"Uber-Bouba"

Ahahaha! Papa Bouba Diop; legend.

What a strike, though, he now just needs to score a screamer against Arsenal to complete his treble. Overall the game was completely dominated by United, but at the end of the day they've been Diop-ed. Unlucky not to be leaving with three points but if you can't make your chances pay then there can be no complaints.

Thats just silly when he wasn't playing.

He hasn't played for the first team in any recent significant fixtures.

There is simply no point in making stupid excuses

i said it before and i'll say it again, we got rid of Diego foreskin, now we need to be rid of Djemba×2. Even though he doesnt play any more he is a curse

A couple of seasons back it would have been a cricket score, we've just lost that ability to kill teams off. We need another winger because Ronnie can't do it all himself and Fletcher is nowhere near Premiership quality, Jaoquin has said he 'loves' Man United and i know we spent our transfer budget on Shrek but a team supposedly as big as United should be able to buy at least 2 top quality players in each season and with Jaoquin i'd say we'd have one of, if not the, best young sides in the world to carry us on for many seasons

I think the team have to be bigger than that - they have to show that they can beat teams convincingly without Ruud. The performance was there but the finishing simply was not.

The fact of the matter is that we should have won with a cricket score against Fulham, especially in the first half. Until the players can realise that there is life without Ruud, mentally, they won't be good enough.

Bouba's goal was something else however seeing it from a Red point a view, United should have closed him down quicker, the players were far too slow coming out of their blocks and by then it was too late.

After relentless efforts on goal, it was as if they gave up in the end and that is the United that I simply don't know.

Just miss the threat Van Nistelrooy brings i guess.

The win ratio with van nistelrooy, compared to without him is quite conclusive.

It was right up there with something only Roberto Carlos could do; second only to that miraculous bender from Le Tournoi back, in '97.


United had a whopping TEN chances to score in the first-half and a bucket-load more after the break - what the heck keeps going wrong this season?!?

Indeed, at this rate you'll be struggling to finish in the top 3 at the end of the season :-D


Anyway this could have been a turning point in the season for United but once again they've thrown away a great opportunity. Can't afford to do this, we should be beating teams like Fulham if we want to win the league. Ah well least the unbeaten run keeps going :-D

Don't forget Everton! :P

Heh.

Whilst last months goal of the month was pretty poor, December is shaping up to be brilliant.
