bumping up this article so that hopefully other people will read it.

It’s almost the end of the season, would be interesting to see how people react when they see that this is what united fans were talking about at the start of it.

i am true fan of man united and never get tired when i get talk about the club.But currently i am much dissappointed of fergie’s duty selling goods and simply looking the sky which really making most of the fans to worry about the club and even no one is happy of the current signing.
please,Fergie bring good and critical players that can bring the trouph back to home. Decision is a center for any management and i am waiting for you to bring one midfielder(masherona) and striker either tevezor kuytof holland

U guys r damn hell rite!What’s all this bloody BS that’s goin around that MU’s in a crisis?I agree with u guys that we have been extremely unlucky with injuries to our key players for the past 2 seasons.Even with Ruud out,Rooney was still banging in the goals.We probably need an extra striker but im sure most teams would trade their strikers for ours.Carrick will have to prove himself at MU to justify what SAF paid for his services while Senna looks close to be joinin us as well.Heinze is also back from injury,and would definitely provide more stability to the back line.Hopefully,and i’m crossing my fingers,the english premiership trophy would soon make its way back to Old Trafford.

Good article. I get irritated when we get heckled so much as if we finish in the last 5 every year. We set high standards for ourselves and we get disappointed when we don’t reach them. But new teams take some time to form and people don’t understand that and get too impatient. They should go support Chelski then.

Come on leave fergie alone.the article is right. how could anyone have predicted all of those injurys that we suffered. in spite that all of our midfield was injured we were luckey in a way….
firstly, although everyone was saddaned by the departure of roy keane his brialliant parnership with scholes was coming to an end anyway with scholes slowly turning into a slower player who instead of playing almost as a stricker and then running back to surrport keane, was playing in a deeper role more suited to his age.
next, with giggs ‘filling in’ and then turning into a great attacking midfielder, and o’shea transforming into a decent defending midfielder it gives the likes of richadson, eagles,evans,and pique more of a chance of starting next season.With the signing of carrick and probally senna we have a good mix of midfielders both for the future(carrick,fletcher,jones ect) and for now (Scholes, giggs,o’shea) and with our attack built also with this mix, give it 3 or 4 years and we will have a side that will dominate again!

Great article!!!

I second your statements at the end:
“I don’t like Ferguson for the way he’s treated some of our best players, but the fact is that he’s what we’ve got (just like Glazer is what we have) and at the end of the day, we have to make do with what we have. If the old man knock Chelsea off their fuckin’ perch (as he did to Liverpool), I’ll be the first to bitch-slap every piss-taking United-hater that I see for one whole year.”

Why are people so quick to remember the bad, but fail to remember the good?

People don’t realise that last season we had MAJOR midfield injuries (very unlucky) and the year before that MAJOR defensive injuries/suspensions at crucial times (also very unlucky). I’m sure that if we’re lucky this season – like SAF hopes for – wrt INJURIES and NOT Winning (we don’t need that much luck to win ), then I’m pretty sure we can not only win, but dominate again.

For the past 2 seasons we had to field “makeshift” teams but were still everybody’s only hope of catching Chelsea…. Arsenal was written off early the season already, Liverpool, well, eveybody waited on the clock to strike 12 ‘o clock for the fairy-tale to come to an end, and all the other teams somehow feared playing Chelsea.

I have to say guys, I like the forum a lot. Well written articles and intelligent, well mannered people to discuss them. Some of the other sites just have fans abusing each other depending on the colour of your shirt.

Well done.
