Man Utd needs a central midfielder hardcore.

Man Utd just needs less injuries, then this wouldn't have happened and the title would again be ours. We still have a shot now, even without transfers.

yes the less injuries part is correct.

You cannot make up excuses for such a poor results. Man Utd's starting eleven were still (on paper) a much better team than Blackburn. And Blackburn have been really poor under Kean.

If we need to put Rafael (RB) as a CM, you know this isn't just a reserves squad, this is a last resort. Of course we need to put him CM because we didn't buy a CM earlier this year, that's true. A CM would have been very welcome (and still is), but hey, who am I opposed to SAF? He knows better, I'm sure of it. Whatever he decides, is correct.

here's the squad that faced Blackburn.

• 01 De Gea
• 03 Evra
• 04 Jones
• 21 Rafael (Keane 85)
• 13 Park Ji-sung
• 16 Carrickyellow card
• 17 Naniyellow card
• 25 Valencia
• 09 Berbatov
• 14 Hernandez (Anderson 46)
• 19 Welbeck

Off the top of my head there's nine internationals and at a combined cost of roughly over £100 million give or take. They may be a last resort team but it's team which is better than Blackburn Rovers who are firstly an average team under a poor manager and secondly had several first team players absent.

Scott Sinclair

Swansea City

Take that North London

Just too young and inexperienced, playing on positions some never did before, no leaders (maybe Evra, but no Vidic/Rio/Rooney to pull the wagon) and Nani who played very bad tonight. Bad home support, NYE, tired,.... Just all those factors together made this a loss, and it shouldn't have happened, we were close to pulling it off but this time fate decided against us. You can't say we didn't give it our best, especially when you see the BBC stats.

17 CORNERS WTF?!?!?!?!

 

[alidsl]

17 CORNERS WTF?!?!?!?!

Spurs had 6 corners in 3 mins at Norwich

 

[Satangel]

17 CORNERS WTF?!?!?!?!

Yeah I know, sick...... But without Vidic/Anderson/Rooney (basically all the players that are well in the air, powerhouses) it's hard to cash on those corners....

This one is easy to believe.

If you cashed in on just one you could be at the top of the table.
Sucks.
Watch Blackburn rise to the middle of the table after this win.

I'll replay to that later. Presently I feel like death and therefore I cannot be arsed to do think.

The FA have published their report on Suarez, if you want a laugh than I suggest you go on the RAWK forums.

Every single user has Mr Suarez is Not A Racist in there user title.
It made me laugh because of the terrible capitalization and puncuation.

It seems that only three leagues are discussed in this thread. The other leagues are seen as as also ran. Maybe a bit of self respect might be in order.

 

[Monkee3000]

It's very interesting how facts can be manipulated or even just shown as is. I have been told to show you these by some drunkard in the corner. In his own words " Scotland couldn't win anything without the rest falling over them selves ". But yet we support our teams. Who would ask for more.

 

[kakashi919]

Scotland had their time, and it was a good time. No one can deny that, but I do admit that scottish football has declined in the recent years. You just don't get the same quality they had from years ago. There hasn't been any real challenge from a scottish team for years.
