    he has been jammy at united, bringing on carrick had nothing to do with us scoring tonight.

    As I said, if you don't see why Carrick came on for Rojo thats your deal, I certainly won't be spoonfeeding you. I have explained things to you in the past only for you to completely ignore and not even refute points counter to your argument and continue to soapbox.

    Van Gaal being jammy and Van Gaal being a spoofer are two different things, you know that don't you? Tell me you at least know what the terms you use when slagging someone off mean at least?

    There is a sick part of me that loves these wins.

    Its hillarious in some ways. In a laughing and crying simultaneously kinda way.

    Are we even money now? Checked the weekend and pool were better then evens and we were still money on for top 4. Has it changed? If so, how given the results? Bit odd from the bookies but money to be made there certainly with some arbing surely

    Why did he bring carrick on?

    Let's sit you down and get to the bottom of this.

    Let's sit you down and get to the bottom of this.

    To put him up front and put Rooney at RB and I heard when he shook his fist in Giggs face it was his way of telling Giggs to strip off and warm up as his wildcard 4th sub.

    Dear God no, I would refer you to the first paragraph of my last response to you.



    Good interview from Van Gaal actually

    I suppose overall it was the most dominant performance I remember, course it was Newcastle. The cutting edge is all that was missing tonight, pretty big part of it naturally, but Krul did make a couple of good saves and Rooney should have had two.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 35,306 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    Well that was fun.

    Honestly, and I do not care what people say, I thought we were very solid again tonight.

    Yet again we pressed and our aggression was very neat and we got the ball back aplenty. We were very organised, played some neat football and imo deserved the 3 points .

    Di Maria had a mixed bag but he looks much better on the wing and once he gets a goal I think will play big part.

    The back four were very solid. Valencia I thought had one of his better games. His strength as a RB is severely underratted in here. I thought Blind and Herrera had good games again. Blind is still clumsy but on the ball he is solid. Herrera bar the incident that led to Newcastle's best chance played well.

    Fellaini though was super. Great strength and his passing was excellent. Really was pleased with him tonight. Rooney up to was also refreshing. Should of scored but least he is in his right position.

    The only downside for me is our chance creation should be little better and we are still a little slow and unbalanced when in opposition final third.

    But I have seen a decent improvement in last 2 games. We are much more working as a unite now and we just need work on a sharper final ball in the opposition third and we could be right.

    Also Kew has 100% (2\2) in opening match threads . I said I would deliver and I have ;)

    I doubt he was actually trying to give away a penalty. You don't either tbh

    He had a good game other then that, Evans had one or two dodgy moments but good overall also I suppose.

    I can't even celebrate that goal

    We are putrid, prolonging the inevitable, this team isn't getting champions league football
    I had to laugh at Van Gaal celebrating that goal, Giggs looked píssed and rightly so it's fcuking Newcastle we needed serious luck to scrape a win

    We're not getting top 4 are we?
    there would be a new river in Merseyside if we got top 4 playing the way we are but I honesty can't see us nicking results until the end of the season


    Seem relatively confident to me, make some money on it

    I basically meant once we brought him on, we scored. Like once he came back from injury earlier on in the season, we went on our winning run

    Even money on betfair more or less (20/21)

    @ rarnes, i get you now :)

    Liverpool had all the momentum last year and momentum is everything IMO and I was convinced they would win the league, but they didn't.

    Utd are still ahead of them. Playing quite poorly but still sitting in fourth two points ahead. Liverpool are on a brilliant run and seem to have really clicked into gear and objectively and calmly speaking you would make them favourites, especially with Utds run in but it's never really as simple as that in football is it. Points will be dropped when they weren't expected and gained where expected to be dropped.

    There's a long way to go. Despite some awful performances Utd are keeping the points total ticking over, something that is being under estimated.

    Carrick coming back is a huge plus. I trust him to protect the back four a lot more than Blind.

    We did more than enough to win that game tonight with the chances created, yes we are still lacking fluditity but the performances was definetly one of our better away from home.

    Felainni plays for 80 mins no hoofball at all during the game, no real outstanding performance for any one player.

    Falcao had been bad enough all season and people want to bring him on and totally change the shape the team had been playing for 80 mins.

    Good interview on off the ball with Andy (something) write for some man u magazine saying there isnt much to any discontent behind scenes a major change to last season.

    And LVG is maticulous saying the players have to take in more info that ever had before, which has maybe been the reason why we lack fludiidity, good news for me cause when that info becomes 2nd nature to the players we could be some beast.


    I'd read nothing into the giggs thing looks like Van Galls way, when he is happy with you he hugs you, when he said he told you so puts his fist up just a touchy feely person, that or Giggs wants the united job or Louis missus turned him down.:pac:

    Didn't even know you could bet on not getting top 4, thought you were suggesting betting on United to get top 4
