Re: 2012-13 English Premier League/Cups Thread - BRAVE BRADFORD/KICKING KIDS
Yes! 3 points!
That was a very nervy ending but we looked solid at the back all game. Evans after having a nervous start was a complete rock and Ferdinand was great throughout. Rafael had another good game both defensively and in attack, Evra was once again strong going forward but poor at the back. De Gea gets his long awaited cleansheet. He deserved it after those two magnificent saves he made.
Valencia was awful again, which is a real shame to see. Nani had a good first half but was dreadful second half. Carrick and Cleverley continue to blossom together in midfield and Rooney was Man of the Match for me. Worked hard the entire game, looked creative in attack, linked up well, tracked back to help out his defence and scored a really superb goal. Definitely the best attacking player on the pitch. RVP had a few decent moments but was surprisingly quiet for majority of the game.
We were terrific first half but second half, besides scoring the goal, we looked devoid of any ideas. Still, 3 points is 3 points and the added bonus in the cleansheet.

Glad to see that Andros Townsend was good today. Saw that he got the man of the match award. He has a bright future I just hope he gets as much playing time as possible for the club. I hope we get to see more of him for the remainder of the season, QPR still have very tough games remaining so it will be good to see how he does against the likes of Man Utd etc.

I'm in the touhg position of needing Liverpool and Spurs to do badly for Chelsea's sake, but also wanting Lennon and Suarez to do well for my fantasy team.

Much more of this and Roman may pack his bags and walk away. How much has he spent - is it a billion pounds yet? - and nobody at Chelsea seems to appreciate him. I do - because he saved us fans of Arsenal, Liverpool et al from total Man U dominance plus he brought some fantastic players (and managers) to PL and helped make it the most-watched, most-popular, most-entertaining football league on the planet. Thank you for what you have done, Roman, and I understand perfectly: it's not fun anymore.

I certainly don't think he's shit, it just pisses me off when some United fans suggest that he's world class while continuing to make excuses for all of his mistakes. Sometimes I feel bad for hammering him when Hart, Reina and Szcezny perform far worse, but the thing is that there is very little talk on here of those guys being infallible.
The potential is clear to see because reflexes and agility like that are so rare to come by, the distribution is just the icing on the cake. The best thing that United could do is put the lad on some kind of bulking programme (although that could hinder his agility) while also bringing in some serious competition for his place. That could even be an older experienced keeper with valuable knowledge to pass on, something that could only be a bonus.
I'm of the school of thought that keeper isn't a position to learn your trade in at the top, but there will always be exceptions. Casillas is an obvious example.
Hendo has been good this season to be fair. However I am only posting that so I can post this picture. It has nothing to do with football but I enjoyed it very much.
One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany,
Eight great football stalwarts conceded victory.
Eight men will never play again, who met disaster there,
The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester.
The Busby Babes were flying home, returning from Belgrade,
This great United family all masters of their trade.
The pilot of the aircraft, the skipper Captain Thain,
Three times tried to take off and twice turned back again.
The third time down the runway disaster followed close,
There was slush upon that runway and the aircraft never rose.
It ploughed into the marshy ground, it broke, it overturned.
And eight of that team were killed when the blazing wreckage burned.
Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor, who were capped for England's side,
And Ireland's Liam Whelan and England's Geoff Bent died.
Mark Jones and Eddie Coleman and David Pegg also,
They all lost their lives as it ploughed on through the snow.
Big Duncan he went too, with an injury to his brain,
And Ireland's brave Jack Blanchflower will never play again.
The great Matt Busby lay there, the father of this team,
Three long months passed by before he saw his team again.
The trainer, coach and secretary and three members of the crew,
Also eight sporting journalists who with United flew,
And one of them was Big Swifty who we will ne'er forget,
The finest English 'keeper that ever graced a net.
England's finest football team it's record truly great,
It's proud success mocked by this cruel turn of fate.
Eight men will never play again who met disaster there,
The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester.
Taken from the Portsmouth game at Old Trafford on this day 3 years ago. I'm actually the one holding the Liam Whelan two stick on the far right of the picture/left as you look at the picture.
Of course there are no players from City, Kiz. Your attacking players don't really start internationals and you don't get out of CL group stages so no points for you ique2
