Manchester United v Juventus

Del Piero is so classy, both as a player and as a person.
 
Great Words From Del Piero, Pure Class.

Would have been great if we had singed him in the summer when juve were relegated.

he admitted himself that it almost happened but decided to stick with juve in the end
 
the timing is just so wrong 4 days before our biggest game of the season, its crazy......
 
BBC Sport - In-depth interview: David Beckham on Manchester United

Great radio interview from Beckham talking about tomorrows testimonial ..... even I have mellowed out on him!

Will be so wonderful to see Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Schloes, Nicky Butt, David Beckham and Phil Neville all in the same team. Magic. What a generation who did themselves, their parents, Manchester United and other clubs they all played for more than proud.

How many games did they play for the club in total> i would guess its something like 3200+ games .... anyone want to do the maths?

Will be at the game and really cant wait.

Gaz 602, Giggsy 875, Scholesy 675, Butt 387, Becks 394, Phil 386.

That's 3319.


:drool::drool::cool: , I was very close. Pretty chuffed with my guestimate!!

A shame Becks, Butt and Philip Neville made it to 400, for statistical niceness. Its crazy to think Giggs will surpass 900 next year :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Remember back to Moscow when every body was speculating if he'd even beat Sir Bobby's record, which he has now smashed. 900 games for Manchester United in a period when they were the best club in that land on one of the top 4 teams in the world. Its just an astonishing feat and will never ever be repeated again.

In comparative terms vs other sports, Id say that Giggs is a grater sportsman than Tendulkar, Federer or Tiger Woods.
 
might as well as tell buffon not to board the plan back to turin and give him a kit for the 2nd half in our shirt to try it on!

As for del piero....legend, would've fit us perfectly.
 
Juve Squad v MUFC: Buffon, Storari, Manninger; Motta, Chiellini, Barzagli, Traore, Bonucci, De Ceglie, Sorensen,Melo, Salihamidzic, Marchisio, Aquilani, Pepe, Martinez, Krasic, Giandonato, Boniperti; Del Piero, Toni, Matri

Is it wrong that I'm disappointed with this? I fancied a few of the old boys to come in and play.

Nevermind, I'm looking forward to it anyway.

Some other former player will join them (Inzaghi, Zidane, Nedved?, Davids?)

On the previous page you posted the line-ups full of ex-players which "probably" above it - which is clearly not true.. Now you say for sure there will be Juve ex-players.. Do you actually know what your talking about or are you posting shite?

I did some supposition...take it easy

This x2.

It was a bit misleading. As is your post above about veterans/former Juve players joining in.

I do think its great that they're bringing a strong squad (rather than current reserves), but I just hoped for some of the lads from the 90's/early 00's, I suppose.
 
Anyone know who the confirmed ex-players for Utd are?
 
I'm pretty sure it will be Juventus current squad vs United current squad + Phizza, Beckham, Gary and Butt.
