If he was born in T20 era, he'd have dominated that too, even though I'm not sure if he could continue to be the legend as he was throughout his career, because these days money gets into players head and they don't perform throughout the career like Brian, Sachin, Ricky, Jacques etc. used to do.

Very cautiously optimistic... Probably because it has been long since we have had a good run of games. Big opportunity for us to rally on! Common Devils!!
390 runs in a day he got. Crazy, teams don't score that combined.
Brian Lara masterclass was on earlier, the way he could hit the same delivery to 3 different areas, amazing
Line ups in 15-30 mins?18 minutes for the team to be announced. Butterflies, excitement and some nerves.
This is huge, massive for us, with Liverpool slipping (LOL) up yday and either/or both City and Chelsea to drop points. Come on United!!!!If we want to do anything this season, then these are the most important games. Liverpool have dropped points, one of City/Chelsea (maybe both) will drop points. It's a must win.
How I would love to see Januzaj instead of Mata. Nothing against Mata, but I always love young players, even in FIFA I'm always like that, my average squad age in FIFA has never been more than 25, lol.I am certain we are going to drop points
Mata is almost the complete no.10 -- Januzaj has a long way to go before he displaces a player like Mata.
it's a rivalry that stems historically between the 2 cities. Amsterdam is like that old school guy that keeps to tradition and principles..... Rotterdam is that modern cool kid. modern life style high rises etc.... The 2 cities have been rivals for years. it's about success, politics everything
I never said Mata is poor, but it's just that I always love seeing the development of youth players, I have some sort of fetish about youth, lol.Big game.. lay down a proper marker.
Nup, 0-3 win.
I wouldnt be mad if Adnan got his chance today but Mata is in great shape.I think we'll beat them, and we'll do it comprehensively. We'll need to take the game from the start.Taking the lead is a must, if we do I can see us push on and score more.Think we'll have too much firepower for them, just worry about us defensively. Will be interesting to see Rojo at CB, if Shaw starts.Nervously waiting on the line upOn the back of last week's shellacking of a woeful QPR, and in the wake of a shopping spree that has been the envy of most of Europe, the Dutchman this week cast aside any fears of complacency going into today's game at Leicester.
"I have analysed them three times," he said. "I prepare all my matches very thoroughly. I know all about the games they have played already and the game they lost to a minor team [Shrewsbury] in the Capital One Cup.
"I know everything about the team, about individuals, substitutes, what the atmosphere will be like in the stadium, how they take free-kicks, everything."
He even knows how to get off that ring road near the ground. The man is a genius.The deadline passed for my team submit about 15 seconds before I posted it at 11.30 so I'll post it here to torment myself if I get it right:
DDG
Rafael - Smalling - Evans - Rojo
Blind
Herrera - Di Maria
Mata
Rooney - Van Persie
Subs: Falcao, Shaw, JanuzajLads why are we talking Brian fecking Lara in a matchday thread?
You beat me to it
Swedish reporters leak again
Feels different to last year though, all the new players and the winning mentality seems to be back. We don't rely on the Valencias, Youngs, Fletchers, Cleverleys et al. anymore, we now have Rojo, Di Maria, Blind, Falcao, Shaw, Blackett, all not part of last year's shambles. I'm confident.Uh oh...3-5-2Hope that lineup isn't true. Will be gutted for Mata.
Rooney CAM RVP and Falcao up from
Swedish reporters leak again
So cause I think my team, one of the best in England shouldn't have a problem against a newly promoted side I don't follow football, seriously. My attitude is one of confidence not arrogance like the red shite take into games.Unchanged XI and the diamond again. Excellent.
Edit: Idiot me. Mata out, Falcao in. Tough call by LvG!
Legend! Also, a big mate of Yorke and no doubt a United fan. Most welcome in this forum hahaSo Mata on the bench? Bit harsh considering his form.FALCAOReally excited for this game! I hope Falcao will be starting today instead of RvP. Would like to see Shaw starting as well.
Blackett Rafael Evans and Rojo. How is that a 3 5 2
No Mata?
Swedish reporters leak again
RVP undroppable ?
He could come on later for RVP.
That's the spirit!Very harsh, but at least we get to see Falcao
For some reason I thought Rojo will be CB and Blind as LB.
You're right. Where the hell is Shaw though?- Status
