Sir Alex Ferguson has sung the praises of Manchester United’s Brazilian twins, Rafael and Fabio Da Silva, and hopes that the injuries which have seen them miss so much of the season so far will become more infrequent the older they get.
“The two of them are terrific talents,” said Ferguson. “But they keep getting injuries, the kids are always getting them. I’m hoping that maturity eradicates all these things they have but it’s all different types of injuries you know. They’re so sturdy. They’re strong boys but, possibly, they’re a wee bit optimistic in terms of the challenges they make. They always put a foot in, in terms of attacking-wise, and are always getting injured going into attacking moves. The boys just don’t see danger. Bryan Robson was that way too, ‘Bang, on they go’. They’re only 21, you know, they’re young. You forget they were in the team as teenagers. I think both of them could play right-back [in the long-term]. There’s nothing between the two of them really. They are both excellent talents and really positive players. It’s what I love about them. They don’t have an inkling of fear in the way they play at all. They’ve always been really positive lads and it’s the Brazilian nature.”

Ah How i wish they werent injured so frequently, but my lord do they go on some wonderful attacking runs given the opportunity.
well rafa is back from injury hopefully fabio will be back soon
injur free twins will certainly help us push for TITLE NO 20
Only in terms of injuries boss, only in terms of injuries…..
Agree both are fearless in put there bids on the line in games. The injury Raphael picked up pre season game against barca is a perfect example, he picked up a knock from a challange from a barca player and WAC hobbling around waiting to get treatment when a 50/50 ball dropped right between him and another barca player, BOOM in he went again and laid the fucker out to set up a counter attack. Great potential for the future if they can get past the niggly injuries.
Damm auto correct!!!!
If Sir Alex sees a part of Robbo in the lads it’s a good sign in many ways, but I’m not sure their bodies can take it. God knows Robbo suffered.
So now someone is stealing my identity.
fake sachu so cheap of you.
By the way are you the guy who were using Capital S and now switched to small one?
I do see where the boss is coming from in many way. Yes the kids are fearless just as of course was Robbo, but they do need to mature in that sense as Sir Alex rightly said. Robson suffered every injury known to man, I hope the twins learn from that and start being a bit more careful… We need them both on the pitch!
Between the two of them, they absolutely tore apart LeArse in the FA Cup last year. Love them to bits…
The Gemini Wars!
Coz the three of them have curly hair.
Happy Birthday Jack Crompton, 90 today.

James!
Hope you are not that old to remember Jack’s playing days, or are you?
Going to the match pal?
Does the comment that they’ll both play right back in the future mean that young freyers is the long term answer to our left back spot? Personaly I think he looks a good prospect and as sir alex said, he’s an athlete
I can’t wait till we have a young yet mature back 5 of smalling jones da silva freyers and de gea .. I’m fucking drooling at the prospect of a squad of so many homegrown talents and youngsters such as da silva tunni ravel cleverly jones smalling danny its crazy, and I think they ready for prem action as a team.. Just think a team of de gea freyers smalling jones rafael cleverly tunniclife larnel cole morrison danny and kiko.. They’d finish at least 8th in the league and to think the not yet seasoned pros.. Can’t wait
sheppertonni – I saw that too.
It’s inexplicable – “paper chat”. In the two matches against UTD he wasn’t invisible but he certainly didn’t live up to the hype. Pablo Aimar was streets ahead of Gaitan.
Besides, don’t UTD have Nani and Young and Ravel Morrison to play Gaitan’s position ?
Happy Birthday Jack Crompton!
… and Prince Thomas, should you chose this moment to bless us with your presence.
What ever happened to Fabio being a left back……
Jones to win it with a belter from 40 yards? Think I would have a heart attack if that happens, although I would hang on to my last breath to see RVP net the winner at shitlands
Robbo >>>>> Da Silva’s
It seems our injury cloud always has Da Silva lining. Double trouble.
i am the real sachu arun sachu from india
i am not the guy who used capital s
Cedars
Morning mate
No I’m younger than M19ke.
Not going to the game today or Fulham, didn’t get tickets. So I shall come on here and watch over the doomlords and whingers with a few UTD UTD UTD chants. Although hopeing I don’t need to.
Curtis
I hope SAF starts playin Fryers more often. He looks prettty good and a Utd Fan.
Collyhurst Red
Hahaha, nice one and just touched my heart pal! Love the twins to bits but come ON its Robbo!
Robbo >>>>>> Any player that touched a ball post his era! hahahaha
Morning all
Off topic. People on here have differing opinions of MUST, however, they have sent a mail out this morning reminding people that Monday 19th December 2011 is the 80th Anniversary, to the day, of the date when James W Gibson saved Manchester United. Terrific read for those of us who aren’t as history savvy as some others.
James
Hahaha, sad to know you’re not going but I am glad that RoM will be in safe hands during the match…
By the way, I did send STR and email, should be getting in touch soon I hope
some one else just blogged under my name at 9.51
pls fuck offffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Denton
Agree totally, I’ve mentioned it a fed times, Aimar was the best player on the pitch during our Benfica ties.
There’s 2 sets of twins, one for the thread, the other threadbare.
Sew it up, before you have us in stitches as needles are pinned on an ass.
sachu
If what you saying in true then write an email to STR he will sort it out
I can’t recall the last time i have seen either of them playing a full 90 minutes! They are with United a long time now and still haven’t cemented their place in the first team. I wonder sometimes are their injuries more phsycological than anything else?!?!
This conversation between sachu reminds me of Smegol and Gollum.
Cedars thats good mate, I hadn’t heard anything when I mailed him so lets see.
Morning M19ke, I’ll take a look at that later.
Cedars & James
Easy fellas, don’t be putting me up there in the same age bracket as cedars and compton James, your a sandwich short of a picnic with that assumption, or is that an Oxford short of a picnic.
Mike
Morning pal, my typo syndrome is catching up to you it seems! hahaha
The original Holy Trinity of RoM is in the house baby, fuck ya! MG, Costas & Willie eat your hearts out! hahaha
Get the fuck stuck in you mighty REDS
Cedars, I absoulutely agree.
i am the real sachu i havent blogged for a while, came back yesterday, now some one else is blogging under my name.
http://tinyurl.com/cktm6mp completely off topic, but has anyone seen this keano bullshit? I dislike the man more and more every day
Agree with the Robbo>>>>> bit.
8 posts while I was typing, fuck I’m slow.
Cedars
What Dya mean typos, I meant to say “”fed times” Manchester slang?!?! Erm, I’ll get me coat!! Anyways, there’s a memorial on the bridge at 11.30 Monday for those that can make it. Basically, without this bloke, we wouldn’t be on this blog talking to each other as Manchester United would not exist! Shit that’s a frightening thought!!
Robbo >>> Keane. Never slated the manager or club. See Keane is at it again this morning.
Lets hope RVP can be as great as RVN and kill off them bitters!
M19ke
Ha Ha
Funily enough, coming from Stockport which is a town famous for Hat making, my 1st job was as a Hatter. I used to work for Christys on Hilgate. You know what they say ‘Mad as a Hatter’
robbo
Love your moniker but agree to what exactly pal?
It’s the first time I’ve seen a triple-decker with the top deck missing.
It must be the crazy-coach on it’s way to the game.
Yeah Gibson bought the club when it was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Love the Twins. Hope they make it.
On that note, why don’t the fans sing (based on the chorus from “Love Will Tear Us Apart”): “Twins, Twins will rear you apart, again” (behaviour genetics joke).
Mike
Hahaha, your typo was on your first thread you fool!
As for Keano, would never bring my self to dislike him but he best keep his gob shut
“You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin’ to? You talkin’ to me? Well I’m the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you’re talking to?”
absolute must win today got to put pressure on shitty
COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN MIGHTY REDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
7 seagulls
Yes mate, read it this morning. I agreed with Keane initially, I didn’t think what he said was really offensive, the way I saw it he was saying that the younger kids need to pull their sleeves up and realise they’re playing for Manchester United. Not a lot wrong with that. But Sir Alex took exception, which is his right, he protects his youngsters, but for Keane to drag up lack of support and statements etc, I think that’s just muddying waters. Someone needs to pick up the phone and say look, this is petty and tarnishing United let’s drop it.
Morning Reds twins will become world class if the injuries stop,i absoultly love the way both play the game.
Fuck me my TV listings has the game starting at 4.00am must be a hr pre game,remember as a kid Utd playing Estusiantes in the World Club Final,under the covers listening to the game on the radio,that was the middle of the night aswell,the game was fixed Utd got robbed.
So the Barca/Santos game is on watching that lasted 10 mins,Yanks are the fucking worst at calling a football match add the Barca wank factor PAINFULL,every pass the cunt has his dick out.
Pratyush
RVP is actually greater than RVN!
Good spot James 21, regarding Jack Crompton’s 90th birthday today – Many Happy Returns, Jack.
I never saw him play, but I did see him next to Matt Busby many times when he was a ‘trainer’ with United in the Sixties. He’s best known as the goalkeeper in the 1948 FA Cup Final, when his crucial saves helped United beat Blackpool 4-2. He joined Luton as a trainer after retirement and then returned to United in that capacity after Munich and assisted Matt all the way through to the European Cup victory in 1968. He was ‘old school’ in many ways, but well liked and respected by players. He put in place the fitness regime that enabled Albert Scanlon to return from career-threatening injuries at Munich, and no doubt helped many others, although by modern-day standards the methods would be regarded as crude . But most of all he was a steady character, a man of integrity whom everyone could trust, someone who played a crucial role for United, on and off the pitch.
Smartalex
Morning fella.
James – I used to live in Edgeley, bin past the hat museum a good fed times! Mad as a hatter indeed!
One, two, buckle sachu
Three, four, oh no not more
Five, six, clever tricks
Seven, eight, it’s too late.
@smart alex
wat do u mean by that my friend
Cedars
Thought you’d like that.
Robbo is one of my all time favourites, fearless, committed, skilful, energetic, loyal, liked a drink!
One of the best pictures/video of of him and Brucie lifting the premiership trophy, class!
Smartalex
9-10 where’s the neurofen, my ankles killing me!
Cedars
No way man RVP is good, but Ruud owns him. I mean consecutive 40+ goal seasons? Haven’t seen that from RVP, have we?
Ohh my gash this is painful. fake sachu I have been posting here for a long time. You come back yesterday and now you claim to be sachu.
Lol First the Capital S Sachu now another person claiming to be sachu.
I feel someone don’t like me here.
A wonderful and informative post from Giles Oakley about Jack Crompton, thank you.
Happy 90th Birthday me old sparrow!
another fake post at 11.04 i dont know how to solve this problem
i’m the real sachu everyone else is a imposter,is there a prize involved?
Hahahaha Lets all laugh at the joke of smartalex. IDIOT
@smartalex that was not me i have just contacted str abt my problem
Enough of this crap fake sachu. I will sue you
Da Silva twins with a calmer temperament would be an improvement. We don’t want them running around like PES players on a flat screen!
Unfortunately didn’t sleep long enough to miss Sunday Supplement earlier. They were talking UBER shite about our possible re-statement into the Champions League, and those silly twats actually looked incensed without a HINT of hypocrisy.
Right… so when Pompey faced a 9 pt docking didn’t other EPL teams inadvertently benefit?
Fenerbahce were kicked out CL just this season & replaced by Trabzonspor with no fuss.
When Juventus were docked 30 pts recently didn’t other Italian clubs inadvertently benefit?
Look at this years Italian scandal – clubs regularly benefit from the punishments of others.
But oh no…. just the suggestion of UNITED benefiting from Sion’s punishment and people are saying it would be a “mockery” if we get back into Europe. How? How the fuck is it a mockery exactly?
Did these muppets cry foul when Rooney was reinstated after his last red? Course not. The media looked the other way when England chased down the authorities and asked for the rules to be massaged. You gotta laugh at the double standards, they don’t even try to hide it! Manchester United didn’t chase down Sion FC, Fifa, Uefa or anybody, did we? Alex left the Champions League giving credit to Basel, and its only because of sods law theres a chance we could return. How are we the villians in all this?
Anyway without ranting too much, all these commentators talking about embarrassment, and unfairness, and whatever else, they can all go fuck themselves. Knew it would come down to this as soon as I read about Sion. I for one am not going to feel bad about being lucky, what kind of mind fuck is that anyway? Manchester United are not allowed to be lucky? Since when? Teams benefit from other clubs being punished all the time and this situation is no bloody different just because its us.
Bottomline, if England are not EMBARRASSED to field Rooney in the 2012 group stage then United supporters shouldn’t feel awkward by a possible return to the CL. Really not surprised the media are already suggesting we don’t “deserve” it, they’d probably prefer Sion not to be punished just so we don’t benefit. Meanwhile, with a London final coming up im sure the media would be talking of “Fairytales” if it was a London side with a life line. Europa or Champions League, I honestly don’t mind what happens in Europe this year, but there is nothing to be embarrassed about if we’re called back imo. Only an idiot slaps lady luck in the face.
Collyhurst Red
Touche my friend
wayne – Hi mate, so there is a game going on involving Barca it seems? Not in the least bit interested, but you are right when they play suddenly a wank fest erupts in the media! lol
pls sue me. i have just contacted str
i am ARUN SACHU FROM INDIA and i am from india kerala to be exact
i have a facebook account .
yeah that post saying i was sachu wasn’t me either,mind you a fake wayne might improve my comments.All very confusing at 4.00am in the morning ROMS being invaged by shifters
Mikekelly12 – happy match day, buddy! I’ve just been distracted watching highlights of Chelsea throw it away yesterday. Wigan did also do well.
Put some whisky in a plastic bag and breathe it in throughout the day, or better still a hubbly through whisky. You will only remember your ankle tomorrow, but put your safety harness on first.
Chico on the bench!
I am sachin from delhi. My nickname is sachu. Now you are happy Arun
@Cedar at 3.30am limited viewing
Enough of S(s)achu-gate……
BBC…….
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side are unchanged for their visit to Loftus Road but Javier Hernandez returns on the bench alongside Dimitar Berbatov, who also returns after injury.
ok then its fine
On the Keano issue, I cannot take sides. On one side is a man who orchestrated our success and on the other is one who actually contributed on the field and made things happen. How do you choose between the general sitting in the bunker and the soldier who gave sweat and blood for his cause on the battlefield? Nope, I can’t.
You could argue that one of them needs to be big about it and drop the whole thing, for the sake of the club. Or maybe all this is a charade to keep the focus off of United’s current issues on the pitch?
I really do believe that Roy Keane is one of the best players who have played for United..but his comments and the shit that comes out of his mouth since he left United, make me think twice…he’s a bitter bitter arroagnt man.
CHICHARITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ON THE BENCH
All this sachu nonsense is becoming annoying… If indeed there are more than one than for fuck’s sake sort it out with STR and stop spouting all this crap here
Sir Giles
Hi mate.
Off Topic
This was in last weeks programme
Jack Crompton, who served Utd for nearly 40 years and is the last surviving member of our 1948 FA CUP winning side, will be 90 next Sunday. The goalkeeper signed for Utd in 1944 and was a solid and reliable figure in Matt Busby’s 1st great side, pulling off a vital save in the 48 Wembley final from Blackpools great Stan Mortensen with the scores locked at 2-2 to set up that famous 4-2 victory and help earn Busby’s 1st trophy. Crompton soon faced competition from Reg Allen and Ray Wood, and in October 1956 took up a coaching role at Luton. He made an emotional return in 1958, to assist Jimmy Murphy in the aftermath of Munich, and stayed in the backroom staff, on and off, until 1981. Jack remains a regular and much loved figure in and around Old Trafford,- anyone with United at heart should raise a toast to the Red Legend for his Landmark birthday.
If I can still go to Od Trafford when I reach 60 I’ll be happy, 90 is a gigantic landmark.
M19ke
I have/Had a picture in the Hat Museum, not been there for about 6 years tho, they could have taken it down.
Both sachu’s fuck off!
As for Keano and the boss. That needs to be sorted out asap. It reflects badly on the club. Two stubborn blokes, so someone will have to step in and sort it possibly. I love Keane the player, but he should keep his own council sometimes. That boss shouldn’t engage him either. Fergie knows what Keano is like by now. Anyways, love both lol.
Back to the game! Hoping for any type of win, then watch the rest battle it out. Good luck the goon squad.
willie- You fuck off you asshole.
will the real “sachu” please stand up!!!
sorry sachu whoever the right sachu is,couldnt help myself..lol
Yeh Willie. Leave sachu V sachu alone, or is it Sachu.
The precious is ours.
COME ON REDS!
sachu-3 (11:27)………
Chill man, Willies comment was directed at the other 2 sachu’s, and there was a smiley at the end.
Manchester United:
De Gea, Evra, Jones, Ferdinand, Evans, Rooney, Smalling, Carrick, Nani, Welbeck, Valencia. Subs: Berbatov, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Young, Lindegaard, Fryers
This thread is sachurated.
Collyhurst Red
I can hardly type I’m laughing so hard at your “directed at the other 2 sachu’s,”
Hysterical!
Now was that the fake sachu telling Willie to fuck off or the real one
Come on United! We’re in for a great game! Fuck yeah!
We could all change our name to sachu for an hour, see if we still know who’s who.
I’m sachu. No I’m sachu. Ok I’m Sparticus…,.,
Where’s Biggus Dickus?
Anyway enough of this there’s a game about to start.
Quietly confident about today.
Fuck that i want to be Mr Black
There’s an imposter in Blandings!!!
I will be enjoying if I get a chance to kick smarty boys stinking ass.
Both sachu’s! I’ll fart in your general direction!
In terms of attitude maybe, but if they don’t start emulating him in terms of toughness, they won’t stay at the club as long as Robbo did. And like I said elsewhere, I don’t consider them “kids” anymore. It’s like saying Ronaldo was a kid in 06-07…
COME ON REDS!
OVER FUCKIN RATED
Willie- Boy its easy to fight in net. I bet I will break your 32 teeths , If you have 32.
This thread has turned into sachu joke.

seen this as yet?
“I’m Brian!”
sachu – You couldn’t break eggs!
“I’m Brian and so’s my wife”
willie
I may not break eggs but For sure I can break your balls.
Ashley – You couldn’t break wind!
That wasn’t the real Willie. It was Paco.
Sounds like just another wind-up.
He’s blew a gasket! Smelly afterthought!
They’re exhausting. All hot air and thunder, not enlightening.
Very frightening, and skidmarks too! Give him some andrex!!
He shouldn’t beat himself up, look at Jim Carrey as me, myself and Irene.
People like him always beat themselves up. He’s a good egg, though. Real solider!
The double-yolk was on him, so he cracked.
Junior: So, you and Tony egg, then?
Tony: Tony egg? Tony B!
Tony uncle sachu, or tony uncle sachu?
Fuck me, the fuck has been fucked! hahaha

Wtf someone stole my name noe. Willie it wasnt me someone using my name and creating confusion.
smartalex always needs someone to fight. Pathetic boy.
I am doubting is smartalex the other sachu?
The twins are awesome… I’ve only seen Robbo play a few times on videos but he’s pretty good! It’s a very good compliment for the da silva. Hope they keep developing
Lebo manc
I assume by your moniker that you are a son of the cedars?
Hope they come back soon and stronger than ever. I still remember rafa’s performance against Valencia away in the champions league last season. If he can find that form again then that would be amazing.
please dont call rafael….rafa was a fat waiter who managed the scousers and got nailed to the wall…
LOL that’s why I never call him Rafa.
Cedarsdevil
ya I am a daughter of the cedars
