    David Moyes would have been proud of that.

    Friendly advice: when you've received two cards for trolling within a short time, a time which encompasses a probation period in it, entering a United thread (as a Pool fan) and invoking Moyes' spirit can very easily be seen as another attempt to wind United fans up. There's a line and fair enough if you are only attempting to discuss something, however the line is closer than you realise right now, so tread carefully. This is a final warning.

    God why do the reply to him. Do you not realise the SF will weed these kind posters out in time

    This really isn't helpful either. While the sentiment is one I echo (if you do believe someone is trolling, report and ignore), it is against the charter for users to accuse other users of trolling, or implying anything similar. "Why do people reply to him" is the exact same as replying to him.

    I realise tensions are a bit high after the game yesterday, so I'm giving the warning to both sides and keeping the cards in pocket. But they are peaking their heads out and the fingers are reaching for them.

    Juan Cuadrado was very happy for his fellow Colombian. Rumours are we will make a bid for Juan in January.

    Would like some truth to these rumors.

    If Rooney is to spend more time in the CM position pinging balls to the sidelines, I'd really like us to have a winger capable of doing something with them.

    I feel that when everyone is fit, it appears that Falcao and RVP will be favoured in the striker roles, Mata in the CAM and Rooney in the midfield. If that's the case, we need better wing support to pump the balls back in that Rooney pumps out.

    Oh TSC I really hope Rooney being CM isn't the future, I hope you're wrong!

    Good call ref. At 9:00 am it's too early in the game to be brandishing cards. Gotta give yourself wiggle room for later in the day when the tackles really start flying in. :P

    The Mirror saying TC23 will sign a permanent deal at Villa for a £7.5 million fee.

    As if Woodward cares. He'd sell snow to Eskimos :P

    I seem to recall something a while back about villa paying to keep him in January rather than wait. Some kind of gentlemans agreement between the clubs. Somebody else might remember better than me.

    If these Bale rumours prove to be right, where would he fit in? having him on the left means moving ADM into the middle so I'd see that, especially if we persist with playing someone behind 2 strikers, leaving us very vulnerable in the middle.
    I rate Bale very highly, but having ADM means we don't 'really' need him. If you could have one on each side, then that'd be a different matter.
    If we do sign him, it'll probably mean the end of Mata and signing Falcao.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 655 ✭✭✭marvsins


    Tiote just got a yellow and will now miss the Utd game. Every little helps :)

    It's always a nightmare trying to find a pub with the games on though, we have a local that will show them through a foreign satellite but just be aware that it won't be on everywhere

    Though we should be in the CL, longer in the league cup, the Fa cup and going for the Premier League title, I think having quality to replace quality or simply to rest a player, there is room for everyone.

    We have seen it this year with injuries.

    Is it? I thought usually all the 3pm games are on blackout on St Stephens day? If it is then that's grand

    Fellaini proved his worth so much yesterday without playing, we missed his strength so much.

    What ye missed yesterday was a type of creative player who could cut open the Villa defence by playing in a killer pass. Rooney and Mata were unable to do this and Fellaini ain't that type of player. UTD were not out muscled although Delph did get on a lot of ball. UTD simply need to create more chances, they weren't afforded the luxury of space yesterday that Liverpool allowed them last week

    Yeah meant UK British stations

    Well, shít. An Arsenal win is the worst possible result.

    Fúcking Liverpool, 1-0 up at home and they still can't get a decent result.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,741 ✭✭✭Hococop


    Good result for us


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,885 ✭✭✭SherlockWatson


    Great entertainment as well.
