Totti Italy? blegh. Totti Roma? A+++++

12/27/2006 7:31:06 PM

haha i didn't ask for it...uncle picked it up for me when he was in italy

1. ok , so everyones talking about how Hargreaves will be "the perfect buy" for Utd. While i am a big Hargreaves fan and a bigger Utd fan, im not so sure its the best buy during the january window. After dishing out 17 mil on MC (rushed and idiotic, but oh well!!), is a huge money buy for someone in the same position really worth it? with alan smith coming back theres alwaysa backup option for carrick (though its not a natural one). What do you guys think?


2. I couldnt be happier that utd sit at the top of the league. However, I want to see the race go down to the wire and thats not going to happen unless chelsea make some defensive purchases. Surely Roman and the the self-proclaimed "great one" realize that unless they bring a quality centre-half in during january, the race will be over before they can say "wtf?" who would you bring in if you were them?

^^ Yeah, with Terry being out for a few weeks, I can see them imploding. I don't want it to go down to the wire, I want it to be an out-and-out drubbing where United destroys the league and leaves Chelski in the dust.

I don't think Carrick was a waste of 18 million quid, either. People forget that Carrick is meant to be Paul Scholes' long term successor, not Keano's. Hargreaves will play the Keane role in the United midfield of the future, and it's looking more and more like he wont come until the summer. He's still recovering from that broken leg and being tossed into the EPL mix probably wouldn't be the best for his recovery.


and Smith in the midfield is a disaster. he's got heart, but he doesn't have the skill. He's Rooney's natural backup in the second striker position. Wayne would actually make a better holding midfielder than most of the ones starting in the EPL, imo.

GLORY GLORY MANUTD!!! too close for comfort thought, some slack defending toward the end. Fuck chelsea, like i said, they need a defensive purchase otherwise they can give up the chase right now!!

12/30/2006 1:26:58 PM

Ronaldo - Player of the Year


if he doesn't get it, the world should implode

12/30/2006 6:58:24 PM

If Chelsea somehow makes a comeback in the tables, you have to give it to Drogba

12/30/2006 8:21:34 PM

Becks to Pool?

I'm disappointed dempsey didn't make his debut today

1/13/2007 9:34:39 PM

he's probably not in shape


or, at least, he's in shape to play in america, but not the EPL

1/15/2007 7:24:43 AM

Dong Fangzhou gets the all clear!!!!

1/17/2007 3:17:03 PM

1/18/2007 10:47:54 AM

Henry's goal v Blackburn on sunday was kinda rediculous, too.

1/18/2007 11:27:49 AM

1/21/2007 12:57:47 PM

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!! Can't believe that just happened. I was the only United fan amongst the 9 of us, so im hearing a lot of smack right now!! oh well, least this makes for a tighter end to the season.

1/21/2007 1:28:14 PM

It was those fucking blue jerseys.

1/21/2007 1:57:26 PM

HAHAHA...

1/21/2007 2:02:13 PM

LOL

we're forced to live in the moment.

So for today, Fuck Man U.

And frankly, I don't give a shit if any of my teams won the champions league, premiership title, or the FA cup so long as we had that greasy, cheating, whiny bastard on our roster.

1/21/2007 2:11:43 PM

Where was Scholes today? He didn't do a damn thing

1/21/2007 3:19:50 PM

^I dunno, and I'm not sure was an in-form Saha was on the subs bench instead of starting


really curious formation today

[Edited on January 21, 2007 at 4:15 PM. Reason : also, those blue kits are a curse and an abomination]

1/21/2007 4:15:29 PM

here's to hoping liverpool and arsenal can pass chelsea

1/21/2007 5:03:35 PM

Just in that van Persie broke his 5th metatarsal in the game yesterday. Was it worth it, Wenger?

Quote :

"Chelsea Sets Its Sights on Olney's Onyewu, Who Played on U.S. World Cup Team Tuesday, January 23, 2007; Page E02 Oguchi Onyewu could be heading to Chelsea of the English Premier League. The two-time defending league champion is looking to sign the 24-year-old from Olney during the January transfer window. Onyewu (Sherwood High), a member of last year's U.S. World Cup team, has been with Belgium's Standard Liege since the 2004-05 season, and British media reported yesterday that the 6-foot-4 defender could cost Chelsea $3.95 million. "There is truth in regard to Chelsea," said Onyewu's agent, Will Sherling. Chelsea, in second place and six points behind Manchester United, has struggled defensively in recent games. French champion Lyon also has been in discussions with Onyewu, who recently turned down an offer from Fulham. Lyon wants "to do the deal, but they want him to stay at Liege until the end of the summer," Sherling said. Onyewu had been set to join fellow Americans Brian McBride, Carlos Bocanegra and Clint Dempsey at Fulham earlier this month in a $1.96 million transfer, but Sherling said Onyewu opted not to go. Whether Onyewu joins Chelsea may depend on the amount of playing time he can expect. He turned down a move to Real Madrid earlier this season. "The best club for him is one that will develop his profile as a player," Sherling said. "He doesn't need to get tangled up in which club is bigger than the next.""

1/28/2007 2:20:23 AM

i hate chelsea, but id still love for him to endure the pace and skill of the premiership, it would def help the US in the back for future international games


on another note, Rooney's chip in the FA cup made sportscenters Top 10 plays today

1/28/2007 2:23:45 AM

So Ronaldo to Milan and Onyewu to Toon, interesting. Thought Sir Alex would sign someone, like a surprise to all of us, but i guess we are gonna have to wait till the summer.

1/30/2007 12:36:07 PM

yes! to Ronaldo...lets hear it for an all milan champions league final

^not sure but i dont think that is possible this year

1/30/2007 3:19:14 PM

^^ He did. Henki.


Now if the linesmen knew their assfrom their elbow, he'd be on pace to best all of the other Man U strikers in the home stretch

[Edited on January 30, 2007 at 7:02 PM. Reason : xc]

1/30/2007 7:02:43 PM

^^ why not?

1/30/2007 9:13:23 PM

off topic but when did Petr Cech start playing again? I thought his ass was done for a long time.

1/30/2007 9:21:38 PM

just got back...he was out from october until just over a week ago

1/30/2007 9:57:52 PM

^^^^ Don't get me wrong, Larsson is quality, but thats not gonna win us the champions leage. We needed a defensive midfield player and that didn't happen.

1/31/2007 3:15:59 PM

ashley cole just stretchered off

1/31/2007 4:04:52 PM
