Following Paul Scholes’ return from retirement and Manchester United’s issues settling in a new number one goalkeeper, Edwin Van der Sar has revealed people have been asking whether he has any plans on doing the same.
“I got a few text messages from friends saying, ‘What about you?’,” Van der Sar said. “I’m quite happy at the moment. There’s no doubt in my mind. I was at Carrington and he was watching a training session and I said, ‘So, how do you like it?’. He said, ‘Not really. I miss it’. He was still there doing his work as an assistant coach with the reserve team so it was probably a little bit easier to get back in.”

Who is CDS?
VDS*
CDS?
Arni,
VDS is Vast Defensive Statue..
I dont think VDS will make a comeback..
Reminder of Tuesday Fact of the Day: Torres has now played over1000 minutes without scoring.The last Chelsea player to do this was Petr Cech.
Ah Edwin. I do miss him at times. Not a knock against David and Anders, but VDS knew how to cope with an injury crisis in defence and the prospect of playing with a different back 4 each game. Not a coincidence that we are headed for our worst defensive record in 10 years the season after he retired.
Great guy and incredible talent! Don’t think he will ever come off retirement though
Sandeep… haha
@Costas – spot on mate, he was the foundation recent seasons have been built on. For example, he always saw us safely through the group stages of Europe. Still, I’ve no doubt this next batch will tighten up results in the years to come.
Hey Paul Parker, how are you? I agree. Our 2 regular goalies are showing a lot of promise. For that matter, so does Amos recently, especially if you remember how green he was last year. It’s just sad that this transition is taking place at a time when we are also going through a transition in defence. Ideally, it would have been much easier if it happened when Rio and Vida were at the top of their game.
*so did Amos recently*
@ sandeep : for more torres joke look in the stats thread.
Vds returning would certainly be a knock for de gea and lindy.. Amos coming on good too.. Whyy not have vds as a goalie coach instead. He’d certainly weed out these glitches in de gea’s game..
Torres is soon becoming the next heskey. Only remaining competition is andy carrol..
Hilarious stat on Torres. Poor guy that, what a fall from grace. Not that we wish it upon him, especially when Sir Alex admitted being genuinely interested and tried bringing him in a few times. If only what he is going through now is bestowed to a certain Suarez, that would make everyone happy. If there is anyone Torres wants to blame, it should be Rafa Benitez, who screwed his form by constantly substituting him when he is on fire, talk about killing someone a slow death!

hello red devil friends
anyone know about teh reserve game against the chavs last night? did cleverly play? thx
Torres couldn’t hit a barn door at the moment. Think De Gea deserves credit for his performance though. All we need is to give him a consistent run of games and he’ll get a load more confidence. Fergie just needs to decide on De Gea or Lindegaard for the rest of the season and stick with his decision. Then this talk of VDS making a return will be forgotten. We need to move on – although I more than happy to see Scholesy back, even the idea of VDS returning should be unthinkable. All the United fans looking into the past and reminicing about Schmeichel or VDS need to forget about them – otherwise we’re just as culpable of making comparisons with our new keepers and these past United legends as the media are. Give De Gea a chance to shine, and he won’t let us down!
Nothing but praise for Edwin and the way he has conducted himself. He wanted to retire a couple of years prior because of his wife’s illness. Recall he missed a string of games in 2009 following here collapse. He had been talking about retiring since then to take better care of the family. He came back for the ’10-’11 season because of Fergie. From what I have seen, he has never equivocated on his desire to spend time with the family and not return to a role in football until the kids are grown and the wife’s health is sorted.
In my view, Edwin is a champion on an off the pitch and has earned his retirement.
One can only feel that this coverage of Edwin is meat and potatoes to the press, mostly to add increased pressure to Davide. I hope Davide can continue to build on the strong performance at the bridge and go from strength to strength.
Any links to the reserves highlights? Did Cleverely come back?
If he does, i promise i’m gonna cry. Not cos i’m not confident with DDG or Lindergaard or Amos, but solely because i love the man VDS a whole lot.
The reserves game was cancelled. I guess clev will play vs cesspoool.
People need to relax this mocking of torres and the comparison with heskey is laughable. I can’t stand chelsea but in torres lies a talent waiting to unravel, i think he made the wrong choices in terms of picking teams. If he had picked united from the start then Fergie would have improved him further.
His confidence is shattered but with the right manager, he can get better. I never have tinted glasses on and when i see talent, i commend it.
Torres is far more talented than heskey will ever be, probably not worth 50 million though.
And as for edwin, it would be fantastic for him to return. In his time at united, despite the media banging on about julio cesar, casillas and buffon, i felt van der sar was the best goal-keeper in european football but on the other hand, i feel his return would be a debacle to progress. It wouldn’t help de gea at all in terms of being the long term first choice. Edwin should just join the club as a goal-keeping coach and pass on his experience.
Edwin Van Der Sar – Top keeper. Top man. Really miss the bloke. Such a calming influence.
Would rather see De Gea or Amos get a game.
I’d prefer Pogba or Cleverley to get into the team than Giggs or Scholes too.
These young lads all just need experience.
Quick question, what are the best RoM-like sites for other clubs that some of you visit?
Jonny – Ha. Red and White Kop Blog for the vermin and Bluemoon are comedy gold.
Are those sites that are so bad they are good?
I’m more interested in quality sites.
It seems the logical answer would have been to play Tom c and the new keepers alongside scholes and king eddy for at least a season. I am sure there are valid reasons why not. De gea , I believe will grow into an amazing keeper .
Regarding Torres, I’ve never seen such a rapid decline, except due to age or injuries.
Head on a stick Peter Crouch has scored more than Torres and Carroll combined this season for 12th placed Stoke.
I don’t see it as a decline, more of a serious lack of confidence, maybe even more psychological now to the point he’s prepared to assists than do his job which is to score. With a manager like Fergie then i can see a resurgence.
His style doesn’t suit chelsea anyway but despite everything i’ve said, i don’t want him recovering from his slump to aid chelsea.
I don’t want to say anything about carroll until after the pool match and hopefully we’ve played well lol. We all know they’ll up their game and we’ll have to play extremely well.
I don’t see it as bad form. He hasn’t performed well for 2/3 years now.
He doesn’t have the same pace he used to. Walcott will also go downhill if/when he slows down with age, although this Oxlade chap does look extremely promising.
Fair play to Southampton and their youth development.
Couple things have happened to Torres.
Firstly, his injuries have meant he’s lost that blistering pace. Same thing happened to Owen by the age of 26/27. DIfference was, Owen adapted his game, Torres hasn’t.
Which brings me onto my next point, something Samuel touched upon….Chelsea just doesn’t seem to suit him with their style of play.
As for us on Saturday….how long has Cleverley been in full training for? If its more than 10 days, then I would actually start him. Play him alongside Carrick and Scholes, and watch us dominate the ball. He’ll give us that dynamism pushing forward as well. Don’t expect him to last the full 90, but surely he can do a job for an hour.
VDS, what a bloke, always warmed up to him. Great keeper and quality human being.
King Eric
Evening my good friend, hope all is well with you and your loved ones. Bet you cannot wait for Saturday eh? Not for the game of course but a chance to have a chat with me! ha ha
@Sparkz
3-man midfield you think?
Personally I’d really like to see Rooney and Welbeck develop a partnership. They linked up really nicely at points against Chelsea. Was like Yorke and Cole.
But maybe you’re right for a big game like this – 3 in the middle may be the way to go.
How about 3 in the middle and 3 up front? Liverpool aren’t exactly a threat in the wide department.
Welbeck Hernandez Rooney
Carrick Cleverley Scholes
Evra Ferdinand Evans Valencia
De Gea
I’m not saying it’s bad form or not. all i’m saying is, a player with such talent just doesn’t wither away without some psychological issue going on. I personally think he has been mismanaged by incompetent managers in terms of not being given time to fully recover from major injuries and has also made wrong choices in terms of clubs, he should have joined united when Fergie showed interest.
Anyone that watched him at athletico could see the talent and he still shows flashes of it at chelsea, although not consistently these days.
Perhaps he’s been over-hyped and is a flash in the pan after his two seasons with the pool and he certainly isn’t worth 50 million big bucks but i can’t help but feel it’s more a psychological thing due to all the injuries and playing at the wrong clubs than a decline. Maybe i’m wrong but that’s what i see.
Yepp, Liverpool is a game where I feel we need to start with the 3 in there. We don’t often do that, but it worked pretty well at Anfield a couple of weeks back. Dominated possession and territory, just lacked a bit of penetration….but Rooney, Nani and Cleverley didn’t play in that match, if they play on Saturday they can do that.
If we need a goal, then we can bring on the other strikers. Speaking of the bench though – with players coming back to fitness, there could be some big players missing out on even making the subs over the next few weeks. If Cleverley and Nani return on Saturday, 2 players from last weekend will have to drop out (providing there’s no more injuries of course!)
@Jonny, I’d take Valencia and Nani in the wide positions rather than playing strikers out of position tbh mate.
Valencia will not play at RB on Saturday, he will be used to bombard down the wing. Rafa or Smalling (if fit) will fill that slot.
I know we’ve had this discussion already but…..
Edwin is probably the best keeper we’ve ever had, I rate him more than Schemeichel.
Evening Reds,
Jonny,
no dig, but we cant start Valencia as a right back..may be he can be pushed to RB when we are down by 2 or 3 goals and introduce a 3rd striker..
in such form, the best winger on form in the league, he will be efficient and optimum as winger..IMO.
I would go with this team,
De Gea,
Rafael Rio Evan/Jonesy Evra
Valencia Carrick Scholesy Giggsy
_____Rooney
_________Danny
####
I cant imagine Danny, Giggsy, Scholesy not starting this game…nope
Hello King Eric and Zibster..
getting on with Rooney again..
Stat:
9 goals out 15 from Rooney this season have come against top table and rival teams like city,spurs,arsenal,chelsea. #big match player.
### and i liked the confidence with which he hit the 1st penalty against Chlesea..that was filled with Venom..previous 2 penalties missed had nothing in his mind, just goes on to show that he is by far the most mentally strong player in our team..
Hello Cedars,
this stat for you,
On this day in 1970 George Best scored 6 goals as Man United won 8-2 over Northampton Town.
Papii
That has always been a tough one to call, my vote would go for the Great Dane…. The amount of goals we scored on the counter from his hand distribution was immense. Such a pity we did not sign VDS in 2001 !
Sandeep
I doubt that both Scholes and Giggs will start, one of them may be. If Jones is fit I can see him playing in midfield and not at the back
Sandeep
Thanks for that stat pal, you know the way to my heart!
Samuel,
Yup i do agree with your view on Torres…you said it pretty close to perfection…
tweets:
@tomclevz23
Training done for the day, my team were on fire today..
and guess what reply was given by Zeki..
@efryers
Only cus your team had Scholesy ha ha ha @ tomclevz23
Good banter this
Cedars,
welcome my friend
yup its hard to start the game with both the legends…
But i have a feeling this game needs more experience and that extra blood to face Pools..
Agree with you one of them starting but i wouldnt be surprised if both start!! and i hope so
.
I m really happy with our ball possession in the last 3 league games..that oozes confidence in the team..
and its time we hit more that 3 against the scouse,,,hope we get a big score..
Cedars –
I loved the Dane too, but Edwin was like the saviour we all dreamed of since Schmikey left.
He was all we needed and gave so much to our history, 4 premier leagues and 1 CL. Wowzer thats incredible looking back. Edwin was our 3rd Centre back, remember his tackle on Anelka last year.
I love Edwin The Flying Dutchman – Those saves from That Torres header and Micah Richards will always be in my heart, he is a good man…a great superman too
I Reckon De Gea will be our new modern day Peter Schmeichel, he’s got the distribution, same height, will have the same build in a few months time aswell.
The problem with De Gea is he’s learning stuff which are instinctive to regular premier league keepers but remains to be a excellent shot stopper because thats instinctive for him.
With age the boy will grow, he’s like any other lad, if you don’t give him games how can you expect him to improve….it doesn’t happen overnight. Im telling you De Gea is going to be great for us.
Sandeep
If both do start than that would mean we will be playing 4-3-3 or 4-5-1…. At home against an average team I can only see us playing with 2 up top. Carrick with Scholes or Giggs in the center for me
Anyone seen that pool twat giving wayne abuse on Twitter? after reading every single words he tweeted, you can see why the size of the brain of a liverpool fan is comparable to pigeon’s Shit. You can see other simple minded pool fans agreeing as wel, fucking illiterates.
Papii
No arguing that VDS was the savior we dreamed of since Shmikes left….. Bloody hell, if we were to draw up some the top class saves both men made we could write a book!
Pappi..
Hello mate, how are u? long time..
Yeah i agree as the days pass by, De Gea will be the super star..
He has already won us games…critical ones and crucial saves…
His distribution is truly world class..yup he needs to put on some weight to defend the busy, robust, powerful and hard corners and box balls…
and lets accept that without Vidic we arent the same team when it comes to aerial battle..
and a keeper like De Gea needs a defender with aerial superiority to cover him..
He will be very good because IMO he is the best reflex saves keeper at the moment…
The lad has skills, talent and confidence but it will be a journey of up and down until he becomes the solid one..
and i will say it again, the shots we have allowed on him is ridiculous this season..thats not how the UNITED defense works out..
some other things need to be addressed in defense in order to accommodate De Gea and i firmly believe that it will happen..
on that note,
Good night red devils…

BREAKING: FIFA contributed $250K to victims of the tragedy in PortSaid Egypt. To a charity set up by team #AlAhly
http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/socialresponsibility/news/newsid=1580578/index.html
Nice gesture, but $3378 per head seems a bit cheep/crass.
Anyone know if this Charity is legit and whether fans can/should contribute.
Heard that a couple bobbies lost their lives as well.
samuel – apparently his style doesn’t suit Spain either then, my opinions (yeah we all know what that’s worth) from watching him over the past few years was that his main threat was his burst, he had that in spades. After the injuries he no longer does and as highlighted during his no shot 1 on 1 with Evans at 3-2 on Sunday he needs it, if he’d have had that extra step he would have had more than enough space (he really did anyway but) to get a clean shot away. He’s not a bad as Carroll who’s a slow, no talent Crouch with a ponytail but he really doesn’t have near the ability he did a couple of years ago when he could beat anyone.
Good evening fellow Reds. Sorry to be off topic but hoping someone can help as can’t find on net. I’m looking to hire a box pre/early next season for stag do. The official site only offers season hire. Any help would be gratefully received.
We’ve got Van De gea?
Ddg
Raf rio Evans Paddy
Valencia Carrick Giggs Nani
Roo Hernandez
Coming dis season? CDS!
Willie
Me old Irish chum……. For obvious reasons I do not read the English press when it comes to football…
Was there any mention of the 2 world class saves DDG pulled off towards the end at the Bridge?
Cedars – They are the Dutch & Danish delights of United’s Goalkeeping history.
I hope we buy decent spainard, the spanish have some mighty good youth coming through at the moment, they’ll dominate for years ahead.
Sandeep – Im good buddy, how about you.
I agree with you Vida is enormous presence, the best in the world, De Gea needs a defence to settle.
Good to see fellow reds as excited as I am about De Gea, the mistakes are like little pinches to me, its equivalent to any mistake the other lads make.
No offence to you mate, but I got a pal called Sandeep & we take the piss and call him “Samdeep”…”BallsDeep” and “Badeep”.
BallsDeep? Hahahaha Funny as fuck
Cedars – That makes 2 of us lol. I stopped buying the red tops years ago. Craig Burley of Espn, said De gea’s save from Mata’s free kick was a bread and butter save. Isn’t his claim to fame setting up Becks for our winner in the FA cup semi final at Villa park? Also remember he had no teeth in those days. Thinks he’s the Andy gray of punditry. More like Jamie Redflap!
Shh…. The RoM posters are having their early evening nap. The ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign is out…
zzzzzzzz
Willie
Do you mean Jamie pissflap as he is a right cunt
Mikyg
Go to asda mate you don’t have to hire a box they just give them away for free saves on disposing of packaging.:-)
On a serious note mate your best bet is to the ticket office a ring 01618688000.
Willie
I get Craig on PLTV at times, never really minded him although he comes across as a snide cunt! Who did he play for again? That would explain the bitterness
Burley played for Chelsea
Giggs12
Hence my comment on his bitterness towards DDG pal!
Coming to the Theater of Dreams this Saturday are no other than RoM’s King Eric, James, Mike and Giggs12….. Sole purpose besides screaming their lungs out for the cause will be giving the dippers and a certain racist a day they will never forget……
Get stuck in lads, I will be with you albeit in spirit
Cedars
You know it mate we will buy you a pint and rest it on top of your flag
Hi giggs12 that was my first thought but apparently they only do it for the whole season. I’ll keep looking. Thank you anyway
Ballsdeep
Only just saw your post on clev and fryers that is absolutely fucking fucking class. Who said Scholes was able to come back and play. That spoilt lost kid Morrison should have been like these two. Quality.
Mikyg
Yeah money grabbing cunts mate. What you can do this is go corporate for a day not a box but free booze and slap up meal.
I can hernandez playing for the rest of the season now, he looked elecrtric on sunday and he’ll score against anyone.
Plus sir alex said he should of played him from the start, plus welbeck needs a rest, and…. he’ll score against liverpool, that fish face cunt skertal will only be able to hack him like he does all players.
Our record is also really good against the top six apart from city result we havn’t lost yet.
I dont wanna curse it but i think we’ll tske them apart on saturday with the right players and formation.

Breaking news: IFFHS Keeper of the 21st Century:

2 Cassillas
3 Cech

Mate completely agree Fergie all but said Hernandez will start the next game. His movement on the box is ridiculous.
hello lads
edwin is the best gk in football history despite he don t win world cup
i think he is a class above the likes of boffon iker cech valdes or even dino zoff
great dane is the joint best gk in football history
agree about chicharito his goal scoring instenct could win us the league
any news of smaling?
fletch the man
do you think cleverly should start against racistpool?
Thanks again Giggs. Free (well prepaid) beer sounds a plan. I’ll give the club a call to find out limit on amount of tickets.
Team for the scumpool match; Im 105% sure of this line up.
DDG
Rafael Rio Evans Evra
Valencia Scholes Carrick Park
Rooney Hernandez
Subs;
Amos, Smalling, Fabio,Giggs Young,Welbeck & Nani or Pogba.
Pool could play;
Reina
Jonson Agger Squirtle Enrique
Adam Gerrard Henderson
Kuyt Suarez Downing
Subs; Doni, Carragher,Kelly, Aurelio, Spearing, Bellamy, Carol.
Bit early to be predicting line up I know because Cleverley & Nani news has been hushed up, is it a sign they are ready to shock everyone or is it just their still not match fit?
My pool for the team game? Steve Davis and Jimmy White.
Evening all
What’ve I missed?
As much as I want him to come back, the guy has earned his break. He was a savior and a warrior for us. Apart from being a great, world class goalie, he is such a great and humble human being. Thank you for all the memories. Love ya VDS.
Hello guys, anyone on?
Love VDS but greatest at united was Scmeichal. Not much in it and both rank in all the time greats bit just think the great Dane edges it.
I am still not sure about starting Cleverley against L’pool. We could have got a much better idea of his match fitness if he had played in the reserves match but unfortunately it was cancelled. However, if Sir Alex deems him fit and fine then he might just start him.
Hi Everyone Do you think United will beat the crap out on Liverpool on Saturday
Team for L’pool would be:
De Gea
Rafael Smalling Evans Evra
Valencia Scholes Carrick Nani
Welbeck Rooney
With Giggs and Hernandez coming on as subs.
Cleverley on Saturday? Is he even match fit? He hasn’t played for years! I think he’d be brilliant though, got great faith in the guy, what with King Eric bigging him up every day of the week when he was on loan at Watford and Wigan. Love what he does to our passing, and his movement is brilliant.
Shit hair though.
How about we play de gea in midfield;his distribution is pretty spot on.lol. VDS as first choice, anders second
Booch
Hell yeah!!!! And then some!! Cunting twatting dipper fuckers!!
theboogeyman.. Cleverley was the catalyst for those jaw dropping performances at the start of the season. We have missed him a LOT. Having him back for the run in will be a HUGE boost for the team. The way the lad moves into space after a pass and the way he ghosts into the box is eerily similar to Scholes. I think I have said this a hundred times but I just can’t wait for the Scholes-Cleverley combo. Watching the Master and the Protege at work will be a sight for sore eyes.
Utd4life- I agree that would be brilliant, but who the hell would defend? lol
What has happened to Anderson, btw? Anyone know?
Theboogeyman
I’m not physio or medically trained but my assessment would be he is fat and shit.
theboogeyman. LOL. I forgot to mention that we need Carrick playing as the sweeper for the Cleverley and Scholes play further up the pitch. Regarding Anderson, SAF did say that he was supposed to be fit this week but I’m not exactly sure.
Speaking about his future at United, Berbatov : “There was nothing concrete as an offer to me. I read about such things, but they are more speculation. I do not know how long I will stay at Manchester United.
“To my knowledge, the clause to extend my contract for another year is automatically activated in March. I know nothing more.”
United 5 Liverpool 0…….mark my fucking words!
Berba silky as ever even when he’s complaining.
@Mikekelly
Have some faith will ya!
mike
hope so
maybe the small racist cunt get sent off
scrap that team bring on;
Anderson, Kleberson, Cruyff, Forlan, Silvestre, Roy Carrol
&
the one and only King Eric Djemba Djembe
do you think evra will shake hands with the small racist cunt??
Costas
I try
i am watching ath bilbao game they have some intersting player
the most impressive player is Muniain
javi martinez also looked good
i think martinez or javi garcia of benfica would be great addition to our cm, and also will help de gea a lot having local lad alongside him
I think Paddy should shake hands with the racist but in a way that represents he is the bigger man despite Suarez & Liverpool’s lack of class towards him.
Patrice has nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Its Suarez who should feel awkward and unconfortable being plus he should be the one who should be getting death threats and boo’d all around England.
I hope Paddy Does this to Suarez: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9usG8aA4yog&feature=youtu.be
Anything less and Paddy needs to get his priorities in order. (Please check out the video link.)
He should shake his hand as long as Suarez is willing to offer him a direct apology even if its in private, otherwise ignore him.
Cedars. Evening my friend. Yep will have a word. On James’s phone bill of course! Hope you are well.
Fletch. Hello mate. Casillas? God how on earth is he in front on Edwin? Good keeper but over rated imo. Massively over rated. Just like Valdez.
Clint. Hey up you headcase! I agree. Edwin for me just shades it. Especially in the modern game. Need good feet now and he was like a third centre back as someone said. Back in Petes day we could counter more as teams didn’t park the bus so one huge throw out and we would score. Loved Pete but Edwin was more suited to the modern game. A top geezer too.
Boogeyman. Now then pal. Ha. Shit hair though! You metro sexual. Nowt wrong with that my friend.
Just heard fifteen min interview with Micky Phelan and for those morons who slate him he has much more of an input than you think. Offered a great insight into being fergies assistant.
Talking of Clevz just seen footage of training and he is looking sharp. Never mind his barnet I think he has a big head and little body! Gonna be a star though.
Seems Durham on talkshit reads this blog and my post on “scotty“ parker. Said it annoys him. Its fucking Scott. Allegedly there is a campaign for him to be Ingerlund captain. Good god. Put yourself about a bit despite having NO passing range or technical ability whatsoever and you are Captain of country material. Gotta laugh at Ingerlund in particular some of the other candidates. Barry? Fuck me. Some idiotic cunts even said Parker could play for any team in Europe. You could not make this up. Don’t get me wrong as a bloke Parker seems a good lad but if he was THAT good how come only Spurs and Stoke wanted him? A very limited player. Darren fat dancer Gough was waxing about Busquets. Saying what a player and has seen him play right back,left back, right and left wing for Barca. Funny that Daz because I fucking haven’t. This from the man who two year ago said Arshavin was better than Messi. I kid you not. What a fucking idiot. The funny thing is Ingerlund could have done with Carrick but oh no he aint a blood and thunder player. The fact he is composed, can control pace of a game and has a great football brain accounts for fuck all. These media mugs are just thick cunts.
Ey Yoo, King Eric in the cyber building.
Finally someone that agrees with me about Edwin.
I like “Scotty” Parker but he’s your typical labourer. A midfield of him and Carrick would be a decent combo.
I too rate Sergio Biscuits very highly.He’s crap everywhere but at midfield, he is an absolute genius mate. Just like Carrick he has great movement and great awareness of his surroundings. Biscuits is a lot of bad things but not a bad footballer. When Carrick retires in 4-5 years, Busquets would be a suitable like for like replacement, the cunt can also pick a pass which is nice.
Nuff bout that slimy git now eh! Sure, hate the knob too.
Arshavin is better than Messi imo, he can play Stoke,Blackburn, Bolton doubt Messi will even turn up.
I said Park, no one sells shirts in Asia like he does.
I actually said “Will Messi chase cunts around & play good for 270 mins?” No Would Rooney? “Perhaps, but would probably get done by the FA for Hardwork”
So Parks the lad you want ! He’s like a Dog on Viagra chasing a cat with a bone between the buttcheeks.
@Iced RE Cleverely: I would love to see him come back if fit, but prefer to take it really really slow. To many injuries get made worse by bringing lads back to quick. Alan Smith, Hargo, Fletcher, Giggs(years ago).
I wouldn’t mind seeing him get a run out with the reserves like we did for Gibbo a few months ago. I think there is a reserves game Thursday. Maybe then we will get a look. Agree?
KingEric, Feel your pain mate. How Cech rates above EVS and even Oli Kahn is a mystery that we will have to take to our graves.
Edwin was very good, but big Pete was something else. No one better in my life time. God knows how points he saved United.
Pappi and cedars,
ballsdeep eh?
Lol,
No offence mates, dont worry
Giggs12- Haha good one. I still have a little bit of faith in Anderson, he’s yet to properly prove me right. Another one with shocking hair!
Utd4life- But then we only have 1 up front, and I prefer we have Danny and Rooney.
King Eric- Have you seen his head? It’s a mess! And yeah, most girls I know think I’m metro sexual, it isn’t a big deal lol. Darren Gough. He was a cricketer, wasn’t he? What the fuck does he know about football? He was shit at cricket too.
I wish he would consider instead joining the training staff, and help in strengthening the career of the likes of DDG and Amos at the club
King Eric
Morning my good friend….. The call will actually be my treat! I am so envious pal, what I would have given just to be there for the day and this match in particular. Anyway, I hope you fellas have a good one coupled with a home win.
Really great to see the RoM posse growing
“It was a really good save obviously,” enthused Ben Amos to manutd.com. “That’s De Gea’s strength in my eyes. He’s light and quick and maybe he knows Mata from the Spain Under-21 days because if you look closely, David takes a couple of steps that way before Mata hits the ball so maybe he’s seen that before and anticipated it. It was a brave move but it paid dividends.”
“People often think that if you go with the top hand it’s the wrong one but you can get a couple more inches if you turn your whole body. It looks a bit awkward but you can actually get a little bit extra reach, believe it or not.”
On another ex-player, O’Shea after his eight straight games in the centre of defense:
“He is doing very, very well,” said O’Neill. “Of course we are going to concede goals but we’ve done very well in that aspect recently (Sunderland have conceded just three since O’Shea began his run of games in the centre).”
“He and Wes Brown have been really terrific. They’ve tried to help the younger players, maybe it’s because of their upbringing. O’Shea’s whole demeanour around the place has been very helpful indeed. I’m delighted he’s started to play the way he did for Manchester United. John has done very well at centre-half, but I’m not sure what the answer would be if I asked him what position he prefers. At this moment needs must.”
O’Shea’s situation was further complicated because his wife Yvonne gave birth to their first child in July, and he appears to have become something of a father figure at work as well as home.
“His willingness to help the younger lads is very important, they can approach him,” O’Neill noted. “There are no airs and graces about him. He’s been very helpful in the dressing room.”
