OK Guys, Quick question/poll. I was thinking how to raise 1 Billion pounds. Basically either we get some oligarch in, or it is going to be very difficult. Not that many people have that sort of money and frankly I would rather not be owned by one rich individual, ala Chelsea. So just to work some basic maths, I worked...

Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has pulled out of Northern Ireland's friendly against Albania tomorrow.

Who better to see our weak spots than the people who watch the team every week?

If any? Would you concentrate on Rooney...

Feel free to merge this into one of the other threads but I thought it deserves one of it’s own. With the ever increasing evidence that the Red Knights are preparing a bid for the club and providing they are the owners the club needs right now I think the issue of a boycott will become more important.

Seing Evra lifting the cup yesterday made me think about Gary Neville. He has missed out on quite a few occations, when the team has won stuff, to actually get to collect the trophee. I wonder why he didn´t get to do it yesterday

We have seen two of our centre backs done for pace this season. Vidic got skinned yesterday by Agbonlahor and Rio got merked by Bellamy at Old Trafford earlier in the season. Its fair to say that Agbonlahor and Bellamy are two of the quickest in the league and very few centre backs could keep up with them, so its...

This whole Vidic thing? Let me get this straight..the rules are if the striker is denied a goalscoring opportunity and he is the last man he goes AND the team get a penalty. Surely the penalty gives them the goalscoring opportunity so why the double whammy. It appears the real reason that Martin and co are yapping about it so...

Wayne Rooney is the best player in Europe at the minute

Seems a wee bit strange that Rooney is still taking corners given his much improved heading ability and United's lack of potency in this area of the game. Maybe some statto will prove me wrong but I've always thought United have been particularly poor with attacking corners. Just an observation :devil:

9EwBaEa3oGA :lol: Rooney

After today's win, I think that's correct isn't it? Hats off to the "REAL Special One". His statue will stand tall & proud outside Old Trafford some day. :keano:

Whats the general opinion on him getting the captaincy full time once Gaz retiers? Obviously Rio is the favourite but with his constant back injuries I personaly think it would be better for it to be given to Evra and I think Fergie is considering this due to him being ahead of the likes of Fletch/VDS/Rooney/Vidic etc in the captain...

Well, has he got it now? What I mean is once Ronaldo got that aura we had already beaten teams just with him on the pitch. I think Rooney has got that about him now. Not only blessed with outstanding skill and goal scoring ability but now a reputation and opposition fear factor about him. You can just see it...

As above Does winning another trophy today put us in top spot? I think we were already tbh, but can't be bothered checking

Anyone care to create a gif of the goal? Fantastic goal, deserved to be seen again and again.

Two scousers win the cup for United. Shall I slash my wrists now? ;) RAWK must be having a field day Rooney and Owen score the goals, and the ref. doesn't send Vidic off.

This combination deserves an own thread. Brilliant interplay between the three of them, pure sex :drool:

I only say that because both the United forum and the Matchday forum are pretty dead on this. It's a cup final! If we win it then we're one ahead of the rest and another trophy in the cabinet. Never be too arrogant to think that we'll win another one in a couple of months or next season. Look at...

Well then?

Wolves away Fulham home Liverpool home Bolton away Chelsea home Blackburn away City away Tottenham home Sunderland away Stoke home So what exactly are we worried about? The only worrying one on that list is City, and if we need the win then I'd back us to go there and get the result. Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea all at OT...

Hello Reds anybody know of Australian or British pub where i can watch the game in General Santos City in the Phils Cheers

Rooney and Valencia are starting to prove a lethal partnership. Valencia is providing the perfect balls for Rooney to fire in the goals.

Right, got two tickets with entrance D that i'll be using, got a mate who goes in entrance E, do both entrances lead to the same concourse or not? I have it in my head that they do, but if anybody knows it'll be a great help :) Cheers

That's how the hacks are reporting it this morning, in the aftermath of another two-goal haul for Wayne.

It struck me tonight after seeing Rooney score two with his head how rare it is to see a player consciously work on one of the weakest parts of his game, and bring it to the point where it's a huge weapon in the big games. I'm not sure of the figures so far, but he must have scored in...
