not even built them yet and talking of tearing them down...

internationals over with. really happy with the way the germans brushed aside austria. ozil hat-trick and gotze looking sharp. euro should be ours...
interested to see how united do @ the reebok. if they play as well as they have been, i'll be officialy worried...
only game im really interested in watching is the gunners tho. lets see if they can still play.

That was hardly convincing. Plenty of pretty football but were gifted our goal. Will take it though. Solid debuts by Arteta and Mertesacker.

swansea played just aswell as your boys i thought. crazy goal. about the only way arshavin can score these days.
come on bolton!!!

rishgoon · Sep 11, 2011

Too right. Come on Bolton, and well done Stoke.

ljandkg · Sep 11, 2011

Lol at Bolton! They were terrible. United's pace, reactions to deflections etc they were crazy good.....

City won 3-0, hit the post twice, missed a pen, and a raft of other chances...7-1 woulda been a better reflection....

Golden boot now a 3 horse race....Aguero on 6, Dzeko 6 and Shrek on 8!

I think both City and United are shakier at the back than last year but they are dynamite on attack...when Nasri came on the play of he, Silva and Aguero together was superb.

haha in fairness we have no Rafael, Vidic or a fit Ferdinand..

Chicharito the best poacher in the Prem quite easily i'd say.. We scored b**** goals but Rooney's hatrick goal was amazing!

Still can't figure why the Da Silva twins are only B-listed for Champions League..they seem to be out of favor this season?

Viva Da Silva!
Viva Da Silva!
Running down the pitch
Don't know which is which
Viva Da Silva!

Anyway, good performance against Bolton. Another Rooney hat-trick and Chicharito with a brace on his first full game back. The quality of the goals wasn't word-class, but a goal's a goal and United deserved the goals despite Bolton having their fair share of chances. Loved Wazza's stats - 3 shots, 3 shots on target, 3 goals. 0 fouls, 0 offside. Legend.

Fixed that for u......

Warney · Sep 11, 2011

he kept a clean-sheet did he not? Statistically he's been better than Hart!

sgt_pepper · Sep 11, 2011

yeah, i wouldnt call him shaky. id say hes doing awesome considering the age of the back line hes got to support. and they say he cant catch crosses, but ive not seen him drop one?!
united will win it. its at a point where i cant stand watching them because i know theyll win but i cant look away because theyre actually playing nice football. the derby should be the best one in decades...should be.

Do u want to get into goals conceded etc and stats?? United have let in how many goals? 3?, how many cos of De Gea? 2? Hart's not been directly responsible for any of City's 4 conceded.
I'm not the only person in the world who's saying he's shaky so don't get yr panties in a bunch with me...

Bit touchy on that Warney??

Can u blame their backline for the West Brom dribble past him goal? Or the Arse one that went thru the large gap between his legs... sure their backline is young etc but 2 out of 3 goals came from basic keeping errors...

sgt_pepper · Sep 11, 2011

/\/\ hes a little slow thats all. wont take long for him to pick it up...
hes kept 2 clean sheets aswell as those errors.

Ok so we'll forget about the errors.

True - he's not been shaky!

And I've forgotten about the Charity shield errors too.

sgt_pepper · Sep 11, 2011

well every keeper makes errors...? hes made a couple of nice saves aswell. would you call vorm shaky because of his error last nite? and that was a game loser. and a real error.
its probably just semantics. what you call shaky, i call inexperience. one of them can be fixed.

Warney · Sep 11, 2011

as the commentators said last night on ESPN.. De Gea has only received criticism for errors and shakiness.. but where's the credit for the world-class saves he has pulled off?

Unfortunately true.

De Gea has pulled off some stunning saves this season, and just because he hasn't adapted 100% to English football straight away he's got a bad rep?
