That was back on June 21 though, so I'm not sure about any other changes taking place....

this is where i got it from, aswell as the boss saying we are only playing Royal Antwerp when we come back before the CL game.

 

I don't know, we don't look that bad.

 

Game finishes 5-1 to United. A good exercise.

Rooney and Scholes looked razor sharp. Ruud still looked a bit rusty but scored 2 and the second was more like his usual self.

 

i was dissapointed to see Park on the right, but thats probably due to Ronaldo been injured and Rossi playing, he done some decent pressing and played his part in klebersons goal, won us quite a few throw-ins too, if he had stayed on im sure he would of done better as theres players gave everything to keep the score as low as possible and got tired in the 2nd half.

 

Kleberson and Miller scored? Wow, times are a changin'.

 

Song for RIO today


"sign the deeeeaaaal you greedy twat" AND "100grand, yae avin a laugh, 100gran ye avin a laugh "

Top class

i hope that greedy twat got the message ..sign the deal or fu**ck off

 

So I take it Howard did not do well, how long did he play and what was the mistake like?

On another note, looks like things are looking forward for this upcoming year.. hopefully these young players keep improving and Ruud gets back in form.

 

howard 45 mins .... he played alright ...the goal was not his on him

 

Here are the Man Utd goals from today's game:

Kleberson 1-0

Scholes 2-0

Van Nistelrooy PK 3-1

Miller 4-1

Van Nistelrooy 5-1

 

Yeah, that plus Saha playing an ENTIRE 45mins had me thinking this was some kind of joke.

 

Was this a preview of what our formation for next season our going to be like? (4-1-2-2-1)

Code:

                                              Van der Sar

G. Neville/Brown       Brown/Rio            Silvestre/Pique       Heinze/O'Shea/Richardson?

                                         Keane/Miller/Jones/P.Neville

                         Fletcher/Kleberson                Scholes/Smith/Fortune

 Ronaldo/Park/Smith                                                               Giggs/Rossi/Rooney

                                              Ruud/Saha/Rooney

 

I tried for the green but must still give it time!

Good stuff! I'll get to watch the game tonight. Jones went in with the first group, a great sign!

 

i thought the 2nd half team was stronger, maybe not in defense but certainly in attack and midfield (except Miller), it would of made the debuts of Van Der Sar and Park look better if they played with the 2nd team.

 

Good to see the team scoring, and some interesting players got them - sure it's only Clyde, but goals is goals and this is astep in the right direction, at least. Ruud's two shows that he might be getting back to his best, although he did miss a few as well (fingers X'ed); Scholes' goal shows that he can still put them in from midfield; Miller's one at least gives us some hope for him - he'll probably never cut it, but it's not like players haven't taken a season to acclimatise before... and Kleberson's shows that he can be useful to the team, when his nails are correctly filed and not broken.

I'm still dying for us to offload 2 or 3 squaddies though, because as long as they arer there, Fergie is not going to give the lieks of Jones, Richardson, etc their deserved time (Rossi isn't ready for more than 5-8, 20-30 minute appearances next season though, imho - he's just too small still).
