So since when did a thread on 1 of the hottest young strikers in Europe turn into a discussion on how other men jump?
Since a guy up there tried to defy the laws of physics.

Since a guy up there tried to defy the laws of physics.
You know if you walk far enough in one direction you'll eventually fall of the edge of the Earth!
Got a feeling he'll score today. As the game opens up, it'd suit to have his pace through the middle.
Dunno why I'm so confident, probably the booze.

Are you a wizard?
i love him
Love the guy. I want him to start matches. Simple as that. I hope Fergie can find a place for him so he doesn't see too much of his career just on the bench.
I predicted a winner from him too. He should get more starts. Man I love this guy.
How many match winners is that for him now?
He's brilliant, I love the way he plays the game and I love his attitude.
What this guy has in abundance and is something that is hard to learn is bottle. He will score really important goals and decide lots of games. Great attitude. Can't wait till he gets stronger and starts improving his on the ball play. Going to be a class player.
He's the new Solskjaer
Always a chance with him on the bench I feel. Like a certain recently departed Norwegian.
Profact: Half of the goals he has scored have been winners.
Theres only one Solskjaer. I don't think Hernandez is going to accept scoring match-winners and then sitting on the bench for the next 5 games. Players want to start matches.
During the summer people moaned about us not addressing our deficiencies, but Hernandez is the difference between this and last season's squad. He could well be the difference between winning and losing the title.
incredible stat
Could well be heading for a start in our next game.
Berba/Cheech frontline. Not too shabby.
Well Rooney's injured now so maybe he'll get his chance.
I came in here to say exactly this.
As a striker he really makes a difference for us. That's the least we can expect from him. Deserved to be the matchwinner today and if Rooney's injured he should start the next game.
Excellent header today, he has fantastic aerial technique and is so lively when he comes on.
Chicha plays down Ole link
Sir Alex likened Javier Hernandez to Reds legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after the Mexican’s late winner at West Brom, although the young forward was quick to play down the comparison.
“It’s great to hear and it’s good motivation for me, but I know I need to work a lot to be like him,” Hernandez told MUTV.
The manager's comments are understandable. After all, both Solskjaer and Hernandez arrived at Old Trafford as relative unknowns, both scored on their Reds debuts and both make finding the net look remarkably easy.
Chicharito is even earning a reputation as a super-sub, a tag Solskjaer made his own during his 11 years as a United player. Nobody has scored more goals for the Reds off the bench than Ole (28), although if Hernandez continues his incredible strikerate – Saturday’s header against West Bromwich Albion was his fifth in 12 substitute appearances – he’ll surely challenge that record.
For now, though, the 22-year-old is just happy to play his part as the Reds seek to regain the league title.
“The win [at West Brom] was very important,” he said. “We knew it would be difficult but we’re very happy because we’ve started the year with a victory.
“They did well to score and they had another opportunity with the penalty kick. They missed, which was good for us because we knew we could go on and win the match.
“If they scored we would have been a goal down and that would have been more difficult.”
Instead, Peter Odemwingie scuffed his shot and the ball trickled wide of the goal. Less than 15 minutes later, Hernandez popped up to head United in front and secure the points.
“I remember I was near the goalkeeper, Wazza crossed the ball, I moved towards it and headed it into the goal. It was nice to celebrate in front of our fans.”
Chicharito’s goal capped a memorable festive period for the Mexican, who, despite only playing 38 minutes of the Reds’ last three fixtures, described this Christmas as the best he’s ever had.
“It’s been different for me but I’m very happy,” he said. “This has been the best Christmas – I’m here with all my family and I’m playing with Manchester United.
“Now it’s important to get three points against Stoke at home [on 4 January].”

I thought the club would know better than to call him Chicha...
Hernandez now enters the top 200 goalscorers for the club and needs 15 more to break into the top 100. I'm betting on a top ten finish by the time he joins ######.

Happy New Year Chico!
Javier Hernández has equalled Guillermo Franco’s record for most #EPL goals by a Mexican player.
His attitude is very refreshing. Has already scored 8 goals this season which is excellent considering the season is only half way.
I loved when he raced back from an attacking position to the midfield and retrieved from a WBA player.
I'm convinced SAF has found his Mexican Solskjaer.
That's what his family/friends call him. It's not the same as chica if that's what you mean.
It really is invaluable to have a player like him on the bench.
Yeah Chico!

I'm sorry. I like Hernandez but I do not see too many outstanding traits in him. Today I was delighted he scored the winning goal, but his touch and link-up play let him down on numerous occasions.
I am more excited about Welbeck. He can become a complete modern forward.

His goal against Chelsea was to make it 2-0 was it not
At least he doesn't make no look passes.
Great little finisher, brilliant movement, but he's very raw so we'll need to be careful with him. His alll-round game is still a bit short but he's learning all the time and he'll only get better from what I've seen. The important thing is not to raise expectations to the silly level of a few months ago when people were saying he should be starting ahead of Rooney.
Corrected it.
Hernandez has scored both our winners in the 2 away games we have won this year.
