  3. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Scott loves this US tour so much he has posted it twice!
    All meaningful comment should be posted on the previous link so that Scott can take this down when he comes to his senses!!!

    Cheers lads, Keep it Red!

  4. FULLARD says:

    i thoroughly enjoy watching these pre-season games, it was during these games at the beginning of the season that i first fell in love with Tom Cleverly. Would be good to see Pogba and/or Tunnicliffe mixing it with the first team.

    Henry said it again…

  6. Keyser Soze says:

    Credit where credit’s due, Scholesy has without a doubt been the most gifted player I’ve seen pull United’s jersey in my lifetime

  7. smartalex says:

    Keyser Soze talking to himself.

  8. Keyser Soze says:

    Meant to put last comment together with first one, but no edit.

    smartalex, how very sharp you are, son.

  9. Jeet says:

    @FletchTHEMAN: On the other hand, let us please use this post for all the meaningless posts!

  10. Jeet says:

    Balotelli’s bursting bollocks

  11. smartalex says:

    Jeet, that’s a waste!
    Your meaningless post is suited to this thread!
    Good, mate?

  12. Jeet says:

    terry and tevez total twats

  13. CedarsDevil says:

    Just read that Vidic is starting for Serbia. Hope he creates some sort of record and gets sent off after 10 seconds or so…. Keeps him fresh for the weekend

  14. CedarsDevil says:

    STR

    You have truly fucked my head in with those double posts, do something and fix it mate….

    Afternoon smartalex

  15. Briggsy says:

    Think Vidic will be playing for Serbia to get some match sharpness back, he hasn’t played for a few weeks. Better to not have him rusty for Saturday

  16. CedarsDevil says:

    Rusty Vidic > Sharp Terry

    Sorry, that was there for the taking ;-)

  17. smartalex says:

    Good afternoon CedarsDevil. Good, good mate?

    I’d prefer Vidic to be in Manchester right now.

    At least he gets to feel good about his country needing him, and the opportunity to return to United for the run in, without the additional pressure of negative feelings and press in Serbia.

  18. Costas says:

    I just hope this game doesn’t come too soon fo Vida. I have a bad feeling about tonight’s games..

    Anyone heard that Valencia played for Ecuador on Saturday and will again today? It was too soon to allow him to play for Ecuador again imo. And with all the travelling, I guess he is a doubt for Saturday just like Hernandez…

  19. CedarsDevil says:

    Double good indeed smartalex, how generous of you!

  20. Stephen says:

    Friendlies late July in the States is not an ideal senario, with the Prem starting in early August we don’t want to knacker out lads out too early.

  21. smartalex says:

    Good afternoon Costas.

    That is worrying news on Valencia. I do feel he is a sensible lad, and that he know understands how easily he can be out for a long period. I think he will keep himself within his limits. The fear for me is their annual national budgets on medical and conditioning staff for football is probably a hundred quid.

  22. TinManUnited says:

    Any fellow reds live in the Boston area planning to attend?

  23. smartalex says:

    Could CedarsDevil be a goody-two-shoes?

  24. Costas says:

    @smartalex

    Hi mate.Yeah, I agree that Antonio is a sensible player. It’s just that I disagree with him playing for Ecuador right now. It’s too soon. Good thing that we have Pak and Giggs raring to go because it looks like one of them will start this Saturday.

  25. CedarsDevil says:

    Our next 2 games in London are crucial, a win and a score draw respectively would be ideal….

    smaralex, for you me fellow RED I could be anything you want!

  26. CedarsDevil says:

    Pak? Is he a new signing?

    Just messing Costas, bored to death here my friend

  27. Devil310 says:

    NO LOS ANGELES??? WTF!!!! – Why they keep doing this to me?

  28. smartalex says:

    Costas
    Tomorrow is the anniversary of Rooney’s ankle injury sustained in the first leg against Bayern Munich, effectively changing our season. I am sure that Sir Alex has reminded everyone how close brings no cigar, drummed it into the lads, hopefully.

    CedarsDevil, be CedarsDevil! Wanted, Red and Alive!

  29. Devil310 says:

    So Welbeck will be playing tonight. Good for him…

  30. CedarsDevil says:

    Devil310

    Move your ass and go live on the East Coast you lazy clown! For United’s sake of course!

  31. willierednut says:

    The impersonator is back lads. Someone posted, using my user name. Sad state of affairs, if you have too get your kicks letting on you’re someone else.

  32. CedarsDevil says:

    Which post was that Willie? Let me tear that piece of shit apart

  33. Costas says:

    @Cedars

    Lol. Me and my typos…I understand the boredom, believe me.

    @smartalex

    Is it? I forgot about it. Rooney’s problems actually began in an international friendly a few weeks earlier. That’s why I am afraid about tonight’s games. Also, this weekend is what I’ve called in recent seasons “Kiko Macheda weekend”. ;)

  34. Costas says:

    How useless can somoene’s existence be if he resorts to posting under another person’s username?

  35. smartalex says:

    I saw that you complained of false witness on the ‘Chaos’ thread, willierednut.

    Not such a bad comment made on your behalf, perhaps the imposter was planning a slow usurpment of your personality. Wierd. And wrong. The joker could claim his practical tomfoolery now, and actually get credit for humour as some mitigation. Else StR needs to sanction the blighter, and let us know that the coast is clear.

  36. CedarsDevil says:

    Probably a shitty fan…..

  37. Devil310 says:

    @CedarsDevil – LOL….No way man! Been there done that. Lived in Boston for 5 years and had enough of 5 months of shit weather. I rather wake up at 4:30am every weekend when United play, that have to deal with that again….

  38. CedarsDevil says:

    Costas,

    Quite a funny typo buddy

  39. smartalex says:

    Costas, true that Rooney’s problem’s started earlier. Seasons are defined by the trivial matches thrust upon us. The FA are evil. I mean that. The FA are evil.

  40. CedarsDevil says:

    Devil310

    Big of you to take my comment in the spirit it was intended

  41. willierednut says:

    smartalex – Sad fucker whoever It is mate. King Eric was duped by this sad cunt.

  42. FletchTHEMAN says:

    To restate:
    Can’t help agree with those who question why California is off the list, again.
    Wonder if they just don’t want to include the Becks circus again.
    Both Chelsie (summer training at UCLA) and Madrid (Filled the Rosebowl (110K fans) last summer have shown that it is cracking market. Could invite Chichos old team to play, and pack any stadium in the entire southwest. That would solidify a growing love in between many latino fans and Uniteds young striker. Come on David Gill, get it sorted!
    Reposted from the orignial (sorry for those who are reading both, but F*ck that!)

    Jeet, Cheers mate. But mass action seems to be winning the day. Two posts it was, so two posts it is.

    Costas, Some might question posting at all. Some of these lads are clearly just mastering the written word. My view. Water under the bridge. Keep it red and try to stay stay positive.

  43. CedarsDevil says:

    The FA ARE the DEVIL………. Fuck them

  44. Zibbie says:

    Off to Chicago on July 23rd FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    WILLIE IF ZIBBIE EVER SPELLS CORECT WITH NO PUNCUATION ERRORS, YOU KNOW IT AINT ME

  45. smartalex says:

    willierednut, I sent a trojan to the imposter, and it came back infected!
    We must be dealing with a sicko.

    (Just kidding, for those who really care)

  46. Tonka Norris says:

    I’m Chicago based and very happy with the news. Would have preferred European contest for various reasons – one of which isn’t mama norris’s playing with fire adage. Ah well.

    I saw the guys here a few years ago against BMunich. That was the year they picked up Ron on the way home – decent duty free, huh?

    Was at a mall last Saturday and poked around in a Latino sports store. Apart from all the Mexican teams shirts – looking more like f1 cars advertising – they were doing a good trade in our #14 shirt. The Pea is huge here. He’ll be the star of the tour.

  47. Devil310 says:

    @Fletch – totally agree.

    Really doesn’t make any (business) sense why they won’t come. I don’t think it would create that big of a circus, definitely nothing compared with what the boys are use to in Europe, as the general population would not even recognize Rooney walking down Sunset Blvd. Becks was different for his high profile, etc, but I don’t see that as a motive NOT to come.

    I thought I could make it to the Houston (All Stars Game) last years, but airfares where going by no lower than $450…being summer time, I can expect similar fares this year. I do envy you that live close enough to OT. You’re a lucky bunch!

  48. smartalex says:

    When I got to the final question, they asked “What is the meaning of ‘onomatopoeia’?”

    Clueless and terrified, I pissed on the carpet. They all cheered! I had won!

  49. Zibbie says:

    Tonka Chicago has a huge Mexican American population. The Lil Pea must be huge there. Out side of LA Chicago is a little Mexico City.
    I saw the same BM game and look forward to a road trip from Dubuque Iowa 3 hours to tailgating at Soldier Field!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  50. the_reds says:

    The MLS All Stars is in Harrison, NJ.

    I’m so psyched it’s 1 mile away from where I live and definitely going 3 days later for the Barca game.

  51. willierednut says:

    smartalex – I’d send him a message in ball peen hammer.

    Zibbie – No one could replicate you mate lol.

  52. CedarsDevil says:

    Willie

    Is that you? Really? If not tell me

  53. willierednut says:

    Cedars – It’s me!

  54. CedarsDevil says:

    Good to know buddy… Those to claim they are ‘you’ will be severely punished

    Just unleash me

  55. willierednut says:

    Cedars – Time to bring order, to this chaos.

  56. CedarsDevil says:

    As you please my friend… Order it is

  57. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Mates, looks like STR sorted the double and this thread won.

    Willierednut HA HA HA
    ” Order ” is for the weak. Chaos is RED! Ha ha ha ha
    But Chaos requires increased diversity = in creased entropy = increased disorder.
    That said, whoever is copying you is a tool and needs to find his/her own voice, their own road.
    Maybe Scott could reprogram their moniker to be translated to WilliesTool, Ha ha ha
    Cheers.

  58. willierednut says:

    Fletch – WilliesTool? lol. Off to watch my country lads, see ya’s later.

  59. FletchTHEMAN says:

    OFF TOPIC Gazzetta de la sport is having a love fest with current and former united strikers.
    Would have to agree with the quality on that list.

    http://english.gazzetta.it/Football/29-03-2011/europe-s-strikers-80663026410.shtml

    How much crap are we to endure about transfer speculation. Still, guess it shows how much the media look and prize us. Must be nice to be a small club like Arsenal. All the silence. None of the top talent are ever linked with them. Must admit that they do need a keeper, they are beyond pathetic in that departement.

  60. T4M says:

    GGMU!

  61. smartalex says:

    Good luck willierednut! pass word eclipse.

    FletchTHEMAN, good thing you brought your all-time-classic exaggerated post over from the terminal thread, or it would be lost in the cobwebs of time.

  62. Gaurav says:

    Off topic: Dunno if this has been posted before but this is hilarious :

  63. FletchTHEMAN says:

    On Topic: here is the link to the United tour video. Can’t find it in STRs post

    http://www.manutd.com/en/Tour-2011/Tour-2011-News/2011/Mar/Reds-confirm-USA-tour.aspx

    Smartalex:
    yikes, not a fan of the US tour then. Ah well. I travel all over so meet reds all over the world. Just on a flight from WashingtonDC to Los Angeles and there was a cute Indian family with the dad sporting a fine United hat. Reds fans all over the world! Could probably sell out anywhere they bring the team, and that’s a fact! In the airport I saw a couple of really fit latina lasses one sporting a cracking United home kit, AON Chicharito 14. I love seeing it at home, but think it is special to see it popping up all over the world as well.

  64. smartalex says:

    FletchTHEMAN, I’m OK with the tour. I was just kidding around. You decided to bring your comment with you, and really I was intimating that you were vindicated. It’s great that people from every dusty lane have been touched by the great Manchester United. Love it!

  65. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Smartalex. Ah yes, too right you are. Actually had a couple of other posts on there that are now, as you say, “lost in the cobwebs of time”. More like the waste bin of obscurity. If you shout a post into a deleted blog, did ya really shout at all?

    Liked your “Farce and all” quip! Ha ha ha ha Spot on!

  66. Kings says:

    Hope we don’t have anyone sent off over there, otherwise the FA will suspend them for 3 league games for the start of next season.

  67. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Fergie commenting on how Chicharito first featured for us on the last US/Mexico tour.
    “When he scored his first goal on that tour, Paul [Scholes] turned to me and said ’25 goals’,”

    Expects that Chicho will miss half of this years tour because of commitments to the Mexican national squad and Valencia will miss all of the tour because of commitments to Ecuador.

    On the same topic, a good write up in MEN
    http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/football/manchester_united/s/1416587_manchester-united-reveal-us-tour-details

  68. pbozz says:

    Van Persie has been subbed at half time in the netherlands match so looks like he has picked up an injury as it is not a freindly game and they were only leading 1-0.

  69. Stepover16 says:

    Anyone have any further intelligence on potential sale of Park during the summer. Some stories on the internet are saying that contract talks have stalled and SAF is looking to clear some room for some new young midfield signings.

  70. smartalex says:

    Welbeck is on! Well done lad!

  71. willierednut says:

    Nicely taken goal by Gyan.

  72. smartalex says:

    england 1:1 Ghana

    Ghana deserve to win, england are shite.

  73. RedArmy_7 says:

    well done ghana!! in ur face capello!! IN UR FUCKING FACE U TWAT!!

  74. StatesideAussie says:

    Fletch … where were those comments by SAF/Scholes? Re the Gazetta article, I hope Berba doesn’t leave. I think that rumor has been fueled because his original contract is up after one more year, and no new deal has been announced yet. Normally, these things would be done by the one-year-to-go mark. So I think (hoping!) that this rumor has come from journalists simply putting “2 and 2″ together. In which case, it may be off the mark, because as I noted here previously, the club has the option to extend his contract by one year (to 2013) on its current terms without renegotiating.

    But if he does go, then I am sure it will be because the rise of Hernandez leaves him short of opportunity, and not just because he’s chasing the bucks. And in that case, good luck to him. He’s approaching the twilight of his career and can’t be expected to sit on the bench when there are other clubs who would sign him up. He has said he wants to stay and finish his career here (and in his case, I do believe he”s genuine), but if he’s not wanted, then I blame him for going. Would be a tragedy to lose him, though Hernandez is a wonderful talent. Would be just “one of those situations”, I think.

    Fuck, I hate the transfer window.

  75. Rai says:

    Stupid woman has gone and booked a ‘family meal’ for Saturday at 13:30. Of all the fuckin spiteful things to do. Never had one of these meals before now she wants to introduce it on fuckin Saturday. I couldn’t get a ticket in the away end finding it harder an harder, but fuck me that doesn’t give her the right to do that. Already told her to “fuck her meal I’m watching the match” so looks like a few nights on the sofa for me. Stupid cow.

  76. portugueseprincess says:

    Nani is God :) Great assist for Portugal’s second goal. What an assist! :)

  77. Rai says:

    Willie – he must know who he already wants, especially the GK position. I think a lot depends on what he has planned for Hargreaves/Scholes. If Hargreaves or Scholes are going he’ll replace them – if not, he might think we’re ok in the MF….who knows…he might unearth another gem who no ones heard of.

    Whatever happens with Scholes…there’ll never be another like him.

  78. Kings says:

    Anyone know if Vida is ok after the Serbia game?

  79. RedMegleeker says:

    Rai…i’ll go with her.

  80. byron1970 says:

    Vidic completed the full game for Serbia so we can all relax, provided he has no adverse reaction.

    Great to hear that the boss expects to sign some players. Man I would love it there was truth to the sneijder rumour. Just one finished article and I’d be happy then I wouldn’t care if we invested in some more youth like a Rodwell or whoever (not Henderson though, I don’t want to be stuck with a Carrick clone for the next ten years).

  81. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Glad to see that Welbeck got some minutes in the Ghana game. Think he will commit to England as Pierce seems a big fan. I feel that talk of his playing for Ghana is completely off base and only coming from Ghana. Really low class of the Ghana fans to boo Danny. No disrespect to Ghana, but England provide a much more lucrative stage.

    @Stateside Cheers. Like you said, I hate the transfer speculation. Only put up that link to De la Sport because they were talking up “great strikers” in europe and couldn’t seem to stop talking about United players or former players. But the transfer speculation seem completely idiotic.

  82. Costas says:

    Apparently Vida played for 90 minutes and Evra didn’t play at all. Can’t find any info about Antonio. Just that Ecuador drew 0-0.

    @portugueseprincess

    Nice to hear Nani is back among the assists. How long did he play for?

  83. Rai says:

    RedMegleeker – if it means I can watch the match carry on :) Although I gotta warn you, she’s got a mean left hook a few have already found out :)

  84. berbatunday says:

    @Fleththeman…….But Ghana offer less competition for space, where the fact that he is a United player guarantees him a start in every game

  85. smartalex says:

    Nice link willierednut, well, nice quote anyway: “We have certain targets in mind at the moment and two or three will be fulfilled,” said the United manager.

    Is that really you, by the way? What do I find in a pork store?

  86. fergie is the boss says:

    StatesideAussie – I do think berbs is suffering from the new policy brought in since 2008, that the age mentality of the club could see trhe club lose a quality striker like berbatov. It does not make much sense selling berbatov when he is our top goalscorer and he has not complained warming the bench.

  87. willierednut says:

    Eclipse!

  88. portugueseprincess says:

    @Costas,he played for 20mins. He came in the 2nd half and 2 mins later provided a great assist for the 2nd goal. He almost score and was really dangerous,providing good crosses.

  89. smartalex says:

    23 second video of Sir Alex presser today.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qib-s2SG_Uk

  90. smartalex says:

    Nice one willierednut!

  91. Costas says:

    @portugueseprincess

    Thanks dear. Only 20 minutes hey? That’s great. He should be quite fresh for Saturday.

  92. Costas says:

    @smartalex

    Thanks mate. That’s 20 million worth of Lescot by the way…

  93. willierednut says:

    That article says we’re after a center half. I’d thought, we’re ok in that department. A keeper and a midfielder for sure and possibly someone like Sanchez? Interesting Red Nev comments about Ashley Young, maybe he was on a scouting mission for the boss?

  94. smartalex says:

    Pathetic defending by Lescott for the Ghana equalizer. Smalling would have done better.
    If that linked article is accurate about a new centre half being required, it only makes sense if we are clear that Rio is a 50% man, like Ledley became. To burden youngsters like Smalling and Evans as first choice, is negligent in the extreme.

  95. Rai says:

    I hope we don’t get Young…Nani and Valencia are a different class to him

  96. MG says:

    On the United website Sir Alex is holding a black away shirt with Man Utd at the back during the photo shoots for the upcoming tour

    Is that going to be the new away shirt ;)

    Beats white that’s for sure – very busy writing people will just pop in and pop out for the next few days :)

    Goodnight Reds

  97. smartalex says:

    On that linked clip SAF is asked what he thinks of the possibility of facing Beckham and Henry (All-Stars). Sir Alex mischievously replies “Yeah well, we’ve got a special plan to sort Henry out, I’m bringing Roy Keane back!”

  98. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Ghana v England for Danny,

    England
    Double your salary at any prem club.
    Play for a team where there is comp for space and play in European Championships.
    Play most country games within 1-2 hours fly time of your club.
    Maybe stay a United player which won’t happen (IMO) if Danny with Ghana and the ACN

    Ghana,
    Get called up for almost every unimportant match
    Play with a bunch of lads who few have heard of.
    Have to fly for an entire day for all competitions.
    Never play for home club within 3 days of a match for country (as we see for South American and Asian players with United)
    No boost in salary from any England or European based clubs
    Lost for 1-2 months every 2 years because of the ACN
    May loose United spot because of the ACN.

  99. willierednut says:

    Rai – Same here mate. If we could get Sanchez, I’d be happy. He can play two, three positions. A bit of a diver, but that would piss off rival fans, like Ronnie did for years.

  100. smartalex says:

    56 seconds, Nike Fotball- Inside The Pro – Nani Live The Dream, motivational , no football.

  101. Rai says:

    Fletchtheman –

    Ghana -> England

  102. willierednut says:

    smartalex – Henry will be having nightmares now lol. Keano!

  103. Rai says:

    Willie – Sanchez or Sneijder I’d be chuffed with. Young won’t ever be more than a good squad player at best.

  104. smartalex says:

    The Estonian Public Broadcasting have a serious report on Serbia’s game.

    In the second half, Estonia gained momentum, applying tough midfield pressure and creating one dangerous situation after another in Serbia’s end zone. On 84 minutes, Konstantin Vassiljev finally scored 1-1 on a free kick from 35 meters around the Serbian wall.
    On 93 minutes the ball crossed the score line behind Pareiko, giving Serbia premature cause to rejoice, only to be annulled by the linesman for a scrimmage violation.

    http://news.err.ee/sports/087c5fa8-c7f3-42bc-92c8-4918222d8e99

  105. smartalex says:

    In another report, the only mention of Vidic was that he improved the Serbian defense.
    Serbia coach Vladimir Petrovic praised Estonia’s performance
    “Estonia can definitely create some confusion in our group. It may indeed surprise us all,”

    With scrimmage violation and premature annulments, there’s plenty of confusion already.

  106. StatesideAussie says:

    It will be interesting to see if the “targets” SAF alluded to are established players or more “promising youngsters”. I am all on board with the youth policy but with Giggs and the Ginger Ninja winding down, and plenty of very good (but very young) talent about to emerge from the academy, I would really like to see us get someone experienced in the midfield. I think we sorted for strikers, tbh. Goalie is an obvious one. I was a bit surprised about him mentioning central defense, though. I wish I had seen more of de Rossi. I’d like to understand more about what sort of player he is. I’ll keep an eye out on Fox Soccer for Roma matches, I know they show all that stuff and as I’m not traveling on business for a while, I may have time to watch it. He seems to be featuring big in all the rumors.

  107. StatesideAussie says:

    smartalex … vidic would improve any defense!

  108. willierednut says:

    StatesideAussie – Sir Alex didn’t mention any players, or positions. The guy who wrote the article said about a center half. Like you, I think we’re ok in that position.

  109. FletchTHEMAN says:

    I think a central issue in the defense is whether Brown is staying. If Wes leaves then I feel that we could use one more. Feel that we will never see another full season from Rio and there will always be injuries. Even this year we have had to deputize Carrick into the back 4. That is just not good enough. Finding a player that will not demand a lot of first team games and is willing to take on a role like Wes Brown will be a challenge. I do think we are thin in defense.

  110. smartalex says:

    MG asks at 22:13 ” … Sir Alex is holding … Is that going to be the new away shirt?

    The picture was taken in New Jersey, if that helps.

  111. dannysoya says:

    Video was fucking epic. Good job to the makers of that video. Also i am very happy that Fergie has said that he thinks we can get at least THREE of our transfer targets. COME ON UNITED!!! LET’S BRING 19 HOME!!!! can’t wait for the summer.

  112. dannysoya says:

    sorry not fergie… SIR ALEX :)

  113. smartalex says:

    dannysoya, I think that Fergie is a great name for Sir Alex, meant with affection.

  114. smartalex says:

    I wonder, when we meet Barcelona in DC, if we will beat them for the second time in a row.

    How much are tickets likely to be and how difficult to get hold of decent seats? I’m half tempted to jet over and get to them all.

    Great to see some of the injured players get the game time before our match.Hopefully Park isn’t to rusty when he plays.And on the Ashley Young rumors,while talented, don’t think he will add much to the first team other than proper a set-piece.Hopefully we sign a CM with excellent free-kick deliveries.About time we start to punish sides for constant infringements that, at the moment they think they can get away with.Have a feeling it is Adler for the GK position.Don’t know why.And De Rossie, if Fergie is that sure of signing players in the summer.

    i think this is an excellent article showing the fickleness of the british media and the Engeerland “supporters”.

  119. newtown_red says:

    Shit didn’t read the part where he emphasis young players.There goes my prediction.Will still stick with Adler though.Maybe Defour if has recovered from his injury.

    surprised to see that SAF is going for 2 or 3 players then these must be either very young players with potential or experienced ones, if it is later then there will be some exits/retirement this summer from our current squad
    on sneijder rumour, here is a quote I picked up from some website its already old news I guess

    “The interest from Manchester United in Sneijder is real ,” Moratti was quoted as
    saying . ” But I didn ‘t look into it . My only interest is seeing Sneijder play here for
    many more years to come. “

  121. ancha says:

    adding to fletchTheman post, these are quotes of SAF on hernandez

    “I remember Paul Scholes saying ‘boss , he ‘ll score 25 goals ‘,” said Ferguson. ” I
    said, ‘do you think so ‘. He said ‘yeah, he ‘s got the touch ‘. So we had an
    expectation that he would score .”

    “When he first came in I think it was like every other young player coming from
    another continent to English football , it ‘s not easy . So there was a settling – in
    period allowing him to develop physically . Bit- by- bit , when we were bringing him
    on and he started to perform and score these important goals , you said ‘well, his
    rest period is over , his breaking – in period is over ‘ and he has been more regular
    and his performances have improved by it and he ‘s just done absolutely
    fantastic .”

    regarding his work ethic:
    “The boy comes in every morning at nine o ‘clock , does his gym work on his own ,
    joins in with the players at ten and then , after training , he practices with some of
    the other players. He has got the determination to succeed . He ‘s got the fire
    needed to be a top player”

    I feel that in next few years he will be natural heir to the line of players at OT who got idolized by the manunited folk not just for their onfield performance but for reasons beyond that

  122. ancha says:

    Hernandez played only the first half of their match vs Venezuela which ended as 1-1, both the goals scored in second half

    Ferguson talks to ESPN about the treble, EPL, Smalling, Injuries, Chelsea, Strikers, etc…

    Danny Welbeck became the 85th player to graduate from Man United youth team to international football since World War 2

    Very impressive stat there mate. Any idea how it compares with other English clubs?

    Can the media get more pathetic than this.For fucks sake, is true sports journalism dead.Fucking Wilshire in front of Nani.Terry?.He was part of the defense that was leaking goals left right and center.

  127. newtown_red says:

    The media are really trying to get to Nani.I say to them fuck off cunts.Keep licking the arse of the likes of Nasri, Bale and Wilshire.United players don’t need the hype.They win trophies.Doesn’t matter how good or how shit they are, they will always be above everyone else.

  128. newtown_red says:

    Not in the top 20.For fucks sake.Can’t even admit that he is among the best, if not the best.As United supporters we have to learn to accept that credit will never be given credit i guess.

  129. ancha says:

    newtown_red

    that guy, Oliver holt is a.cunt of highest order, he is so immature and childish ABU, I have already used all of my abuse vocabulary on him and still I’m not satisfied with that, I think this is the same guy who did a very bitter piece on SAF and ManUtd few days back

  130. newtown_red says:

    Sorry, Ignore the last credit in my last post.Getting sleepy.

  131. CedarsDevil says:

    newtown_red

    Well said mate, the media and pundits drool and have orgasms about every player who does not play for United… They can take Nasri, Bale VDV and Wilshere and shove them up their butts ….

    What the fuck have those achieved anyway? Bale & VDV have been missing since Dec, Wilshere is just a young over hyped twat and Nasri…. Do not get me started, hailed as the next best thing since Maradona or even Pele, give me a fucking break

  132. CedarsDevil says:

    Sorry forget to say morning all true REDS………….The rest? well you know, you can go and fuck yourselves

  133. newtown_red says:

    ancha

    Mate, i understand that editors try to court controversy to sell papers, but do they have no limit.How can such a childish piece be published.Oliver Holt.Have to remember to ignore this guys articles in the future. Fucking want to shove a pen into my eyes.

  134. CedarsDevil says:

    People label us as the Red half of Manchester, I am sorry but that is completely inaccurate. For if there to be a ‘half’ then of course there needs to be another ‘half’
    When it comes to Manchester there are no halves, there is United and there is an insect, hardly a half I say or even worthy of any size to mention.

  135. newtown_red says:

    CedarsDevil says:

    Absolutely spot on. All they are operating on is the hype from the start of the season( i do appreciate that VDV and Bale are talented players who have helped their team achieve whatever the fuck they have achieved), but to be rated above Nani, taking into account the whole season, is just plain mental. And Wilshire, seriously.Talented sure.Bigger impact than Nani.Fuck no.And apart from a few individual highlights for the YouTube videos, what the fuck has he done for his team to even be considered on par with Nani.

  136. CedarsDevil says:

    newtown_red

    Nani will NEVER get his recognition from the media mate simply because he is at United. Should we really care? NO

  137. redrider says:

    Nasri,Wilshere,Bale,VdV,the dog,the cat,my neighbour’s parrot,the goat in the farm,the beef in my refrigerator,the rat in the sewers,and last but not the least, the maggot living in Holt’s ass.

  138. King Eric says:

    Morning

    newtown red – Hello mate. That Oluver Holt article is absolutely disgusting. What a snidey horrible little cunt. You only have to watch the long haired bastard on Sunday Supp to see his hatred for United. Who does he even support? Is it Stockport? What the fuck has Terry done? Nasri? How about the fact Nasri is a cheating little cunt who pulls hair. Hows about the disgraceful tackle by Carragher that he just glossys over? Pathetic journalism.

    I see the Sun once again referring to Fergie again as “Alex Ferguson”. Disrespectful tossers.

  139. smartalex says:

    newtown_red, good day. I think that we should not post links that direct traffic to ABU articles, as that is why they exist. The less people that attend such pages, the less there will be.

  140. newtown_red says:

    King Eric

    I totally agree with you mate.The lack of respect shown towards United is just petrifying.Its like we are just mid-table club trying to play with the big boys and have won fuck all.We are the biggest fucker there is.Fuck it.We will have the last laugh when we shove the 19th so far down their throat, so that when ever
    they open their god damed holes all that comes out is 19th, like the fucking puppets that they are.

  141. newtown_red says:

    smartalex

    Sorry bro.I know i shouldn’t be giving them the hits that they so clearly base their pathetic lives on.Just was overwhelmed with the garbage that they call fucking unbiased journalism.
    Probably will also ruin some of the contributors day.Again sorry about that to all those who may have visited the linked and vomited your breakfast outs.Good night.

  142. newtown_red says:

    From the South Pacific so a huge time difference.In case some of you wonder this weirdo is doing sleeping at 11 in the morning for.hehe.
