I told you so,I am beaming from ear to ear now that I have had the chance to gloat. Whoever laughs last,laughs longest.I just knew it,that when Andy Carrolls fitness improved he was going to come good.Not only did he come good,He was awesome.Magnificent display from the big lad.And not just his goals. He tormented not only the city backline,he roughed up their midfield and caused serious problems.He marauded like a man possessed.The Suarez/Carroll partnership is going to be fearsome.They never gave city a minutes peace. There was not one man of the match,there was 10 outfield players that were 10/10/.Faultless performance by all involved. Special mention to 18 year old John Flanagan.He didn't put a foot wrong.Cool,composed,didn't let the occasion get to him.And he was learning beside an old head.Pure class.
Good performance from him and it was a great strike, you need really good technique to hit the ball that hard when it is coming at you like that.
I said time and time again,that if that lad gets close to full fitness and gets within shooting range with that left foot of his,He's going to do damage.He's not just a fantastic header of a ball.He's got a left foot like a lump hammer.
Flanagan's one flaw I saw tonight that might have made the game different had Johnson been out there or someone tricky, is that willingness to win "every" ball when sometimes you just need to contain. A few times he flew in and was left, a few times he timed it right. All part of the process being young. Well done to him, possibility of Flanagan and Robinson on the sides this season? Aurelio lasted a whole game too !!!!!
His overall defending was flawless.Maybe his attacking threat wasn't top drawer,defenders first and foremost are there to defend,and he did it perfectly. Secondly that was Jay Spearings best game full stop.Lucas has been doing that all season,so even though he was excellent,He didn't do anything above his normal level,which has improved 10 fold.
I think it is great that the mancs and chavs have already been shut up re Carrolls quick reply to them. Not his first great strike, he beat Pepe from 25 yards too with a great shot. Sweet header too, scored for England too, if he keeps this up I think a little jealousy will creep in from all the haters If he bags another 5 or 6 this season it is already a good return rate on the cash spent!! Do you like apples? How do you like them apples? Spearing is totally lacking that "superstar" mentality, a comitted work horse, good brain and vision. I really do have a lot o time for this chap, Well done!! To have some reality creep in, we have sen arsenal thow in some great young players and get great results, yet no major honours for 6 years, we need to spend on some positions in the summer.
yes, have to9 agree. "The White Heskey" sums Carroll up perfectly. ã35 million for two goals. Actually one goal and one own goal wrongly claimed.
George W Bush. Dubya is more intelligent that him.I would prefer to say Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville,who thought it was a good idea to put diesel in a petrol engine. Or David Beckham when asked to discuss tactics,said he had some in his pocket.(Tictacs)
Plus we made money on the deal. It's like somebody paid us ã15m to swap Carroll for Torres. That's ã7.5m per goal clear profit. And that ã15m won't be going on interest or installing chairlifts for 36-yr old midfielders.
Or paying off creditors on two bankrupt shopping malls in Florida. NASA astranauts have asked to train at Old Trafford,because its the only place in the world with no atmosphere. Michael Barrymore has offered ã1 million to play up front for Man United.He wants 10 pricks behind him and 76,000 arseholes jumping up and down. How many Man United fans does it take to pave a drive way? It depends on how thin you slice them. What would you call 100 Man United fans on the moon? A problem. What would you call 1000 Man United fans on the moon? A bigger problem. What would you call all Man United fans on the moon? Problem solved. How many Man United fans does it take to stop a moving bus? Not enough. How do you stop a Man United fan from drowning? Take your foot off his head. What do you do after shooting a Man United fan? Stop and re-load. What do Man United fans use for contraception? Their personalities.
I love it that you of all people are questioning my intelligence. This is from the man who though Dion Dublin of Man Utd injured David Busst.
''Thoug''. I'm not the one that thinks my club is going to have a ã100 million spending spree having made ã108.9 million in losses.They only told Rooney that to shut him up,the dopey bastard believed it.
Beckham when you hear him talk he sounds like a gay Darlek. please log in to view this image Beckham as a kid when asked if he'd rather spend time with a girl or kick a ball he always said kick the ball. Where as Stan Collymore said he'd rather kick the girl
