[Archived] Manchester United v BRFC Preview - Sat 31st December

[Amo]

Why no Riberio and Anderson if were short in defense

1. They're naff.

2. One more excuse for Kean to hide behind.

[Elvis McSmithy]

is petrovic starting then, im actually interested to see him play a full game, i know hes not rated by most on here but i still think he has huge potential if he can adjust and toughen up to the prem.

glad cryer brought they're names up in the preview show......serious questions need putting to kean post match as to where they are

[PAFELL]

When rovers supporters are being advised on national TV to hide behind the sofa prior to a televised match. We must be bad.

[Commondore]

I'm positive that we'll score, and that United won't get more than 5.

What does our formation look like on Sky, 4-3-2-1?

Bunn

Lowe, Samba, Hanley, Henley

Nzonzi, Petrovic, Pedersen

Formica, Rochina

Yakubu

[ABBEY]

So 3 starters who may not be here in feb...already got his injuries excuse ready !

Me too..I actually think he's just one of those who seems to need longer to adjust to the premiership-took Salgado 6 months if I remember correctly.

I think he may be a useful player next season in the championship if we do end up going down.

[BRFC1995]

a voice you want to punch is all i can say about kean on tv at the minute

dopey tosser does'nt realise the positive messages he's got are not from rovers supporters deluded just does'nt cut it

[John]

Craig Burley scathing and bang on the money.

[Stuart]

I love Robbie Savage. Rovers through-and-through.

"MYLES ANDERSON!!"

Proper punditry that.

[yorkblue]

At last a couple of pundits who can see what is going on. Craig Burley actually sounds really angry and Savage is just top quality.

[Stonesrick]

Just gonna sign off now and send an email to Catherine at the training ground to tell Stevie what a great job he is doing

[Tom]

Wow Linganzi is still a Rover, I always thought he looks decent but he must be bad if he is behind Petrovic and co.

Weakest bench we've ever had?

[Ferrit]

That's why Savage is a rovers legend, laying into Kean and venkys exactly what the fans are thinking.

Also mentioned myles Anderson which had me fist pumping.

Kean already laying his excuse out before a ball has even been kicked.

Hanley starts, could be a cricket score.

[Doug]

Just adopted the 'brace' position!

Andrew Magorrian on Twitter: "Fair play Steve Kean, abuse everyday, any other manager would have walked in his position, keep faith - use will stay up - FACT."

PatrickScully95 on Twitter: "Has to be the weakest United squad I've seen in a while, if Blackburn go at them today they could be there for the taking!"

Lewis Bates on Twitter: "Blackburn boss Steve Kean has to be man of the year. 2 take such abuse and hounding from his own fans and still lead his team out each week"

From BBC live football page.

Lol

[cn174]

I know a minor thing, but why are we playing in that crappy yellow kit again like last week. We always play in blue and white at OT and Anfield.

Have noticed the BBC constantly pick out sympathetic tweets for Kean.

Sky and BBC's basic position is the fans are a bunch of ungrateful w@nkers and Steve Kean is a dignified, brave hero fighting against a torrent of abuse. It's pathetic.

[hesfromburn]

we are doing ok so far, but its got a feeling of its only a matter of time.

[Tom]

Like someone said its so people notice it a presume the yellow and black scattered around is the away kit

[Stonesrick]

This is just like a pre-season friendly and we are the Championship side.

[Amo]

Like someone said its so people notice it a presume the yellow and black scattered around is the away kit

Do we credit that to Agnew the mastermind?

[AJW]

it is actually ridiculous that seemingly fit players such as Roberts and salgado have omiited from the squad when you look at that subs bench

[ABBEY]

9 Behind the ball !! No way to play at man ure

[hesfromburn]

henley is doing ace, formica is doing crap so far, he can go if he carry's on playing like this, i would look to swap him for simon.
