Hatem Ben Arfa - Life at United

(French Accent with average English:P)

"It's interesting yes, each day differs, one day you could be trying to hit targets long range, next you're speed passing with Paul Scholes. The coaches all fantastic, they all spend equal time with everyone, and that time is more than enough, things are good. France I err, miss, but I used to England now, but I not sure about being here. I don't feel I get good playing time, and Nani, Valencia, Young and Bale are in better form than I, then with legend Ronaldo being linked here I will have small chance. My future I will decide at the finish of this season."

Well done, but don't stop.

A note was pinned up against the dressing room door, when the team arrived Wayne Rooney ripped it off and read it to the entire team

To everyone,
I want to congratulate you on all your performances these couple of months, we have won 10 out of 14 in all competitions, only loosing two, both by extremely small margins, I couldn't wish from better for you. To keep me happy I have to keep you happy, and the reason I am not here today is I am busy organising something to make you happy, I'm not saying any more. I'll see you all later.

Fergie

P.S Tell Rene to increase the intensity of the training.

Unlucky results put us three points behind City. Everton and Arsenal are ready to overtake us, so we must keep it tight.



After a close encounter with Birmingham we are now out of the Capital One Cup 2012/13



Piece of cake this group. The remaining one game will be a chance to rest first team players.

Cleverley's silver pining

"How would you assess the season so far from a personal perspective?"
"At the start of the season, the first thing I wanted was to be injury free. Including internationals and Olympics I’ve played about 12 games already this season so that’s out of my mind, and that’s been nice. I’ve made more appearances for the club than I did in the whole of last season, but it’s only December and there’s still a long way to go. I want to get as many appearances as I can and hopefully help the team to win some silverware."

"What’s different about the team this year, as opposed to last year?"
"Obviously we’ve all got the experience of last year and so we know how hurt we were on the last day. We’ve got a couple of additions: Shinji, Robin, Alex and Nick, and they’ve all done well. There’s a great team spirit. There was last year, too, to be fair, but there’s a good feeling around the place which is fantastic and to me it just feels like a group of winners. Hopefully we can do it."

"Is there a feeling around Carrington that this could be a special season?"
"I’m not thinking like that. Obviously I’m dreaming of it and I’m ambitious, but then again it’s only December. We’re just taking each game as it comes and working as hard as we possibly can."

FA Cup 3rd Round Draw

Burnley face the impossible as they visit Old Trafford to try and progress to the next round

Something tells me you will lose against Burnley

2013-01-27 02:27#79050 Shanked : Something tells me you will lose against Burnley

I have that feeling as well

This story has just pushed me to get off my lazy butt and get back to my Man Utd save. Also, how's the 4-2-3-1 formation working out for you? When I tried it I left gaps between my midfield and defense so I just stuck to a 4-4-2 with a slight tweak.

my 4-2-3-1 has made 61 goals for us and made us concede 30 in all competitions.
