he knows he'll be so ashamed.... he decided to wear 1 1st...Originally posted by Spica:yea, what's with him and the stupid mask ah?
juz kidding -
lol if only they pressured porthsmouth as much... think the performance got something to do wif SAFOriginally posted by dinky1409:well it is finally time for the "KPKBer" to speak up
. I am stunt for words.. I told my friend to wake me up at 330 at least watch a bit cos today got exam paper.. but he woke me at 300 say man u leading 3-0 and i watched the rest of the match and I saw a totally different team playing from the last 2 games. No stupid 4-3-3, no stupid tactics of long balls.. Simply fast paced passing and those nice 1-2 touches which Man U are known for. Each goal was a delightfull watch.. I love that Carrick second goal.. Never doubted Fletcher's industrious nature but his passing is still like crap but he did well today.. If you all realise, the difference between today and the last 2 matches, Man U applied more pressure on the opponents. Roma forwards couldn't have the opportunity to receive the ball and turn and shoot. But you can see that after about the 55th minute (yea I checked the time), can see that Man U starts to slack off.. Guess they are shag from all the pressurising.. Roma couldn't capitalise because psychological mindset kicks in. They are down by so many goals. Demoralise already.. Thank goodness for the early 3 goals in the first 20 minutes. Today was the day when luck was with us. It didn't go away. The shots were converted into goals. But it wasn't the best game ever to be played. It wasn't a perfect Man U game. Rooney, we can see that he starts to tire out and his passes became crappy.. Ferdinand was shag, can see that about 80+ minutes.. I think Fergie should improve the stamina of our lads.. No wonder, Chelsea and Arsenal could get last minute goals against us.. We are always bombarded the last part of the game..
Nevertheless, GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED! YOU DIDN'T DISAPPOINT ME, US AND ALL FELLOW FAITHFUL RED DEVIL FANS! KEEP THIS UP AND THE 3 TITLES WILL BE A REALITY!! LETS GO!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!
today is a good day, think I'm going to get full marks for my exams.. -
I hope we will get a liverpool vs man utd final... It will be a great match as 2 of the best supported clubs go head to head in Europe...

hope this isnt a one off... there are still many matches to go...Originally posted by CKeer:7-1 is a whopping scoreline. Luckily i caught the match this morning and United didn't disappoint me.
United attacks swiftly and defended stoutly.
Edwin punches no longer land in front of opponents.
O'Shea got the help of Ronaldo in marking Mancini.
Fletcher played football as if it's the World Cup Final. He is one of the unsung heroes of United.
Carrick was criticised for not scoring goals. Guess how many high quality goals he puts in this morning?
Ronaldo hasn't scored in the Champions league and this morning he added 2 to his name.
And the list goes on and on. United was fantastic this morning. I wonder if they can emulate this form for the rest of the season.
And oh yeah, Totti, we'll remember your name. The guy that boasts so much but in the end, achieve nothing but elimination.
Glory Glory Man United~
Cheers.

carrick shld shoot la... he was poor last game...
JOS couldnt handle mancini... lucky ronaldo helped out.
fletcher was ok la... but he is inconsistent.... certainly not a 1st eleven player... YET
rio was quiet? seen none of his ineffective long balls.. brown did well....
surprisingly evra was ok on the right.... welcome back...
why is it that ole is sharp though he nv play much? smith is playing ok too...
think heinze has snatched back the LB place.... he was solid -
I guess for those who thought Roma will win.. *winks*
Cheers Red Devils! -
Ferguson celebrates United's win with his
assistant Carlos Queiroz
Ferguson hails 'greatest' victory
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson hailed his side's 7-1 win over Roma as the greatest European night of his 20-year reign at Old Trafford.
The victory gave United an 8-3 aggregate win and sent them into the Champions League semi-finals.
Ferguson said: "It was our best ever - a fantastic performance by every one of our players. The speed of our play and our penetration was absolutely superb. "We had to have confidence to believe in ourselves after some bad results."
United had lost 2-1 to Roma in the first leg last week then fallen to a shock defeat at Portsmouth in the Premiership on Saturday. But they bounced back in style here as Cristiano Ronaldo and Michael Carrick both scored twice and Alan Smith, Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra also found the net.
"To start so well and carve up the chances and score the goals we did was a great feeling," Carrick said. "To carry it on for the full game was the stuff of dreams." Ferguson was delighted for Smith, who has battled to recover from a serious leg break sustained in February 2006.
Smith was starting his first European game since December 2005 and had not scored since November of the same year. "He deserved it more than anyone," added Ferguson. "He has been patient and he has trained like a beast."
Roma coach Luciano Spalletti was left stunned by his side's collapse. "It's difficult to explain what happened, especially because the team played well in the first 10 minutes," said Spalletti. "Then the first time they attacked, they scored. We failed to respond to their enthusiasm and our inexperience cost us dearly against their counter-attacks." -
liverpool owns man utd in terms of titles. 18 v 15 in the league... and 5 v 2 in CL.... and 1 of the reasons why i supported man utd from 1992 was cos most of my frenz then supported liverpool. i wanted to be different and not support a successful club. i never imagined man utd to become so successful.Originally posted by zocoss:I hope we will get a liverpool vs man utd final...

so yes its a dream final, but bayern/milan/chelski arent pushovers -

that night is irreplaceable.... unless man utd displays this scintillating form right through to the final and win the trophy....
but for those who followed 1999. man utd knocked out juventus and inter in equally exciting matches though they din win by a 6 goal margin. ditto the two 3-3 draws against barca during the group stages... -
Of course not, that is why i said i hope... They are the best supported clubs left in the CL right...Originally posted by imprezaWRXSTi22B:liverpool owns man utd in terms of titles. 18 v 15 in the league... and 5 v 2 in CL.... and 1 of the reasons why i supported man utd from 1992 was cos most of my frenz then supported liverpool. i wanted to be different and not support a successful club. i never imagined man utd to become so successful.

wah kao. tok 7goals. bian tai.
-
perhaps.... theres no barca and real, so there u go
-
I like Smith's goal. The build-up, the passing and the finishing. Top draw.
And yes, it's good to see Smudge back.
Cheers.

carrick's 2 goals were oso outstanding...his shooting really improved since a manutd..
Lets not get carried away,continue this kind of swift attack n kill teams off early..btw,united's away form in europe isn't that pleasing after all..need to work on that -
This result come after Roma rested 7 of their first team players over the weekend...
It just makes you wonder is it good to rest players...
Back to thumb sucking for Totti... And the Italian said he was better than Ronaldo... I thought he was even worse than Fletcher last night... -
he did create a goal.... and had a few chances
resting could lead to drop in match sharpness. better to play them and subst them -
I think Roma caught Man u on a bad night... Cos everything man u shoot seen to be flying in... Both of Carrick's goals were great shots which we hardly ever see him score like that before... And I thought Fletcher had a good game as well in midfield with him... He and Smith were running and cutting out most of the Roma attack... and winning back the ball in midfield.
He looks more like Owen Hargreaves than the Fletcher of late... -
One thing i thought was strange, Patrice Evra came on and played in an unfamiliar right-back role... Perhaps O'shea has not been great in that role as a stand-in. Evra even scored playing in that position for the first time...
-
evra did quite ok too...
carrick did score a goal like that juz a few games back.... from outside the penalty box or thereabouts.... tts why i said that he shld try long range shooting... -
Michael Carrick admits Manchester United's 7-1 thumping of Roma was the 'stuff of dreams'. Trailing 2-1 from the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final with the Italians, United delivered a devastating display at Old Trafford to win 8-3 on aggregate.
Carrick opened the scoring on 12 minutes and was soon followed on to the score sheet by Alan Smith and Wayne Rooney. Cristiano Ronaldo netted either side of half-time before Carrick arrowed in his second of the night, and Patrice Evra rounded off the scoring after Daniele De Rossi's consolation for Roma.
It was the biggest win in a European Cup or Champions League quarter-final tie in almost 50 years and Carrick was amazed at how United maintained their performance for 90 minutes.
The £18.6million signing from Tottenham Hotspur was brimming with delight after The Red Devils had set up a semi-final meeting with either Bayern Munich or Milan.
"To start so well and carve up the chances and score the goals we did was a great feeling," said Carrick. "To carry it on for the full game was the stuff of dreams." -
the 1st goal the goalie just watched the ball fly in..
the rest of the goals sloppy defending by roma...
but Man Utd played really well last nite -
I think Smith was in cause he is like a terrier, snapping at people's unlike Ole or Saha...
And SAF didn't want Roma to settle and come at them like in the first leg.
Deny them possession and attack. that must be the plan. cause they can't hurt if they don't have the ball.
Well, it worked.
It was damn shiok to see Smith scoring again. After his injury, it was deserving.
Now for another injury-plagued to step up and do the same, and that would be Michael Owen for Newcastle against Chelsea.
Irregardless, I hope that the boys will take this feeling and magnified it in the following EPL games and get that bloody EPL title. -
well well good la, but forget this and concentrate on the next match liaoz. aim to reproduce the form instead of talking and talking....
-
Next up... Saturday, 14 April FA Cup Semi-Final with Watford.
-
pls la richardson..people keep praising other people except u...pls do urself a favour and send in ur own resignation and go find other clubs
-
OMFG!!!
7!!!!
Most are long shots.
Im still delighted though
And yes i hope to see a Man Utd Vs Liverpool final thats if they can go to the final of cuz....2 teams with tradition and culture battling it out..
