Tackles, balls and Seaman - The footie thread

[Jamie]

What a boring game Villareal-ManU ! But I like Alan Smith more and more in the defensive midfielder position!

Yeah, very poor, I agree about Smith, despite what all the experts are saying, I think Ferguson knows more about his players, and hell even football than they do. However I do think Smith will take time to improve enough to fill the position in the long term. Last night we were leaderless and looked like a pack of headless chickens.

pity he plays with two crap teams

England and Real Madrid

Crap managers, not teams

with the players them teams have, you cant put all the blame on the managers

I can...and do

Uuuu, Everton got hammered tonight!!! And unfortunately by the team I hate the most in this whole world, Dinamo Bucharest

[Danny Top Hat]

Heh, so much for Everton in europe.

Heinze is goin to be out for most of the season

Heinze is goin to be out for most of the season?

Serious? I still haven't heard an update on that til now, that'll be a huge blow for us, he is, in my opinion, the best defender we have, and was sorely missed when he was out last season.

Heh, so much for Everton in europe.

Who the fffuck are you?

Aye, Everton in Europe...Alas.

7 wins out of 7 for the mighty Heart Of Midlothian. Sitting eight points clear at the top of the league.

Champions League here we come!!

Would love to see them win the league, just so i could convince myself the Scottish league isn't a as big a joke as i know it is

Two teams pull in 50k a week and all the others teams in the Scottish leagues don't have 50k fans between them in the whole world.....

hearts had 300,000 lining the streets of edinburgh last time we won the scottish cup back in '98. When you consider liverpool (one of the biggest clubs of all time) drew half a million for winning the european cup it ain't that bad. (i do ofcourse know your comment was tongue in cheek).

roy keane broke a bone in his foot, hes gonna miss about 2 months?

I'd say that was good news for Man Utd - Keane was over the hill years ago....

im afraid youd be very much mistaken, you do remember at anfield last year when he played gerrard of the field??

and anyway, im more worried bout him missin Ireland's WC qualifyer

[MadmanDan]

Why do Man United players always get injured a lot?? Seems like every season a few key players are always injured..you don't see that at other clubs.

Are you serious?! Did you see them against Villarreal without him?! They are all over the kip without him, although he is not as techinacally gifted as he once was, he is still a huge presence and inspiration to his players, he is still their leader on the park.

Yep i am serious - he's so far over the hill he's at the bottom on the other side

Old, slow and still unable to tackle properly

[Shoco]

well you obviously know better than professional footballers that say otherwise, please excuse my ignorance

Yes...because they are bastions of intellectual prowess

Well, how come both club and country still rely on him greatly? He is a natural born leader, and as long as he has the desire to play he will be a world class player.

With his injury history and work rate, he's done well to last this long at Man U.
