We should never have let Beardsley and Aldridge go. None of this would have happened. David Speedie my hole.

or he could have increased the risk of endcing up a burnout in his mid 20's like Michael Owen.

What's the general understanding on what Ryan Giggs did differently to everyone else?

 

[Hector Grey]

Shagged his brother's wife, I think.

He had some major hamstring problems in his mid 20's but it seems like he looked after himself after that. He also reinvented his game.

He still seemed to run a lot. Why can't Rooney et al do that?

Because he is a fat man who is fighting all the laws of nature and genetics to look like something approaching an elite athlete, Giggs looks like he'd be skinny regardless of what he did.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

How fat is Sterling?

 

[Unicron]

Not very I'd say

 

[Hector Grey]

Sterling is all arse.

 

[dunderhead]

is there a specific coach at the club doing defensive training?

Jesus christ like, yesterday was an absolute joke. West Ham likewise a few weeks ago and countless other goals/chances conceded recently. For Traore to be able to control that ball on his chest and then head it twice for the second yesterday. fucking nuts. Aside from Moreno have no confidence in any of the defenders. Wisdom playing very well against Utd at the minute

 

[Hector Grey]

Defence weren't good, but I wouldn't single them out. Nobody was good. Enrique has no brain. Why is Skrtl afraid of the ball? He's great at heading if it's down the other end. Just do the same thing, Mrtn, just don't aim for the goal. Simps, right?

 

[Wheels]

So. Anyone else utterly terrified about what's going to unfold tomorrow night?

 

[Hector Grey]

We're not talking about it, damn you.

It's going well so far.

I have a sneaky suspicion we could keep this down to 5. Are you watching Borisov...are you watching Bor-i-sov.

I'm sure Simon Ming is a nice guy who loves his children, but I want to make them orphans.

 

[dunderhead]

moan moan fucking moan

that was pretty much what we all expected in reality.

Fair dues, they were fucking excellent. Only for the Classico being next weekend it could have been an absolute mauling there. Bale missing too.

Is Balotelli gonna be there beyond January? Was completely willing to give the guy a chance but after 10+ games he looks disinterested and selfish going forward. any shot he takes doesn't clear the first defender. Making some awful calls. Not saying he was difference tonight between a loss and a win or whatever. Just saying after a decent amount of games he has basically done nothing to impress. looks like he didn't sit on bench for 2nd half so is maybe starting to act like a little bitch now aswell

good result in other game mind. On current form can see us make very very hard work of last 2 games in group though

 

[Unicron]

Are the papers and podcasts tomorrow going to be full of some bullshit shirtgate story?

 

[Hector Grey]

I worry for Balo. We put up with some shit from Suarez: racism, biting, demanding moves, calling Rodgers a liar, all that shit. He got away with it because he could score goals. I hope that Balo isn't hung out to dry. He can be great. He's all about confidence, but he totally lacks it right now. I think this manifests itself in looking petulant. He needs work. He needs goals, fucks sake.

Real were good, but with a bit of...i dunno...something? Maybe a couple of 60+million players we may have scored. It's hard to pick out one thing or player that was the difference. Nobody played particulalrly well, but then, this was real. There's class everywhere (but full back). There's 5-6 players you have to have an eye on constantly. They were also disciplined, fit and closed down. Isco was great, i thought, winning the ball and moving it quickly, and Toni Kroos is a gentleman with that ball. Oh, for a Kroos.
