purpleronnie Posted 17 December 2009 Posted 17 December 2009 £42 is what we have to look forward to paying if we got promoted! That and getting thrashed every week.
Ultra Posted 17 December 2009 Posted 17 December 2009 It wasnt a weak team, it had 8 regular first teams players, 1 £2m sub who started this season by helping knock out Villa in the Europa League, A player who cost £1.1m and started for the first team against Chelsea. It was only George Friend who was not normally involved in the first team. But look who has slated us in the press tonight for damaging ‘the international credibility of the Premier League’ and handing Manchester United an unfair advantage by sending out a team of reserves at Old Trafford? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...e.html?ITO=1490 Don't bother about it - this is the same manager who once put out a second-string side for a cup final (back in the days when he was able to reach one...) While what McCarthy did may be questionable from an ethical point of view, it's no different to what Neil Warnock did when Sheff Utd went to Old Trafford - or what many other managers have done on various occasions in recent years. The PL may bark - but I'd be surprised to see it bite.
lou Posted 17 December 2009 Posted 17 December 2009 Wenger on the radio this morning crying about it.... weve had to play 3 games in 6 days boo hoo hoo, we have to play 38 games in a season not 37 boo hoo hoo. If its that much of a problem Wenger, get yourselves relegated to the CCC, drop out of the Champions League and let someone else compete in them if you cant manage it... tosser!
surrifox Posted 17 December 2009 Posted 17 December 2009 this is Wolves we are talking about - they could send out their first team and reserve team at the same time and still lose to most sides in the division
Tilley Posted 20 December 2009 Posted 20 December 2009 Bet no one is bothered now. Another good three points for Wolves.
Edmund Posted 20 December 2009 Posted 20 December 2009 Mick got it spot on. Was a massive over reaction from the fans and others making a meal of it. I wonder if those fans fans are still wanting Mick out? I somehow highly doubt it. Fickle football fans
purpleronnie Posted 20 December 2009 Posted 20 December 2009 Why did he?, who knows what a full strength squad could of got against a misfiring utd, and the chances are they would have beaten Burnley anyway, they're terrible away from home.
Edmund Posted 20 December 2009 Posted 20 December 2009 Misfiring United Two defeats and now their misfiring United. Wolves wouldn't have walked away from Old Trafford with any points. He's kept the squad harmony in tact and not taken any risks. Nothing wrong with that coupled with a win today using rested players

He's kept the squad harmony in tact and not taken any risks. Nothing wrong with that coupled with a win today using rested players 5 losses in 18 premier league games is most definitely misfiring for a club like United.

He's kept the squad harmony in tact and not taken any risks. Nothing wrong with that coupled with a win today using rested players They certainly dont look as good as previous seasons, already lost more games this season than last, but anyone who states now his decision to rest players is justified must be able to predict the future...or past.
Edmund Posted 20 December 2009 Posted 20 December 2009 They certainly dont look as good as previous seasons Still second in the league, and I think they finished top of their CL group. Hardly misfiring. must be able to predict the future...or past. who knows what a full strength squad could of got against a misfiring utd, and the chances are they would have beaten Burnley anyway, they're terrible away from home. Isn't that what your doing above? Predicting what would have happened if he'd played a full strength team? At the end of the day we both disagree and no one will know what would've happened but at least I give explanation and reason whereas your just boldly predicting.

No I'm stating who knows what they would have done so you cant say either way...THATS MY POINT!
Edmund Posted 20 December 2009 Posted 20 December 2009 No I'm stating who knows what they would have done so you cant say either way...THATS MY POINT! But the fact is with hindsight it looks like Mick got it spot on which you disagreed with but have failed to give a good reason why apart from a "mis firing United team". I still think Wolves hadn't a chance in hell with walking away with any points and by playing a reserve side, has kept his side fresh for Burnley and got a very important win. ... THATS MY POINT!

ozleicester Posted 21 December 2009 Posted 21 December 2009 Fulham took points from Manure... really did anyone expect them to? NO! A similar thing COULD have occurred for Wolves at Old Trafford.. except that McCarthy GAVE UP before he started. It is a sad view indictment on Mc Carthy's belief in his team, that he did not believe they were good enough to beat (or at least match) manure. IMO its quite simple... you put the best side out every week and you try your damdest to win every game!!
Samilktray Posted 21 December 2009 Posted 21 December 2009 I expected Fulham to get something from a Yanited team with fuck all defense, aswell as Fulham being pretty tough to beat at home.
lou Posted 21 December 2009 Posted 21 December 2009 I expected Fulham to get something from a Yanited team with fuck all defense, aswell as Fulham being pretty tough to beat at home. So did I, partly because they beat them last season, theyre starting to become the new Man U bogey team. One of my relatives does the pitch at Fulham and a certain scottish manager did not want that game to go ahead on Saturday, insisting the pitch wasnt playable but the ref wasnt having any of it.
MikeyT Posted 21 December 2009 Posted 21 December 2009 Not me I wont be paying those prices! No way will I either. Can't afford the prices now let alone that much money.
Uncle Albert Posted 21 December 2009 Posted 21 December 2009 I think this is massive overeaction but Mcarthy's interview after yesterdays game made him look a total pillock, such a bellend.
Mark2308 Posted 27 March 2010 Posted 27 March 2010 Sorry for ressurecting this but was discussing this with a mate today. 2 points. 1) Looks like Wolves are going to stay up. Ok, so maybe they would have still stayed up regardless of resting players / winning against Burnley but at least next season they might be in a position to take Man U on at OT? 2) If we got promoted next season, how would you feel if NP did the same thing? I'd be OK with it providing it was a complete one-off.
