An observation concerning Mata.

He started scoring freely towards the end of last season, was a scorer in the World Cup and has scored pre-season.

Goals from midfield will be crucial if this season is going to be a good one.

My pants are tightly zipped unfortunately. frown I've been away for the weekend and just catching up with the latest now... it doesn't seem good but it was always a long shot I guess.

You seem excited by City!
Citeh couldn't possibly excite me. Not even close....

...me and the rest of the 5-a-side team dress up as Condorman on the 1st Sunday of each month.



We got a very attractive fixture with Internazionale on Wednesday.
I have absolutely no clue what that means, sorry.

The difference being, Shaw will happily do it under LVG's orders whereas he'd have been upset if Moyes had ordered the same.

I heard about this earlier, was surprised. I think in part its due to him needing to be a Wing Back if we play 3-5-2 and so more running involved. Not hugely surprised that someone considered fit enough for England is not fit enough for Utd

Juventus manager stated this afternoon that he's happy and staying, but he did say the same about Thiago Silva and Zlatan in the week before he sold both of them!

Ogden from the Telegraph said United denied any contact with Juve but they could be dealing with a third party as they did in the Mata deal.

We converted all 5 of our penalties against Inter, according to skysports.com report.

Anyone remember how poor we were in our last shoot-out against Sunderland, league cup s/f?

I watched the first half last night before falling asleep and the stand out difference this year from last is the pace we are playing at both whilst passing and our movement off the ball.

The speed of the one touch passing in the first 35 minutes was impressive and Inter couldn't get hold of it. Watched the pens over breakfast and they we're pretty emphatic and have been practised.

Just a few observations

Rooney looks like he really wants to lead and is doing so by example. He's very very sharp.
The wing back role on the right looks tailor made for Valencia and Rafael. Love the fact that Shaw has been told to get fit he and James look good on the left.
LVG seems to like Fletcher or is having a really good look to be sure, I think that might mean no more midfield signings.
Zaha, Nani and Anderson must be moved on. Young is playing for his future and fair play to him. Not popular but he can do a job as a squad player.

Not seen them yet obviously but I would expect Rooney and Van Persie to be deadly together in this formation with Welbeck and Chich keeping them right on their game.

Exciting times once again.

I would have thought you more than most can appreciate the difference a good manager can make to all aspects of the game vs a bad one having been through it yourselves recently
