eh… is it michael or it’s donibrasco? i know u lad, if u r changing the name just because guys on you case for aimless mouth opening, accept it mate! dont play hide and seek.

back to the job. as for the back game, news is that Puyol is out for leg 1 in the Nou Caaamp. that would be great news provided we dont lose a player between now and 23rd April. He’s urguably been one of hteir best defenders along with Milito. That will call for calamituous Thuram, i guess a good day for the R’s awaits keeping in mind that Barca’s R is out of the tie.

Further still Iniesta has a knee problem, though it’s not yet known how long he’ll be left on the sidelines, rumour has it, he might just miss the first leg too. Its looks this is the luck of a champion “United” and come 21st May, Tores and Gerrard will be injured and suspended respectively.

Craig; I’ve seen Tevez score a few goals in South American highlights as well as Argentina’s National side. Most of the goals are near post headers and actually, I have seen score three or four just like yesterday’s. Beautiful diving headers. He will always score them from the near post because he is height challenged and that’s where he gets more of a clean crack at the ball whether it be by head or foot.

Sounds like we are in the beginning a beautiful Hargo’s Advocate Dream Team of uber supporters. And resistance is futile with a good squad of advocates and miserable old grognard holding in the midfield and deflecting criticism of the Mighty Hargo back in the non believers faces.

Hargo has great balance and positional sense on players when he marks them. You’ll notice that he rarely lunges or reaches to get to players. This is why he has a tremendous record of very few yellow cards and no reds. Amazing for a holding midfielder.

Also, regarding his choice to play either for Germany or for England, actually Craig his choice was between England (the birth place of his parents) or Canada (his own birth place). I don’t believe Germany was ever an option or consideration. And realistically speaking, I doubt very much if Canada was ever considered. After all, why would it? And to all non believers RED CARD and a boot in the nuts when the ref isn’t looking.

Craig; Red Ranter? he hasn’t posted a comment since comment #4. You’re on the wrong thread mate. And no I think Walcott has the ability to do the out of this world, but he has very poor ball control and skill, has very little vision and passing ability(which is why I think he doesn’t fit Arsenal’s style at all, and therefore is why he doesn’t play often) and all he really has unbelievable raw pace. He will improve no doubt, but he’s playing for the wrong team, definitely, and he is only an average player right now. He probably won’t even play. Flamini has probably been their most consistent player this season so it’s great that he’s out. What do you mean Craig? Flamini and Sagna are the only ones missing I think, not going to believe the Adebayor reports as Arsene Wenger gave a report of the injuries earlier today.

Red Devil, Gosh, if your reports turn out right, looks like we could be playing the Gooners reserve team.Walcott might spring a surprise if we don’t put our speediest on him. He seems to be coming good – or not, what do you think?. Anyone feel Wenger might be trying to pull a fast one here. Like we think its his reserves, and out come the big guns on the day?.

Yeah he did, just one that he deflected off his shin though, scrappy, but those goals win you titles Yeah pretty much every England fan hated him, probably because they either seen him as a traitor or they just judged him on the team he played for, or stats which are unimportant to Hargreaves such as goals. I remember plenty of radio stations criticising Sven for favouring Hargreaves and that he clearly wasn’t up to it because he had such a measly goal tally. This is when the whole point of fans being fickle and hypocritical comes up, because he put up with intense criticism, completely unfair criticism, and then after a few games he was England’s hero. I still think he was overpriced, but the same goes for every player we buy, so it’s hard to judge value. However it’s obvious if we tried to buy him for say Â£12m before the World Cup Bayern may have agreed to sell him. hindsight is a wonderful thing eh? He really was brilliant against Roma, and against Liverpool and Arsenal if I remember correctly? It looks like we have another big game player Yes, sounds like Grognard Red card

O and postscript Conor, I think when Grog gets going, there will be a few Hargo doubters and haters, who will be getting the red card!.

Conor – O yeah right, it was Chelsea lol. Tev did score in the away match in L’pool though, didn’t he?. The ‘Hargo advocates team’, is just formed from Hargo enthusiasts who are always ready to champion his cause, in good and bad – haha!. As you know Conor, when he chose to represent England rather than Germany as his national team, he was not given a great welcome initially. The media and fans got on his back. He showed his character though by not speaking out, but by getting stuck in, and proving his worth, as England’s best player in the world cup in Germany. He went through hell with Bayern too, by begging them to let him come to United. Bayern put him through the mill and punished him for that. But he wanted to play for us, and he persisted against all the odds. Now, he is having to fight at United, to get the fans to believe he is worth a place in the team, and worth his transfer fee. He showed his best form against Roma, he was utterly amazing in my opinion. So the advocates are just to trumpet his case on this blog, and convert those of little faith – haha!. Grog’s the delegated captain now though, so I don’t know what he has in mind. Knowing Grog though, it will be trumpeting Hargo until resistance against him is futile. What fun eh?, but welcome aboard.
