Apparently Wayne Rooney hasn't scored in a while. No mention of it in commentary/the panelists on ESPN though yet...

When a player some were stating is the best striker in the world hasn't scored since March or whenever, its worth mentioning.

So how are Manchester Utd looking? Sharp? How is Berbatvo? Have any of you even noticed his presence yet?

United look poor.

Berbatov has been one of the better players on the pitch, trying to make things happen. Expect a few to have a go at him in the United thread later regardless though.

I am baffled why Valencia didn't start.

Julez

Berbatov our best player so far IMO

Himself and Park were very ineffective last week.

Rooney very frustrating to watch at the moment.

I know:mad:
I had to bite the bullet and chuck him off my fantasy team and replace him with Drogba. I'm hoping Rooney proves me wrong.

We didn't have Rooney last week.

West Ham getting some joy down United's right.

Giggsy wins a pen. Rooney to take it please.

Great ball from Scholes.
Giggs was amazing.
Keep Nani away from it:pac:

Gwan Rooney

redout

God he needed that.

Good man Wazza.

nullzero

That's it Rooney!
Keep proving me wrong for replacing you with Drogba:D

MagicMarker

That's a gutsy peno to take after 5 months without a goal!

nullzero

We're starting to play now, this is more like it.

Mikeyt086

We really needed that goal. So did Rooney.

jaykay74

Had a bad feeling about the pen there. never like a player going through struggle with form taking them. 2nd before halftime hopefully.

Well done Rooney.

grames_bond

That's how you take a peno! Winding run up, leaves the keeper with little or no chance!

That's the trademark Tevez run up though.

At least Drogba scored . . I swapped captains (made Valencia Captain instead of Rooney) ! !

IvySlayer

G'wan Giggs.

Still out pacing people even though he is 58.

Who on earth is Wazza? dont see his name on the back of any of the shirts???? :pac:

nullzero

Well taken penalty, but it has to be said, Giggs was fantastic to win it, great skill, and Scholes pass was a reminder of how difficult it is to replace him.

Of course ignoring the two that Chelski got today . .

Remember the fact that it was a peno is irrelevant . . Any peno to united at OT is obviously an injustice . .

Mikeyt086

Vidic has put in two huge tackles this half.

jaykay74

great tracking back from Rooney there when Utd were caught out a bit stretched.

That were both stone wall penaltys, what's your point?

redout

What a strike - what a save.

nullzero

What a shot from Fletch.
Not a bad save from Green either.

Hammer Archer

Seriously how the hell have three West Ham managers failed to see that Johnathan Spector is simply not a Premier League footballer? He gave away countless goals last season and, low and behold, his first appearance in the PL this season results in him giving him away a penalty :mad:

redout

Scholes passing in the first half has been sublime.

His point is that regardless of the legitimacy of a penalty, when it comes to teams like United/Chelsea it will be seen as unfair.

Read the match thread at around 8 o'clock. "It was never a peno and West Ham were cheated" etc etc.

Lukker-

Typical Berb.

Raskolnikov

Berba should have done better there.

IvySlayer

Dear oh dear Berbatov.

Berbafail.

I had Lampard as mine, missed a peno, played like sh1te.
He's usually worth a decent tally not today however.

homer simpson

Was it a clear peno, didnt see it myself. certinly changed the game cos beforehand it was all doom and gloom in here, now UTD are playing well (according to the posts here) so, was it a genuine Peno claim?

Peyton Manning

Who the hell is doing all the shouting!? :mad:

PHB

If Nani and Berbatov could find some ****ing finishing form we'd be wnning every game 5-0. Ole needs to have a session with them

IvySlayer

Who's shouting?

nullzero

Nani.............
What a wally.:eek:

jaykay74

nani you fcking eejit

Paul Tergat

Giggs and Scholes joint tackle was class.

Nani took the wrong option there...

MagicMarker

Double tackle from Scholes and Giggs
