Rio Ferdinand was booed throughout United’s 3-3 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge yesterday. Whilst Rio has never been a popular player with Chelsea fans, given his West Ham and Leeds history, as well as the issues over the England captaincy, it was clear that Rio was singled out for special abuse yesterday thanks to [...]
John Terry has today been stripped of the England captaincy for a second time following allegations of racism. Terry allegedly called Anton Ferdinand a “black cunt” in Chelsea’s defeat against QPR. In last weekend’s Cup game between the two clubs the FA scrapped the traditional handshake ahead of kick-off after it became apparent that the [...]
For this weekend’s game, Nike have made special boots for Rio Ferdinand, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wojciech Szczęsny as part of their #makeitcount campaign.

szólj hozzá: Ma1-1Ne[Matchhighlight.com] Rio Ferdinand put in a brilliant challenge on Ben Arfa in the box only for the linesman John Flynn to flag for a penalty. Mike Jones, who was filling in for Phil Dowd, had initially rightly indicated that a corner should be awarded, before a discussion with Flynn saw him award a [...]
Having been dropped for United’s game against Everton at the weekend, Sir Alex Ferguson has suggested that Rio Ferdinand is no longer first choice for us. Nemanja Vidic obviously has a place, whilst Rio will compete with Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones for the other spot in the centre of defence. Jones and [...]
Back in April 2005, who would have one day predicted we would be talking about Rio Ferdinand playing in his tenth season at Manchester United. Less than three years after joining the club, the then 26-year-old defender was spotted in restaurants with Chelsea chief executive, Peter Kenyon, on two occasions that month. Both the player [...]
Rio Ferdinand’s ban for failing to show up for a drugs test has rightly been a frustration to Manchester United fans, given that Manchester City’s Christian Negouai also failed to attend a drugs test in 2003 and received no ban. Channel 4′s Dispatches has today shown we have even more reasons to feel aggrieved, with [...]
It’s easy for football fans to get carried away when their team or individual players are doing well. It’s just as easy for fans to lose all faith as soon as a rough patch comes along, forgetting all the superfluous praise being heaped on a week or two before after a fancy bit of football [...]
“Nemanja, wooah, Nemanja, wooah, he comes from Serbia, he’ll fucking murder ya!” is the song you’ll hear loudly whenever Vidic goes in hard on a player. Vidic seems to play without fear and will put his head, body (or arm) in the way of anything to protect the goal. Speaking with CNN World Sport, Vidic [...]
Rio Ferdinand has today claimed that he has no intention of losing his starting place in the team to new signings Chris Smalling and Phil Jones.

Last week, RoM readers were given the opportunity to think of questions to be asked by Manchester United players whilst on tour in the States, thanks to KCKRS. KCKRS: Everyone remembers the grey kits of 95/96, which only lasted a few games. How important is color of the kit to the run of play? Rio: [...]

Rio Ferdinand has today revealed that when he first joined Manchester United in 2002, he was keen to get his name in to our history books.

Rio Ferdinand was in court today to give evidence against his stalker, Susanne Ibru.
