@zade: Classic mate!
aig- I know what you mean mate, but I’m sick of people like Paul Nolan who just convert from United fans to Barcelona fans simply because they beat us.
I agree with you re: Aguero, he also is overrated.
But Zlatan is over-rated, IMO, the reason he was the danger man for Inter in March was because the rest of the team is crap, like you said.
Anyway, I don’t care about other teams generally.
PS: I think I’m one of the select few who wanted Real Madrid to win last night.
david villa and david silva going to manchester united for 53 million is a given in january acording to a guy that i didnt catch his name on newstalk in Ireland . anyone any further info I missed the whole start of what they where saying

David Silva & David Villa for £45 million would be the deal of the century
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on October 28, 2009 | 20 Comments
If you look at it this way, Manchester City spent £32.5 million signing Robinho from Real Madrid last summer. To think that Manchester United might be able to sign Valencia duo David Villa and David Silva for just £45 million this January is incredible.
Several papers have reported today that Sir Alex Ferguson is preparing to spend a large chunk of the £80 million received from the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo last summer on the Spanish pair once the January transfer window opens.
Valencia have admitted this morning that they would find it incredibly hard to turn down any bids for both Silva and Villa this winter, with the club still firmly in financial difficulty. As you can probably guess by the title of this piece, I’m a massive fan of both Villa and Silva.
Both players still have several years left in their career’s, especially Silva who is still only 23-years old. I’m sure the majority of you who saw the pair play in the European Championships back in 2008 will know just how good they are. Without them, I doubt it whether or not Spain would have gone all the way in Austria & Switzerland.
As a football fan in general, I would be delighted to see both Villa and Silva play in the Premier League. At the rumoured £45 million, they undoubtedly represent great value for money and I think it’s fair to say that the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City would all be very jealous should the duo arrive at Old Trafford.

@theboogeyman
why did you want real to win???
ghtt
hi mate.its all crap. 45 million.That is what valencia will demand for villa alone and he is 28.although he is in great form i wont pay more than 25 million for him.valencia will ask for 60-65 million pounds for both of them.Silva is my main priority as we are lacking a bit of creativity which he can provide.Happy with the strikers we have. However if we can get both for 50 million i will be delighted.
A.I.G. Im just relly keeping my mind open about david sivla thou if You Open Your Mind Too Much, Your Brains Will Fall Out, but If United got 2 of them I wouldnt say no. Id love Villa but we dont need Villa , I think we could do with Silva thou our season wont fall to peices if we dont get him, but someone will be bought in january im sure to add to 2 more players coming in and the curley headed one coming back
maybe davis silva can replace nani as Ac Milan are trying to buy them
ghtt
i agree with You. We have got Diouf who has arrived and Ljajic coming but he will be a fringe player this season. Hargo is of course gonan be back too which will give us added steel in the middle.Rio too should be back by then. However if we get Silva i think he is the perfect replacement for Scholesy. We still havent been able to replace Giggs though.
have you heard or read this in a reliable source?
Off topic: Micah Richards to United – is this some kind of a sick joke?
David Silva to replace Nani? But Fergie said Nani wont be leaving in Jan.Maybe that will be last chance for him because Obertan is staking claim for a regular place now and Giggsy is still in top form.
@Xyth
Rubbish pal. rather Fergie should sign me. i can defend better than that cunt. hailed as a bright prospect a few years back. All that he is doing now is giving Tevez company on the bench.
Is it true that Van Persie is out for the season? Also, did you guys notice the posetr held up by the Arsenal fan, “After the recent exploits of a certain gentleman from Togo, I am feeling better disposed towards Cole”? Classic, that one…
All the people here – yesterday’s result was not a big downer for us, actually Arsenal winning with a game in hand wouldnt have been a better result for us, best would have beena draw…:) 5 pts behind Chelsea is not the end of the world, for chrissake its only December!! I feel it ion my bones we will fo 4 on the trot this year…not sure how well we’ll do in Cl though…
btw, the tampax one was absolutely bloody marvelous…split my sides laughing at that one!
A.I.G. I read that mate
http://www.tribalfootball.com/ac-milan-encouraged-after-man-utds-nani-raps-fergie-442281
only 16 but have been to over 3seasons worth of home games, aswell as trips to the bridge & anfield etc, we need to put our strongest midfield & strikers out to embarrsse them, anybody fancy vidic to shut that cocky twat beckford out?
Costas
it’s not true. the distance between us and gooners is not a problem. Van Persie is out, they don’t have the depth to handle the whole season. you try to find the possitives but there are none. they had to take points of Chelsea and i don’t have strong belief Shity will do it either. but even with 5 points difference we have a good chance but we can’t afford to drop points in most of the upcoming games. then it could be a real problem.
@Kanchelskis
I don’t think the Dubai debt issue will affect City too much. The crisis is in the real estate sector. To my knowledge the CIty owners’ money is largely from Oil. Theres never a lack of demand for that sadly…
20legend – Agree mate. I have NEVER seen Messi tear a team apart either.
gotta hate – Spot on pal. Jamie Redknapp and the fuckers on talk shite are saying the leagues over. Is it fuck. Have you heard Tiny Tears banging on about team spirit? Fuck off you twat. Finally cannot believe the cunts on talk shite were playing “blue is the colour” this morning. You’ll never walk alone last week now this. Have you ever heard them play the United Calypso or the like? No neither have I.
Whats this? I thought it was ROM not the Barcelona fucking fan club. Hope United get them again this season with a fit Fletch and Hargo. Lets ee if they rip United apart this time.
Dave Mack – Did you really say that along with CHELSEA barca and Real are the best in Europe? Don’t make me laugh.
@King Eric
chill mate. Just talking some other stuff because there is nothing much happening on the United front. barca are the best in the plane there is no harm in giving credit where its due.Atleast i feel like talking about them. But talking of the rentboys, it makes my blood boil. People are already crowning them as champions. and worst of all i read some comments on Sky sports where dippers fans believe they can finish 2nd behind chelsea., Cant believe ther is no limit to their delusion.
As for Messi well he may not have torn apart anyone in a big game but then neither have Ronaldo,rooney or anyone of the great players becasue the opposition put more men and coul them to stop them.
COME ON READING
People, judging the teams in december is so stupid.
I fell asleep during the El-Classico and switched the channel.
Sir Alex is not happy with the criticism our young stars are getting

aig – Hi mate. Fergie is absolutely right to be annoyed. Like many on here it is ridiculous to write them off after one poor game. Like he says Becks, Scholes, Nev, Butt etc were all a bit older. Beckham was still on loan at Preston at 21 years old.
Having said that I was hoping Fergie may pick some of the more experienced players for tomorrow night as Harry will probably have a full team out. Obviously Fergie has the faith in them.
Oh another thing. It looks like the journalists that branded Fergie mad for selling the Judas are having to eat humble pie. Never doubt the master.

@King Eric
Fergie was spot on to sell Tevez. His goal scoring record was never good or one to be proud of. He was not the man to replace Ronaldos goals.
As for the kids these are the times we need to give them chances. It would be good if they can mix it with the experienced players. I am sure few of these players will make it big. i am confident and even if we lose tomorrow i dot care because as Fergie said it is a learning experience for the players.

Can’t believe I watched all 3 crap matches yesterday. The wrong scousers won. What a waste of space that Jo is. Does he even have a footballing brain? Arse as always bottled their match. I almost fell asleep waiting them to threat Cech. And the clasico? What a shitty team that Bank of Spain FC. Can’t believe Pellegrini let Marcelo play for the whole match. Just when I thought Ronaldo was coming to life, he took him out for that joker Benzema.

I fuckin hope Leeds will go through,can’t wait to play them at OT. Off topic, i’m not too worried about being 5pts behind the rent boys,the season is still very long.
@Dave Mack: Chelsea and Real are the best teams in Europe along with Barca? Yeah right and Bradford will win the league in 2 years time. If you felt shivers when Ibra scored and you consider yourself a Barca fan,go on then,we don’t need gold diggers like you.
UNITED>Anything else
Can’t wait for Leeds, it’s annihilation in the making!!!!

El Classico was enjoyable, but way overhyped. I miss Ronaldo at United, and he was good for a guy that came back on wed. to action. Xavi and Iniesta are just fenomenal! And Kaka had a good game, Puyol, Piquet and Valdez (yes, that’s right) were imense imho.
Messi isn’t the world’s best player? Yes, he is. He didn’t have a huge game yesterday, but was good. Better than Ronaldo for example. He was damn good against us everytime, teared Lyon and Bayern, teared Real in some games ago is plays very well domestically.
But I still don’t think he’s near Ronaldinho in his golden age at Barça. The brazilian was just monumental against every team he played against, was one of the best players the came to scene in the past years. I miss the player he was, today he’s just a shadow. That is trully a shame.

go on fergiee
anyone wanna email emilys videos to
socceram@bskyb.com and give out to them for only featuring chelsea and liverpool youtube fans
i’ve hated leeds all my life in 1972 as a 13yr old we got thrashed 5-1 it never left me
It’s been said before and it’s worth saying again to remind those whose faith in the Red Army may be flagging- Chelsea have a small number of very good players who, in the course of a full league and European season, are absolutely guaranteed to get tired, injured and burned out before the end. Ferguson is doing a great job of rotating the squad, he’s keeping the players fresher (and it will be noticeable when we enter endgame) and he’s not dropped too many points doing it.
When Chelsea start to flag under the pressure of so many games United right on their heels we’re going to be perfectly situated to power through.
To be honest much as I fucking hate Chelsea it makes a nice change to have something approaching a worthy adversary in the Premiership. Chelsea play dirty, effective, football and they are a team we can be proud to beat. If winning the league was easy it wouldn’t be worth doing.
Just want to say that I think our youngsters are more than a match for the spurs first team, who are very much overrated. Welbeck and Macheda are more than a match for their defence.
Doghouse and Tony – Spot on lads. Sick to the fucking stomach of the plastics saying we will never catch the Rentboys. Fuck off. You obviously haven’t been a United fan long. We have been behind much better teams in the run in and done it. Said the same yesterday Doghouse that Fergie is the king of winning the league and rotating his squad to get the best out of them at the right time. Who would you rather be? Us having ground to make up coming up to our best part of the season form wise with 3 or 4 players to come in or the rentboys knowing Fergie and United are right up their arses and have been in this position dozens of times?
why are people saying chelsea is so strong? beating a toothless arsenal team doesn’t mean fuck all, even fucking city did it, in fact- have arsenal even beaten anyone in the top 10? do you guys not remember that our 3rd and 4th choice centerbacks kept the “fucking disgrace” that is drogba quiet? on top of that, there’s the african cup when we won’t lose any players, but chelsea, arsenal and city all will! chelsea will constantly be hearing our thunderous footsteps right behind them, and i’m confident we will catch up- here’s to an 8th consecutive draw for shitty
btw, have you guys read this ridiculous rumour about fergie wanting micah richards? i’m sure it isn’t true, he’s doing crap at city. in fact, if he had been doing his job right(marking owen), we might not have even had derby day bragging rights. am excited about tomorrow, i think the younglings will be raring to go even more now after coming under criticism after besiktas…do spurs play their first team in the carling cup?
Thats a great draw for the cup, the DIRTY sheep shaggin leeds scum!!!! Cant wait its been a long time!! As for Barca and Madrid and Ronaldo and Messi, fuck them all we are UTD and we are the biggest club the world has ever laid eyes upon!! Im lovin this Villa and Silva talk tho, whats the full story on this lads??
Bitters ‘n Dippers out
I am sorry, but why do y’all hate leeds, a league 1 team??
I am certainly not up to date
they were our toughest opponents 30 years ago? is it geographical? i reaaly dont know
Manchester united.
What a club . I think I’ll be a barca fan cause they won a match maybe I’ll be a Chelsea fan cause they won
holycow
“City probably aren’t the closest of rivals, but in terms of geography, if you like they are close rivals and it’s a game you want to win,”Paul Scholes said.
“But Leeds away was just pure hatred towards us, but we always did well when we went there and we thrived on it. Liverpool is the same. We have done quite well there, although we have lost a couple of times, which is no surprise because it’s a hard place to go.”leeds are one of our biggest but also a fantastic feeder club with Jordan, McQueen, Graham, Irwin, Ferdinand, Smith and, of course, Eric Cantona.
we all hate leeds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUpaLdsSFAE
5 points behind in december? come on, fellas, we’ve overcome much bigger gaps! are all the plastics that post in red rants moving here? funny how they think fergie has no clue, and rooney is not so great! don’t know if to be mad or just laugh.
i can’t remeber the last time we played leeds scum. i think it was a draw, wasn’t it? i think smithy scored, was a header, i think. lol seems ages ago!
Keano – It was 21st Feb 2004! It was 1-1 Scholes scored ours with Smudge getting the Scum goal!!! Not a great result at home, but Kleberson did start so maybe not so bad!! Keane got the winner in the earlier league game at Elland Road (Fletcher playing in the middle, No Kleberson!) We also managed to beat them in the league cup that season 3-2 , again at Elland Road….the only surprise with that game was that our goals came from Djembe Djembe, Bellion and Forlan….Go figure!

oh yea that scene in paranormal activity was so chilling a greatt horror, and for the first time in a while thats scared me.
King Eric
I am not bothering listening 2 that crap, king dont bother listening to that I am just relaxing not letting those comments piss me off. they could not do it with ronaldo there now hes goneyet they forget we should have had a penalty their free kick was not a free kick, drogba not only fouled brown but he was offside add the fact they were outclassed. we will see when they got to play united and they got to go to anfield and some of their team is on african nations cup and their team is not exactly young.
