The rumours linking Nemanja Vidic with a move to Spain were so frequent last season, with his agent umming and aahing over whether his client wanted a move to Real Madrid or not, left most United fans assuming it was a done deal. Whilst Vida repeatedly claimed he had no intention of leaving and that he wanted to see out his contract, with just a couple of years left of his current deal it appeared as though the club would accept an offer rather than wait for him to run out his deal.
Then, out of the blue, Vidic put pen to paper on a new four year contract and was later named captain. It was strange because I had more or less made my peace with the fact he was leaving. Gutted, of course, but if he wanted to leave there wasn’t much we could do about it. So to see him smiling for the cameras next to Fergie was brilliant.
This season, with Patrice Evra not looking quite the same player since the humiliation and disruption of the World Cup, there have been plenty of stories linking him with a move to sunny shores.
His agent was less coy than Vidic’s though and basically put the cards on the table. There seemed to be as much chance of Evra leaving as there was him signing a new deal.
“Either he will extend its commitment, or leave,” said Federico Pastorello. “We will sit down in the summer with Manchester United and decide whether he will extend his contract or move on. But for the moment there is nothing special to say on the situation. There has been interest, and I have read about Real Madrid but really the only official interest was from Inter Milan last summer. We had a long chat with Sir Alex Ferguson and it was decided he would stay in Manchester. His contract runs out in the summer of 2012 and there he is concentrating and focused on this season.”
A year ago, I would have dismissed all rumours as nonsense. Evra has repeatedly spoken about his love for the club and respect for the shirt. Whilst not all foreigners get it, Evra certainly appears to be a player who is fully involved in our club. He’s gone out and bought books and DVDs to learn about our past, speaks so fondly of the club and was made up to captain the team to League Cup success last season. Sadly, I’m a little more cynical these days and won’t necessarily take a player at his word, so haven’t dismissed the rumours of Paddy leaving out of hand.
However, reports from Canal+ in France tonight claim that Evra has agreed a new four year deal with United. There’s nothing on the official site yet, so it may just be rumours, but let’s keep our fingers crossed there’s some truth in this.
Man Utd News 24/7
Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaassseeee be true!
The number of Evra to Virus rumors were really high this week. Don’t know how these
so called journalists get a paycheck. Must spend all their time in poetry club making up
crap!
Patty’s more than welcome to stay. ESPECIALLY if he’s booted off the French national team.
At least the player and agent has been straight and said that they’d wait until the summer. Wouldn’t want to disrupt the player with contract negotations a la Rooney in the middle of the season. They’ll sort something out for the best in the summer. We just have to be patient.
NO NO NOOOOO, SELL EVRA!!!!!!!
BUY EBOUE!!!!
Evra is still pretty solid.
He’s got the Rooney virus this season, tho
To the tune of the Apprentice
Well Patrice Evra I have to tell you after so much consideration that you will not be sold to the mob – Evra you are hired for another four for years
It’s not about selling Evra. If a deal isn’t reached, then this summer is our last chance to get some cash for him.
Anyway, I hope the reports are true. On his day, he is the best left back in the world.
The Neviller will have had a word in his shell like, fuck the sunnier climes san here’s where its at man.
Costas,
Agreed mate. Still loads of value in him. Hope this isn’t gamesmanship. Best would be to sign an extension so he is making a bit more in wages as is befitting the times, then sell him to a club of his choosing if he really wants to go. Best for club and player. I just hope that everyone is working together on this one as Patrice has been a loyal, well spoken, and hard working player for us. Have no complaints if he wants out, as long as he does it with some class. Sometimes players want a change in scenery and if so, then so be it. He has definately earned our respect for all that he has done so far.
Costas – I agree mate. Best left back in the world on top form. Would love to see Fabio develop more, the lad has been playing all over the park in the reserves!! Been looking good in midfield!!! If he doesn’t get a shot at left back I like to see Fergie give Fabio more of a Phil Neville/John O Shea role and use him in various positions..the kids got talent
This Evra contract story is from a release from french Chanal +, and posted on goal.com.
Think we should take it with a grain of salt until verified.
Would not be too sorry if he left. This season he has been a shadow of himself and has cost us at least 4 points (Everton away and West Brom at home).
If he stays, I hope he puts this season and the French bull shit related to the WC behind him and re-captures his old form!!!
Am I the only person that thinks United currently have a stupid policy of entering contract discussions when players have only one year left on their current contracts?
It won’t be long before this backfires and someone leaves on a free transfer. We’ve come close to it a few times already!
Also I though it was Paddy E who said he loved United but was sick of Manchester to a 442 writer?
I can’t understand how many United fans have failed to support Evra this season – the man is quality, he’s been slightly off this season but fuck me he’s more than earnt the right to a bit of patience.
As for agents, those cunts are even less reliable than the media, they would sell their grandma to Wazza. In this case, if you have a player who wants to stay, of course the agent will suggest actually he might move, otherwise they’re not in a good negotiating position.
* If it is possible to be less reliable than the media. I’ve got to the stage now that when I see a paper claim United are trying to sign a certain player, I just think ‘well he’s not coming then’.
Evra wants to stay at United and nomatter what the English gutter press makes up, he does not want to join Real Madrid, they are desperate to get him out of Old Trafford simply because he is the best left-back in the world, like they was with Vidic because he is the best defender in the world. Evra loves United and wants to stay. Fabio will learn well under Evra and be ready to replace him in the future.
AlphaRS – I read that the other day, but with all the bullshit rumours circulating at the moment I wouldn’t worry too much.
The gutter press will soon be desperately making up stories trying to get Nani and Chicharito out, the 2 loves United and wll be here for a very long time but the gutter press will make up crap as they are quickly becoming 2 of the best in the world, bank on it.
We’ve only lost one game this season, so any criticism of a defender is asinine. I’d be interested in the stats, but I think given how exposed they’ve been on the road by our midfield frailties I think our defence have been superb. Again. It’s hard to say better than seasons past because of the injuries and so on, but he’s a key part of our defence, and our attack. We ought to keep great players at United and I’d say Patrice Evra is a great player. He would walk into the first team of any club in the world.
Evra is a great player. Seems really close to everyone on the team as well. I think he’ll see out his career at United. Hopefully :O
i thnk its abt money. who would blame him if he wants 2 b close 2 rooney. doubt if e virus want him though as marcelo is younger. good news if true
I hope its true always consistent… hasn’t been at his best this season but still a quality full back! When he does leave Fabio should be more then ready to take his place!
Paddy will stay. Of that I am certain. Granted his form hasn’t been great this season, but he’s at a club that wins trophies, not one that chases dreams. Spanish clubs aren’t impenetrable as we saw last night. We have a real chance of nicking a couple of trophies this year, in so far as to say potentially all 3. Agreed the point made earlier “on his day he’s the best left back in the world”.. He’ll make the right choice as the months wind down on his existing contract. We’re the most amazing club in the world – he’d be a fool not to stay.
IMO he will stay, as the volatile management of real madrid is not something to his liking, just what had happen in france ill fated WC campaign.probably real had good coach, but volatile fans and management who buy royston drenthe and not playing him and others example will surely make pat thinking. pat is a type of player who wont be happy if he is to warm the bench, even the bench in barnebeu. what his chances in dislogding marcelo as the first choice LB at real? thats why i believe pat will stay.
Done deal lads!
http://m.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/feb/18/patrice-evra-new-contract-manchester-united?cat=football&type=article
i can confirm pat will stay. I have canalplus at home and i can tell the relationship they have with french players at the premier league is unique. One day there was a tv programme where pat welcomed a journalist for a cup of tea at his home and talking about manchester united at the same time. So i can confirm this deal.
I will be very happy if he signs a new contract. He was a great servant for the team for many years.
Maybe a song or two from the crowd for Paddy might make him feel a bit more appreciated
SELL HIM! NOW! HE NEVER USES HIS RIGHT FOOT!
@talkintruth I saw those interviews on youtube, but had no idea what the fuck was going on. I wish some french person would be nice enough to sub it
Think Evra would revel in the Gareth Bale role with another left-back behind him. Hope that he stays long-term….
However, If he doesn’t, we will get a good look at a very good potential replacement in the match against Marseille – Taiwo. This guy is a monster and would fit into Ferguson’s current transfer bill – FREE. He is leaving OM this summer ….
Bah, I have no doubt that Evra will stay. He’s the type of player who won’t leave until he’s told his not needed at United.
Evra is a legend and I hope he stays.
Sincerely hope so. He’s the best left-back in the world, wouldn’t swap him for anyone.
Cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would want to join that dispicable football club (Real Madrid). They have no morales, ruin players and are so fucking boring to watch.
It’s also in the Guardian.
It really is a good news if its true but i think we will go after another full back. From what i have seen in the reserves fabio is being molded as a attacking midfielder.
@ Kings
History and money my friend!!
Nobody can deny the fact that in terms of global appeal, after United, Real come second.
For all of Barca’s success, these two clubs are ahead by a mile.
But we are a mile ahead of Real too!!!!
United till I die!
Good news. Would love him to stay and play out his best remaining years of his career with us. I have my reservations about him but he is important for us and there is no doubt about it. No one is bigger than the club but why search for the player if we have a great player already.
Interesting dilemma with Fabio right now. Someone said he plays as an attacking midfielder in reserves. We’ll see. Be patient Fabio, improve yourself and you will get the chance.
Hope so, i love pat, he is awesome!!!
urval87 – Hello my friend. Yeah I am aware of the history and the money mate, but for me personally, I find them a bore both on and off the pitch.
Nobody leaves United unless SAF wants them to or lets them go. SAF always waits until 1-1,5 years left of a contract. Nothing new there. Evra hasn’t said anything mind you, not a word. His agent is positioning him for his new contract. I expect everything to work out.
To everyone doubting Evra. He is by far the best left back in the world and in his prime. Fabio will get more games next season, as SAF begins to monitor Evra’s body and age.
urval87 – Forgot to say, we have history too mate and no matter how much money scum like Chelsea and City spend for a quick fix, that will never change. One Love, One United.
fantastic news he’s staying.Consistently our best performer and without doubt the best left back in the world.
I hate that Rooney has me doubting players like Pat nowadays.
Everyone – Costas especially
Aris did something really wonderful – mock up citys “future” line up with a 60 man squad Rooney Kaka Messi Drogba in the team and then they showed it to Gary Crook who didn’t like it – brilliant!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/feb/17/rooney-kaka-manchester-city-aris-programme
Didn’t exactly like Daniel Taylor quote
“Evra had considered leaving Old Trafford, tempted by the possibility of playing in Spain”
interesting to know whether Pat has said it personally to Daniel Taylor.
@bigphil2003 yeah. but Vida was also questioned and before Rooney’s saga.
Great news if true – Rafa, Rio, Vida, Evra gives us a great platform to build from. Just need to find EVDS and Scholesy’s replacements!
@CJ7 hope you can include Rio in the list at least for a couple of more years. But if you compare this year to previous we can hope. But after the citeh derby we have people who can do the job for us.
It will be interesting to see how Rafa copes this term in the knockout stages of the CL.
bloody sell him off. never liked small defenders anyway. get a big one like maicon.
“Michael Owen picked up a small injury during the week and is out of the Crawley game. It’s disappointing because I was keen to play him. We could risk him but there’s no point. He should be okay for Wednesday [against Marseille].
FUKIN GET INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
MEDIA ALWAYS MAKING UP BOLLOCKS STORIES
OWEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
To the tune of the great pretender….
Patrice, you’re a great defender,
You play with a smile not a frown,
You defend, you attack,
You’re the world’s best left back,
Patrice Evra, do not ever leave town,
Cos we know that you won’t let us down.
Fergie quotes:
Team news: “Michael Owen picked up a small injury during the week and is out of the Crawley game. It’s disappointing because I was keen to play him. We could risk him but there’s no point. He should be okay for Wednesday [against Marseille].
“Ji-sung Park picked up a hamstring injury in the last few minutes of training last Friday. It’s a blow because we’ve missed him [while he's been away on international duty]. He won’t be available until March now.
“Antonio [Valencia] has done a full week’s training with the Reserves. Mainly running, there hasn’t been any contact. He’s done very well. We hope he’ll join us by the end of next week.
“Rio [Ferdinand] and Jonny [Evans] are still injured.
“We’ll play all players who were involved at Southampton in the last round. Bebe will play, so will the two da Silvas, Brown, O’Shea, Chicharito. We’re strong in midfield with Anderson, Gibson and Carrick all available.”
On Crawley: “It should be an interesting game. We’ve got good experience of playing sides like Crawley having played Burton Albion and Exeter. Those games were reminders that shocks can happen, but the quality of players we’ll have on Saturday shouldn’t give us the same worry. We respect the fact that Crawley are the best non-league side for quite a while. They’re very committed and aggressive and it’ll be a tough game.”
So my predicted line up is this:
Lindegaard – Rafael, Brown, O’Shea, Fabio – Bebe, Carrick, Gibson, Anderson, Obertan – Hernandez.
@MG
I saw it last night mate. Aris have seen the future.
Lets hope the Evra contract renewal comes true as he has been excellent over last few years. This will mean we will have had him for the best years of his career.
It will also be good for Fabio to learn off him too. Expect him to get plenty of games next season to give Paddy a rest from time to time.
@Costas whats wrong with u bro??
I already posted the news about Owen!
Why do u have to be a bloody huge deal and repost it u mug!?
@max
What are you? 3 years old? News gets double posted here all the time.
Oh, did I steal your thunder? Will you cry now? Fuck out of here and go change your diapers.
go fuck yourself u fukin prick whoever u are!!!
u think u know it all…quite sad!
Do u not have a day job or do u just live on this blog??!!
Its in guardian and few papers that he has agreed a 4 year deal. I sincerely hope so. Top best left back. The best left back.
I think we can play both evra and fabio in our team.I said when the season started that i would like to see fabio playing in left sided winger role.I think fabio will become a left winger and dont be surprised if he plays for us in that position next season.
Great news re Evra and Owen…. Bloody media talking about him having played his last game for us what a load of bs
No I don’t. I live on this blog. I am a huge deal. I break all the news. There’s God, and after God, there’s me. There. Satisfied? Now that you feel proud about picking a fight behind a keyboard, you can return to mommy’s basement.
Where do you find these trolls Scott?
max- Piss off.
that was quite pathetic costas..shame!
@Cedars
I read that just last night mate. Ok, Owen gets injured more frequently than most players, but since when does a groin problem rule you out for 3 months? Lol.
@boogeyman
Please don’t mate. He is amusing.
I never knew that a piece of news belongs to someone.
I agree max. You were pathetic and should be ashamed of yourself.
@max
Whats the big deal? News gets reposted by eager fans all the time, especially here…
max
Its very noticeable that most of the time you come on here you have something nasty to say, especially about STR…. If you do not like his blog why do you bother? Alternatively if you want to be critical of him then by all means do so but do it in a constructive manner as opposed to simply calling him every bad word in the book. We all enjoy this place and most of the time we may disagree about some points but we never slag each other off. I will not get between you and Costas, whom I have immense respect for and enjoy his write ups, however you need to calm down and simply enjoy this place or just do not bother.
If the predicted line up turns out to be the one chosen I wont be to chuffed,that would be Four changes to our usual back Five,that is to many imo Thomaz must be in goal he is our number Two after all but what do I know I was thick enough to think Joe Cole would slot into our team HaH.
Ahm, we should point out that max posted 3 lines of news while I posted the entire article. So usually in these cases you say “Thanks Mr Costas for adding to my comment”.
I agree with max – GROW UP Costas
So Fergie dismissed contract extension for Pat ?
Sir Alex said that he will play all the players that started at S’oton. So I guess that means Linde. It should be a straight forward OT debut for him.
@Corea
I haven’t seen any comments from him about it. I think that when the time ia right, the club will announce the news.
@Costas
Reports originating in France suggested Evra’s contract situation had moved on, but Ferguson said: “There is nothing to report there at all.”
on menmedia.co.uk
@Corea
Oh, didn’t see that. Tough to say. Maybe they are still ironing out the details and he doesn’t want to say anything until it’s official. Either way, I have a feeling that Evra is close to renewing.
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11667_6758955,00.html
Funny read ahead of our game tomorrow……… Loved the McLeish advice! lol
@Costas of course Evra will sign the extention. I have no doubts about it. I think some money issues and bonuses still discussed and Fergie being cautious.
Evra needs a song!
Mad Max lol. I think Evra has been well below his best this season. If we’re gonna sell him, then it has to be now. If he signs a new deal, then get it sorted asap.
Stay forVERA please Pat.
KingOfStretfordEnd
Hi mate, still enjoying Georgie Bingham & Alison Bender? I know I am lol
ye i agree with max…costas grow up
cesc4official
@jack_wilshere can’t believe i had to go to get Messi’s shirt for u. U were so scared. You were MOTM so next time please ask urself!
‘Fergie Fergie tie him up’ THEN sign him up, if u have to. best LB in the world!
funny! “@cesc4official: @jack_wilshere can’t believe i had to go to get Messi’s shirt for u. U were so scared. You were MOTM so next time please ask urself!
@Corea
Shouldn’t have done that mate. No one posts info after mad max has.
@Costas – what are you talking about ????? Who is mad max ?
@Costas stop acting like a kid mate
A game of billions played by children …………FML
I am lonely lonely lonely
I am lonely lonely in my life
I am lonely lonely lonely
God help me help me to survive!
@Corea
Ah, you’ll have to read the last 30-40 comments to find the answer.
@Costas – do you honestly think i haven’t done it ?
I am risking wrath but i am perfectly good at it 
Don’t know what the big deal is. Next season Fabregas will be team mates with Messi, so he will be able to send Jack as many Messi shirts as he wants.
@Corea
Did you? Lol. Then I like your “who’s mad max?” question even more.
@Costas
Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.
Some years ago, when mr Michel Owen was a regular at anfield, i was given a english jersey with nr 10 owen at the back of it,…….
surprised as it hasnt it burned yet, i have found it my garage where my 2nd fridge is and i just droped my premade wild turkey and coke i ve mopped the floor with it……
was i right to do so or not……. thoughts
@Corea
Someone is in a singing mood, lol.
smartalex is here in spirit.
Every player is entitled to at least ONE underwhelming season, especially influential players of Evra’s quality. He was huge for us before last years heroics, and we’d be mad to let him go. Paddy still has years left at the top, so hopefully the reports on four more years are true.
Cannot belive people saying Pat has been poor most of the season. Earlier on yes he wasn’t at his best but of late he has been fucking top drawer. Xyth mate you may well not be sorry to see him go, I bloody well will be. I love Pat.
max mate you are a fucking knob. Grow up. How old are you, seriously? 15 ? All you do is come on here and lay into Scott. Fucking do one you silly cunt.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has played down reports suggesting full back Patrice Evra has agreed a new four-year deal with the Reds.
Reports originating in France suggested Evra’s contract situation had moved on, but Ferguson said: “There is nothing to report there at all.”
Evra has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid.
http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/football/manchester_united/s/1408580_ferguson_quiet_on_patrice_evra_future?all_comments=1
Corea – Hello mate. Where the hell have you been?
Fergie when asked today about Evra said “theres nothing to report” He said similar about Vidic as well.
stone – Yeah priceless that one pal. Fucking Maicon? Are you actually serious?
Can’t agree with that. He’s cost United a few goals this season. Some fans have fixated on Evans this season and forgot to mention Evras indifferent form. Top drawer lately? Really? City’s goal came from his side. He gets skinned more often, than he used too. I hope It’s a blip, but lets try and be honest.
Oh fuck me. I have stated news that Corea and Costas have already divulged. Max will be on my case!!
willie – Going forward he has been good but I agree a bit suspect at the back. He keeps drifting into the middle or not getting back quick enough . I thought aside from the goal against City he played well. Top drawer may be pushing it but his going forward has been as good as usual. Still his final ball annoys me though at times.
Not being funny but why Bebe and not Josh King? I know I ain’t Fergie but King has been superb of late. Bebe has struggled to make an impact for the reserves of late. Couple of cracking goals like. Yes I do realise they play in different positions before anyone pulls me.
King Eric, you are fucked with that mistake mate! lol
Honesty is the best policy
King Eric – On his day, he’s the best LB in Europe. I just feel his form has been suspect all season. He wonders up the pitch at times and neglects his defensive duties. I hope It’s just a blip in form, but if you look at Rafa, he’s arguably, our in form fullback.
For me it was Rooney, VDS and Evra who set the bar for us last year – they all showed world class consistency. But this year we haven’t seen the same Evra or the same Rooney. Shit Happens. All great players are allowed a blip, especially off the back of nationwide WC criticisms (French/UK Press).
Evra has been no where near his best since August, and its a testiment to his ability that some think otherwise. For those who want him gone… who the fuck do we replace him with?
Great news about Owen really pleased for him as the news rags were really making a meal of the entire episode. Amazing these “journalists” get paid for the crap they produce. As to Saturday, Fergie is right not to risk Owen as he is too valuable and there is no need. I feel sure that SAF will name a really solid defense and a couple of seniors then fill in with some of the youngsters. Fergie wants the FA cup this year and will not mess around until we have this one well in the bag.
Predictions: 7-0 RED Devils vs red devils. Should be a cracking day out for the Crowley contingent but I expect our boys to have it in the bag early.
Fabio? The other twin!
@King Eric – hey. mostly on twitter, took some time off internet for a couple of weeks as well.
Glad the precious red lads are still here.
Paul Parker – Coentrao, Batos are the obvious ones. Outside of that, there isn’t too many top LB’s in Europe. Of course, our own Fabio, will be in the mix.
if the rumors were true should’ve been an announcement no reason not to.evra’s form has been indifferent this year and unsettled players have a tendency to be distracted.one utd player last week supposedly was quoted as saying love utd hate manchester and i want to play for real,if true the only player i can think of is evra.
something i find interesting and always recurring every player utd appear to be interested in real and city seem to follow suit.recently taye talwo think sir alex went to watch him and de rossi have been strongly linked,today real madrid are interested in ? never fucking fails.
*Bastos*
Evra hasn’t been the same from the last for years for those who watch him and think with their head and not their heart thats plain to see. However his form hasn’t dipped so much to be criticised as immensely as some other players. Fergie has persisted with players who have played a lot worse and in the end form is temporary class is permanent. however if we get a big money offer for him I wouldn’t be surprised if he went, because Fabio is the future and he’s not going to hang back forever.
Ryan Giggs signed one year extension !
I pray for Paul Scholesy to do just that
@Willie – Alright mate, Fabio is his ‘understudy’ replacement and if he was thrown in now im sure he’d swim, but when I say replace Evra I mean who out there could we possibly buy to come straight into EPL and perform like Paddy did last season. IMO the answers no one mate, Paddy can’t be immediately replaced. he is truely world class. Rafa the Scrappa was a shrewd buy, he’s obvious quality, but he’s got a long way to go before “replacing” the assists and consistent performances of RedNev. For me its similar with replacing Paddy, alot of potential players could fill his shoes eventually, but if Paddy last season is the bar how many LB can show that consistency and quality? IMO its zero, so If the deal is true its brilliant news for us cos with Fabio in the wings our LB situation is sorted for the future.
Its early days but that Chelsea RB looks a decent buy for them. Would be interested to know WHO is higher in the picking order for the Brazil RB position, is it Rafa or Sideshow?
@NotoriousRedDevi – hi mate. Fabio is blatantly right-footed or am i deluded ?
And on Evra. As much as i am critical of him his absence when he wasn’t playing was felt almost every time. So no doubts he is important. But if he wanted to go and we got money for him what can you do..
Evra is having the kind of season that Vida had last year. And look how he bounced back. Once his contract deal is sorted out and he puts the problems with the national team behind (aka retire), we can look towards 2-3 big seasons from him.
@King Eric
Hi mate. Hope you are well. Bebe will probably play because Fergie will look towards a 4-3-3 formation with Bebe and Obertan flanking Hernandez. I’d like to see Joshua play at some point too.
I can just imagine Evra going to his agent, “Bonjour! Ji is here, so I’m here. Now f off and stop stirring shit. If you cause problems between Ji and me and the club, I’ll do a Rafa-chop on you.”
Giggs has signed a one year contract. Its official news that. Legend
Fabio is right footed but so was Denis Irwin I believe? Or left footed and played right back for a while. Come to think of it Irwin was class end of.
So it was Giggs who’s signed a new deal. Easy mistake to make.
@NotoriousRedDevil true that. we will have to wait and see.
@ willierednut – Well they are both black, that was the name of my ill fated band at school Ryan Giggs is black. LOL
Giggs staying for another year is a good look, he clearly still has alot to offer its just a shame we’ve had to over use him at times this year. With Valencia hopefully back to his best soon, Giggs should be used much more sparingly by the boss. Thats when we get the best out of him, he’s huge for us.
Paul Parker – There’s a risk, when you try and replace any player mate. I mentioned Coentrao and Bastos, as two players, that could replace Evra. Would they be as good as Evra, right away? No, but like all players, you need time to adjust, to any league. After all, Evra replaced Heinze, It isn’t rocket science, It’s football lol. Are you talking about Luiz? He’s looked more at home, than Torres lol.
NRD – You were in a band? Lead singer lol.
Pmsl @ a school band called “Ryans Giggs is Black”
Great news about Giggs, although expected.
Wants numbers 12 and 13 Premier League titles to push United to 20!
If Obertan stepped it up a gear we wouldn’t have to overdo it with Giggs. Although I love seeing him make a monkey out of most full backs he shouldn’t be playing week in week out. I fully expect Obertan and Bebe to play tomorrow but don’t stick either one of them front.
wonder why that band failed with a name like that
Keyboards – willierednut I wasn’t very good just stick to playing the triangle these days.
say it loud i’m black and proud
Sorry about being a condescending prick, about my Giggs post. I’m sure, the press know Giggs and Evra are two different people lol. Maybe it was about, them being both left footed lol.
Guardian reports new contract for Giggs!
you ok willie? not running a fever or anything
willie – I actually liked Heinze, but Evra was always the better theres more to his game. Also Heinze has never been world class neither for us nor Madrid. Agreed on new players taking their time settling, thats my point, if Evra is the best LB in the world what kind of club would sell him to bring in a “potential” replacement? If theres no problems and the player wants to stay, only a selling club would cash in on a bird in the hand. Dont ask what I was doing watching Ful v Che on Valentines day, but Luiz played well, he was decent in his debut as well. Time will tell who is ahead in the Brazil RB pecking order.
Evra should leave, cash in cause we need the cash. Fabio will replace him. O’shea can do a job there to. Redmegleeker doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Paul Parker – I thought Luiz was a CH? Rafael will Brazil’s RB, for many a year. I don’t know who Brazil’s current RB is atm. Alves? Anyway, Rafael’s time will come, I’m sure.
Willie – of course he is he’s CLLC’s replacement lol its Friday mate my bad. He does get forward alot tho, esp for a CH, thats probably why im comparing him to Rafa. nevermind.
Paul Parker – hehe ))) i started to doubt even mine knowledge of Louiz being a CB ) Nice to see you here mate.
I’ve got It lads. Max, is Scott’s former girlfriend, who’s in love with Rio and that’s why she’s always pissed off at StR. Maxine? Chill out dear. Scott? Change you phone number mate, you might have a stalker.
King Eric- That’s a mean thing to say about 15 year olds, I was that old when I started posting here! Only kidding, no worries.
Paul Parker – Hello pal. You well? I don’t think we have overused Giggs, that is the irony. The man has played seven games on spin nearly or summat daft and has beern immense. I know you know that but what I am trying to say with Ryan’s fitness and ability he could play every week. He looks immense at the minute. Cannot wait for Park to be back though and Tony V. Amazing really to look at our position and we have played long periods without Rooney, Valencia and Park. NO other team could manage what we have done thus far. Testament to the players. They don’t wallow about thinking “oh shit” what are we gonna do now. They just get on with it. Credit to them and Fergie. We could quite easily have panicked bought in January but no Fergie didn’t and our rseults have been great.
Costas – Hi pal. Yeah great thanks, you? Yeah good point. Bebe and Obertan out wide with Hernandez up top.
theboogeyman – Ha yeah true! But I have always had a soft spot for you, in a non homosexual way!
Notorious – Hello pal. Hope you are well. A band called “Ryan Giggs is black ” and you played keyboards! That is rather amusing mate!
Hey up Wayne mate. Out of interest are you black?
Paul Parker – Re Luiz. He had it easy at Craven cottage though mate and lest we forget he conceded the pen. Fulham were only playing with little Andy Johnson up top who Terry was dealing with so sideshow Bob didn’t really have much to do. He looked ok like but as I have said before Tim Vickery the South American journalist said he has been piss poor of late. Anyway lets see how he handles Berbatov and/or Rooney.
willie – great post at 15.02 fella. Maxine!
King Eric – Cheers mate.
@CedarsDevil
Haha lol i’m definitely enjoying Georgie Bingham & Alison Bender. I’m thinking of a personal revenge plan for that townsend fella. Damn it, its an obsessive hate, lol.
@King Eric no mate thats a quote from the commitments say it loud i’m black and proud the irish are the blacks of europe.just having a laugh,nortorious was talking about being in a band called ryan giggs is black and that sprung to mind.before anyone piles on i know giggs is welsh.
I wouldn’t swap Evra for any left back in the world.
Although he doesn’t score goals, he is a constant threat going forward and the opposing right- sided winger/midfielder/full back is always on the back foot against him.
@ King Eric easy mate, yeah its funny with Giggs because he could play more, we’re lucky to have him. Next season im looking forward to more competion for Giggs and Scholesy. Its been quality seeing us hustle results the last two years but next season I’d like to see the likes of Anderson, Gibson and Fletcher dominate the middle, and Park Tony and Nani and Obertan on the wings. Obv Clevery plays right across the middle, we’ve got other youngsters, and im sure well also buy another winger/mid. I just get the impression Alec knows we rely on the quality of Giggs and Scholes a little too much, but its a fine balance because when they’re fit and fresh you have to play them! Agreed Fulham wasnt United but theres something about his approach to the game, shame Saha got injured thats the real test aye? Gotta laugh at the Rent Boys, fucked right through the squad from the coach down. Hilarious.
@ Corea hows it going mate, there was so little going on for Chelsea their CH looked like a RB taking the ball forward. Wasn’t paying much attention to be honest, was hardly a good advertisement of the game to the fairer sex, ie nobody scored lol.
Take it Easy Fellas.
Hope the contyract extension rumours are true, after a dodgy start to the season Paddy has reclaimed his form.
I agree with redmagleeker Neville wiil get him to stay. Captaink9 u just don’t know anything
Any body seen that Owen is out for a while….. I’m waiting Max …..
@costas..hahaha..now i understand what you mean on twitter mate.poor max. get a life dude!!! glad to see evra and giggsy sign new extensions.
confirmed! signed until the end of 2013-2014 season.
GO ON PAT!!!!
