United thread 2013/14 (continued)

But I thought jizjazz had been at utd since he was 12?!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but fair play to Ryan Joseph Wilson (Ryan Giggs) for starting James Wilson last night.

There's a lot of talented young players in this league who simply aren't getting a chance. Most other managers would have played it safe and not started their relatives* as they wouldn't want to be accused of nepotism. Just look at John Bond, Paul Ince and Brian Clough.

Obviously I don't buy into this whole "United way" crap everywhere, but it's good to see a young English player get a chance in the first team in a game that doesn't really matter if Spurs don't balls it up on Sunday.

Although I did find it funny that Giggs, aged 40, was older than the combined ages of both debutants.

*Disclaimer: I don't know if they are related or not.

Makes me really excited for the future. I'm not surprised though. This just shows that we still do things "The United Way" and long may it continue.

Fucking brilliant Bammy

brilliant :))

Paul Hince as well I think.


Whoops just noticed already posted.

Does that idiot even realise if they were within a few points of the title going into the last two games of the season then that kid wouldn't have had a sniff of the bench, let alone started as the main striker........

The only reason he got a start is because it was a 'nothing' match which they couldn't care less about winning apart from getting an ego stroke.

The winner for "Most retarded and incomprehensible post ever" goes to this rag on redcafe, posted in the first half of our game vs Villa. I can only presume he only started watching football this season.

Typical City - they are trying to be like United and make their fans suffer. Bloody hell can't believe I am sitting here getting annoyed at them.

The desperation of rags, and the depths they plumb never ceases to amaze me

Play it safe? Giggs had no reason to - knows he's out of a job in a week, knows United have nothing to play for, and a cynical person might say he did the sentimental thing to boost his own reputation. If United were playing for anything last night, those two lads would have been watching from their sofas. It was basically PR, a bit like when Mancini brought Reece Wabara on against Bolton a few years ago at the end of the season.

Again, let's see where these two are after United get through their 'war chest' and then let's see the (non-)criticism they get for blocking the paths of these youngsters when an Edinson Cavani or Kevin Strootman is lining up in red.

Maybe a little cynical, but you're probably right.

It was still a big call to play Wilson ahead of van Persie IMO.

And I agree with you that these youngsters probably won't get anywhere near the team after their summer spending, I was just saying it's good to see a young English player get a chance in the Premiership.

There's far more talented young players in this league than people think, they just aren't getting the opportunities.

If van Gaal coaches United next year there will be some youngsters playing.

Maybe Giggs wanted to show that he is as good as van Gaal... ;)

So van Gaal had the guts to play 2 newbies in all CL matches until the final and when one of them was booked to play a 17-year-old newbe in the CL-semi-finals... ;)

Against a Steve Bruce team in tribunal mode, some twats already said Wilson is the closest thing they've seen to Ian Rush

errr..

Villa were playing in withe and claret quartered shirts, so err.
Nope...

BTW

a RAWK punter tried pulling the same stunt , and , in fairness to the dippers, was lambasted for it

But then again , the dipper fans were probs actually watching it , whereas , anonymous mid-table rags probs weren't

LOL at those sad plastics
