      United a one-man team
      Jun 23, 2009 03:49:07 pm
      How long have we had to deal with the nonsense from United fans saying we were only a one-man team with Gerrard, then when Torres it was two-man team. Well by their logic we can start calling them a one-man team now that Ronaldo and Tevez are gone seeing as Rooney is the only real game changer in their ranks. And I don't even rate that ugly c**t too highly

      It'll be even better when their only decent centre half (Vidic) sods off to Spain.

      For some unknown reason most Premier League strikers are petrified of him - not next year though if they watch how Torres tore him a new arse at Old Toilet.

      Aye, some teams seemed to bow down to them pair, it will be interesting to see what happens next season definately.

      If the newly promoted teams which play the Mancs first manage to take some points off them that would be fantastic.

      I'm absolutely positive Burnley will, they don't know the meaning of fear nor have they any respect for status. 

      Watched them a few times on tv last season and the only way they know how to play is all out attack, doesn't matter who the opposition is.  And before you all ask, yes they can defend too.

      Don't they play Burnley in August?

      Manure will have huge pressure on them to try and show they can play without Diver Ron, heres hoping that pressure undoes them!

      man utd were a one man diving machine. ronaldo is good but if he wasnt so arrogant and didn't dive as much he could actually be a very good and well respected player. and what makes it worse is that the man u fans actually like their diver. i mean imagine if stevie or torres spent half a game diving and crying at the ref if they didnt get a free kick! id be insistant that they got sold if the didnt change their manners.
      but its the manure fans were talking about so i guess it explains it!

      Well without Ronaldo and Tevez they will be slightly more vulnerable and less attacking, but obviously they do have some undeniably decent players, Park, Ferdinand, Carrick and Ronney but I don't reckon they will all be up to the challenge.

      They still have a strong team. What selling Ronaldo and Tevez has done more is weakened their bench which means the games that are heading for 0-0 or even for a loss, they have less influence on changing it with a sub (which is always Tevez).

      OMG are you guys serious. OK think of it this way, United won the league last year, which means that they beat us... So in saying that Ronaldo was their only good player your saying that he single handedly beat us... And then you lot will be the first people to turn round and say Ronaldo is sh*t and over rated  :f_doh: Think about what you say before you post please I was scratching my head at some of these comments. United have a fantastic team, as they would need to to be able to beat us in the league. Ronaldo is a big loss for sure, but that doesn't mean they won't be challenging next year, some of you guys need to get out of F***ing fairy land and look at what they have. Keeper is dodgy enough yes, Evra is arguably the best LB in the world, Vidic and Ferdinand, arguably the best CB partnership we seen since Hyypia and Henchoz, RB for them, sh*t no doubt about it. Carrick, a ball bag but a decent player, same goes for Scholes and Anderson. Rooney, as much as I hate him, is a fantastic player and anyone with the slightest bit of football know how can see that. Nani is now their other winger which makes me rofl as he may be the worst player I ever seen play for united. Berbatov is not a 30mill player, but still dangerous like it or not. I'm most likely missing someone but I don't really care. Saying that they are all sh*t is a slap in the face to Liverpool Football Club, United are a good team, but next season, we'll be better

      The great thing looking at Manure at the moment is they may have a lot of money 80 mill from Christine and what ever transfer budget they have got, but over the last few years Fergiscum's signing's have not really set the world alight. If anything they have been Poor.

      So if Fergiscum continues along these lines I can see them scrapping it out for 4th place with Man City and I would love to see Man Utd getting knocked into 5th spot by Man City as we won the title that would just be the Icing on a huge F***ing cake for me.

      As for a one man team..... Rooney is a professional footballer with millions in ze bank yet he pays to F**k senior citizens....

      You Can't really call that a man can you ?

      So they are 0 man team for me ;D

      Whoever they get in is gona have to get settled into the premiership and that'll put even more pressure on shrek. All of the replacements being eyed up by Slur Alex seem to be hesitant about moving to England too. Ribery and Benzema are tight lipped and i cannot see them getting Aguero, Villa or Silva either. Shrek will pretty much have to carry them as i can't see reservatov doing anything.

      Great turn of events for us!!  ;)

      If they were a one man team, does that make them minus one now? :P

      In all seriousness though, they have been weakened but underestimating them would be very dangerous. Great turn of events for us, but they still wont be pushovers next season. Im sure Fergiec**t has something up his snotty sleeve.

      I think we should still be very wary of them they lost Ronaldo and Tevez big deal they're nothing compared to world class talent that is macheda I mean I could seriously see him scoring one maybe even two goals in all competitions people need to realise that ferguscum wasn't getting rid of his 'best' players he was just disposing of the dead wood. :P

      They are still a fantastic team, and not a one man team, but now they don't have such a significant impact off the bench to change a game. This could help swing the League in our favour this season.

      Although they have plenty of time to buy another player or 2 to give them that impact off the bench.

      In all honesty I think they will struggle to find any one who will bring to their team what Ronaldo did, lets be honest he me might be a prancing diving fairy but he is a class player and Man Utd will have to find some one with pace who is confident enough to take his man on, be a good passer of the ball a good striker of the ball, a dead ball specialist who can provide 20 + goals a season some one who terrifies the sh*te out of defenses so much so that %90 of their opposition concedes defeat before a ball is even kicked and sets their team out for damage limitation. The lad won footballer of year so he's not sh*te at all, when you look at as a whole what he brought to man uts as an attacking outlet they are some Pretty F***ing Big Boots To Fill.

      Then theres the departing Tevez who also is a class player and offers different attributes to ronaldo but we all his know his strengths and he's a good F***ing player. So obviously Man Utd are a lot weaker and Fergie will be looking to spend again as I stated up there ^^^ in a previous post this does not bother me for now as Fergies history in the recent transfer market has been poor to say the least, I can not think of one signing he's made in the previous two seasons that has lived up to hype his and billing excluding Tevez but he's no longer there and was a loanee.

      Then there is the fact that players he is being linked with Benzema (noises he is making is he wants to stay in france) Ribery (Bayerns come out and said he's staying put they have no wish to sell) Villa (wants to stay in Spain and the only English club he'll play for is us) Silva (again if the player chose to come to england I think our spanish influence would have a bearing in the club he'd play for) Aguero (I hope he doesn't I would hate to have to dislike one of my favorite players).

      If we take these potential signings out of Fergies potential transfers added to the fact he does not want to buy any one over the age of 26 that still leaves plenty of good potential out there for Man Utd to buy but then comes the signings he does make and I will Imagine there will be a few and they will need time to settle in and Gel so hopefully during this point they will drop points as we seen how poor Man Utd were at the start of last season In Ronaldo's Absence.

      Its unfair of us to call them a one man team, But Ronaldo was a major key player for them and he will be a big loss but hopefully along with the other points I have raised we can take advantage of that and hit the ground running amassing as many points on the board as possible to put some distance between us and them. then if we can keep it up for the rest of the season we may just get the elusive 19th, Heres Hoping

      Whats fantastic about Vidic Carrick Nani Oshea etc.Ronaldo won more games on his own than any other player in the league without Tevez and Ronaldo they need to find close to 50 goals a season from somewhere else.They didnt beat us we hammered them twice they had more points than us thats all.Berbatov isnt going to get more than 15 to 20 so who is going to come and get 30 plus goals for them.
