Michael Owen was on the postgame on BT Sport talking about "no goal is as satisfying as a last second winner". Didn't even give a sly wink to the camera. We remember '09 vs Man City & Mark Hughes, Michael. Thanks again!

England players suck balls. God, when's the last time there was a decent one? feck is it Frank Lampard?? David Beckham? English players have been trash for 25 years. Maybe a teenage Michael Owen but OMG scraping the bottom of the pan.

If you're a striker, you always trust the ball on your own boot more.

Statistics prove you wrong. Almost 800 goals for club & country in ~1100 career games. He's streets ahead of Van Nistelrooy. And Ruud was my hero back in the day.

But far, far better. Quicker, more instinctive. Still has a tiny turn of pace at 36 to make 10 or 15 yards matter. I remember thinking Ruud was the best pure striker I'd ever seen, you can sense it watching Ronaldo. A goal is just an inch away from him, always. He's always a threat.

So, 1.) Equating VDS & Schmeichel is a bit of lunacy...VDS was great but he wasn't top-3 in the world like Schmikes. But more importantly, 2.) Valdes is in the squad, is two years younger than when we got VDS, and has been one of the best keepers in the world for half a decade. It's not like...

i actually think he'd be quite a sage buy. we're losing berbatov and probably owen as well, and that leaves us with roo + chicharito + welbeck as the only options up front. i don't think kiko's impressed enough to come back strongly, so another true goalscorer, especially one who can do a job...

this thread is fully stupid. i remember an interview ronaldinho gave a few years back in his first few seasons at barca where he talked about one of the challenges of slotting into a new team in understanding which players prefer the ball played to their feet and which prefer a ball played a...

I read "OHAMMED". Sounds Irish to me.

That's no way for our future manager to endear himself to the OT faithful.

Simao & Quaresma to Beşiktaş was pretty shocking*, but then Turkey has seen a fair number of interesting imports lately. (* OK possibly "eyebrow-raising", but you take my meaning)

Give the guy a bit of credit. After going through the paces of a match, he's all humility. Hard to fault him, he earns more in his other athletic endeavors than anyone spare Ronaldo, Messi, etc, and having come from footballing origins, sure he thought he had the pedigree to have a go. He...

This is sort of stupid, considering Pep was 37-38 when he jumped into the Barca hotseat and performed to Barca supporters' standards (and beyond). Unless your thesis is that Pep is somehow unique and beyond Ole's poor ability...?

uhm, ok, why bump this thread? keane's long gone and not as though he's swooning united in the papers looking to be fergie's follow-on, so why the love-in? just boredom?

yes over here (the states) that would be offensive but absolutely protected speech. yes he's a classless twat and trying to wind up united supporters in the basest possibly way, but it's not exactly at the same level as this: Shouting fire in a crowded theater - Wikipedia, the free...
