'halfway' point, 2 points behind chelsea. we always play lights out down the stretch. in a good position to get the 4 peat.

Giggs named Sports Personality of the Year (BBC)


BBC Sport - Sports Personality of the Year - Giggs reflects on his prestigious career

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (W @ Hull 3:1 | v Wigan 12/30) ***

Vs Wigan

Nemanja Vidic, Wes Brown and Ryan Giggs were among those to make their comebacks in that match.

Head-to-head
• Manchester United have won all 10 previous matches against Wigan, scoring 30 goals.
• The reverse fixture ended in a 5-0 away victory for United in August, when Wayne Rooney scored his 100th goal for the club and Michael Owen added his first.
Man Utd
• United are the only team not to have dropped any points from a winning position in the Premier League this season.
• They have the best record in the division against bottom-half opposition, winning nine games out of 10.
• If selected, Michael Owen will be making his 400th appearance for an English club.
• If Paul Scholes scores he will become the 18th player to score 100 goals in the Premier League.

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

something tells me we get a good 3 goals today. wigan always allows goals, esp away. last time we played them we were good for 5.

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

berbatov cut off the long locks. hopefully it can have the opposite effect that it had on samson.

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

great flick off a rafael cross, rooney finishes it 1-0 in the 29th


much of the play has been in the final 1/8 of the field. we are just dominating atm.

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

another great cross/combo work up the field. valencia takes it down the wing and puts it back up the box to a trailing carrick who slots it low in the far corner for the 2-0 lead. 2-0 32".

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

one of the happiest goals of the season for me


rafael takes a ball floating aroudn the arc and with his back towards the goal, makes almost a 180 and puts it far corner. 3-0 45'

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

halftime, we are already up 3-0. feels good.


after scoring Rafael immediately ran towards the bench, pointing to fabio, really cool moment.

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

'back problems' for kirkland. pollitt (was once on Utds roster) comes in at the half between the pipes.

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

that goal vs arsenal last year was his GOAT.

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

i must have 85% of the posts in this thread. come on people



berba takes a ball inside of 10 yards and puts it to the corner with the outside of his foot IIRC. 4-0 in the 50' we have hit the post since then.

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

Welbeck in for berbatov
Fabio in for Evra
Anderson in for Vidic (carrick swaps from CM to CB)

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (v Wigan 12/30 @ 2CST | Leeds 1/3) ***

TBH, i really dont see us as the team that were hanging 4 and 5 goals on teams this year (like we did last year with our fab 4 of ronaldo tevez berbatov and rooney)

somehow i knew we were good for it today though.

vs Leeds United Team News

Neville (groin) and Scholes (hip) are supposed to be back

Vidic and Brown at CB

Rooney to start up top

9,000 leeds supporters (a very high number compared to most home games) will be making plenty of noise

this tie is one of 5th matches in this round with a 1st division team vs a 3rd division team.

leeds hasn't won in 18 visits to OT (last win in 1981)

whats funny is that nani is now the 6th choice winger behind valencia, obertan, giggs, welbeck, & tosic.

you sound like a liverpool fan.

 

Re: ***Manchester United 09/10 Season Thread (W Wigan 5-0 | v Leeds 1/3 FA cup)

berbatov is soo lazy. pundits use the word "languid" to describe him. look at the bullish pace/nature of rooney and who he basically replaced (tevez- also a frenetic pace/work rate). he has created some beautiful goals but never for himself, like he should. he is very strong on the ball which is weird.
