all time United XI with this trophy cabinet?

Yh, to be fair to him, he had a much worse team, but still needs to achieve much more to get that status

 

[Gremlin247]

He was never going to go to Arsenal

Apparently Barcelona players were upset about the news, one Barcelona player found out (probably Pique lol) and so they just announced it.

that's the Spain I grew up knowing. Not this kumbaya, holding hands, we are as 1 , tiki taka BS they been promoting.

On a Euro scale Spain aint the worst to be honest They do have racists, as do the rest, but its one of the few countries in Western Europe that doesnt have a flourishing far right. Same with Portugal actually.

The Portuguese are far nicer people than the Spanish

He was never going to go to Arsenal

so he wants to keep getting knocked out of the Champions League...

Wish France would dump Deschamps and hire Zinedine before the start of the World Cup.

Manchester United's all time 11 as voted by fans.

De Gea
Neville - Vidic - Ferdinand - Evra
Ronaldo - Scholes - Keane - Giggs
Cantona - Rooney

Schmeichel over De Gea and surely they had a better left back than Evra?

Van Nizzle >

I'd take Irwin over Evra, but either option is good.

Spain fire their coach and replace him with Hierro who has no experience on the eve of a major tournament

This irresponsibility is up there with Argentina appointing Maradona as their head coach for the 2010 WC

And Klansmann took Germany to the Semi's with even less experience.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

So much for team unity.

It only been like that for 10 years, the unity. The Spanish bytchiness was bound to rear its ugly head again, especially with Real shoving the CL in Barca's face and the team make up now being 6 Real, 3 Barca current players and then 1 Real and 2 Barca former players (as Iniesta has moved to Japan).

Xavi and Casillas are the ones who held it all together.

hmm Rooney has great stats though, i can understand him being there

150 goals in 219 games. Van Nizzles 2nd worst season is still better than Gooney's 3rd best in terms of goals.
Gooney should of left United with over 300 goals. But because he wanted to be on the ball all the time like a spoilt little bytch and didnt want to play CF, even tho his legs were slowly going and his 2 best seasons as the CF he scored 34 goals in both seasons, suggested he should of played there. He failed to adapt his game, he would of been a excellent penalty box striker because he had good movement and was a strong header of the ball. He felt because everyone gassed him up that he could play midfield as he got older, he was over indulged by everyone, when he should of been told your playing up front. The reality was his passing and vision wasnt good enough to be the midfield playmaker he thought he was. Watching him play for United, England & Everton the last couple of seasons has been .

Only 4 20+ goals a seasons in 13 years with United and 16 overall. Is that really good stats for a player who played as a forward for most of his career. Lampard had 5 & Gerrard had 3 seasons of 20+ goals.


Also United fans putting in a player who held their club hostage twice and threatened to leave and go join Citeh for pay rises.

Yeah My bad

And Klansmann took Germany to the Semi's with even less experience.

Klinsmann spent years with that squad, he also had Löw as his assistant, they created a football culture while they were in charge. That entire team was on the same page and it showed on the pitch.

I'm not sure if Hierro has even held a training session prior to his appointment. The whole thing is crazy and for Spain's sake I hope the tournament goes well for them. It's definitely a risk but we'll see.

Are you guys gonna do fantasy world cup thing for the coli? That would be interesting
