Owen will score a hattrick before that happens

Barce 0-1 City FT

We ended playing with Ben Haim, Garrido, Trippier, Etuhu, Weiss etc, whilst they had Messi, Ibrahimovic, Alves etc and yet we still won....was a piece of piss !

No hard feeling Puro bro, just a bit of delerious banter

No hard feelings at all, it's just you and your yellow teeth internet rambo stinking limey insular c**t after all, the one and only. Much love directed your way too.

it's our year

Imagine Michael owen getting in and watching MOTD last night - seeing his woeful performance under the watch of Capello followed by Defoe's hat-trick.

* @ Saints - was that a "soft" penalty that United got last night ?

I mean, Evra had already passed the ball into the middle and was no longer in control of the ball ?



David James

How could he argue against that decision

The Man. United squad does show signs of the Kleberson-Djemba years, when they went through a transition period with Ferguson buying loads of shite. But for me the major problem is Ferguson's team selections...he gets it wrong so often against smaller teams. Just can't read them correctly. It's happened in CL group games too.

Midfield of Park-Carrick-Anderson-Giggs? Why drop both Nani and Valencia...who's going to give Owen the service? Giggs is only good for cameos nowadays and Rooney can't create and stay up front as well.

Ferguson also needs to figure out just what he wants to do with Anderson, because it's been 2 seasons now and he still doesn't have a fixed position in the team. As for Park, I just don't see why people rate him...need somebody for a man-marking job? Sure, he might be your man. But need a proper winger who can create goals? No way.

Surprised more Man. Utd. fans aren't calling him out, instead of blaming just the players.

CONGRATULATIONS Despite this sentence being all over the place grammatically, at least you've finally come clean about your true insular, anti-English feelings.

I can only assume a yellow teethed limey c**t did your missus from behind whilst you were at work



This is why, despite what your mum may tell you, you really do know FUCK ALL about English football - your mind is already made up.

I'm still trying to find evidence of the mysterious "glaring miss" of Defoe's last night. In reality there wasn't one, you were just being yourself. Cheers bro

If there's one club that buys the longterm stability argument more than anyother it's Man Utd, they'd have to have a serious chance of finishing 5th before they'd even bother.

Why not? They aren't THAT good. A win against an out of form Liverpool, and a smashing of Hull! We played just as well as they did against Wolves. They are scoring goals but are conceding too. Our front line of Dyer, Jimenez and Cole was causing lots of problems. Cole is renound for playing up front on his own and that being one of his best positions. With Dyer and Jimenez to support everything went to plan at Molineux.

I'm not worried about playing them at all, at Upton Park. Will wack a nice some of money on us.

A daft penalty & a fluke of a free-kick.

Yep, we're porous.

You're right to play down our chances. It'll only make it all the more sweet when we win again at Upton Park for the 3rd season in a row

I think many people said these 4 were in crisis before the season begun, I know I did. Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd are considerably weaker than in previous seasons, Chelsea are an unknown quantity and will lose 4(?) first team regulars for a month. Sppppuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrs have the King/Woodgate factor, plus they STILL haven't signed a left winger.

Heard a rumour of Jenas/Bentley being sold to Villa to fund Brown and Petrov to Spurs. Imagine how good they'll be once they have a left winger to bring on in certain games in place of Modric

Let's not get ahead of ourseleves. This is Spurs.

Surely you can sense the tongue-in-cheek

Dirky Dirk scored his first goal already I see? Well done! Spurs did well again I see, 6 points in 2 games now eh?

Man Utd was a disgrace by the look of things!

From a Saints fan I think he has every right to protest it in fairness.

He's not looking at the player and is only looking up at the ball so theres no intent and according the laws of the game, ANY obstruction of the goalkeeper by an opposing player must result in a free kick for the defending team. I think it was just the fact that DJ is 6'5 and inevitably was going to land on top of Larsson and look like the agressor that swung it.

On the other hand James got the ball before the man and essentially took the player out and prevented a decent goalscoring opportunity. So I'd say the correct decision was made, I just don't think it was quite as clear cut as people might think.

David James is not a blind man. Even if he was looking up in the air he would still have known that Larsson was there. He knew what he was doing, but had assumed that all goalkeepers get the decisions when contact is made by them..he failed this time.

Steven Gerrard's turn to set him up was stunning

Glen Johnson - looked turd pre season, first two games and he already looks like the best winger to have played for Liverpool in decades.
