Weekend Football Thread. *spoilers* 22nd-24th

More likely Vidic will leave him crying and wondering while the ball went.



Whilst giving him the death stare.


And eating his children.



Grrrr.

Does annoy me how many corners and free kicks Utd dont make advantage of though - its practically gaurenteed that all corners are a waste of time it seems

Torres easily got the better of him at OT last year, a great player but he is far from perfect

Everyone is entitled to a bad day at the office once in a while - especially against who is probably considered the best striker around in the world at the moment
 
Arsenal vs UTD is looking like a great match next weekend, no doubt it'll be 0-0 :p

Happy with 4-1, just a shame we can't keep a clean sheet at the moment, good start but not getting my hopes up yet.

I feel a little bad for that new Pompie striker, he actually looked sharp, agile, fast and very decent, preseason he looked good, just had no support and no quality around him.

Next week will be very tough to call because, we've yet to be tested and you can't really tell who Fergie will pick. Anderson and Carrick? Scholes and Fletcher? Park or Valencia?

I don't really think theres a team that can easily shut out our offense, but I feel theres a lot of teams that can pressure our midfield into mistakes.

At this stage a win/loss either way doesn't mean all that much, if we get roughed about in midfield and lose the game though, Wenger's already hinted finally, that he's looking for a DM, a loss now might help us more throughout the season than a win.

Quoted for the truth

Hoping Wenger is in the market for someone like De Rossi.

You say that, but I still doubt we'll get any body.

A loss is a loss and it's still early days I do agree with that. We've played cack defences so far and UTD's will certainly not be like that. Neither will their midfield be so easily overcome. We've created lots of chances and scored freely, hopefully we can continue that next week. But I can as said see it being just as likely a game where we fluff up in front of goal, as is normal for us after a scoring run.

Well I'm still not convinced he's ever been after anyone as I've said before I think he's of the firm belief that Denilson and Song are going to be some of the best players in the world.

But the other day he gave an interview where he said he'd been speaking to other managers and everyone is after CB/DM's, he's after one but the fact everyone wants one means they'll be expensive and hard to get. But he seemed to very clearly say we're short on defensive numbers while offensively we have way more players than we need.

For the first time in ages I think he admited flat out we need more defensive players, considering the options for left/right back he's clearly saying we need more central defensive players aswell.

The age old problem being, whose actually available, I've for ages said I don't care if its a 30million player, a 10mil player or a 200k kid who with potential, we need someone.

yay Boro, 4 games, 4 clean sheets and top of the league (for now)

Can I add, I really hope Boro and Newcastle go up this year. Obviously if only 1 can then its Boro, but I really hope we both do well.
