is incredibly strict with their internet. I'd be willing to pay for the cost of the DVD, shipping, and materials, plus a small bit for the trouble. Just PM me if you'd be willing to help. Also, it would be probably be convenient if the person could be from the Isles, to cut down on shipping costs and time.
The Current Torrent I've seen is a lower Quality Version of what was shown on my Australian TV. So I think you might wait a bit. I'd love DVD quality too.
I will do it for you mate, just pay the shipping Ill do anything for a Manchester United brother. Ill say there should be a good copy by the weekend.
My husband always makes fun of Giggs, calls him the Opa (old man) and for some reason loves to point out his every error. Yesterday, he was jumping up and down on the couch, screaming about the brilliant Opa and celebrating his every bit of awesomeness. I told you so, you silly man. It was a beautiful game. I'm incredibly happy for Smith; I thought he proved his place as a starter. Huge game for both Carrick and Fletcher in terms of confidence and showing their worth in a Scholes-less midfield. Rio and Brown were magnificent; Oshea didn't screw anything up; Heinze was back to fierceness and tenacity; Ronaldo was his usual brillant self. Rooney didn't seem plagued by the lack of goals as usual; he slotted his in with utter confidence. Did I already say it was beautiful? Because it was. Beautiful.
Apparently Totti had said before this match that it was more important than the World Cup Final. Just for those of you who keep posting pictures of him and that trophy. At least Totti understands club>>>country.
^^^ especially for totti, as he loves his club even more than most other players, and seems to be indifferent, at best, towards the azzurri.
Yeah, I do admire Totti and De Rossi for their devotion to their club. Those players are probably going to spend their entire careers there.
Pity they wont win anything then. Smudge's Chances of winning anything were saved by leeds being relegated.
ehh, it makes for totti the occasional hardware all the more sweet, I guess, like the scudetto in 2001. De rossi, though, I'm still not sure he will stay with roma always, just a feeling I get.
I didn't want to read the previous thousand pages of this thread, does anyone know where I could find video highlights of this game? I meant to record it yesterday but forgot. My firewall here doesn't let me see youtube.
