Manchester United v Fulham - 25th August - Old Trafford

Replacing Rooney with Kagawa didn't make sense. VDS needs to come back and coach DDG on what to do for crosses.

How nasty is Rooneys injury is it likely to be ligaments as well as what sounds a bad laceration?

Bad laceration. Just need the wound to heal. Who knows how long? I'd imagine he could play without it fully healed with some protection on it. Minimum 3- 4 weeks maybe but that's just guess work on my part.

They always give it to a player off the winning team even when the best player was on the losing team.

Rooney needs stitches and a tetanus shot but he should by next game imo.

His confidence disappeared after the goal,that last ball that went in I thought he should have came for but left Vidic who struggled to clear which ended up with Fulham getting the chance,no doubt he is a top class keeper but still a work in progress

He made a valid point TBH. The stadium had a few empty seats probably due to the weather more so then anything. No need for the name calling or over reaction to his post.

From the looks of the cut he'll miss the next game or so.That'll take time to heal.

It's possibly because what you said was a lie. For the stadium to be half empty it would need to have a crowd nearer to Anfield for example at full capacity! :pac:

It was 75,352.

Hey Rodger, you wouldn't be Fla by any chance? :cool:

Stadiums half empty

I noticed this near the end, but I'd imagine the majority of stadiums would be at the 95th minute. Traffic can be horrendous round Old Trafford and if people were rushing to the airport to get a place home, then they may have to leave at injury time.

It was half empty or near-abouts when he posted

Jeez this place gets worse every season for being on the defensive.

3-2 up, game on the line and the place is emptying out. Whether it's United or whoever else that's ridiculous. The point was made and doesn't need to be argued against when it's fact.

Rooney out for at least 4 weeks according to SSN.

Looks a lot worse than that. 4-6 weeks for it I'd say

De Gea needs to control his box more.

If it's his ball he needs to declare it. That really annoyed me. He's a decent shot stopper but at times he punches and pushes the ball too many times.

Have to question that. Last week he was absolutely immense against Everton.

This week he makes a mistake, along with Vidic, resulting in a goal, but he also makes numerous good saves including one ridiculous double save to keep us ahead.

All keepers make mistakes as I'm sure you know well. De Gea was far more good than bad today.

The_Kew_Tour

Good win, but very disappointing second half. Kagawa looks the business.

We can thank De Gea for having us more nervous then we should have been, but at same time he made 2 world class saves.

Fantastic shot stopper, one of the best in the league but can still be dodgy on high balls etc.

He's flimsy looking I think, could do with bulking up perhaps.

Well, I imagine he's not making his own assessment, I'm sure he's been told by the doctor or whoever.

Rooney's a football player, he runs about a lot. Having a shít load of stitches in his leg isn't going to help that, he'll have to rest up until the wound is sufficiently healed, the time frame of which can be asserted by just looking at the wound.

I'm sorry, but it's ridiculous how much you complain about him. He hates Liverpool and he loves to wind Liverpool fans up, he's admitted that openly... Why don't you just put him on ignore? It makes absolutely no sense to me.

They're working on his physique already. You need to be careful not to compromise his natural cat like agility though.

Sampling bias is not a very difficult concept to grasp. Clue: is a neutral fan or a United fan more likely to have watched the United game/vote on a poll in the United match thread? Here I can help you if you like:

He was more than decent today and generally has been since Jol took over at Fulham, most things they do on a good day involve him, the guy gets the praise he deserves.

We all know posters of his ilk and they do nothing but bring a very good forum down.

I'm all for rivalry and banter just not window licking derailing wind ups .

Eh? I know you don't need to put him on ignore. But did you know his posts go away if you do?

It's like saying "Argh! I ****ing hate broccoli!" and then cooking broccoli for dinner every night. You think he is bringing the forum down, but there is a way for you to not see his posts... Effectively removing him from the forum.

Alternatively you could just not bite every time. I feel like if someone said "Liverpool suck lol!" you would list reasons why Liverpool do not in fact suck. You can let a few things go man, it's getting tedious reading about how Mr.Sterling is going to do this and that, not only in this thread but in others. My advice would be to bite your lip and wait it out, when do United play Liverpool next? He is defo getting banned then. Sorry Roger, but you are like...

Fair play if you were person who counted all the United and City fans in Manchester and came to conclusion that there is more City. Must have taken ages and few brown envelopes.
