I couldn't see the thread tbf, it's just natural instinct when it comes to threads started by Sparky. Sniffer had no excuse though.

Yes he did the cheeky @#%&!. It just goes to show that Leg SAF is a bit like City. He'll always end up shooting himself in the foot and the rest of us can just sit back and wait for it to happen.

To be fair, he is terrified of balls.

Cyril should step up and take over.

''I feel exhausted and now there are many guys who can emerge from my shadow. For them the moment has come. You should always know when to stop. I haven't discussed it with my club team. I guess it will come out in England and Sir Alex (Ferguson) will call me.''

From doing what exactly?

lazy @#%&!

Adjusting his aliceband
tucking his hair behind his ears
gesturing with his arms
punching the turf in frustration
shrugging

etc...

He means *mentally* exhausted, of course. And there is his problem in a nutshell

He's going to be dynamite nest season!

I think the harsh reality of his situation has finally impressed itself on him. Bulgarian Choccy

Dimitar Berbatov has admitted that he is uncertain about his future at Manchester United after another disappointing season at Old Trafford.

"I'm sure United will buy a new striker - but I am there and that's important," he said.

"In my two years, things could have been better but they could have been worse, too. I have had my moments."

"I have won the title and the Carling Cup but people had great expectations for the money it cost to sign me. We do not know what will happen in the third year."

Sounds like a squatter

'I'm in residence and I'm not leaving the house'

I'd give him one more year. And I reckon he'll improve dramatically.

So there.

48 goals in 74 international appearances

His record is pretty good everywhere he's been.

Just not here.

21 goals in 53 league starts for United

Just going to post that

Not bad tho, his scoring return in the league improved on last year.

09/10 Berbatov 12 league goals, 24 league starts

08/09 Rooney 12 lge goals, 25 lge starts
07/08 Rooney 12 lge goals, 25 lge starts
06/07 Rooney 14 lge goals, 33 lge starts
05/06 Rooney 16 lge goals, 34 lge starts
04/05 Rooney 11 lge goals, 24 lge starts



Rooney 1st 2 seasons 27 lge goals, 58 lge starts
Berbatov 1st 2 seasons 21 lge goals, 53 lge starts


Berbatov zero goals from 11 sub lge apps total
Rooney 2 goals from 16 sub lge apps total

and before you explode into feigned pixel rage Ramone, try and forget the individuals concerned and you'll see that Berbatov's 12 league goals in 24 league starts this season compares very well with the second best attacker in the team over each of the past few seasons. it's a Ferguson's man united thing perhaps?

Yeh but you cant forget all the bloody sitters can you.

He only starts at home to Bolton, Stoke, Fulham and Burnley etc that's why his record looks so misleading.

How many games this season did he start against Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton, City or Villa - There the 14 games where we need our 30m to perform.

Owen, Wellbeck, Macheda or any average striker would probably score a few against the relegation fodder.
