Michael Carrick yesterday

you're the one talking %@#$&!S...as usual

if Carrick scored a hat-trick in tghe FA Cup Final you'd still say he was shit

he has been the best signing any club has made this year and he is one of the main reason why we will win the league only an idiot would doubt his ability

I though Carrick had a good game too, quietly effective.

I had him in the running for MoM, along with Ferdinand and VDS.

Ah. I see.

I think that is the key "quietly effective" neither he or GP are showy players - we still need a tackler in the midfield equation for next season though.

If Ferdinand was "immense", that just shows what a shambolic, uncompetitive league the Premiership has become. Ferdinand is half the player that Steve Bruce was.

Bruce was fantastic...Ferdinand is a totally different style of player and the best centre-half in Europe when he plays like he did yesterday and like he has in a lot of games this season


it all started when he got his hair shaved

cheers wez. which bit do you mean?

I really want Ronaldo to score up there - hopefully the winner from a dodgy pen

What's the surprise? He's a quality footballer.

And I want Ronaldo to score just to ram it down Southgates neck

Well yeah exactly mate.

I thought Tropical was saying it was a surprise, but turns out he was just saying he was wrong so fair enough really. It's only words

He played well, outshone Alonso.

Scholes was magnificent first half, was a joy to watch.

Ridiculous statement. Completely different players.

The liverpool midfield was shit. They closed us down well and pressured the ball, but once they had possession, they created £#%&! all. I can't remember one good passage of creative play from their midfield. gerrard, sisoko and alonso were £#%&!ing anonymous, just as they were at OT earlier this season. Garbage, wouldn't take any of them over Carrick or Scholes

just to make that your sig, old boy?



Then the rest of us wouldn't have to point out what different players they are every time.

Man u could be on a downward slide in the next couple of years i think.
Neville=past it
Ronaldo=will leave
scholes=only 2 more decent seasons in him at most
Giggs=same as scholes, will start to lose pace over next couple of years
rooney=not been world class for a while now
carrick=not good enough
ferguson=will leave in a couple of years
