Fully agree with you on this point.
I’ve just noticed over time that when I read the comments afterwards, it seems very funny and illogical, all the stuff said during our ‘rage periods’. Analysis usually clouded by fury. That is one of the reasons I love this site because you have a place to sometimes vent your anger (instead of taking it out on the wife and kids). My wife hates it when United lose because I’m then ‘always’ miserable.

[Thanks Red Ranter for your Anger Management contribution! Feel pleased to know that you truly play a part in eliminating domestic violence worldwide! Damn, how does it feel to be part of the sollution and not the problem ]

Funny how short-lived fans’ memories are.
Two years ago, people (including the most ardent United fans) called Ronaldo a useless one-trick pony…now you call him a ‘great’ player?
Almost a year ago people (including the most ardent Arse fans) called Adebayor a useless cunt….now you call him a ‘real’ striker?
About a year ago, people (transfer frenzy) thought Nani was better than Ronaldo…now you claim Anderson is a better player?
A few months ago, people (including the most ardent Pool fans) called Rooney a great forward, Rooney/Tevez the best understanding and complimentary partnership in the world…now you call him a mediocre player?
Strange thing is, he start scoring a couple of goals and he becomes the best in the world again…silly don’t you think?
When Henry left Arse, everybody claimed that Barca got the best deal.
When he didn’t score, everybody claimed that Barca made a mistake and overpaid
When he started scoring, everybody claimed that Barca got the best deal ever
Same fuckin player!
I can’t convince you that Rooney is a great player. If you’ve failed to see that by now, you most probably never will. What I can tell you however is that:

Form is temporary…Class is PERMANENT!

I was actually planning to write a defence of Rooney post. But on second thoughts, I will shelve it. I just can’t believe some of the vitriol poured against Rooney. Oh well, two adebayor videos up on my new post. Lighter times ahead

Donibrasco: I thought Prakash would take the award for most rubbish spouted in one comment but it seems you have beat him hands down. Rooney is an excellent player, vastly superior to Crouch. Despite mixed form due to injury blips he has 10 goals and 8 assists to his name this season. His goal scoring ratio isnâ€™t too far off one in two this season. He will never be the most prolific player but his all round game compensates, particular when you have a winger chipping in with as many goals as he does.

It is a football fan without understanding of the game however that solely judges a player on stats. Last year Paul Scholes passing was absolutely top notch, however if you looked at his stats for assists you wouldnâ€™t have noticed it. Energy and enthusiasm can lift a team out of the doldrums but it isnâ€™t easily quantifiable, nor is his excellent movement or his presence. Yet I know the influence Roy Keane had on us for so many years, with qualities that didnâ€™t appear on the stat sheet.

And on Adebayor, lets just see if he can continue the form next year. There are far too many football fans who jump to conclusions about players, mistaking purple patches with greatness.

For the team to win, it must have a balanced line-up..as i posted eralier, our back for were left vulnerable and hence the two goals, esp the second 1 and the many chances citie wasted, thank God they are not a team with a very strong attacking ability otherwise the scoreline would have been embarrsing. at least we needed to play a DM.

speaking of balance, rooney brings that balance upfront or at least another striker would have done,

what will happen when rooney calls it a day sometime?will you remember him as a united striker who never scored?will u convert his energy into stats?give me adebayor any day.he works more for the team and scores loads.he is young too.that is a striker.rooney does not bring the best out of ronaldo.the latter is simply too good.look at ronaldos record for portugal,is it rooney too?rooney for england?even crouch is better.
am not slating rooney but may be we need to look at the facts and put aside the notion that we support united folks.
does anyone have a problem with tevez?he scores,works hard.we are happy.if he ever underperforms,we question it.

karl,we have had rooney countless games but still needed ronaldos magic moment.dont use rooneys absence as an excuse.we have overrelied on ronaldo that fergie tells giggs and the rest of the team.go uot there,even if you dont play well you are assured of your spots,ronaldo will make the team look nice.
rooney has been one of the culprits and you know it.yes we missed him coz it could have given us another striker,but thats just about it.the continued selection of giggs and scholes is the cancer we need to treat

Karl: its always good to vent out the frustration of losing/drawing which are all the same to man utd fans as you pointed out because it just drives fans nuts when we watch our very expensive players play averagely.
