The journey started at 4.30am which is earlier than anyone should ever be made to get up at. After a quick enough flight from Manchester to Amsterdam for the connecting flight to Norway, we finally paid attention to the fact our destination airport was Sandefjord, not Oslo. It was fine, there were shuttle buses outside… but they didn’t leave for another two hours. Instead of getting a bus to a train station we just waited an hour for a £20 bus that took us straight to the city and the hour and a half journey was a good opportunity to catch up on some much needed sleep.
Upon getting on the bus we learnt that Sir Alex won’t be with the team on Sunday as he has other club business to attend to. Your guess is as good as mine, although naturally all our thoughts go to Fergie hanging back in Manchester to convince Robin van Persie that we are the team for him. I read an article on the way here from an old Manchester Evening News by Stuart Brennan. The story goes that he’s a United fan, which seems very hard to believe when you read some of the stuff he comes out with. I can only assume his nonsense is a result of him swinging so far against United bias to appease the Evening Blues readers. Or he is just a blue. The headline read “Why Robin van Persie would be crazy to pick Manchester United over Manchester City”. There are arguments for and against him joining either club and most sensible fans, whether red or blue, can see these. Despite the headline, Brennan didn’t present even one reason why van Persie would be “crazy” to pick us, but claimed City were favourites.
The van Persie transfer would be a big risk for United given his injury record. Last season was the first in his career where he managed to play in more than 28 league games. That is pretty shocking. Given our financial state, you don’t want one of your top earners spending all their time in the treatment room. We saw how costly Nemanja Vidic’s absence was last season, with us eventually losing the title on goal difference, so it would be good if this season we can keep our best players fit. If he signed, van Persie would be one of our best players, without question, but will he ever recreate a season like last one? I doubt it. If there are funds available to pay a top salary, then that should go towards paying a top class midfielder, but if we do sign him, I obviously won’t be disappointed!
Tomorrow we will see Vidic back in action for the first time since December and I cannot wait. Whilst I think Jonny Evans, who is currently recovering from an operation, had a great season in Vidic’s absence, there really is no replacing the Serb. For now, he will partner Rio Ferdinand in defence, but it will be interesting to see what happens when Evans and Chris Smalling are back in contention.
I am most excited about seeing Shinji Kagawa in the flesh for the first time though. Having not spent much time watching German football, I’ve only seen bits and pieces of our new signing. He looked decent in the Far East part of the tour, with nice feet and good vision. You don’t get to be one of the best players for the German champions without having something about you.
Watching Brazil against Belarus at Old Trafford last week, I got to see the likes of Neymar, Marcelo and Oscar (and Lucas Moura for a few minutes). Neymar was a joy to watch but Chelsea have seemingly got themselves a great player there too. They’ve also added Hazard to the mix, whilst Arsenal have landed Podolski, probably Cazorla and possibly Sahin. Bringing in players like Kagawa isn’t just to try and match City’s challenge but see off the teams below us too. Let’s hope he lives up to the hype.
Off to sample what Oslo has to offer now but I will be around again tomorrow to give thoughts on the game. @r_o_m will have more regular updates.
Man Utd News 24/7
Enjoy the trip Scott and keep us posted…….
UNITED UNITED UNITED
Ole! Ole! Ole! From the land of Norway!
Interesting
Mexico!
And why do people think van persie is a risk,yh he’s had his injury thing but that’s gone now(hopefully).he is 29(can still play at the highest level for anoda 4years).he is xceptionally worldclass(his set pieces guarantees 10/15 point a season).positive wriiten all over the deal for me and at just 20m maximum,its a steal.
I just have a feeling we signing someone that hasn’t been mentioned atall..though rumours sao paolo representatives are in england to sort with united everywhere,maybe that’s why the boss stayed back..anyhow,goodluck manutd in all we do
Van Persie’s fee and wages should be spent on a world class midfielder rather.We don’t need Van Persie, we need a midfielder even Stevie Wonder can see that!
I agree with you Jay4man i think we might be in for a big surprise i just hope its a good signing
if ever Sir Alex stayed behind to complete a transfer.
Cant wait to see Rooney, Nani, Kagawa combo tomoro….watch this space
Welcome to Oslo, Scott – look forward to the shock of your life when you see the price of a pint!
I know its pre-season but brighton just beat chelsea 3-1.nothing against hazard but he was quiet ordinary against an extremely weak team led by a racist
On the combo @legend,can’t wait too.mouthwatering
Rafael playing for Brazil now….he could be playing another 2 matches after this one, so will be tired by the time we start the season….
@united.george rafael tired? Nope.i think he will be sharp and up to speed,will go straight in the team when he gets back.he is bin playing competitive football unlike the other lads
Scott hasn’t done one of these threads in a while. Some of the old heads will remember the RoM goes to Munich thread from a few years back.
Evening reds around the world,
Willie – right on the money pal, good days of reading those were, i remember that one..
I see you still got your shades on, 50 of them
Enjoy Scott. And say hi to Ole!
jay4manutd – hopefully he stays injury free! if brazil wins and GB wins, they are against each other on wednesday…rafael then can beat up on bellamy.
Is it just me or was that 2nd yellow on Honduras a little harsh?
I guess i should be the first to say that Fergie is not in Oslo and will be staying in England to take careof some business…..maybe tying up the Moura transfer
lets hope so
“SAF staying behind as he has other club business to attend to?”
Are we going to be having a suprise Monday morning? I hope so. Who?? I don’t know!
Would be pleased with RVP.
Rooney, Chico, Welbz, RVP, Valencia, Nani… Carrick , Scholes, Giggsy, Cleverly picking them out. Oh deary me! Yes please.
I wait in anticipation!
JC, yeah, Neymar made the most out of it…barely touched him, and he flops all over the ground “in pain”.
My son is in Noway a place called Lofoten and he say’s everything is as dear as fuck.If Air Alex is really staying back for some kind of signing I hope it’s neither Van Persie or Lucas.Wrong signing for us in the wrong positions imo.
Sir Alex fs.
By the way Portsmouth are left with only 2 professional players in their club..
what a pity, sad news..
Are you guys aware that Llorente is strongly linked with a move to Manchester United in the winter transfer period, after refusing to sign a contract extension with Athletic Bilbao?
- free transfer
- smaller wages
- a proven goalscorer at his peak
- younger than Rvp
- less injury prone
I sure hope these ridiculous RvP talks end!
Nice piece STR, enjoy the blonds a feast for the eye.
My 4 am piss, on Monday will be cool. I get on line watch SAF beak open a bottle of red wine and Let me know WTF is UP!
Zibster,
where the fuck have you been?
1878 hello man! I walked the little Makoata river, cool clear and clean, caught & released some nice ones. Keep 2 nice small mouth bass and had dinner.
working again, at a secure place. no cell phones. Peoples ss# and shit. post much less, hope the body holds up for a while.
SAF who will it be, RvP an FB/CB a unknown target supplied by your new anti sabotage and spy scouting network. LB Moyes on a recruiting trip of his own. Zibbie a wide body keeper????
SAF please buy RVP.. High wage or transfer fee don’t concern me.. We’re the richest club.
Oslo – Sandefjord. Must be Ryan air. Shit airline!
Saw Raphael combine with Moura on the right. Is this the future for United?

Saw Raphael combine with Moura on the right. Is this the future for United?
Kebab, would Sahin be good for MUFC? Anyone as well? He and Kagawa mix well.
GGMU
Grey Goose Matters Utmost!!
Watching Mayday air crash investigation,
in tears,
Take a bow Harry Gregg, beyond words to explain what he did and how he saved the lives..
no words to describe this whole episode..
@Zibbie
Haven’t seen him mate, so I can’t really comment. However, any kind of CM would be handy at this point.
Thanks, Greek guy!
Evening all
Watching women’s field hockey at the Olympics, not sure why to be honest.
As for Norway I am sure you all know that Molde lost the first leg against Basel 1 nil at home in the CL…..Gutted really, still a chance in the second leg……Come ON Ole
Ole Ole Ole
“Just landed in Oslo… missed the fresh air of Norway. #homefeeling”
- Anders Lindegaard on Twitter (@ALindegaard)
Not watched team GB at all but read great reports on Clev. I’m going to watch him tonight as it looks like we’re not adding in there yet again so its down to Clev and Scholes playing alongside Carrick.
Tree how your branches hanging?
Giggs12, !st game he was out wide more, then he was moved inside with the lad from Swansea. Clev in those 2 games top class a 20 million lbs buy type. And 24% British premium.
Strootman should be signed a quality player with strength vision and guile.
Giggs12 the FB #2 look a player as well.
No giggs in the starting lineup, but cleverly is there…go GB!
Taylor, Neil
Giggs12
Evening mate…………I know some folk are still sceptical about wee Thomas, not as far as I am concerned though. We saw what the lad is capable off until that cunt Davies smashed him in two. I also know there is a worry that he is injury prone but name me one player that would have survived that horrible tackle….
My Dick
Hanging just fine mate
How I wish we had Roy Keane that day against Bolton
I see people tiring to stake claim on your boy, Kagawa.
In hockey they got a thug on the bench to exact revenge on cunt!
Sat here with one of my renty mates enjoying a beer….Dear God they’re full of shit, talking to me now about fucking history of Chelsea! ha ha Had I not loved the guy I would have smashed him in two!!!
Zibbie
No one dares make a claim on Kagawa mate, he’s mine ALL MINE!
Am just wondering; are holding midfilders not being made anymore?? you know Keano kind of players? “just looking but seems can’t find one who is worthy playing for our great UNITED! We have to pray that Carrick stay fit entire season !
Capitano – LOL, keane was not a holding player, he was box to box. You mean the makelele type players
Capitano
Players like Roy Keane do not come around very often…….As I said the other day, imagine a midfield pairing of both Keane and Robbo, with Robbo having license to move forward…….Opposition teams would shit themselves at the mere sight of those two….
I also mentioned before, proper hard men in the game are a thing of the past, sadly
FITB
True that
What up ROM…..was watching countdown to kick off on mutv earlier and fergie hasnt travelled with the team to oslo for tomorrows game, had some business to attend too. I wonder what SAF is up to….can anyone shed some light on his absense?
I still feel the same today as I did yesterday – NIALL QUINN IS A CREEP
If Ramsey keeps playing the way he does we’ll see Giggs in 5 minutes.
Anyone else see that bit of skill early in from the South Korean lad then Ramsey tries it when he doesn’t need to and fails.
Awful player do not get the hype and now South Korea deservedly take the lead
the keeper should have saved that
Korea take the lead. Team GB have been just awful to watch and our boy Cleverley is hardly getting a touch of the ball.
Ramsey refuses to pass to clev whilsy looking for a Hollywood pass. He is very average at best is Ramsey. Overall I don’t think I’m out of order saying GB are wank.
NRD
I have no access to the game whatsoever……..I know wee Thomas is playing, how has he done so far? And is that idiot Pearce playing him wide?
lol
What does Twitter say guy’s? Willie, Fletch anyone???
bellamy is such a nice lad
@Giggs12Gerrard0
dont know what you are talking about. ramsey is class! sign him up
Shocking peno from ramseypops…..a game of keeper fumble thus far!
Tree odd game CB won’t give Clevs the ball, miss Giggs.
@Cedars at the moment Team GB had no shape in midfield whatsoever. They’ve just scored a penalty which was only given by what I can describe as a John Terry/Steven Taylor block and Keeper should have saved it because it was a shit penalty similar to Berba in cup semi final vs Everton.
Team GB have just got another penalty but have been shit for most this game – the commentary is equally as bad – Jonathan Pearce hasn’t got a clue – Ramsey misses with another shit penalty -game on
Sm
what a crap penalty by ramsey….even the first one he was lucky….
Redangel
Please say your taking the piss
Fortunately scored the first and wank 2nd pen
united.george – agreed, his first penalty was crap too. Never looked confident either time. God knows why Bellamy isn’t taking them.
NRD
Cheers for the update mate, sounds fucking hilarious! Safe to say come ON South Korea?
@RedAngel – if Ramsey is class then Bebe is World Player of the Year
Clev anonymous is he going to be the answer? We have built him up so much I fear he doesn’t have that magic we need. Great squad player hope he develops further.
Its obvious Redangel was taking the piss
@ Cedars – I want GB to win but there’s no humility with some if these players because it’s South Korea they think they can turn up and win and make any stupid challenged they like.
South Korea goal went through Butland – that ought to bring him down a peg or 2 – you won’t believe some of the stuff written about Butland and how good he is, he’s done fuck all!!!
@Giggs12Gerrard0
yes, i am taking the piss. I don’t judge players by penalties.
i judge them by free kicks
@Giggs12Gerrard0
I agree with you 100% about chunks. This whole TC brand and all that is way over the top. The lad had a great start to last season no about that but hasnt produced since returning from injury. Definitely a squad player and fingers crossed he develops the way we all wud like him too.
Ramsey didn’t want to kill 2 celebs so he missed a penalty. Generous lad ;D
@Giggs12 To be fair mate they need to give the ball to TC23 for him to do anything, played better in previous 2 games
@Cedars Pearce is using Ramsey as the main man in midfield and not Cleverly or Allen. The fucking bell end.
By the way, my renty mate and I are really going at it now…….He’s claiming that Terry is the best defender the PL has ever seen! He’s being serious
NRD
Fair enough, would be nice for Giggs to get a medal, he’s hardly won anything in his career!
Clev is a decent player but will never be truly special. Definitely not the long term solution to our midfield.
Whenever there’s a second pen. You should not take it. Bellamy should take responsability.
Ramsey just looked nerveous and scared for that second one. Bad call. 1-1 is a more fair result though.
Cleverley: Is allways looking for the ball and not afraid to met team mates to help them. He’s placed in the middle of the park and is having his eyes looking at the team and play. You can see he’s an intelligent team player.
TOO BAD he’s playing with some egoes like Ramsey. Also bad to se Allen lying too deep and that GBs forwards aren’t into it. Korea are playing with 11 Ji Su Parks. GB are lucky to be even.
TC23 howeverf looks class. If they lose today, he’s ready for Everton.
cleverley’s haircut is so sexy
but ando’s and david’s are unbeatable
How on earth is Pearce a football manager? Hard as nails as a player no doubt but he comes across as being daft as fuck
TC23 is cringe worthy how about Clev or Cleverly, I am fearing he is believing his own hype also.
Hmm I smell a bad fish
Giggs12
Stop laying into me wee Thomas other wise I will start tearing your Nani to shreds! ha ha
Cedars:
Here’s the list you can show your rent mate

He clearly wants to be known as TC23 with his proms Donna attitude so that’s what I’m calling him
Cedars all due respect your mate shouldn’t be eating the mushrooms in the back of his garden Colin Hendry Ian Pearce Henning Berg David May all better centre halved than terry
Tom C is 22,
he aint a Ronaldo, Rooney or Messi,
I know he has got the goods to rule the midfield..
In my opinion he isnt over hyped,
give him time..
Even Scholes started to fully establish when he was 22/23,
I aint telling he is next scholesy or got the skills of Scholesy, no one has..
another 12 to 18 months, we will know what Tom C is all about,
Until then the opinions will be mixed from fans, but we cant write him off..
I certainly think he is more than a squad player..
Bad miss by tom…..should have scored…
Cedars not laying into Clev as my boy long Eric but we are setting him up for failure as we are over hyping him.
£237.7M – The overall cost of the Chelsea players who played in a 3-1 loss to Brighton in a pre-season match
Citeh will take a close look at that..
Lot of discussion on another site regarding Sahin and the facr Mourinho wants rid.That’s interesting a bona fide midfielder
Miss? The pass wasn’t accurate.
is it me or just nobody wants to pass to Cleverley?
The team that wouldn’t die
Cheers pal, oh do not worry about me, I am ripping him apart!
NRD
Ha ha, I know mate……We do enjoy our banter though….Sadly he is a proper renty, been so for over 30 years
@Cedars – so before the Gullit regime ask him who he think is chelski’s greatest player bet its fuckin no mark chopper harris
Was a pretty good cross from bellamy honestly..
Giggs needs to come on already!
NRD
Not to make you puke, but his all time favourite is Dennis Wise
TC23 is Clever for promo, Clevs .
Cedars – Actually that dont make me puke – fair play but it is indictive if the types of players that were chelski legends before the ££££. Between Greaves and Drogba chelski’s best centre forward was Dean Windass or John Spencer
NRD
Dixon wasn’t half bad either, agreed on Spencer…….. On Dennis Wise, I keep reminding my mate how Cantona waived him off like a mosquito during the 94 Cup final……..If you recall, Cantona was about to take a penalty and Wise was trying to put him off
Jes Ennis got a gold at the Olympics…
And a pearl medal from me….
@Cedars I do indeed Cantona was cool you like. to be fair to Wise he bet him cash he would miss and paid up after I do remember reading that somewhere. If that were to happen now damn FA would strip us of the FA Cup. Wouldnt surprise me if they have lawyers working on it now to strip us restropectively.
NRD – you’re forgetting Peter Osgood, the king of Stamford Bridge.
Good post. Enjoy the trip!
Cheers! I will!
NRD (Cedars)
Kerry Dixon used to score 20 odd goals.
But other than that Chelsea were a joke for decades.
Fair play to anyone who supported them before the mafia guy came. You don’t abanodon your team for ANY reason. But it’s sad to see City fans today supporting oil money and non democracy.
Fred the chelski fans of my age dont know who he is so why should I.
Mark Stein now he was a quality centre forward
Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Sir Ryan Giggs is taking the field.
Will probably go to penalties.
Let’s hope Ramsey don’t take another one…
Will probably go to penalties.
Let’s hope Ramsey don’t take another one…
Terry learned everything he knows from one of the all-time greats. Yes, I’m talking about Erland Johnsen.
NRD
I would not put it beyond the FA to be honest………….I do miss having feisty characters like Wise in the modern game…….Such players are a dying bread, like him or hate him that is not the issue but as I keep rambling on about this issue, today’s game is quickly becoming played by pussies
@Fred pmsl at that.
Erland Johnson hahahahaha!! Didn’t he make pen when we won 4-0 in the Fa cup final? 1994?? Bad tackle!
This year, for the first time in I don’t remeber, we will not play the Charity Shield. Normally I would hope (almost) any team would beat City. But this year I have a “problem” (obviously the dippers are not in a martch like this)
Who would you rather want to lose?
€H£L$KI or €ITY??????????????????
I can’t really tell. Cholera or pest?

Right, I am gonna allow my mate to make a post using my moniker as creating an ID his post may not come through…………His name is Peter so here it goes, handing the laptop over to him
——————————————————————————————————————————————–
Good evening followers of Man Utd, just wanted to say that I love the banter on here and your friend Cedars is mad! By the way, hope you guys are up for the challenge next season. The title is coming home to the Bridge
My god, rmsey is shit. So slow, cant think and cant dribble. Terrible i ttell you. Allen is going to be another scapegoat for looserfools. Park chu young is a soory case. Simply poor. Sturridge is a decent player.
Bridge over the River Delusion?
Cedars, tell Mr. Birdy num num to piss off….. Title is going to the bridge… My arse!!! .
MG
Why hello my friend, deluded indeed……..Last and only time am I allowing him spat shit using my name! We are having a good laugh though
Evening Cedars
Tell em all we want our trophy back
Fucking Cedars… Letting that deluded numpty on here… shame on you
Coming home? Cheeky bugger.
Mr Bee
He’s funny as fuck though, was doing my head in to post!
Giggs having a shocker. That free kick to noone had me laughing. There was a good rin then a very poor pass. Hopes he leaves that form in cardiff. Clevs looks like a hard worker.
Usually I refrain from talking nicely to opposition fans on here but as you are a friend of Cedars I will make an exception.
Hi Peter I welcome the challenge means you lot wont roll over and die when you play cit-eh
Should have let Giggs take that free kick.
Penalties time.
Best of English to Sir Giggsy and “The Brand”.
NRD
Oh do not hold back mate, rip him to shreds, just like I am doing now! ha ha ha
We’re doing tequila shots, gonna get him wasted then chuck him over the balcony! ha ha
Ramsey to take a Pirlo-style penalty kick?
Ronaldo should take the first penalty
YRES CLEVERLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great exercise for the CL final in 2013!
in your face! nice from cleverley
gotta say, that keeper is a badass
Clevz scores. Nice one.
Nice penalty from that pub player, whoever he is.
GIGGSYYYYYY!
Get the fuck in.
GIGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GIGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cracking penalty by that Korean lad. Respect.
Knew Sturridge would miss, KNEW IT.
Thanks chelsea….
Cedars tell your Chelsea mate that one of his mob just blew Team GB’s Olympic dream.
Fucking useless Sturridge you shit rent boy bet you would have finished it for chelski. Come on Japan!!!
What is it with all these stupid cunts that stop start penalty runs… Sturridge…you complete and utter fucking cunt
Nice one sturridge, you wanker!!!
Fred
Sturridge? We do not have the game on telly………More reasons to rip the fucker to shreds
Thank you very much Sturridge for making Cleverley ready for the Everton match. Was that a set up?
WELL, IT WAS REALLY BAD PEN!
Cleverley and Giggs did the job.
Ofcourse Giggs should have taken the last Struuridge is a Chlesea Elite squad developement player.
Blame it on Pearce.
Who cares
Would have gotten knocked out by Brazil anyway. At least out lads did what they could. It’s Ramsey’s fault!
Off topic…
That Denise Lewis … Fuck me … What a babe… Wonder if she fancies some Bee flavoured bollock yoghurt
knew sturridge was overrated…
ah well, at least ramsey and sturridge will be back at their clubs. now they can fuck up arsenal & chelsea’s season as quick as possible
Thanks chelsea? More like a tag team of le arse too. Ramsey missing that terrible penalty and refusing to pass to Clevs more often would have made pens a moot point.
At least Giggs and Cleverley are coming home.
Sturridge you absolute plank. When has a keeper ever fallen for that trick? I can’t recall any instances.
Is it me or is Sturridge just full of himself…first he take the freekick off Giggsy and then he thinks his Ronaldo when taking his pen…bigtime ass!!
Not the pens again !!! will it ever change
Once again cocky attitude has cost GB. Pearce is a shit managet
Mr Bee
Did you really need to say ‘off topic’ When on earth were you on topic you daft old fart! ha ha ha
Was really impressed with Cleverleys and Giggs pens!
In 2008 I was a nerveous wreck. Coud not enjoy the quality of Anbderson and Nanis pens. Was running WILD through the garden when Terry OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS had a small slip up.
Tonight meant nothing. But good to see Clev give it all and deliver at a stage.
Giggsy Do not worry. You have a few medals that are more heavy….
Proud to be British what a night. Loving the Olympics
Ryan7 – Spot on. Ramsey’s penalties were both garbage. Always said he was a little shithead. Why oh why was Captain Bellendme not on spot kick duty? He surely would have buried them both and GB would have been home and hosed in 90 minutes.
On the upside, no knighthoods for Stuart Pearce and Craig Bellamy.
Have not seen mini me here for a while, wonder where the fucking freak is
OMG imagine that
SIR Stuart Pearce
Sir Craig…………..I can NOT utter those words!!!!!!!!
NEVER EVER let a chelski cunt take the 5th penalty.
ENJOY NORWAY SCOTT. dammit I cannot wait to see our senior boys with KAGAWA tomorrow. Hopefully a win with some lovely football.
CJ7 – too right. Also that chance towards the end of the game when he tried to curl an impossible shot into the far corner rather than just pass to one of the other GB players in and around the box. Went out for a throw-in by the corner flag I think. Total Billy Big-Bollocks and his shit penalty proved it.
That said, I won’t scapegoat the lad as I’ve seen our players on the receiving end of that treatment enough times to know how shitty it is. Chin up Danny Sturridge and well done to the GB team who defied all expectations with some gutsy displays. Hope Brazil win the gold. Come on Rafa!
NRD
Long may it continue I say…………..Laying into Pete like there’s no tomorrow
Sturridge….. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Terry has taught you well hasn’t he? LMFAOOOOO.
The lads coming home after a well worth experience, specially for tc23
He’s coming and he’s looking sharp and ready to step it up into the first team at united
Well taken penalty, but sturridge blew everything, he’s soo used to losing wot a focking moron
I’m about d fact that the boys are well on their way back home, and thank gosh injury free.
Evening folks
Do not worry about it Danny lad, your CLLC will surely give you comforting words when you get back to that stink that is the Bridge
Ha ha ha I spoke to soon!
At least Giggsy and Tom both scored. It’s the first time I’ve bothered watching GB and they get knocked out.
Anyway I’m off out to hang an effigy of Daniel Sturridge from the nearest lamppost.
On topic I was in Norway last year and it cost nearly a tenner a pint so I doubt StR will be having too many tonight.
The twat showed the keeper where he was going to place on top of that gave the keeper time to cover the spot
That’s why I say that sturridge was utterly garbage there, that was unprofessional
The keeper didn’t have to guess that one
Fuck!!!
I was enjoying the spirit that this TGB has
Cedars – you know me usually not patriotic but not this time going out hurt and its because if those cunts Ramsey & Sturridge.
Both can fuck off especially Ramsey the useless waste of sperm.
If one if our boys haf missed….well you know the rest.
They lost because had one eye on Brazil, cocky cunts not surprised when you have a cowboy builder as a manager
A tenner a pint? Fuck me sideways, go to Thailand, you can get 6 pints for that and a shag
Haha cedars
You missed me, didn’t you?
NRD
Cowboy builder as a manager! ha ha ha pissing my self
England/Britain will start winning penalties when andy carroll becomes a world class player. Tick tack tock.
911
Not really, but smart of you to know I meant you when I used the word freak……….I already told you before never to address me again
Just glad no united player missed a penalty and we had only two players in the squad. Cleverly had a mixed game, he’ll still come out of this tournament with experience. I still want him to be more authoritative and commanding games though, needs to exert himself more.
How good were Korea’s pens though?
I think the best penalty shoot-out I’ve ever seen, in terms of overall quality of the penalty kicks*, has to be this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odADLL1u36M England v Germany, Euro ’96.
*Excluding Gareth Southgate’s abysmal effort of course.
Fred
I’m not really trying to slag him off think he did a pretty good job up on his own on front…but you could once again see the ego thing come into play(same as with England).Liked the runs Clevs made into the box…he really came alive when Giggsy came on.Cant really comment on their tournament on a whole this is my first game watchin team GB
NRD – Best line i’ve read on here “Cowboy builder” Hahahahaha.
Fred
I take offence to that mate………Southgate as well Andy Townsend were both world class players and even better TV pundits
On a serious note, what a pair of stupid and pathetic cunts
Blog stalkers. Kebabs is a monster of a Titanic type. A Cunt who is a 3 headed clitoris
RVP will not be joining us and neither will Lucas Moura.
Reading Pienaars interview….looks like the Baines deal is being thrashed out at this moment. Baines will be a huge loss for Everton and I hope they replace him. I don’t care about the price tag on Baines, we do need him, if he can up his game and become a reliable left back for United….we’ll never complain about the price tag.
Look at Carrick, after 5 years, Im pretty sure his price tag has been justified, Baines has the opportunity to do the same and some do not rate him but imo he’s bit like Red Nev reliablity-wise….not the best but not a flipping liability.
Evra is too much of a problem defensively and shows no signs of improvement. Brady is not suitable cover, if this was Evra in his prime I would be fine with it, but Paddy is heavily declining. All he has left to his game is the ability to move forward with the ball. Paddy needs someone to oust him or to push him into a left midfielder role, or this should be Evra’s last year and Baines should be allowed a year to bed in.
We have to prioritise a left back over Centre Mid now strangely because numbers and quality are short down the left.
Wow, I fell threatened
Am I ever allowed to answer to your posts???
Feel
Watch the Japan game earlier and think they are a decent unit. South Korea as well…really good when representing their countries…respect each other as players and no egos in the team.
Didn’t see the penalties so I can’t comment on their quality. But whether it’s England or Great Britain, you have to admire the consistency. Someone will always find a way to fuck it up.
Tom played 120 minuted and scored the penalty. Looks like he’s ready for the new season.
As for UNited, the Mail once again we are closing in on Moura.
If we are in the market for a striker we should be looking at the likes of;
Lewandowski -(Next summer), Llorente or Huntlaar….however RVP is a fantasy buy that could potentially give us 3 years.
Overall I think we should be in the market for a Centre Forward, we have young prospects and kagawa up front.
911
Stop being daft, how can I threaten you over a blog? I am merely saying do not address me any more………..Since your pathetic attack on Giggs12 you have become nothing more than an insect to me…
Capiche?
Post away, just leave me out of your posts
From reading the emotional comments on here, you’d actually think the GB team actually had any chance of ever winning penalty kicks or any tournament for that matter after so many years of losing. Get used to it.
United to splash £50m on Moura and Van Persie as Glazers send a signal
By BOB CASS

Papii – wow, here I am hoping that Sir Alex’s “club business” is RVP or Lucas and you have to remind me that it’s more likely to be Leighton crappy Baines. I forgot we were even in for him. Talk about coming back down to Earth with a thud.
Ta ta everyone, me mate has passed out ha ha ha ha……Best I tuck him in
Bob Crass putting up the smokescreen for his old mate Fergie. This confirms that Baines will be our final summer signing.
Night Cedars!
Cedars
Alex Forrest is back I see fresh from her bowl of Rabbit stew. How is your Bunny?
Cheers Fred Haha! In Fergie we trust
Seems like I have been making a name for myself again……
Baines deal to be wrapped up I reckon and that will be us.
Even after my apology you still detest me?
K, let’s leave it right there, I’ll post away
But that shouldn’t be the only reason for you to treat me tha way
But this is a gigantic opportunity to interact to your guys, either way is fine for me as long as we speak the same language which is: MAN UTD
Moving on….
Now watching a delayed match egypt vs japan
Let me tell, I’m only watching it just because its being played at old trafford
Old trafford looking all amazing by the way on a sunny day in manchester!!!!
Fergies stayed behind to seal the deal with Lucas Moura and try and get Robin Van Persie to come to us. HOPEFULLY THIS IS TRUE!!!!!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2183770/Manchester-United-splash-50m-Lucas-Moura-Robin-Van-Persie-Glazers-send-signal.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
Now then Fred, it may not be that bad. Who’s to say Fergie isn’t finalizing the deal to bring Heskey at Old Trafford?
Jimmy James
She gave me nightmares mate, especially whenever I dated a new girl!
Right that’s it
Night all
Night!
Time ringing bells
Gotta go chat l8er
Soo chuffed that I’m gonna see united play tomorrow
Bye-bye folks
Me pissing off
not sure about this but the gaffer’s chief cheerleader, Bob Cass, is saying we’ve agreed a deal with Sao Paulo and that’s why he stayed behind.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2183770/Manchester-United-splash-50m-Lucas-Moura-Robin-Van-Persie-Glazers-send-signal.html
And it really really could happen, world domination me thinks. As Hal would say some thing wonderful is going to happen
Costas – ha! More chance of us signing his former England strike partner, Michael Owen. I wonder whatever happened to that guy… is he still at Newcastle?
Dazbomber – you beauty.
Fred –
Ive been championing Beens for a while hope it happens.
Played golf to day at 2-30 in the afternoon the greens were full of ice , Manchester weather
Why does that 911 think that others wish to converse with him… Banal attitude
Cedars.. If your mate has passed out … Take the chance and tattoo MUFC on his blue rentboy arse….serve him right
You have a sick sense of humour, Papii. Very sick indeed.
Hahaha, nice one Tony.
Come on now Daz Da Bomb! Spill the Baines!
Fuck RVPlease! If we offer some moura money, we can attain Matt Lucas! Full slap head, that he is…
Willie – from what I understand, Sir Alex has faxed Van Persie a great contract offer, now he’s just waiting for RVP to RSVP.
Think i’m just gonna let SAF decide on the players he wants to sign…just get so mad at fans who pretend to know better than him…but then again i’m one of those who thinks everyone is entitled to their opinion. Besides when i started supporting ManUtd ,i wanted SAF too sign almost every player i liked ,only when i started to really learn more about the club and how the great man works i realized thats not the way forward. SAF very rarely sign players ,without making sure they are firstly UTD quality and secondly would fit into the team. I remember him once said that they sometimes scout players for years ,before making a move.Of course he is human and also makes mistakes…but the good by far outweighs the bad.These days i rarely get excited when reading in the media that UTD are being linked with another superstar…especially if its from one of those many unreliable sources.
United are closing in on the signing of RVP. Liverpool are close to signing BNP.
Fred –
CJ7 – I have read that when Sir Alex (back then just plain old Alex) was interested in signing Chris Sutton from Norwich, he hired a private snoop to watch Sutton’s every move to make sure he didn’t have any undesirable habits away from the pitch! Well we never signed the bugger, so goodness knows what he was getting up to in his personal life at the time…
Is there any truth in this RVP stuff or is everyone mentally masturbating?
Ok.
According to: we fail, and we fail and we Daily Fayl again and again and aooooooooooooooopss….
Well see the headlies for yourselves.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/index.html
@Notorious
Everyone’s mentally masturbating mate. Apart from Cedars. He’s maturbating both mentally and physically.
Bob Cass speculates that both deals will be tied up soon. At the same time, the Mirror says RVP might stay at Arsenal after all…
@Fred
Owen at United? How could that ever happen?
Lol Fred
Gotta love Sir Alex…i can tell you this ,if he really like a certain player he will try his best to get the signature if he thinks theirs a chance.
NRD – if you want to protect your sanity, you probably shouldn’t place your hopes on van persie turning up. Robin hood has more chance of returning all his stolen goods than van persie signing.
Be afraid Glazers, be very afraid. Stoke are currently wooing football lovers in the United States with their pre-season summer spectacular (playing to packed stadiums of screaming Stoke-maniacs, no doubt.) Now I’m worried that United may lose ground to “The Potters” if we don’t go back to the US next summer. It might even be a case of trying to salvage the handful of Americans who haven’t already been seduced by Tony Pulis’s brand of sexy football. Not only that, but could Stoke’s assault on the US market have negative repercussions on the IPO I wonder?
GB go out, people believe the RVP rumours because of the Daily Fail and to top it all off Fred has to mention Stoke.
I’m out of here before anything goes wrong.
Night ROM.
RVP isn’t a realistic signing for United. His injury record isn’t worth the reported fee we’d have to pay. And it would stunt Welbeck’s and Hernandez chances too. Moura at least has the potential to grow into a top player. His overall cost would be worth the hassle, of getting a fee sorted. Some might disagree about my opinion on Van Persie, but as ever, I don’t care! Shades on….
Berbatov > Van Judas
Berbatov > Van Judas
We kicked major ass on Saturday! Jess Ennis for PM!
You’ve been wrong before Willie (remember championing the signing of James Milner?) and you’re wrong this time too. RVP deal was agreed months ago, and will be finalised this week.
http://topicstock.pantip.com/supachalasai/topicstock/2009/08/S8249829/S8249829-22.jpg
Fred – Was that the same time you were hating on Berbatov? My memory is good, too.
Berbatov? I’ve always been one of his biggest supporters on here.
Just to clarify, Fred throws darts at Berba’s picture while singing the White Pele song.
Biggest supporters.
Hahaha!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/9453060/Manchester-United-poised-to-sign-30m-Lucas-Moura-from-Sao-Paolo.html
Interesting. Few rags will look like plums if this turns out to be BS.
Fred – I still hope we can tempt Jimmy Milner one day.
No chance Willie. He’s the jewel in City’s crown, they’d never let him leave. Besides, he’s played over 30 matches for them now so he’s already gone into their hall of fame and become a lifetime ambassador for the club.
Exciting news about Lucas! This seems like one transfer story that might actually be true!
I think the Van Persie interest is real too, but whether or not Arsenal will sell him to us is another story.
How did Steve Finan manage to get Denis Lewis that is the mystery she is fiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnneeeeee.
Big things are coming, SAF serving egg IN DA FACE!!!!!!!!!
Lucas comes from a good familial. Pops is a MUFC fan, what good man would not want his son tutored by the man. And the way the twins set up camp with familial.
Zibbie, where do you stand in the Rooney v Berbatov debate?
2012 the summer of the mid field player.
Powell
Kagawa
Sean Goss
now Lucas Moura
isn’t it ironic, don’t ya think. no CDMer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v9yUVgrmPY
Both movie star types, Berba Andy Garcia in Mombo Kings, Rooney Shrek .
LOL Zibbie. No sweat on the CDM, we already have Carrick. With Pill Jones as his understudy? And don’t forget those wild rumours linking us with Sahin and Jambalaya.
This guy from the blue side of scouserdome, just might be a player.
Avg 29 goals a year the last 3.
With 44 games a year avg for 3 years in top te games played and 29 a year for 3 # 1 in goals. Only if he was any good.
I say let him play lb, sweeper 3 games a tear to get his yellow cards on, last year he got ONLY ONE, FUCKING PISSED AT THAT!!! THIS YEAR 46 GOALS 8 ASSIST 7 YELLOWS AND AN RED!!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit, Zibbie. I had no idea Baines’s stats were so impressive.
tHE RED INJURS A pOOL FOOL OR sHITY DIDTY!
abba not a fan but something is going on.

Fred the only reason anyone showed up for those stoke match here was that they thought the Harry Potters were going to be there, instead they got Dumbledore, er Crouch…
Returning from the very first tour…
04/08/2012
Back in Manchester after spending days in South Africa and Shanghai.
I’ve been working on my training and tackling against “boxes” from Dortmund.
Yes, my new flat is still in a mess – I’ve got a lot of clothes and that is taking long time to sort out…
As for the tour, there was something new everyday and I had a lot to learn and acquire.
Not only I’ve got exposed to Manchester United as a football club, but also its culture and how the club is being operated.
I visited two countries that are distant apart from each other. But in both countries, supporters were everywhere.
Plus, the size of security for the club and players is overwhelming and these experiences made me reassure once again that it is “the club of the club”.
Though the goal in Shanghai was a friendly match, it was good in a way that I was able to be a source of winning match and it’s going to be a good start for the up coming preseason matches. I’ll work on my training more and I will strive to secure as many goals as possible in the Premier League matches and other matches against European clubs.
Some great matches are waiting ahead.
3 matches, August 5, 8, and 11 are coming up.
Again, thank you for your continuous support from all over the world!
Shinji
http://www.kagawashinji.com/english/2012/08/04/returning-from-the-very-first-tour/
LOL nice one JC! I was going to ask Zibbie how Stoke’s “charm offensive” was going. I imagine it’s pretty big news that one of the greatest football teams on the planet is visiting the US. Wall to wall coverage on all the news and sports channels, right?
Zibbie – Knowing me, knowing you.
Awesome ” the club of the club”.
the club of the club”.
the club of the club”.
the club of the club”.
the club of the club”.
the club of the club”.
Nevermind who would want to watch them, who the fuck would even want to play them?
Stoke City Tour of Destruction 2012: we aim to maim or cripple at least one player from each team we play. Book your tickets now!
Manchester United: The club of the club.
I like the Stokes of the PL, one of the reasons the PL caught my eye. Make it there, 1st year circle wagons this is how we stay up this year then add some footballers to the rugby types, and a couple more the next year. Pulis is a wonder.
I hate them Zibbie. I hope they go back where they came from and never return. Munich-chanting scum.
Game in 12 hours.
I now offer an alternate translation of Shinji’s blog entry, by entering the original Japanese text into Google translate…
Finished the first tour!
2012/08/02
South Africa finished the tour, in Shanghai, came back to Manchester!
The past few days are spent every day in practice while encouraging, are busy to pick up the new house.
Is moving away, time will be taken quite so many clothes ….
The tour was the absorption of new things every day.
I was able to see not only as a football team Manchester United, also other parts of the mechanism of soccer as a team, and style will be.
This time, I visited each other far away country called South Africa and China, was filled to the delight of supporters in both countries and cities.
Also, look at the scale of the security surrounding the team and players,
Literally “Knowing that everyone, big clubs worldwide,” and I Oh, I realized in the body once again became a member of the team.
I think in Shanghai, but the goal was the goal in a friendly match, meaning that it was visible to publish the result was good, now encouraging towards the pre-season. I think the future is if you can practice repeatedly, against the team of Premier League and Europe, we scored a goal.
The future “great game” is waiting for you.
August 5, 8, the game has been waiting 11 days and three in a row. Fans around the world, support, thank you!
shinji
Cool, me to this year then Go Norwich there green and gold
12 hours? Wow Zibbie, I’d better go to bed. Clashes with the Olympic tennis final too. Maybe I’ll watch both simultaneously.
Last year I was way ahead of the curve (as per usual) in predicting Blackburn’s relegation. Now I bring you the shock revelation of who will be relegated in 2012/13:
Reading
Southampton
West Ham
Powell in 2 years will be a hand full. Late runs to top of the box, and can score from there. SAF has him in the 1st team straight on. Kagawa, say in 3 years from now entering his prime, Cleves, Powell, Lucas, TV7 and Young as Rooney 29 wow… Tunni 23, Jones 23 Petrucci, Lingard and Cole. who will make the fun.
Sleep well.
Stoke is in the US? did not even know that…..
3 weeks, 3 games for Young Welbeck and Rooney to get a feel for Kagawa, and Clevs and Giggs now will have 2 week and 2 games to get to know him. From no AMFer’s to Clevs and Andro back, Kagawa and Powell new. And the Icon true legend of the game, has played more European club games then anyone, Giggs has 15 -29 games in him at a CM role. From barren to fertile fields.
15-20,
“Clashes with the Olympic tennis final too.”
So Fred do you have your Murr-mentum t-shrt all pressed and ready to go for morning?
Sir Alex not travelling with the squad.. Rare!
Big business I feel.
1. Lucas
2. RVP
3. Lewandowski
4. Sahin
Even though, many have called for reinforcement in midfield, I really feel tt we need a good cover for Wazza. Welbz has been amazing all season, Chica will hit e heights again but minus wazza from e mix, we are pretty much less menacing. Berba will leave! I quietly hope Sir Alex gonna reunite the Dortmund players. Exciting week ahead
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/9453060/Manchester-United-poised-to-sign-30m-Lucas-Moura-from-Sao-Paolo.html
more and more reports linking us to Moura, and RVP.. kinda. SAF staying behind kinda hints more at this as well. Moura’s in the vicinity. Dunno about the RVP deal but I’m always happy when we invest in exciting youngsters.
Hopefully with the Lucas signing we’ll have 3 fantastic wingers with another potentially great winger who we can develop in our style of play.
Scholes/Anderson(fingers crossed) can partner Carrick in the centre of the pitch and we should be set. A lot of people going on about Baines but I’m still not sure. If the Gaffer sees fit then I’d be on board too because I do understand where everyone is coming from seeing as we’re not exactly stacked on the left
Not sure if the Telegraph is reporting on the The Fail or the other way around! Pretty sure the Telegraph wouldnt print anything from the the Fail so hopefully we have a player.
My ideal line up would be
—————-DDG
Raphael——Rio—-Vidic—-Evra
——————Carrick
Valencia—Moura—–Kagawa—–Nani (Young)
——————-Berba (Rooney)
I know the Berba thing wont happen but one can dream.
Morning all
As some of you may know I had a renty mate sleep over last night……..Based on the great advice of TonyBee, I actually wrote MUFC all over his face in red ink as he was passed out…….He just woke up, looked in the mirror and started swearing at me like mad! Fucking hilarious
leeds fan travelling with his parrot reaches passport control, officer asks ‘Is this animal with you’
Parrot replies ‘yes he is’
Seal that Moura transfer please. And then just get on with it.
As for RvP it’s not only about 20 mln transfer fee but his salary which is going to rise to 200k and of course his injury record. At 29 though maybe he did actually become a matured man and with that he got his injuries behind him.
Cannot wait for the 20th to be honest, not sure why but this off season has dragged on……I need my United fix, these youtube videos and season review DVD’s can only help so much…..
I want to see me Shinji in action, Little Pea scoring and celebrating like mad, Vida back at the heart of the defence, Young belting in some beauties, Wazza netting from distance again and Scholes with his ‘trade mark’ tackles and the innocent look on his face afterwards
I miss UNITED
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4472100/Darren-Fletcher-returns-to-training-with-Manchester-United.html
yoyoyoyoyo! Fletcherinho back on the training field!!! \m/
morning sunshine!
Atin
What bloody epic news of mega proportions………….Dear God, I cannot describe my feelings right now
@cedarsdevil
good morning mate thats great news if true.hopefully the sun have got that right.FUCKING FANTASTIC
ARUN
Morning pal…………Yeah I know The Sun spout shit, but why come out with something like this if its not true? Its not transfer speculation
The mere sight of Darren on the pitch again
Cedars
Man you can’t not show us a picture at least after pulling something like that!
Atin
Greaaaaaat fucking news about Darren DaMan Fletcherino but I’m still waiting on United to announce it. Don’t fucking trust that god awful paper for shit
utd_fc
Ha ha, you’re right, I should have taken a picture of him but do not forget I was wasted too! Had I have been sober I would never have done it!
As for Fletcher I have been receiving texts from friends about the news, so it seems it true…..I certainly hope so
Nothing about the news yet on the official site………..But they are lazy fuckers with their updates, further more its Sunday
just hope all this talk of lucas pending arrival has something definative about it, there’s been alot of counter claims re-garding this on and off move, but with fergies withdrawl due to ‘buisness related’ certainly intensifies the feeling something’s on the cards.
just hope fergie or phelan comes out and confirms it.that would be great news.
@BUSBY BABES
well mate brazil play there olympic semi on tuesday at old trafford.so lucas will be at old trafford on monday .thts definetely certain.its a big call from bob cass saying he is going to have a medical on monday.
Cedars
That’s a shamee. Not bigger than one being a rentboy but oh well
If it’s true than there’s nothing better! Hope he can feature again, maybe even as soon as this season? Is it too soon to dream?
This would definitely put a rest to the the “world class” centermid people have been crying out for. At least for now. Who defines “world class” players anyways? Is there a panel of “world class” footballing experts who get to decide?
Twitter is going mad aswell about the fletcher latest
Hopefully its true
Our team getting stronger and stronger
The moura rumours are mounting too, its said we have reached an agreement with the club and agent..
Since moura is a fan of man utd for a long time, he’s the one pushing for the transfer to happen
tabloids assume fergie didn’t fly along with the squad to finalise the deals, robin van persie included
Maybe he will serve as a smoke screen to take away the attention the lucas deal would get
But the ABU’s seems to have seen it coming thus covering it all
Morning all
cedars echo your sentiments m8 if fletcher is on the road back i,e light training then what great news bears has much relevance to me has vidic’s pending return, great work ethic about fletch which was clearly missed at crucial times last season
http://www.emirates247.com/sports/football/man-utd-s-xavi-returns-to-training-2012-08-05-1.470200
Did a quick google search. Apparently our ‘xavi’ is doing some light training. God I hate that twat. Arrogant little prick. He’s good at what he does, there’s no denying that but his arrogance is his worst possible trait.
Oh and for what it’s worth, I’d rather we spend money signing a youngster with obvious potential rather than a 29 year old injury prone striker with a bad attitude problem.
Sorry Cedars
seedars/ utd_fc : this is gonna be epic! Vidic and Fletcher back – Arsene’s gonna be shitting his pants at the very least
anti-football my ass!!
Busby babes
Yes mate, we have missed Fletch a lot………To me though its the sad state of affairs that kept him out, I feel for the lad and love him to bits…….He is one of our own after all
atin i couldnt agree more. fletcher has such a presence in the midfield. Him and Carrick should do well for us!
yeah being a thorough united lad, makes it even sweeter when he’s featuring and DOMINATING.
Hmm, maybe there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for Fletch after all. He still has a long way to go, but hopefully we will see him in a United shirt again.
Cedars
agree m8 health first and foremost and lets hope that will provide him with the opptunity to wear that number 24 jersey, think his absence has re-affirmed his importance to the club embodies what the club is all about, and installs the value’s fergie’s implemented
I wouldn’t read to much into Fletcher doing some ball work,we had the same scenario with Hargreaves every one thinking he was on his way back.Nah just write Fletcher of for this season and buy a replacement or we will rue the day.
What would I give to see Fletch back in the side. Give me a fit Fletch and Carrick everyday of the week backed up by the ginger prince.
Fletch, recover well my friend!
Evra has left the tour because he’s about to become a father. Congrats Pat!
Parry
couldnt agree more. If Fletch does come back this season it will be in the new year at least. My concern has always been cover for Carrick.
Yes, we have Cleverly, Ando, Scholes, Giggs and even Jones but one is stiil getting experince, one is fighting an on going fitness battle, the next two are close to 40 years old and Jones is a CB/FB. If Carrick stays fit we could get away with the 5 in support but if not, like you say, we will rue the day.
Maybe there might be some truth in the Sahin rumour, but again the lad hasnt had regular football for two years.
As versatile as he is, a fullback Jones is NOT. Rather have Smalling there if we’re playing people out of position, but first choice should always be Rafael. The lad’s passion is brilliant.
Jones might be able to cut it as one of two defensive mids but i don’t think he can cut the job alone. A younger Rio could’ve done a job there!
Oh and congrats Paddyyyy!! Love that guy.
utd-fc rio there in that role blackburn game springs to mind when he got sent off lol see what you mean though
Slow day on ROM today
It tempt me to post more….
While I was happy to sit back and scroll through
Back to momentary topic
Fletcher is a very hustling player
Opponents hate such type of players
I know that from my experience, I play street soccer and I know how its like facing player who are capable of breaking attacks
Players that are always pressurising opponent…
It would be a great boost if he could manage to get back to full fitness
He’s not the most skilled of players, but can make our team dominate possession, and threaten opponents most often with his late charges to the box
If something anderson lacks on his game its stamina
Cedars … Would have loved to see your renty mate waking up with MUFC all over his fucking chops …… Fucking good one you old bastard
And of course 911 …. you being such a fucking expert… It’s a wonder SAF doesn’t ask you for advice … Prick
Busby Babes
Oh come off it now, you’re not gonna hold him to that are youu lolll. Honestly though when Rio and Blackburn are put in the same sentence it takes me to this past season where Yakubu had made his way to goal, I was yelling at my screen for Rio to “TACKLE HIMM, TACKLE HIMMM MANNNN WHAT ARE YOU WAITINGG FORR!!”
Turns out he was waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And what a tackle it was. Right when Yakubu was about to pull the trigger in comes Rio sliding in to take it away from him leaving Yakubu in an embarrassed mess on the floor.
God damn I love that man.
911
Darren fuckking Fletcher isn’t skilled? Who the hell have you been watching? It sure isn’t Fletcherino.
I’m too good tony
But was just making my point if you loved it then good
Its a shame I’m being called names
I wonder the fucks
My sanity its at lows but I’ll make you eat your words
I’m second to mou…..
@Utd_fc
Did you even bother reading my comment??
Yeah. Basically you’re making him sound out to be some kind of muscle meat head. Oh very tough and all that but not very skillful on the ball. That’s not Fletcher.
utd-fc hold rio to that neverrr lol love the guy really composed on the ball, brings that composure to the back four has well
TonyBee
It was funny as fuck mate, after I got your idea through James I walked to his room and wrote about 5 MUFC’s on his face……..Bastard was raging all morning and could not wash the red ink off his face! Every time he swore at me I just pissed my self……..And not only that, I put him up in a room with out air conditioning, he had sweat pouring out of his ass when he woke up! ha ha ha
Glazers out
