Shenzhen FC v Manchester United, 23 July 2007, (KO 13.00 BST)

What I like about him is that he's very direct, immediately looks to link up and pass the ball instead of dribbling needless around like Ronnie does sometimes.

Yes, I liked that in him.

Looked good, mind you it is against horrid opposition.

Wesley was robbed.

True, they're a bit crap. Nevertheless, will do him good and his confidence. Needs to get stronger though, for the EPL
 
The ref is unbelievable.

He makes Ruud Whatshisname from the Amsterdam Tournament look like a humble and non-attention seeking man absolutely committed to the integrity of the game.

What a joke. Should be 5-0, especially Wesley's goal.

It is the Chinese Ref Show, guest starring a couple of football teams.
 
i reckon cctv is Japanese channel , whatever it is the commercials are not annoying at all , they dont drill anything into your head.
actually some quality commercials are on now :)

CCTV is the Chinese government's channel.

What the hell are you on about, "they don't drill anything into your head"?

Are you implying the Chinese are some sort of robots or something?
 
I like how Sir Alex has options and switches now:

Setup 1:
-----------Rooney----Striker----------
--Ronaldo-------Giggs------------Nani
---------------DM/Holding------------------------

Switch1:
-----------Ronaldo----Striker----------
------------------Rooney----------------
--Giggs-------------------------Nani--------
---------------DM/Holding------------------------

Switch2:
-----------Rooney----Striker----------
--Nani-------Giggs------------Ronaldo-----
---------------DM/Holding------------------------


etc ... etc ... etc ...

that way, when we come up against another Gatusso we won't be so predictable and can't get shut down so easily
 
Liking Gibson so far, good workrate, good passing. Nani got a nice goal and seemed to grow into the game as the half went on.
 
WOW @ CR7

Roon should score.

That shot off the bar was amazing.

If he has taken that free kick and did that against, say, Blackburn, he would be crucified for glory hunting and shooting, and people would be demanding a free kick specialist (probably Beckham) be signed in January.

Unless it went about 2 inches lower than it did... ;)
