Newcastle United vs. Manchester United

Looking good but lets not forget the 2-2 result last season.

Whatever happened to Newcastles hero on that occasion anyway? The fullback who got the equaliser?
 
Nani has to have a strong case for being a 1st team regular on his last few performances. A midfield of the below has to be our best of current form and also it looks well balanced.

ronaldo--anderson--carrick--nani
 
Good performance so far. Carrick and Nani are cementing their place in the first team. I reckon we'll get a few more in the second half (and hopefully a bit of Anderson magic too :) )
 
Only part Ronaldo lacks in his game is defending. If he defends like Nani, Park or even Rooney he'll be no.1 player in the world imo. Needs the work rate cuz the No.1 player in the world doesn't need to save stamina for attacking. He has to be able to run the whole match with both Def + Att.

:rolleyes: I don't remember Zidane or Maradona being particularly helpful defensively... nor Kaka or Messi...

oh bullshit!!!!

when did you ever see kaka track back, nonsense!
 
Nani has played well, but the ease at which he goes down is embarrasing, sort it out Fergie.
 
Hope saha comes early on and gets some minutes under his belt

dude.....feck off
 
But last time it was 1-0 1-1 2-1 2-2. It's hard to overcome us when we have a 2 goal lead.

Yeah but just one mistake and you're in the 2-1 scenario and Newcastle push forward remembering last seasons result.
 
decent performance. What a difference it makes when we actually start passing rather than hoofing it up to Rooney like in Europe.

To be fair, Newcastle defense is as shit as they come.

Carrick has been great as has Nani. Rooney has misplaced a few passes, Ronaldo has been involved about 2 times and has scored one and set up one. VDS is having one of those days like he did at Anfield this season.

More of the same please.
 
Just got off the phone and when i went back it is 2 nil, what a fecking day hoooray

United weren't up 2-0 last season and Rio didnt have a New Years hangover :lol:
 
not even close

this game is far from done, Newcastle showed enough first half to worry us.

They get the next goal and it's game on

EXACTLY! There's too many people in these threads who don't know yet how football will kick you in the teeth when you think you have it licked.
 
Newcastle is taking off Given at half time
Good one Keegan!

David Edgars is unable to get a game and they wouldn't let him go on loan to the Championship.
