Like 'em or not United's marketing arm has been stellar since the Glazers took over. Have to admit that.

45 mil. for training kits? Even if it includes perimeter advertisement in Old Trafford that's ridiculously bad invested money.

Great deal for United, though.

DHL is equivalent of Fedex in Asia and you can sell warm water for top dollar if you put United's logo on the bottle there.

Crazy that last year's leading scorers Tevez and Berbatov have become bench players.

De Gea

Smalling - Jones - Evans - Fabio
Nani - Anderson - Cleverley - Young
-----Rooney----------Welbeck-------

Only Young, Rooney and Nani are over 23.

Pretty much what I expected except Evra is playing at left back.

man is the ball ever zooming around the pitch

Tottenham actually looks better than I expected. Modric should have played for Chelsea's sake

I don't recall ever seeing anything like this happen. Amazing

If you only listened to these commentators, you would think Tottenham's losing 3-0 at HT

I think Spurs have looked pretty good. Man Utd have shaded the first half, but Spurs have looked good going forward and fairly solid and well organised at the back.

Brad Friedel is a freaking monster.

2-0
great goal

Beautiful, back to front.

Beautiful goal. It would be at least 4-0 if not for the great goal keeping

There's De Gea's awkward moment of the night.

Post #457 » by **5DOM** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 8:44 pm

lol at VDV trying to test De Gea at every chance

edit: make that 3

This could have gotten ugly if Gomes was playing.

Tottenham completely collapsed in the second half. Really tough schedules early in the season for the North London clubs with them now facing United and City this weekend.

Got to say, if I am Arsenal's makeshift lineup and I just watched the second half of this game, I am very worried about the weekend.
