Fabio Gives The Verdict On His Team Mates

Fábio on…

Rafael: “At home he only wants to mess around… he’s like a 10-year-old!”

Vidic: “He’s a raging bull! His behaviour changes… sometimes he’s smiling, other times he’s anxious and wants to hit you!”

Chicharito: “Everyone likes him… you know Mexicans, they’re always happy!”

Berbatov: “He’s also really quiet… you only hear his voice when he celebrates a goal!”

Park: “Whatever happens, he’s always there with a huge smile on his face!”

Evra: “He’s one of those guys who always wants to be perfect!”

Valencia: “He likes to mess around… takes the mickey out of everyone, but then pretends he’s all quiet!”

Nani: “Always joking, always laughing… he sometimes gets on people’s nerves!”

Giggs: “Everyone thinks of him as the old man of the team, because he helps the young guys a lot.”

Scholes: “A very English type of person… cold. He watches everything!”

Fletcher: “He loves UFC… watches it all day, records it, shows it to everyone. He knows all the Brazilian fighters!”

O’Shea: “He’s like a chess player… very intelligent, patient, always studies his opponent. He could be a manager…”

Anderson: “He’s so relaxed, he doesn’t care about anything! He doesn’t even sort his hair out properly!”

Owen: “He really likes horses… spends all day betting and talking about races!”

Bébé: “Everyone mocks him in the locker room for being a rookie, but he’s a good guy.”

Rio: “Scooby-Doo. Simple as that.”

Fábio on Rooney; “Shrek…”

    Nani sometimes gets on peoples nerves…
    Thats not because he’s a joker, it’s because he’s a twat.

    On Fabio … likes to play father figure to Rafael, very ambitious, … a small man with a giant heart …

  10. Berbatovs' love life says:

    favorite post of the year…was weeping with laughter!

  11. MG says:

    Sign him up.

    Wait…

    We have Rafael too!

    Are you sure Fabio said that or did Rafael?

    :lol:

  12. Danizizu says:

  14. man_utd_19 says:

    haha didn’t expect the Valencia one either

  15. akshay says:

    great to know valencia has an other side to him

  16. Malcum says:

    Shrek?.LMAO

  17. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Rio being scooby doo is about perfect. I absolutely love the guy. It must be a blast to be around him in training. Just seems like an absolute fun guy to be with.

    If I think Vidic wants to hit me… That sentence is better off not being completed.

    Lot of interesting comments in there, especially the one about Tony V.

    @MG, We just believe him when he says Fabio mate, nobody knows for sure. Like the article in the Guardian said, even Sir Alex confuses them. He shouts at one when he is supposed to be shouting at the other.

  18. k9 says:

    He makes Scholesy sound like a kingpin of some sort. Not that he isn’t, mind. Football won’t be the same without the ginger ninja.

  19. Whiteside says:

    Cool comment abou the ginja ninja, ice in his veins, the heart of an assasin and a laser-guided right boot!

  20. Billy-G says:

    Nice post i like it i must say i expected the comment about Vidic what a defender he is an iron of a man..i like to call him vidicator.

  22. willierednut says:

    I love the twins also, the Olsen twins that is. :D

  23. smartalex says:

    Another tremendous insight into life at Manchester United. Thank you Scott the Red.

    Fabio, honest and fearless. These boys are ready to take over the world.

  24. Whiteside says:

    What does Rio scooby doo mean? Does he go around in a hippie van solving mysteries?

  25. Ryandunny says:

    Well said Smartalex…well said :)

    Really surprised with Valencia if what Fabio is saying is true he really does the shy guy impression really well!

  26. Sketch says:

    Oh man. This made my day. Interesting comments about Valenica, never would have thought he is the type to joke around. Fabio is spot on about Nani, his personality reflects his playing style. So frustrating to watch, but is crazy good.

    Rooney= Shrek, hahahah. I love the fact that all the united players seem to be aware of that little nickname for Wazza.

    Rio- Scooby doo, made me laugh. lol.

    I love the twins. Dont even know which one I prefer, tbh.They are the same to me.

  27. ManChestHair says:

    poor scholes…surely he’ll leave now hehe

  28. willierednut says:

    Oh Bella Bella! double trouble!

  29. dannysoya says:

    LMFAO about rooney. scooby doo. LOLOLOLOLOLLLL.

  30. smartalex says:

    Thanks Ryandunny, I trust you are well! I haven’t been to your blog for a while, still waiting for more freedom before I roam more. I’ll be back!

  31. Neil says:

    MUFCReidy, fuck off with those comments. Fucking bin dipper posing as a United fan most likely. Cunt

  32. NBI Red Onion says:

    I think he meant scholes cold like James Bond, the most famous Englishman of all except ofcourse, no affairs with big breasted girls – right – moving on

  33. NBI Red Onion says:

    Also, it is not just the young guys Giggs helps, he has helped make one young Welsh girl rich and famous, no doubt taught her a thing or two about heading the ball and dribbling

    Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha :(

  35. wayne says:

    Willie olsen twins grew up weird and scary looking

  36. slim says:

    @Costas

    had no idea who the bella twins were. But boy oh boy do i know them now, Lord have mercy

  37. Svabbi says:

    COLD

    This word makes it sound like Scholes secretly assassinates people for the government when he´s not playing football. Is Fabio on to something here? How long do you give him now?

  38. Svabbi says:

    HE WATCHES EVERYTHING

  39. Svabbi says:

    I have a feeling some of those things have been lost in translation though.

  40. offworld says:

    that was a crackin post – nice one

  41. T4M says:

    Anyone who watches nani will understand what he means by getting on nerves!

  42. jellybean says:

    legend!!!!! of identical twins :D

    hello everyone! is it just me or do you guys have a good feeling about this final? was worried as fuck about the last one. i’d love a good thrashing, but knowing how our team loves scaring the daylights out of us, they’ll probably win the “Manchester United way”.Can’t wait!!! It’s soooo close.

  43. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Pretty much matches what i thought of the lads. Lol, at the Rooney one. Read somewhere that Rafael likes Rio the best, ahah cos he’s a big time joker.

    Haha Tony V does look that sort of sneaky really. Look at the way he was while celebrating. I guess he’s madly serious when playing, which is perfect, but a cracker off it. Haha, at the Vidic one too. He looks friendly when he smiles, but boy oh boy, just look at the expression on his face when he came running towards the linesman against Blackburn, and you’ll know what I mean, that says it all. Vidic you BEAST. :D

  44. CedarsDevil says:

    Loved his comment on Tony V, cheeky bugger had us all fooled with his serious face all the time! lol

  45. StatesideAussie says:

    From his comment about Scholes, I am guessing Scholes is one of those people who might seem quiet and reserved, except that you know he’s watching everything, takes it all in like a steel trap, gives nothing away about himself, and is at once the most dependable guy in the room — and the worst to pick a fight with. And to those with Latin blood in their veins, that can seem cold, but only because they tend to expect someone like that to be more demonstrative. I don’t think he means “cold” as in uncaring or unfeeling, but “cold” as in “under control” (not boiling over) and therefore, in a good way, dangerous.

  46. CedarsDevil says:

    StatesideAussie

    Nicely written (As usual may I add) You see we do not nick name him the Ginger Ninja for no reason.. Ninjas are known to be composed and very self assured, yet when you confront them they will fucking murder you! lol (Sorry Vidic, I know you do as well!)

  47. Perry says:

    Really surprised with Valencia one, i thought he can’t smile

  48. Jeet says:

    I think the most interesting comment is about OShea. Actually, come to think of it, if you notice his defending it makes sense. Doesnt go to ground easily, Mr. Dependable, and no wonder that a lot of preparation goes into it. He might make a good manager.

  49. RedDevil Ooh-Aah says:

    da silva brothers are just like Skids and Mudflap!!! :D

  50. The Count says:

    Fabio on Fergie, “He’s a potty-mouth! …once he even kicked a boot in the changing room. Off the field, he’s always helpful, but during a game he’s very strict, shouts at everyone, swears.”

  51. chuffer says:

    I love Fabio, I love the twins & I love United!!

    My mystic wife dreamt we won 2-1 !! She is sometimes uncannily accurate.

    For the record – I dreamt we beat Barca 2-1 the night before the Cup Winners Cup final in ’91

    Pre-games me & my son usually act out the games on FIFA11 on PS3 – I give him United (as he usually wins) & I played Barca…………..final score 0-0.

    I have got a fiver on both results!! Though to be honest 0-0 is unlikely!!

    It is squeaky bum time!!

  52. MUFCReidy says:

    Hahaha bin dipper! Im a season ticket holder at OT but Nani’s still an infuriating little prick who’d be more suited playing for Arsenal.

  53. PorkFriedRice says:

    I’m bookmarking this page

  54. wiuru says:

    Paul Scholes cold never lol .

  55. seasonticketholder says:

    well MUFCReidy, you are even more of a cunt than if you were a dipper!! Don’t come on her to slag united payers off, no-one wants to hear it! He’s our player of the year and you think he’d be better playing at the Emirates! Well, I think your a prick who’d be better off supporting A.B.U!!

  56. smartalex says:

    Well said seasonticketholder! It is a shame that so many true Reds are unable to attend Old Trafford, while cunts like MUFCReidy that clearly don’t love United steal seats.

  57. seasonticketholder says:

    it winds me up, there’s some old twat that sits behind me at OT who used to spend the whole game slagging players off (especially Carrick). I say used to, because he doesn’t anymore since i told him to shut his fucking mouth! I dont like Nani’s play acting at times, but to say the PL’s best player should be whith the Gooners is just madness! We are UNITED!!!

  58. smartalex says:

    seasonticketholder

    Well done for teaching that ingrate behind you. True Reds must defend United.

  59. cronekills says:

    I can’t imagine that about Valencia. I imagined him smiling as much as his left footed crosses: rare.

  60. and solskaer has won it says:

    I sense tension between MUFCREIDY and the rest of us…
    Can’t we all just get along ;)

  61. Jonkolabu says:

    Such a happy big family….

  62. Onside says:

    The twins remind me of those two hairy little fighters in ‘Nacho Libre’. They just jumped into the ring, 2 fireballs of energy, running helter skelter with the opposition’s heads panickingly turning left and right just trying to keep up with all the movement.

    I bet that’s how Arsenal’s defence felt in the FA Cup tie.

  63. RedSmiley says:

    cold-distant?
    He probably doesn’t have much in common with
    Scholesy and isn’t he also known for being the first to
    go home…

  64. aliyunaabbamanchesterunited says:

    scholesy seems to be like this in my thought
