I know Smalling & Evans are injured ..but where's Phil Jones?
Is he injured too?
What are our RB options other than Rafael? - our new 'Number 7' obviously:shakehead:

*commenting on a guy with hair just longer than the base of his neck.

"I bet they didn't have hair bands in your day Pat?!" ..."They certainly didn't have haircuts like that!"

Yeah, there were no players with long hair in the 60s & 70s
These crazy 21st century kids with their unkempt manes.

Its just an opportunity for the usual suspects to have a moan; its pre season ffs who's £#%&!ing bothered.

Valerenga :shakehead: Played a friendly with 10 men behind the ball, shitehawks. Their fans will be pissed.

I know, mostly reds in the crowd anyway.

A joke of a club.

Take heart, we were bloody good last pre season.

How the £#%&! did we not score, FFS??

Oh, and sorry to upset a certain Fredster, but Rooney was £#%&!ing awful :shakehead:

Wasn't as bad a match as the score line suggests.

I thought Scholes, Carrick and Welbeck looked sharp and Vidic looked good while he was on.

Rooney is a bit of a worry as his touch and passing is still off. It doesn't help having him play the number 10 role as that puts alot pressure on him to be the creative hub of the side which he isn't good at.

shock horror

he's probably been doing a £#%&!ing Ricky Hatton since Euro 2012 finished, smoking and eating pies.

Young didn't pull any trees up either (re the "discussion" on the other thread )

Still, I agree that our performances thus far haven't been as bad as the scorelines have suggested......

how did rooney's hair look?

I'm not really concerned with how they are playing atm tbh. It's been an odd pre-season, really.

immaculate, no actually that was the pitch, his hair looked shite

Like the rest of him, then

Kagawa looks the real deal, though. Just have to worry about our medical team getting their hands on him now

That was 2008/09, wasn't it??

The previous year was when we let Rossi go just before it began, and then had a huge striker crisis just weeks into the season

Can't be as bad as Benitez, selling Crouch, Bellamy, Cisse & Morientes, then selling Keane in January, and in May saying they'd have won the league if they had a striker to ease the burden on Torres

Don't remind me.
