Football Club -- Part Deux

Cf Maddy Says
Scrappy Scrappy win for United..they just some how manage to cross the finish line all through this season thats one quality that sets them apart,, but would be naive to write off Arsenal as they have all their hopes piled on League and United have more tougher games to play for the rest of season..Also United back line is on its knees unless they manage to get one or two of them fit enough in their international break..This season is going down to wire.!!


Mate Vidic is due to return after Intnl break..I suspect maybe Fergie has done it so that Rio n Vidic dnt play n avoid injuries on National duty.. I strongly feel hes bluffing just like he said Nani might be out for sme longer time but came back early..

Just think of it mate ..unexpectedly Chelsea See Vidic n Rio in the Tunnel at the Bridge for CL tie..Would give them a real surprise mini Heart attack..!!

P.S. its just my opinion..!!!

err...i missed the first half due to the damn pak-aus match..yea saw SAF with the fone giving instructions.he's gonna have to do that for 4 more matches.yaar i felt it wasnt a red card tackle..but the defence certainly looked a lot better today..


No mate i m a Red Devil for Life.. but still dat was a 100% Red Card..
No complaints abt that from the Refree.. but Evans still luked better than before esp in the Air against Davies..

I dnt knw what has happend to him.. I n Fergie both always rated him better than Pique when he was at Man Utd.. :thumbsup::thumbsup: but nw both f us wonder whats gone wrong with him...:lookround::lookround: somehw he needs some good games to regain his confidence back..

Good one mate!! could be in case of Vidic but Rio is really struggling through out the season..desperately hope to see both of them back at bridge, it was the united's defence that won them champions league back in 2008,,so really need them both for rest of season..Also wayne is really shining in his holding CF role so lets hope he comes good too..

i think Arsenal can already say ta ta bye bye to the league title..... They have some really tricky and difficult fixtures ahead. Its now United's title to loose

I think both teams' coming games are equally tough.

But do not forget to factor in United fighting on three fronts. We just have the EPL now. Fatigue will play a huge part. You can already see it pushing Utd's side to the edge. Utd will play chelsea thrice, and a tough cup encounter with ManC, Mancini fighting for his job (he loses and gets replaced). So Utd has a greater number of tougher fixtures. Its not all over yet haina sirjee?

Guyzz i have 1 request for everyone f u here...

Look if u dnt like someones post or a biased comment abt his/her club.. n ur a supporter f diff club..

Plzz lets nt groan each others post.. dsnt look gud..

A humble request if we cnt thank then lest nt groan for anyyone expressing his views or opinions...

P.S. aage sabki marzi..!!!:lookround:

United again able to grind out results in the dying moments of the game. I was not able to see the match so cannot comment anything on it. Arsenal yet again fail to take advantage of their situation. Although they prevented a major embarassment by atleast drawing.

Sir with all due respect thank u for giving us the honours.. but sir i feel the jobs still nt yet done n Utd will have to step up for the Treble or maintain consistency for EPL title..

As far as injury news pple r talking abt for Utd..

Valencia n Park are already back , We will have Fletcher back for next fixture. n by 2nd week of April we will have Anderson , Rafael , Vidic n even Rio(dats my intution) back from injury..

So we r gonna have a good majority squad available for the run in on all 3 fronts...

What do one says about the relegation fight in BPL ,, it looks real close with 9 teams separated by just five point..I really like blackpool for the kind of fighting spirit they have shown after qualifying from first division. And Wolves they have been victim of some real stoppage time goals..

Its unfortunate we can't watch all of blackpool's games. They really play attacking football the whole 90 minutes and go after the game no matter who they play and where. Takes some balls to do that 😁

dont be surprised if rio doesnt play..with vida back and smalling doing a good job rio might not be required to play this season..anderson rafael coming back is a boost that the red devils require to bolster that patchy midfield...atleast rooney can then play forward instead of playing deep like the way he plays now..

Well Rio still has his quality and experience for big matches that would be crucial as this stage..Anderson would real give a handy physical stature in midfield and his through ball which chicharito could really take advantage of...Rooney i think is having a new form in his holding role more useful than CF bcoz he has got really great vision for spotting the runs...

Yes with Vidic back with Smalling..its as good as partnership as Rio n Vida.. but i think he might play at OT..

Did u saw Fabio against Arsenal in FA cup n today.. ?? he cn play as RB too he shwd today.. so he can cover for Rafael.. He looks a bit better to me than Rafael..but his progress is hampered by lack of game time than Rafael i guess..

For me Rafael will become the best RB in the world in 2-3 yrs.. hes already among top 5 RB in the world right nw for me..

both the brothers are good..i think they move well..gives united the strength at the flangs and helps nani and valencia to do well upfront.. just cant wait for the CL clash..chelsea need a good beating..
RvP Says
So you predict united will win every single game other than the game at the emirates? No offence man, but that ain't very realistic. Especially with their deteriorating form in the EPL, and away from home in the EPL.


I agree with u... It isnt easy for Utd the way it sounds.. the Road isnt that simple as it seems.. but its a common stats that after jan if Utd r leadin the Points table then they go n to wint he Title bcz of better record in 2nd half of the season.. i dnt see Arsenal winning against Utd... n even Arsenal loosing to either Blackpool or Stoke at Bloomfield road n Britannia stadium respectively...

no doubt it was rarest of rare mistake from vds and even saf said that last time he maid sucha mistake was at high school....
and really it was a gritty performance from man utd..in spite of being 10 men..they never stopped pressing bolton and reaped the reward....
naani sometimes is too wasteful for me...his ball control is gud..but sumtimes tries to do many things wid the ball that too in the penalty area....
i think we could have got 2 3 goals easily....
still it is gud have a been after two heartbreaking lossses.....against liverpool it was horrible to see suarez running circles against us..particularly first goal was a real moment of magic..
arsenal fianlly salvaged something ...and taht also shows they are not going to give up that easy ..but i also trust arsenal to drop a point or two.....

Well I think even though the EPL fixtures pan out to be the same for both teams, you have to understand the significance of Utds other fixtures.

You do know that SAF will rest key players before the chelsea fixtures midweek right? And before the cup game against ManC.

Added to that, if Utd lose any of those fixtures, or are pushed to the limit you know that it can impact the game on the weekend after the middle of the wekk fixture. Case in point- arsenals poor showing at old trafford after visiting the nou camp.

Dude, it may look easy on paper, but trust me when you factor it all in. I thnk arsenal have the slightly easier run in ;]

No doubt abt that Arsenal has the easier run in..so did they had it last year too.. i still doubt them...

They will have to play the games of their lives from nw on to lift the trophy.. n Best f Luck to them for the cause.. but i still dnt fancy them personally..

I fancy Chelsea still for the title if they beat City...thats make or break game for them IMO..
