I would say that Di Maria is tied with Hazard as the most talented and gifted player in the league.

Both are utterly unplayable (like Hazard was yesterday) when playing well.

Sorry but hazard is more talented and gifted especially in terms of decision making and scoring. Dimaria is just at his peak but once hazard has more consistency, they wouldn't be in the same conversation.

They had 70% possession so they were not tested at all in defense. We'll see how they fare against teams that puts pressure pressing and force them to defend.

They have no European football so I think they'll enjoy liverpool's advantage last season of having a full week to rest and practice opposition tactics, so they might knick fourth spot.

But the distance between them and us/ mancity is too much for them to pose any threat to the title.

"Would love to see a mock image of Mourinho saying "How am I doing boss?" with Roman smiling down at him.

I would probably piss myself laughing"..... sorry to post this again but does anyone have the original cartoon (link) the scousers made ?

I cannot believe how much hype and bull shit surrounded united today, it was as if today was their first game of the season and the media after the game was nothing short of laughable..

This media wank fest for Manure is good. let them have it let'em believe they beat the fucking Barca not the fact that QPR is the shitest football team in prem ATM which come end of the league they will go back to where they really belong! I even encourage it! Does us a lot of good.

[Chelsea? 892]

If they didn't beat qpr, they'd be talking about relegation

On a side note, its good that United have got these new signings BEFORE facing any of City, Liverpool or Everton.

Would have been disappointed if one of the other top teams had already faced and taken advantage of United in their weakened state...

[The_Flash 1,144]

The over the top reaction about Utd was bit of a joke it was against Qpr, FFS!!

The headlines are ridiculous, all this awesome UTD, they've found their spark, it's pathetic

Ah well I've decided to try not worry about other teams and focus on us and our games

i understand Redknapp is considered to be a good manager in England, they wanted him to be the coach of the national team, but i really think he's awful. Never saw his team defending. its like he throws a ball and says 'play'. He's the manager of QPR for 2-3 seasons and they always look like shit and he cant change that for a bit, with all of their quite nice names they bring in they keep looking like there's no one coaching them. Exactly like Pardew in Newcastle. i like the fact there is more teams with nice squads like them, but with those managers they look pathtic.

QPHAHAHAHAHA

I better stay away from today headlines from newspaper online until after Schalke match.

Redknapp is so overrated. Other than winning the FA Cup with Portsmouth, his career has been pretty average...

If QPR don't get relegated this season, they will be very lucky...

As for Newcastle....what can you say about them? They gave Alan Pardew an 8 year contract last season...which makes no sense

Apparently Blind is the second coming of Redondo.. All I saw him do is play passes to the nearest player under 0 pressure and recover a few balls because of some terrible play by QPR. I've seen Carrick and Arteta put in much better performances and they didn't get anywhere near this kind of praise.. Mikel can do what Blind did.

Di Maria and Herrera were far more impressive. So was Rooney.

And the same people were saying Costa was gonna flop, after winning the Spanish league and reaching the CL finals. These muppets come in (not only Blind, but also Rojo and Herrera) having proven nothing at the top level, they play one decent game against whatever that QPR side was, and Hallelujah!!

Edit: Di Maria is a monster, don't get me wrong.

It's fine. I hope they're favourites for the title now.

The uproar after a United........and it's rare :lol:
