It was a moment we will have probably forgotten in a year from now, but at the time, it felt like one of the worst moments of the decade.
The return of Carlos Tevez to Old Trafford had been built up beyond belief, with some sections of the press claiming he should be greeted warmly, whilst others recognised that he was deserving of the abuse he would receive.
It was the first derby day we might not actually be the favourites for, with The Richest Club In The World (TM) having a perfect start to the season and holding their own against a United side who had just sold The Best Player in the World (TM).
A mistake from the keeper swung the game in their favour and we went in at half time having a battle on our hands. Fortunately, we came out for the second half showing we were clearly the better team. This continued for the whole half, with City’s defence shitting themselves and our lads slaughtering them. We made it 3-2 and just had to run the game out.
But then Rio Ferdinand got on the ball just inside our half and did something unthinkable. He attempted to flick the ball over Craig Bellamy’s head, who had been their best player of the day. What the fuck was he thinking aboit? At 5-0 up I wouldn’t expect one of our players to attempt such a thing, so just weeks after Wayne Rooney was let off a lapse of concentration against Arsenal, you certainly wouldn’t expect the best centre in the country to be guilty of such an error.
Sir Alex Ferguson has today spoken about Rio’s lacking form, which has spread in to his International performances, as well as for club.
“I don’t think he has had any spell like this since he joined the club, that’s for sure,” said Ferguson. “I think all players worry about their form if they’re making mistakes and getting criticism. They have to. They wouldn’t be human if they didn’t. So it’s an unusual experience for him. But he will get through it, I’m sure of that. We all go through little phases where we need to correct our game or take a step up. I’m sure he’ll do that. I’m sure he has taken on board the criticism he has had and, with his ability and experience, he should be coping with that type of thing.”
Man Utd News 24/7
Form is temporary class is permanent
I agree with boam6.
3rd that!!
4th that, Rio will be back to normal soon. As soon as he get’s 4,5 games on the trot under his belt all will be forgotten
i think rio at times was not 100% fit and therefore uncharacteristic mistakes. hopefully he’ll get back to his best since he said he’s injury nightmares are behind him. he’s the best centre half in the world after all. tiny tears is’nt even fit enough to lick his boots, nor vida. agree with baom6 as well.:-)
5th that :p More articles Scott please.
VDS back for today too hey? sweet!… if he gets thru it ok.
I disagree – Rio is finished!
(just kidding)
I think his main problem is that he is too tentative because he is afraid he will get reinjured. I don’t know if he can become the player he was 2 years ago, but he is still one of the best. And the sooner he gets some form back, the sooner Evans can have his operation. It’s something he can’t ignore forever.
Rio has always been complacent and prone to loss of concentration. 07/08 season was an exception. I remember him making a lot of mistakes the season he signed for us. The ability is there but sometimes his attitude is not right at times. What he did against city was unforgivable. I prefer the no nonsense attitude of vida.
Didn’t see the games for England, but except from that error against City, Rio hasn’t been that bad and people still wonder if he’s ever played as badly as this. Says quite a bit about what we’re used to seeing from him and how consistent he usually is. Vidic has been looking at least as shaky at times. Anyway, I’m sure Rio will be back with top performances in no time. He is class.
I 6th that. I’m nearly sure the guys bricking it, thinking he won’t be on that oul plane to SA. He’s gonna sort it.
Yip.
Anybody knows what lineup the fans might see for the game against Bolton?
Hope Aston Villa could hold Chelsea at bay.
manchester academy 3 – city academy 0 half time
Rio alongside Vida and EVDS have been a vital, vital cog in our recent glory days. And I expect ‘em to carry on just that. Vida is the best centre-half in the world.
chelsea cheating again..pen all day
we got fucking clattenburg today, we’ve had 1 point in the last 4 games his reffed of us
Any word on Berba?
Not concerned about Rio, all he needs is games to get his sharpness back. Considering the fact that VDS will be in goal, I belive this will up Rio’s confidence and he will play comfortably and with ease.
Aston villa 1-1 chelsea. Hopefully they’ll draw.
Come back Disco Rio!!
Love the way he dubs opposition attackers with his disco feet!
dunnes turning into a legend for me….keeps scoring against our rivals
Has Rio been distracted by his other business? Hope he’ll put in a MOTM performance against Bolton tonight.
I still say wen rio’s fit and on form, he’s still the best center half in europe. villa 2 1 up
He’ll come good.Its just his concentration thats all.
Maybe he has too many fingers in pies through his business.
Concentrate on the football Rio mate!
van der sar, neville rio evans evra, valenica carrick anderson giggs, owen berbatov…subs: kuszack, brown, nani, scholes, welbeck, o’shea & macheda
wheres vidic
Vida has a slight knock no point taking any risks wiv the scum nxt wk.
Vidic was substituted last weekend and didn’t play in Wednesday. We never heard whether it was an injury problem or not. Fergie was tight lipped yesterday. Fletcher is also absent from the squad…
Happy with that line up. Great to see van der sar back involved and a run out for neville. evans deserves another start for his performances recently and it gives rio another chance at getting his fitness back .he’s still the best centre half in england and will prove it once more when back to full fitness. Hope to see more from Valencia today who’s been a bit hit and miss so far , i think he just needs more confidence after a settling in period. love seeing Ando on the teamsheet, hope he grabs the opportunity and berba and owen looked mint in pre-season together, hopefully we won’t miss rooney too much! come on lads
Maybe SAF is already looking to the moscow trip because it will be difficult.still think Bolton are there for the taking.we should just handle kevin Davies well and that should be enough.
2 0, berba and owen to get the goals.
rentboys beat 2 1 now lets do a job on bolton.
We could go top tonight. I hope Owen and Berbs click well. It’s the first time they start together.
@ Costas
“An ankle injury to Nemanja Vidic means Rio Ferdinand and Jonny Evans form the centre-half partnership”
from the bbc. sorry Fergie ))
Chelsea lost so we have to beat Bolton. I hope Berba keeps his top form.
Where’s Vida and Fletcher? Are they injured?
I hope Ferdinand has a cracking game. Gary Neville is starting as well.
VDS is back. Im so happy.Come on lads. Lets keep a clean sheet and go on top!
Thanks Corea. I hope it’s nothing serious. Vida has to play at Anfield and make amends for last year.
Brown again not playing. The saddest story for me.
i think todays game depends pretty much on how carrick and anderson play. if they are composed and feed the likes of giggs, berba and owen then we should have no problem and rio and evans shouldnt have much to do all game..if they are sloppy then we could have an open game like against sunderland.. my prediction 2-0 berba to score since hes just on fire at the moment!
on a side note, anybody else impressed with the way chelsea have been playing going forward? (esp against villa) it seems like ancelotti has the diamond formation working to perfection for them…lets see how badly the african nations cup affects them..
OWEN!
united just gone 1 up and liverpool just gone 1 nill down
This could be a great day for us. Fingers crossed
Sunderland are beating the shell of liverpool 1nil
Haha the goal against the dippers came off a balloon, this could be a great day for us with the renties losing and hopefully the dippers as well!
haha balloon…priceless!
Some fella just came over to us in the pub and said us this Emily the united fan and wanted a photo with her emily said no and he’s stinky like Liverpool ha ha ha
anyone wanting to do the live updates.i can give it a try
there was a rugby match played on the pich.not looking in great condition
GHTT, I thought I was United’s biggest fan but it seems that I came second, after Emily.
Anyway, should we start thinking that Giggs is on steroids? He plays like a maniac!
” The title is our to lose now” Ancelotti two weeks ago.
It certainly is, caro amico.
looks like an open game.Bolton are trying to get men forward.They have to now having one 1 down
aig – I am a wedding do at five so can’t make game. What are you watching it on please mate?
united get a corner.carrick tries to flick it in the 6 yard area but ball goes wide of the post
King Eric
On Star Sports back here in India.i an updating if anything major happens.valencia lets one fly from 20 yards but saved by jaskellianen
liitle bit o chaos in the United penalty area but cleared.Bolton players going down too easily
Defence looking a bit slack at times but apart from one chance for davies bolton ahve not created anything
bolton seeing more of the ball now.United giving away some cheap free kicks
free kick to bolton just ouside the area.United need to keep the ball.Bolton dominating posession .Free kick straight at Van Der Sar. Rubbish attempt
Has anyone got a stream please? Cannot find fuck all.
Kevin Davies chests the ball down for Matt taylor whose shot flies just wide.United are struggling a bit now
Goallllllllllllll Valenciaaaaaa
great play between neville and Valencia and valencia scores from 12 Yards
What a goal!!!
goaalllllllllllll valencia

Costas, ANYBODY!!!! Give me a link please lads!
king Eric
http://www.atdhe.net/index.html
now a dippers defeat will make it the perfect weekend.comme on Sunderland
king Eric hope itime is working.i will try to find more at half t
aig – Thank you very much mate. Thank god for the Republik of Mancunia and thank fuck I go to the games as I could not be doing with this carry on every week!!
aig – No its perfect mate.
valencia is looking inspired.getting back to help neville on many ocassions
Hi King Eric. I couldn’t post my link. I use Sopcast for times like this.
great interplay from the team so far today. Giggs and Valencia have both been especially good
Is it me or is the team looking more “free” out there? as if some sort of burden has been lifted of them?
Berbatov,Owen,Anderson,Valencia look well up for it and the likes of Neville and Giggs are running like they are 18!.
United in more control now.That should be game over and probably a rest for berba and valencia
I cant believe this a BALOON has scored against the dippers!!
van der Sar ahs ahd some good catching practice but no difficult save.another effort straight at VDS
Half time
half Time.United lead 2-0
SEVENTY % possession.
hahahahahahah Reina defended against a Liverpool baloon hahahhahahah
Strange game. Giggs didn’t play for 2 weeks. Substitute him and play in Moscow and Liverpool. We need him there. I don’t know for how long his form will carry on.
He tried to save the baloon while the ball went in. Can’t wait to watch it on MOD
Expect manunitedslagger on here tonight saying how Valencia isn’t a “flop” and he is a great purchase.
It’s the first kind of relaxed game at OT this season. I hope we don’t allow them back in the game though.The defense is still a bit shaky.
For your half time amusement:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-m3agxvwYY
Just download tvu player and search the channel “Vrijblijvend” COmmentary is in hungarian but the picture quality is excellent.
Else go on rojadirecta.org and search “manchester united” then choose a stream, although the picture quality isnt always as good as on tvu player.
Suprisingly Berba’s touch is off today. :S. I seriously havent seen him lose the ball as much as he has today before in a game. Valencia and Neville are both excellent going forward but need to mark Mathew Taylor better as he is probably their best player. Evra is a beast. His pace and energy is out of this world. His little passes with Giggs are very impressive but needs to mark that korean kid on the left better (Dont know his name). Decent first half. VDS has been solid. Hope we carry on bombing forward and try and improve our goal difference.
He’ll be on here saying he didnt score 16 goals to match his price tag and thus is a failure.
Oh and it’s Berbatovs fault that Valencia sucks, the recession took place and that terror is on the rise
King Eric
i was going to say the same thing myself.man utd slagger will no doubt be here but will say Bolton are a poor side and we should not read too much into this win
off topic but is there no end to this Judas baby no back bone cunt’s whingeing? He wants to stop playing for the Argies because he is treated badly. No fucking back bone.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/oct/16/fifa-diego-maradona-argentina-obscene-tirade
Costas
Thanks for that. Ha. Couldnt find it anywhere and didnt really know what everyone was talking about. Hahahahahah. Riena’s reaction was priceless. He didnt know which one to defend.
sketch
he scores a hat trick on wednesday becomes a father the next day.returns on Friday and then on Saturday he turns up for United.not easy for a 29 yeard old
underway in 2nd half
GET KIKO ON!!!!
Fuck you Kevin Davies you dirty prick… He is always a dirty cunt on evra.
patrice evra makes another marauding run and is fouled just outside the box on by davies.
zat knights header is saved by van der sar.decent save
brilliant flick from Berba and owen takes too many touches and knight makes a last ditch tackle to deny him
Damn,Mikey could have bagged a hat trick!
Berbas looking OK down here
@ Five – I think the reason they are playing with more freedom is because VDS is back.
Valencia, nice one.
another great ball by berba but another last ditch tackle on valencia .wasnt a penalty
ryan giggs weaves way past the bolton Centre backs but shoots straight at the GK
Rest Giggsy for the trip to Anfield!
good ball by valencia in the box and another bicycle kick by berba forces jaskelinaen into a great save
Great to see crowd singing Berba’s name!! Should be six.
valencia is looking good down the right.very lively but his decision making can improve
Berba’s like a real life video game character. When he takes a shot, it’s always something jaw-dropping
BERBATOVS ON FIRE
van der sar looking calm as usual .no worries when the big dutchman is in goal.
berbatov is really on FIREEEEEEEEEEE.another sexy flick
United are really hammering bolton now.another cornut bolton clearer b
Berba and Owen look excellent together. Van der Sar is the difference today. No nerves or jitters.
U can feel the difference in the defence’s confidence with VDS back. Hope he stays fit.
gaming slowing a bit know.Foul on Van Der Sar so boltons goal dosent count but arieally they are a threat
van der sar really looks confidence.another ball and VDS catches it comfortably
Giggs is in magnificent form….afternoon all, just got home from work
bolton score.poor defending.davies cross is headed in by matt taylor who ahs been boltons best player
Wake the fuck up lads!
WTF!!! talk about switching off at the back… come on lads!!! at a 3rd!!
hope we dont have to pay for those dozens of missed chances
Soft goal
united are losing the ball in dangerous areas and bolton are looking good on the break
why arent we making any subs, fgs.
Anderson is getting stupid now. OFF!
carrick fouls taylor and bolton have another free kick.cleared somehow.United looking nervous at the back
It’s embarassing how vulnerable our defense is in the air when Vidic is missing.
bolton corner.cleared.everyone back defending now
everyone giving the ball away cheaply now.really nervous last few minutes
bloody annoyed of this charity-fest, this game should have been over ages ago, fucksake.
o shea comes on for evra and welbeck is on for owen
Welcome Danny boy!
what about Andewrson going off???
Stay calm stay calm boys, they scored we just have to see it out. Tight defence, quick counter-attack. 2-1.
defences are sixes and sevens.defence looking ragged.hope we hold on
Get the fuck off, predator.
sir alex chewing his gum more vigorously now.SCHOLES IS ON FOR ANDERSION
about time scholes on Anderson off
finally united manage to get the ball in the Bolton half but it dosent last long and posesion is wasted
Smart substitutions
O’Shea and Welbeck add height in the air and Scholes will help retain possession. Lets see this out lads!
United have a chane to break but it goes begging
klasnic shoots from just outside the box but it flies wide
4 added minutes
Sir Alex looking at his watch.sure he will deliver a lecture for the poor performance in the last 15 minutes
great chacnce for bolton but zat knight heads over the bar and united escape
Scholes on, that should keep possession calm it down, this is just nerves, ned to work on that and VDS back will help, they have the talent to see it out and score again, relax, relax, enjoy.
Sir Alex could chew gum for Britain, I wonder if he chews the same gum all game or changes at half time, also which gum.
giggs trying to waste time and earns a throw.
Seriously. O shea has the control of a baby elephant
I am on my knees..praying…please…finish now…let’s win this
valencia puts the defender under pressure but shoots tamely at the keeper
another great chacen for bolton but gary cahill heads straight at VDS from 6 yards
FULL TIME UNITED WIN 2-1 and go to he TOP OF THE LEAGUE
Final whistle! WE WON! Phew they were some tired international legs out there at the end, but top of the table, here we are.
Holy shit!
This match is fast forgotten for me. Argh!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh
very very nervy finish but 3 points nonetheless!! bring on the dippers
Ouf! That was close in the end. We better get out shit together defensively. That’s 12 goals in 13 games.
Why do we always have to do it the hard way?
should of scored miore, was all over them untill near the end
7 mins for pool…RAFA TIME!
Fuck, that got harder than it had to be. We played some great stuff before their goal and should have been four or five up. But we won and that’s the important thing. I thought Valencia was great today. He’s still finding his feet but I think he has real potential. It was great too see him cut inside sometimes today, trying different things instead of always trying to race past the full back on the outside.
An easy game with 3 or 4 goals just after the international break would have been too good to be true i guess….at least the 3 points are in the bag.
Dippers lose. Penshioners lose. It’s a good day for Devils!
Rat munchers f****d. Great night for us.
sunderland beat liverpool 1-0.
REMEMBER.THIS IS THEIR YEAR, DONT RULE THEM OUT.
I have to say Owen should have put it to bed with the chances he had but the guy clearly needs more games, he has a chance now Rooney is out to get his eye in and play off Berba’s monster talent. Berbs is now doing great on a consistent basis, that is great to see, I would pay to watch him, he is class, now he is making his impact felt.
Sunderland beat Liverpoo’s!!!!!
5-4 to FSW. Well done.
Cheers for that link aig.
@aig alex: hahaha!
4 defeats out of 9 games. Be prepared for a new set of factz ahead of next sunday=D
Oh what a great day! And now I will eat my feijoada and wait for the Barcelona game.
@willierednut
welcome mate.glad that you could catch the game and that link was helpful
A win at Anfield and it will be 50% result. Fairly impressive.
hahaha.
Bring in Fletch, Roon, Vida and get the fucking revenge for last year. What a game.
Wow, what a nervous 2nd half for me. The team was too laid back from leading with two goals. And once again they become shaky and nervous when the opponent scored one.This has happened quite a few times now. They need get this sorted out. Anyway, Valencia was great. So are Berba, Owen, and Giggs.
And lol @ dippers. 7 min injury time and still lost. How dare they use the Fergie time?
Good game, good performance except the last 30 minutes or so. Bolton almost snatched it, phew! Giggs was brilliant, evra had me in a panic fit when he was getting treatment, ando played good, valencia was excellent and berbatov is just magical. Owen had a dozen chances, could’ve scored 4. Infact, we should’ve won 6-0 today, and wtf was wrong with the defence at the end of the second half.
All in all, it’s just so great to have VDS back, he’s been missed. We’ve conceded too much in his absence, I would just love it if we can go on a run of clean sheets like last season.
3 vital points, and on top of this, dippers lose, rentboys lose, and WE’RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE. I don’t know about you guys, but I am really starting to believe that the possibility of winning the league come may is very feasible, hence they keep dropping points in the next few weeks.
Why were we shitting ourselves at the end? Cahill should have buried us there at the death. Wow thats a get out of jail free card.
But this game shouldn’t have even been close. It was almost too easy up until about the 70th min. How many wasted chances did we have? Or get into good positions and fuck up the final ball?
Oh well, I guess its the 3 points that matters.
The eventual champions ( I honestly have no idea who it could be…) will have a very low points total. It will have to be one of the lowest in recent memory.
how the hell in the world did that Berba’s beauty go in? talking about paying superb consistently, that is way beyond superb! i mean, against sunderland, the bicycle kick, and today that volley..
erm..dippers who?? scousers who???
Also, lol @ the dippers losing from their own fans doing. Balloon 1 – 0 Liverpool.
Also, we have got to, come hell or high water, rape the dippers at anfield.
@ Drew Vader
not necessary. we are now on a good number of points comparing to the previous seasons.
berbatov is on fire…flick is a 5 year old plaything for him…
we need berbatov more than we need anybody else on the team right now…he is the key player in man utd team nowaday…
maybe this what it feel like watching cantona week in and week out…
@Drew Vader
I agree. This season is and will be very competetive throughout it, and the lower teams will be challenging strongly without fear and score more goals against the big four, it’s already happening. Although I am not sure about chealsea and liverpool anymore.
And if we win the league we will possibly have a very low points total because of the points dropped against lower oppositions. I don’t mind if we win the league with 60 points, number 19 and 4th league title on the trot is more important.
Ladies and Gents the Liverpool Kid who shall be forever pardoned by me at least:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5V0wfB3Iic&feature=player_embedded
Thank-you kid you truly are a United agent at work : )
Now if only Benitez puts that in his after match rant as Clint used to say:
That will make my day – punk : )
The premier league is definately the strongest league forget Spain their lower teams are a joke – look at the leagues lower teams, on their day they are taking points of the usual 4 on a regular basis, this is one tough league, so alot is going to depend on how we deal with these teams as they are stronger and they are not intimidated by the top 4 the way they were.
Arsenal are the dark horse I think, they have a game in hand, win that and they are a point behind us and they are canning the lower ranked teams at the moment – my bet is it will be Asenal and United and that Chelsea will struggle a bit as they lose their best players to African cup of Nations- CIty also lose Adebayor.
So maybe we will see the traditional Arsenal – United fight for the league – that would be my bet the way its shaping up and that means we need to get Hargreaves back and protecting the back 4, someone needs to help Evra out with headers.
OFF TOPIC – CHAMPION SWAP – one thing I was thinking about, forget the 39th game abroad, I think once every 4 or 6 years the top teams in Spain and England could swap – e.g.. United swaps stadiums etc with Barcelona and then lets see how we cane the Spanish teams – what do you think? Then we will see who is stronger and all those players who want to experience playing in Spain or EPL get a chance without moving clubs – what do you think guys? FOr us fans it could be great I would travel to Barca to watch Utd- also their tickets are cheaper!
it is a bit worrying watching Rio stand there while the ball went back to Bolton who crossed it for their goal. there was a moment when I thought he should have tried to intercept it…but he seems like he will not do any quick sprints towards the ball….it has got to be his back. Something is preventing him from the quick acceleration that we used to see out of him.
Corea — Thats true and a good point… Its just I see us and the other contenders as well, dropping points against the “lower” sides. I mean, we got out of jail today and against Sunderland, and those were both at home. It will be tough this year.
Thats also a good point Fre… I won’t mind if we win #19 on goal difference.
Drew Vader – but we won fairly easily against Stoke, Tottenham and Wigan.
Time will tell but for me it’s still a good chance of 90 points.
Guys, i am kinda worried ahead of the Liverpool game. I can’t believe scousers will be 5-5 after 10 games but we need to bury them. We are top of the league, nothing to lose. Play Giggsy, get Roon, Vida, Fletch back and get the job done.
rio is not at his best again…
he definately got to sort it out…
he can do something to prevent the cross for bolton goal
Another good point… I’m just a bit of a pessimist I guess
But don’t you just love the FSWs arrogance?? I would be willing to bet that if pressed both Gerrard and Torres could have gone today, but they rested them looking ahead to our visit thinking “oh its just sunderland, Lucas, Babel and Sloth can do enough to beat Sunderland” and look what happens. Get In!!
A win is a win. The lads took their foot of the pedal and let Bolton in for the last 30 or so mins.
Berba did great today also with valencia getting his 1st prem goal it will do wonders for his confidence.
Seeing rentboys and bindippers lose on same day as United win is always good
Top of the league and thats a fact
And can you imagine the abuse that lad is going to get at school??? He is already ginger, and looked a tad heavy, and now THIS?? HAHAHAHAHA
Corea @ 17:53 – I agree, my pre-season “prediction” was that UTD would get 85-90 points, RentBoyz second with 80-85 points; then TheArse and LiverPoo. The surprise – so far – has been ManShitty’s form – right now, they would be tied with UTD if they win their two games in hand – so let’s all cheer for Wigan tomorrow.
I don’t want to write about today’s match, except to say that it was fun, it was nerve-wracking, and in the end who’s #1 ?
oh this video made my day
man utd win…chelshit and looserfool lost..and this

To me, la liga has always been a over-hyped league. The only decent teams in that league are obviously real/barcelona, and them beating the lower teams is sometimes a piece of cake. It’s just too predictable. The spanish league is tactical and they play technically, whereas our league is openly physical and fast allowing counter attacks and more chances to be created. Also it seems like the big four no longer exists, the lower teams we’re playing play the game of their life against us and are more challenging than before. The premier league deserves it’s best in the world claim.
Regarding your ‘champion swap’ note, I have no doubt that all utds season ticket holders will not mind in having to travel to spain week in week out to watch the games. And, it would be a chance to see how the big stars from spain adapt to the premier league or basically flop.
Must say and agree with others, a win is a win. Brucey doing outstanding at Sunderland, great attacking United style of play. Bent hammered them the entire game.
@ denton davey
great point, mate
Arsenal play good football, put enormous amount of goals into the opposition’s net and still lose 2 games. Still too lightweight but i will be honest they worry me. Shity ? Not a chance. Forget it. Scousers ? I hope we beat the shit out of them and make sure of their 50% record. Chelsea without transfers and African Nations Cup coming.
We lost to Burnley and lost ponts against Sunderland and what we see as the end product ? As you said Nr.1 and a good prospect.
Get Hargo fit and Brown in the team!
Drew I have to agree with Corea about the points total come May. We have only dropped 5 so far and have considerably more than this stage last season. Lets all not forget we are now unbeaten in 10 or 11 games.
Anyway it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have a rant but its that fucking Stan Collybore cunt again. First off he has been baiting Steve Bruce saying he has bottled it about talking to Stan face to face. What a twat. But check this out. He said “Man Utd fans are gloating at Liverpool but if I was them I wouldn’t be just yet”. Fair enough you may think. Well he goes on to say that Berba is a “lame duck just like N’Gog and Kuyt”. Is he taking the piss? Comparing Berbs to fucking N’gog. Then he said that Valencia is never a replacement for Ronaldo . He is “just a big lump with no technical ability”. How bitter is this cunt? He has just had a cracking game and scored. What does he want. Lets not forget we had no Wazza, Fletch or Vida. Hargreaves will be back soon, then there is Orbertan and Ljijac to look forward to. Still says that the Rentboys will piss the league. How does he work that out? 2 defeats in 3 and January ANC to come. Ancelotti looked fucking clueless today. All that remains is who will go first FSW or Ancelotti? Really do hope we win 19 as this to me will be the sweetest of the lot. Him and others just cannot accept that they thought United would struggle. Well how fucking wrong they were. Top of league and unbeaten in 10 or 11 games. Bring the dippers on.
Best comment on the phone in was “Tony” the dipper. He says that Citeh will win the league by some distance!!
Also Stan said that if the dippers got Mourinho “they would win the league within 2 seasons fact”.
Cristiano Who ?
Also, Valencia NEVER uses his left foot – it amazes me that defenders haven’t sussed this out yet.
A while back, I was down on Nani for being one-footed but he seems to have evolved. His goal for Portugal was a brilliant left-footed volley.
On this same theme, it’s amazing that Giggs can also get by being so one-sided.
A good day today; now for dinner.
