I can't get sound on my work PC, and for some reason ESB doesn't work on my laptop at home.

Don't know why.....

What does it say?

Steele strikes ball, DeGea makes a save but i don't think he claims it as well as Steele wants and he goes to DeGea 'Your at United now, Not Atletico'. Found it a strange thing to say around camera's.

------------Yaya------------
Evra---Vidic--Kompany-Richards
------------Hart------------

If anyone has a problem with Richards selection, it is solely down to the fact Smalling is only just on the scene and unproven somewhat. Richards has been capped by England is looking good atm.

The rest of the squad picks itself with the stronger players leaping onto my selection. Rio is/was a solid CB but is made of glass and keeps getting injured. Kompany was amazing last year and we had more clean sheets than united so that's justified but Vidic obviously is better than Kolo or Lescott. The rest isn't controversial as far as I am concerned.

The midfield would have have Yaya holding whilst the playmakers in Nasri and Silva would create chances for Aguero and Rooney to finish. That team would challenge Barca to the death as well as I feel Barca are very get-able at the back. I am still staggered that they have felt the need to sign Sanchez and Fabregas but not sign a CB especially when they have Afellay and Alacantra coming through. Sanchez was not an imperative signing but a CB is when you consider Mascherano (but did a great job) and Busquets having to cover there. A CB would of been my first signing

Obviously set up slightly different to you but the same 7-4 split to City.

Enter TFFP to pick a side with at least 6 United players

Fletcher was poor last season. How will we know if his performances are worthy enough if he plays 20 minutes here and there? This might be the Man City mentality to be scared of playing an inexperienced player thats unproven but its not ours I don't believe. His performances so far have been 7/10, no need to change.

You're suckers for all these names thats for sure.

No question.

It's amazing how this weak United team are going to win the league again and then the excuses/hyperbole about others will begin once more

If we're picking units it would be all red. But we aint.

I mean Micah Richards, WTF? Do you honestly think we'd take that oaf? I wouldn't play him ahead of Smalling whos played about 2 games at RB nevermind Rafael and Fabio.

Any impartial football fan, with any clue, will tell you the same.

I agree Manchester United will win the league by the way.

Their collective strength and know how will make sure of that.

Giggs at 50 years old raped the shit out of Richards, hes absolutely awful and clumsy looking. Do not rate. Whereas Rafael everyone thinks is still the same spastic that kept getting sent off. He's not, he's bulked up a good deal, he's FAR better on the ball than Richards and is developing into an all-round modern full-back. In a few years Rafael will be world class I guarantee it, Richards probably won't even be playing for City.

De Jong for Young is a good shout and one I agree with. i just thing an on his game young or nani give that extra chance of a goal due to crosses in and ability to score. Against a Barca i'd play DeJong thinking about it just to make Xavi and Iniesta struggle.

As for Rio. Kompany was best CB last year without a single doubt. Rio seem's to be injury prone more and more, his pace is evading him too. BTW i'm going for the Kompany of last year and not teh silly cunt that got done by Nani in the 90odd minute of the shield game

Richards whips in decent crosses and gets more assists as he is involved more in link up play than Rafael. Bellamy own Rafael before aswell and my opinion of him is largely affected by that, he got hammered everytime Bellamy ran at him. I'll give him a shot this season but Richards tops him imo. Even if I give you it City still have 6-5

Originally Posted by jpab19

Nasri's ineffective on the left and Young is ineffective on the right, swap them round and it'd be better.

Rafael>Richards btw, easily.

He doesn't do well for us cos we dont play him as our main player as villa did.

Rooney plays for England as well.

Never said Richards was amazing, great, wonderful or top fucking draw. But he still plays for England. That dream stuff pal, but he is shit just because TFFP says so now. I ain't having that. Bellamy killed Rafael so that makes him shit due to your Giggs comment

Listen, Richards is stronger, links up better with crosses and is more attacking than Rafael. But that might change as I said, but right now i beg to differ. i take a massive compliment off you not pulling any other selections apart other than that. So by doing so City win by 6 -5

Oh and when it mattered we beat you in the f.a

You will see next time when we play Aguero mate, just you wait!

All the best btw...

Wish he had taken that cos we drubbed em 6-1


Need I say more. Notable mentions to Jpab for saying Nasri isn't good on the left where infact he has given 6 assists from there and helped us remain unbeaten.

You haters should hang your heads.

Cheers Mand, Noonan and Grant for seeing sense and not buying the United are the best hype.

No probs Nip, Must say i still don't get the Nasri's ineffective off the left comments, he was Arsenal's best player from there most of last season. His best position he admits and French believe is in behind the front man as creative playmaker but he's good enough to play on left and makes a world class job of it.

Cheers pal

Remember tffp comment 'I know fuck all about football' comment yet everything I said has come to fruition and been proven correct. Don't agree again with me cos as a Chelsea coach you know fuck all too. Remember you have to be pedantic and make a 4-5 paragraph post to be correct nowadays.

I fucking love em at the moment.

The Manchester United fans I know are the most obnoxious sports fans I know and I love seeing them at the moment.

Nip, you seem awfully bitter towards Man Utd. Maybe bitter isn't the word, but you seem to revel more in United's shortcomings rather than enjoying City's success.

Exactly Grant.

Listen, we HAVE bought the team we use no doubt. To say otherwise is a lie. But let's have it right, United have bought player after player for years and no doubt spurs and inter will be looking over their shoulders now. The double standards is a fucking joke.

First and foremost I am a fan of football. I wanna see City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and even dare I day Manure field the best players the world has to offer. I don't wanna see Real and Barca keep nabbing the best talent. Let's just enjoy football no matter the team. United have no given right to win anything and their fans need to understand this.

The top and bottom is this. Fergie is looking to retire and his replacement has big boots Ro fill. The challenge will be unenviable because the fans and media will look to criticise every intricacy that surfaces i.e Clough at Leeds following a very successful Don Revy era. United have owners whom are using United as a safehaven to stabilize their company portfolio and their best player in Rooney might just leave if a Real or Barca went in for him following a very probable trophy-less season at united.

It will be interesting but like I said before I see the future being one lead by 'THE BLUE HALF OF MANCHESTER!!!'.

That is all.

Tbf i think a large majority of football fans do, The southern Manc fans are a major reason for me to raise a smile when they fail.

Not really mate. I just like to put the record straight following a wide condemning on the board at the time.

Like the Gary Speed thing, I merely believe it is immoral to commit suicide, especially when you have kids to leave behind. I have solid foundations for my opinion and an aunt whom is a doctor in mental health and a sister who suffers from auditory hallucinations haul has also tried to kill herself yet my opinion gets derided. Jpab even said a person who suffers from depression knows more than a doctor knows. I mean wow what a comment. God help me if I have a heart attack cos I know more than a surgeon, forget the fact the person has trained for 8 years and read journals of sufferers and read hundreds of case studies. That just by the by. Crazy.

Folk need to understand that opinions are just that and should w respected. To be different is unfashionable and many jump in the bandwagon and agree with veteran posters to often.

I will be even happier when we beat United at home in the f.a cup and win the EPL. And for Gary Speeds family to find happiness through a difficult time especially with Xmas around the corner.
