Manchester United beat Manchester City in injury time on three occasions last season, which ultimately denied the blues their place in the Champions League, as well as propelling United to their League Cup final win.
Eric Cantona has today mocked City and fancies United’s chances to win the league this season.
“If City play a game against United for 89 minutes, maybe they’ll have a chance!” Cantona joked. “But I think United have a team that is experienced and they have young players also – they still work on young players. Chelsea don’t look so good, Liverpool seem to have problems. Arsenal? Maybe.”

get in King Eric
Anybody have any idea how to get to meet Eric ?
Most of my mates have met him at this stage, Maybe some day …
Anybody know if he has any new books, movies.. ect coming out ?
He owned then as a player and he is doing the same as a King.
The King has said his words.
I just hope he can elaborate on the “Chelsea don’t look so good”..
Eric, stop winding the bitters up, you know they can’t take a joke.
Jesus
@cantona7
Its probably something to do with saying goodbye to Deco, Ballack, JCole, Belletti. Terry in a world of his own and Malouda out playing his ability (next year back down with a bump) You can’t say good buy to so many internationals that play regularly and not be affected.
Does anyone know how many times in total King Eric scored against shitty?
Whats the time for the celtic game?

Liverpool have signed loic remy for a fee arnd 13 m euros
Carvalho is rumoured to be the next exit for Chelsea after being pictured in Milan, replacement for Lucio after he goes to Real?
God Bless, Paul Wayne and Micheal our last minute or extra time winners, my favourite was Pauls, IT was just fantastic followed bye the Lippy kiss bye Gary on Paul. Classic.
Cantona quote.”whatever happens there are always things you could have done better.
You score two goals you usually feel you could have done better.
You score two goals you usually feel you could have scored a third.
That’s perfectionism.
Thats what makes you progress in life.”
King.
He did make his debut for United against City so i suppose it holds a special place in his heart.
And he is a wind up merchant. When the Seagulls follow the Trawler. lol
Canna wait for the Game tonight. Its gonna be fantastic to see the young lads, hoping to see Chris Smalling in a United kit and see how good he is.
Good luck Hip Hip Hoorah(For Giles lol) Cmon United.
True Legend, and his brutal truth!
Last year Chelsea’s title is a joke 86 points make them champions and thinking they are that good, give me a break!! This year will be huge pressure on them to perform well in Europe last year they didn’t have that! Combination of More pressure and Big lousy mouths and back stabbing thugs will be stirring things worse . So.. I won’t lose any sleep on it!
City, just copy cut of Chelsea, just blip of flame from cash! Won’t last long! They don’t have true leader who has the passions of their club..Obviously they don’t care coz here for money!
Arsenal, they’ll trick and fall by their own legs! Typical!
L’pool, eh..Micky Mouse Team, I think left over Spaniards will destroy them off completely!
Happy days ahead! Bring it on!!!
@Red Devil 19
8 times in 7 games.
@Costas can you tell us the times in the 7 matches? lol
ha ha, well said as usual monsieur.
I wonder why he thinks arsenal may be.
hello everyone – good summer? myself – entered wedlock
Does anyone have a stream link where the united game is shown?
@Gandalf its exclusive i believe to MUTV. Only.
Congrats on your Wedlock.
I assume its day time were ever you are, or what the hell are you doing up at night time!
Just married . lol
@RedScot
I am not that much of a freak, lol. I was looking for a stream right now. Hopefully someone will find a way to stream it from a MUTV.
@Costas, I know you are not a freak or a Anorak, its just me having a wee pop a laugh a tease.
You wont find a Stream, Malcolm is blocking all signals Personally. ( Joking)
Just waiting to enjoy the match, I would do a running commentary but it will get slurred as the match develops. lmao
Justin.tv is usually quite reliable for live streams of the games
@RedScot
And as the beer flows I may add, lol. We will see. I will try looking again once it kicks off. Staying up late to watch Smalling’s first game. That’s passion.
@Costas I beg your pardon beer, how crass, Moonshine mate …. lol
Well its Friday night am all dressed up in “Red” lol Bruce Springsteen song. lol
I just want to see United I got bored talking about the World cup.
The match is on myp2p.
whats myp2p willierednut?
@Evening Willie, hope your well, you have been quiet on the blog……busy?
I did see your dig at the poking the fire and Clock, i laughed, typical Willie.
She aint as nice as Ms Queen, plus she has a Welsh accent. lmao
Team news anyone?
@ Goat its probably a connection to his Bank account, you gotta watch the Irish! lol
@costas
staying up late.surely not as late as me.3:35 here now.thats passion
Aig – 3 35 am is normal for me that is way too early too go to bed for me at times LOL, even though I am sick has a dog, fucking hate having a summer cold
@ AIG, not yet mate, I see you were on the Dark side, you met up with the Nobhead and saw how he shouts down all the boys posts.
You are better here at least you will get your point across and some lads will say you are right.
He will never let you prove a point. Stick with this blog AIG, many lads like your knowledgable posts , i know this and its a fact!
@ Aig
my hats off to you mate, well played.
Where the hell are you lol
Obviously some people dont read…… or incapable of taking in information India
@AIG
You are still up? I take my hat off to you then. You surpassed me. I hope I’ll be able to watch it. The yawning has began already.
Type myp2peu into google, it should come up. I’m sure someone will post a link anyways.
@ RedScot I’m working atm mate, still keeping up with all the comments though.
That new girl on MUTV is a Liverpool (spits) fan. Bring back Hayley!!
@ Willie thanks so thats MYP2P, or MYP2PEU. Glad thats clear. lol
@rtnk
I am not used to staying up this late. Thhe night matches here are past midnight but by now. Holiday tomorrow though so its not a problem.
@Redscot
I think he is a decent guy(sure you know who i mean) but sometimes he goes over the top. His concerns are geniune but he is too harsh at times
@Red Devil 19
here here. Wide awake. Nothing better than watching United and having some coke(its your choice)
@Costas
Just kidding mate. by the time the game ends it will be 6:30 in the morning here. Hope i get a streaming link. otherwise it will be very frustrating
As if there was ever any doubt, Fergie confirms that United > England:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jul/16/sir-alex-ferguson-rejected-england
@rtnk
i mean the matches end by 3 or 3:30 at night. Not used to seeing United this late. BTW what do you do??. how can you stay awake till that time??
@AIG
I think the myp2p link by willierednut will work. Otherwise it will be a long night for all of us lol.
Iraq goals is doing the game as well.
Van der Sar; Rafael, Smalling, J.Evans, Fabio; Obertan, Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs; Berbatov, Diouf
@Costas
i hope it does. My net is fast so it shouldnt be a problem
@willie
what work are you doing at midnight?? or do you have a new definition of work
@AIG, He is not decent, I witnessed many times him destroying United players and Sir Alex, in my eyes he is an idiot.
Not a United fan just a freak that likes typing with no substance or facts to back up his vile posts.
He forgets what he types, he is a looney.
If you dont agree with him , he thinks you cant offer nothing.
Anyways he aint worth my ink on the subject. a nothing.
Plus the numptie is Canadian! lmao
Red Scot – So they let you guys watch the match in call centres? How generous
Cheers Jake, Fabio at long last our new defensive backs fingers crossed
@JakeManc
Thanks. Interesting line up. Plenty of young blood there.
I was hoping to see a couple more youngsters in the team tonight
I think we will see a lot of the subs too. In the first friendly game, players usually play 45 minutes max.
@Costas all the players will play, plus my cousin in Toronto
AIG – I’m not working at night mate, just during the day. Decent team the boss has put out, be good to see how Smalling gets on.
@RedScot
Is he any good, lol? Fergie sign him up?
@wilie
oh. ok. You meant to say you are busy with work and hence havent been posting regularly. got confused, thought you meant working now.
@ Costas well he is free, and generally scores a own goal, bit like me.
offer 10 Euros he and I will consider it ! lol
Great to see Smalling, the Brothers Silva, Obertan and Diouf in there – canny wait!
Subs – Brown, Welbeck, O’Shea, Macheda, Gibson, Kuszczak, De Laet, C.Evans, Cleverley.
Hmm, no Nani?
Nani’s injured.
@Jake the Manc, get over it Nani is sitting with me……. I wish.
Nah he is getting his rest 28 days as the big man ordered after elemination from the World cup.
what time is kick-off… o and how can one watch online?? thanks
http://www.justin.tv/vip_wwe_1
The good thing with Nani is that he is on the trip, so it’s not anything too serious. Unless something new happened while the team was in the US.
@redscot – thanks mate. I live in california, so yes afternoon here.
all set, work wrapped up – c’mon united.
Looking forward to seeing the boys have a injury free season, fingers crossed.
That’s a great link for the game
No Swearing now lads we have a princess in our midst.
And a wee mad gaggle of Scots lads.
One Red 8 CELTIC TWATS.
Oh Canada….
Hm, Fletch is captain even though Scholes and Giggs are playing too. Maybe a sign of things to come.
@ Costa Wink! lol you no my predictions right! lol
@RedScot
no need for that. I am a big girl even though I call myself princess hahaha
@Costas, I am very happy for Fletch. I hope he is our next captain.
Cmon United BELIEVE
What a pass Scholes!
@ THE Princess, yikes I have one in her bed. I just love Manchester united more than my hole.
Cmon UNITED
Fabio was meant to be the better player, I think he will be……. Imagine
The media can say anything about Xavi as the pass master, but he ain’t Scholes. Enough said.
Bleedin’ ‘eck! Obbie was quick as frick.
@ Rad shut the fuck up, you type to much sense
Oh Giggs! At least you tried
any other link aprt from justin.tv?
appreciate it so much
RedScot,
Hip Hip Hoorah Cantona!
try veetle.com…
by the way if Obertan somehow develops an end product he can be some player… and Smalling looks very comfortable on the ball…
Well Played Dimatar, superb skills there
Although its just friendly I can see why Sir Alex has so much confident on the youth team
@ Giles Good evening Sir, you know i only laugh and joke around the blog.
I love everyone of your posts just makes me think…. thats Manchester United.
I was only saying I am still here, I will read and continue to read and learn from posters like you.
I am a youngster Glies and very keen on United, no mad on my love
I am Glad you saw my post, and I hope in my heart I see many of your inspirational posts in the future.
I was just joking with the hip horray.
But Cantona was a bit Special
ohhh God Dimatar it it a side wind i think
what a goal by berba
Berbatovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
post it please Scott, I beg you control and hit as Paddy says
Great goal, obertan, diouf and berba were brilliant..
wow Berba 1-0… this is so much more fun watching than any world cup…
Amazing amazing control Berba!
great goal,celtic look poor
Berbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Now that’s what I like to see next season
More of that please
He makes the ridiculous look sublime and vice versa – God bless him with shooting boots will ya : )
Great goal, impressed with Obertan’s speed, Smalling has looked assured on his debut and of course the Silva twins bombing down the wing.
@ MG and all UNITED Fans if you want to see more of that then shout for him. dont knock him when its not going well. No scapegoats
Anyone thinking of going to sleep, just watch Metallicas enter Sandman, exit light enter night!
Good goal Berbs, but bigger tests to come for you, it’s only Celtic ya know.
Another blind ref…
so far so good
Ive got it
The wakawaka tribe must have told Sir Alex that the secret to winning is cutting your hair short – because they all look miles younger : )
I mean just look at Van Der Sar – look at Berba : )
@RedScot
I’ve never knocked him – I’ve always been fair with Berba I think he’s had some unfair stick – I think as fans it’s up to us to get behind a player and help him on
But he has had his moments and thats undeniable
But then which player hasn’t?
loving the speed of the attack in this game, Scholes is magic as usual, think I’ve only seen 1 bad pass from him in 45 mins! It’s great to see Scholes sitting deep spraying the passes around and the rest of the midfield, fullbacks and attack bombing forward.
@ MG Karel Porbosky!
Its just not my way mate, i just love all the players, i think its being called a supporter
How has chris smalling played?
he did okay, wasnt a lot of traffic,haha samaras
trevor – Like a young Rio.
Well offside Samaras
@ Willie
Nice!…
Who went off? It would have been nice for MUTV to show us.
Berbatov is CLASS!
pffffff
1-1
Just as i asked!
Still doesnt make much difference!… Just a bit of experience for the lad! Learn from your mistake!
Caught a little out of position, but what i seen looks ok!
Jaysus thats my might bet gone sky high and Costas will be wetting his Gergioe armani thong
Red Scott, no worries, you made me laugh. I always like your comments, and I’m delighted you enjoy my contributions, as I can tell you’re a genuine Red. There’s no higher praise in my book!
Now why is Cantona doing a sky sports advert with Liverpool coming back 3-0 to win the champions league…
http://www.facebook.com/SkySports#!/video/video.php?v=421661087152&ref=mf
@Giles I dont want to appear like a stalker, because thats not me.Or in fact Girlie.
I do get ridiculously drunk and haver utter nonesense most of the lads know this.
I just have always enjoyed your posts and have always thought that Man knows his Club I mean you Giles
Sometimes I will deliberately try to lighten up the blog if I see infighting, although I have had my share on the Blog and some of the Words I have used to fellow Reds on here in the heat of posting I feel utterly ashamed off, when I read back, I think was that me!
Anyways off to the Pub, we are having a lock in, its so sad the local Bobby is in the Pub.
He might give me a lift up the road later. lmao
