Probably because we'll hoof the ball up to him when things are going tits up (again).

Also we've drawn Ipswich at home in the Capital Cola Cup thingy.

Hm.
The DT also says that LVG will use Fellaini as a striker so there is no need to buy.

Neymar and Fellaini have much in common:
Both blokes and er play football.
Wait, hold on.... They are both foreign.
So identical.
Almost.
Dear God I hope this is true! hehe

£240 million quid (including salary). He's good but not that good. Is this the Premiership about to have a Lehman Brothers moment?
Just a smokescreen, Pedro was a smokescreen to outwit Chelski, Neymar is a smokescreen to outwit City, the real target is Messi......ofcourse ;-)



No not really, the new No.9, the one LvG said nobody would expect is....

It's quite Obvious actually, just put two and two togheter. He's already looking for a PA, and nobody playing for Sunderland needs a PA.....so:

It's Jermain Defoe ;-)

Shaw looks so good now. He's looking like the player we bought.

Shaw looks the player that everyone said he was! Really pleased to have been proven wrong about that lad.

Memphis is different class. Great to have him and Mata there to work with Janujaz in training - he could learn from both of them.

(On the downside, the back 4 is getting no protection. Schneiderlin may be one of those players that shows how good he is when he is missing from the side.)

Excellent. That'll be Rooney off on a run now.

Just need to translate this form into premier league goals.

I really missed not being in the champions league last year and as a bonus it would appear that we'll have Rio and Scholsey keeping linekar company for the journey.

I've got five fold at 75-1 all good right now. The st it button is offering £25 will make up for the Rooney 2 0 that's been blown!

40's? I put it on 7pm yesterday and only had 25/1 off Paddy Power. That was after LVG claimed he was going to play Fellaini up top.

£130 up, thanks Wazza smile

I think everyone is reading way way too much into this game, especially as regards Wazza's form.

Bruges were utterly atrocious at the back. Rooney finished chances that he would finish every day if Prem defenders laid them on for him! It tells us nothing about whether he'll get chances against Swansea or anyone.

We have known for a while that the way to play this Utd side is to sit deep and hope to nick a goal on the break. Nobody in the Prem (other than Man City and maybe Arsenal) will try to outplay us or be as open as Bruges.

Good to see how we would play if the Prem wasn't so dull, though! How fans put up with sides that go out to defend for 90 minutes most weeks, I'll never know! Most of the Prem sides now do that.

I don't see anyone here doing that to be fair. I'm just glad we're back in the Champions League and enjoyed the game.

The additional 15/1 would have been nice, it was a spur of the moment thing though, I just had a gut feeling that once he scores a few more would instantly follow. It did mention last night that after his last drought, he netted twice to break his duck.

I fancy him to get at least one Saturday too. My prediction, we beat Swansea well, "United are back" springs to mind and then the International break loses all our momentum and we struggle (although may not neccesarily lose) to the Dippers frown
