Anderson Is A Lucky Boy

The stories had been going around since yesterday afternoon that Anderson had been involved in a car accident.

Confirmed reports today reveal just how lucky Anderson is to not only still have his career in front of him, but his life too.

It’s hard to avoid going Hollywood on you here, as he was pulled “lifeless” from the burning wreckage of a car, before it exploded.

According to reports in Portugal, where the crash occurred, Anderson has picked up a reputation this summer for his partying lifestyle. He left the Sardinha Biba nightclub in the Geres area of Braga and crashed in to a wall at 7am. He was in a two-seater Audi R8 with a friend, Victor, and a Brazilian woman, and it is unknown who was driving.

The Gestifute agency, which represents Anderson, said Anderson had suffered an “almighty scare” but would be returning to Manchester to continue his rehabilitation, whilst a spokesperson for the hospital where Anderson spent a couple of hours talked of only “minor injuries”.

Anderson is now the centre of a police investigation in Portugal and could be up for drink driving charges.

This is not the ‘Manchester United way’ and I can only imagine what Sir Alex Ferguson is going to do when he gets wind of this. The midfielder’s attitude has been poor and getting involved in something like this is hardly proving to the manager he is taking his rehabilitation from injury and his United career seriously.

Anderson disappeared off to Brazil at the start of the year without the club’s permission, following limited playing time after some substandard performances.

“I went to Brazil to think about my future and not to negotiate with other clubs,” he said on his return. “This is very hard for me because I need minutes on the field during the coming matches. I always had a good relation with Ferguson. He has asked me for more effort and I accept that, but I need more chances to play in the first team. The decision not to ask me to travel to Milan was down to the coach. I just hope I have more luck and can play in the return game. I am a professional footballer and my responsibility is to United. Am I happy? I would say I am optimistic. If I play more games then I will be happy. But that is normal. Some European clubs have asked about me but, as far as I am concerned, my future is still with United. I am not finished here and I’m convinced that I can offer much to this team in the decisive moments of the season.”

That very same evening, Anderson started for United against West Ham and ruptured his cruciate.

Does he have a United future? We’re two weeks away from the start of the season, Anderson is supposed to be working hard to be back for the end of September, and he’s boozing it up until 7am in a club. I’ll back the manager whatever on this one. Not impressed, Ando.

Rewind three years: “I could not imagine I would ever get to work with a manager like Sir Alex Ferguson but it has happened. What can I say? It is a dream the size of the world. Ever since I was a boy I always wanted to play for Manchester United and now that dream has come true. I am very happy.”

    Shit lucky boy.

  3. RedScot says:

    Sending you a kiss from my heart to yours where ever you are in Hospital, God bless mate.
    Stay lucky*

  4. asidfg says:

    lets all thank God for the lads life… life 1st, utd 2nd, then fo0tball…

  5. boam6 says:

    With this sort of behaviour he won’t be at united much longer

  6. RedScot says:

    Long exhale ? wot the fuck does that mean

  7. boam6 says:

    Glad he’s ok though!! That comment seemed heartless! Just pissed off because he seems such a talent

  8. willierednut says:

    Fucking idoit, but happy he’s ok.

  9. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    when i heard this yesterday i taught, silly anderson fergie will be pissed

    but reading the full story i think very lucky anderson everyone can be so relieved

    if he was drunk it’ll be sorted if it was an accent it will be sorted but the full story is thank fuck he’s still alive

  10. Micky says:

    What a dickhead.

  11. Costas says:

    Glad that Ando is alive. That’s the most important.

    Secondly, at this rate, his United career will be lifeless for good.

  12. willierednut says:

    I think SAF will be more than pissed.

  13. Lanaya says:

    whats wrong with those brazilians?!!! they can’t seem to adopt a serious attitude!! they all have partying problems, anderson,ronaldo,ronaldinho robinho…that is so unprofeesional

  14. UNITED4life says:

    Oh God! he’s so lucky man. I know Fergi would also be happy for the lad but i don’t know what he feels about such kind of behaviour. He was suppose to work on his rehab to make himself ready for the new season.

  15. Lanaya says:

    P.s: that should open the door for ozil to come in, and we can cash in on ando if we dont have the money!

  16. Costas says:

    @Lanaya

    Adriano as well. Rivaldo is one of the few top class Brazilians that was also a consumate professional.

  17. ben says:

    what a dick, how is he supposed to respect the club and the fans when he can’t respect his own life??
    he had the world at his feet when he signed for united and his unprofessional behaviour and bad attitude has fucked it all up. This is the reason why we shouldn’t sign balotelli, he’s another cock.

  18. sprite says:

    ok, my opinion of this kid just changed drastically..

  19. Belgo-Irish Red says:

    @Costas
    Roberto Carlos is a good pro too. I agree with Lanaya though.

  20. Costas says:

    One thing is for sure. I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes the next time he comes face to face with Sir Alex.

    @Belgo-Irish Red

    Yeah correct. And if we go a bit further back, Romario striked me as someone who was preofessional.

  21. RedScot says:

    Mind one Goal in his ALL Time Old Trafford appearance’s maybe just a few refreshments to many to relax. Eh. lol.
    Truely wish him a happy recovery.I think I will sign on to Moon pig to send a Get well soon card.
    I will write on it Dear Anderson heard you were pissed, got nabbed.Up in Court! lol
    When you get back home lol. Can you start fucking scoring some goals. and reduce some fuckin weight.

  22. Costas says:

    Off topic, but has anyone heard anything about Evra? He is not pencilled to play in Wednesday’s friendly where our WC players will return.

  23. UNITED4life says:

    @costas
    he was given an extra week on top of other WC players

  24. parryheid says:

    Ta Ta ando,your right in shit creek up to your neck.I can think of better players for United wh’ve had their arses booted out the door for less.Master McGrath for one.

  25. Gudjohnsen says:

    He desperately needs to pull a Nani. Get his head down, work hard and grab his opportunities when he gets them.

    Why can’t all players be like Scholes off the pitch?

    I hope he’s ok and will get better soon. I’m sure Sir Alex wants to have a word with him soon about this mess.

  26. Giles Oakley says:

    Sad business. Hope he’s OK and learns something from this. He’s got so much potential as a footballer it would be a real shame if he fritters it away. When he’s lolling about in some bar aged 35 drinking away his regrets he may just come to realise how he threw it all away. But it’s not too late, and Fergie’s the one to sort him out, unless he’s already decided the character flaws run too deep. Like Scott I’d back the manager all the way on this. Maybe his pal Nani could have a word, having come close to the brink himself.

  27. Costas says:

    @UNITED4life

    Ok, thanks. That’s him out of the Chelsea game then. But he will probably make the Newcastle game.

  28. willierednut says:

    I think Ando’s a lucky boy that Hargo has had his injury problems, or he might have been already out on his ear.

  29. Paul H says:

    So let me get this straight, (allegedly) he was driving a 2 seated car, with his pal AND a woman AND he might have been DUI?!? If he’d been caught on my local roads indulging in this disgraceful behaviour, I’d want him sent down, let alone never to be seen in a United shirt again.

    One word for you, Anderson: Edmundo.

    Of course, not spotting the fact that there was a 3rd person in the cavernous cabin of the R8 and getting mineral water mixed up with vodka are easy mistakes anyone could make….

    I think a place in the 25 just opened up.

  30. portugueseprincess says:

    The thing with Anderson is that since he’s been in Portugal he has been going to nightclubs. Not good when he is trying to recover. Having said that, I am hugely glad that he is ok and I hope he has learned his lesson.

  31. rooney the new king says:

    I am sick and tired of this guy, he thought he arrived in his debut season, at the start of his non playing united career, he is with ronaldo and nani by screwing some girls they met on a one night stand. He was ok in his first season, since then he thinks that is enough he has been shit the past 2 seasons, and PPL want and think he is the replacement too paul scholes, hey lets give him a chance because he is young which is the typical text book excuse too give him time, this is the problem with younger players these days, they think they have arrived before they have done it, anderson is not a hasbeen, he is a never was.

    Giving this guy another chance has he can solve the midfield problems out, is just suicidle, its about damn time united gave cleverly a big chance, and get rid of this brazilian who keeps blowing every chance he gets, he is only here still? because he is brazilian, and he came with some reputation, we payed a fee for him also, while cleverly is held back because we never signed him.

  32. Costas says:

    I think his situation has gone beyond Nani’s. When Ando lost the plot before the Hull game, that’s when he reached the same brink that Nani did in December. And 6 months later not a lot appears to have changed. I really hope it serves as a wake up call for him because if it doesn’t, our midfield situation won’t be too encouraging. Espcially if (God forbid) Fletch gets injured.

  33. Brian says:

    Man… as a fellow Brasilero, I’ve always hoped Anderson all the best and a little bit more. The game at Stamford Bridge the past season really showed what he can do, but he has not been consistent.

    I hope this entire experience turns him into a determined evangelico sort like Kaka and brings out the best in him.

  34. eddieTheRed says:

    That’s the end of Anderson at Old Trafford; I’m disappointed because I thought he could make it and I can’t forget how he marked Steven Gerard out of the game at Anfield in 2007, forcing the “boy-wonder” all the way back to the halfway line to hit long – balls to Fernando Torres.

    But right now he reminds me of the worst days of Jermaine Penant when he was still at Arsenal; always injured; always out; always drunk; and “mystery” accidents; it’s a pity but SAF will read this with his eyes closed; so long Anderson!

  35. willierednut says:

    The attitude of the lad stinks, really can’t see a future at United unless we see a dramatic change in his lifestyle, or maybe i’m going ott, i don’t know.

  36. UNITED4life says:

    @Costas

    i don’t think we will have any problem against newcastle Fabio is a good deputy there.

  37. Kevos says:

    the kid is enjoying life, fair play to him.

  38. rooney the new king says:

    I have seen players over the years, bust their asses in the gym trying too get into shape and in great physical condition, too reclaim their place. Where is the hunger the desire the will, the fire in the belly of anderson, too work hard day in day out, even night and day too get a career at united.

    Has I see it he would rather go too nightclubs rather than in the gym or other forms of excercise too get back in the united team, look at giggs over the years in the gym recovering from so many injurys, keane’s knee injury in 98, he is sleeping eating the day he is back in the engine room of united, scholes in 2006 working his ass off too once again recapture the form on 98 03 etc, gary neville has worked day in day out night in night out too once again, feel the breeze of putting that united shirt and leading the team to victorys. If you want too make it at united after a big injury and you are in night clubs, instead of getting back into the gym and reclaim your place at united then you might is well leave united because has I see it, he does not have that commitment too go that extra mile

  39. portugueseprincess says:

    Guys, have a look at his car….so lucky!
    http://jn.sapo.pt/PaginaInicial/Desporto/Interior.aspx?content_id=1631731

  40. Costas says:

    @UNITED4life

    Yep. O’Shea as well, who is more dependable than Fabio from a defensive standpoint. Hope Evra enjoys his extra break, because if one player deserved itm it’s him.

  41. Costas says:

    @RTNK

    I will agree that on current evidence, Cleverley deserves to be in the first team squad more than Anderson. There’ s still one problem though. If we can’t depend on Hargeaves and Anderson, we don’t have someone other than Fletcher to break down opposition attacks.

  42. doubletrouble says:

    I’m very disapponted

  43. Belgo-Irish Red says:

    His career can go two ways at this stage: either he’ll be another sad Brazilian waste, or this will be the wake up call he needed. He couldn’t wish for anyone better than Sir Alex to help him get his life back on track.

  44. eddieTheRed says:

    btw, that car doesn’t look too bad; he’s lost the front and rear bumper assemblies and he’s buckled the chassis; but I don’t see any major damage to the passenger cell and I don’t see any evidence of airbags deployed; if he was “lifeless” when dragged out of the car then maybe he just went to sleep, eh?

  45. rooney the new king says:

    Costas – there is no question united have mellowed with players, say the late 90s early millenium all the way up to 2006 united management staff were a cut throat management staff. no player lasted more than 2 years, fergie’s stance, you fail in season 2 of your united career you are out the door. Tevez would be the last player who would last 2 seasons and he went.

    I have had enough of the guy, we have got allot of players in the way of either intergrating youth players, like? cleverly, even the likes of gibson, who I think is very unpridictable, he reminds me of lampard and I have never rated lampard very overated player, take the goals away from lampard, and his overall game is poor, that is like gibson.

    But carrick is another problem, if he has another poor season, united have big problems in the engine room, and we may need rooney hernandes berbatov nani valencia giggs macheda and our defence too overshadow our midfield options which are on thin ice now. And another reason, with us stuck with croaks like hargreaves and anderson and carrick on a possible decline, has he is now in his 30s, we may not have the means too buy a midfielder and put him on the wage structure with the likes of anderson carrick and hargreaves in the way, it stunnes me if we do not buy a midfielder when it is really on thin ice, all united need is someone like L diarra, who can break the play up and give us more legs too get about the pitch and do battle in that midfield, because fletcher did way too much last season and I could see he felt tired.

  46. rooney the new king says:

    it also never helps with this new 25 man squad rule

  47. Jim says:

    The *long exhale* just sums up my thoughts really.
    We don’t know any of the real details, but lets face it! It’s the last thing the kid needed. I’m glad he’s alive but it doesn’t do him any favours regarding the playboy lifestyle he is supposed to lead.

  48. RedScot says:

    Fucking great, am away to inhale some crack.girl friend in a Newcastle KIT, who’s is gonna gert a humpin. 16TH Canna wait
    Bring it on.

  49. mikekelly12 says:

    I am pretty sure he will not play for Manchester United again! A bright prospect who had too many misses than hits during his short United career. A player in that position should be moving heaven and earth to prove the doubters wrong and come back all guns blazing. The boy had choices, choices that many of us would give our right arm for. His choice was to put United second in the pecking order behind his Charlie big potaters lifestyle, a lifestyle which was incidetally provided to him by the football club he seems to have forgotten about. I for one will respect any decision SAF makes on this matter, however, I will certainly not lose any sleep if he never wears our famous shirt ever again!

  50. Spookluke says:

    If this isn’t a wake up call for him to get his arse in gear then he can well and truly kiss his first team opportunities goodbye. What a waste.

    rooney the new king says

    You absolutely spot on mate, I just only want to add Ando earns a hefty money like the others who you mentioned. He wasn’t doing the same “job” what “colleagues” did when got big injuries… If I don’t do my job, I’ll get fired, simple

  52. Toms says:

    Gah. He looked so good during his first year. He’s going to the standard brazillian route.. though a bit earlier than normal.

  53. back to hull and back says:

    thanks god ando is grand but thats the end of his united time here

  54. blindkat says:

    C’mon ya’ll I’m reading an awful lot of bullshit holier than thou, he is an awful person, for getting in a car wreck, or trying to get laid means he doesn’t respect United nobody has proved he was shitcanned driving around portugal looking to kill some family or some shit yet. Those of you who have never made a mistake feel free to throw stones but a lot more of you need to shut hte fuck up because you do exactly what you are condemning him of on a weekly basis at least. Im not saying drunk driving is cool but ease up on the overly righteous indignation til the facts are in Going out doesn’t mean fuck the world, if you or i were in his shoes we would be doing the exact same thing if not something way worse.

  55. YorYor says:

    SAF wouldn’t like this very much at all.
    He’s gonna have to cross his fingers many times over if he is to convince SAF he deserves a second chance.
    blindka, fact is, I don’t see all our other young academy players / reserves players do the same thing. Not especially when you’re supposed to be rehabilitating and trying to get back your fitness is supposed to be one of the priorities. It’s like calling in sick but your boss appears in the pub – he’s not going to be impressed, whatever you might think.

  56. Doghouse says:

    After what’s just happened to the guy I think I’m going to lay off any scathing judgements. He nearly died, he nearly killed two more people, he didn’t, and by some miracle he’ll probably still be able to play football. What he does in the face of this turn of events will define him, as a United player, as a footballer, hell as a man. I’m not going to begrudge the guy going off and getting shitfaced in the closed season, and these kind of things can easily go a bit crazy. I mean on holiday a few beers can turn into, well, anything, but I would hope he’ll unfuck his headwiring after this, for his own sake.

    Really though it’s a case of In Fergie We Trust, he turned the showpony Ronaldo into a thoroughbred, he tamed the volcano that is Rooney, he got Rio to grow up and he has matched wits and broken all the other great managers of the age. If there’s one man in the world can set the boy right, and one team where it can happen, it’s Fergie and United.

  57. jamiemufc1974 says:

    dear oh dear oh dear. i’m all for giving players a chance to prove themselves and i will always be a fan of ando. his first season was immense but since then its gone slightly tits up. Its attitude as well as aptitude and ability anderson lad. Get rid fergie and give gibbo a proper go. Does he moan? does he go clubbin till 7am and drive home pissed(or get in a car with someone else who is?) does he fuck.

    how gutted are we that 2 of our best players when fit are staring the end of their united careers in the face??? Wouldnt mind so much but their songs are phenomenal!

    “anderson son son and curly hair too” are epic! hope it all works out for em but cant see it somehow???

    off topic…or is it??? ozil rumours wont fuck off! hmmm???

  58. denton davey says:

    blindkat @ 2:15: “I’m reading an awful lot of bullshit holier than thou”

    Agreed – all we really know is that there was an accident, early in the morning, with three people in a two-seater car. I don’t see how this “disrespects” UTD – or even how it can be connected with his recovery from a serious cruciate injury. Obviously, Anderson is not a choir boy and not a monk; some of the very best athletes have a hard time juggling too much money, too much fame, too soon. He’s had a serious brush with death and what I hear from too many people is that SAF will let him know that he would wish he was dead ! Fergy is a hard-nose but he’s not an inflexible dictator – he knows that his players come in all shapes, sizes, and colours. His great strength as a man-manager is that he tries to understand his players as people, not automatons. Perhaps Anderson has burned his final bridge – but, then, perhaps not. Unless you know more about this situation, it’s premature to cast stones from your glass houses.

  59. jamiemufc1974 says:

    @blindkat, he’s not me or you or a normal kid, he’s a pro footballer at manchester united earning 50 grand+ a week! Sorry if i start to sound condecending or holier than thou. I feel as a match goin member who only earns 20 grand a year! i have a right to bollock him if he brings the name of my football club into the gutter and disrespects our manager after spending 17 mill bringin him here just for him to ave one good season in 3 and get in a car pissed at 7am in portugal! I go out wi me mates, and yeah i can understand they”re millionaires but a bit of common sense must surely come into play when they exit a night spot? If not maybe they’re out with security/bodyguards?? surely someone should have stopped him gettin in the car??? whatever the point is, would you ever see giggsy,scholsey,gaz,edwin,gettin into that sort of shite??? not in a million years, even when they were ando’s age.

  60. the exterminator says:

    phew …. thank god , our 16 million dint go in drain…

  61. xbobbites says:

    I bet all this ranting and raving we’re all doing here will not compare to what SAF has in store for a million years. What Ando did is stupid? Absofuckinglutely yes. Call a cab taxi or something. but i wouldnt put him past what just happened. I’m not gonna get mad at him b/c Fergie is gonna take care of him. If SAF lets him stay at UTD he’ gonna be walking on eggs and he better make the best of it

  62. Chicharito14 says:

    You are all getting way ahead of yourself, lay off the boy and give him another chance.

  63. United says:

    Thank god he is alive. On a separate note, no need to criticize him too much, too much fame too soon just like every other young athlete

  64. Balders says:

    Sorry Anderson, no room for you AND your ego

  65. stubiedoo says:

    Sell him quick before nobody wants him.Unless its too late already

  66. Dr.hannibal says:

    This won’t go down well with fergie, but again he is young and naive ,fergie will pardon him n will give example of nani and other youngsters at club with giggsy ,scholes having a word n supporting the lad.
    Should be o.k ..Ando should think as there is no substitute for hard work and get back fully fit n compete in midfeiled.. Feel sorry for him :(

  67. United says:

    He has potential, but he needs to play in his preferred spot, he is another one where being given too many defensive duties stifles his abilities. The comparison isn’t robust but it is a bit like Veron who used to get a lot of criticism from our fans. He was a fantastic player who unfortunately was thrust into a situation which didn’t suit him. Look at Riquelme when he used to play for Argentina, he has 2 midfielders around him doing the running for him.

  68. maci says:

    GET WELL SOON LAD!!!
    U A LEGEND MATE!

  69. CROoney says:

    anderson is a retarded fuckin idiot….. end of….send him the fuck home – fuckin stagnated AMF who can’t score…it’s a disgrace his behaviour

  70. ShawnJozi says:

    Any pics of the wreckage?

  71. wiuru says:

    Im glad that he and his pasengers are safe and well. As is so often the case in these things it would of been the families dealing with the grief and aftermath , had it ended differantly !

    Im not going to 2nd guess SAF but a very serious error of judgement by this young lad is not a good start to his season . Perhaps with his attention now focused on how lucky he has been , The chances are he can become the person and player we expected him to be ?

  72. LUCIUSKORR says:

    as a human being, i would like to say you’re lucky.

    as a mAn utd fan, i would like to say you are one STUPID BASTARD!!!

  73. Eight08 says:

    Feel for the lad, such a talent. but fuckin’ hell son, you almost killed yourself!

  74. bealsy says:

    Daily Mail saying Ando wasn’t driving it was the male friend….

  75. aig alex is god says:

    He is lucky no doubt but i am more than confident he will not learn anything from this. Its time for him to put the hammer down and concentrate on his football. His mindset is not that of a United player imo. Lost faith and respect in him the day he went AWOL and criticized SAF

  76. Costas says:

    It’s not hollier than thou to critisize someone for not being professional. It’s just the facts. And no, not everyone in his shoes would do the same. I’d never drive while I was drunk. Especially if I was responsible for other lives.

    Life is always the number 1 priority and I am happy that he and his passengers are ok. But I am beginning to get fed up with him. Back in 07-08 he was one of my favourite United players. I cut him some slack after his second season wasn’t as good. I also cut him some slack when he took his ball and went home(and by that I mean Brazil) when he found out he was dropped from the Hull game. I really hope this waked him up because it will be a true shame to see such a talent wasted like that.

  77. busby says:

    Nothing wrong with going on the odd pisser or to the club but I really hope he wasn’t drunk driving. I have nothing against players going out and being playboys, but only if they are putting in the hours in training. Last season Anderson was overweight and it took him until late November just to get into playing shape, when he had a great performance against Chelsea. He could have been performing like that all season if he was dedicated! He is not Ronaldinho or fat Ronaldo, he has not made it to the very top yet or even somewhere close. He is at the club that can get him there, how badly does he want it?

  78. Costas says:

    I stand corrected on that. Some sites say that the identity of the driver is not known yet, while, as bealsy says, the Daily Mail says that it wasn’t Ando.

  79. bigphil2003 says:

    @United – since hes been here the thing hes done best is the defensive side of things. Who are we to say Fergie plays him out of position?

  80. sprite says:

    he is about to enter his 4th season here and he has almost nothing to show for.. And it doesnt seem like he could care less.. Some ppl here should get real.. He has no rights to do stupid immature things like this just before the season starts

  81. YorYor says:

    When one gets intoxicated until he lay “lifeless” in the car, it’s his own fault. Kidnapped, robbed, raped, or even murdered, who’s to blame for getting into that situation in the first place? If he’s with sensible company, where someone’s “on duty” as the driver and doesn’t touch more than half a pint, all’s good. Not so good if the whole lot decides to replace their blood content with alcohol.
    Sure, as a human being, he’s extremely lucky, but he has done nothing (yet) to justify getting off the hook in his capacity as an employee of the club. Did he inspire the team to win titles like what Cantona did before he let the sardines get to his head? Even Hargreaves did more to contribute to our Treble campaign before he decided to tweak his knees.
    Who was our last player to be in the news for such a reason? Not very sensible. If he was 18, maybe just maybe I could understand. He’s 22 this year. And considering most midfielders peak at 27-28, how much more time does he have to grow up, both technically and mentally?
    It’s not like he’s doing charity playing for a non-league club. It’s United. You don’t don the jersey without respecting everything associated with the club. While the others are running their socks off trying to regain fitness in prep for the new season…
    I’d really have liked for him to make a serious challenge for one of the midfield positions, but this really puts me off.

    Ando from what I hear wasnt driving- my source for this is a guy who works for MUTV that i texted last night and he said the brazillian paper that broke the news said himself and a lady were in the car and ando was driving but the story is he was a passenger and a male mate was driving- its not known if the driver had beer on him but anderson did- it could of been drink driving or it could be ando getting a lift but for those saying CROoney says:
    anderson is a retarded fuckin idiot….. end of….send him the fuck home – fuckin stagnated AMF who can’t score…it’s a disgrace his behaviour

    Get the fuckin boat- there are one or 2 people on here whos opinion i take with a pinch of salt but then there are 2 Idiots on here that I truely believe are bitters dippers or rent boys pretending to be United fans because they talk so much pure shit that they can not SUPPORT Manchester United .

    Get Well Soon Anderson

  83. portugueseprincess says:

    The locals who took him out of the car say that Anderson was the driver. They were also the ones who put up the flames in the car otherwise it would have burned out. People who saw him at the club before the accident are saying that he was drinking. Police did a test on him but the results are not known yet.
    You know that speculation about what happen is massive. Everyone will have something to say.
    The only real facts are that: he had been in a nightclub ( nothing wrong with that), there were 3 people in a 2 seater car ( stupidity) and he was lucky that locals managed to take him out of the car before the worst happened.
    The road where he had the accident is a known accident spot and drivers are made aware of the fact and are told to reduce speed.

    This is what happened to the car:
    After climbing up a tab for access to a municipal road, the car crashed into a wall of a farm and flew into a field.

    This is what the person who took him out of the car said:
    “I saw a cloud of smoke ahead of me. The car was unable to straighten up, after a slight bow, went to the field and caught fire,”

    As I said before, I am hugely glad that he is Ok and i hope he comes back to Manchester, gets the hairdryer treatment from Sir Alex and cleans up his act. Anderson is a great player. I say that not because of his first season at United but because I have been an huge admire of him since his Porto playing days. I was overthe moon when it was announced that he would sign for Manchester.
    I hope that he puts this behind him and comes back stronger.

    We all make mistakes in life. I hope he has learned the lesson.

  84. Paul H says:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/aug/01/manchester-united-anderson-car-crash

    One can’t help but feel he’ll be wearing a similar expression to the one in the photo once SAF has finished with him.

    Unfortunately the legendary Maurice Watkins’ powers only work in the UK, so he could get the book thrown at him in Portugal.

    Just had another look at my neighbour’s R8. 3 people? You’re having a f******g laugh. Anybody with half a brain could see that the driver would be massively impaired (even if one passenger was kneeling in the footwell keeping ahem, their head down)

    And yet people are on here trying to defend him and others even suggesting that they would do the same, if they had his wealth. Well you might see things differently if some “playboy” footballer killed or injured one of your friends or family whilst driving illegally. Or would you?

    He’s 22 years old. At one point do you ‘think’ someone becomes a responsible adult? What kind of a role model is he?

    Unless some seriously mitigating circumstances arise, then I don’t want to see this sorry example anywhere near a United shirt again.

  85. Hugo says:

    He is lucky to be alive, and Im truelly thankful for that

    Saying that – he has played his last match for Utd, and I cant see the club getting that much money for him (he hadnt played consistantly well for a while, and he is injured – without considering the reasons for the crash or what else he was upto over the summer while in rehab)

    I really hope Utd go for Ozil – Im just not sure we will. Desperately need a defensive midfielder also imo, I just hope we dont pay £20m (rumoured) to Real for the ex Arsenal and Pompey Diarra – there is a reason why he is ex, he wasnt actually that good. Mohammed Diarra I would bite RM’s hand off but not the other one.

    Would love to see Cleverly given a chance – but I think he is being loaned out , and Im yet to be convinced by Gibson, if he doesnt have a consistant season this year I just cant see him being a major force in Utd’s midfield

    Good morning guys,

    Off-topic, however relevant.

    http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/147161/Man-United-could-buy-back-Giuseppe-Rossi/

    What would you guys think of this, I mean £6.8m is peanuts these days for football clubs.
    Though we do have 7 strikers, maybe we could have him behind Rooney – Hernandez or Rooney/Hernandez/Bertbatov

  88. cantona7 says:

    Yup scott i couldnt agree with you more on this. We are behind the gaffer on this. What ever he decides, we will support.

    Feel sorry for Ando though. Glad he escaped it alive. Hope this will make him into a man, whatever his own decision is.

  89. CROoney says:

    GHTT – are you retarded ? so if i support man united then i must condione everything that every united player does ?! well done ! thankfully i have my own head with my own brain to think

    he was drinking, partying and driving – i highly doubt he didn’t

    take into account his flight to brazil this winter where he “took some time off” without the agreement of SAF and you see why i call him retarded – the boy will never learn and not everyone playing for man utd should be given the benefit of the doubt just because they wear the shirt

    if you think that they should then you’re retarded too..btw – did it accoure to you that at this time of the season he should be preparing for training instead of partying all night

  90. CROoney says:

    *occure

  91. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    CROoney here ya go this should save you some money http://www.ocsmedia.net/subscribe.aspx?title_code=DM and if you read what i wrote youd know i was looking for more info so i contacted people who would be more in the know than your sorry ass opinion

    cantona7 : i think thats the right way of thinking

  92. bigphil2003 says:

    @DKB07 – “But Fergie was a reluctant seller of Rossi in the first place, only allowing him to leave because he couldn’t guarantee first-team action.”

    Could he really guarantee him first team action now? Not in my book.

  93. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    Firstly is there any proof that he was actually under the influence. If he was then everyone on here is right to judge him until that is proved everyone needs to take a step back and relax. Why he had 3 people in a 2 seater car was pretty stupid but I’m willing to put money on the fact that a lot of the people condemning him on here have

    A) Been under the influence when driving

    AND/OR

    B) Had more people in a car than they should have had.

    To the idiots who have been hyping him up to come good this season and now stating they don’t want him anywhere near the club and to never put the United shirt on again. To you I say, Praise the heavens you have no say in how the club is run.

    Innocent till Proven Guilty.

  94. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    get rossi back- – - – - – - – if he can play Defencive CM

  95. CROoney says:

    of course i’m glad that everyone managed to escape without any serious injuries but his behaviour in the last year or so is what i call retarded (moaning, escaping and drunk-driving)

  96. CROoney says:

    oh it’s daily mirror – it can’t be true then —jesus, what an idiot

    the daily morror also said that ronaldo would join madrid and look how that turned out

  97. Damu says:

    get off his back you mautd fans sometimes, u always talk shit about Rio and Ando, have u seen Rooney’s pictures in the Sun newspaper today smoking, drinking, making noise in streets, say something about u loyal fans.

  98. willierednut says:

    In my opinion, if he’s been drinking and driving, then he’s finished. Have to say, i’m staggered some are trying to down play this, amazing really. We’re really lucky we don’t have another Lee Hughes situation on our hands, but as ever, i’ll be guided by SAF, whatever he decides, i’ll accept.

  99. Triggs says:

    I feel like Ando was on his last chance at United already. I thought that the injury may have been an opportunity for him to re-focus, lose some weight and come back fitter, stronger and more committed than before. Both Nani (with his performances) and Rafael (with his Brazil call up) show what hard work and dedication can do and how it is rewarded by Fergie.

    He’s really got to show something before January, otherwise I think he’ll be out on loan and then maybe transferred in the summer. Hopefully this will be a turning point for him.

  100. giggs11gerrard0 says:

    Ando needs to look at Nani and follow suit, all the potential in the world but needs to to turn potential into form and consistency.

  101. willierednut says:

    Yeah, smoking and drinking in the street, is the same as nearly getting killed in a car crash.

  102. smokebreaksteve says:

    Hope Anderson is ok.Appreciate he is only young and rich to go with it but really hope that Ferguson looks to offload him in the next 12 months if his career at UTD continues to stagnate. Rumours of fighting with a team mate, going AWOL,whinging to the press about lack of opportunities are not to mention the puppy fat that he never been able to lose. Contrast Keane’s rehabillitation following his knee injury when he came back lean and mean I can see Ando fighting a battle with his weight if his lifestyle continues.Massive potential but can’t see his attitude ever being proffesional enough to realise that potential. Sir Alex may have one last stab at giving him an attitude adjustment but in the long term I think his future lies elsewhere. Glad the outcome wasn’t worse but I’ve got no time for this guy.

  103. Always Be Closing says:

    @CROoney – GHTT made a simple point – don’t believe everything you read, or become stupid and no better than the hacks that write those rags. There’s no confirmation here of what went on so trusting the Daily Mail of all publications for accurate information on our players is silly.

  104. spacemanspiff says:

    offtopic – the beeb is reporting that Liverpool could be bought by a chinese guy

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/8876510.stm

  105. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    Fuck me. The response on here is ridiculous. No hard facts as of yet. I heard this first through portugueseprincess and everyone reads a few red tops and is instantly jumping to holier than thou conclusions. The guy had a car crashm if he’s under the influence then come out with your pitchforks but thats an IF. At the moment we don’t even know if he was driving? Conflicted reports there. Anybody could have a car crash whether they were drinking or not. How can you condemn someone for having a crash. Having said that, thats probably why Fergie sold Ronaldo. He wasn’t going to sell that mob a virus and then he soon did after the crash. On a side note, have unfortunately seen the Rooney pictures and the guy is a dick for smoking. Athletes shouldn’t smoke, end of story. Having a few beers is cool but should NEVER smoke.

  106. Always Be Closing says:

    SAF said he wouldn’t sell them to the virus, but then the whole management changed and were no longer the same mob so there was no conflict of what he said to what he did.

  107. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    @ Always Be Closing I was being sarcastic.

  108. portugueseprincess says:

    Guys, Just to keep you updated: there is a news report now, citing a source in the police, saying that Anderson was NOT the driver, his friend was and that he was a little over the drink driving limit. The driver though asked for a new test to be done at the hospital and also said that the accident happened because he was blinded by the sun.
    Has I said before, the rumor mill on this story is huge and until there is oficial police confirmation we don’t actually know what really happened besides the fact that he had been partying and that there were 3 people on a 2 seater car.

    I will post more info if there are new updates.

  109. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    The car crash seems to blown out of proportion. Firstly it wasn’t a crash as such, by the look of the car its come of road and travelled at a decent speed in the rough. Ripping off the “loose bits” as it were. If you look at the radiator thats visible there isnt the slightest bit of damage. I say he came off the road at about 60-70 rapidly decelerating and came to a noisey stop. Sure thats not funny but its not a car crash. I am concerned three people were in the car as it isnt big enough for all. Everyone also has to take into account that the southern europeans do not party “nightclub” quite like us brits do. At home we get hammered, piss in the street, act like complete cunts, vomit and start some sor of trouble. In Portugal your more inclined to drink “sensibly” and move the party on to your home. I cant comment on the drink driving because its not confirmed. I cant comment about him driving because its not confirmed. He was pulled allegedly out of the car lifeless, there is a possibility that his mate drove him home and he was asleep due to alcohol and didn’t wake up during the noisy off roading.
    Its stupid to be involved with these things but thats what can be expected with large player wages and a feeling of belonging back at home (amongst friend in portugal) where the ever watchful eye of Sir Alex doesn’t roam. You sign forreign players then you have to expect the forreign baggage follows. It doesn’t mean you accept all shite that comes your way though.
    Some have mentioned he should be in the gym, I agree and no doubt he is, during the day for a well planned workout. He could hardly expect to be in the gym at 7am in the morning, especially if his rehab isn’t planned for that time. We dont know Andos rehab “schedule” so we shouldnt comment on it.
    I say we weather this storm, its not too big a deal even though if the road was lined with big trees or a cliff face then things could have been more serious. I say Sir Alex puts his foot down, tells him to get back to Manchester and continues his rehab at home under stricter conditions. Ando agrees in order to save what he has of an OT career and make the best of a bad situation. This little scrape could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

  110. Corea says:

    Lucky Ando. Hope it will help him grow up a bit. We need him for the next season if we aren’t going to buy a midfielder. We are already without Hargo.
    I think the reason for all those rumours back in january was his attitude and this kind of behaviour.
    Get well soon.

  111. joe_ro says:

    Firstly, glad he is alive. Secondly, IF it does turn out he was drinking and driving then he has got to go in my opininon. If the same happened to many of us then i’m sure our jobs would also be on the line. If he’s at fault and gets away with it, then it just alienates the fans and increases the social gap between us and them.

    He may have done nothing wrong, and I hope this is the case. I still think he can become an important player for us. Fingers crossed.

  112. Corea says:

    GoatinaUnitedShirt – agreed. top post. the worst thing these days is that people jump to conclusions and judge people relying on rumours.

  113. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    @ Goatinaunitedshirt 11:16 Top Post and Bang on the money.

  114. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    I was wondering if someone can help me in regards to the 25 man squad rule. Im under the impression that its not a solid 25 man squad but rather 25 man squad, 8 off which have to be home grown. It also states under 21′s don’t count. Count as what? part of the 25 man squad or part of the 8 home grown players. Does this mean you can have 25 senior players of which 8 must be homegrown and as many under 21s making up as many squad members as you want (greater than 25) OR your only alowed 25 players, 8 must be homegrown and that the under 21′s cant count towards the home grown figures as they are not senior players with whom the rule applies.
    Thanks for the help, as you see it makes a huge bloody difference.

  115. Fze123 says:

    He is an idiot for partying until 7am and getting his car crashed when he was supposed to be looking after himself and recovering from his injury. He is fucking lucky, and stupid, indeed, but those who are saying he has disgraced our club, dragged it through the mud, etc etc need to stop. He’s not a Giggs or Scholes or Neville, perfect players on and off the pitch. He’s a young boy who has acted very unprofessional during his holidays, and I am sure Fergie will give him a right bollocking when he comes back, or give him a deserved hefty fine even. I am chuffed he did not get hurt but next season will be make or break for him. I am sure he now realises just how lucky he is, this accident could be a turning point in his life (I hope) and if he hits the ground running next season then I will forgive him.

    And by the way, do we really know that he went to Brazil after the Hull game last season without Fergie’s permission? Would Fergie really have kept quite about that? I don’t think so, I assume this was made up by the press to spark controversy, there weren’t any reliable sources to confirm that, was there.

  116. Paul H says:

    NotoriousRedDevil, I find your notion that “most” of us have at some point been driving whilst pissed with an excessive/illegal number of passengers on board quite insulting. Don’t judge others by your own irresponsibly low standards. Anything else you want to share with us?

    Any who was the clown trying to draw parallels between reckless, illegal, life threatening actions and Wazza having an ale and a smoke whilst getting a bit lairy?

    Someone correctly mentioned Lee Hughes – where is he now? Justice should always be served. History shows a good deal of other footballers who have wrapped their motors whilst drunk, those whose speed has killed others and even themselves. It’s indefensible folks. You drive any car, let alone a supercar, you need concentration and sobriety. Here’s quick list of just some of those involved in serious, often fatal accidents, and/or serious DUI offences, some of whom rightly ending up in the slammer. How many “near misses” in between the real tragedies?

    Lee Hughes – arguably the worst in this list, killed a bloke and crippled another whilst driving pissed on the wrong side of the road
    Jermaine Pennant – tagged for driving pissed
    David James – involved in a fatal road crash whilst playing for Liverpool, think he escaped charges….
    Edmundo – killed 3 people, sent down
    Karim Benzema (wish we’d signed him) should hire a chauffer as he has repeatedly shown he cannot drive high powered cars
    Michael Essien – pending trial for drink driving (wish we’d signed him too) earlier in the year
    Tony Adams – jailed for parking in someone’s wall whilst 4x the limit
    Jimmy Davis – killed himself on the M40 – twice the legal limit
    Peter Shilton – banned after parking his car around a lampost whilst pissed
    Jan Molby – jailed for 3 months, for parking upside down outside a nightclub whilst pissed
    Peter Beagrie – drove a motorbike through a plate glass window whilst pissed
    James Beattie – 100 hours community service for being slightly pissed
    Rio Ferdinand – aged 18, pissed and banished from Hoddles England team

    And let’s not forget another of our own Georgie Best (RIP) who spent three months in the slammer for driving pissed and assaulting a copper. At least he waited until after his United career was long over beforehand!!!

    On a related note, I remember the outrage on this forum when Stevie Me walked free for what was a stonewall GBH conviction. We have to apply the same morality to our own.

    Don’t defend the indefensible folks.

  117. mikekelly12 says:

    We all know that City are being funded by Oil billions, however, I have a sneaky suspision that they are probably swelling the coffers of Premier League big wigs also. Once again the double standards handed out by these goons has reared it’s head with an announcement that Patrick Vierra is unlikely to recieve a ban at the start of the season after his sending off against Inter Milan! Paul Scholes would probably appreciate an explanation behind this decision! Now I couldn’t give a donkies bollock whether Vierra plays for City or not, however, it once again highlights the inconsistencies between decisions the Premier League make, particularly when United are involved.

  118. Wakey says:

    The reporting of this is hilarious, talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill.

    - The car can do 190mph so the papers are reporting it as a 190mph crash
    - “Lifeless body dragged from the car” yet he was released from hospital without being kept for observation. Does that sound right
    - The reports from portugal are reporting he was a passenger (He isn’t allowed to drive yet apparently due to his injury)
    - Its being reported in portugal as a minor acceident. Where as here its 190mph, flying 100ft in the air and bursting into flames
    - The pictures look pretty bad but sports cars even in really minor bumps always look worse. Its clearly not a small bump but it also to me doesn’t look like a massive crash and then the car exploding like is being reported in the british media

    Anderson clearly had a couple of small lapses in jujudgment, these being getting into the car with someone who had consumed any alcohol even if they believed it was below the limit and getting into a 2 seater car when there were 3 people.

    He is injured and its been between seasons so I have no problem with him having been at a nighclub or partying a fair bit over the summer. Sportsmen when injured are prone to getting depressed and bored so as long as its not been “English on Holiday in Ibiza” level of partying and drinking I’m not too concerned. I was rather he was keeping his spirits up so he was in the right frame of mind when he can start training again

  119. Rooney22United says:

    yeah..Wakey.. it was probably bollocks from the English Press. A ‘slight’ exaggeration of the accident perhaps?

  120. Costas says:

    One thing is for sure. Fergie has a tough judgment call to make right now.

    @Goat

    You can name as many under 21s(meaning those that were born after 1/1/89) as you want. They are not part of the 25 man squad. The 25 players from that squad have to be over 21s and 8 of them have to be homegrown. Meaning that they must have been at an English club between 18 and 21. So, someone like Rafa Da Silva will be considered homegrown next year(this year he is under 21), but Hargreaves is not considered homegrown.

  121. Costas says:

    @Rooney22United

    It was reported in Portugal at first. Look at portugueseprincess’ posts. The only certain things right now is that he was partying until late(not for the first time) and that he and 2 others were in a 2 seat car. No word on who the driver is.

  122. GTull says:

    Firstly, before getting too critical, let’s all hope he’s ok. Regardless of football.

    But…

    The boy is in danger of becoming a huge waste of potential. There have been games where he’s looked absolutely fantastic for United, where he’s looked every bit of the transfer fee we shelled out for him. We’ve watched him dominate Gerrard and Fabregas and perhaps if he’d shown some consistancy, we wouldn’t find ourselves on here every day wondering when/if Ozil is going to sign for us?

    Reading some of the comments on here, there are some that are disgusted that any of us United fans would dare criticise Ando in the wake of his accident but I disagree.

    As United fans, we’ve all adapted to that Fergie mould where we expect 110% commitment and professionalism from our players. None of us, not least Fergie himself want to hear stories of our players going out until 7am, getting pissed up and crashing the kind of cars most of us can only dream of. It’s just not the United way…

    When you look back over the last two decades and the success we’ve had, how many trouble-makers have we had? Or if we’ve had them, how long have they lasted? And on top of that, how many times have any of you ever disagreed with Fergie when he’s made the decision to get rid?

    I for one believe that Anderson has the potential to be a fantasic player for United but where as Nani has seemingly learned from some earlier indescretions, it appears Anderson hasn’t, if Fergie decided to get rid, it’d be a shame, but a totally justified decision…

  123. willierednut says:

    He’s a fucking idiot, i’ve no problem with him having a drink, or having a good time, but to then get in a car, knowing the driver has had a drink. No taxis in Portugal?

  124. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Does anyone know the answer to my question – post 11.25

    If its a flat 25 man squad thats it then we have.
    VDS, Kuzchak, “Amos”, “G.Neville”, “Ferdinand”, Vidic, “Evans”, Evra, “Brown”, Rafael, “O’Shea”, “Fletcher”, “Carrick”, Nani, “Scholes”, Valencia, “Gibson”, “Giggs”, Anderson, Park, “Rooney”, Berbatov, “Owen”, Hernandez, Obertan.
    player in ” ” have played or developed at an English or Welsh club for three years prior to turning 21.
    As you see we are well covered. The only prob is with just 25 names where does that leave DeLaet, Fabio, Wellbeck, Cleverley, Diouf, Macheda, Smalling, Stewart, Gill …………… (the list is endlass. Is this what the premier league have in mind with the development of youngsters.
    OR like I said do players who are currently under 21 not count in this rule and can expand the squad numbers past 25. In which case you can replace Rafael in that list with delaet and include Fabio, Smalling, Cleverley, Macheda, Wellbeck ………….
    As I said a huge difference. Someone in the know please tell me.

  125. Heywood is Red says:

    Goat- it’s a 25 man squad, where 8 players have to be ‘homegrown’. Not necessarily english, but spent 3yrs in the academy before a certain age i think. Then you can have as many under 21′s as you like, so in effect the 25 man squad can b larger. Thats my understanding of it anyhow. Hope it’s right lol

  126. willierednut says:

    NRD – To answer your question mate, no i’ve never been in the same situation as Anderson. I’m i an alter boy, no to that as well. I’ve done some shit down the years i’m not proud of, but then again, i don’t play for Manchester United and i’m not in the media spotlight.

  127. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    @Costas
    Thanks mate that cleared that up, I hadnt had time to read your post before i sent mine.
    Im mightely relieved because de laet, macheda and company need time at the top. It looks like United are very comfortable within the new system and when Rafael and Fabio step up then they can take over the home grown status of Gary Neville when he hangs up his boots. Cant say it looks as good for Liverpool. What will happen to them do they get banned. Fining a club cant be the answer because then its no deterant for City and Chelsea.

  128. aig alex is god says:

    Well going AWOL when you arent having the best of times and criticizing the boss when you are playing shite yourself rather than fighting for a place are not the characteristics of a United player.

  129. willierednut says:

    Other news, looks like the dippers are close to be taken over by a Chinese businessman, but for less than the American cowboys want.

  130. bchilds says:

    I can only hope that this frightening experience makes Ando realise how lucky he is to still be alive & decides to not let his talent be wasted & he keeps his head down & works hard for United with a correct attitude & lives up to the promise he showed during his debut season.

  131. Toby says:

    @bchilds was gonna say the same thing

  132. Costas says:

    @Goat

    You are welcome mate. Ritchie does take up one of the spots of the 25 man squad unfortunately. But the Da Silvas, Amos, Kiko, Smalling, Cleverley and Obertan aren’t. If the squad limit is in effect next summer, then the twins, Smalling, Cleverley and Obertan will be considered over 21s. So we might have to make some hard decisions then.

    Haven’t checked out LIverpool’s squad yet. I did check out City’s though and I realised that their current senior squad consists of 32 players! And that’s providing they stop spending which they probably won’t. So they have to get rid off at least 7 of them.

  133. vidic will get ya15 says:

    Annndd-eerrr-soon son son. He thinks hes hamleton. Anderson son son, drives more like my mum, he swerves left he swerves right, he smashes into to a tree in the night, he was smashed then he crashed now fergies gonna kick his asssss

    In all seriousness though, get well soon, hope he stays, can be a great player for us still

  134. theboogeyman says:

    For everyone looking at the fact that the car has no front or back left, it’s because the car is built like that for safety. Look at the cockpit. Absolutely no damage. He would’ve been perfectly fine physically.

  135. willierednut says:

    theboogeyman – Through sheer luck, he escaped serious injury.

  136. King Eric says:

    Alright lads.

    Probably get slated but fuck it. Its time this bloated fat chancer knuckled the fuck down. The last two seasons he has been woeful but because he is Brazilian some fans love him and slate Gibson to fuck. Know who I would rather have.

    Glad he is ok like.

    that picture of the car does not look too bad, considering to some reports, mostly the English press (daily mail) state that he was dragged from the car moments before it exploded. I think it has slightly been ‘blown’ out of context by the English press (apologies for the pun :-) I wish Anderson a speedy recovery and I think this is last chance saloon for him.

    Apparently it was Alex Curran in the front seat with Anderson. Fortunately she was able to give him mouth to knob resussatation.

    The papers are only reporting what the eye witness’s have said, let not blame the red tops for everything.

  140. super John O Shea says:

    Yeah true those red tops are high quality newspapers who always report the truth, never twist anyone’s words or entrap an unsuspecting celeb or sports man.

    Perhaps it all got lost in translation :-)

  141. willierednut says:

    Did they make Anderson go out clubbing, he’s responsible for himself.

  142. FletchTHEMAN says:

    DEEP Breath lads! Anderson is alive, and we can all thank our stars about that. Besides that, we don’t know much. Sheesh…. the crap that has been said based on some complete crap reporting. I tell you what, that car (see the pictures) did not fly 100 yards through the air and burst into flames. So let’s just say we don’t know much.
    As to Anderson, his is alive and hopefully had the riot act read to him by those he loves. He will be home to face the music if there is any. I say we take a deep breath and let SAF sort it out.

    @Paul H, IF it he was not driving drunk, don’t think anyone is saying it should be brushed under the rug. The boss will know what to do, and with all the correct info in his hands. Don’t think we have that right now.

  143. debaser says:

    Think it’s time to cut our losses with Anderson

    I’d rather keep Cleverely in the 1st team
    and send Anderson out on loan

    some needs to re-write that line better than kleberson
    i have my doubts!

  144. FletchTHEMAN says:

    @debaser
    Sending Anderson out on loan is an idea that has been popping up in these pages
    and it might be an interesting option. ‘Tis true that the boy needs to build some mental
    strength and maturity. It takes skill, a rugged body, and a mature brain, to play United
    football. A couple of days back on another thread we were discussing the crash in the first hours that the news broke. Someone suggested we send him on loan to Ipswich! To let Dr. Keano work
    on his mind, to toughen him up!….. Had to laugh…

    Give him an one way ticket back to Brazil.

    Maybe i was a bit harsh with my last comment, anyway the lad is due back in Manchester.

  147. willierednut says:

    dubzy – lol.

  148. FletchTHEMAN says:

    @willierednut,
    Good man! If there are any oneway tickets to hand out, then SAF will be the one handing them out.
    And, if so, we might guess that Anderson will play one game to prove his fitness before he is shown the door. Maybe with the reserves, but still. If Anderson has played his last game, he should still be considered a value and we should defo trade up! However, if he stays, it is because SAF has a plan. I can still back the boy if SAF does. Ofcourse, my opinion will slide considerably if he was behind the wheel and more so if he was DUI. Facts just not in IMO.

  149. kel says:

    I like him to prove this season. But i will back the manager on whatever he decide.

  150. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    @ Paul H – You despicable toffee nosed cunt labelling me.I’m beginning to dislike more you everytime you post. Firstly I just merely pointed out a fact that blatantly happens but you have to come on here your high horse. Why have YOU of all people on here taken it personally. Hit a soft spot with you have I? I shouldn’t get worked up with you, doesn’t surprise me I read your post on boycotting shirts where Scott tore you a new one about your poofy pal not renewing because the protests get on his nerves. I can almost guarantee that YOU have got behind the wheel after having a pint and before you label me again moron, I’ve passed my test but havent got behind the wheel of a car for 5 years now. Low standards. No. Just a case of reality but you wouldn’t know that in the bubble you live in. Just go out on a proper night out into town ANY town, its clear as day to see who does what at the end of the night. I used to work in a pub and seen countless amount of people from taxi drivers to coppers have a couple and then drive it happens. Not everyone is a law abiding goody two shoes like you claim to be and I doubt everyone on here having a pop at him is either.

    PS. Since you were labelling footballers you missed out Luke McCormick who was blatantly the worst.

    Also I usually label you and Wakey as the annoying pair but his last post makes a load of sense compared to your pastoral standpoint.

  151. Fze123 says:

    ^^ Spot on.

  152. RedScot says:

    Lmao at the comments just totally Reds.
    @NRD everything all right otherwise? lol

  153. willierednut says:

    There’s only one Kenny Huang.

  154. Paul H says:

    It’s just as well you don’t drive, NeRD, given your unapologetic stance on the matter. Please keep it that way young man, and god forbid you should ever lose anyone to a pisshead behind the wheel.

    Oh and thanks for adding to the hall of shame – I knew there was somene I forgot.

    And just before hitting submit, I just remembered another loser, who lives nearby – too bloody close in fact. Herr Dietmarr Hamman, former midfield general of two of my favourite NW teams. Again, he waited until his career was over until he got caught, but remains a selfish and reckless fool all the same.

    Totally undeserving of my sympathy.

  155. RedScot says:

    @ Paul H two of your favourite NW Teams, you mean Liverpool and Citeh?

  156. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    NeRD Who the fuck on here called nerd. Maybe you Paul H are with some of your comments. The only thing people deserve from you is to get your head out of your posh arse and realise the world isn’t just, horse riding and elocution lessons like the world you live in. You automatically assume that once I get a motor I’m going to be drink driving? You really aren’t as clever as you make out. I don’t drive because I don’t need to at the moment, I’m not a mug like some of you on here forking out thousands of pounds on petrol and insurance every year. I’ve saved that money ;-) Its got nothing to do with being reckless you arsehole. Nobody died in Andersons case and we don’t even know if he was drinking yet? Here you are like the leader of the some sick cult trying to start a crusade on what “Could’ve” happened. It didn’t so its totally fucking irrelevant linking him to guys like Lee Hughes. Especially as you’re not even sure he was driving?

    LMAO @ RedScot. Everythings fine my end of the world, just can’t stand hypercritical self righteous cunts like Paul H. Lets go and condemn everyone, everyone is so law abiding in Britain today. It isn’t like that, far from it. He’s probably the kind of guy who talks the talk and doesn’t walk the walk. I’m still chuckling over his comments on the Don’t Buy A Shirt, A Pie Or A Pint… post. It wasn’t his mate he was referring to it was himself. He missed the point on that post as well.

  157. rooney the new king says:

    King Eric – its guys like anderson who are in the way from talents like cleverly thriving in a united shirt. We see cleverly get forward time and time again paul scholes style at 23, anderson is so woeful that he has not got the indurence to go box too box which cleverly does and cleverly has the individual brilliance too score classy goals and he is english which is a help.

  158. willierednut says:

    RTNK – It’s hard to say at this point, if Cleverley will be a better player than Anderson, but i do agree the latters been hyped up because of performances in his first season.The disappointing thing about Anderson is he has the potential to be a top midfielder, but i don’t think he has the right temperament to succeed at the top level, hope i’m wrong.

  159. Paul H says:

    NeRD, I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one. I respect the law and think it’s poor form for people to drive recklessly, or whilst pissed, stoned or carrying too many passengers. Whereas you clearly and quite remorselessly don’t have much of a problem with it. Or maybe I’m wrong and clearly haven’t lived until I’ve bombed down the A34 completely trousered, straddled by an attractive young lady passenger that I’ve just met in Panacea?

    Not really much else to say really except thank God you have wisely chosen the public transport option. And I genuinely mean that.

    Now let’s draw a line under it now shall we. At least until the Portuguese authorities file their reports and decide whether there’s a case to answer for silly young Oliveira, for whom I hope the club employs the services of a chauffeur for the remainder of his stay in Manchester.

    Cheers.

  160. Costas says:

    Thanks willie. So Ando was driving after all.

  161. FletchTHEMAN says:

    @Willierednut
    You media dog you! Excellent catch. Looks that Ando is a dog too, just of
    a different stripe. Boy needs to get his priorities in order. Hope he wasn’t DUI, but even so, he is
    lucky as Fxxk.
    Ofcourse, Wayne isn’t exactly being the ideal roll model, as expressed in the same piece. Obviously, the summer needs end so that these boys can focus on more appropriate pursuits!

  162. MU lovers says:

    iam mancunia, i love anderson, he be lucky boy when againt norwich……
