Charlton vs Manchester Utd

**Numeric** · 18-11-2005, 04:03 PM

The Keane news will completely over-shadow the build up to this fixture but we have to keep perspective and focus on a possible three points at The Valley. Victory against Chelsea a couple of weeks back was of vital importance but will mean nothing if we don't get maximum points against Charlton which are a dangerous team. We can't allow the Keane news to affect our performance, we quite simply have to get the job done...

Smith has proven now that he can indeed handle the mid-field role and we'll be looking to him for another awesome showing...

C'mon Utd...

You lot lost your next game after ending our run and that was without the departure of Keane so I wouldn't be surprised if you lost this one too, especially since a lot of water has gone under the bridge since the win with the international break and everything. Though you might surprise me and win it I suppose...

Yeah i remember the game at Fratton Park last season, horrific to say the least...

I have faith though that Utd can get the result against Charlton...

I dont think smith has proved anything yet. Yes he had a good game against chelski, but thats it.

I do believe tho tha he could fill the role but i feel utd will buy atleast 2 players for midfield in jan.

Keane leaving will only spur utd on

:clap: :clap: well done lads, good result

**Numeric** · 20-11-2005, 06:21 PM

Great result!!

:clap:

I haven't seen the goals yet, but hear that Ruud's second was somin special, good to see him bag a couple and good to see Smithy on the score-sheet too. From what i could gather from Soccer Special we were under the cosh at times which is a little worrying, but it's the three points that matter most, hopefully we'll be able to build on this and get our season started again...

**djfase** · 20-11-2005, 06:46 PM

He was his first goal that was special

**Numeric** · 20-11-2005, 07:17 PM

Oh right, i'll be sure to check MOTD2 out later...

**Esox Lucius** · 20-11-2005, 07:40 PM

**Traxx** · 20-11-2005, 11:58 PM

Just make sure it's not in the away section!

I heard the scoreline flattered Man U a bit and it could have been a draw... but United did alright, Hansen said it was one of their best performances this season, better than against Chelsea, football-wise at least, which would be slightly worrying for Man U fans if what they said on 5 Live is anything to go by and it could have been a draw... Still, who cares about Man U, Arsenal got their first away win of the seaon against high flying Wigan and that's what's important!

arsenal pfft ...the one man team strikes again

Didn't you say Cole was the best left back in the world! Plus Henry's only played in half our prem games and he's no ball winner or defender. It's not even like we've got a one man forward line with Van Persie scoring as many goals as Henry lately...

Just been looking at the stats for Henry and Van Persie and Henry's scored 10 goals from 7 starts and 1 substitute appearance in all competitions and Van Persie's scored 8 goals from 7 starts albeit with 6 substitute appearances - that's some front line I'm sure you'll all agree!

And of course Henry gets nearly as many assists as he does goals, I bet Ronaldinho and Shevchenko combined would struggle to beat his fgoals and assists tallies, it's about time he got the recognition for this!

**Will** · 21-11-2005, 03:21 PM

Hmmm, they only cost £14m between them too, Shrek and Donkey cost about £50m between them and they've only scored 17 goals between them (compared with 18 for Henry and RVP) and they've started 32 games between them (compared with 14 starts for our pair) plus one sub appearance (7 sub appearances for our pair)... So forget Shrek and Donkey - Henry and Van Persie's where it's at!

**Esox Lucius** · 21-11-2005, 03:23 PM

fair play, van persie is on form at the mo, great player.

**french_og** · 21-11-2005, 03:31 PM

Ronaldinhio get his fair share of goals and assists so id be surprised if that is true, I would rather see Henry and Ronaldinhio play together, what a pair that would be!!

Ronaldinhio was that good on Saturday that after his 2nd goal even the Madrid supporters clapped him. Barcelona were awesome mind, they keep the ball so easy, it is like watching a computer game.
