After enjoying a great spell at Sunderland in 2008, Jonny Evans came back in to the United squad and put in some really solid performances against some top teams.
However, after a couple of seasons in the first team squad, filling in whenever Rio Ferdinand or Nemanja Vidic were unable to play, Evans endured a stinker of a season last year. Too many times he was at fault for opposition goals and really seemed to struggle in the air against most opponents.
Evans has acknowledged this poor form and claimed that he has worked hard to put it right.
“Of the three seasons since I came back from Sunderland, the last one was my most difficult,” he said. “I didn’t hit the form I wanted. I went away and thought maybe I have another year, if I had another season like that I am sure the manager wouldn’t want me around. I wasn’t playing consistently to a good enough standard for Manchester United so I have gone back to basics and worked hard.”
Whilst Evans was confident the club wouldn’t sell him after one bad season, the departures of Wes Brown and John O’Shea made him realise nobody was safe.
“The manager never said anything to me and I never went to see him,” he continued. “I was pretty confident the manager wouldn’t get rid of me. I have always thought he has a bit of faith in me. Maybe you do have the odd doubt but I thought it would have been unfair if I had left, considering the two seasons I had before. Last year wasn’t a total disaster. There were times when I did feel good and others where I felt I needed that level of consistency every week. I was on holiday when I heard John and Wes were in talks with Sunderland and would be leaving. It did make me think there was room but no matter who the manager gets rid of, or signs, there are so many players who can step into so many different positions it is crazy. If you are not in his plans he will move you on. If you are here you have a great chance of being involved.”

Evans has been showing poor form of late. I’m honestly nervous as hell everytime he fills the CB role
he looks way better than last year.
If he’s that good at left back,lets play him there to give Evra some competition.afterall Evra is also not playing too well
It was a blip. When a defender starts breaking into the side, the road is bumpy more often than not. He’s played quite well so far this season. Don’t see him following Wes and JOS out of OT anytime soon. At the same time, what those 2 departures indicated, is that the days of players starting and finishing their career at OT are long gone. At least I hope that when Johny leaves the fee will be bigger than Wes’ ridiculous 1 million.
Cut him some slack – he’s coming back to his best. He was massive the year before last when he filled in for Rio. I’ll always love the lad, if not for anything else, for flooring The Great Drogbitch – one of the most memorable sights from recent United seasons.
@Danizizu: I think Fabio will do a far better job at giving Evra some competition – I do believe it will do Patrice a world of good.
I like the way he’s been playing this year, a lot stronger than last year. And @jeet – I agree, the kung fu Drobga electric shock fit was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen – brought to you by Evans
Dont worry mate, just work hard to improve and avoid causing unnecessary penalties and rush tackles. You will be fine and rem, the positions are there for the taking.
I thought he didnt play well last season but so far he has done well enough this season. He is even being picked ahead of Jones. Rio also rates him highly and I’m sure he will improve on his bleeps with experience. Finally I wish he is given a decent run but thats just my wish coz I think the confidence will do wanders to him.
These noisy ads are just offensive now. Covering half the screen?! Come off it.
Evans has been MUCH improved this season so far.
Evans has slowly been re-discovering his best form from the end of last season. I think even during the final stages of last season, especially in one of the matches agains Chelsea where he came on as a substitute, he was immense with his ability to read the game. That has only increased since the season began and he has put in sterling performances in all the matches he has played.
I’ve heard some people say that he isn’t as imposing as Vidic or Jones. However, what they fail to notice is that Evans – much like Rio – is rarely caught in a position where they need to use their superiority in strength. Vidic is an amazing physical presence and a beast when it comes to heading the ball and, when he is caught in a position to make a tackle, he usually gets them right. In contrast, Rio is rarely caught in a position where he needs to tackle. It always feels like he is one step ahead of the game and attacker in an almost psychic sense. Jonny has displayed the same qualities in these early games. I cannot tell you how much times I have watched in amazement as he has gone one step ahead of the game to make crucial interceptions or put in tackles. That is Evans’ greatest strength when compared to someone like Jones.
However, as I have always said, the more fickle-minded among us – who are waiting for the chance to pounce on a young player’s failings – are not man enough to appreciate the same players when they display their finest form. That is why I hate some of the so-called fans. Evans had one bad season where he was off-colour for most of it. This happens to the best of players including someone like Rooney who the same fans seem to have forgiven so easily. The hypocrisy displayed when it comes to players like Evans, Carrick, Berbatov, Gibson etc. is really disgusting to be honest.
Evans will prove to be critical in the great future Sir Alex has planned for us. As I said on another thread, what remains to be seen is who among the three of Jones/Evans/Smalling makes way for the eventual centreback pairing. That is the biggest question on everybody’s minds right now.
@Balaji
Top post! Your support & insight into utd players young and not so young is amazing keep them coming! True Red!
I think he doesn’t have anything to fear really. He is like a new player this season so far. As long as he keeps that up, SAF isn’t going to sell him. I mean if he was really going to be sold, I think he would have been sold before. But, SAF trusts in him and that’s why he is still at the club. And he has paid the gaffer back by putting in good performances.
Off topic, Anyone heard the rumor that we offered Borrussia Dortmund 1.5m for first option clause on Mario Goetze. I have never seen this kid play. And my friend tells me that he is only good in the German League.
I think eventualy Evans will be cover for Smalling & Jones but I really feel he has been around & done enough to deserve a run first.
@Balaji: I think Smalling is pretty much undroppable now. Even if we play one of the twins at RB, I would like to see him as one of the CBs. As far as pairings go, I believe Smalling or Evans will work better with Vida and Jones with Rio. With maturity and experience, Jones can actually become a Rio+Vida, in the sense that he has the fundamental aspects of both those players’ best parts.
@jeet, Yeah, I completely agree on Jones. At first sight, I thought he was too similar to Vidic in a physical sense. However, his performances and more importantly his ability with the ball at his feet has been similar to Rio. As you said, if he can continue in the same vein, he can definitely become some player. In fact, that is one of the main reasons why everyone feels that Jones can eventually be the perfect replacement for Roy Keane we haven’t found since he left in 2005. Though Phil considers his best position as CB and we can easily see why, it will also be interesting to see whether Sir Alex sees him as an eventualy MF enforcer.
But I think we can all agree that a pairing of Smalling/Evans will definitely not be as great as either of those with Jones. If you are looking at a strong/English defender with a more silky, tactical defender similar to Vidic/Rio, then you need to have Jones in there, since Smalling and Evans are slightly similar in that sense.
I still don’t think they can break the Rio/Vida stronghold when both are completely fit. Their experience is immense in certain games and, at least for this season, our best CB pairing will always be them. However, if Rio remains stubborn with his England hopes, and the remaining three display the same level of form, then Rio might eventually make way.
its not him am worried about right now its evra who worries me most,wonder if anyone has noticed his loss of form from last season, i expected it to wear off but it hasnt,well maybe he will regain his form
and the gotze kid…he is fabulous to say the least hope we get him,far better than wilshere

———————————————————————————————————————————-
Am I missing something, because his last few performances, including pre-season have been top-drawer, enough to keep a fit Rio Ferdinand out of the side against Arsenal. If anybody’s form has been suffering, its Evra in a defensive sense (he has been great going forward with Young)
So stop picking on him and past performances cloud your judgment. He may not have been at his best in a few performances last season, but the way he came back towards the end of last year and this year has well bodes well for the character of a young man to learn and come back for his mistakes…
Good lord you come back to the blog, and there’s still the usual trolling and bitching going on….sheesh!
Oh my god so many typos and grammar errors there its unbelievable….apologies lads!
@Balaji,
you hit the nail right on the head there. World class defenders read the game therefore don’t need to get caught out of position and are left to make last ditch tackles a la Carragher/Terry/Vidic, although all 3 are great tacklers and headerers of the ball. Reading the game isn’t there forte.
Which is why in my opinion Rio is the best defender we’ve ever had. Just compare him to the greats of the game, how many times did you see Maldini, Baresi, Nesta (during his hayday), Desailly (when he played centre half), Blanc et al, dive in to tackles, they prevent this situation from happening through their great reading of the game. That is what makes a defender world class.
Red Devil
You’re losing it mate, fact of life I’m afraid…. lol Morning my friend, hope all is well, finally back to proper football and Bolton away is always a game I look forward to….
We can applaud Evans for having the strength to stay and fight for a regular spot in order to find the form required at United. Ben left, everyone felt that showed weakness. Tomasz wants to leave, many feel that too is a sign of weakness.
Why is it that Gibson does not get some respect for wanting to stay?
Morning smartalex
Gibson is a player I have always supported however it was made public that he was leaving us even the boss said so in the summer…. I think talks broke down in the last minute with Sunderland and then of course he got injured. I will not lose respect to a player that moves on because they do not have the ability to make the high demands of playing at United which is the case with Gibson, no shame in that at all…………. Ones that annoy me are moaners and greedy fucks and Gibson certainly is not either
Glash to see John O’Shite gone though. Now we have a right back who can actually defend.
*Glad….
John O’Shite?
That is excellent support to a player who was United through and through, spilled his guts for his club, never moaned or complained and always did the job when called up on……..
Its stupid comments like these that really get under my skin……..Pathetic
@Cedars
Hello mate…Nice to see some sane voices here! You’re right maybe I am losing it a bit…these stupid fucking international weekends drive me crazy…..starved of United football for two weeks in the middle of the season with the lads in such great form….makes me sick
And to think its gonna happen all over again in October….God almighty!
@Joe
A fuck off to you too
Costas
Hello buddy…how are you?
Yeah that 1 mn fee was the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Probably Sir Alex’s way of rewarding Wes after all those years of service so he could a decent signing on fee at Sunderland.
Joe – You are drunk! Glash? O’Shite?
You never add anything to this blog, or to United. Yet here you suddenly find the time and energy to be rude about a player that Sir Alex selected 256 times. Joe – you are drunk and ugly.

Morning CedarsDevil
You mention annoying moaners and greedy fucks, and Joe arrives 2 minutes later!
You Lebanese guys really can see the future!
Another player that has to raise his game this year. the “season” everyone is gaga about is well and truly behind us. The boy has to bring the A-game we know he has or he could be getting that call from SAF
utdfc – What games have you been watching? Evans has been top drawer this season. See what I mean lads? The stick fucking Jonny gets for no reason.
Red Devil
I hear you, its bad enough waiting all summer and then they hit us with these totally meaningless internationals, matches these days that only serve to fill the greedy pockets of officials at FIFA…
smartalex
I could be wrong but this Joe fella is a dipper…… dick fuck nonetheless
Red Devil – Hello mate . Well said pal. Some fucking ignorant cunts on here. John O’shite now. Fuck me.
King Eric
A friend of mine used to tell me a saying that makes a lot of sense ‘If stupidity hurt then you would hear their screams from all corners of the earth’
Just like you buddy, ignorant cunts really get under my skin….
Cedars – Hello mate. Classic mantra. It really does get my back up. Some folk really know fuck all about Football but think they do. Arrgghh.
King Eric
Hello pal…..nice to hear from you….!
You feeling a bit nervous as parenthood comes ever closer?
John O Shite — that comment still has my blood boiling….He’s won everything thats to be won with United in club football, played in some of the biggest games and scored against all the top teams such as Arsenal and Liverpool in champions league semi-finals and title-deciders and he still cannot get the deserved respect from some on here.
Cedars must be right, he must be a dipper still seething from that goal in front of the Kop. No cunt walks alone….
There is a ‘Joe’ that comments on RoM, but he doesn’t hide his dipper status.
This cunt pretends to be a United fan.
i think everyone’s getting a bit carried away, Evans has been improving from the back end of last season, but he’s still making silly mistakes, getting caught positionally and then in his attempts at recovery, making needless fouls, like for the Walcott penalty. And it was a penalty. Those who know the rules of football will know that contact was made, and level of contact is not stipulated. Don’t give the officials a decision to make, don’t put your arms on the attacker!!
Also the criticism of Evra is well warranted, time and time again he’s being naive and lazy resulting in him being out of position and letting runners in behind him or outside him
Latest pundit fucked up joke via PLTV…..
‘Ya its unfortunate for Andy Carroll that Suarez has been in great form so he is not getting his chance’
You just could not make this shit up
Evans is improving, but he is still the weakest link in our defence, especially with high balls coming in.
Another thing, I feel he has to change his mentality. He cannot have the mindset that he has time and chances. He should be playing with the mindset that any bad game could be the end of his career with United. Just ask Taibi
Don’t know about John O’Shite, but there’s definitely a Joe O’ Shite in here.
@cleverlinho
Not saying that Evans is flawless, but his mistakes against Arsenal were primarely down to Evra and his positioning. Evans shouldn’t be one v one with Walcott twice like that.
@Red Devil
Hi mate. Hope you are well. I still feel that it was insulting to Wes. Did we even attempt to get other clubs fighting for his signature? Or did we accept the first offer that came our way? Everton were rumored to be interested and imo they were a better fit for Wes.
cleverlinho
You say to us: ‘Those who know the rules of football will know that contact was made, and level of contact is not stipulated.’
Do you ‘ know the rules of football’? Have you played football?
That penalty was extremely soft, Evans was unfortunate.
Your comments about him have been one-sided, inaccurate, and particularly unfair.
Costas
I believe Wes wanted to go to Sunderland….All the other United boys there, Brucie to look up to, O Shea going with him, big stadium and good crowd…I think he’s ok at Sunderland and it was perhaps Giles Oakley who said the other day that maybe it was a way of rewarding long timers by not playing hardball on their exit fees so that they can get signing on bonuses or good salaries elsewhere…
You’re right though, 1 mn is taking the piss…Scott fucking Dann supposedly went for 7 bastard million!!
Oh wait, so football has rules? I hope those more educated about the game would enlighten me
I don’t think that the United should sell our heroes to shit-holes that will pay us the most.
I am glad that we care for our players, even when we are selling them.
For one thing, Phil Jones and Ashley Young would not have joined United had they thought we would use them, then toss them out to the highest-bidding slave-ship passing by.
@Red Devil, Yeah, that is exactly what I argued at the time. It wasn’t a matter of money to us and never has been when it comes to player sales. As I told at the time, we would’ve let Wes go on free to Sunderland if it were possible. The fee or 1 million was merely a formality. It was not even like a change of club in reality. Wes was joining another family club and one where he would join up with familiar faces. It was a win situation for the player and the club rewarded his loyalty in that manner.
@smartalex, Walcott made the most of it in reality with his girlish dive – it wasn’t even particularly manly to see him go down like that; what a pansy. I thought the penalty was a very harsh decision, but it wasn’t particularly wrong in any sense. As far as direct letter of the law holds, a penalty was OK because there was contact, but it was very minimal compared to Arshavin’s garish fouls on the other end of the pitch. I wouldn’t have been infuriated had a simialr decision not been given for us. Of course, I am speaking like this because the shot was saved and we scored immediately. Had RVP converted it and Arsenal were able to recover, I am sure I would’ve been screaming from hilltops that it was an absolutely idiotic decision, which in reality it wasn’t.
Red Devil – Thanks mate. Yeah counting down the days now mate. Ruth is 25 weeks at present so 15 to go. Still havent fully got my swede round it yet.
Balaji
Thats what makes our club what it is…..
Bring along the games already! These stupid international weekends make me all sick and grumpy..
King Eric
Wish the mother and the child good health….
Lets hope little Eric turns out to be a true red like his old man!
Balaji – By the letter of the law, the referee can award the penalty. Of course, as you rightly mention, Arshavin should have been sent off twice, and then yellow carded, if the same letters are applied.
I can accept that we don’t get every decision, referees and rules are not computers and code. Even if they were, we’d still get mistakes (glitches) occurring.
What is frustrating, is when one-eyed so-called fans apply dubious logic to attack our players, and our supporters, with idiotic drivel.
Red Devil
Or little Erica for that matter!
King Eric
All the best my friend and get your butt down to those maternity classes, mind you when the little one arrives, everything you learned would go out the window and will be replaced by natural fatherly instincts
give him some time lads. how old is he? 23? it is just that we ve some younger players who at present form look better than him. wat we must not forget that he is the most experienced of the younger CBs at united. he is not a total fuck up. i believe all of us will be singing his praises by the end of this season.
both smalling and phil jones adventure far too much into midfield. although ilove to see both of them together but we will be punished for this against better teams. this is going to be his season.
btw if there is a weak link in defence it is evra. not so long ago he was the best LB in the world. it seems he has forgotten wat defending is about. leaving our CBs exposed time and again. his runs look beautiful but he is really wasteful when he gets near the box.
I am just a fan.
Fergie knows best.
One thing about Walcott’s penalty. It’s almost the same situation Agger found himself in with Berbatov at the cup game. And Webb (who officiated both games) gave us the penalty. Imo both were very soft penalties and I might not have given them. But that seems to be Webb’s mindset, regardless of who he gives the penalty for.
@Red Devil
Just think how much Lescott cost City, lol. Anyway mate, I hope Wes and JOS are happy with their moves and the amount of games they are playing now. Because there are a lot of things that rubbed me the wrong way about both transfers and probably still will for a long time.
@King Eric
Wow mate. I must have missed the announcement. So happy to hear about the kid on the way. All the best. I won’t suggest that you make him or her a United fan, because that much is obvious. Just make sure you keep your kid away from Talkshite.
Costas
All this talk of things rubbing on you and your recent open ‘admiration’ for Smalling would indicate a new style of sex life for you…. Nothing wrong with it of course, now just be as brave as King Eric was and come out of the closet my friend… You have our support…
Cedars
Of course…little Erica indeed….we need a companion for young Emily Jane on RoM dont we!
Costas
I know mate…I wasn’t very happy about O’Shea’s exit too to be honest…Of course if you have other reasons that Cedars seems to be suggesting then you have my full support
Hey guys, I like the way you dealt with this Joe guy, I’ ve also had lots of feuds with a lot of guys who think this player or that is shite. I respect every Utd player including Gibbo n Kuscazk. 20 Messis cant make a squad be in the know. I respect Sheasy to date for all he did for us. Rem him saving a one-on-one with Robbie Keane as a stand in GK, N THE GOAL AT THE KOP ET ALL. IF YUO ARE UNITED BE UNITED THROUGH AND THROUGH and sound or act half baked.
@ smartalex,
The referee is paid to apply the letter of the law to any given game. Remember berbatov fa cup 3rd round last year? It’s a clear penalty, so why you’re saying “have i ever played the game?” is a bit of a stupid comment really, quite ironic, considering you have the word smart in your name
It’s a soft penalty to concede, but a penalty nevertheless, but take your red tinted glasses off for a second and try to bring neutrality to the view point. If rooney gets a clip like that and gets a pen, would you still have the same viewpoint?
One can’t blame the attacker for going down considering defenders get away with murder from set pieces. If you don’t want a penalty given against you, don’t dangle the bait!
I’ve absolutely nothing against Jonny Evans, i do think he’s error prone at times, but a more than capable back up to our 1st choice centre backs. If my comments were one sided, would i have said that he reads the game well? Please try to learn how to read first, then try to read the rules of the game.
@The 2 devils
No, my new lifestyle has nothing to do with this.
I admit that I have a huge man crush on Smalling and I won’t let KE to take him away from me, but that’s different. 
@smartalex, “What is frustrating, is when one-eyed so-called fans apply dubious logic to attack our players, and our supporters, with idiotic drivel.” – I completely agree with this statement. I was more or less trying to make a decent case for the decision, that is all, but I guess you knew that already.
Here is a tip from someone who is educated enough to know what supporting Manchester United is all about. If you have beef with any of the players who are honoured to wear the shirt, then kindly fuck off and support another football club. I find it absolutely laughable that people who slate our players have the FUCKING audacity to call themselves United fans.
Joe – John O’Shite? That’s a good one you fucking bastard. Slagging off a player who gave his all to the club and scored some important goals. Ignorant scum.
@ Balaji
Top post at 13:11 in response to Smartalex, like Costas said, the penalty decision was not dissimilar to Berbatov’s in Jan nor even Evra’s in the same game. They were all soft. The last part of your comment entirely summarizes what l felt (or would have felt had Arsenal recover) and brought a sly wry.
@Balaji – yes, I did. I agree that the ref and linesman shouldn’t be faulted for that decision.
For a fan to turn it into an attack on Evans is aggravating. Perhaps footballers should wear straitjackets, then they would just fall over every time they tried anything. Arms are used for balance and redirection. Evans was NOT trying to grab Walcott, as cleverlinho would have us believe.
Kings
Top post my friend
@Balaji – that “one-eyed so-called fans apply dubious logic to attack our players, and our supporters, with idiotic drivel.” was aimed at cleverlinho, not you … and I guess you knew that already!
The ‘Joe’ that pretends to be a United fan while slating JOS is a total cunt that doesn’t support United at all, and should be thrown to the crocodiles.
The ‘Joe’ that sometimes posts on threads about liverpool, admits clearly to being a dipper, and is hated, but shouldn’t be treated as reptile food, however repulsive he may be.
Thanks lads. He is gonna be called Thomas (Tom in my view). No particular reason but when he is a teenager I can tell him he was named after the superstar Tom Cleverley!!
Joe shite u dipper. Keep you comments to your shit joe hole
Thanks Costas . You obviously find my posts boring and skip through them!! I asked you a week or two back how you were and responded to one of your posts. You never got back. As I say you must just skip through my posts!!! Only kidding mate.
Kings – Top post lad. Well said. No doubt you will get some shit from some cunt for being aggressive!!
CedarsDevil – Thanks my friend. No doubt I will get criticised for abusing people who abuse our players. I couldn’t give a shit though, because as far as I am concerned, supporting United means supporting all that is connected with the club. Let’s be honest though mate, are we really surprised by the filth that is thrown at some of our players? After all these are the same people who are shamefully begging for players who have no respect or any desire to play for United, to join the club.
King Eric – Thanks my friend. Spooky. Just said that about the possible comeback to Cedars and you posted moments before.
Kings – Ha. I know. Just noticed that mate.

———————————————————————————————————————————-
Trolling? Pretty sure all I said was that I, personally, am nervous when Evans starts at CB, yes based on his past performances. I didn’t say I hate the guy or wish he be sold because he’s good cover for when we’re down with injuries. There’s no ‘stick’ I’m giving him for anything and even I agree his penalty against arsenal was soft. I hope that he improves his form but if he doesn’t I believe we have players younger than him that are relishing a chance. There’s lots of competition and if he doesn’t up his performances he will fall behind Jones and Smalling at the rate those two are going.
On topic. Evans is hopefully our new, younger John O’Shea. Probably not as all around physically gifted, as that is a rarity in big big lads. Need some lads in a squad that are just naturally able to take long stretches on the bench and never complain. Sad as heck when Wes and John moved on, but can understand the desire to start building a younger team. And this is a very very exciting young team at the moment. Long may they shine.
Off topic
King Eric Well done to you and the misses! Top name as well. The next one can be King Jr
That being said I don’t believe he’ll be sold off.
BTW, Someone said that O’Shea played every position for us at one point or another. Is that actually true. I have seen him play mid right mid left, holding mid, every spot on the back including keeper so that would put it up to a solid 8 positions. Don’t personally recall any showing up front, but maybe in the reserves.
O’ shea was the one of the best no nonsense defenders in the squad. what the fuck are you talking about joe? i would say he wasn’t that good going forward. but criticising him for his defending is blasphemy.
we might get angry n frustrated with ur players coz we love them. but never talk shit about our players man. which club are we supporting after all?
JOS legend.
utdfc. People are only slagging Evans because he gave away a pen at a sensitive time of the match v Arse. Most on here were singing his praises for the games before that, including the Shield where he was immense. The pen was, unfortunately, similar to fouls he has given in the past and he just needs a bit more maturity not to go over the back of a lad. Strikers are only too willing to stop in their tracks and get trundled over. Evans is a top player and believe we will all be singing his praises as he gets to his late 20′s.
FletchTHEMAN
Hi buddy, there were a couple of times when O’Shea was pushed up to play as a striker. I cannot recall exactly which games but I remember very well that he did play there.
Kings – Like you said my friend you couldn’t give a shit and to be honest neither do I, let them hateful cunts do their worse……… The club, the manger, the players and the supporters have put up with crap for years now and if anything it has only made us stronger…
O’Shea playing upfront? I do remember the one time he bomb up front and did THAT chip
Fletch, for his sake I really hope he does. Cus just how Evans gave away that penalty Jones could’ve done the same in that match. But he kept his composure and applied just the right amount of pressure before backing off knowing that he could’ve conceded a penalty. And when a 19-20 year old is doing better than a 23-24 year old evans then Evans needs to step up his game if he wants a starting spot. Cus the way I see it now Jones/Smalling are in contention for Rio’s spot more than Evans. But I trust SAF in whatever choice he makes cus he’s proved time and time again that he knows best.
O’Shea played as a striker at the last part of the home match against Reading in August 2007. After Rooney did his metatarsal.
@King Eric
Ha, even you are kidding, I sincerely apologise. Usually I am not one to skip your posts, particulary if it’s directed at me. Nowdays I tend to scroll down the page pretty quick to avoid anything that doesn’t interest me, so I missed your comment.
It’s really amazing to see the red family grow. First Rai and now you. ROM is in good hands for the next few decades.

You forgot princess Maya who will be 3 years old soon…..

@Cedars
Ah of course mate. How could I? What a cutie.
Cheers Costas
You know given the age difference Maya will be the perfect guide to both the new comers
prob bit to late to be comentating about this now, just read the blog and my blood is boiling about what was said about John O Shea the man sweated blood , spilled blood,scored goals ,defended goals, played in nets, upfront,midfield waited patiently on bench until called upon and that takes a mental strength to go into any position, and any prem manager would have loved to have him on their bench. Let him now have his time to enjoy the rest of his time playing injury free hopefully and the cunt that called him names has a good weekend. NOT.
Evans has been excellent this season, that penalty given against walcott was no penalty.
@King Eric – congratulations mate!
i miss JOS so much that it hurts. it hurts more when they talk shit about our players.
Gandalf – Thanks alot mate. Appreciate that.
So well said.

Here is a tip from someone who is educated enough to know what supporting Manchester United is all about. If you have beef with any of the players who are honoured to wear the shirt, then kindly fuck off and support another football club. I find it absolutely laughable that people who slate our players have the FUCKING audacity to call themselves United fans.
Joe – John O’Shite? That’s a good one you fucking bastard. Slagging off a player who gave his all to the club and scored some important goals. Ignorant scum.
