Not too much slagging off of Lucas lately or is it when we win, scapegoats are not needed?

A lot of teams beat us, do a lap of honour and don't stop running. They live too long on one good result. I remember Jimmy Adamson crowing after Burnley had beaten us once and that his players were in a different league. At the end of the season they were.

But Rafa had the balls to rectify the mistake, acknowledge it was a mistake and send him back.

Are you happy that Fergie will keep Berbatov and send Tevez packing?

I'd take Berbatov over Tevez any day. He offers Utd something different. He's not had the greatest first year, but plenty don't. Maybe with a pre-season he'll go better, last year, he spent at Tottenham, doing everything he could to get away from the club, and barely featured in any of the pre season games. He'll fit in better next year I think, understand his role better, and so will the team.

Tevez is exactly what somebody like Arsenal need really. Somebody, who when the game isn't going your way, will work his balls off to get the ball back etc. United have this already in Rooney & Flecther etc. Nasri was probably the only Arsenal player the other night attempting to do this, and that says it all really. He's not as gifted as Berbatov though, just works harder. If Arsenal had say Tevez & Adebayor up top, with Arshavin & Walscott from the flanks, that'd relegate Nasri & RVP to the benhcm and suddenly, they'd look alot stronger. Their options at present are Vela & Bendtner.

1. Alex Ferguson.
2. Guus Hiddink.
3. David Moyes.
4. Harry Redknapp.
5. Roy Hodgson.


Reasoning

1. Champions(probably) for the 3rd year running, CL final qualifiers 2nd year running, CC Cup winners, FA Cup semi finalists (and would have probably been FA Cup finalists if he didn't put in the reserves), Waste of time World Club Champions.
2. Reversed the fortunes of a side who looked, at the time, to be heading out of the CL reckoning. Beat Juve and Liverpool in the CL, with a competent referee would've beaten "the greatest attacking side ever" to reach the CL final. Beat Arsenal in the FA Cup semi.
3. Qualified for Europe again. Reached the FA Cup final by beating Liverpool, Villa and Man Utd reserves.
4. Took over a side who hadn't won in the first 8 matches and managed to take them to 8th in the league. CC finalists, only lost on pens to Man Utd.
5. Possible 7th place finish the season after Fulham only escaped relegation on GD last season.



Hiddink over Benitez

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You manage to ignore the fact that Benitez has turned Liverpool into United's biggest challengers. Whopper. Or, you're just trying to get a bite.....
