FA Cup Quarter-Final

Controversy wrote:Exact reason why the Mancs won't win in Europe.

Attacking overload simply does not work if the team your playing against can actually create chances/score them.

We've got one of the best defensive records in the Champions league this season.

How are the two even comparable?

Took AK Alkmaar to the cleaners on Thurs though. He was brilliant. On his day a grand player, but hugely inconsistent

His one really good game for us to be honest, he'll have to do more than that to keep Zoggy out of the team.

And yes Bramble is hugely overrated but only by Newcastle fans and Joe Royal. I post on nufc online and you can't criticize him without someone jumping down your throat, same with Butt. But people unfairly criticize Parker, Taylor, Milner, and Dyer all the time, even though they're the backbone of our team.

@Kimbo,

ricketts won 1 cap whilst playing for Bolton. Phillips a couple playing for Sunderland. Downing has been in the squad playing for Boro.

In the under 21's Taylor, Milner, Nugent, Richards, Carson amongst others all play at northern clubs.

Your theory only works because you selectively ignore these facts.

Lennon will never impress you because you are clearly sore that he's better than N'Zogbia

So your a fan of 4-5-1 in Europe?

No, but what does that prove.

This is the FA cup.

Ricketts more than earnt it to be fair, same with Phillips, he was a class player. I'd say Downing has earnt it aswell although he was fast track because of a need for a left footed player.

The U21s is different as it doesn't have all the newspaper hype surrounding it, the manager could select a player from a league 2 northern side and no one would care.

I've proved my theory time and time again.

fucks sake another soft pen for united.

Get in!

I'd like to see someone make a case for that not being a penalty.

if you have proved your theory then how come Michael Dawson hasn't yet recieved a much deserved England Cap and gets less praise on channel 5 than Bramble

You are fucking kidding.

Is handball not a penalty anymore?

Damnit.....


Come on Boro, don't give up!

Kuzy's kicking is dreadful.

Konchesky won his England cap playing a friendly because at the time there was a dearth of decent english left backs, and because Cole and Bridge were injured if I remember.

Anton is well known because he is rio's brother which is natural

Dawson was recieving plenty of media attention even when he was at Forest- his first call up to the England squad was when he was playing for them. Forest arent a southern team.

Lennon recieves media attention because he is an exciting attacking player and not a defender. These types of players, especially english ones, get more attention. Plus everyone bar you can see he is class.

Anymore examples that I can take apart?

You haven't taken them apart, you've just disagreed. And Dawson was only called up to a training camp while with forrest, not the actual squad. That sort of thing happens all the time.

And not everyone thinks Lennon is class, i know several people that think he's way overrated.

Heinze for the Oscars

Quandary for Ferguson - attack and risk losing the match in an attempt to win it, or continue with a balanced formation and end up with a 2-2 and a replay?

Replay's not good for Man Ure.

Argh that was close! Come on Smoggies!

No shit, Sherlock.

Woodgate is class, great defender.
