Savile Rogue, purveyors of the world’s finest football scarves, have just launched their new King scarf and they’re marking the occasion by giving Republik of Mancunia readers the chance to win one in United colours.
If you’re not familiar with them, Savile Rogue scarves give a nod to football terraces of yesteryear, shunning in-your-face logos and cheap nylon in favour of a traditional bar design and the comfort, quality and warmth of top grade cashmere wool.
The King scarf is the longest Savile Rogue yet. At 180cm, it’s perfect for tying a stylish European loop (and equally perfect if you happen to have a particularly big neck!).
They sell for £64.95, but you can get your hands on a Manchester United scarf by posting a YouTube clip to your favourite Dimitar Berbatov moment in the comments section below. You must ensure that you are posting comments from a valid e-mail address as this is how the winner will be contacted.

I’ve got one of those. They’re classy, and bloody comfy.
Not the ‘King Scarf’ obviously, but one of the smaller models.
His touch vs Blackpool. How many people on the planet could do it/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwknX1BGPbk
I liked the five goal performance against Blackburn, but I’ll never forget this: http://youtu.be/6BqMIXg1PQs
And to go along with the clip, enjoy this: I found this to be hilariaous: http://youtu.be/Nv0kRS2Fn1I
As far as I’m concerned, I love Berbatov, and I do miss him. I wish we could have treated him better. All the best to you Dimitar; you class will not be soon forgotten by this Manchester United fan!

Dimitar Berbatov bicycle kick goal vs Liverpool 19/9/2010 – view from the stands.

We will never forget you Dimi. Your grace, style and suave demeanor lives on in our memory.
Thank you, and good luck!
Oh, and if this means anything, I do live in Canada, and it gets cold here, so if I’m lucky enough to get this, HOLY CHRISTMAS, I’ll be over the moon!
Here is a great 2½ minute clip of Berba’s phenomenal first touch.
No goals, just a collage of glorious skill in various games. I am in awe.

£64.95!!!! I’ll get my mum to knit one.
Dreaded red_ amazing compilation, love the move at 2.15!
£64.95. That would almost pay for lunch at the red cafe
I was within five meters, or so, of the guy that filmed it from behind the goal. Amazing flick (pun intended..)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpVj1PduJc8&feature=related
Glad hes got the opportunity to shine again, except against us please .
Unoriginal but I just can’t look past his overhead vs Liverpool. One of my favourite moments by any player in recent years:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk495J14u78
leeds cashmere scarf. Does not quite go in my opinion. Too classy for them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7g2sWGVN24
Brilliant goal, great pass and great finish. Classic Berbagod, sad to see him go. Plus his first goal for us.
redbilly – wonderful skill vs West Ham, absolutely loved it! I’ve watched it a 100 times, or more!
Also love the outrageous skill at 1:44 vs Everton, where Dimi is knocked out of play right on the corner flag, yet retains control AND passes the ball while flat on his back!
Im better than you, na na na na do do dip your head in poo poo.
Im a goat Im covered in the stuff, putting on a cashmere scarf would just make me static.
Anyway
£65 for a fucking scarf are you wise. My neck isnt so baby bum soft that I need to pamper it like a poofs taint. Ill stick with my crown of thorns and a womans legs as a scarf. You silly fuckers out in the cold, cashmere scarf and manbag on your way to meet Derek the art gallery owner – fucking mancs, lol, your as hard as the modern viking.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z7VaZGEkVs
Dreraded Red- fantastic. Also, its the casual way i nwhich he appears to stop the ball dead.
Nice scarf but I will stick with the one I bought for £8.00
Dreaded Red- the 1.44 is top drawer though the 2.15 for me is awesome. Hope he shines , except against us.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sjs1rbVk6g
His one had me jumping up and down, a cracking goal against the scousers…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZN80jfpS94
The 5 goals V Blackburn just because I got to see it first hand and everyone has gone for the Liverpool Hatrick.
I almost wanna go for a ‘finding Eric-it was a pass” moment with the pass to Ronny vs West Ham in 08/09
Dont forget to sort out City Dimitar!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLpfkb4HFP4
this by far has to be the best moment. The day/night that Berba signed! i will never forget the excitement i was filled with that day the whole way in panned out with citeh trying to hijack the deal. Then he chose us the fans outside OT singing his name everything about that deadline day was unreal.
Berba was a wonder player an absolute unsung footballing genius.
redbilly – the 2:15 against West Ham is breathtaking!
Shine on Dimi, shine on!
goat – how long did your cashmere scarf take to grow?
Jesus Christ – Ollie Holt from the Mirror is spouting some grade-A shite on Twitter. Supporting Robbie Fowler’s mental suggestion that Evra and Suarez should lay wreaths together before kickoff – Evra one for Hillsborough and Suarez one for Munich.
The gesture itself may make sense if it was between the club captains, but the idea it should be Evra and Suarez doing it is fucking insane. Up until a couple of months ago, Suarez was STILL protesting his innocence and painting Evra as the perpertrator. Evra has shown no sign of wanting to drag this out any further and quite rightly wants to put it all behind him. And clowns like Robbie Fowler and Ollie Holt want to see him forced into holding hands and carrying flowers around with the person who’s racially abused him and has no remorse …
… do me a fucking favour.
the ultimate Berba bicycle!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BqMIXg1PQs
To top it off, it was against the dippers
What a win
Back in the 90s, they scouser have 3 players called “spice boys”, Jamie Redknapp, Steve McManaman and Robbie fowler. They still the king of England, we just won our epl trophy in 92-93, our CLASS OF 92 just born, the media compared our class of 92 and spice boys, esp Giggs vs macca.
But who wins? We all see it, they just stuck with their division one medal and trophy, when apple is just fruit and Yugoslavia is still exist.
We shut them up 2 years ago, we made them cry a river, after winning our 19th title and their spice boys are no longer exist, while our class of 92 are still there and play in the highest league, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.
So here we come scousers….

Had make some corrections there – from [Manchester United Die Hard Fans] facebook page
My favourite moments are not so much his goals but his class and individual skill on the pitch, particularly this wonderful turn and flick against West Ham to put the ball on a plate for Ronaldo..

CLASSLESS SPINELESS FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! AFTER HE IS GONE SLAMMING SAF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TcNhWSLC_M
@Zibbie
I think you might be the only person in the world, other than a few deluded Spurs fans, who thinks Berbatov is ‘classless’.
My browser is fucking doing me ass today
A quick fix can do
He never hustled 90 min, lacked in defense , scored in no cl games when needed, you want pretty trophy-less football like the Gunners?
@Zibbie
All people here are doing is posting their favourite moments.
You’re the only person apparently insistent on dredging up “The Berbatov Debate”, so I don’t know why you’re complaining about ‘still this fucking shit’.
WTF CLASS? HE COULD FUCK PUPPIES?? A STRIKER SHOULD SHOUT OUT LOUD TO PLAY EVERY GAME. YOU THROW THE WORD CLASS AROUND AND HAVE NO CLUE! REAL CLASS AFTER HE HAS LEFT SLAMMING SAF!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????
Good I’m off to work, all you dudes have a good Berbagasiam in the BERBA CIRCLE JERK!!!!!!!!!!
CUM SUNDAY WILL THIS FUCK BE ON THE FIELD??????????
Didn’t he hit 12 in 3 on his way to winning the golden boot?
Where’s berba when we want him
Berba scores when he wants
@Zibbie
Sentences, please. Once that make sense, preferably.
Zibbie says:
CUM SUNDAY WILL THIS FUCK BE ON THE FIELD??????????
________________________________________________________________________
No. Neither will Denis Law (who joined City and sent United down), Peter Schmeichel (who joined City), Ronaldo (who said we enslaved him), David Beckham (who fell out with SAF and chased the glamour). Do you hold the same attitude towards that lot? Thought not.
As for ‘slamming’ SAF … you sure are a sucker for a headline, aren’t you?
My favorite Berba moment, the most truthful,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZb1WhoAmQs
This incredible bit of skill v Hammers leading to an assist by Ronaldo to put the game to 2-0, is a favorite Berbatov moment.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nauwOC8Ql0g
I actually think his hat trick v Pool was his greatest game for us.
SAF’s presser – Key points ex TAOT:
Team news:
“Everyone who played on Wednesday is available. I know there were reports on Wayne Rooney being available but that’s not the case, though he’s not far away. He could be back next week. Ashley Young has a bruised cartilage – he’ll be okay in two to three weeks.”
On Darren Fletcher:
“He made a start on Wednesday. He won’t start on Sunday but he’ll play against Newcastle – that’s the perfect game for him to start. Then we have Spurs and he may be involved in that.”
On Sunday’s game:
“We’ve given a lot of messages from Manchester United. It’s an important game for both clubs. It’s possible everything around the game could affect the players and the game, but hopefully we can concentrate on a good match. We want to try and achieve a good performance and result.”
On Brendan Rogers:
“He is a young manager and any young manager needs time. In the modern world you don’t get that. The only route for any manager is success. It’s a results industry. There was less pressure when I started, but the world has changed, the press has changed.”
You believe our own hype, say things often enough lies become truth!!!!!!! He slammed SAF the fuck head did.
If he is so fucking good why did no one come after him? He is a great box striker, good in the 90′s not in todays game.
HAVE A FUN CIRCLE JERK!!!!!!! HAVE A TOWEL HANDY FOR YOUR JIS.
All these touches are quite lovely but out of them at the 40 second mark is my favourite. I swear the amount of assists and goals he would of had for us if he had slightly more intelligent players around him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XygEhLJXWno
This just sums berbatov up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbVVeVrwiA8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I am with Fletch. The skill against West Ham.
Young is out for 2-3 more weeks. Still waiting to hear how the fuck he got injured about a month ago. This crap is never ending.
Got to be this one for me!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJh7mWWIzSg
@Zibbie
Really mate, just drop it. No one’s looking to open up the debate again. Scott wanted to have a competition with Berbatov’s best moments. Nothing wrong with that. As for his comments, it’s been documented that they were taken out of context. He never “slammed” the man who openly mocked him in the video you posted.
It has to be the set up for Ronaldo vs West Ham:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nauwOC8Ql0g
Not many other players on the planet, and none from our team can do that !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdO8BYeSJjI
Brilliant, selfless, unappreciated;
http://youtu.be/VtqmQbcDBMg
Unedited SAF on Fletcher ex presser:
“He made a start on Wednesday which was great. He won’t start on Sunday but he’ll certainly play against Newcastle. I think that’s a perfect game for him to start back. Then we have the game against Tottenham next Saturday and he possibly could be involved in that, but it depends how he does on Wednesday.”
“It’ll be his first full 90 minutes after 10 months out so it’ll be a big night for him. He’s handling the conditions at the moment and he looks fine as we saw the other night. It’s a matter of hoping the condition stays dormant. He’s handling his diet well and doing all the right things so hopefully he gets that break he needs.”
Unedited SAF on Youngex presser:
“Ashley Young has got a bruised cartilage – I think it’s going to take two or three weeks more. We’re just taking our time with that one. You can easily play with it and train but we’re not going down that road, we want to make sure he’s okay.”
“We get a lot of experiences these days of these injuries reoccurring when they come back too quickly and we don’t want that with the players – we want to give them a full recovery. He should be okay with two or three weeks’ time.”
The moment that had every Utd fan off seats and saying ‘wow’
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtqmQbcDBMg
The over head kick vs Liverpool is my favourite moment but had to post the whole hatrick!! http://m.youtube.com/results?q=berbatov%20hatrick%20vs%20liverpool#/watch?v=6BqMIXg1PQs
Rooney and Young working way back, Fletcher available for Newcastle. Great news.
Question, I thought Fletcher wasn’t available for EPL games because not named to the 24 man roster.
So is the League cup not restricted by that list as well? Or can we add Fletcher at any time because of his home grown status?
@Fletch
I believe Darren is eligible for every domestic competition because he’s a homegrown player? That’s the impression I had.
Strike that, Fletcher is on the EPL list. When did that happen?!
http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/clubs/profile.squads.html/man-utd
GET IN DARREN!
Costas. Cheers. Think we were both thinking the same. But with Darren on the EPL list the issue is moot.
Young’s injury record certainly is an enigma… Gone for several weeks and the return date just keeps getting postponed. I can’t even remember when he got injured.
@Fletch
As Costas says, as Fletch is homegrown, he can be added to or removed from the full squad for domestic competitions at any time.
Either way I can’t wait for that Newcastle game. Fletch hasn’t started a game since the Benfica one 10 months ago.
@Diego
He played against Fulham on Aug 25 but didn’t feature at Southampton on Sep 2. So he got the injury during that time period. I don’t think it was during he Fulham game. He was moving freely during that one. Something happened during that week. And Fergie was very upset when the FA revealed the injury. Weird stuff..
@Costas/Diego
Can only assume it was a training injury … maybe judging from Fergie’s awkwardness about it, it was one of those really silly ones, like Bebe going in too hard on him, or him slipping on a water bottle, or the metal freekick wall falling on his leg… Who knows?!
Berba’s 5 goal haul at blackburn:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZN80jfpS94
Costas, How good it will be to see Fletcher in contention. Hope he doesn’t get abuse heaped on him as it would be grossly unfair.
Still the lad is on 197 league games (303 total) and could press on and get this 200th league game if he continues to progress. Fingerers crossed as they say.
Darren Fletcher, Football genius! Hope he rewards Sir Alex for his confidence!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jea-YoodiPU
This is my favourite Berba moment, because it is the only time I have been able to see United play live. They came to play Celtic in a friendly in Toronto a few years back.
Zibbie – You are nutter for certain
Berba was our best striker in 2010-11 when Rooney fucked up lest you forget. Chicharito aswell deserves credit. Without Berba more notably inbetween August to February scoring 19 goals in that time space if my memory serves me right we would not have won the league. Where was your precious Rooney Zibbie during Aug to Jan. I remember Rooney scored only like 3 inbetween that time while Berba as we know was in double figures with Chicha.
Sorry to be rude mate, but your reaction to Berba is disrespectful. Most United fans that don’t like Berba still appreciate his loyalty, his class, his humble demeanour. He’s a real red who fought to be our player and fought for a chance…bloody hell he only scored 9 last year in 21 appearances a better average than the other strikers apart from Wazza. Also did you not notice how he changed his game to improve for Manchester United? His work rate doubled, he tracked back, defended and also dropped to defence when we was short.
C’mon mate, he never disrespected Fergie, nothing of the sort, if anything SAF proved to be brute-fully ruthless once again by disposing of Berba slowly and painfully until Berba had enough of the unfair treatment and headed out. Hell Berba was never even told to leave ! £10m bids was rejected in 2011 for the man and then he was sold for £5. Obviously it wasn’t a financial decision …the manager wanted Berba to rot in the stand as a back up just in case the youngsters fail to impress.
“I know he’s the boss, but he has lost, to some extent, my respect because of the way he treated me.’” I said “Farewell!” to all those who deserved it, and life is going on.”
: http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/910630-dimitar-berbatov-blasts-sir-alex-ferguson-over-treatment-at-manchester-united#ixzz276kKmWCR
Zibbie where is the disrespect dude? He has the right to feel this way, who wouldn’t? I support Man United, this man has never done anything on the level of Carlos Tevez and has never bad mouthed the club and has been a true red throughout, such loyalty from a foreign player is rare, only a few can claim to be true reds. Hell he refused to move to another English club and only did so out of desperation to fall in love with the game again !
Thats enough from me Zibbie, but please show some respect for a honest player who had class in abundance. I love Berba but his time came to an end and I am not bitter about it, hell I love what he did for us, even in his dark days.
The Berbatov Skill vs West Ham

The Liverpool goal is obviously special, in fact all three are but this skill is just unbelievable.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhi7bZognI8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C08pZjZOmLw
I don’t have one moment that I love of berba. Great player who could not really show his class.
Probbaly been included before! I think Berba has had lot of great unied moments like hatrick at the dippers and there are some games with individual skills that are simply breathtaking like his byline trick against west ham but I think he got stick from fans fot not scoring enough whe he had chances. One monet that always comes to mind is against city in FA cupw here he missed 2 great chances
but when I think about his time at united I always remember that day against blackburn! I was living in Jersey at the time, dandered into local bar to watch the game, got chattign to few united fans and we were literally bouncing about like absolute fools watching his 5 goals! Having him as capatain in my fantasy football that day was just icing on the cake! Check out his goals!!! and just look at the smile on his face!!!! HE LOVED IT!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZN80jfpS94
I hate it, that when a player leaves, we feel empty, kinda relief he’s gone, but at the same time very crazy about it, because we didn’t get his full potential.
Okey one season he was phenomenal so credit to him, people who say he is classles are delusional.
He is football class. But he just couldn’t make it at our team, as he should have been.
A shame, but this is football and this is Manchester United.

Zibbie
I am surprised to see you are still posting in this blog. Why haven’t you gone to that ND58 blog? I have never seen you post something sensible. I love the present state of this blog where everyone is posting about football and not talking about themselves. The comments in the Reaction to victory threat were great. Hardly any silly comments. Love the current state of the blog. Keep it up guys.
As for you zibbie I can understand your situation as now you don’t have anyone to talk with. If you don’t like berba its ok but atleast some proper reason. You always talk shit. Join your oldfellas. Stop wasting your and our time here.
thread*
Harish. finally someone put him in his place,
why always slate players? Berbatov was class, even though sometimes I hated that he didn’t score or so on, but when he played he did win us amongs Nani the League and the golden boot.
So show some respect.
If I had been playing for United as a United supporter for so long, and got treated like that, I would be gone mad, maybe said something also, but take in mind BERBATOV never talked shit about SAF, he just said something that, he didn’t know why he wasn’t played etc.
SAF is no God, and he makes mistakes, alot of them, but it’s our luck that he does more things right and has put this team where it belongs. No disrespect to SAF, but sometimes you can lay your opinion.
TEVEZ the €€€shitty was a different thing, and showed his true colours, even though he loved our club, he always smiled with us, when does he smile with City? But he showed his colours and noww, I can’t stand him. HE was different!
Berba was class and is class. just didn’t make it as we wanted.
@Harish
Berba talk is boring. Let’s talk about kebabs and personal lives…! Lolz.

favourite interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3DaYSrK5t0&feature=related
2 part, with paddy
Fuck am I bored with this no chanting and singing fucking songs at Hillsbrough, Heysel no I mean Anfield. Two fucking weeks of what not to sing and how to behave and not one silly fucker has said, I hope its a good game.
I hope we have first minute of aeroplanes and “you killed your own fans” chants so we can enjoy the other 89 minutes of football. Since when has football been a gentlemans sport. Since when has there been a players fan bar like Rugby or a pavillion like cricket. SInce when is there a clubhouse or anywhere where the sport is played on a gentleman basis. We live in a world of little fuckers screaming jizz, fucker, monkey, mother fucker, ugly bloated retarded cock sucker. We live in a sporting world where the players drink and drive, run undergae prostitution rings, sell drugs, racial battles, pissing in the street, taking drugs and starting bar brawls. Cant remember hearing Ernie Els, Kevin Pietersson or Johny fucking” crouch i shit my pants” wilkinson doing the rock and roll routine.
Football is a sport for scummers, football is a sport for us all to let our hair down and go somewhere where the wife isnt fuckin welcome unless she puts out for the lads. Where kids learn to be men by knicking wallets and swear like a trooper and watch daddy clip a cunt round the ear for swearing in front of his fucking ill mouthed smelly cunt of a sprog.
Fucking wake up and grow up.Sticks and stones may break my bones but the way I use them ………………………
Now can we start talking about he match.
I’ll start
Thank fuck that fat cunt Rooney wont be playing, I reckon we’ll make a go of it this time – heres to a good match. For those of you lucky enough to watch it please come on here and tell us all about it as I will have to sit and watch the skysports cameraman continuously pan in on Rooney and the commentator coming up with some useful facts and how much we miss him. Heres a stat – NO one in this household likes the cunt.
Good banter about United is what built this site.
All the teen age cock and bull can toddle on down the road as far as I am concerned.
It can come for a visit from time to time, but hopefully won’t burn to many bridges before it finds it’s way out the door and on down the road.
I am here for an exchange of views about United. After that, I don’t let myself get to bothered. United includes history and past players. So threads like this are good for remembering good times, or recalling not so good times. Both worth a work out since all educated lads will agree that they should know what they are talking about when they go out to banter with rivals (the friendly or the not so friendly).
If Harish is right about all the crap talk moving to other sites then it really is worth thanking those lads.
As for me. I have logged on to other sites for a look about.
My usual appraisal
I went,
I saw,
I left.
Like the lads on here that have stuck around and made an impact. Especially tip my hat to Scott who runs the ship a pretty cool and level head.
Cheers.
Fletch
Well said. See as an avid fan of united I come to this place to talk and read about our club. I have nothing against those who have gone to the new blog but Like you said We should thank them that they have left this blog. I had good Bonding with cedars, he was a nice guy but honestly this blog is better without them. I don;t want any controversy so I AM Stoping this topic right here.
Lets beat those scouse bastards.
Obviously this piece of skill was fantastic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n7gff2yxtc
Off Topic – The Heskey jokes on the previous thread are quite possibly the funniest fucking posts I’ve have EVER read on this blog.
Proverb, Utd FC, cheers mates, I had tears rolling down me cheeks.
The death row inmate in Utah…..bahahahahahahaha.
Aside from United banter, player/injury updates, talk of match day selection and recapping games played, posts like those are EXACTLY what makes this place fantastic.
Roll on Sunday!!
@Harish
The thing is, the way some of them are, they’ll be here as we speak, checking the comments, seeing if people are missing them.
Anyone who spends the amount of time some of them did on one site with any sort of social element, will not just be able to tear themselves away at the drop of a hat.
Hello, ND58ers!
This. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sjs1rbVk6g
On Topic, I will not repost the overhead kick versus Pool, my Berbavorite of his goals, as it’s already been posted numerous times. I will say that Dimitar Berbatov will go down as one of my all time favorites to watch. He plays with an artistic flair that is unrivaled in today’s game. Accused of being lazy because his game is bloody effortless. A true professional and as an aside, the coolest looking, bad ass mother fucker off the pitch I’ve seen since The King.
Play well Dimi. May the ball find your feet at Fulham, may you win the golden boot and long live hat tricks versus the Dippers.
Stenis
Yep thats the one that sticks in my mind. And we sold him for peanuts – what are we doing? Fucking wonderful player.
That’s true kanchelsiks,
but I think it’s time, for everyone to have his place and say his opinion without getting slayed or called a fanboy or plastic or make fun ofyou, if you say something different and share different opinions.
You can argue someone, but not call them shit, and plastics.and just start joking about everything, yes this is the internet but some respect, cause after all we support the same team.
In my opinion, this goal amongst three, which settled the 3 points against the scouser last year was just tremendous! The touch, the vision, the finish – That’s how I’ll remember the bulgarian.

The rivalry is in past history these days not quality of squads,so I hope the team goes into Anfield this year with much better tatics and takes the game to the Dippers.Last year was one of the worst performances of the year.Dippers just not very good anymore and the 3pts are Utd’s to lose

The Berbaspin that setup the Ronaldo goal for me… simply because I haven’t seen anyone pull a move like that off at full speed before which such grace…. the only moment that comes close to THAT is the goal vs liverpool which should have won an award!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJh7mWWIzSg
Has to be… this touch against West Ham. Silk.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z7VaZGEkVs
2 – 0 down to Blackpool….he comes on and inspired a magnificent comeback….his second goal is my pick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujKwq9r7I8s
it must be the Liverpool overhead goal…it has style, substance and loads more meaning being against them.

@Papii
Well said mate. Although to correct you on one bit, he never said that he didn’t want to say goodbye to the manager. Just that he didn’t have the time for it because everything happened so fast.
@ Kanchelskis
Robbie Fowler. Isn’t he currently playing for a women’s college in Mongolia?
I was vigorously shaking the ketchup bottle last night I’m fucking wasted can barely post
Get in darren!!
Let’s fuck them scousers
[United get their first win at anfield since 2007 after bettering the scousers 4-1 in sunday afternoon]
If there is one thing we learnt from last season then that is to never ever underestimate your opponent. Liverpool might look weak on paper but they are going to play as if their lives depend on it and we all know how UTD have been battered, bruised and screwed during our previous 4 visits to Anfield. It’s going to be a very tough match. The key is going to be the midfield. If the Gaffer starts Giggsy then it’s fair to say that it’s going to be another long Sunday afternoon at Anfield.
On topic. Berba-Class act. There are not many players in the world who are as technically brilliant as he is. The videos and the comments made by the posters above tell you that this man is one of a kind. I will never ever consider him to be a flop because if it wasn’t for him then we wouldn’t have won the 19th.
My favorite Berba goal has to be the overhead kick against L’pool. A close second will be the one he scored against Blackburn where he started the run up to the goal with a 1-2 with Evra and then placing an exquisite pass to Nani before coolly slotting it home.
Liverpool as we know are now adopting to the tiki taka system. The downside of this system is that when your players arent Catalan , it is doomed against high energy opposition (just check out how we used to thrash the Arsenal of 2008)
I think a similar approach will pay dividends vs Liverpool
Manchester United
Anders Lindegaard (The Dane has been solid in his last two Premier League starts and should start against Liverpool who have exploited De Gea in the past )
Rafael Da Silva (Looks good with five games on the trot..developing a level of consistency. With Stewart Downing/Fabio Borini up against him, defensive worries are few)
Nemanja Vidic (The Captain looked rusty in the first few games but was near his best against the likes of Johan Elmander against Galatasaray)
Jonny Evans (He was brilliant against Galatasaray and should edge Rio Ferdinand out of the line up)
Alexander Buttner ( After Patrice Evra’s poor showing midweek, the Dutchman is favourite to regain his position , with his energy being a huge plus)
Antonio Valencia (The number 7 is the complete package and the thought of him against Glen Johnson on his weaker side, leaves United fans licking their lips)
Michael Carrick (A brilliant performance midweek sees him probably being the first name on the teamsheet)
Tom Cleverley (The England international is set to start to provide ‘legs’ down the middle to track down the passing of Sahin and Allen)
Daniel Welbeck (With his phenomenal work-rate and brilliant vision, the youngster is set to start ahead of the ever-so-poor Nani)
Shinji Kagawa (The Japanese playmaker is the man to watch. His creativity and light touch projects him as a potential match winner)
Robin Van Persie (The old saying goes “Muscle memory works wonders”..if it were true we can expect another goal from Van Persie who stunned Anfield with a late winner for Arsenal last season)
Subs
David De Gea
Patrice Evra
Rio Ferdinand
Paul Scholes
Ryan Giggs
Wayne Rooney
Javier Hernandez
My fave! Berba vs Arsenal:

@Utd4life
Good shout with that Blackburn goal mate. It was his best on that day. Brilliant move from start to finish. Had Berba’s fingerprints all over it.
Proverb. The only change I would make to that lineup would be to play Rio instead of Evans. Apart from that, I think that’s a good enough lineup to get 3 points at Anfield. We also have enough ammunition on the bench to bring on if the match is not going in our way.
@ Proverb
Shyte bench there mate
Costas. Hi mate. That was a beautiful goal indeed. That was counterattacking done at Berba’s pace and style.
Another one. Berba vs renties.
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=pCWSzztdl5g
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk495J14u78 has to be the over head kick for me, the video is a view from the stand!
@utd4life its our turn now to thrash the scousers it’s been a while since we got a result in that shithole stadium of them
On that perspective I’ll agree with you, rio is likely to get the nod over jonathan after he sat out midweeks match vs galatasaray…
And jonny on the other hand is a good defender playing him vs liverpool is not as risky he seems matured and strong, his understanding with vida has improved
But after playing for 90mnts in midweek, yeah he may not start
his hat-trick against the dippers… what else?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BqMIXg1PQs
I love it… love it…
Last year we went to Anfield top of the league,full points scoring for fun.Intimidating place one poster said,I said then play our intimidaters we didn’t do that and our manager played not to lose.it took until the New Year to get back to the top of the league and our scoring fell off.Every team knows our midfield is poor and will exploit that,Pool fans are expecting Sterling to make hay down the wing but bad news he is up against Fafael,I have not seen a lot of our Dutchman Buttner defending but I would have him in there serios threat there imo.I would bench Evans and hope Rio and Vidic are fit to play,DeGea would be out as I feel he could cost us the match.The front line that played Wigan would be my choice and were good to go.
“Not many players would contemplate trying it, let alone actually pull it off…Magnificent”

Dimitar, thanks for the memories!
Ok. Berba vs West Ham is the most voted by us so far.
I can’t find a better quality clip, but this Berba free kick vs Chelsea is quality.
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=ZytRRl5DCnw
the man showed his class and attitude from day one. even outside of the 90 minutes without a ball at his feet you just knew he was going to be a fan favorite.
the post match interview from the charity shield in which we beat chelsea 3-1 and he scored a goal demonstrates his professionalism and leadership for younger players.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OkKra1qHdE
Shinji Kagawa has been voted man of the match for the game against Galatasary by fans on manutd.com with nearly 40% of the votes.
1.Kagawa
2.Carrick
3.De Gea

@parryheid
For what it’s worth, that was the one Anfield game we haven’t lost in the last 5 years. Didn’t come anywhere near to winning it, but Fergie’s decision to play Jones helped us gain some bite in the midfield area. Not a surprise when you consider that the Carrick/Scholes axis has failed miserably at Anfield. I am sharing your concern about the midfield going into this game. The ideal partnership is Carrick/Cleverley and that’s also considered soft when it comes to physicallity.
Last time we won over there, we had a very energetic midfield duo. Anderson at his best and our mutual friend, Hargreaves.
his late goal against bolton. That was so important in the title race:

Thank you Berbatov!

bit misty. genuinely a great character and spirit, and served the club with constant dignity
Almost went with the hat trick against Liverpool, but this is beautiful http://youtu.be/_Z7VaZGEkVs
I received an email from scott the red. For a moment I thought I have won the scarf. Too bad its just a newsletter. Lolz. Keep posting the clips guys!
Class.

Costas.
you are of course correct but with our playing staff I really cant see anything any where that is going to solidify it but if we ensure that it is the only obvious weak spot of the team we can hopefully work round it.For sure Sundays team is awaited with interest by me.
easily the assist for Ronaldo vs West Ham
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeMbtY9Qkw0

1:25 goal vs chelsea
ronaldo vidic and berbatov combine for this tactical beauty.. berbatov has a small chat with vidic on what to do before ronaldo’s free kick..
vidic blocks two defenders from marking berba while berba darts in between and intercepts ronaldo’s rocket cross. simply beautiful
perfect plan, perfect timing, perfect execution
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sjs1rbVk6g
Breath-taking overhead kick against liverpool. i will never forget that moment.
Best moment by far. Assist to Ronaldo vs. West Ham. Great trick, with an end result, a goal. Absolute beauty. Probably the best bit of skill I’ve seen in a United shirt the last 5-6 years
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpVj1PduJc8
One of the best skills I ever seen from Berbatov.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TCNhWSLC_M&feature=related
United! United! United!
Without doubt, a prince who unfortunately didn’t land up working in our system. But his ability to keep the ball, more than his shooting, was on view from the first game for the club.
