One year and one day since we ruined the biggest Mancunian Derby game. Bet no United supporter will forget that. Must be gutting.

He created space back on the inside to shoot.

He was heading wide but cut back inside. It wasn't as pronounced because he initrially started off in a fairly central position.




Yes, he has done this. Several times. It's just that he can also puick a pass and will only take the man on when he needs to. If he can pick a pass that would be more productive than a dribble followed by a cross, he will pass the ball.

He doesn't play as a winger as such for Brazil because the width is provided by the full-backs (BTW how does Maicon get in ahead of Alves?).




I prefer him to play centrally - you obviously didn't bother to acknowledge this when I stated it earlier.

I said Ribery is not as good as Robbie. How does that become 'not fit to lace his boots'. Are you a headline writer for a downmarket tabloid?

Thats exactly what you said about Ashley Young when the point I was trying to make was also exactly the same.

Congratulations, what trophy did you win?

I wont forget that game for a number of reasons. Getting beat by a poor side was not one of them

You said :

Ribery? Don't be daft.

Implying that you don't even consider him to be the same standard as your Golden Boy.

Robinho isn't a winger, He offers no width, and doesn't get to the byline and cross the ball. All his creativity is when he roams and becomes hard to pick up centrally. I'm not sure what you watch ? Ribery is a much, much better winger than Robinho, as is Ashley Young.

Do you judge people by what FM09 says is his 'natural' position ?

get well soon joe

I'm sure that winning the league and CL will make up for it. Just a bit mind. Obviously winning the Manc derby is far more important than trivial things like titles and European Cups.

=whiteAnd I know you'll try and make out that it was super-duper special because it was also a Munich memorial, but any United fan will take the defeat as completely unimportant when placed in context of a tragedy like that.

Do it again this year please.

Yep, gutting to be crowned champions again, much rather have come 2nd but have beaten Citeh.

Going to need some help off someone


Have you seen how similar the games we both have to play till be end of the season are?

You are claiming that Young is as good as Ashley Young?





Young is not fit to lace Robbie's boots. I stand by that comment. A couple of good months playing for a team where everything has gone right for them doesn't make him a quality player.

Ashley Young Is A Quality Winger And A Quality Player...

nil all draw . japan aus

we are a comming too get you

Can you spell at all or are you typing blindfolded ?

It obviously hurt you a great deal, scouse

RE your pronounciation of the name of the club I support: Do you understand the irony?

Bit suvvern innit.

1. If you don't run to the by-line and cross the ball, does that mean you are not a winger?
2. Where did I say that Robbie's natural position is as a 'winger'? I would be grateful if you could provide this. If not, will you please acknowledge this in your next post?
3. How often has he played in the following positions for City: left of a front three; left-wing; and as one of the front two?
4. Mascherano cannot pass or create anything. Does that mean he isn't a 'midfielder'?



What is 'FM09'? Sounds a bit scrotey to me.

BTW how many times have you watched Robbie this season? Not as often as I have.

Robihno has played as a trequartista, off the shoulder of the centre-half, left-wing and on the left of a front three.




Factually incorrect. He provides creativity out-wide too. Robihno has scored several times coming from the left and has produced assists from that position too.

Hang on.....have you actually seen him play? IMO he is best playing a free-role as part of a forward pairing.





Thanks for the sig

Please refrain from using colloquialisms. It's a crime against the English language that is matched only by the use of text speak.

Please don't let Paul know the irony of his statement. I want him to make himself look stupid

It's what happens when you have to watch Ali G.

Yes, does that change the rest of my statement? Thought not.

Kalou African Young Footballer of the Year.

Others must have been poor then.

It was Adebayor mate

Your pronounciation of 'City' says a lot more than the rest of your post.
