On the Eve of the new Season...

gosh, i would hate to draw at home to such a team

Our injury list is bigger than your whole squad, and United are notorious slow starters. Tonight looks like we've totally dominated yet another team for the second time in this very young season with very little in the way of goals to show for it.

cry me a river, we only had one healthy striker and started a center back that had one whole training session with the team. if you had given maybe you would have got all 3 points :p

And if you had SAF instead of Keegan…….what's your point?

just in case you forgot

He has a distinct advantage as a goalie by not being weighed down with any silverware around his neck.

Maybe that's why Alan Shearer was so agile in the box….until he came face to face with Roy Keane that is!!!!

you mean besides winning the league with blackburn?

anyway, i thought for sure toon were going to get knocked out by coventry last night once i saw the starting 11, and it nearly happened. mikey would have had 5 goals if he played the whole game, though

and then of course milner hands in a transfer request today

Standard Liege have just taken Liverpool to Extra Time in a Third Round Champion's League Qualifier…

Safe to assume you were referring to Shearer and not Given here? Given wasn't given a medal in 1994.

Actually, we could've used the same 'you've won fuck all' for chelskzzzzz, couldn't we?

As for berbatov - don't know, don't care. United will have a new striker by sep 1st though, just not sure who.

Only if you think the Arshavin and Payulchenko deals are done, and I don't think they are. Spurs cannot do those deals with United's cash.

They are the new chelskzzzz, putting your opposition to sleep then scoring in the 97th minute.

Just one edit…

Come on Juventus and Zenit, between the two of you the Champions League could get rid of Real Madrid by December.
