Berba looks quite happy as it is, Rooney needs to score, Rooney needs to stay on.

Nah , a hatrick for Berbs would be worth more then a couple for Rooney . . We know Rooney will get his form back . . We also know that a confident Berbs will be a huge plus (many united fans had berbs written off). .

That aside, no need to rush back Rooney at the risk of his injury flaring up. . Next 2 fixtures are winnable without an in form Rooney . .

I know he's not 100% match fit but even towards the end of last season his shooting was bloody awful. I say atleast 4-5 times a game now you see him launch shots miles into the stand.

he never recovered from the injury and united had to risk him . . He has had a good rest now and once the injury has cleared up he will find fitness and form . .

Unlucky nani, should have slotted Rooney in tbh!

What about the "Alive and Kicking" anthem . . I loved it back then . . In all fairness, it was when footballers were men and taking chunks out of opponents was a given . .

Is that Glen Hansard sitting in the stand behind SAF?

And Newcastle were good.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Jaysus, Scholes should have walked for that one.

Drumpot

Scholes should just ask the ref before each game for a yellow . . Saves the ref time in having to book him in the game . . When the Ginger ace does his usual bookable foul they can just glance and nod . .

Mr.Nice Guy

Should have been a penalty.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Possibly, they have not shown it again so cannot tell, bad miss by Berbs though.

bennyx_o

Good play, bad finish

DOC09UNAM

Definitely should have been a peno, and berba should've buried it!

Mr.Nice Guy

I take it back. On seeing the replay I don't think it was.

Lol true but the monday night thing didnt really fly.
The football was great, Smiks, irwin, pally, bruce, robbo, kean, giggs, andri k, sparky and eric, ah happy happy days :):):)

SlickRic

Scholes has been absolutely brilliant.

an exemplary performance in how to control a game of football.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Barton deserves more of a kicking that that for that Moustache. Deserved yellow though.

NickDrake

Shocking from Berba

DOC09UNAM

Great accuracy from rooney blasting the ball off barton's head...

Now, to turn towards the goals..

Was just going to say the same thing, did not look it.

Drumpot

United fkn about a bit . . Need to be more clinical . .

NickDrake

If Scholes gets injured this season we are in SERIOUS trouble

Fletch wins the ball and gets booked . . Similar tackle on Nani in first half and nothing given . .

Oh come on, he went right through is legs and both feet off the ground, could just as easily have been a red. And it was not a Pen so you probably cannot use that in your conspiracy theories forum.

I thought you were messing when you posted that . . . Ha, your funny, I like funny people . :pac:

Joe Cole gets a red. Paul Scholes gets a yellow. The inconsistancy is laughable

DOC09UNAM

Chico for fletcher or scholes, 4-3-3????

Thanx 4 The Fish

Different refs though. If the same ref gave different decisions for the same thing then that is wrong but a lot of reffing is about interpretation. Scholes had both feet off the ground and probably could have gone, so did Cole, this ref did not see it as violent conduct though so he gave a yellow.

Joe Cole's and Paul Scholes were not reds . . Ref was wrong in Pool game and right in ours . . Get over it .

Good signs here . . Could be 5 but I think United were missing this kind of "play till the end" last season . . The hunger is back . .

Scholes is a genius and a half.

That_Guy

hahahahahaha. Highlight of my night.

DOC09UNAM

lol @ berb, at least he's enjoying himself.

Great confidence booster for him not to be taken off first though

super_furry

Suppose now the 'you scouse bastard' chants won't look so sad with Rooney off the pitch.

If United can keep Scholes fit and playing this season, they're going to be very hard to beat.

DOC09UNAM

Chico looking bright already
