“Older Players Marvel At Rafael’s Ability”

Rafael Da Silva is likely to get the nod to play against Villarreal in United’s Champions League match tonight, with both Gary Neville and Wes Brown not making the journey to Spain.

Neville’s days in the starting lineup are certainly numbered with this young Brazilian looking for a first team place, and no doubt Patrice Evra, who has had a very good season so far, [...]

Like The Sound Of This Da Silva Chant?

One thing that always impresses me about United’s support, despite the flack our fans receive, is the vast songsheet we have. New songs are churned out on a regular basis with a lot of these being sung weekly at our home and away fixtures. It always amazes me when the away fans sing a song [...]

Wes: We’ve Been Here Donkey’s Years…But Rafael Is Good For Club

Against West Brom at the weekend, both Gary Neville and Wes Brown found themselves on the bench, with Rafael Da Silva starting at right back.

Simpson: My Experience Will Win Me Rafael’s Spot In The Team

Danny Simpson is starting to panic after watching Rafael Da Silva in action, and rightly so.

Fergie: We Finally Have A Class Of 96 Repeat

There are several phrases that get brought up time and again in football. “They think it’s all… it is now” is the most famous of these, whilst “…and Solskjaer has won it!” means the most to United fans.

What’s Wes Done To Upset Fergie?

Wes Brown’s performance against Liverpool wasn’t any worse or better than his team mates, although unfortunately had an own goal to his name after an Edwin Van der Sar mistake. Yet for some reason, Brown has been entirely overlooked since this match. I understand why the manager would want to give Gary Neville as much [...]

Although not looking in great deal of pain, carrying an embarrassed look as he sat upright when carried off the pitch, our fans of course feared the worst.

Da Silva Twins

Rafael and Fabio Da Silva stand to have good careers at United, with the Brazilian full-backs impressing despite their limited playing time with the club.

Chants: The Brazilian Nevilles

With the season starting today, at RoM we decided to see if we could get some new chants going at OT, whether they’re brand new stupid ones created on here, or chants doing the rounds in the pubs but not making it in to full voice at the ground. The first subject for chants is [...]
