Man U's injury ward
It's a good one today, and not just because Man U has some serious injury issues....
Manchester United: Van der Sar; O'Shea, Neville, Evans, Evra; Carrick, Giggs; Fletcher, Tevez, Nani; Ronaldo.
Bench: Foster, Park, Welbeck, Gibson, Martin, Macheda, Eckersley.
Aston Villa: Friedel; L Young, Cuellar, Davies, Shorey; Milner, Petrov, Barry, A Young; Carew, Agbonlahor.
Bench: Guzan, Delfouneso, Knight, Salifou, Reo-Coker, Gardner, Albrighton.
That's right, Tevez is fit, but Neville and Evans are in at central back today. Can Villa take advantage and right their season? Meanwhile, in addition to injuries, Man U seem to be floundering, and are now facing rumors of C-Ron off to Real Madrid (again!) and training ground bustups featuring you-know-who. Oh and they turn around and play Porto in 48 hours.
Have your say after the jump, or feel free to chat about Everton-Wigan, Luton, Serie A, your pets, etc.
Wow, Juve v. Chievo is pretty compelling... 3-3 at the death.
ReplyDeleteHave I mentioned that Jonny Evans is a rapist?
ReplyDeleteI think Villa really miss Laursen.
ReplyDeleteOh good, Mike Riley
ReplyDeleteComing soon to a Real Madrid match near you....
ReplyDeleteNo way Petrov was off. That is pisspoor.
ReplyDeleteI do believe Rod Carew just scored. Who knew he played footy?
ReplyDeleteAnd Gary Neville with the poor marking. Game on!
ReplyDeleteWonderful effort by Barry in the build-up. He absolutely ruined Evra.
ReplyDeleteEverton are massacring Wigan. 4-0, Jo with a brace.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Everton are destroying Wigan 4-0.
ReplyDeleteHa point to Phil.
ReplyDeleteWTF? How do you leave CR unmarked? Villa are lucky not to concede there.
ReplyDeleteRio Ferdinand and Ian Dowie... Best fwiends forever!
ReplyDeleteI like what I'm seeing.
ReplyDeleteFSC having some technical difficulties at the half, eh?
ReplyDelete"Tevez runs with ball down the United right, but is tackled and United have a throw. Save an occasional late goal, I'm not sure what he does."
ReplyDeleteListen Soccernet, when the sign says 'Don't feed the bears', man you better not feed the bears.
2-1! Villa! Holy shit!
ReplyDelete(need to calm down)
Gabby may be dead, but dammit, so might Man U.
ReplyDeleteVdS has become a useless statue, has he not?
ReplyDelete*runs in, slides across the turf*
ReplyDeleteWhat a game for John Carew so far. It's like he and Ibrahimovic are equals today.
ReplyDeletedoes that guy look like Lampard to anybody else?
ReplyDeleteOh, this is delicious... SAF turns to his bench... and comes up with a 17-year old.
ReplyDelete(JT, sorry I didn't get a chance to return your last text yesterday... busy evening)
if Rooney were playing, he'd be working up enough anger to lash out and get himself sent off right about now.
ReplyDeleteLike Macheda is? Young gun has learned his Man U lessons well, right?
ReplyDeleteMacheda just seems like a C-Ron clone. Not re: talent, but re: his ability to fall down and gesture wildly for penalties and free kicks.
ReplyDeletePaging Keith to the main concourse, Keith.
ReplyDeleteIs that guy the cocksmoker that United had to give money to his dad to get him to sign?
ReplyDeleteLampard+Crispy Ronaldo=
ReplyDeleteMacheda?
He's got caverns in his cheeks for storing pies in the winter!
ReplyDeleteAww. He fixed his hair up today. Who says modern kids have no sense of occasion?
ReplyDelete@TFA-needs more MSPaint.
ReplyDeleteNice tights, nancy boy sub.
ReplyDeletedon't put Reo-Coker at fullback!!
ReplyDelete@TFA - I was told there would be no math.
ReplyDeletedagnabbit
ReplyDeleteand the twat has a brace
ReplyDeletedammit
ReplyDeleteThird feels inevitable. At least six minutes of stoppage time.
ReplyDeleteWho else didn't know Welbeck was black?
ReplyDelete5 minutes at OT.
ReplyDeleteShocker.
I like the announcer acting like the amount of added time is a lottery.
ReplyDeletewell then. that was quite the strike
ReplyDeleteLook at all those white guys going crazy.
ReplyDeleteCan't blame Friedel, but I can blame the terrible defense. Just let everyone dance with the ball in the box you fucking pansies. Maybe if your boss wasn't so shrewd and bought a defender or two your season wouldn't have collapsed.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i'm pretty sure that ginger was related to the italian goalscorer.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the PIRA when you need it.
ReplyDeletecan't you do anything right Villa? hosers.
ReplyDeleteThat was the chance. Now every other manager is going to lay down for SAF just like every other title year. Fuck. If I hadn't spent the last twelve hours puking my guts out, I'd probably be sick.
ReplyDeletelol manutd are never going to drop pts again
ReplyDeletethis hurt more than liverpool losing to boro haha. i wish villa at least sealed their loss EARLY so i could have avoided falsely believing in them for 90 mins UGHHHH.
ReplyDeletethey have their confidence and their players back after this match. fergie will know what to do and porto are basically dead
to try and watch the limp, turgid efforts of Serie A after a 5-goal EPL thriller like that is utterly impossible.
ReplyDeleteagreed, c0rrine. They'll go back to their shit-eating grins, smug attitudes and complacency as if March never happened. Now, I root for Sunderland, who are due for a good result.
ReplyDeleteI mean, we're still winning any which way, and doing everything we can at this point to keep it close. We need someone to stand up and take these cunts on squarely. We even showed the league how to do it! And STILL nothing. Villa dominated for 74 minutes, kept Ronaldo quiet (except for his two world-class goals, no doubt), and they leave with nothing.
O'Neill couldn't make one change or tactical adjustment in that last 10? He hung them out to dry. Fucking hate that entire team right now.
At least it's Opening Night tonight. The start of baseball season will wash away any bad feelings I had today
ReplyDeleteWeekend is still a success for me... Exeter City up to 2nd place. Two huge games coming up against Brentford and Wycombe. C'mon City!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Congrats to the Hatters!! Great job this season staying positive and refusing to be beaten down!
