Who do we want ?

We've played them once already, we know what they are about, and we WILL NOT make those same silly mistakes again!

Deportivo for me please! <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

They know too what we are about.

Don't forget that the day Fab made those silly mistakes, he ALSO made several outstanding saves, so this game was not easy at all for us.

Panathinaikos would be the easiest team to beat IMO.
 
Let's not become Barthez apologists for the Depor game at OT. Fab cost us big time.
 
Give me Deportivo, if they are that good we will have to beat them at some point anyway - why not now! <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

You load of cowards! <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />

He cost us nothing at that game because eventually we went through. It's history now. It's not because he made some mistakes that we can't say he also made some good saves.
And he has played his part in our qualification for the quarters.

Anyone with one eye could recognize that he cost us at least one point that night. Half of this site wanted him sacked FFS. :mad:

He's done relatively well since then, but he was culpable on that night.

Easy to say from your armchair...
:rolleyes:
 
Maybe that's the difference between me and most of you, I'm not scared of loosing (to the Poo would be bad, but hey we are used to it), and if we think that we can win this, let's put it to the test - a re-match, revenge, COME ONE! <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

If we loose, so what, it just means we were not good enough to win the trophy, and we dont deserve to win the trophy! CMON! <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

It would also take out a major opponent when we beat them! :)

Two great games to watch too! :D

It cost us three, the goalkeeper acting like a clown, and a defender called Wes Brown!

Ok, he made good saves that night, and he would have been praised to hell if he and his sidekick had not made two major gaffs! <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />

In the past yes, but we should really have got 1 point away and three at home. We can beat Deportivo! <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />

Culpable, culpable, I suppose you never made a mistake in your life ? Those who wanted to sack him are stupid, happily Fergie is more clever and know you can't judge a player on a few games.

would you defend him if he raped and killed a girl?

C'mon Elfie, just admit it. Fab made some critical mistakes that night. Don't be another 007. <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" /> <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

Why when a keeper misses a pass, he is called a clown, and not a midfielder who misses a pass or a striker who sends a ball 10 metres above the bar ?
:mad:

Nowt to do with it! <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />

I really think they would be the better opponents to have at this stage!

Remember 1999 - Inter and then Juve, where as all the fear come from all of a sudden?

And as for those voting to get the Poo, good god, let them have a major European team and they will be out of it! Let's wait until next season to sort them out in the league! Even if they do get past the QFs, we can stuff them then, but I want us to play the best in Europe, not a team 60 miles down the M62! <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />

Bring on Deportivo! <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />
 
agreed about pool ... playing teams you play twice a year anyway in europe takes the buzz out of it

Who cares now, as we went through ?


If Fab read what's written on forums, he would be digusted and I don't think he would praise the supporters anymore.

And to compare some errors with the rape of a little girl is just stupid.

:mad:

That night he acted like a clown twice! Simple! I love the guy to bits, but I am objective enough to say that he is not superhuman and made a right cockup that night (he lost his concentration). Unlike yourself who is being totally subjective right now and defending him no matter what, probably due to some strange female emotion you might towards him! ;)

do you support united or fabien barthez? honest answer please
 
Elfie, calm down! All we are trying to say is that we lost to Deportivo the last two times because of mistakes in one match where Gary Neville played their striker onside, and in the other one where Barthez and Brown made two serious mistakes that lead to them scoring two goals.

As you say, that was a long time ago now, and we are in a much better state now than we were then, whereas, Deportivo were a significant distance in fron of Real Madrid and playing very very well, where as now they are playing very shakily.

This means, WE CAN BEAT THEM, because if it wasn't for some basic and human mistakes in the last two games we played, we would have beaten them then even with our defence playing much much worse than it is now!

BRING THEM ON! <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

This is at least the third time you ask me this question ! I've always said that I wanted to see Fab in Manchester ! He was linked with Milan and I didn't want him to go there !
 
BTW, I never mentioned Deportivo as a possible opponent in previous threads, as I really did think that they would win the group and Arsenal would come second!

Now it's a different story!

UNITED ARE GOING TO LA CORUÑA, LA CORUÑA, LA CORUÑA, UNITED...... :o

admit it, we lost the game cos of him and he was a major reason for our poor form early in the season ...

I've become a fan of him not because I said to myself "oh, how sexy he is !" but because I do love the way he plays, the risks he takes (and in the past, it worked) and his personality on the pitch.
Anyway he must be the most criticized player here so he can have someone to defend him.

i dont like goalies or defenders that take risks

i must admit i usually piss myself laughing when it works, but i wouldnt mind having a less controversial keeper

gary neville
seba veron
phil neville
nicky butt
mickael silvestre

i defend players when i think they are attacked without a reason, but the attacks on fabien had a reason
 
Why not just admit he made a mistake, without accusing other posters of being against him. To err is human. ;)

I would be the saddest person on earth but I would still support him, because I wouldn't forget what he has done previously .

I'm not obsessed with results, victory. I want to see a good show.

Fabien's problem was not his football,but his head. He lost his concentration because he had personal problems, this is why I don't want to blame him. Ferguson knew that.

Sounds like you're blaming Fergie for Barthez's gaffs on the pitch. <img src="graemlins/annoyed.gif" border="0" alt="[Annoyed]" /> <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />

It's a totally different issue, but, well, yes, rat up a drain pipe is the phrase that comes to mind! :D
 
Elfie, nobody give a shit now that he made two major mistakes that lost us points, as it doesn't matter. It doesn't change the fact though!

The thing is that right now he's back to his old self, and if that was the case then, we wouldn't have lost to Deportivo! The scousers all think that Deportivo are better than us because of that and all wanted to avoid them, but it just wasn't true. We lost because of three cock-ups, and ones we wouldn't make now! WE WOULD WIN NOW, because.......


WE'RE THE BETTER TEAM! <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />

Now it's time to show the world that fact! :D
