So desperate are the FA to punish Manchester United, they charged Sir Alex Ferguson for complimenting referee Howard Webb.
On the same day, Ancelotti also sung the praises of Webb, yet no charge was made.
When Harry Redknapp was asked about the charge, he agreed it was silly, before going on to call Webb the best ref in the country, ahead of his team’s game against Liverpool which Webb was the ref for.
As yet, Fergie is the only referee the FA have chosen to charge, although have confirmed there will be no punishment.
“A regulatory commission has warned Sir Alex Ferguson as to his future conduct,” said an FA statement. “Ferguson was charged with improper conduct, relating to his pre-match media comments made about the match official Howard Webb on 6 May 2011. The chairman of the commission made the following statement following the hearing: ‘This rule was brought in at the start of the 2009-10 season and this was reiterated formally to all clubs again on 21 October 2010. This is a clear breach of the rule and it is the first time such a matter has been placed in front of a commission. As a result of this charge the commission were aware of other occasions where pre-match comments were made by other managers. In this case, it was considered to be a minor breach, but a breach nevertheless, and it should be taken as a warning to all managers in the future that any such breach, even positive comments, are likely to result in a charge by the FA.’”

Dumb @ss FA!
I think the FA are obsessed with Sir Alex Ferguson
Why would anyone expect anything else from that lot ?
“fergie the only referee”
might wanna correct that Scott mate!!
But valid article- the fa are a bunch of cunts. One rule for us another for the rest!! They must be missing the fact that fergie uses this to r benefit by creating a seige mentality!!
Scott,
Fourth line. Fergie is the only *manager*…
I beleive I also heard that Tony Pulis said a very similar thing about Webb when he was announced as the FA Cup SF referee. The FA did not even bat an eye.
SB
bunch of fucking assholes
Pep Guardiola is such a clever man he has compared us to Real Madrid, most people will say that is a compliment but I see through the BS, I believe Barcelona have a very opinion of themselves not just the players, the club, the manager everybody. They come across as moral and diplomatic but that is just a mask, they are attempting to come across as passive so that we put our guard down. Don’t fall for their bullshit they probably really think we are shit and that this will be a very easy game for them.
cunts
the f.a are a laughing stock, u couldnt dream this shit up…….firstly bernstein banned rooney and cost us the f.a. cup there was fergies touchline ban for slagging a ref and now this……..one rule for us and a totally different one for the rest………..by the way are any city players getting banned for swearing into the camera on sat? wankers. WE,LL DO WHAT WE FUCKIN WANT……………..ENGLANDS MOST SUCCESSFUL LEAGUE SIDE.
As a result of this charge the commission were aware of other occasions where pre-match comments were made by other managers.
And by other managers, they mean Sir Alex Ferguson. The rest 19 are not really managers, so they are not counted in the list.
Constantly being made examples of. I for one am sick of it and fear its only going to get worse.
obvoiusly they are not goin to ban fergie for five matches again.cos there will not be five matches..
huh,,,how kind they are…thank you fa…without you we would be doomed…
MG -I wrote to the F A asking why Ancelotti has not been charged, and do they think they are obsessed with United and SAF .Also are they being mugged by the London Press . I have not had a reply .I don’t know it was the daily mail that informed the FA about SAF
seriously.. this sort of organisation regulate the english footaball.. FA is just pure laughing stock for nation..
From very start, wen they put up with the charge.. everybody though what? are you serious?
these mingers just shameless, spineless, the most stupid people in power.. they did this deliberately before the last game.. champion game !
now,there!
i think the FA just realiesd they’ve been a bunch of biased pricks and hopefully will now grow up and fuck off
“As a result of this charge the commission were aware of other occasions where pre-match comments were made by other managers. “
The FA is a confused bunch of idiots. Whats the point in this charge anyways? This isnt even a slap on the wrist, just a notice to the rest of the footballing community that they are a bunch of biased hypocrits and if anyone speaks about a ref before a game they are going to get charged. And anyone being United.
Idiots… -_-
@NotoriousRedDevil, This season was arguably as worst as it gets mate. And we did pay a small price for it in the form of City winning their F.A. Cup. If Rooney had played in the semi, I am pretty sure that we’d be talking treble right not. (Still, the players who played should’ve done fine, but that’s a different issue.)
How much more worse can it get mate? We’ve made it clear that we’re not affected in a 38-game season. There is little else they can do to be honest.
Fines won’t hurt us. Maybe when we a shitload of injuries and they ban someone like Vidic, that could hurt us. But apart from that, they’re already hurting us as much as they can within their power. Pity for them that it doesn’t really affect us.
What is there problem, they are a bunch f cunts. maybe its the only way they no how to try and be on the same planet as the best manager who has ever lived.
im sick of this shit they dont want us to enjoy our celebrations.. when we stuff those ther cunts in the fa`s back yard we wil probably get some kinda “celebration fine” and the punishment will be to play the whole of next season behind closed doors
@ Balaji – We have triumphed over adversity this season no doubt about it. On MOTD over here they went through all the decisions that went our way half of them were Neville! They didn’t bother to look what blatantly went against us. I just think any time we may slip up with a comment or action on the pitch they will throw the book at us. They only banned Wayne because they couldn’t get him for the elbow. The problem isn’t just the FA its those parasites at Sky Sports who continually loop “controversial” incidents involving United.
Tale this “charge” for example, the FA have admitted that other managers have done exactly the same but none of them have been charged and or warned. If in the future for example Wenger does it he’ll get a slap on the wrist whereas Fergie will end up with a fine or possibly worse. The fact they banned Rooney and not those two cit-eh clowns for swearing smells of double standards. If I were the club I would sue the FA for discrimination over this latest charge because thats exactly what it is.
Also if we get a Howard Webb type performance at OT very often next season it will only hinder us. How chelski still had 11 players and we didn’t get a penalty baffles me, yet when we get a BLATANT penalty its fucking controversial.
Gomes on Carrick, miniscule touch which was impossible to see with the naked eye – yet controversial.
Robinson on Hernandez – Blatant foul which Stevie Me has made a career out of enter any l’arse player to that list as well.
Scouse cunt (forget his name) on Berbagod in FA Cup – SEE ABOVE.
Anybody else gets these decisions its a penalty we get them its a controversial. I for one was amazed with the decision on Saturday but think thats a parting gift.
Well now, the FA does look about right with a sheepish retreat. But this was
always a really stupid rule. Stupid rules never get followed because they
have no impact on real life actions. The FA should back off and really think this.
Obviously, statements can be meant to influence referees. But expecting managers to just say innocuous things when reporters are asking about serious questions is ludicrous.
The problem is the pre match interviews and the fact that so many refs are, well, not stellar.
The inevitable ABU celebrations of United taking the banner down after City’s FA Cup triumph are in full swing.
Swansea City allocated 36,000 tickets for the play-off final. United only get 25,000 for the European Cup Final. Yeah I can see the logic in that.
What abour Balotelli’s “minor breach” after the FA cup final?
a thought just popped into my head. Giggsy has to be molded to be United manager in the future. SAF is a one off no doubt, but the right person can be guided to emulate what he did for us. Its a long road and these things aren’t straight forward but it can be done. He loves the club,he’s dedicated to us and understands the Untied way more than anyone else. maybe i’m just dreaming but in the long term he could be SAF natural successor.
Costas – N/A mate, he’s Bernsteins Boy, so he will be absorbed of any punishment. If he was United, then he would have been punished.
Off topic but thought everyone might like to know that the great Niclas Bendtner has decided he wouldn’t mind a move to United. So good of him…
http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/football/news/article/-/9461802/arsenal-striker-bendtner-would-not-rule-out-man-utd-move/?
These cunts are digging a hole for themselves and are making it deeper. It fucking stinks. My concern is next season. Its ok now as we are all happy at winning the title but where will these corrupt cunts draw the line? That poncey public schoolboy with plums in his mouth and silly stutter Bernstein makes me feel slightly ill. Fuck the FA.
Can’t Manchester United make a case against FA and sue them in this regard? As this is more than blatant hypocrisy!
Totally off-topic but I had to post this link somewhere……………..I can barely type for laughing!!!
http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/football/news/article/-/9461802/arsenal-striker-bendtner-would-not-rule-out-man-utd-move/
By the way…………..the F.A are cunts!
Cyril, you beat me to it!! Curses!
@ chuffer – you were probably laughing while i had gone from laughter to absolute horror at the possibility
Sell Chicha. Buy Bendtner.
The buy Bendtner campaign starts here……at least he won’t cost much…..couple of quid!!
Kings – 36,000 for Swansea? What a fucking joke. Like you say THE biggest club in the world gets only 25k for a European Cup Final. What the fuck? There will be a lot more than 25,000 there though supporting United.
Anyway my old man called at dinner and he has a letter from our Supporters Club confirming me and him have got tickets for Wembley. Get the fuck in.
Dazbomber
The FA are run by monkeys for monkeys, laws of the jungle should remain only for those who understand jungle behaviour
slim – Hello mate. I have been thinking that for a while as well. He knows the club inside out, has been here for the entirety of Fergies success just about, would get huge respect off players and knows how the club is run.
King Eric – You lucky bastard! Only joking! Cheer the lads over the line for us! And a wee bit extra for me!
It is a conspiracy. It’s a conspiracy to get rid of him because they surmise (rather foolishly) that if SAF can be pushed out the door, United will cease to dominate English football (HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!). Their fear is that if United continue to dominate, the popularity and allure of the Premier League might wane and that would mean a loss of revenue for English football (a plausible theory).
It’s either that, or they are using Sir Alex to stamp in this Respect campaign crap. They want to send out the message that if the greatest manager the world has ever seen can be punished by us, the rest of you mediocre lot better size up and show RESPECT!
Just theorizing. Either way, it’s all ridiculous!
Nice on King Eric. Hopefully the lads will bring the trophy home for you and us as well. Know someone whos selling tickets but he wants £3500 for just one. Times like this I wish I could get hold of counterfeit notes!
Cheers lads. Yeah set off Saturday morning and stay in a hotel in Heathrow Airport Sat night, that is all I know at present.
Facts don’t matter to the FA only Rafa Benitez. Also when video evidence of King Kenny telling Wenger, to F@*K OFF,was presented to the FA they didn’t do anything with it, think that deserved at least a couple games touchline ban. But touchline bans and bans for players celebrating goals are reserved for MUFC staff. Just like After the chelsea game a couple seasons ago, when it was only the MUFC players/staff that were punished by the FA, not the chelsea Nazi idiots for their racist abuse of Evra.
But it is hilarious to see them back themselves into a corner and realize they have no grounds to do jack, and fair play to SAF, just ignore them and they’ll go away, LMFAO.
King Eric – uefa dont care about the fans, the football league do to a lesser extent. Uefa ripped the fans off, they want to give the rest to PPL who do not support or even like football, it is uefa who should be thrown out, has like fifa they have are a tight unit
has anyone seen the report about gary neville giving some of the proceeds of his testimonial to a new fans headquarters outside old trafford, just by the canal… fair play to him, what a top class bloke.
The reason Swansea got 35,000 is because in the grand scheme of football nobody gives a flying fuck about the play-offs other than the respective teams fans. Shame Forest couldn’t get the job done, all hopes now lie on Reading. IMO only 10,000 seats should go to corporates and “the football family.” Most these guys then sell the tickets on for inflated prices.
@King Eric
Exactly, no manager on this planet is going to commit himself to say a 10 year plan and to be honest we shouldn’t be asking that of anyone, unless we’re looking inwards towards servants of the club. Giggsy hunger for success almost rivals SAF,he knows the club ethos,he’s a legend,the players and supporters love him to bits. Was on the official United site and was reading an article on it, the gist was one of the in house journos was allowed into the dressing room and when Giggs came in they all started singing “He’s won it 12 times” Amazing. I wouldn’t know how you go about molding him, i’m just a fan but SAF and the club could do it. Fingers crossed
Halftime. Blackburn Rovers vs Manchester United.
Fergie: Listen you all… if you can’t think of yourselves managing to win the title today…i might as well break the bank next season to buy bennettor or bendetor or whatever his name is. the lad clearly thinks he is/will be the best player in the world so i think he could teach you lads a right thing or two.
the choice is yours…do you want this bendtner or bandanna or banana whatever fuck his name is…or do you want to be champions???
90′. Blackburn 1 United 1 and crowned the champions for a 19th time.
Moral of the story.
Even the name Bendtner is a class act of it’s own.
4 days to go till we pick up our title let the countdown begin
Sky and others reporting that Stekelenburg may still be available, and interested. Hmmmm, Plan B then?
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11913_6937730,00.html
Giggs new United manager? for some mad reason, I like the sound of that. It rings true. RedNev by his side? I’m I dreaming?
@willie, I have always thought that one of SAF’s proteges will become the next manager. And someone who loves the club at that too. Currently, one of the best bets is Ole but whether he is too soft a character, we do not know. Gary and Ryan would certainly have the fiery side of Sir Alex which will be good.
@Fletch, Yup, I’ve been saying all along that he looks a great bet. He is at the right age for goalies. Not too old and not too young. He is Dutch, so VDS has seen him in action and VDS said long ago that the next keeper had been given the green light by him. He is available. He is the right height. The only problem I hear is that he is not as good as De Gea or Neuer. But I still he is good and he is a product of the Ajax academy, how bad can he be? Certainly, not another Taibi or Barthez.
@willie
That would be the perfect dream. Imagine giggs blasting a referee and gnev doin the same to the linesmen. Haha!!
@FletchTHEMAN
Stekelenburg is a big experienced keeper. I prefer him than De Gea any day. Experience is key for a keeper and Stekelenburg has played in the wc final.
Is anyone else sick and tired of how this United team being described as not ‘vintage’ ?? What the fuck is this crap…..
Tell you what, other teams should be great full that this team is not bloody ‘vintage’ other wise we would turn the PL into a La Liga and win the title by December every season
dumb fucks
The FA said BallsONtelly would not be charged because the comment was not directed at anyone.
OK, Then the fact that King Kenny was directly telling a fellow manager to f— off is what then?
FA are a shambles
F—A (F*ck united and up ABU)
F—A (F*ck united and up Arsenal)
F—A (F*ck united and up ALL Bitters)
Sir Ryan Giggs FTW. him with ole or G.Nev at his side.
off topic but its seems to be the prevalent topic on ROM for the past few days;the keeper decision is going to be a risk no matter who we do go for and to be honest its all conjecture at this point. I’m simply buzzing from last week and not even close to getting tired of it and to top it off we’re getting our trophy back and have a chance to right the wrong that happened in Rome. Come on United
Willie
Mouth watering prospect buddy
FletchTHEMAN – I get the feeling united have their heart set on de gea. They are just waiting to hear from the kid
giggs or ole can succeed sir alex but then he shud start moulding them for a season or two under him….
cant we just sue the fa… we hav proof of their biased approach… thay arent above the law… discrimnation is punishable undr law right?? even if its based on the colour of your heart…
@keano, Agree with ya mate. Just saying the back channels are sayin it is DeGae’s to loose. Bit worried about the youth side of that.
I am also worried about
ANYONE WHO HAS TO THINK FOR 2 FREAKING SECONDS ABOUT SAYING YES TO UNITED!
Hello all fellow Red’s.
I’ve been reading the other story about young Tom for the last half hour.
Now to read back here. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
LOVE THIS BLOGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys, does anyone know if there is a live stream of the youth final later?
speaking of youths..
http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/football/news/article/-/9461953/neville-current-man-utd-youth-team-best-in-15-years/
Balaji Sivaraman – I think united would have gone after him a phew months ago. I do not even think they are interested in the guy. I sence fergie and co think de gea has the same amount of experience has Stekelenburg and he is younger, plus they feel de gea’s price will rise if they do not sign him this summer. Atletico and united have agreed a fee for de gea, and the scouts have stopped scouting other GK’s, because they have identified their target which is de gea, and they are hoping their determinqation to land him will see united have no intention getting anyone else. United I think are scouting a midfielder now, has they feel they have landed de gea even though its risky de gea will decide to stay or go in june.
As shitty as it is, we must expect a double standard for United and the rest of the league. These people will never change, especially with a former City executive in charge. We need to funnel it as motivation……. Onwards and upwards. Next season, our motto will simply be – #RISEABOVE
Wayne Rooney: From Hero To Villian Back To Hero Again
http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2011/05/wayne-rooney-from-hero-to-villian-back.html
Sports administration is the business I want to get into. No check on my power, no check on my corruption, no democratic elections. Lemme have some!
why isnt rene adler in the picture?? i thought he was equally good if not better… n he is self confessed united fan…
fergie is the boss
de Gea has nowhere near experience as Stekelenburg. Stekelenburg has played in the World cup and champions league. De gea has not played for Spain (yet) and am not sure if he played in the CL. I am not saying de Gea is better/worse, but a keeper has got to have experience. It is no secret that defenders play much better when they know there is a top keeper behind them
They have definitely got it in for him, it is just ridiculous. And how many times can they say the word breach in one statement?
@King Eric- At Wembley, youre gonna have to be representing all of us here!
@fitb- Atletico havent qualified for Champions League next season. That might be something that could tempt him to join us as well. He is a quality goalkeeper, and will no doubt improve. As for the midfielder- Sneijder possibly, or someone else?
Btw, anyone know much about Siem De Jong? Watching him for Ajax on and off this season, is he likely to improve in the future?
The thing about De Gea is that he has achieved No. 1 status in a pretty big club at a VERY young age. That has to suggest that he is genuinely good and can only get a lot better with age and experience. If United were to sign him, we could be set in the GK spot for the next 15 years. But the problem with De Gea is that Spanish/Portuguese/Latino players don’t really like living in Manchester (or anywhere in England other than London) and they really miss their homeland, their cuisine, their weather, etc. etc. I am always skeptical of players from those regions because any day now they may decide to leave United and go someplace else.
keano – united are not interested in Stekelenburg, even the man himself has said united have not shown an interested. Week after week there has been huge rumors of united pressing ahead for the de gea transfer, there has been allot of storys a fee has been agreed, united have not even denyed the rumors, when they usually do. Fergie even said they would replace VDS at a much faster time, than it took to replace Big pete in 99. So if that is the case, they have defiantly been in contact with atletico and a fee has been put in place
If United were to sign Stekelenburg, I hope he has the self-confidence to not buckle under the pressure of expectation from the fans to meet the ridiculously high standards set by his compatriot.
When VDS announced his retirement, the only viable candidates in my view were Stekelenburg and Neuer, and then later on Adler. They had the right mix of experience and ability to immediately take over from VDS.
Saad – but united have not shown any interest in him, so it is pointless to really talk of players fergie does not really want
@fergie is the boss
I know…but until we see a name in the roster on the club website, I’d like to think all possibilities are still open, minus Manuel Neuer.
Hah,I watch with interest the ITK man’s tip and note he’s in the final year next month and has not yet renewed.Could yet be a surprise,now that would be funny.
Saad – yes true, but it looks like their scouting has been well and truly finished on the GK department. Yes the press sometimes get it wrong, but united have agreed the transfer with atletico, and when united do not deny the story, I think we can confirm they have found their man, adding the fact atletico need money. Yes he is young, but he is gonna be one of the best GK’s in the world, and fergie is not gonna go for an ok keeper, and let one of the best young keepers slip through his fingers. Fergie loves youth no matter what area it is
I have no problem with De Gea, especially if SAF really thinks he’s good enough to replace a legend. I just hope he gives proper commitment to United and doesnt keep one foot out the door ready to go back to Spain.
With all due respect but why on earth are we discussing transfers?? We have a CL to win first
true mate..
do u realise that when we kick their catalan asses on 28th… we would be beating the world cup winning side( well almost)….
To be fair, De Gea or Stekelenburg? No comparison really. De Gea has the potential to be world class. Stekelenburg is decent enough goalie, but De Gea has all the attributes you look for in a top keeper. I take the point about experience and would agree, it is a gamble, but if United land this kid, we would be set in that position for a number of years. Still down to the lad though. He must want to leave the home comforts of Spain. He won’t be tested at Athletico Madrid. Good club, as they are.
I think fergies gonna go for experience over youth on this one. We’ve still got lindegaard to come through, n think he will want someone who can bring bit of an old head to the squad as replacement for vds.
Not likely to only have young keepers
fergie is the boss
http://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2011/05/15/2487349/atletico-madrids-david-de-gea-to-decide-future-on-june-30
Fergie loes youth, but has no patience when it comes to keepers!
Cedars – True mate. Just when I think I’m out, they pull me back into transfer talk lol.
Alright. The FA has FINALLY done somethin we shouldn’t complain about. They have warned Mr. Ancelotti about his comments. TOO LITTLE. TOO FUCKING LATE.
myp2p for the Fa cup final.
This is a genuine question as I am unsure – Is there any other industry where they allow the chairman (or any employee for that matter) who has the control and influence to affect the outcome of results/profits etc to have a vested interest in a rival company/club?? It’s like Bill Gates becoming the chairman of the Information Technology regulatory body and ordering Apple Mac to take all their products off the market ashe found the behaviour at Apple Macs Christmas party offensive!!
lindegaard is almost as old as stekelenburg… so u hav the ‘old head’… de gea will be world class in a couple of seasons training with steele n hopefully VDS… but like someone said above, its gonna be difficult for him to adjust in england… but my choice is de gea… he’s already very good… couple of seasons he’ll be world class…
Does anybody know when the transfer window officially opens?
Also if Ancelotti has been warned why didn’t they do it on Friday? Fucking idiots. All this keeper talk reminds me of Schmeichel left, did anyone back then see us signing Bosnich. Thought that was strange then and still do.
King Eric – Fucking piss take mate. They struggle to even get 20,000 for their home games in the league, so what fucking justification is there to allocate them that much? It is clear that if that allocation is taken, the large chunk of them tickets will be snapped up by glory hunters who wouldn’t have even given their team a chance of making the play-offs at the start of the season. United on the other hand have a global support and genuine supporters who would love to see their team in the flesh through good times and bad.
Nice work on bagging the tickets mate. Hope you don’t me asking, but how much are the face on the tickets you got? I’m still going through all the means necessary to get one.
NRD – The story goes about Bosnich, that Fergie didn’t want him. Edwards pushed that deal through. It seemed a strange signing.
Willie
Lol buddy… We have a long fucking summer to try and be bosses and geniuses and do our bit in the transfer market….
For now we have to deal with them diving cunts
@Mike kelly. Good thought. It does seem wierd doesn’t it? Also, he said he is desperate for city’s success.
But what can you do about it? They know FA about common sense anyway.
Ok, just a thought, buffon anybody?
I see Kings has appeared, long live the King……… Fucking true RED he is!
Has anyone seen stone? Would be nice to have him around now……
I know, I find it bizzare that it is acceptable! Bernstein will come out this week and announce that Mike Summerbee will be refereeing the Champions League final and anyone questioning the decision will recieve a 2 game ban!
@ willierednut – I thought that as well. Being tight on the purse strings after spending £27 million the previous summer. One thing I do remember when we signed Bosnich was that when the players pose pitch side with shirts etc. Fergie wasn’t there. You’re probably right about that. That summer we could have got Van Der Sar or even Barthez on a free. As it was we ended spending £8 million on the latter for 1 maybe 1.5 good seasons. Van Der Sar went to Juve for £7.5 million and we spunked I think it was £4.5 million on Taibi. Nice one Edwards!
cedars and willie with love and due respect, it is mid May, SAF and Gill have recently spoken of summer plans and I know I’m in the US and do not get Sky so I don’t hear all the cunts bash Man Utd daily. I have to put up with reading post after post about guys I don’t know pundint cunts post after post basically all saying the same thing. Townsend a cunt this guy suck’s. I get it if the guys on ESPN talked about the BEPL like the NBA,NFL,MLB I would bash them to.
Come on guys it is the time of year to talk transfers and please try not to stop the chatter, I know Man Utd still has a CL final coming up and with the right moves in the window can put them back in the CL finals the next 3 of 4 years. Well any way I love you two.
Unless anyone else is going
King Eric you’ll have to do all the shouting on behalf of all of us at the ROM and roar United on
King Eric – In reference to your post of 14.42, just be prepared for even more stitch ups for next season mate, as that bastard Bernstein will pull out all the stops to make sure that City will win the league next year. He already set the tone with the banning of Rooney for the FA Cup semi-final which they massively benefitted from, so what’s to stop him doing likewise for the league challenge next season. Corrupt bastards, and they have the fucking cheek to label FIFA with that tag.
What, Goldstein failed to charge Fergie for such a crime!!???? I guess he will execute all of his FA lawyers that lack the skill to convict the fellon. Amazing. Fuck Goldstein cunt and all of his fucking staff. Soo what, sue me for swearing u fucking cuntfuck aperaper Shitty plastic comedy club lover! U are so envy of the Mighty United that u keep charging for all the more silly reasons so we can add more will to win to put 2 fingers right in your fuckin fuckfaces!
GAhhhhh… FA makes me wanna crawl out of my skin and at the same time they keep amuse me with their useless tricks to try an make us fall.
United will not crumble under the corrupt FA and UEFA. When those two organs is laid in ruins, United will stand in the ashes and piss gasoline on the remains!
@FITB, I am just speculating mate. I would love anybody to replace VDS as long as we find someone. I’ve seen De Gea in action a few times. Not enough for me to comment, but enough for me to know that he is quality. I am saying Stekelenburg because of the VDS connection only. And even then I am just speculating.
@Cedars, The rest of the league better be damn afraid mate. Our home form is frightening as it is but we’ve been below par away from home certainly. That’s for sure. Sir Alex has already said he will make a few signings. Chicha, Smalling, Da Silvas and Gibson will be a year older. Fletcher will not be injured. Valencia will play for the full season. Nani’s a year older. Rooney won’t have his problems. Berba will be Berba. Evra will find his best form. Vidic and Rio will be as solid as ever. And we will replace VDS. And, of course, Sir Alex will be leading them all.
In my humble, unbiased opinion, if I were fans of any of the opposition teams, I would be seriously shitting my pants right now. They’ve got a helluva reason to be afraid and we’ve got a lot of reason to look forward to the 20th.
@shubh, I think FletchTheMan (I think??) made an interesting point about us signing goalies who can look ahead of the defense. Which is why all the players we’ve been linked with are giants as is VDS himself. If that is the case, and I’ve no reason to think otherwise because it is an obvious reason, then Buffon and Given are out of the question. Even though they are amazing goalies and I would sign them without blinking an eye.
@NRD, As far as I understand, there is no official start date. It works like the NBA post-season. You can sign players once the season is officially closed. I could be dead wrong here but that’s how it has always worked I think.
CedarsDevil – Hello mate. Yep this Sri Lankan Red has made an appearance. Thanks for that compliment mate. Right back at you buddy. How are you?
Is stone that joker who was on another thread earlier?
Zibbie – You talk about players if you want mate. Gill and Fergie will already have the targets in mind. I just want a time out lol.
Anybody know the FA Youth Cup final line-up?
NRD – 1st of July, I think.
@shubhangmanred
whynot cesar
any way wen is the fa youth cup starting
OFF TOPIC SIR ALEX PLS SIGN ALEXIS SANCHEZ PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
any links for the yute game
Thanks no disrespect at all for you guy’s.
Yeah regarding De Gea I just aint sure. Why the fuck would anyone have to think about it? Or is it just a way of keeping the media away from the scent? Top young keeper but as I have said countless times FAR too inexperienced and the Spanish are usually flaky.
What is this obession with “PURRLEASE ALEX SIGN SANCHEZ”????
The youth cup final is about to start come on lads win it again

this one looks to be working.
Kings – Hello mate. Not sure till I call him tomorrow lunchtime. They ranged from 80, 150, 225 and 300. All those that applied from our club obviously wanted the 80 quid ones. I am calling him tomorrow to confirm we are going. I will inform you thereafter mate.
£300 for a ticket. You could probably get to 5 different countries for less.
I reckon this should be explored some more to see where the line in the sand lies.
Fergie should come out for the next game and say.
The referee is wearing a black uniform and his assistants have flags to wave.
Id like to see if thats a breach of the rules, if it is then they have to take away from the rule book of football who officiates a match to make sure rules are abided by for fear of breaking the rules. If all infomation regarding referees are taken away from the rule book which can be read before a match then when discussing a referee prior to a match you cannot be breaking a rule because said referee or existance of isn’t mentioned and has no part in the game. Would be fun to see the police drag them away.
Good luck to the young lads tonight. Can’t watch it lads, so someone post the any updates please? Heard it’s a sell out at Sheff Utd.
NRD – Yeah mate and United and Barca are at the ends , behind the goal. Do not mind paying 80 at all. Well I dont as my old man is treating me!!
Right back in 2 or 3 hours, off home, skinning up then watching the youth team. Laters.
@ willie mate its asell out
sheefield start well
No Ancelotti has been charged for saying that Webb is “ok”. Don’t the FA have anything better to do?
@willie
united score 1-0
controversial looked maybe hand ball
@sachu
Please describe the goal for us non-viewers, if you don’t mind.
Paul pogba is class
not sure it crossed line but had he not give it would have been a pen and sending off! great ball from pogba he looks good! great start from united!
WELL THE LIKES OF ANDO GIBBO BETTER START PERFORMING CONSISTENTLY BECAUSE PAUL POGBA IS THE REAL DEAL
GOOD TO SEE FERGIE WATCHING
1-1 GREAT GOAL
1-1 HT
SACHU, I TOO ONCE PRESSED THE CAPS LOCK KEY AND IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS EVER SINCE. MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES.
Paul Pogba has got every thing, skill power vision the real deal ,Morrison is so hungry for the ball.There is so much potential in this team .
Come on ya young reds!!!!!!!
@Balaji Sivaraman (18:08) Cheers for that mate. It is my only claim to fame I guess. But yes, I would bet we don’t see another keeper (for money) under 6’3″). I feel that fergie tried that out after Peter Schmeichel and decided it wasn’t working. You would rightly question my sanity if I said we would never go for Iker Casillas if he fell out of a tree on us. But I would predict SAF would just share a glass with the lad and put him in a taxi for home. Just sayin!
beep ba beep beep beep. Pizza for me and Im getting drunk.
Thanks for the links to the reserve match but unfortunately I live in circle jerk land. (sweden) Unfortunately the hamster that runs around the eco friendly alternative bean flicking power station on his little wheel has been given the evening off. Union rules. Hes partaking in dodge the sauce where he sits in the middle of a room nibbling at a biscuit whilst those who run the country are toe to toe seeing who can put the hamster off his appetite first.
Hence, nothing gets done, no MUTV, no electricity, shitty jumpy Internet and everyone walking around with a self important glazed look in their ugly box headed faces.
aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh fizz pang.
while the gooners are worrying about their monumental pussying around that could cost them 2nd place, while the champions of England are watching the youth of tomorrow playing in yet another final. I’m fucking chuffed at the moment. I don’t know about you guys but the buzz United has given me lately is just out of this mindblowing out of this world. Fuck me look at the young lads on display this evening, good things people and good times
Can someone tell me if the United youth are on the front foot or back foot in this match?
great skil from Pogba! goal disallowed!!
Anyone watching the youth game WHAT A FLICK by pogba. unlucky he was offside. COME ON BOYS!!!
FUCKING GET INN HAHAHA WILL KEANE!!!!!
2-1 to United. Its keane again!!!!!!
Goal!!!!!!!!!! Will Keane!
What a pass from Pogba, that boy’s class!
Goooooooooollllllllaaaaaassooooooooooooo 1-2 United lead!!!
Guess that answers my question! HAHAHAHAHA!
Does the away goals rule apply in FA Youth Cup tournaments?
is morrison playing? haven’t seen him yet. Pogba needs to be in that first team next yr. He is simply brilliant.
this is exactly what i was talking about. can’t believe i’m giddy like a senior game, getting the same excitement, even more. Come on United!!!!
FUCK!!! that number 10 guy looks really good.
Fuck me they equalize
Fuckkk! 2:2
Sounds impressive. What’s his name, the Blade # 10?
Jordan Slew if I’m not mistaken
LOL fergie’s eyeing the blades number 10.
@saad
it was a deflected goal
Thanks, people.
This Jordan Slew is an England international. Any good?
Attendance: 30,000. That’s amazing! And apparently the largest home crowd Sheffield United have had, even for their senior team!!!
Will keane is so slick. DAMN. what a player.
no need to sign anybody other a GK THIS SUMMER pogba and morrison are great also thorpe is good
W.Keane reminds me of Teddy Sheringham.
Those watching de youth fa cup, whats happening to our defence? This is de 2nd equalizer. Come on future reds!
Argie Troll and Berbagod level on goals now ;-(
@saad
stew is excellent
that was GREAT SKILL FROM POGBA
@NRD – just saw that one, looks like he is wanting to win it…Berba will need to score on sunday.
Not that I care much about this meaningless goal, but still want the Berb to win it more than anyone.
TUNCLIFFE HAD AGOOD CHANCE THERE
@united.george – I have serious financial implications involved. League is def more important but he deserves it. Wish he had got more minutes even off the bench.
2-2 FT
Good result. Let’s hope we also get 30000+ at OT and spur the boys on.
Great game, enjoyed it, whole team played well!
Some great prospects… Pogba never fails to impress, top class that lad
Was also impressed by Van Velzen
2-2.good game. do away goals count?
2-2 final score first leg….
@NRD – well, it will come down to sunday then….City play Bolton away while we are at home, need the Berb to score.
To all those asking, away goals don’t count in the FA youth cup
So basically, the FA are saying Don’t compliment, don’t ask for fairness, and United players and staff are not allowed to swear.
What else does the FA have jammed up their ass?
So basically, the return leg at OT is a winner-takes-all affair. Good! Should be exciting.
Great match the youth cup game… both sides played well, but I think United were superior in passing and creating chances. Both their goals come from long range effort and deflection… we could have scored a couple more… tunniclif had a couple of great chance late in the game.
Overall United played really well, I’m impressed by how mature the side seems to be. Future looks really bright for these kids. GK Johnstone looks good too.
The ref!!! gosh, he was inconsistent to say the least. made some really bizarre decisions, at least wasn’t rash and bring out cards all the time!
Berbatov doesn’t have the character necessary to be a Manchester United player.
First time post here.
Hello all true Reds.
Just bought my tickets for the 2nd leg at OT looking forward to seeing the Youth / Future next week…
and enjoying some good banter with the true ManUtd fans I see on this blog.
CHAMP19NS!!!
Getting beyond a joke now! Unless we play the same line up on Sunday as we do in the European Cup final, we’ll get charged for fielding a weakened team!
The FA literally would not be out of place in a Monty Python’s sketch. They have just made themselves look like complete fucking morons in every aspect of this farcical situation. The initial charge was a joke, everyone said it was a joke, and now this FA statement is like the puchline to round it all off. Unless I’m mistaken Sir Alex hasn’t even responded to the charge, so here we have a situation where everyone is just standing back and laughing at them while they embarrass themselves with every action/statement they make.
Take this line, “This is a clear breach of the rule and it is the first time such a matter has been placed in front of a commission”. They only acted because someone brought it to their attention, a fact which was confirmed by those mupetts on the Sunday Supplement show. Apparently in the end the FA had to warn Ancelotti of his comments because a reporter rang them up and said something along the lines of, how come you haven’t charged Ancelotti as he said virtually the same thing.
I dread to think the salaries that some of these clowns are on. I’m mean it’s not like they have anything better for doing, like maybe making some sort of an effort to try and stamp out the type of sick chants we heard from City fans in the Blackburn game a few weeks ago, chants which were clearly audible to millions of TV viewers.
Hey guys, no surprises here. The FA are spineless cunts anyway.
Anyway, check this out for Sunday apparently:

Looks brilliant.
NotoriousRedDevil – dont you mean eddie munster
A Great* man once said
“FACT”
Now That Very Man Is a Fact, A Fact In The Unemployment Figures.
( Im Humouring this chauffer)
We need to go for the killer option. Please start a twitter tweet saying the FA had the affiar with Imogen. In fact I would not be surprised if the chairman of the FA slept with Imogen and is now trying to blame it on Giggs as a United player.
We must do it. We must get a super injunction against the FA, they have screwed us enough, we feel violated, thus tawdry affair must end, they must be gagged.
i wish Osama Bin Laden had taken FA with him
On another note, have a look at this brilliant picture!

I am not sure if anyone else saw this, but it is so fucking funny, I just couldn’t resist. We were all quite rightly pissed off that the FA didn’t charge Ancelotti — but now the full story emerges. Turns out it has nothing to do with corruption or ABU hatred or anything like that. Just, er, stupidity. According to Sam wallace in The Independent, Ancelotti wasn’t initially charged for the simple reason that his comments originally appeared only in (get this) The Ealing Gazette and no-one at the FA read that. Hilarious. Sort of. Apparently, the mainstream press didn’t think Ancelotti’s comments rated any space, so they never covered it. Later, when the storm erupted over the FA’s charge at SAF, Ancelotti’s comments finally came to the surface, and he in the end, was also charged. But, as Wallace points out, the whole thing has been a farce. The rule is, essentially, unenforceable, because (a) the FA can monitor what managers say in the mainstream press, and not all managers get coverage there. Consequently, some managers can say what they like, because it never gets reported in the national press, unlike Sir Alex, whose every word is reported. So it’s inherently unfair. And (b) now that they have let off Sir Alex and Ancelotti, if they were punish anyone in future, that would be seen as unfair. Stupid rule, invented and policed by stupid people. Idiots, the lot of them.
