The Champions League final. With six minutes remaining in extra time before the penalty shoot out, Carlos Tevez kicked the ball out of play, to return possession to Chelsea. Just before, Joe Cole went down ‘injured’ with Chelsea playing the ball in to touch. From the resultant throw-in, United gave the ball back in the form of a throw-in to Chelsea.
In normal circumstances, players usually would be expected to return possession by keeping the ball in play. However, this game was not played in normal circumstances. It was two teams who have battled it out for the league title against each other for the past few seasons, playing for a trophy both clubs desperately craved; Chelsea to win for the first time, United to honour the Busby Babes 50 years after Munich, as well as boost Sir Alex Ferguson’s winning CV.
In the first half of extra time, United were owed possession after kicking the ball out of play for an injury. Instead of returning the ball to Edwin Van der Sar, Ashley Cole kicked the ball out for a throw-in, leaving Sir Alex Ferguson less than impressed. The ITV commentators called Chelsea out on this bad sportsmanship.
Tevez had obviously been taking note of how this game was to be played, not with the usual decencies, so did to Chelsea exactly what they had done to us. Essentially though, it’s not really a big deal, is it? Kicking the ball out of play for a throw-in? Kicking the ball back to the keeper? It’s not going to make or break the match. Sadly for Chelsea fans, their players didn’t see it that way!
John Terry was lying on the deck when this incident was taking place, Makelele tending to the captain’s cramp. Tevez kicked the ball out of play and Ashley Cole made a remark to the Argentinian, obviously not of a nice nature, because Tevez reacted angrily. Cole carried on jogging past him for the throw in and the situation should have been over.
However, John Terry came wading in, having a go at Tevez for kicking the ball out of play. Tevez, pointing, was clearly reminding Terry of the earlier incident when Chelsea had done exactly the same thing. Terry stepped in close to Tevez, raising both his arms wide.
Seeing their captain having a go, up came the cavalry in support. Michael Ballack was the first to join in, shoving Tevez in the chest with both hands. Then Frank Lampard shoved Tevez in the chest. Terry, realising what he had just started, pushed Lampard away.
Nani then took Tevez’s side, standing between his team mate and John Terry, whilst Tevez walked away. Now not under the guidance of his captain, Lampard went after Tevez again, following him, pointing and shouting.
Then Carvalho came over, pushing Tevez in the chest, who at this point, had calmed down and was not walking towards any of the Chelsea players. Makelele was the only helpful one of the lot, carrying the ball and reasoning with Tevez, who held his arms out, shrugging, clearly as baffled as everyone watching over what the fuss was about.
Meanwhile, another group had formed, all shouting and bunching together. Nemanja Vidic and Didier Drogba were at the centre of it, shouting and wrestling free of each others’ grip. Instead of taking hold of his own player, trying to get Drogba out of trouble, Terry was holding on to Vidic. He took hold of his sleeve and pulled him backwards, then Drogba swiped his hand out at Vidic’s face.
Whilst the incident with Vidic and Drogba was taking place, Lampard was one on one with Tevez, pointing in his face and still shouting.
Michael Ballack was the first player in the book, presumably for running over and shoving Tevez at the start of the incident. The referee then walked over to Drogba, showing his the red card. The striker stood with his hands on his hips, faking surprise and confusion. Then he followed John Terry, who was saying something/spitting at Tevez from behind his sleeve, instead of walking off the field. Tevez was then showed the yellow card as Michael Essien wrapped his arms around Drogba’s waist, holding him back from Tevez.
As Drogba finally walked off the field, he made the effort to go via Vidic. Rio Ferdinand sensibly ran between the two players, facing his own team mate to keep him away from Drogba.
Now, we all know that in his head, John Terry already had one hand on the Champions League trophy as he walked up to take that fifth penalty. ‘Mr Chelsea’, as Frank Lampard calls him, knew that he could be the man to hand Chelsea their first European Cup trophy.
Much has been made of the fact he slipped and that without that slip, Chelsea would be Champions of Europe. It always surprises me that not a lot is made of the fact that without Van der Sar’s slip, following the ball deflecting off two United players, the game would have finished 1-0!
Terry shouldn’t have even been taking a penalty, as it was Drogba who was set to be one of their penalty takers. However, following his red card, Terry was bumped up the list and the responsibility was given to him. Whilst not excusing or validating Drogba’s decision to slap Vidic, as obviously, he got exactly what he deserved for such a petulant and stupid act, once we look back at the events within those two minutes, it’s clear that the situation was created solely because Terry couldn’t keep his mouth shut. Had he just bitten his tongue, allowed the game to continue on, then there would have been no trouble, and most importantly, no red card for Chelsea’s top striker.
As I’ve discussed previously, Terry is far too emotional, and it is that emotion that cost Chelsea the European Cup. Whilst it is admirable to have passion and love for your club, particularly in a day and age when players are such mercenaries, there needs to be some control of these emotions, whether they are anger or tears.
United have lost important games, in Europe and in the Premiership, but our players don’t sit about crying. One argument for this could be that United don’t have players who love our club as much as Terry loves Chelsea. But when you look at the likes of Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Wes Brown, to name a few, then obviously we can see that argument doesn’t hold any weight. Whilst our players are dedicated to United, they can take hold of their emotions and ensure that they are focussed on the teams’ success, rather than what role they should be playing in this success.
We have seen John Terry crying after losing European Cup semi-finals against Liverpool, after being knocked out of the World Cup quarter-finals and most recently, the European Cup final. What effect does that have on a team, to see their captain in bits after losing any important match?
The passion of Gary Neville has been shown many times over the years, but it was epitomised with his badge showing tribal dance in front of the dippers. This is inspirational to the team, this is a positive show of passion and love for the club.
When John Terry decided to ignite the situation in the European Cup final, marching after Tevez when the incident had already finished, he had no idea what he was starting. On reflection now though, we can see it wasn’t just his penalty miss that aided us in winning the Champions League last season, rather his failure to control himself and his emotions!
Man Utd News 24/7
John Terry is a scum bag, who gets away with murder, but what comes around goes aroun he got what he deserved later, ah karma!
Viva John Terry,
Viva John Terry,
Could have won the cup,
But he FUC*ED it up,
Viva John Terry.
John Terry is very sneaky.He plays the big
Northern mug…
Chelsea will lift the title this season…as you say muggy…what goes around comes aropund.
Sorry didn’t finish message above.He plays the BIG I AM ,he thinks everyone else should respect him but he shows no respect for anyone else.They didn’t deserve the win.They play very dirty at times and that was one of them.
Mug , mug not much as a mug as captain marvel ha ha!
It’s great to see that Scott is so interested in Chelsea, again, but sadly in his haste he’s made a few errors, again.
For instance, the throw out situations are not directly comparable – Chelsea kicked the ball out and then let United take a throw in without any pressure on the thrower. It was perhaps unsporting, but essentially the same as giving the ball back to the keeper. United on the other hand kicked the ball out and then crowded Chelsea’s throwing player, blocking off the route back to Cech and forcing Chelsea into a defensive corner – this prompted by Edwin Van Der Sar running 60 yards from his goal to tell Tevez what to do.
When the inevitable melee broke out, Terry managed to stop Vidic (too passionate?) swinging at Drogba, sparing him a certain red card (interestingly, Terry had done exactly the same at the game at the Bridge, when several United players lost it and went for the referee, the opposition and each other, to often hilarious effect). Terry then completely lost it when Drogba stupidly got himself sent off.
Terry is certainly no saint but there were lots of incidents like this during the game, unfortunately, it was that sort of match and lots of players reacted badly to bad decisions (joe cole was hilarious), just as many in red as in blue.
In truth, it’s all rather dull unless you are fan of tabloids, talksport and other forms of manufactured controversy (crap, partisan blogs, for instance).
I certainly don’t see why Terry, Drogba or Anelka should be ‘blamed’ for anything. Those are the breaks in football, and those who have supported sides who have experienced genuine difficulty and know what the bad times really taste like shouldn’t be getting too angsty about only being labelled the second best team in Europe. Because it’s really not something to be ashamed about.
terry was to blame for it all and is scum if you ask me, i just feel that there were better people on the pitch that should have taken his pen kalou for instance. but john terry knew if he put himself 5th he could walk up and have the chance to win the cup for chelsea (putting personal gain imo ahead of the team) – we never saw rio putting his name down in the opening 5 did we?
if only i could hear the thoughts going through his mind as he steped up… “ok slot the pen in, kiss the badge – media will love this because im MR CHELSEA, hug my team mates and tell the press how losing the league doesnt matter because this is the one we wanted all along… O CRAP IM RUNNING QUICK PICK A CORNER!”
chelsea kicked the ball to out twice, not once. tevez indicated that when confronted by chelsea thugs. as for terry, he did spit at tevez, even though UEFA had no guts to charge him.
In fact, your whole obsession with other clubs and players (crap songs AND a t-shirt celebrating a penalty miss!?!) is rather strange and a wee bit pathetic.
I thought United fans prided themselves on being street smart and witty? This is very low rent (pun very much intended). A bit Spurs to be honest.
Peter, you are on a United site, who is the one obessesed?
best blog youve ever wrote
well said stephen. always gonna be the chelsea rent boys coming to read about their players on a United blog. It makes me laugh when other club supporters come on here bitching about the stories being “pro-united” – it is a United blog after all.
As for the Terry issue.. I’m glad you commented on the VDS’s slip as well. Its so tiresome to hear if Terry hadnt slipped. bla bla bla. But the slippery pitch fell both ways and neither team can claim it as their downfall or their edge.
In the end, the best team won. And seeing VDS save the day with the Anelka kick was pure joy for me.
Correct Stephen, I am obsessed with Chelsea. That’s why I read about them on a variety of different platforms that I would never normally go near (the Daily Mail for instance).
If you can’t see the difference between that and what is happening here – a United fan, on a United blog, writing endless articles about one other club – I’m afraid I can’t really help. I’m just glad the Chelsea sites I read aren’t so single-minded in their approach because I’d get rather tired if instead of writing about Chelsea they kept banging on and on about MUFC.
Simply put, justice was done in the final of the ECL on many levels:
Chelsea (usually led by Terry suprise suprise) have been by far the worst offenders for several years now of harassing and shouting/screaming at match officials and getting no action taken against them
Man Utd played by far the better football throughout the season both domestically and in Europe
As has been mentioned, the slip was payback for the one VDS suffered when he would have easily saved Lampard’s shot otherwise.Thankfully it was as costly to Chelsea as it VDS’s had been to Utd.
At the time it was excrutiating but the fact they got so close made it all the better when they lost it. As the article says Terry had a look like he was pretty much expecting to wheel away with CL victory as he took his pen. Brilliant
John Terry – The greatest captain that has ever lived. Nice to see this site so obsessed with JT and Chelsea. Gives me a fuzzy and warm feeling deep inside. Cheers lads.
Carefree, KTBFFH
Thats why I love John Terry really. The fact that he is so bloody hated by everybody. Like Roy Keane was for example by everyone bar United fans. The more hate, the better the player. Keep it up lads.
Britney – had this game involved Chelsea and another team, then fair do’s, you might be on to something with your claim of ‘obsession’. However, you don’t have to be a genius to see that if it wasn’t for JT’s behaviour in regards to the Tevez incident, we, my team, United, might not have won the European Cup. I’d say I have quite a healthy obsession with my own team, but as for your warm fuzzy feeling… I tend to save those for times when I see my team do well, not when I read articles exposing my captain as an emotional bottler who handed a title rival the European Cup. Cheers for stopping by though
JT – please, please do not compare your cry-baby with Roy Keane. Lol can you imagine Roy bursting in to tears every time he lost an important game? Oh dear.
Well Scott, Terry didnt spit on Tevez. He was cleared by UEFA for spitting on Tevez, guess my question is why do you chose to ignore that fact? Maybe you dont see yourself as a serious writer, but maybe you do. Shame you dont manage to get your facts straight.
PS: you didnt really expose anything. Just confirmed that why JT is such an idol for me. I love it when fans hate on him, it just says that he is that good. just like fans hated on Keane, he was a prick but he was good.
To you Saids, if you hail from malta stand up and be counted – say so!! Terry is a jerk and an absolute pussy, plays the Big I Am but cannot take the flak. It could not have happened to a nicer guy and, know what? the cup success tastes sweeter for it !! What a jerk!! As for United obsessed with Chealsea …….. give us all a break !!!!!!!!!!! You cannot possibly be as stooopid as you sound; or can you?
Britney – The moment I take anything UEFA have to say seriously will be a very sad day indeed, but each to their own. Feel free to take their judgements and foreign quotas seriously.
The official governing body of football says John Terry did not spit at Tevez. They came to that conclusion after 12 jury members looked into footage of the match. They viewed the footage and came to the conlusion that he dit NOT spit. Its just a real shame that you just ignore this simple fact as it doesnt play to well in this “hate JT” campaign you got going.
Im all for this hate thing. Its part of football really. I hate Neville to mention one. I hate Gerrard to mention another. But when I write about them I usually get my facts straight. I never accuse them of things that I cant prove. But guess each person for his own eh? Im sure that ignoring facts as you please will roll well in here with all the United fans. Makes you a popular Joe among these reds, but for us non United fans it makes you look kind of foolish. But its your site (I think) so you can fabricate and ignore facts as much as you want.
Cheers.
As I say, it’s a “fact” because UEFA say it’s a fact. If you want to take them seriously, that is your prerogative, but I personally think they’re a bunch of dozy twats and am capable of having an opinion independent to what they conclude.
Whatever Terry was doing, whether it be making some comment he didn’t want the cameras to see, or spitting at Tevez, it was something he shouldn’t have been.
And it’s hardly a JT hate campaign. Didn’t you read the article? I’ll be eternally grateful to ‘Mr Chelsea’ for helping us win the European Cup.
Jeez. Scott you are not making much sense I must say. I have seen many “Hate JT” articles. But this one is just not making sense to me.
You refuse to accept the official governing body ruling. However you cant yourself find any evidence to why there ruling should not be accepted. Its like saying
Scott: “The video shows the guy is not guilty but I refuse to believe the video”.
Why is that Scott?
Scott: I just refuse. He is clearly doing something he shouldnt do
What is it that he is doing?
Scott: “I dont know”
You see? It just sound stupid really. Im not calling you stupid, but I dont know, you just dont come across as a serious writer. Maybe that was your intention. Maybe you just wanted to say something that would make your fellow fans give you a clap.
And yes it really is a hate campaign. Specially when the whole point of the article is fabricated.
Britney, wise up why don’t you?. FIFA are a bunch of ‘no balls’ Eunuchs!. There decision incidentally wasn’t that Terry was guiltless, but that they couldn’t come to any definate conclusions from the TV footage. Funny that the rest of the CLEAR SIGHTED world could, and have their own verdicts. Terry spat, and everybody knows it.
Craig.
Im sorry but I have seen the footage and I dont see any spit coming out Terry`s mouth. So please, save the “clear sighted world could” crap.
Fact: Terry didnt spit
Fact: This article is based on a lie
Fact: United fans will never accept it
Fact: You bore me
Fact: Im off.
Its been fun exposing this article for what it really is. Do a better job next time Scott and you might just evolve as a writer.
Cheers lads.
Peter, crap, partisan blog?. One that you cannot stay away from it seems!.
Chelsea are indeed 2ND best team in Europe, and in PREMIERSHIP. Lest you forget!.
Terry stopped Vidic from losing it?. Hahahaha – only after Drogba, like the big woman he is, Bitch Slapped Vidic. If Vidic had not been arm wrestled by Terry, he would have flattened Drogba all over the MOscow pitch, with a proper punch. Anyway, truth is Bollocks Ballack caused that fracas, because Tevez and Terry had it sorted.
Your lot Peter had better get used to what you call the Crap songs and Tshirts, about Terry’s missed penalty, because you will be hearing it everywhere, AND NOT JUST FROM UNITED FANS. The Yids and Arseholes, and no doubt the hammers fans will be giving it some welly. Live with it, like we would if it was one of ours.
Funny you mentioned Joe Cole, he is the true actress, the Drama Queen of the premiership. His remonstrations, falling and rolling around when decisions go against him are legendary. And Ronaldo is not far behind him either, I am not entirely biased. If you don’t like the articles on this United fan site, feel free to stay the feck away.
Birttanty…congrats, you “love” a man who cries more than my 8 year old niece. You must swell up with pride when you see a grown man sobbing uncontrollably….
Britney, HE spat. Chelsea fans are in denial. Great to know though that your bored and off. That means you won’t be boring us with your faulty reasoning anymore – right?.
An unbiased view from a Liverpool fan.
1 – JT cost you the game cos he missed the penalty, end of
2 – JT is nowhere near the player Rio has become. The guy took a while to grow up but he was the only player all season that controlled Torres (Unlike Terry)
3 – Terry wants to shut up and get on with his game – Always acting the hard fella (like having a go a Torres in his 3 game in England – Tough fella eh? Never seen him have a go at the Duncan Ferguson’s or the Keane’s etc)
Pains me to say it but Terry is not a patch on Rio and as for a England Captain???? Wasn’t that long ago he was pissing on a club floor was it?
Drew Vader, well said mate. When we play Chelsea next season, we should all get our Hankie’s out and have a Terry sob, sob, sob along!.
And Peter, I really had to read your first comment a few times. Did you actually, really say something about United players arguing with themselves “often to hilarious effect”?? Are you fucking kidding me? Did you have your eyes closed when Drogba and Ballack almost came to blows over who could take a freekick? And your comment about United players surrounding the officials is just plain laughable. How about when your “captain” attempts to grab an officials hand as he is preparing to brandish a red card for another one of your chelski cry babies….
anybody claiming united fans dont srround ref need to get their eyes checked. they invented that shit
*anybody claiming united players dont srround refs need to get their eyes checked. they invented that shit
Sean, I salute you. A scouse with nouse!. If only your lot hadn’t scored an own goal against the Chelski, you would have been in Moscow instead of them. That would have been quite a feast of CL finals you would have reached in the last few years.
Britney – put your toys back in the pram and toddle along eh? We’re all entitled to our own opinions, aren’t we? Your opinion coincides with those muppets at UEFA, mine doesn’t. Why is that such a problem for you?
Your captain is a bottler and for all in the love in the World he may have for your team, he cost you the European cup.
Your sly digs about being a “serious writer” are pretty cringeworthy, if I’m honest. I’m not sure where you got the idea that the whole article was based around the spitting incident when I happened to mention that in one sentence. The point of the article revolves around the fact JT cost you the European Cup. He started on Tevez which then created the fuss that saw Drogba sent off and therefore unable to take a penalty for you. He also missed the penalty. I made one reference to JT spitting and obviously that had no effect on the outcome of the game. You’re not as simple as you make out, are you?
By the way Sean, Torres does have the beating of the Chelsea defence, and it is still the same defence they have this year, apart from Bosingwa. Think about it!.
Cheers Craig – Not sure it would have been a nice one to go all that way and lose in though if it was Utd (F**king fantastic to have seen us win though).
As much as I hate you lot ( and you do us so lets not lie here) the way the two players played Torres showed who was best….And it was Rio by a mile. As much as Ronaldo was superb I honestly think Rio was the mainstay of your lot…..
Interesting times if Ronaldo goes (And if I was a Utd fan I would want the c**t to go mate regardless of how good he is..)
sorry, i beg to differ..
John Terry is a better leader than Gary Neville, don’t even know why you are questioning it..
It would’ve been JT’s first Champions League, and that is why he’s crying, because he really wants to get his hands on it.. same with the World Cup..It shows his passion.. whether it has an influence in the rest of players, i’m not too sure.
Sean, the hate between Mancs and Scousers is renowned lol. Yet we don’t have to follow the sheep always and let the hatred affect common sense reasoning. Good to save the fervent derision for the time we are at football matches where our teams are contesting. Hatred that causes ANY fans, anywhere, to hurt people, public or personal property, or attack emergency services, is despicable behaviour, more to be hated. Most teams have their hooligans, and wish we hadn’t – right?.
I can’t speak for other United fans, but I personally agree with your thoughts on Rio and Ronaldo!.
Hussain, this is why I am questioning it. John Terry is your CAPTAIN. The whole Chelsea team were suffering and disappointed and down at losing a CL final. As captain, Terry should have been rallying his troops, comforting and seeking to lift them up, and not the other way around. A good leader thinks about his troops, not himself. Mourinho who I thought was a good leader and manager, DID go about lifting up Chelsea players spirits whenever they lost closely fought, important matches. Terry should have watched and learned.
Its simple really, Chelsea win by bullying referees and the opposition. Bottom line is they have no respect for their betters. If you look at how they assembled their squad they used Kenyons knowledge of SAFs future transfer targets to build their team.
Unfortunately they turned them into classless bullying individuals with no respect for anything but dollars.
Who saw ballack at Euro putting in the sly boot or standing on people at every opportunity. SAF would sack someone like that, at Chelsea its normal.
The ITV commentators words as John Terry stepped up to take the possible match winning penalty: ‘John Terry, the heart and soul of Chelsea’. I think he should of realised it was after 9.30pm, and said the following: ‘John Terry, the arsehole of Chelsea’. He’s a fucking cunt, and gets no sympathy from me for the way he conducts himself on a football pitch. The two stand out incidents of last season makes me hate him with such a passion:
United 2 Chelsea 0 – Premiership. Referee issues a red card to ‘mercenary cunt’ Mikel, John Terry attempts to pull the card out of the referees hand.
United 1 Chelsea 1 – European Cup Final. John Terry is seen spitting at Tevez and encourages bad blood between both sets of players, egging on Didier dogshit to stick his oar in.
Hussain – don’t talk piffle, John Terry is not a better leader than Gary Neville, look at what he has achieved in comparison. G.Nev also doesn’t cry like a baby when United lose, and he has been a losing finalist a few times in his decorated career.
Sydney Rob, to your last sentence.question in your post – we all SAW!.
Kings – Didier DOGSHIT – that made me LOL mate.
All you rent boys…WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!!
SMALL CLUB, NO HISTORY! Get off a United blog!
Terry is a fucking cunt,he deserved everything that happened to him.even GOD hates him.GLORY GLORY MAN UTD
Dear Rent Boys: You couldn’t even sell your tickets for the biggest game in your history……your poxy song should have gone “fuck your history, we couldn’t be bothered going to Moscow”
Regarding the subject matter, Terry got off his hole and ran 20 yards to start that row and ended up paying the ultimate penalty (no pun intended) and reacted like the over-rated 50 pence head “leader” that he is. In fact the ball nearly hit me in the face!!
He’s going to get some stick at OT this year….photo banners, the lot!!
And I can guarantee you…he reads United sites too!!
On another irritating subject, I sincerely hope that Lampard leaves his lovely Mum, Lord Rest Her, out of his celebrations going forth.
While I’m not a fan of his in any shape or form, I have admiration for how he came back so strongly after the pain he must have been going through.
It was however becoming a bit of a side show and thats not right in the global arena…first time was a lovely gesture but……..
Yours
Mr. D
Please lets not compare Terry to Keane. Keane is a man. Terry is a spoilt boy. Keane would never bawl his eyes out time and again in front of his team and fans.
Terry spat, same as he peed on the floor, same as he bottled someone a few years back. He has a big heart when it comes to defending I’ll give him that, and it partly covers for his lack of ability. He is still a tw*t though and should learn to control his temper and emotions.
I don’t hate England’s Brave John Terry. I do laugh at him sometimes though.
As for Terry being a better leader than Neville, well maybe if you want a fight, but not if you want to lead a football team. Get serious
To hussain, you obviously have no idea what makes a good leader. Being the first to wrestle the ref/opposition player or leading the team to start a fight during the match hardly qualifies as good leadership skills. Showing your emotions at the wrong time certainly isnt! There is this well known story about Nelson Mandela being on a private plane. 1 engine dead, everyone on board was scared stiff, but nelson himself continue to read his newspapers. This has calming effect on everyone. After landing, he was asked if he was at all scared. Nelson then said “i was terrified, but at that time i know i must not show it”. This is what leaders are all about. But silly me, how can i ever expect the chelski fans to be knowledgable enough to know about mandela. Sorry if im boring ya, run along and wank off to your captain marvel’s poster.
wow. chelsea supporters are fucking mongaloids aren’t they.
Good work Scott, get em fired up. That way when we lift the cup again, they’ll hate us even more.
Well, well, well. Some angry blues on here. I know these people come through the Chelsea NN section, but if they don’t have much constructive to say why can’t they shut their gob and get going after having seen the copious amount of red that colours this blog?
Great theme by the way, Scott. Good job Ahmed, if your reading this.
this might not go down too well with some Reds, but although we and the Dippers have the biggest rivalry in the Prem, I’d rather their club than these whining, cheating cockney coonts. (that goes for l’arse as well) Trouble is, they’re livid because after years of Liverpool domination they’ve got years of United domination and can’t lift a European Cup between em. They get everything handed to em on a plate down there and the one thing they can’t come up with is a decent football club. Both Chav$ and arse players’ behaviour has reached lows not seen since the Leeds of the 70s. We all have our moments but arse have probably the worse disciplinary record in history and now this lot, having got Rockerfeller in to buy em trophies won’t stop at kidnapping players signed by other clubs (Obi whatever his name is) or threatening referes with their lives, causing them to quit the game. Scum. Dippers fans might not be my cup of tea but both their club and ours have never stooped to those depths. Yes, we all have our moments as I’m sure I’m about to be reminded, but Jeez, you leave us for dead with your consistency. Slimey cockney twatz.
Red Ranter – LOL, you keep telling those GOBS to zip it up mate. Well until like you say, they have something constructive and worth saying. Are you still dishing out the tranquillisers on your blog by the way. Post a bit more on here won’t you RR?.
Chelsea you got to love them with their JT, Lamps, Chelse, ah small club trophyless season.
Well that stirred up the ranks. And you call us angry! God knows what you’d be like if you actually lost the game! Bless.
Anyway, few comments.
Frank Dobermann – ‘Dear Rent Boys: You couldn’t even sell your tickets for the biggest game in your history……your poxy song should have gone “fuck your history, we couldn’t be bothered going to Moscow”
I think Chelsea sold out before United actually. But don’t let that spoil your little joke.
DrewVed – you read my comment a few times and still didn’t understand it. When I mentioned United players arguing among themselves, I was talking about the game at Stamford Bridge (when Terry, on at least two occasions, stopped United players getting into big trouble). And it was quite funny, undeniably.
CraigMc – Joe Cole is a right little diver, but I wish to god he’d gone down when Rio’s tackle nearly took his ear off right at the end. A second yellow then with us on top would have made extra time very interesting! So it goes.
Oh, and Terry didn’t spit. Unless it was a) invisible; b) so dry that Tevez didn’t even look at his hand after he touched his neck (which was actually where the ref’s whistle strap hit him); c; so slow it took a few seconds to hit Tevez, so slow was his reaction. I think he may have said some naughty words, though. Shocking I’m sure to such a pure hearted innocent moralist as yourself.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to Scott’s next piece about Chelsea, which I’m sure won’t be too long away given his eye-popping obsession. (Must be a plastic cockney red, why would a real Manc even care?)
Great to see you all so interested in our little club and good luck next season, I’m sure it’s going to be fun.
Peter
1. Born and bred in South Manchester, if you must know, but dispute the claim that cockney reds are ‘plastic’. We’ve had a massive following from those parts since the 70s and it certainly wasn’t the glory that was attracted them back then!
2. United played Chelsea in the European Cup final and upon reviewing a clip from this match, I see that ‘Mr Chelsea’ aided us greatly in winning the match. You call that Chelsea obsession, I call it a healthy interest in my own club. Had JT gifted a European Cup win to a team other than United and I took time to write about it, then your claims would have some weight.
3. If you did sell all your tickets, that is brilliant news. Will make a nice change for a United vs Chelsea match, with the empty seats we usually have at Old Trafford where your lot are sitting. Funny how your fans (I won’t call them plastics eh?) can find the motivation to travel to Moscow but not to Manchester.
4. Am I a pure moralist? Certainly not. Racist? Again, certainly not. Ask that “Argie cunt” what JT said to him… oops, did I give it away?
please cant we man united supporters just have some privacy? cant we enjoy our blog? cant we post whatever we like to please ourselves? cant we have some freedom to have some laughs at the scousers, dippers, rentboys, bitters and gooners? cant we just be free to do whatever we like? cant we? cant we? cant we????????? where is the freedom of speech? freedom to privacy? freedom to be happy doing the double over the rent boys?

6. scott, you are the man.
7. man united till i die!
8. peace out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scott, who on earth called you racist? What a bizarre statement. We always sell out OT as well (I know, cos I’ve missed out on tickets the last two seasons), so again, strange comment, and one not entirely rooted in reality. And three Chelsea articles inside a week suggests you do have a healthy interest in our small club. As I say, nice to see, and am more than happy to help you ensure you get your facts straight in future. All the best.
Lol read between the lines Peter, stop being so simple re: racism, John Terry and the “Argie cunt”.
Last season you took up full allocation (to mourn the not-so-special-one I imagine), but the seasons before there have been empty seats on numerous occasions, because we sang about. I remember particularly the match when we gave you the Guard of Honour, it was shocking to see how many of your fans couldn’t be arsed to make the journey. “Sell all your tickets, you couldn’t sell all your tickets…”
Take a look at yourself, you can’t stop posting comments on a United blog, and you think you’re in a position to call others obsessed with other teams? Classic. Toodle oo Pete.
Peter you can’t tell me you you sell out very week because you don’t, oh well done for taking up your allocation @ OT, most clubs do by the way.
Stephen, think we sold out every game except one in the Champions League, which was a really terrible attendence. I only mentioned OT cos Scott seemed to be in possession of inaccurate information regarding the fixture.
Scott, I don’t care what you think Terry said to Tevez. Does it really upset you that much? Honestly? Speaking of which, I was at that OT guard of honour game and we sold out, def.
Can’t remember your songs, but the funniest thing that day was United’s lap of honour in front of about 15,000 home fans – the rest did a runner long before the end.
And do I have to – again! – explain the difference between me, a Chelsea fan, talking about Chelsea and you, a United fan, talking about Chelsea? It’s not that complicated mate.
Peter, you really are “Numb Nuts” aren’t you?. Lucky we don’t charge people for excursions to this blog, because you would be so much out of pocket. Scott you should give him a season ticket, he is the only Chelsea fan who is never away from this United Forum. Then the Chelsea forums/blogs are probably as BORING as their shit football, so can’t blame him for wanting to migrate over here!.
Pure hearted innocent moralist?. Well you got the INNOCENT right lol!.
Seeing as Chelsea management and players are obsessed with United, it is little wonder that articles are written here is it?. Your “little club” renown, has got Peter Kenyon (fully payed up Man Utd supporter from Stalybridge ffs), panicking and running around like someone with a RED hot poker up his arse, trying to get you some kind of world recognition. He knows he is the next one out of the Bridge, if he fails to get you amongst the world’s top clubs. Ambramovich can buy everything but class. As the world’s media recognised CLASS when Bobby Charlton went up and refused to accept a medal around his neck, and Peter (Stalybridge) sell his mother for a few bob Kenyon, grabbed his UNEARNED medal and displayed it to the ridicule of the British and world press core. How he was denounced for that single class-less act, Bobby Charlton was lauded as he should be.
Anyway, do keep coming won’t you Peter, because United blogs are vibrant and full of life. You can be sure we will keep the articles coming. You are a sad delusionist though, if you think that we only ever write about Chelsea. Don’t you think we get the same response from articles posted about Spurs, Arsenal and the Hammers and Scousers?. Their fans love to migrate over here too. Thing is, what you fail to see Peter, is that the articles are all United connected. Just as this whole article was about how Terry gifted us the CL cup through his uncontrolled emotional outbursts. I’ll leave you with this, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, PL AND EUROPE – ENJOY!.
Peter your average gate in 1998 was 33,387 and now is 41,397, who are now the new glory boys?
To all you Chelsea critics, gobbing about ‘Salt of the earth’ Southern United fans. These Southern fans probably attend more Man Utd games, than Chelski fans to this blog attend your clubs games.
And NO, I am not a Southern Red, I am an out and out PROUD Salford Red. But I am still at one with all fans who love United, wherever they are from.
1) All United captains since I was born have had their pride. They always leave the field with dignity. They may have wrecked the dressing room afterwards but not embarrassed themselves in public. And don’t tell me that they didn’t care. Mandela example was spot on.
2) The amount someone is hated doesn’t count. Otherwise the best player in EPL is Joey Barton.
3) You seriously have to admit you’re wrong when Liverpool fans defend us. Tevez probably acted to feel the spit in his neck. Oh dear.
Lol at the joey barton one. I dun hate him btw, i think he is sad case.
Stephen, in 1998 we didn’t have a West Stand so our capacity was about 7,000 smaller. Again, I fail to see what this has to do with anything Scott posted originally. If you really wanted to have a pop, you could have looked at our average gate in 1991. Or 1981! Now that really was shocking.
CraigMc, you little charmer, the Chelsea blogs I read are actually a lot like this one – full of people talking about Chelsea! I mean, you certainly wouldn’t find us posting three articles in a week about United in the middle of the summer, because, well, that would be a trifle sad, don’t you think?
And congratulations on being Champions of Europe, as I’ve said before I see no shame in being only the second best team in Europe. It’s more than I ever could have dreamed of 15 years ago and then lends a supporter a certain sense of perspective that seems to be lacking from the average United fan.
Anyway, this has all been a very good example of why you lot should probably stick to talking about United, which I’m sure you a lot about (a lot more than me anyway, who couldn’t give two fucks): every time you say something about Chelsea you get it completely wrong and I have to come on and embarrass you in front of your friends. Now, that’s not particularly difficult and doesn’t take up much of my time, but I’m sure yours could be spent more wisely.
Oh, and Craig, I never criticised United’s non-manc support – I think it’s strange following a team 300 miles away, but each to their own – I just questioned whether Scott was a cockney given his obvious fascination with London clubs.
Kilhar – come now, Robson, Keane, RIo have all had their moments on the pitch. Great players one and all but it happens. Terry can be a total twat, but he’s hardly unique.
And I don’t think Tevez was acting, the whistle strap really did hit his neck, you can see it clear as day (unlike the spit, which is completely invisible). Also, the ref was looking right at Tevez when it happened, do you really think he wouldn’t have noticed if Tevez was covered in gob? And finally, if somebody gobbed at you, the first thing you would do after touching the spot is look at the evidence on your hand surely. Doesn’t happen here. Nobody spat at anybody, as UEFA and the referee have since confirmed.
Right, now I really will say goodbye. Don’t say anything nasty behind my back lads, it wouldn’t be nice!
Chelsea is the biggest cheats in the history of sports. while other teams patiently build a club through hard work, they . what spend millions of money from a billionaire sugar daddy.same would hapen if bill gates buys even a team like Derby county
Hey Peter, get over yourself, United won the double and Chelsea won nothing – live with it…
Hey, scott,
why dont you post a article on how fucksea cunts keep visiting other club’s sites and when realize the truth about their crying captains and poopy players, comes up with some really stupid comments… that would be fun to read and again when they will comment on that (believe me they will) the more stupidity we will see of them…
