Big game tonight and wenger is all talk beforehand. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8032700.stm As much as i dislike the man i admire his confidence. This, however, will not stop the extra gut laughing his comments will cause in me if they do lose. All in i fancy utd to win 2-1

I had a wee look at the stats before i posted that ajj and i can see where you are coming from. That said even though they have only got two wins in the past five the attitude of the players has been very much never say die and i think this is going to be evident in the game on thursday

In/Out - not sure Prediction - 2-0 utd Pre match - home During Match - listen to radio Post Match - either cry myself to sleep at how pathetic we are or driving round to jutie bastard mates flat to mock incessantly There is a really nice balance to that side. I'd give pawlett a start too, the boy looks rapid and as mentioned in a previous thread got stuck in. I'll be stunned if calderwood actually does it though

Bloody hell i bet that shell scratched on the way back out

I completely agree with what both you and manc have been saying. There is a massive lack of spirit in the side, it was evident before the dunfermline replay but after that its been even more noticeable. Add the fact that players that clearly give a shit like mackie and diamond have been out and that severin is about as inspirational as frozen yoghurt then you can see why we are having problems. Ultimately the buck stops with calderwood, its clear to me he is unable to sufficiently motivate the players which is bloody rediculous given that most of them played in europe last season.

See thats the thing ajja i dont think they are that shaky, not compared to aberdeen at the moment anyway.

He often reminds me of a petulant child in a sweet shop who has just been told that he cant have anything cos he's to fat

I'd LIKE to as well but i dont think we will, we have won only 2 league games since we beat the tims 4-2. Utd winning today in my eyes effectively ends any chance of getting into europe therefore the season is over.

Indeed, dont think anyone could blame you for being shell shocked. Ok Ok TAXI!!

I know the feeling. These last four games are going to be torturous, the only slim hope that we have is getting 3 points at tannadump. Cant see it

The reason i say that JJ is that considines track record of recovering from mistakes is not good. I would have pre empted it by taking him of

I agree with bobby that there is a good CB in there somewhere but i've been very wary of considine since the utd game where he gifted them the winner in the last minute at tannadice. His problem to me seems to be focus. That said for the first goal i did think he was right to go for it, if he had let it go and it had gone in we would have given him pelters as well. Obviously his execution was terrible. After that he was always going to be on a downward spiral and probably should have been subbed at half time.

? Not being wide just curious as to why?

Ouch!!!! Do not envy you those experiences

Boy i worked with once told me of the time he did that and the girl just looked round, not missing a beat, and said "want some lube?" I'm assured he had a good night that night

Have you seen the south park where cartman pretends he has tourettes? You really should

In/Out/Shake it all about - out Prediction - 0-3 tims Pre match - bed During Match - work Post Match - work

Was working and missed the game. just watched the highlights and looked like utd didnt give them a sniff. You would expect arsenal to have a little more backbone but its instantly apparent that they missed arshavin a great deal last night. Not that im complaining, i cant see arsenal being strong enough to score and not concede at the emirates. Barca are still favourites for the other leg as chelsea did hee haw on tuesday, touch wood we might actually get a final with two teams who like to attack rather than counter attack.

i say no. We are playing pish and have been for the past 3 months

He's certainly not going to leave the epl for the bundesliga, could see him going to spain if one of the big boys came in for him

Tin hat on. Snelders Wright Anderson Irvine Mcnaughton Grant Connor Jess Richardson Stavrum Shearer subs leighton Mcleish booth zerouali Aluko Some of these might seem a little contraversial, please note they are not all purely based on ability. Also i've not put in anyone that i havn't actually see play in the flesh

I think the only thing that would worry me about seve leaving is that it would leave us with only 3 senior players that can play centre half. Mair diamond and considine. Mair is not mr consistent nor likely to be available for 1/4 to 1/2 a season going by his injury record at both pittodrie and tannadice. Not that its in any way likely but this would be a cracking time to get anderson back

For me ferdinand has improved greatly in the past few years. My biggest problem with him was he totally fancied himself as the next beckenbauer. Vidic alongside him has been a big part in his improvement but i think as he's matured he's wound his ego in a bit and realised that playing to your strengths is way more important than for your own glory. With regards to vidic and ferdinand being fergies best pairing since miller and mcleish agree, dont think its unfair to put pallister and bruce up there as well though, at least in the same ballpark anyway.

I dont know the geography of aberdeen well enough to comment.
