Of course we know that the day United would be allowed to negotiate their own TV rights would be the day the world ( Real and Barca included ) really sees the magnitude of our worldwide appeal!

@Aberbacadabra Hopefully none as he’ll break his leg when stepping of the team bus. There’s always hope.

Also,I see Daglish has come out and said, ‘A line needs to be drawn under the matter’, when he’s the only one who keeps bringing it back up.

Any links to MUTV?

United reserves were set to face City’s Elite Development Squad in the Manchester Senior Cup at Carrington 15 minutes ago. Cleverley might be involved.

Someone switch on their telly and report in, at least!

All I can see is the ridiculous price of shirts, tickets and even Sky subscriptions.

Football is a working class sport and clubs are/should be essentially not-for-profit organisations.

Fifa needs to cap wages and transfer fees globally, but they never will because that would jeapordise their own ridiculously high wages.

Disgusting.
February 9, 2012 at 13:23
King Eric says:
Pearce? Ha. fuck me. The media will love him and the fans because he is PASSIONATE. Talentless but passionate. Fucking clowns. Pearce the man who played Cleverley on the left wing or on the bench in the under 21 tournament to accomodate Herman Munster Henderson who was fucking dogshit.

Gonna have to avoid this site now for rest of day as don’t wanna know United score till I watch it tonight. Just one question. Is Tom playing? Elite Dev Squad? Fucking idiotic cunts.

Regarding Pearce:

Sepp on racism: the highlights

Man of the week: PFA head Gordon Taylor – says Sepp’s view on “heat of the moment” racism is “embarrassing… he doesn’t understand how divisive racism is. Saying that anyone on the receiving end should just treat it as part of the game and shake hands, it’s outrageous. He’s just not with it.” (1994: Taylor says Stuart Pearce’s alleged racist abuse of Paul Ince was “in the heat of the moment … Stuart regrets what he said, and he’ll be ringing Paul to apologise. Hopefully that will be the end of it.”)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/nov/19/said-and-done-sepp-blatter

Nice work by the FA yet again. Gary Neville should get the job. No joke.

Jonny says:
The latest unsavoury incident to hit football, Stuart Pearce’s alleged racial abuse of Paul Ince in Saturday’s Premiership match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, is expected to be defused by an apology.

The player has spoken to Gordon Taylor, the head of the Professional Footballers’ Association, who said: “Stuart regrets what he has done. He will be ringing Paul to apologise.”

we’d be miles ahead of the sspanish if we had a disproportionate share of tv rights money. united has the biggest fanbase in the world. thankfully, the FA is apt at something and this is good for the english league’s competitiveness

that deloitte money table is a joke. should be footnoted of course.

Jeet says:
The thing is, that most fans globally are gloryhunters. India and China are the biggest markets and Latam is arguably the most football crazy. The latter always supported spanish clubs, and sorry to say as an Indian, but my country is full of gloryhunting kids who change allegiance based on who’s winning and which club signed . So, with Barca dominating, Spain winning the world club, and CR7 in Madrid, you know the score.
Also, though I dont have stats, I have a feeling that these gloryhunting fans also buy the most merchandise, because it’s “cool”. Personally, despite being a United fan for more than a decade, I don’t have a single piece of merchandise (well, apart from a Nike tee with the Red Devil emblazoned on it, which my wife gifted me) because a) some part of me still finds the entire Glazer issue to be relevant and I dont want to line their pockets and b) Iwould hate to be taken for one of those shallow bastards who wear a United (or a Jim Morrison, or a Che Guevara) tee, without any conception of what it means and what a priviledge it is.
In some ways though, I guess it is brutally fair because the team that wins and dominates gets the max dosh out of it.

no cleverley, below are the comments from ‘today at old trafford’ on manutd.com…

12:35 Here’s the United Reserves team: Kuszczak; Vermijl, M Keane, Fornasier, Fryers; L Cole, Thorpe, Petrucci; King, W Keane, Lingard. Subs: Sutherland, Massacci, Brown, Rafael Leao, Giverin. (AB)

12:42 Some of you might be disappointed that Tom Cleverley isn’t getting the anticipated run-out for the reserves today – but don’t despair. Sir Alex will have his reasons, and he’ll probably give us an update in his pre-Liverpool press conference tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, Frederic Veseli – our deadline-day signing from City – is ineligible to face his old club having played for them in an earlier Senior Cup fixture this season. (AB)

Sgt. Pepper says:
Fuck their individual TV rights with Mediapro. The collective deal in England is very important for all teams. Anyway, I think the currency is a bigger factor in the comparison, here is an important part from the Deloitte report:

“For the purpose of the international comparisons, all figures for the 2010/11 season have been translated at 30 June 2011 exchange rates (£1 = €1.1073).”

Before the economic crisis the GBP was much stronger £1 = €1.4 or so. No wonder the gap is bigger in the Money Leauge in recent years despite the fantastic commercial growth from United. With a little bit stronger pounds sterling the club would be well above the €400m mark and closer to Real & Barca in this list. (sorry for any grammar mistake, english is my third language)

what is it? Ben amos rested or PIG getting a run out before pool game?

dannysoya says:
No surprise that barcelona and madrid are at the top. WHen you have the opportunity to negotiate your TV rights then it is all dandy for you. We are in a system that tries to make it fair for all english football clubs. If we negotiate out own TV rights we would be out of sight. The brand is REALLY STRONG. This should shut the “massive debt” ABU mugs up for a bit. LOL.

Paul Parker says:
I’ll have a look at those stats later, can’t open the image any bigger at the mo. No doubt the Spanish are pouring tax payers money into the two biggest Clubs tho? We are spot on not to buy players JUST because we can afford it. Real Madrid bought Ronaldo, and not only does it look like its ending in tears but how have Madrid benefited except in shirt sales? Even buying the BEST player in the world (at the time) doesn’t guarantee success, so the idea we can buy one fella and solve everything at Old Trafford is a bit naive. We are where we are through our Manager’s long term vision for the Club, not because of City/Chelsea-esque spending, so if Alex isn’t moving for any midfielders at the mo I’ll put that down to “conscious intent” rather than “crisis at United”.

The coming changes in football will effect all Clubs, and as usual our manager is looking ahead and planning in advance. Can’t knock him for being frugal!

@Johnny – top post about Pearce and Ince. We’re only a hop skip and jump away from the 80′s so anybody overly surprised by racism in the game needs a dose of reality. For starters half the CUNTS in the game and in the stands back then are still alive now! There were less than ten foreigners when the EPL started and none of them were black (I don’t think) but for a racist looking at the same League today it must burn their eyes haha. But the idea of Pearce stepping in to ease the race row is hilariously ironic, its as if every where the FA turn they are surrounded by Cunts haha.

Gotta laugh at the FA.

Hey mate, i’m well thanks.
I’d bet Amos is being rested, PIG seems to have played his last game already and doesn’t seem to be in SAFs plans barring an emergency.

Hopefully the reason Tom isn’t playing today wasn’t another setback. Maybe he wanted to include him in the squad for Liverpool.

February 9, 2012 at 14:36
l-swerve-l says:
I’d imagine that Clevs and Amos are in the squad for the liverpool match thats on saturday at 12 so they wont be risked/run out with less than 2 days recovery time.
Also (with the risk of being proved wrong :S) I’d have to say that some people worry/speculate far too much for people playing or not playing in a reserve match…
February 9, 2012 at 14:40
Paul Parker says:
@Jeet – 13:39 – thats an interesting take on glory hunters abroad mate. The way I see it, are millions upon millions of global boxing fans “glory hunters” for all claiming in unison that Muhammad Ali was the greatest ever? Most people rank him as their number one boxer, and thats only because he was the BEST, but isn’t that also “glory hunting”? Even if your favourite was Haglar or Tyson, if you come from Scunthorpe or wherever surely any “true” boxing fan would only support the boxer born and raised nearest to them? (Sarcasm) Or what about the whole world in the early 90′s wearing LA RAIDERS and CHICAGO BULLS gear? Was everybody outside the States “glory hunting” when they followed the outstanding career of Michael Jordan? Hell – shouldn’t all of England take off their American baseball caps and put on flat caps??? A Basketball fan NOT following the LA Lakers just because he’s born in Salford would be daft, so imo the whole “glory hunter” thing is slightly different for foreign fans following sports in another country. Personally, when I see people across Asia or Africa wearing RUUD or ROONEY shirts I don’t think they’re glory hunters, I think they’ve got taste!
February 9, 2012 at 14:41
rohan19 says:
@vilhem28 : mate you’re never gonna have 11 players playing for the reserves who’re already ready for the first team. they aren’t ready hence they’re playin in reserves.
imo blackett fryers larnell cole will keane pogba tunni and in a few years jack barmby have the best shot at making it..
also i believe ben amos can be top quality.

It's in my blood says:
Blimey, we just seemed to switch off for a few mins and bang, chasing it after that.
Scoreline doesn’t really tell the story!
Larnell Cole looks decidedly useful, pitch looks decidedly dodgy.
Makes you wonder about injuries at Utd when you look at the state of that Carrington playing surface.
Oh well. Saturday is the day that really matters.

@ jeet : you’re right to some extent. back when liverpool won the CL i saw hordes of people in ‘stevie me’ jersey.. and now its barca.. thats the way a market functions. there’s nothing anyone can do about it.. if you look at the cricket merchandise and support not much glory hunting exists. i haven’t seen many aussies swear by tendulkar and haven’t seen many indians swear by ricky ponting. (i personally hate the bastard after the sydney game 4 years back. you’ll remember that one). so i think it mostly exists in league sport. where teams are localized rather than nationalized.

P.S : even i do not have any united merchandise. it is sort of taboo for me. the one time i bought a jersey united lost the title to chelsea by one point. !!

Jeet says:
@Paul Parker: You’ve got me totally wrong, mate. I for one, have spoken out numerous times against the “You’re a gloryhunter cause you’ve never been to OT” brigade. I myself became addicted to United, not only because my Old Man was a Fergie and Bestie fan, but more so because one day I switched on the telly and saw poetry in motion, i.e. Keane, Scholes, Giggsy and Becks in action.

What I’m referring to is an entirely different phenomenon. Kids who will buy Munich merchandise if Messi moves to Bayern. Thousands of kids have stopped watching United because we got dumped out of the CL (may were wearing rooney tshirts in front of their telly that fateful night against Basel). Even “ex-utd. fans” who started supporting city (thankfully, very few till date) because they “cant be beaten”. Kids sporting Messi (never Xavi or Iniesta) tees but who dont understand the offside rule. Utd. fans who never make any effort to understand the club.

We all started because we liked the way United played, or because United won, or because we thought Giggsy was hot, but we knew we were in it for life, and took it upon ourselves to get educated on the club. Contrast to kids changing allegiance faster than a golddigger changing husbands. That, sorry, I cannot accept.
February 9, 2012 at 15:03
rohan19 says:
@lebomanc : yep. worst part was, i bought mine the day atkinson or some other ref stole the title from us. its a taboo ever since.
February 9, 2012 at 15:07
FletchTHEMAN says:
Key numbers that can be pulled from other sources suggest the United business plan is in good shape including about 80 paid down on our borrowed funds now down to around £308.3m, (decrease from £376.9m)

Some key numbers:
Annual operating profit of £110.9m (increase).
Revenue of £334.1m for the year to the end of June 2011 (increase of £45m)
Pre-tax profit of £29.7m. (increase, compared to a loss the previous year due to restructuring of the bond dept.)

Turnover increased in all major sectors,
– matchday revenue now £108.6m (increase from £100.2m)
– media revenue climbing to £119.4 (increase from £104.8m)
– commercial revenue growing to £103.4m (increase from £81.4m)

If United could negotiate its broadcast income it would kick proverbial ass.
Its matchday income is incredible. Only rivaled by the virus who pay significantly more for seats.

I think the picture looks really good, but fans want to see this translated into some quality signings AND the emergence of some of our youth (Amos, Cleverley, Danny, Podga part of that)

Jeet Paul Parker

Glory hunters are a part of a fabric at any successful club. City fans for years made fun of our global fan base, cos it was so vast and from every corner of the world. They will experience the exact same thing, the more trophies they win(hope it never happens) In Northern Ireland, the 4 biggest clubs were United, Liverpool, Celtic and Glasgow Rangers. If you happened to be over here at any time during the last 25 years, that was the tops you would’ve seen people wearing. Since Chelsea’s emergence, I’ve seen more and more kids wearing Chelsea kits/tops. Before the Roman era though, hardly any. I’m not saying United, or even the dippers don’t have their fare share of glory hunters. In football, you’ll always have people jumping on the bandwagon. Just the way it goes unfortunately….

Clint-iamyourpapii says:
I’ve decided I couldn’t give a damn about the financial side to United.
We have no role in decision making so no point making useless suggestions like sell to qataris.

Concentrate on footballing matters like;
Keep the team fit.
Target at least 34 points from the remaing 42 ponts available at Minimum
We need a midfielder,perhaps another defender.
We need to be nice to the likes of Berbie,Owen,Anderson,Kuszchak etc and let them leave.
Also reinvesting ( financial talk eh? ) in Scholes’,Gibson’s,Hargs,Fletchers replacement/cover..

Lastly sack Alex Ferguson and bring Don Fabio Acapello

NotoriousRedDevil says:
@ Jeet. – I see where you’re coming from but without elaborating and causing a furore, not many people who originate from that part of the world understand loyalty in sport. None of my family other than my brother and I understand it anyway.

However it’s not just restricted there some people just want to be flavour of the month, seen it first hand when I worked in a sports shop. Mums would come in with the kids and get the kids to switch to the best.

Was on a train after we beat Pompey in the community shield and there was a little kid fully kitted out with his Mum and I overheard her say to the brat in training

“You used to support Chelsea didn’t you but now you’re a Man U fan.”

It happens eveywhere but its just more common in India (and most devoloping countries) the majority of people just follow the individual, they don’t fully understand the team concept or just like to be associated with the best.

The amount of times peoples faces used to light up when I showed them the pictures on my phone of when I went to OT whilst in Japan was simultaneously amazing and strange. For them its like I’ve done something amazing. For me it really isn’t as I’m from England. Like I said by having gone to OT numerous times they were just as impressed by that as they were my qualifications and these were businessmen I’m talking about.

NotoriousRedDevil says:
@ Paul Parker – You’re spot on about the Raiders and Chicago Bulls thing. Some things transcend sport and become iconic. Saw a film about the Raiders a while ago about Al Davis and the Raiders and how the NWA made them mainstream by wearing their iconic black clothing in their music videos. My old man (who hates Hip Hop) has all the LA Raiders gear so had to laugh when in the film they associated Raiders with gang culture. Told my Dad he was responsible for getting me into hip hop with his gang colours. He wasn’t too happy. I’m a Raiders fan purely down to the Hip Hop connection. Hardly see many Raiders games these days because hardly any are broadcast because they aren’t very good.

Ditto with Bulls, as a kid after the ITV Chart show they used to show the NBA and the Bulls dominate. Jordan made Basketball famous around the world. Add that to his NIKE deal became bigger than than the sport itself. People see it as successful and its a fashion label in itself and wear the merchandise around.

Abroad thats exactly what United is. Its a fashion brand just as much as it is a football team.

Also had to laugh at the pic you put up in the other thread had me in stitches that. Good film too.

@willierednut – You ought to check the film out mate, I know you like your hip hop its called Straight Outta LA.
February 9, 2012 at 16:28
NotoriousRedDevil says:
@ Jeet – I totally agree without sounding sexist (I don’t know any women personally that actually support United) the women who follow football try way too hard for me.

Overdo it. I was with my girlfriend, one of her female friends, and some others we both mutually knew watching United vs l’arse at a mates house when we ended their unbeaten run and I went mental when both goals went in.

Apparently I was way too agressive in the way I follow my football. What the fuck does that even mean? I’m supposed to do a golf clap when we win? It was a huge game we weren’t expected to win. I vowed that day never to watch football both live and on TV with any woman I’m interested in/going out with. Spot on about Indian women never met a single one who even plays sports let alone understands it. Stick a bollywood film on and low and behold 3 hours of recycled torture from hollywood with songs!!!

Dogleash saying that Suarez will shake evra’s hand. Evra doesnt want Suarez to shake his hand. He wants him to apologize and then maybe shake his hand. Dogleash is trying to put Evra in a tight spot coz if Evra chooses not to shake suarez’s hand, they’ll try to make Evra out as the bad guy.

Until that man-dog owns up to his crime, touching his hand in any civil gesture would be a crime and a betrayal to all victims of racism around the world. DEATH to the cunt!

He then tries to use the so called “unwritten rule” that says that what happens on the pitch should stay on the pitch. You can see that this MUG knew what he did to Evra. OMG what the fuck is the F.A waiting for?

NotoriousRedDevil says:
@dannysoya – Yeah I read that his entire stance “I said sorry but don’t mean it.” same goes for that shit club he plays for. If that was the “unwritten rule” that means the field of football is beyond the means of law which it most certainly isn’t.

I am hugely disappointed that Evra hasn’t taken a legal stance on how dogleash and vermin football club have constantly said libelous things about him. Furthermore the fact the scouse cunts haven’t shut up about it appauls me too. I know some peoples views are that Evra has remained dignified by staying silent but for me the minute dogleash had said

“He’d done this sort of thing before” when he clearly hadn’t would have had me ring my agent/solicitor pronto.

I have nothing against Ando but when did he join 2007? Its 2012 and by the summer his 4th season will have passed. Terrific potential but we’ve only seen this at max for 3 games in a row.

Perhaps a loan spell at a good team will do him well. On his day, he’s a right little warrior but how often will we have to wait 6 months for this to appear? Nani has done us proud, Ando is yet to match a quarter of Nani’s contribution to United.

Nani was progressing in 2009-10, led the way assistwise and scored stunners in 2010-11 and has done very well in 2012.
Anderson meanwhile has learnt to shoot and how to play with Clevs,apart from that there no career defining moment yet. Please remind if anyone knows and I’ll head straight to youtube then apologise.

I hope he plays this season and stays fit. Because 1 more season of this goes beyond faith in youth and more to the levels of Arsenals persistance with clowns like Denilson,Bendtner,Walcott,Djourou etc.

Not every player makes the grade, im not saying Ando is a clown Lol (looks like one though) but I hope the cutting of his hair and the slight improvement of his english speaking skills is displaying some sort of maturity because we really need guys like Clevs,Ando to step up, we can’t always rely upon Scholes + Giggs….with Fletch out ill, Gibson sold, the prince re-retiring, a signing would boost us in strength in Quality which is needed ahead of strength in depth.
February 9, 2012 at 18:02
Clint-iamyourpapii says:
Great video of Anderson:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCBtlUwnhkw

After this clip, I thought I misjudged my evaluation of Ando’s contribution during the last 4 seasons but I Know its more likely I am spot on because Ando’s videos are very misleading. I remember back in 2007 I thought according to youtube we was getting the next Cesc Fabregas but of United with the flair to dance and destroy like Ronaldinho…..

If its any consolation Cedars looks very unlikely I won’t be there on Saturday, so probably join you on here for a cyber beer. Was absolutely convinced I’d get tickets but club are selling season tickets for the remainder of the season and low and behold the vermin game is part of that deal. Having a look at the fixtures left at home not surprised they are doing that especially as with no major cup runs possible. Can’t believe its a very good possibility that the cit-eh game will be my last memory of OT. I pray it isn’t

I sure hope you get to go to OT again this season. It’s probably a long shot that we will wrap up the league title 2 games before the season ends, but maybe you should try getting a ticket for the Swansea game. At best, you will witness the trophy presentation. At worst, you could witness Scholes’ last OT game.

Can’t have that stress you know Jeff…

@ Costas. Cheers mate. I’m going to sound bitter like Roy Keane now but thing about our club is the fans only want to go to the big games OR if theres a chance of seeing the PL trophy. I doubt I’ll get Swansea tickets even if I was able to go. Same thing happened to me when we played Barcelona in the semis didn’t get a ticket despite having a season ticket.

I’ve spoken to fair weather United fans in the past when they ask me How I get tickets and ask me to help them out…IF its a BIG Game. Winds me up that. I would have been there on Saturday even if we were playing Northwich Victoria. All of a sudden we have a big game and fans who couldn’t be bothered to show up for stoke or show their voices for blackburn want in.

That’s not necessarily true. There are tons of United fans who live overseas ( like me) who would kill to get a seat at OT for even a single game, be it against Crawley or against Liverpool.

On the other hand, some fans might not have too much money, and would only like to see a footy match where they’d be guaranteed entertainment from all the top stars, who might be rested for the smaller games.

bobbycharlie1968 says:
My first post in a while, been absolutely snowed under at work. Extra long rant for you all to read to make up for my brief absence. Nothing like a bit of JT bashing is there? Absolute fucking monstrously wide and hairy cunt that he is, going to talk about La Liga, the league where 18 teams help two teams win, first though.

How the fuck can Real and Barca be allowed to negotiate their own TV deals? It is fucking outrageous and always has been. Consider the fact that the Spanish FA/La Liga actually are allowing them to disadvantage not only other teams through lack of transfer funds, but damaging most of the clubs in Spain? Fair enough that they are two very established clubs (they’re both cunts in how they go about their business, especially transfers) and they are very good teams, not quite the unstoppable force and immovable object that they’re always made out to be. But it’s killing the club game in Spain. People might say Real and Barca are on another planet, but it’s mostly down to these TV deals. Beyond Latin America and the states (and Spain obviously) I’ve not encountered hordes of madridistas or loads of los cules fans (playing football manager while writing this, los cuntos is more like it) across the world, and I’ve been to a fair few places in my time. We have fans EVERYWHERE. Imagine how much money we would make from the Asian market alone?!?!? Billions. Anyways, they’re fucking with the club game in Spain and making it a shite league with two fantastic teams. How fun is that? Praying that your team gets a giant killing once a season. Even Valencia Sevilla and Villareal have dropped off the radar now. The trophy laser engraver just has to prepare for either Real Madrid C.F or F.C Barcelona for La Liga and the Copa del cunt. Look at our league in comparison, which is much stronger and has better viewing figures and fans around the world. Realistically 5 teams could regularly challenge for the title (omitting Liverpool for 22 obvious reasons) and even more for cups. Fucks sake, CARDIFF are in the final of the Carling Cup! Who the fuck are Cardiff?!? You’d never see Hercules or Zaragoza doing the same would you? Even if they did make it to the final, barring a bunch of freak results, Real or Barca would lie in wait and destroy them with their second team (Real I mean, Barca have no second team to speak of). Fucking outrageous if you ask me. Imagine if the year that we renew our kit sponsorship that we somehow negotiated our own TV rights deal. We would probably make double what Real or Barca make. I don’t think we should sell our TV rights, rather Barca and the facists should revoke theirs. However, who’s going to throw money away like that? In which case I’m all for United getting their own for the most part.

Now. Where do we start with Capello, England, Redknapp and Sir John of bitching, captaincy obsessed, racially uneducated, affair partaking, drug dealing dad, mum’s a thief, crying in the rain, jeremy kyle show pin up Terry. Eurgh. I can’t stand the fucking cunt. I genuinely hope he is brutally assassinated. I’m not a violent person (hard to believe) but I have so much hatred for this fucking disgusting piece of slime that I can’t help but wish a long, slow and painful death upon him. Would probably do his kids a favour to be honest. I can just see them, “I want to be like daddy when I grow up mummy!” “awww, a professional footballer who fancies himself as Mr. Chelsea even though he supported United growing up and angled for a move to City?” “No don’t be silly mummy, a brain dead cunt who is obsessed with being captain, a scummy fucker who shags my mates bird and selling my assets (private box, england captain marketing) for profit!” “wow little Terry! that makes you sound like a fucking dirty whore!”. Poor little bastards. Because he didn’t step down as captain, because don’t you know, he bleeds england, Capello, who is just as much of a dolmio faced cunt, resigns. Don’t get me wrong, can’t stand England and the FA, will support them during a major tournament, but only just. How am I meant to support the aforementioned cunt, the thug formerly known as Gerrard, “I can throw up in this cab and not pay, don’t you fucking know who I am?” Cole and other massive twats like Wilshere, good player but he’s just a little shit isn’t he? If “JT” (Just Tears?) loved his country and his national side so much, he would have stepped down. Innocent until proven guilty, but you’ve still got more or less a fucking criminal conviction over your head. Step the fuck down you massive cunt. But no, he bleeds leadership (I wish he would bleed enough to lose a substantial amount of blood) so why should he? Never mind that the manager will resign and your team will be a shambles heading into the Euros. Christ, what a fucking senseless Captain Loser Lesbian Cunt. And Redknapp for England? HA! No denying he’s done well at Spurs, but he’s never won a title, he’s never consistently won silverware, yes he’s performed small miracles (Portsmouth 2009 with a lot of help from a CUNT of a referee), but c’mon. He’s managed Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Southampton before Spurs. And Spurs had potential anyway. In other words, I might as well apply with my Football Manager CV. Not to mention he looks like he’s going to have a stroke at any minute. If he actually wins something with England he might die. Would be a fucking hilarious ending to this whole saga. But here’s to the lesbian haircutted king of the chavs being locked away for his racism. I’m praying it’s for life.

@Pratyush – All due respect mate I was on about supporters who live in England. The thing about big games doesn’t wash with me unless you want to see the stars of the opposition. As far as I’m aware we pretty much play the strongest team possible in league games unless we have injuries or a quick run of league games a la X-Mas period. As for the money thing can buy into that now with how much our tickets are but this isn’t a recent trend its been going on for years. No qualms about fans who come from abroad, having spent time in Japan the way the PL is addressed compared to England really is chalk and cheese.

Agreed about the half and half scarves never made any sense to me that. Same goes with the Green and Gold, very few actually understood the campaign the minute I saw dozens of Green and Gold wearers walk out the megastore with merchandise I stopped wearing mine. I’ll buy match tickets and thats it, no shirts, no programmes, no pies, no beer no fruit gums.
@Vilhelm – Well the club are selling season tickets for the remainder of the season and have a installment policy in place as well so you don’t have to pay in one go, works out at £40 per ticket. They’ve never done that before. They seem to know how to maximise match day revenue to the max.

Damn losing the UCL money is going to widen the gap even further. I’m all for a fair league where tv rights are equally shared, but you have to wonder whether to a certain extent it my set us back in Europe as almost all the bigger teams in the other major European leagues can negotiate their own tv rights…not certain of the Bundesliga though. it’d be great if the other leagues followed suit but till that happens, IF it ever does it definitely is a disadvantage for United as we’d be unstoppable if the PL stance on equal tv rights changed. It doesnt need to be as extreme as La Liga where the top 2 teams get 50% but a slightly larger slice of the pie would be nice…sigh.

Jeet & NRD – won’t go accusing you guys of being sexist because there aren’t too many girls (esp from the Indian subcontinent) who are really into football or “get it” & even most of the ones who watch it mostly do cause so-&-so player is hot & then they leave the club & they turn into Real Madrid fans (ugh) but not all of us are like that!

@Notorious

Always moan mate. Take it from me, the more you supress it, the more it will eventually come out with a vengeance.

You know it’s a very weird set of rules regarding match tickets. Like the Barca game you mentioned. How can you not attend a game if you have a season ticket? I am guessing they don’t apply to European games. But there has to be a priority list where season ticket holders come first. Nonetheless, another suggestion I have is if you try your luck in a Europa League game (if the same restrictions don’t apply there). Who knows? You might end up going to a semi final tie against Man City…

I had the same problem as NRD. I obtained another season ticket for 1 season. No one wanted the Stoke, Wigan, Blackburn games but as soon as Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Shitty games were on offer I could have sold them 5 times over. We have to buy our seat/ticket for Home Champs league and FA cup games, these are compulsory and extra cost. You can opt out of the Carling Cup and this year The Europa. Think you had to opt out of Europa by early Jan.
Never had a problem getting games when I was a member until we played the above so called top teams where I’d rarely get one.

Well it’s nice to be back and thanks to everyone for the welcome back!

In the time gone losing a football game hasn’t been as bad as the news that came by on a personal level and stayed for over a week – it was hard to digest and difficult to deal with and the momentary pause and reflection that everyone offered here was really heartening.

You cannot replace a heart and you cannot match souls but the connection that Manchester United gives speaks volumes and breaks boundaries like nothing else.

We are all on a journey and somehow one connection that we share brings us binding together from wherever we seem to be.

There is much to learn about ourselves and much to admire, there are things that when we see together mean a whole lot more when we try to see things by ourselves. We maybe then are great alone but we are greater still together.

Of course in this time gone their has been a healing process, and I bow to my friends for their unreserved
support and inspiration.

Things that cannot be seen have no right to be a part of our lives but sometimes when the crosroads have to be passed they just has to be passed – at times it’s better to cross a crossroad with those that can lift you, hold a hand on your shoulder.

February 6th has passed too and one more year goes down into history.

But we all get to do something about it – we all get to put a hand on each of our shoulders and connect.

And ultimately this world becomes a better place when there is no one left standing alone.

I love my club beyond words and sometimes I think that these words are not enough to make good of what I want to express, but I am what I am because there are those out there somewhere that make me better.

The sum of all our parts begins and ends with Manchester United and that is probably the greatest thing that we have.

We can lose a game, but that spirit that belief, that relentless drive to move on to stand up to carry on cannot be matched.

Light a way United, because no matter whatever happens to you, we will be with you through anything and everything.

@ Jellybean . Cheers, all i was doing was shouting at the TV never done much more than that really. Maybe English born women don’t really know what aggression is, we are after all a nation that has turned soft.

@ Costas – Probably right about that, picked up a few bad/good habits over dealing with things that wind me up over in Japan. Been back here a few days and still getting back into that English way of life. The Barca game was a club balls up, because away allocations and matches for UEFA delegates increase per round it forced some season ticket holders to be put in a ballot. They contacted me by email when I didn’t have a computer by the time my mate and I found out all tickets sold out. Same thing happened that season with l’arse in the cup but fortunately we managed to get some 3 days before the game. Told them they should send a text out as not everyone can get to their email. To the clubs credit they do send texts out I would like to think it was because of me but the Barca balls up that very season thinks its unlikely.

Cheers. Personally I’ve never owned a season ticket, but I find it kind of shity that a holder could find themselves in the position you did against Barcelona. Season tickets shouldn’t come with asterisks imo. They could have reduced the number of Barcelona’s travelling fans. Not going to say the same about the delegates. Fat chance that was going to happen. On the other hand, it’s the kind of problem this club faces due to its enormous fan base. And that’s on top of Manchester being blue.

Apparently Rio made some sort of comment on twitter that the next England manager should be British and that they don’t need anything else lost in translation. And of course he suggested Harry Redknapp. After Rooney, another one of our lads that has handled this in a disappointing fashion. It’s not their job to demand who gets the job. Plus, all this campaigning for Redknapp just makes me more certain that they won’t someone that will tolerate the circus like atmosphere of the England camp.

I get Rio’s frustration with Capello. I really do. But since when is language an issue? Rehagel didn’t know how to speak any Greek, but that didn’t stop Greece winning the Euro? The problem is elsewhere and it translates in all language: England have many overrated players.

We’ll see if this was a significant move in the Pogba saga. The boy seems to be pretty happy at the club right now. And Fergie said they were trying to sign a new contract. However, he made plenty of similar comments when Tevez’s loan deal was coming to an end. Point being, the negotiations could easily fail no matter how much good faith both parties show.

NotoriousRedDevil says:
Just 1 Costas. A solitary one. Makes you wonder lottery or no lottery thats a piss poor return.

Agree with you about lost in translation stuff. In my opinion a lot of English people have the attitude speak English or else. The England squad is hardly full of scholars. There’s a very xenophobic attitude in regards to certain things and its done very subtly.

Didn’t post in on here because didn’t give a fuck but when Ramsey said the players should be consulted over who the next Wales manger should be I thought that was a load of bollocks. Your job is to play and thats it. He’s not even a senior pro for fucks sake.

Capello was a good manager (You don’t win 9 league titles by being crap) perhaps not for England, his legacy will be tarnished by one game and if that Lampard goal had stood the Germans weren’t coming back. I digress though his man management skills at time have been shambolic. The Beckham fiasco at Madrid was a joke and made him look like a fool then you had the Rio as Captain debacle. He may have took Terry back but the majority of the nation especially the media wanted him back in as well. He also did bring through young players its wrong to bring too many through at the same time and although not a popular figure on here used Parker ahead of Fat Frank at times.

NRD. Yeah good thanks mate. Little man almost sleeping right through now. Getting much easier with each passing day. Hope you are well. Regarding the “big games“ the lad who runs North Yorks Supp Club fucking hates the fact the coach is rammed for these games but can barely half fill it for the likes of Wigan etc. So much so when we get on the coach he has a pop by saying to said offenders “must be a big game today eh“. I don’t subscribe to this “oh I aint off to fa cup game as it will be second team“ bollocks. I like watching United whoever dons the shirt.

Oh those half and half scarves get my fucking back up. Especially when its dippers or city. Watching live at red cafe last night and this geezer sits in the studio with a pint every fucking week in a t shirt and g and g scarf. Why? You are putting money behind the bar you daft cunt. Fucking idiots.

Yes I will be at platts in my denim suit and mullet hairdo like Giggs says!

Oh Samuel yes Cundy is a fucking wanker. On your on sky sports chloe everton (who I like by the way as she is a red) always asks him for his opinion like he knows exactly what’s going on. Fuck off Cundy you know fuck all. Thinks himself a rentboy legend despite them fucking him off. Oh and those ridiculous oversized jam jar glasses and permatan don’t help.

Here’s how The Sun are reporting the Season Ticket deal discussed by James21 etc. above:

‘Manchester United are offering fans tickets to tomorrow’s grudge match against Liverpool to try to ensure Old Trafford is full for the title run-in. United sent a text message to all non-season ticket holders yesterday to make the shock offer. The Liverpool game would be part of a package covering all of United’s remaining home league matches.’

Costas says:
@Notorious

In terms of stricly results, Capello’s record was very good. And no doubt that things might have been different if Lampard’s goal had counted. I heard a lot about the style of play, but that’s debatable. These players aren’t world beaters anyway. Most of the big English clubs depend on foreign players for their creativity. United are the only exception because of Rooney. But no talented English wingers out there. Liverpool have Downing, Arsenal have Walcott, Chelsea have no one, City have Johnson (he’s good, but can’t seem to take it to the next level) and we have Ashley Young. That’s not a knock on Young. I like him as a player. But it’s not easy for him being in the shadow of Nani and Valencia.

I was a fan of Capello personally. Until that Egypt game where he kept Rooney out there for 87 minutes. That kickstarted his injury problems that proved so costly against Chelsea and Bayern in 2010.

I have total respect for Roy Keane. His views are clear, intelligent and forthright.

“Capello is a strong character and obviously thought his authority was questioned with John Terry losing the captaincy,” Keane stated last night. “You’ve got to admire him. He stuck to his guns. They went over his head, taking the captaincy off Terry. Obviously they’ve asked him to apologize and he’s gone.”

“Regardless of who comes in, people need to stop placing such importance on the captaincy because it looks like it’s an obsession in England.”

“Terry had a press conference when he was made captain, David Beckham had a press conference to announce he was standing down as captain – and cried! Give me a break!”

“It’s a big ego trip and it shouldn’t be about being popular with your team-mates. It should be because you are respected by them and as a reward for your service. Nothing more, nothing less.”

“What worries me are the likes of Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand coming out and saying Harry should get the job”

“Some players are going on about how great Fabio Capello was, which was odd because they seemed to be saying different things in private. And whatever happened to players keeping their heads down?”

Roy Keane speaks his truth in no uncertain terms.
In my opinion Roy is right.

The FA cannot chose to prevent a player from being captain.
They do however have full authority to determine who is eligible for the squad.
If they don’t want Terry to be Captain, they must make him ineligible entirely.
Players should not publicly express their views on potential Managers, or Captains.

The Manager choses the players, not vice-versa.

Good morning my friend….. Keane does say it like it is and always has done. However there are times when he is best advised not to say anything, like the time when he publicly criticized his own team mates which eventually brought an end to his United career.

Good morning! Happy Match-day-eve!

I think that Keane’s views should be considered. If I disagree with some of his views, it won’t stop me from carefully studying his next surprising expression, for I regularly find him insightful and intelligent. There have been views of his that i’ve disliked, but I differ from most in that I believe that Sir Alex does not feel in any way disrespected or violated by Roy. In fact, Sir Alex doesn’t expect Roy, Ole, David and Eric to have similar views or to express them identically. I’ll bet that Fergie devours all Keano’s words in the press, but never reads a sentence of Becks.

Of course, in each and every instance I back Sir Alex. Not that he needs me!

The Blues want to spend £100m transforming a run-down 80-acre plot near the ground – but progress threatens to be stalled by Mr O’Brien’s refusal to leave.

Luckily I had asked around and was told that there is no chance that you could just turn up and get in. So what is the solution I asked? Turn up early enough and hope for returns.

We got there at 8 fucking AM and were first in line at the ticket window, this was on Boxing day, freezing as fuck and non stop rain. around noon, the line behind us was a mile long. We were fucking shattered and the window only opened at around 2 PM…. 6 hours waiting and then we finally got our tickets.

No doubt that CUNT Terry is licking his lips at the prospect of having a fellow hood-wearing affiliate in the Ingerlund camp. Fuck em. Fuck Ingerlund. I really couldn’t give a flying minge if they implode upon themselves and die of heart attacks for over-zealous Sieg Heils in the changing rooms whilst engaging in an S&M Nazi-themed dungeon.

Talking of Twunts/ cross burning similarities- Vermin tomorrow- i’m confident going into it- I really think we’ll do the business- especially after Dogleash’s comments about the buck-toothed Fuck. For a big club with history they’re all remarkably small time down the other end of the East Lancs. Disgusting hateful self-pity City.

In a back alley in the Anfield area of Liverpool, flowers and tributes were left where the body of a mystery dead baby was found – before police realised it was only a chicken.

A member of the public discovered the remains. Police cordoned off the scene but soon realised that it was not a human but a chicken.

Merseyside Police told the community on Monday to “stop grieving, it’s only a chicken”.

Giggs added: “When I signed my first contract, I never thought I’d be able to play at United for 22 years, but I feel good and I know I can still contribute to keeping the team pushing for honours.

“Winning the club’s 19th title was a great feeling but this club is all about what we do next and I’m really pleased I can be part of that.”

He was supposed to be out until the end of February, yet returned in early January. We didn’t get the full story about his absence then. My theory is that he was taken out of the firing line because he was out of shape and was then rushed back when our problems in midfield intensified. But we never got the full story then and I don’t think we will now. At some point he’ll just pop up again and then disappear again after 3-4 games.

@Costas

So bizarre, int it?

It’s got to the stage now where giving up on him isn’t really an option. For all his potential, he’s not shown enough in terms of durability or consistency for anyone else to stump up a transfer fee or match his wage bill. With Scholesy tiding us over at least til the end of the season, and Cleverly back hopefully for good this time, let’s hope that Ando gets the full time he needs to recover from whatever setback he’s suffered – be it psychological or physical. If this means aiming for the start of next season, then quite frankly so be it. In his current state, he’s no great loss to us. But I really want to see him back to his best and nailing down a spot.

Welbeck’s patience, however, was rewarded in November 2008, when he came off the bench against Stoke, nine days before his 18th birthday, and marked his Premier League debut with a wonderful goal.

Welbeck’s face beams as he relives the moment. “I received the ball from [Dimitar] Berbatov and I played a one-two with Manucho and it was just sub-conscious … the shot was sweet, into the top corner. When the ball went in, that feeling … if that feeling was a drug I would be dead!” he says laughing. “I’ve never had that feeling again, not to that extent. It was surreal. I saw my brother, Chris, in the stand and he was virtually doing cartwheels down the stairs.”

King Eric – hello my friend! Kudos indeed!

His idea is that City would then have to negotiate with each plot owner, or alternatively get the Council/Government/Courts to force each plot holder to sell. The downside is that his sales to a many-headed United group will likely be blocked in the deeds office long enough for City to force him to sell direct to them.

All he wants to do is slow down the spreading wasteland and diseased culture of city.

There was all this hype around Ravel but not everyone is seeing the likes of Larnell Cole, Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba, who are just as good in different ways. Sometimes I train against Larnell and Jesse and think I’m playing against a little Iniesta and Xavi. I really hope they can make that step up.”

I’d like our lads to be even more eager at the prospect of being injured. I think the Twins,Ando,Owen and Rio would probably declare themselves injured 19 minutes through a match.

Anyways. Eva told Torres “You score one goal, Blowjob, Two goals, I swallow, 3 goals, you get to fuck me through the hole I also piss with”.

Sadly Torres declined “No thanks, Rafa is the only man in my life”.

Gem from the Welbz interview:

His football ability caught the eye from a young age, although it is interesting to learn that Manchester City allowed him to slip through their fingers. “I was trialling with City at the age of eight,” says Welbeck. “But just before Christmas they told my dad: ‘He’s not good enough.’

HAHA! City you mugs. They’ve let Welbeck AND Sturridge – potentially England’s strike partnership for a long time to come – slip through their fingers!

Still, why pay £0 for a strike pairing when you can pay £60m instead, eh?

Red Nation says:
Kanchelskis –

Park is an outstanding player, that can pick out out a great pass and is lethal in front of goal, how many clear cut chances does he miss when in the box?
Park is the man who scored at Anfield and scored the winner at OT in 2010 if you have forgotten and is does multiple roles attacking and defending.
He is twice the player Young is defending and triple the player Young is attacking wise.
Young is the last player we want anywhere near the 1st team tbh. We was 3-0 down because of him and Evra’s performance on the left. We took him off and viola 3-3.
Young is not yet ready for a game of this magnitude nor does he have the ability or strength for such a physical battle.
Park is one of the 1st on the teamsheet.

February 10, 2012 at 15:43
Utd4life says:
I agree with Red Nation. I too would play Park ahead of Young that is if Nani is not fit. Besides, Park is a BIG game player. And I would start Welbeck ahead of Hernandez. For me, Hernandez is more deadly when used as a sub. His movement is a pain the ass for weary defenders. Bring on Scholes and Cleverley later on to provide more headache for the scousers. But bottom line is- we just have to beat the Scousers no matter what. I’ll be highly disappointed with anything other a win.

Red Nation says:
Utd4life – I agree with your whole statement, Chicharito is a great sub but he deserves to start. Its unfair towards him if he scores every game as a sub and doesn’t get a start. I hope Javier starts.

Kanchelskis-
Park is better than Young in every aspect of a footballers ability. Hell the only winger that takes Park close in our squad is Valencia because he is the complete winger minus a left foot. As you can tell, I don’t rate Young much, he’s decent cover for a injured Nani,Park,Valencia but to start ahead of them is absurd, he’s a Villa-quality player that was bought based on a suggestion that £15m is a bargain. He’s only improved our squad depth in the wingers area.

Park will be key for the match. If Young starts, it sends a positve attacking message but in reality will be a detriment to our performance, the Chelsea and pre-new years match are clear evidence. Why is he burnt out?

Pretty sure Nani’s not fit mate.

@Red Nation

Right – either Ashley Young once nobbed your sister, or Park saved her life. Or something.

Young is faster. He’s more skilful. He’s better at set pieces. He’s a better crosser. He can shoot from range better.

Btw, are you also suggesting that Park is better than Nani? Cos that really does take the piss in a rather big way.

Paul Parker says:
@Jeet – not sure if i need to say but there was nothing personal with my post mate. Im just saying I don’t count foreign football fans with more than one EPL shirt as “glory hunters”. There was a thread on here about people who support two Clubs and it divided opinion. Personally I never have and never would wear any Club shirt but United, but I know people who wear Club shirts based on where their families come from – Scotland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc. Half the time they don’t even follow every game of their “second team”, but because of their reasons for wearing the shirt I wouldn’t call them glory hunters. In the same way, most football fans in Asia, Africa and elsewhere have local teams they follow first and foremost, so I personally don’t really mind them picking a second team from the superior Leagues of Europe, if any thing I respect them for building up their own inferior leagues – as after all the English League was inferior to those on the Continent for yeeeears, just look at the list of European Cup winners. I’d call a glory hunter somebody IN ENGLAND who claims to be a loyal supporter of (for example) Liverpool this season and then claims they are a loyal supporter of Manchester City the following season. Thing is Pal I haven’t come across anybody like that since Primary school thats why I made the point! I don’t actually know anybody I’d call a glory hunter, as all the City and Chelsea fans I know have always supported those clubs heavily (and I’ve always been on their necks about it haha)

@kanshelskis: shit. no Nani? shit.

The reason I’d prefer Park is because I dont underestimate the dippers for a second. Kyut has had some joy against us in recent times, right? Park’s the man. Tactically, Park is way more astute. Way more disciplined. Teams up really well with Giggsy. Insurance for our captain. More composure – knows way better what it means to don the Red shirt on a big match than Young. Wolves last gap goal anyone?

Not a big Young fan, but won’t knock him down either. End of day, both are good and very different players. Just that I feel Park’s better suited for tomorrow.

Glad someone else is with me. He started the season on fire and had stormers v Arsenal and Spurs. I know neither were at full strength, but they were still big games. He also scored a couple of important goals in the CL, but because we were so doomed in that competition, that particular contribution has been pretty much forgotten.

I actually thought he was decent at SB as well, esp for a player coming back after a long lay-off. He forced a good save from Cech, from which anything could’ve happened from the rebound. And he beat his man to get a cross in a number of times. I really hope he silences a few of the cynics among our fans.

Not only that kanchelskis. If Rooney had looked up he could have put him through a few times as he was in acres of space on the left hand side. He picked up a knock a just before the norwich game and missed a few games with a similar injury after that the cit-eh game. He has the right attitude as he’s made it from not being good enough at Watford to Villa and now United. He hasn’t had a silver spoon from being at a PL club since he was 12. For me he probably played through his knock to try and prove himself which would have been commended years ago now.

Some of our fans just need to have a bitch and a moan at some of our players. My theory is anyone who has a squad number with a multiple of 3 gets shit from our fans. That includes Vidic and Fletcher as well because before they lay offs they were getting grief too.

Our ticketing system is more complex than our medical team and that says a lot. I’ll never fully understand it. Sorry to hear you won’t make it Notorious.

Regarding the left side tomorrow, if Nani doesn’t make it, I think it will be Ashley Young. This is a game where we want to dominate and get on top of them. Not rely mainly on work rate. Not underestimating anyone, but we have to put these fuckers through the sword.

As for Giggs, I said this a couple of days after Scholes returned. Don’t be surprised at all if Scholes also extends his contract. Fergie won’t let go of him now that he got him back.
