oh but they are! :( it's a requirement (yanks and their need for liberal all-roundedness) and i have already missed the allowed 3! i could actually FAIL!!!
 
why ffs was barthez dancing around in the box?
 
Barthez was so lucky to get away with that feck up coming for a corner - flapping about but not getting the ball, very dangerous situation.

Is it passed your Add/Drop time? If not drop it!
 
The movement for that goal was orgasmic. :)
 
Rudd is the man! 2-0

<img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> This is great!

We're not playing particularly well, but we're taking our chances! 'AVE IT!

Sounds like the good ol' united, that on the break move that is.
 
I hope someone gets an mpg of that goal and posts it up here, I want to watch it again and again. HT.
 
Think it's time to give forlan some time and rest ruud. He needs to get a couple of goals.
 
ok i'm off!

GOOD LUCK LADS!!!

Ruuds been outstanding, not just because of the goals but his general all round play has been great, i knew he'd start scoring again..coz's he's played very well in his las few matches...

Both goals were excellent... especially the first, veron made a great assist and RVN tucked it away with class. :D

Furthemore, we've looked very dangerous from counter attacks.. mainly coz Fabs distribution has been top notch..
 
It feels good to be getting revenge on their own patch. :D <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" /> :cool:
 
Its a good job i dint post how I was feeling looking at the line up before kickoff.

But this system has really worked so far as we seem to be getting goal scoring chances on every break whilst soaking the bayer pocession and hitting em when we win it.

Good distribution play from Barthez so far! He is looking better did drop one ball though.
 
good to see my starting work has again been picked up by the boys in red. Last tiem I started a match thread we won also :D
 
this could be our first win on german soil ever ...

No way. Not when Ruud's on a roll!

2-0 leads can be pulled back.

so humble too. ;)
 
Just played back to back games of footy, and teh half time bath is running. I am knackard. Caught last 15 minutes in car on way back. The lads sound in good shape.

Waiting for replay of 1st goal. Nice work by Veron and decent finish by the sounds of it.

I won both mi games, so I'm on for a nice hatrick (like Ruud eh :D )

Right 10 minutes left to soak my aging legs :(

Ruud is alright, we need to get the others going as well :) for the future.. a little confidence boost wouldn't be bad.
 
Roobs - I put United down to draw 2-2.

I figured that it would be bad luck to put them to win.

So if we lose points it was all in a good cause. :)

After Ruud has got his hat trick! We need his confidence up before anyone else's. Bayer are sure to come at us bigtime in the next half.
 
Newcastle and Lens living dangerously. If things stay how they are they are both going to have to do something exceptional to qualify.

Makes Robson's odds on being the 1st sacked look generous.

4-5-1 works very well away from home... especially in Europe.
 
By the length of his last column, ole uncle georgie is gonna have a hearty breakfast tomorrow. :cool: GET WELL SOON GEORGIE :)

Good to see Bryan Gibb is playing well. :p

i think so, yep. that´s at least what i heard before the cl semi last season.

or was it that weve not beaten a german club at ot?

our record against german teams, bar the cl final, isnt very good.
 
Took 30 mins to get into it I thought but thereafter we were very good - took the chances and looked threatening.
