Manchester United Season 2011-12

[DerMannschaft]

Nah, Nasri is laughing all the way to the bank. He gets 3-4times more than he would at Arsenal and his team is ahead of his former club. That is not a bad deal I must say.

Yes but Arsenal club, fans and the media will have a field day digging at the deflectors.

lady luck smiling on Man U. Penalty undeserved given against QPR.
Against QPR, i sense even if the penalty is not given, they will concede sooner or later.
Welbeck losing his form, likewise for Chicarito, why on earth didn't play Owen? Thot he fit liao? And Berbatov - he is condemned liao?
I think we can afford to lose at Man C even and keep the title if we can win all the rest. Esp since Balotelli has now gone. Left only tevez...

Penaty was a god-send. Neither did we make overwhelming possion (75/25 in many stages) and numerical advantage count.

Yeah, why is Fergie keeping faith on Wellback fellow (with lousy sense of gravity, he and his flip flops)? On balance, even Chicharito and Berbi would have been a good bet. And out of wage Owen may have given a run for his money too.

Hopefully, at least a derby draw would bury the blue (wrong) side of Manchester.

Rafael needs a slap on the head. He almost nullify our numerical advantage with silly,reckless challenges.

Yes, Welbeck and Hernandez are out of form and SAF should look to Owen to give them a lift upfront. If we win the next three, it will most certainly be the 20th title. Our only weakness at this stage of the race is complacency. You can count on some of the players and possibly the manager to do just that.

i think fergie has his fingers burnt enough this season to lapse into that - against blackburn, basel, crystal palace.

i have a feeling, they may 'give water' to Wigan this mid-week...and Park & others may figure.

whatever happen to Nani - is he injured?

Scholes to accept Sir Alex Ferguson's offer of another season at Manchester United - report

The veteran midfielder has been in impressive form since coming out of retirement back in January and is reportedly ready to commit to the 2012-13 campaign

​

Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes is set to accept an offer from Sir Alex Ferguson to play on for another season at Old Trafford, according to The Times.

​

​

The 37-year-old scored the second goal in a 2-0 win over QPR on Sunday to cap an excellent all-round performance which was praised by his manager and team-mates alike.

United have only dropped two points in 12 games since Scholes returned in January – a run which has seen them overhaul Manchester City and open up an eight-point gap at the top of the table.

The report states that the former England star is now ready to accept an offer from Sir Alex to continue playing next season, while midfield partner Michael Carrick is convinced he can carry on.

Carrick said: "His performances, having come straight back into the team, have been amazing. He has just carried on and I’m sure he has got a lot more games left in him yet."

 

[Gallego99]

Its the Scholes-Carrick partnership that is pivotal to United's resurgence. Maybe the club can do an encore and asked Scholes to take a 6 month break and return in January 2013.

Scholes -Giggs is United's version of the formidable Xavi-Iniesta partnership. The only difference is Barca has Messi and we've got the magnificent VALENCIA!!!!

He's back in training, I think he will play tomorrow.

If he plays Nani,I think Jones will play right back. Park looks certain to start and that should give Scholes a much needed break.I dun think Fergie will play Young so I'd expect Giggs/Nani on left or Nani/Valencia on right. Smalling to take the place of Rio and Hernandez over Welbeck.

The fixtures are a bit tight this week so we can expect many changes.

Yet another un-inspiring 1, notwithstanding the controversial corner. RA predicted correctly we'd likely koyak at DW.

 

[Gallego99]

They look defeated even before the game started. Some of the players look terribly jaded. It's time Fergie plays Owen. As usual Carrick looks like a headless chicken without Scholes. Giggs was awful and simply could not orchestrate any meaningful attacks from midfield. They should leave Hernandez out of the team and the subs bench. What happen to Park?

They will get into trouble if they dun beat Villa this weekend. The home tie against Swansea is by no means an easy one. Swansea is an attacking outfit and they are many times better than Wigan.

 

[jw5]

What a shambles.
Bunch of overpaid leggy laggards.
Even the goal difference has been reversed by 5 in one day.

 

[red amoeba]

honestly, not surprising that Man U lost.

complacency setting in. They can take Aston Villa, McLeish is getting closer to be sacked.

Swansea also can take.

think the title is poised on 30 Apr. Win it & be declared winner. Lose it, they still have 2 point lead. down to wire.

 

[Gallego99]

We have a very thin squad with very little options. Can't complain about Man U 's lost as I made some kopi money from it. The signs were since October/November that their form was on a steep decline after such a promising pre-season campaign. IMHO it appears to be bottoming out.

Come Sunday, Mcleish will employ a strategy that will ensure they will not lose. A draw will be a good result for Villa. After all they are 4 points ahead of Wigan and QPR with a game in hand. If United are to beat them, they will have to work on set pieces or get those bums to shoot from the perimeter. I simply cannot understand why they are not doing it. Sigh....

Traitor!

On that day QPR also beat the Swans to get out of the relegation zone.

Watch out for matches involving relegation threatened clubs.

also watch out for matches where the players may arready be on holiday.

 

[Gallego99]

Blackburn fans who apologized to the manager for the 'premature' call for his resignation some weeks ago may want to take it back. They are doomed.

Champions like Barca and Dortmund came from behind to beat their opponents. Hopefully United will do the same tonight.

 

[yinyang]

C'mon red devils ..go hit villains for 6 too:p

 

[Gallego99]

Young is fast gaining a reputation for diving.:( Fergie should sort it out before he gets sent off for simulation. To be fair though there was contact but the manner in which he fell over was nothing short of spectacular.

At any rate, we're inching our way to the finish line. There was alot more urgency and the passing was generally good. I hope they can maintain the momentum and see off Everton on Sunday. Moyes will do us a favor if he fields the same players who played in the FA Cup semi.
