David Beckham will be playing in Gary Neville’s testimonial at Old Trafford tomorrow after his club LA Galaxy have allowed him to miss a game for them to attend.
Beckham, who left the club for Real Madrid in 2003, can’t wait to wear our shirt again.
“Putting a United shirt on again never gets old,” said Beckham. “I get goose bumps every time I think about stepping out at Old Trafford again, as does walking out on the pitch. To be able to do that for Gary and his family means it is going to be an emotional night. I played with him for so many years. We were room-mates, he was best man at my wedding and he is one of my best friends. I am looking forward to seeing him play. After a few months of not playing and training, that will be interesting!”
Beckham believes after Neville’s commitment and hard work, he is deserving of a night dedicated to him.
“Gary is still so dedicated,” said Beckham. “It is the reason why he has achieved so much in his career and why United fans love him. He is such a talent and hard worker. He really deserves this night.”

There are still a few tickets available. Buy them from the official site for £25.

Scholes is not the only one to taste the insides of Mr. Neville’s mouth. David was there too
Dude.
Saw the interview. Really funny stuff. Took the micky bigtime.
BTW, How are all you Irish reds? Had to laugh when I head US president Obama was visiting his old family home. Great great great grandda on his moms side. Brilliant. Blood runs green on St Patties to be sure!
Keep it red lads, or else Green and Gold will do in a pinch! Brilliant. Love this…… ha ha ha
Would be nice to see Hargo, Brown, Owen also play for perhaps the last time
@ FletchTHEMAN:
Yeah its hilarious. He’s even planting trees here now.
Loving the Tshirts with “Whats the craic Barack?” Haha!
it would be for beckham to score one of his trade mark free kicks at old trafford for d last time…
does anyone know if there will be a big screen showing the game near wembly on sat?
Ryan Giggs named in parliament as the footballer involved in the injunction row.
Ryan Giggs was the footballer named by John Hemming, the Lib Dem MP. Hemming said that 75,000 Twitter users had already discovered his name. He said he was the footballer involved in the injunction row.
http://www.mediabistro.com/sportsnewser/spanish-press-out-ryan-giggs-as-player-who-had-affair-with-imogen-thomas_b8836
…
Fuck them MPs. The cunts fiddled their expenses. That’s for Giggs and his family to sort out, privately. On topic, nice to see Becks turn up for RedNev’s testimonial. Good luck to the young lads tonight. I hope they get a decent crowd at OT.
Is Giles Coren dead man walking?
After all now we know it was him that started all the Twitter hating
on Sir Ryan..
Would Giggs be able to perform on Saturday night, knowing what will be in the papers on Sunday?
Same thing happened to Rooney who lost form and was dropped vs Everton and Fulham
Maybe Fletch will play after all!!
Brilliant! Just hope the first team players who are playing tomorrow will be fine for saturday..
Off topic: This is how it feels to be city!! Captain Tevez opts to fly home instead of taking part in their FA cup parade … And to think winning a trophy after 36 years meant anything to him…
@Fletch the Man
Ye i think he is eligible to play for the Republic. Just in time for the carling nations cup tie with northern ireland tomorrow night.
Did you get goose bumps when you found out how much you were gonna get paid in your contract when you fcuked off to The Fascists and LA Galaxy? This guys PR is amazing.
Neuer receives a well deserved present from Schalke fan prior to Bayern…

well said alpha.
Maybe I missed it in a previous thread, but who ends up with the golden boot in case of a tie?
Did Berba and TevRUNT split it or is their some tie break formula? Just curious and a bit furious that Berbatov couldn’t put one of his 12 chances in yesterday. Poor lad, should have scored!
Another whore in football, actually thought Ryan Giggs was one of the decent ones. When you get married stay faithful.
Gareth Barry is another one trying to get Giles Coren sent to jail.
BBC football cant wait to give utd some coverage…on a negative note! Where were the pics of utds historic win yesterday? all the focus was on the relegation issues.. no wonder SAF has nothing but contempt fo them.
Im just interested in what giggs does on the footy field tbh, his private life is just that. I dont know him and doubt i ever will, its his football ability i admire not his bedpost antics! Fact is he hasnt broken the law.end of.
Im also stunned that weve gotta wear our away kit on saturday. Surely it should alternate on the basis of our last meeting we had to change strip. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Sorry to say it Giggsy …you have been a bit of a tool for putting up the injunction….. you should have just come out with ….Yes it was me ….she was a crap shag …… and made it up to your missus……
DONT BLAME YOU MIND ….
Just who the fuck is Giles Coren…..
Although that MP is protected by Parlimentary privilege ….just how long before some UTD fan gives him a fucking right-hander saying hows that for your fucking privilege ….probabbly a scouse or a fucking rentboy follower……
I don’t can’t about the private lives of players, but I have lost respect for Ryan Giggs. Not because he cheated on his wife (which I do not condone), but because he was stupid enough to indulge in all this injunction business. Like TonyBee said he would have been a much bigger man to come out and admit what he did and ask for the privacy to fix things with his wife. This injuction would have contributed nothing to his married life (unless he believed he could hide this from his wife, which makes it even worse), but was an attempt to maintain a deceptive public image. His a public figure, an idol to many, and he has let all of them and himself down with his conduct throughout…Thats just my opinion. Shame really…

Wembley, Camp Nou, Luzhniki stadium…a look back at Man United’s European past, can Fergie’s men burry the ghost of Rome?
Guys here’s an article that looks back at our 3 European triumphs:
http://www.thehardtackle.com/index.php/man-uniteds-corner-spirit-of-united%e2%80%99s-european-past/
jay – Are you the king of restrained? lol.
TonyBee – spot on, on all the comments above.
Giggsy may have been a bloody idiot, but this Imogen Thomas is nothing but a gutter whore looking for the cash. She is in with Max Clifford, and that is all the evidence I need to judge her character.
So am I to assume all giggsy related comments are being moderated and removed as seen appropriate – in which case what are the criteria for commenting on the issue?
now the whole world knows Giggs is no better than Terry!
Defo out of the bag now. Glad we could savor our 19th for about 13 hours. Now back
to you Mr ABU.

The only thing I care about is that on the 28th May:
Giggs tears Barca apart TM
See I respect players who are themselves no bullshit about them what you is what you get types whether it’s bad or good at least you see their true colours. I had so much respect for Giggs not only as a player but a man, he was quiet, you never heard about him being upto bullshit but he is just as bad and then he tried to sue twitter. If he did not want shit to hit the fan he should of kept it in his pants even his agent was astounded. I am still waiting for them to expose Messi he is definitely not the angel everybody makes him out to be he is just good at hiding it.
Hope Giggs takes out his frustrations on Saturday.
Changing topic a bit, anyone knows if there is a live feed somewhere of the game tonight and at what time?
Yeah lets blame the SINGLE woman for getting with the MARRIED man who took the vows and should of known better.
fucking ABU
Breaking News
Arry Redknapp interview
So Harry what do you make of Ryan Giggs having an affair
Well Jeff I mean it’s triffic sure why not – I mean you know would I be interested? Of course I would! I mean me and the chairman are always talking about it.
Dear Lord Harry you mean a threesome with Imogen Thomas?
Are you insane Jeff?
Harry what the fuck are you on about?
There you go again Jeff with that filthy language – I swear it you and that Rooney you both should be locked up! Of course we’d be interested in Ryan Giggs – I mean what a loyal servant he’s been to Alex but we think we can get him here on the cheap.
Oh what about Imogen Thomas?
(TM Arry Redknapp chuckle)
Who’s she Jeff?
bill bob. you must be jokin!
Terry, team captain, shags the mother of teammates kids while she is all busted up about the breakup. Dad sells crack, brother in the nick, mom off for shop lifting. If there is any similarity, it is must be lost in the fine print. Oh right, Terry is doing this while the paint is still drying on his father of the year medal.
Get real mate. Not going to give Ryan any complements though. Jaysus wept. Again!
Messi is banging woman by the dozen. Heard it from someone, who heard it from someone else.
now the whole world knows Giggs is no better than Terry!
Whats the difference between Terry and Giggs ?
Terry accepted the flag he got for his behaviour.
Giggs needed a court to silence the media.
@MG Cheers mate. Too funny that! You do have Awry in yer cross hairs then!
HA AHA HA.
SO WHO IS GOING TO TELL ME ABOUT THE GOLDEN BOOT. FFS
fletchtheman – what do you wanna know about the golden boot?
they have to share it.
Ok, so the Golden boot is shared then. Makes sense but couldn’t find that written anywhere.
Question: was it the premier league or the FA that took away Berbatovs goal vs WB. Should be on 21 goals and the clear winner.
Messi and Giggs have to share that bitch? Let Messi have her Giggsy.
At the end it’s like this If Giggs has done it he only answers to his wife just like Rooney had to answer to his wife
For every one else it’s a fucking story to be manipulated
For John Terry he had to answer to his wife and a team mate – which is worse because there were more people involved
However again Giggs above everyone should have known better – no doubt seems like an affair took place – however under what circumstances one only wonders – only he knows.
It does seem though that he should have owned up and killed the story off – in todays day and age of technology you cannot keep nothing still or closed off
I’m sure he’ll work it out – but for me first thing is first and that is the CL final.
Anyone else writing morbid fucking hallucinating stories can fuck off.
I have lost respect for Giggs – not because he cheated on his wife (I don’t condone it!) but because he had to orcherstrate this whole injunction business. He could have come out, admitted to his mistake, and asked for privacy to deal with his family. This was an exercise not in sorting out his private life, but an effort to maintain an untrue and deceptive public image. For that, I lose all respect for Giggsy as a man/idol – doesn’t take away from him being a football legend. Shame that!
Fletch – I have Arry in the system
Your decision to leave Beckham! Could of worn it for years longer if you wanted to!
Don’t fucking dare compare that bastard Terry with Giggs. Giggsy will have to answer to his wife and his family. I say wait to we all hear the full facts. Still a legend in my eyes.
i think it was the premier league
@FletchTHEMAN
http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~2361167,00.html
i ask you people what is the big dea with ryan giggs having an affair…90% of people will say he is a role model….to kids……etc…well the whole point of the super injunction was to stop children (and adults) finding out…now giggs will be getting stick its got nothing to do with anyone apart from him and his wife…i cant stand the oppostion fans how they will act right now…tbh i dont give a fuck…just hope he doesnt crack before or even on the day of the final….GIGGS…LEGEND and FOR ALWAYS WILL BE!
On a side note, I’ve just had to walk through citiehs mob while walking to the tram and their lot have turned out in numbers in all fairness… Begs me to ask a couple of questions. 1. Where were you at Juventus at home? And 2. 20,000 empty seats, are you fucking sure?! Manchester is red.
What Giggs did is wrong, but i don’t blame him for trying to protect his privacy the man has young children after all. It seems people want to forget that, imagine how they feel at this news? His wife might have forgiven him, that’s her choice, but the kids don’t deserve this.
It’s just typical of this country, it’s full of net curtain nellies wanting to know everyone else business and misery, i’m ashamed to say some take pleasure in it.
You know what it’s none of my business, it doesn’t effect the running of the country or anything that effects my life or anyone elses for that matter other than the slapper who chose to sleep with a married man and the giggs family. Ryan you should be ashamed also.
and as for Imogen Thomas…..you stupid dirty cow. You slept with a married man with kids and then tried to sell your story for money. All that makes you is a PROSTITUE. I bet your parents are really proud….. what this country needs is less women like her.
p.s. The only role model for kids should be their father and mother. Giggs never asked for that role and children shouldn’t idolise someone who boots a bag of wind around. Parents set the example for their children. I don’t need Rooney or Giggs being a guide for my kids. Morals come from family.
It’s not so much the fact that he slept with another woman but the fact that he decided to hide it behind some stupid injunction thinking he was clever when the whole world already knew. What’s so bad if the press knows you slept with another woman. Wayne has been there before. Just one week of slack from the press and it’s gone down the drain. Before you know it another footballer takes your place. Gald it’s out now. Get this over with and move on.
What giggs done wrong? are you fucking kidding? how shaging behind his wife (only 3 yrs married) & kids.
hope your partner does it to you., as you think it fine.
fucking mongs.
bill bob
Fuck off plastic

MG suck my dick, your bird does….
@bill bob
I agree mate, 3 years married and kids and he has to act like a twat and go fucking around! There will always be a little bit of embarrassment now when people talk about Giggs to me.
A United legend in most fan’s opinion says something good, and it’s labelled PR.
A United legend in most fan’s opinion does something bad, and he’s labelled indecent.
Fuck off.
Why consider our heroes and idols actions, only to criticise, both good and bad.
I can only presume that you want to make United fans angry.
You are certainly looking to start a fight. Hoping for an opportunity to flaunt your vengeful barbs, honed in countless arguments on the same topic.
Fortunately, you are United fans too, so this appeal to you to cease slandering and hanging those we love will not fall on deaf ears.
bill bob
Wow Is that all you got?
My bird sucks your dick I hope you get it good cause I heard you had issues with cuming
Wanna play bitch you picked the wrong guy…
GIGGSY LEGEND!!! Georgie best slept with countless women. No one had a problem with him. He’s STILL a legend. Ronaldo de lima slept with a tranny. He’ STILL a legend. Giggsy REMAINS a legend even though what he did was totally wrong and i do not condone that kind of behaviour.
Hmm, don’t want to sound paranoid and I’m certainly not condoning what Sir Ryan has done by a long shot but does this whole parliamentary privilege crap reek of ABU media? Think about it, up until now the press have been desperate to overturn the injunction, even attending court again today to have it lifted. We all know 99% of MPs are crooks, so what’s to say that some bent journo hasn’t contacted this MP and said if u use parliamentary privilege to go around the injunction a nice brown envelope will be coming ur way? Funny how they didn’t go through these lengths to expose Stevie Starfish and his 16-year-old mistress…
MG kis kiss.
I’m sucking a cola lollipop which says 19 city fan
Yummy yummy
PS, let’s not get carried away my fellow Reds; it’s not as if he’s punched somebody in the face repeatedly on CCTV in a cowardly gang attack, stubbed a cigar out on somebody’s face, shot some poor kid with an airgun, thrown darts at youth team players, viciously assaulted a teenager in a takeaway etc
she’s not sucking your dick billy bob. That’s your mother picking her teeth on your pin-prick.
bill bob
Did you get to fuck the bird I heard you were having erectile malfunctions
How are the hormonal injections going remember to keep on aiming them at your ass city fan
Can you find the cunt or is it because you have no erection it makes you a total cunt yourself ?
Hows the ticker going son are you sweating not knowing where to get in?
Poor bastard wants to fuck my bird but has no function and dick power to do it
Here have a giant kiss from me city fan 19
Bill Bob is a midget. He’s never measured up in life, hence, he has to comment on something, that is nowt to do with him. Small fry to the bone.
Thought it was common knowledge Giggsy was married.
Man has an affair with married woman he’s labelled a cunt.
Woman has an affair with married man, man still labelled a cunt.
Now didn’t women burn their bras in the 60s and 70s to fight for equal rights and don’t they have them now? Or are these poor damsels so weak in the knees that they can’t say No to any advance from a married bloke? Or is Imogen a stereotypical ditzy Welsh bird? If she is I’m heading to Wales if they’re that easy.
Mahesh, mahesh, – Nobody gives a flying fuck if you’e lost respect for Giggsy. So cry into your pillow as much as you want.
bill bob – fuck off you rat munching cunt.
billi bob – Has your house got electricity now? I did pass your mother’s details around my local, £2 a go seems pretty reasonable.
I don’t condone what Giggs has done and it was really stupid from him to do it…. but to be honest I don’t fucking care…. I didn’t care when Ashley Cole, John Terry and when Wayne Rooney did it…. and I don’t care now. It’s his private life and he’ll have to answer to his wife not to us and not to the media. From what I understand he’s wife already knew and is willing to work on their marriage. All we should care about is Saturday and all we should ask from Giggs is to play like he has all season long.
Ryan Giggs is still a legend, is still a role model for any kids dreaming of playing at the top for their entire career and winning tons of trophies and he is still our greatest player ever imo.
Rat1p Cheers for the link mate. Looks like they where fairly honest about it then. Still, bet they don’t worry to much about this other leagues. The scoring team should get the credit. Lord knows the defenders don’t want it. Just ask the Blackpool lad.
I hope someone breaks Hemmingway’s jaw.
bill bob
Are you sure you want to take me on – because you better be up to it
I love you motherfuckers assuming you may have something on me – please give it your best shot times it by how many balls you think you may have and well cum all you want
Don’t shoot prematurely as the bird was saying
It will be awesome to see Gary, Phil, Becks, Butt, Scholes and Giggs play together again. I hope that happens at some point tomorrow.
Just heard some blue nose wanker on radio 5 say city are the best team in the world how does that work they are not even the best team in manchester . Maybe stockport but not manchester dont you just hate the part timers
bill bob is typing fast and faster still as MG sits back reading his birds text to how bill bob ain’t doing fuck all
Sip that tea away my lad – it might be a while
And a huff and a puff and an erection here and maybe one there and Houston we have a problem it isn’t ging up exactly
Sponge Bob is no match for anyone above 4 foot.
Cheers willierednut
4 and a bit
As for Giggs, no, nothing has changed for me. Always will be a legend and imo the best United player of all time.
As for why he did the injuction, has anyone thought about the possibility that Giggs and his wife have resolved their issues and he didn’t want his kids to know about it? What right does any rag in this country have to make money out of people’s personal lives? So, yeah, he was right about that too. He shouldn’t have cheated on his wife, but let the two of them sort it out. It’s not Harry the butcher or Cathy the teacher’s job to discuss Giggs and his marriage.
Oh and Giggs and Terry are nothing alike. The Terry situation had serious repercussions on the England team. If Giggs sleeps with the wife of one of his teammates, then we will talk again.
Oh and John Hemming is an attention seeking cunt.
billy bob no one told you that the dark side is alive and kicking in me
I love it when a plan comes together
Are you shooting blanks son?
Not to worry the sperm that made you did a bad enough job anyway
Whats up can’t type fast enough? – I’m having these bird texts saying you ain’t fucking turning the ignition on – dumb motherfucker

What happened sucking mummies tits are we?
MG – Sponge Bob has crossed the line, but he’s that small, we can’t see him.
if anyone wants a link for the fa youth cup FATV HAVE IT ON FA.COM AND ITS FREE
If you have lost respect for Giggs, your respect was worthless.
Keep your shallow betrayal to yourself, else other fickle fanciers will follow.
No, you have no rights.
You ain’t no match I could do this till kingdom come
You have to know that saints are equal sinners that one side cannot exist without another

FA youth cup final
Anyway enough about Giggs…. big game tonight
Come on you Young reds!
willierednut
He said suck my dick like my bird is doing
I only love chickens
John Hemming was a nobody who wanted his 5 minutes of fame and has got it because he’s protected by parliamentary privilege, a privilege which also includes racking up expenses on 2nd homes, a £2k duck house and porn. He had no right to do what he did and was 100% totally unprofessional but since he’s from the shithole that is Birmingham the idiots from there will re-elect him.
This whole Giggsy thing was going to come out sooner or later and why can’t some of the miscreants posting here today realise he went for the injunction to perhaps protect not only himself but the club as well especially in the build up to a 19th Title and a Champions League final. If you don’t think thats true then you’re all hypocrites especially by calling him a legend and stuff. All we needed was another week.
I love it when MG kills bitches.
Good point about the injunction and proctecting his kids by some of you…if thats what the case is, then fair enough.
With words I mean.
I think bill bob has topped himself. Fucking Cunt.
I will say this
I’m proud of my friends here – and just like yesterday and today we have idiots that talk shit and unfortunately go to a level which demeans everything that we work hard to protect on here
bobby manc bill whatever – you want to fuck with me you better get the fucking kitchen sink and everything else and throw it the best you can beacuse you still won’t touch me bitch
This shirt is a symbol of defiance and you are not in the same ball park

Anybody know any good radio link for the FA Youth Cup final?
And on a final note, and I said this after the Rooney debacle in the summer, lets not act like he has cheated on us. Giggs was, is and will always be a gem for this club. Not underestimating adultery of course. But is has nothing to do with us.
Good luck to our youth.
saad says am watching on mutv but think you can watch it free on the fa website!
MG – Big bird? Ha ha. He’s disappeared, old sponge Bob. Sorry, small Bob lol.
paul scholes testimonial confirmed for the 5th august… any guesses on the opposition???? noone will ever guess!
So what if sir ryan went out and tapped some?as far as am concerned,the people coming here and acting all high and pious are the real liars!what sir ryan does in his private time in his private house with his own private money is his own private issue with his family!it is what he does on the pitch that matters to me!frankly, if he wants to do 3 diff everyday of the week,i would care the less! Go ahead and tear apart uefalona,sir ryan giggs,a true footballing legend!

Thanks, but I cant watch streaming video. My internet speed is too low. That’s why I’m looking for a radio broadcast.

Wow, that’s a surprise! I thought it would be Oldham. Can’t wait to see the KIng!
And Morrison scores!
MORRISSSOOOOOON!!!
goal morisson!
get in there boys morrison 1 up
RedLife. U don’t blame him for trying to protect his privacy he has young children..well he should of thought of that before he started all this.Not all fathers are a role model.Giggs has no morals.
Mahesh
While I appreciate that your last comment was a change of heart, and was possibly intended to be a positive comment on Giggs, unfortunately you only dig your hole deeper.
You are telling us that IF Giggs was trying to protect his family, then the injunction is OK.
Who the fuck are you to be judging our hero and idol, and determining guilt, and deciding what’s worthy of respect and what isn’t. Please desist. Thanks.
My love for United runs deep. Not shallow.
Not shallow.
Go on Ravel lad, you wannabe gangsta!
this slew is quite good.
New York Cosmos! I can’t contain my excitement! Ahhhhhhhhh
The media and this nobody MP can fuck off. Ryan Giggs is an awesome footballer and he’s got a Champions League to win on Saturday. 19.
Completely agree with all those posting here that Giggs’s infidelity simply does not compare to thuggery of Barton, Bellamy, Bowyer and Woodgate back in the day, and obviously Terry’s odious betrayal of his friend and team-mate Bridge.
But there are ways of shagging around and getting away with it; getting involved with a Big Brother-type “celebrity” and expecting to keep that quiet was asking for trouble. Letting your lawyers turn you into the media’s No.1 enemy was asking for trouble; trouble we don’t need just now.
Think Hemmings has done us a favour actually because I bet Giggs is feeling a strange kind of relief now compared to before and will stand a better chance of focusing on the final, but I’ve got a funny feeling his cack-handed lawyers might have cost him a starting place on Saturday and Fergie could play Anderson now instead.
Will Keane 2-0 , penalty kick. Get in you beauty!
keane 2-0 penalty
good pen will keane 2-0 united half time!
will keane 2-0
Super Will Keane! He has the right surname. Keano!
Lads haven’t been great… but have a great lead. Morrison – Pogba and Tunnicliffe need to get more involved. Every time they have we’ve nearly scored – or have scored. Would like to see Larnell Cole come on also.
SHEBBY SINGH ON ESPN IS THE BIGGEST MOTHER FUCKING BASTARD
he said we winning the league is similar to greece winning euro
I know I’m about two hours late, but I simply had to get this off my chest. To the preachy ‘never-expected-this-from-Giggsy’ mob, footballers are human beings. They might be idolized and paid ridiculous sums of money, but at the end of the day they are still people with flaws. They didn’t ask to be role models and moral benchmarks for the rest of the society- it’s the media and some half-baked fans that have thrust that responsibility on them.
Ryan Giggs has been the club’s loyal servant for nearly two decades now and has played more games for us than anyone in the history of the club. If you are going to forget all that simply because he screwed some whore, well, good luck to you.
The only reason I am disappointed by the entire saga is because my hopes of seeing Giggsy get knighted have now gone up in flames.
Oh well, fuck all that. Nineteen!

LOL what the fuck is that supposed to mean anyway?
willierednut
Yeah I think he got it – if he wants to talk sense he can if not it’s a one way street they hardly ever come back.
I slayed another troll – not bad for me: Karl Pilkington and little bill the fake manc bob whatever two days in a row
I love it when a plan comes together
Now come on you reds
today tomorrow and Saturday
Giggs hasn’t screwed some whore, it’s alleged that he did and he didn’t want those petty allegations getting into the press.
Morrison, what a wanker! Ha ha .
Brilliant link at the FA.com
Mahesh, fuck off.
@dela
I heard that elsewhere too. I really hope that he can still become a knight, but that’s out of our hands. If personal life plays a part, then maybe his chances have decreased severely.
@ dela – This should make no difference to Giggsy getting a knighthood. John Prescott and Paddy Ashdown both had long term affairs and they’re lords. Jeffrey Archer did time for perverting the course of justice and he’s a lord too.
what a shot by pogba
wat astrike from pogba
@sachu – Mate you from india?
I have stopped listening to pointless drivel he comes out with week in week out. How he’s still on tv is beyond me.
The only decent pundit on espn is our own paul parker.
Can anyone post the lineups?
@manutd forever
yes mate i am from india and u
there is no problem in pundits critising united
comparing MANCHESTER UNITED to greece
It’s good to listen to Gary Neville , he talks so much sense
that was a sitter morrison.
pogba great pass
morrison missed
Pogba really is special, wonderful play from him setting up Morrison
morrison makes defenders look like idiots. unbelieveable talent.
@Costas, Cyril
I really hope so. It’s always given for achievements in a particular field- personal life shouldn’t really play a part if you think about it, but you never really know.
On another note, Pogba and Morrison look world-class.
Morrison starting to boss it
Morrison, class player, what a goal!
PMSL….. A MUST watch
http://europeansportsnews.paddypower.com/form.php
And Morrison again! Three up! Top player, can’t wait to see him in first team.
wow….what a strike by morrison!
Morrison again!
Morrison is a level above the rest going forward. So good. When he matures physically he’ll be a star. Just needs to put on some weight and get stronger. Tunnicliffe looks like he could play for the senior squad next year
Brilliant from Morrison.
Darn, 3-1 on the counter

@man_utd_19
I think it’s referring to the nickname that SAF gave them when City first “burst” onto the scene. SAF called them “noisy neighbors”.
I like it that City fans have something to cheer about and a reason to thump their chests. Their club was shrinking so fast I was almost beginning to feel sorry for them.
Almost!
sloppy defending.
If Morrison didn’t have personal issues, he’d be in line for loan spell next season to get some first-team experience. He’s 18yo and he’s already THIS good! As it is, United need to keep him in house and help him overcome these issues.
Super Ravel! still 5 3 up. Come on lads, see it through.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow, should be fun!
I’m slightly dissapointed in Giggs, but to be honest, I only really care about what he does as a footballer. In all honesty, I don’t get the whole fuss the media is making. This is after all his life, his decisions. Yes, he’s a public figure, but that shouldn’t mean he has no right to privacy for himself, his family and most importantly his kids. Imagine the day they’ll have in school. It was a daft thing to do obviously and I would expect better from a United player, but if I was boozed up, I would probably have hit that too!
Go on Giggsy, bag a goal on Saturday and no one will remember
How does a kid that young have so many tattoos? The Sheffield kid obviously
SAF Mick Phelan @ the game.

Sell Chicharito! Call up Keano!
how good is will keane does anybody know
@ Saad
That didn’t come to mind mate
Still quite an idiotic banner though, given the difference between Utd’s success and history and their’s… Just hope it won’t take them another 35 years to win another trophy
what a pass pogba
Tell you want. Pogba is a player as well. What a pass.
again great ball from pogba
I know we shouldn’t get carried away with youth but boy what players we have there
second game of the u-18s i have watched…Morrison doing well but Pogba seems too laid back…..have heard several on here rating Pogba
…….just wondered…..
is he off form or just a bit too full oh himself…..
what I have seen tonight and last week
TonyBee – last games were not his best. against chelsea when morrison was banned he carried our midfield. he’s a great prospect nevertheless.
10th FA Youth Cup… Some great players there, namely Pogba, Morrison, Tunnicliffe, and Thorpe
@tony bee
mate you are a bit harsh
he had a good second half
he has everything shot skills
pogba morrison and tuncliffe
keane are stars also the sub cole looked god
@sachu
Keano reminds me of Teddy Sheringham.
Well done to the lads.
Fergie looks rightly pleased.
Need to get Morrisons head sorted but looks the part.
Will Keane, Pogba look like so so good.
10 youth cup. The future is bright. United United On On On!
@saad
he is quality
should get stronger
The politician who tattled on Ryan Giggs apparently had several extramarital relationships himself. 26, in fact, according to his wife.
Can anyone confirm that? If true, talk about the Grand-Daddy of Hypocrisy!
Well done to Sheffield United, team and fans. Brilliant from them.
We need a good prospect to come thru in the left-back department. The future is dark when Patrice Evra slows down or calls it quits. Any names come to mind, people?
Would it be fair to say that the FA Youth Cup is a “major” trophy?? I think it is.
@sachu
I hope he gets faster. You need speed in modern day football.
@saad fabio
Saad
What about Fabio? I think he’ll eventually go there when Evra goes..
Tyler Blackett who came on in last few minutes is a good player also.
saad – don’t forget fabio. can play on both sides.
Fabio yes…but he’s right-footed…it’d be much better if the left-back is naturally left-footed.
Then again, hey…if Fabio can become as good as Denis Irwin (who also was right footed), I’ll have no complaints.
Saad – I remember Fabio against Chelsea in the CS. Used both of his feet.
YOUTH CUP CHAMPS BABY!!!! DOUBLE JOY FOR THE CLUB!!! CONGRATULATIONS BOYS!!! WILL KEANE IS SUPER SPECIAL.!!!! SOOO HAPPY!!!!
I think giggsy was entitled to keep himself out of the papers. He is a proper footballer not a pr chasing media whore. If it gave him and his wife some time to sort stuff out before it hit the press then that’s a good thing. His family are entitled to deal with it first before the whole country gets involved. Is it a surprise that all this finally hits the papers the day after we got presented the title and 5 days before europe’s biggest match of the season? As if the London papers weren’t already talking about Chelsea sacking Carlo we need Ryan on the front pages. Shocking…
Shit happens to people all the time. For all we know he has already held his hands up to his missus for his shitty behaviour. Good luck to them I say.
Here’s to sir alex’s and ryan’s third European cup! C’mon united!
Smartalex – eveyone is entitled to an opinion on giggsy. He continues to be united and football idol. He was the epitome of a model footballer/professional as well as in how he conducts himself in private life. He has lost the latter to an extent in how he dealt with this issue – which was likely a misjudgment on his part. At the end of the day, supporting the team and its players to the hilt (not shallow) does not create an obligation to condone or desist from forming a contrary opinion of their conduct off the pitch. That applies to Giggs, Rooney, Ravel Morrison or anyone else associated with the club. They are human, which makes them imperfect. Whether they like it or not, they are also public figures and their conduct will have public repercussions. What supporting the private conduct has anything to do with supporting the club, I fail to see. So yes, I have lost respect for him at an individual level, and other united fans might have as well, but that is their personal opinion about the man Ryan Giggs, not the footballer and United legend. The two are, and can be mutually exclusive.
200th comment. Get in….
What a treat to see Fergie’s fledglings walk out on to Old Trafford again.
Before the main event on Saturday evening.
COME ON UNITED!
last I checked the reason Giggs invoked the injunction was primarily because, according to court judgments, he was being blackmailed by Imogen Thomas and her team of the conveniently located photographer for ridiculous amounts of money just because he exchanged a few drunken texts with her. He was foolish and idiotic enough to invoke the injunction that has caused more harm to his reputation than the alleged fling.
he was setup right from the start and was blackmailed for £100k. He sent her a drunk text message and he was an idiot enough to meet her at a hotel because she said she’d sell the text message to the papers unless he gave her a signed United shirt. Because he’s a fool, he went to the hotel, where a conveniently placed photographer snapped a picture of him and her in a hotel together.
After this, she sent him the pictures and said that he had to meet her at a different hotel and bring her £100k or she would go to the papers. The idiot went again, and got photographed again. He refused her the money, but signed some memorabilia and gave her free tickets.
Later, once she worked out that she wasn’t getting anything from him, she tried to sell her story based on the pictures of them in a hotel (twice) and a very drunken text message. Obviously, the papers ran it past the lawyers, and it went to court.
In court, the photographer admitted the setup, thus the player got a super injunction to protect his reputation as a family man. Funnily enough, the Imogen Thomas team didn’t even TRY to argue the facts of the case, they just said that it was “already in the public domain anyway” (because of the rumours), so she should be able to sell her story. Judge ruled that she is entitled to sell her story, but in no way is she legally able to even hint that she had an affair with Giggs.

this from wikipedia on john hemming, mp:
Shortly after his election in 2005, he made headlines when it was revealed that he was the father of a child with his personal assistant and fellow councillor Emily Cox, though he would stay with his wife and her three children. His wife Christine commented that she forgave him and is standing by him, as he has always been honest about his extramarital affairs, of which she said this was “about number 26″.[20][21] Following the publication of details of the affairs, Hemming voted for himself for the News of the World’s ‘Love Rat of the Year’ competition.[22] In 2010, his wife appeared in court charged with stealing his mistress’s cat.[18] Pleading “not guilty” on 7 February 2011, she was bailed and sent for trial in June.[23]
Congrats to the youth team.
So the bitch smartalex is back and starts fighting.Cunt of highest order.And by the way MG hoe’s your ass licking club going.
Bill bob go and fuck john terry you moron.
Wow, so much in-fighting here over Giggs. He messed up – in my eyes, as a family man, his stock has decreased, and as a ‘good guy’ footballer, I guess Paul Scholes is the only name I have left. He was foolish to get himself involved with Imogen Thomas, he was an idiot for trying to sue an American company in a British court.
With that said, he’s still a damn good footballer, and it doesn’t affect his footballing legend status.
What does disappoint me is the rest of you ripping into people who don’t agree with you. What the fuck happened to this place? I remember when trolls got shot, but fellow United fans could at least agree to disagree – and I haven’t even read this blog for much longer than four seasons anyway, but I fully expect to be completely burned here and now because I don’t agree with you, so I guess I won’t be back,
The injunction probably kept our momentum going, so let’s say Giggs took one for the team.
Best was never a perfect person, but we loved him all the same. That goes for Giggs.
For now, it is only about United vs Barca. Anything else can wait.
Sachu
Hows it going city fan?
Wastelands isn’t here if you need directions go google it
Hows your constipation going – I know it must be difficult walking around like a headless chicken crying to shit himself
Good luck with that
Mahesh
You say “everyone is entitled to an opinion on giggsy.”
You had a good opinion of him, but no longer respect him because of unsubstantiated and uninformative claims. You cannot believe that you know and understand the Imogen situation. Without any knowledge you are already stating that you have lost respect for him.
That is shallow. Wake up. Your claim of love for United cannot be considered as true, as you change your core opinions based on tabloid speculation, vague innuendo and ABU opinion.
In fact, you are not a true red.
To be fair to Sir Ryan… I’d smash it!
Come on, has anyone ever not made a mistake? Do we all know all the facts about this? And it certainly does take two to tango, but for fuck sake… We are in the final throws of the build up to the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL!!!
Let’s put this media circus behind us and get with the excitement at hand… Anyone else got goosebumps yet???
Smartalex: Well, if you think United fans are not entitled to from opinions on Giggsy the man based on the information available (and there is enough to suggest that he did fuck around, and invoked a super injunction for whatever reason – and by the way that very super injuction that Giggs has invoked prevents us from knowing the TRUTH, so he is himself responsible for any misinformation thats going around), then you are equally denied the privilege to define who a ‘true red’ is. Like I said, my respect for Giggs the player is mutually exclusive from my opinion of him as a man/individual. Now that is my personal opinion, and that of many others on this forum. If you can’t accept that, that really is your problem, not mine or anyone else’s. And if you really think that your opinion of being ‘shallow’ or what a ‘true red’ is really matters to anyone besides yourself, you must be truly deluded. Amazing how so called true red’s can come on here can claim to have a monopoly over defining what and how a ‘true’ fan of the biggest club in the world is supposed to think or feel.
“Cunt of the highest order!”
Thanks for that!
You, on the other hand, are clearly a low lying syphilitic bitter cunt in any order.
Mahesh
I don’t “think United fans are not entitled to from opinions on Giggsy the man based on the information available”
You say that, not me.
I’m saying: by you withdrawing your stated affection based on flimsy hearsay, your appear
a shallow cunt. Know what I mean?
Smartalex:
Like I said, the information available, and the ‘flimsy hearsay’ is absolutely a consequence of Giggs’ actions, especially invoking an injuction. And if I want to judge him, I can absolutely judge him as an individual for just that. And if you have a problem with that, that is your problem not mine. Honestly for all the actually ‘smart’ individuals on here who have genuine opinions and often choose to agree to disagree in a civilized manner, there is a smaller number of people with whom it is absolutely pointless trying to have a discussion.
Oh, and yes it has begun – the trademark of the so called ‘true red’. Descend to abuse and trolling when someone chooses to disagree with you. Truly, smartalex YOU are such a credit to United and United fans everywhere. Forgive me if I now impose my definition of what ‘shallow’ human being is, and brand you just that.
Now, I have no interest in being abused some more for my opinion so kindly desist from trying to shove yours on to me.
Mahesh.
You judge giggs prematurely, and then you shout your poor opinions to the world.
Of course, you attack me for politely pointing at your shallow support.
Shallow.
smartalex: Let me make this as clear as possible from my end, because I really don’t like coming on here to waste my time and energy arguing endlessly or to get abused.
1) I believe that Giggs actions (even the limited amount that we know i.e. he cheated on his wife, then got a super-injunction invoked for whatever reasons) are enough to reduce his stock as an individual which was impeccable before this whole saga. To ME they are enough for me to withdraw the affection and admiration I had for Ryan Giggs the man. What comes out later (which is hidden in the first instance because Giggs has invoked a draconian superinjunction) might make him drop even more in my estimation, or redeem a little, but regardless of that he will never be an all round role model that someone like EDVS or Scholes are now for me. Now, this is MY opinion, and MY feelings with regard to Ryan Giggs.
2) How I feel about Ryan Giggs the man has absolutely zero to do with how I feel about him as a player and United footballing legend. And your suggestion that my opinion of Ryan Giggs the man defines my standing as a United supporter is offensive and insulting. So you stating that you were polite in disagreeing with me is just plain wrong. And obviously I was not the one desceding to directly abusing the other person.
3) Finally, I am not imposing my opinion on anyone, I don’t expect anyone (including you) to agree with me), and I don’t even have a problem if you continue to think that my opinion with regard to Ryan Giggs is wrong – but you have absolutely no right to come out here and question my love for the CLUB based on my opinion of Ryan Giggs the individual in his private life. I am absolutely under no obligation to maintain my esteem for him in his private conduct.
Now if you’re going to come back now and call me a ‘shallow cunt’, or something worse again, feel free to do so. I just choose to disagree with you. And I won’t be back defending myself pointlessly again.
Mahesh
You tell the world that you “have lost respect for Ryan Giggs” based on the “limited amount that we know” That is shallow.
Now you blurt “Giggs … might make him drop even more in my estimation, or redeem a little, but regardless of that he will never be an all round role model that someone like EDVS or Scholes are now for me.”
Will EDVS and Scholes be subjected to your broadcast opinions of their unworthiness when you hear of some possible infringement of your values?
Your shallow history indicates that the loss of your respect is no loss.
Your last words were “And I won’t be back defending myself pointlessly again.”
I guess that Ryan would also clearly recognise how pointless my defense of him is.
If I may suggest, love United. That also entails not attacking or undermining our idols and heroes, whether you consider it warranted or not.
Love United.
