Come back to me when Robben equals Rooney's hat trick against Fenerbahce. Of course, he might eventually. But by then Rooney will have done something even more sensational, I'm sure... *gets misty-eyed at the sudden thought that United could have had Robben, Rooney, and Ronaldo*
Why the tears. We don't need Robben. In fact, I would argue that had we landed Robben we may have not been able to move for ROoney.
Sounds like this could've been much worse, we're it not for Keller making some great saves. Good to keep this nice run of form going.
Errm...left wing *is* our 2nd biggest problem, you know. And Robben is a very good, young left winger after all.
Terrible performance from Southampton, simply awful. Good play and win from United. Just too take ya down a bit, good win and all as it was, we increased our goal difference over you. Shaping up too be a good run for the title.
With us finally rounding into some good form and Fergie coming out and challenging the team to put soem pressure on Chelsea, it certainly is going to be an interesting run through the rest of the season.
Win yes and collect our three points. We needed them as we always do. But we were far from convincing. Yes we dominated them. Southampton came out and mailed it in today except for Higginbotham and Keller. We should have destroyed them for showing up with that attitude. We should and could have beaten them 15 nil. We must have had a clear 30-40 scoring opportunities and only cashed in 3. If all we can do is three againt pourous defences like these what will happen when we run into rock solid outfits? Good to see Ronaldo finally get one.
yeah he's not what everyone thinks he is... He played pretty badly today. Other then his goal he wasn't able to get up that left wing without someone taking the ball away from him. For his goal he had space...
Good win today, it's good to see us maintain our form. As for Keller, he did a nice job and is "in the shop window". Who out there would need a veteran keeper? One American GK in the squad is enough, don't think he's the answer for us.
Poor Keller. He's in the odd position of being drastically underrated in the UK and drastically underrated in the US. IMHO, Keller could probably start for at least half a dozen EPL teams. Yet in reality, he most certainly has declined from being one of the truly elite keepers. And was not "screwed" out of his position at Tottenham. Keller will find a good position - but the varying assessments of his ability are immense.
Unbelieeeeevable. Oh, wait - you're a Portugal fan, so every time Robben looks good it hurts because he's compared to Ronaldo. Geeez.
I'm Portuguese, but even I, acknowledge the superb talent of Robben. He doesn't have Cristiano Ronaldo's speed, but he's very allusive and has a deft touch around goal. Cristiano Ronaldo, Robben, and Rooney, and possibly Robinho...are undoubtedly the world's best young players. It's too early to tell who will be the best or who at this point, is the best, but in my mind, these four will emerge as frontrunners for Player of the year honours in the very near future.
Yes you did and what a way you lot did it too. You are given the gift of a penalty at 90 minutes. Mourinho orders for Kezman to take the penalty. Does Mourinho get a bonus for every goal he scores. Then he chips its over Given like a schoolgirl. Nice shot!. No respect to the keeper. You get a gift of a goal like that you should step up and drill it into the net. But no, you have to show up the keeper. Its amazing none of the Newcastle players didnt piledrive the little snot into the ground for that. But thats what has become of Newcastle. No heart, no pride. A defeated side, they couldnt wait to exchange shirts and head for the bus. Enjoy the trip to Portugal and enjoy the Karma.
I noticed this thing about Ronaldo against Southampton: He didn't dive, and he was always looking to pass the ball. I think the Gods smiled down on him and that's the reason he finally got his goal today. I hope somebody points that out to him.
Yea too many paychecks and sicknotes. Good penalty by the garden gnome lol newcastle are CRAAAAAAAAAP.
I don't have a problem saying if he played well or not... but today he was covered all until you guys started scoring. Everytime he got it, he lost it... He played well in his first games... but I think that if he's well covered... hmmm kind of like vs Portugal he can't do much. He played very well I even have him in my pool...the guy scores. But... I don't think he's going to play the way he did at the beginning of the season all season... becuase as soon as people start covering his ass, he's going to have a lot more trouble.
