Manchester United

[mjj]

Chelsea beat City with less possession.

Possession is nine tenths of the law.

Apart from in football.

Ask Mourinho.

United will come good ( very good) soon.

Trust me.

Do you know something we don't?

Are they buying a whole new team?

Who from United would be in the starting 11 for Chelsea? Strikers, yes, and then?

De Gea for one.

Dunno mate. I'm just a punter.

United get the spirit right, the rest will follow

(De Gea.

Nice one.

We'll take Courtois back.)

[mjj]

De Gea v Cech, nah, I'll keep Cech thanks.

[carmine]

De Gea v Cech, nah, I'll keep Cech thanks.

Courtois is possibly better than both of them!

[rixalex]

De Gea v Cech, nah, I'll keep Cech thanks.

If you can't accept that De Gea has had a much better season than Cech, no point really continuing the debate.

No need to throw your toys out of the pram. So you think that if De Gea was signed tomorrow, Cech would be benched? I can't see it myself.

I guess in defense and midfield is 100% Chelsea then.......

Who's throwing toys? Just don't think you are being very honest with your assessment about keepers, and if you aren't going to be honest about them, why would you be honest about the others?

[StevieH]

cech's pretty past his best now. i'd have de gea ahead of him.

So I can't have an opinion. OK. So you are saying Cech would be dropped?

People have been saying Cech is past it ever since his head injury, yet he virtually won us the CL (dived the right way for every penalty), was voted best EPL keeper ever and another board voted him better than de Gea in January this year.

Agree.

But captain carmine is correct.

Courtois classy.

+1

[P45Mustang]

Talking of money..

ATM has to give us £4.95mil for Courtois to face us!

That's what you call winning the lottery.

Win win.

The first link is to a crappy web board in which about 100 people voted.

The second link is talking about the best keeper in the history of the Premier League. We aren't discussing history, we are discussing present day.

eh? the best premier league goalkeeper ever is clearly peter schmeichel. like by miles.

[bigbamboo]

It's a good thing for English football that the CL places get shared around a bit more. Personally I think Arsenal are long overdue a European holiday ( I know, there's the Platini Plate aka the Europa League but that should be for smaller clubs) and it looks as if they may get one next year..... along with United.

But whereas Arsenal have never exceeded expectations for several seasons United have always been there or thereabouts. They will be a big miss like Barca, Real, Bayern or Chelsea would too but the CL impinges far too much on the domestic season for the rest of the clubs who cannot play when the precious CL is in town.

i think that's called financial doping isn't it?

[P45Mustang]

Yep.

ATM gives us £4.95mil.

Then we go down the park and Courtois scores a hatrick!

Bldy marvellous.

[jellydog]

Atletico has said he won't play.

Agreed. I do think though that there was a point in Cech's career when he looked like he might go on to eclipse Schmeichel, he was that good. Never happened. Not the same keeper he once was. Not by a long shot.

oh he was, cech was outstanding for a while. never felt like he won matches on his own though like schmeichel did.

best in the division at the moment is lloris for me. begovic is good, de gea, cech, hart, mignolet all in the next tier probably.

[P45Mustang]

Well, as the headline in a classy newspaper said about a famous GK from days gone by:

"Past Perfect, Future Tense"

Almost as good as Hemingway's six word novel that one.

"Fellaini?

" No Moysey. We need a footballer"

Well where am I going to put my next post redrus, because I'm struggling to find a home for it.

TBH I think United thread is fine.

So with your permission...here goes.

George Best was not ordinary.

Eric Cantona was not ordinary.

Zidane was not ordinary.

Luis Suarez is not ordinary.

Jose Mourhino is not ordinary.

Nothing pisses me off more than mediocrity fouling class.
