This. Very much this. Come back, Pako. :(

So the problem is Rafa's rotation of assistant managers, eh? Yes, this explains everything.

Marseille's goal was brilliant, though not quite as brilliant as Dida's antics at the end of the Celtic game. Great stuff. :thumb:

Someone obviously doesn't know about Celtic's home record in Europe.

Fantastic game, watched it from start to finish and loved it. Great goals, too (for Celtic) and the finish by Dida, well, what can I say? Pussy.

Aye, now i cant take the piss out of my Celtic supporting mates :(

Watched Liverpool instead, god they were crap.

what can anyone say? talk about dramatic:p that game had a great atmosphere as well.

Great score for Celtic, hurrah. Been a good week for me! City win, Celtic win.

City vs. Boro tomorrow.

GONNA WIPE THE FLOOR WITH THEM.

Matches like Metalist Kharkiv-Everton are ones that ensure that no Evertonian can possibly have a greater life expectancy than 25.

United players (ie, every player which has been given a shirt number), the roles they are used in predominantly, and which are injured.

GOALKEEPERS
Van der sar - INJURED
Foster - INJURED
Kuzscak
Heaton

DEFENDERS
Ferdinand
Vidic - INJURED
Evra
Neville - INJURED
Brown - INJURED
O'Shea - INJURED
Silvestre - INJURED
Piqué
Evans - INJURED
Bardsley - INJURED
Simpson
Eckersley

CENTRAL / DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS
Hargreaves - INJURED
Carrick - INJURED
Fletcher - INJURED

ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS / WINGERS
Scholes
Ronaldo
Giggs
Nani
Anderson
Park - INJURED
Gibson - INJURED
Eagles
Martin - LOANED OUT AS OF YESTERDAY.

FORWARDS
Saha - INJURED
Rooney
Tevez
Dong
Campbell

What the hell. :( To add to that, Pique and Evra have suffered knocks in this game and may be rested later. If there's the ability to rest them, that is - with only five defenders left...

EDIT: Fantastic goal.

United must be the most unlucky team in England :(
Hopefully some will be back soon!

Goal-wise, at least, it looks good. :D I'm happy enough - although I'm just thanking the football Gods that it's the international break now, as we really do need some players coming back to fitness.

Unless more get injured over the international break... XD

I don't think half of our players will even be playing over the international period at this rate.

Yeah, well we've got Harry Kewell injured but you don't see me complaining.

Also the triple A billing of Alonso, Aurelio and Agger, but that's just not as funny as Harry Kewell, is it?

Not really, no.

If we don't win the Premiership, I for one will not say "Oh, we didn't have ____ and ____ during that period and that's the only reason we lost" though. I still want to slap anyone who thinks that's why Chelsea lost last season. It's part of the game! We have more players injured now than they did then and we're still winning. They could have kept winning but they just didn't play well enough.
