Andy Murray won his first Grand Slam last night after beating Novak Djokovic over five sets in New York. After winning the first two sets, he was pegged back to 2-2, only to go on to win the fifth and beat the defending champions.
Sir Alex Ferguson was in the crowd and said he found the match more nerve racking than watching United because he had no control over what happened.
“That was far more nerve racking than a Premier League match,” said Ferguson. “I am usually in control of things but I wasn’t tonight! I am very proud for the boy because he puts in a lot of hard work and showed what a top player he is against Djokovic. When he really needed to produce the goods he did and that is the real test of a champion. It was an absolute privilege to be at the final and see Andy win the title and I love tennis. It was a really special moment.”
Man Utd News 24/7
Nice to see Sir Alex enjoying a vacation
I was there
@Vidic
Ya lucky bastard!
That’s how we’ve always felt, boss! Luckily it is you who’s in charge though.
Sign Him Up Fergie! lol…
SAF……… MAN OF THE STEEL NERVE
……. Brought to his knees by Murray!
The reason Fergie was in NYC revealed ?
Glad to see i have a mutual love for tennis with Sir Alex
According to reports, Sir Alex did confirm meeting Pep Guardiola in NY, maybe there is some truth in reports linking Pep with United, who knows!
I dont think Sir Alex only went on vacation in New York, probably met the Glazers to discuss Pep and CR7, who know really ! !
Seriously… WHO CARES!! i luv fergie as much as anyone but why is this non-united garbage appearing on this wonderful site??? pointless.. please stick to United news! Anuone have an exact update on Smalling?
@Ronsligo
1. To answer your first question, apparently everyone who posted before you. Putting you in a minority of 8:1
2. What makes you think Scott will stop posting ‘non-United stuff’ (I’m pretty sure it was the manager of United who’s made this comment, which includes implicit reference to United’s games, but do correct my if I’m wrong) just because you don’t like it?
3. ‘Pointless’ … again, I refer you to the 8:1 minority in which you find yoursef
4. Just United news? So no View from the enemy? No Giles Oakley pieces? No RoM reactions? No instantly uploaded goal videos? No RoM reads? What the fuck do you want this blog to look like? If you want just United news, twat off and use NewsNow. It’s not difficult.
Ronsligo
clearly Scott does. his blog, his rules, he knows best. don’t like it? find yourself another United loving blog
simple, really.
ontopic: thought Murray was gonna choke, watching him at the gym today.. congrats champ!
SAF has an aprt in NY and a son and grand, kids has gone there for 7 years on vacation. He just happened to talk to Pep and many others. Always multitasking his business is Man Utd. He is a workaholic.
haha Ronsl haha
Yeah right.
So touchie about, what, how to post here.
We all love Man Utd, on a break we bullshit a bit.
Love Wazza saying sorry the right way.
Love Angelo and that Man Utd, Real and more wanted him, he wanted Man Utd.
Kagawa drama on break.
Evans ankle.
Nani talk.
Anderson talk.
Mike back in CMF
Clevs getting love from Roy, Steve Me, Lamps
Rafa looking strong.
Pick any of the above.
9-11 this day has forever been changed. A moment for reflection. As GOAT said, for all who were left behind.
Bless those.
Kebab With all the $ not spent in the last 3 summers that was meant for big targets and near misses. Makes me think the rare winter signing is a done deal for one and maybe another as well. With SAF leaving a big statement on young talent before he rides into the sunset.
With RVP and Kagawa and Clevs. If enough in the tank for Rio and Vida for a CL run.
I was up for Djokovic
Looking for Serbia and Croatia to both draw their matches tonight and Scotland to jump to the top of the group by hammering Macedonia.Get intae thum Scotland.
sorry sir alex…was rooting against your boy probably the 1st time in my life
I hate these international breaks.
QHH AHH Cantona.
Well we all know Murray didn’t win.it was Djokovic that lost it Ha
@Zibbie
We’ll see. I think a departure might be first on the cards though. If Anderson doesn’t turn things around, he might not see much of Manchester in 2013. If that happens, then we might look for a recruit. I wouldn’t mind if we bought a defender too. We didn’t do too badly in that area in January of 2006.
Kebab a reshuffle and SAF went for Varne last tear. He is looking for more. As SAF has said he wants a player to make his squad better. The Mexican MF lad I think will come?? 25%-50% chance.
who gives a flying fuck about Andy fucking Murray…the cunt has come out many times and said he is Scottish not British ….so fuck the prick…. bollocks to him….
It is an absolute privilege to be of Scottish heritage.
Well done Andy Murray, conquer the world!
Thank you Sir Alex, for your tangible support.
@TonyBee
By that logic, fuck Fergie too! Fucking Scottish cunt.
kanchelskis…. who appointed you blog police….
Ronsligo has a VALID point ..
as I posted before who gives a flying fuck about Murray…. I certainly don’t…
Please keep your bollocks in your pants TonyBee!
I give a flying fuck about Andy Murray, as does SAF.
One day The balance of ‘Britain’ will produce a Major champion of their own, but for the meantime Andy fucking Murray is will have to be the only islander at the top of tennis. It’s a racquet.
colbert ….are you that dense……
fair enough Dreaded …but i reserve the right to support all of Murray’s opponents… and hope that they all beat the cunt….
just because SAF went to that game does it mean that all UTD fans have to support him too …fuck that for a lark
i’d rather support Shitty….
TonyBee – fair enough mate! I support Murray against all-comers, although I hardly watch tennis. The majors are about enough for me. I will shout a little louder now that you will be in the opposing corner.
Colbert – I think TonyBee clearly referenced Murray’s oft-stated political stance.
Sir Alex is very involved in British politics, so I doubt he has a similar persuasion.
Your “By that logic, fuck Fergie too! Fucking Scottish cunt.” is foolish.
TonyBee.
Think you may have to get used to it,having watched it I recognise a quality player and am pretty sure it’s the first of many.
parryheid…i fucking hope not….that new coach has certainly perked up his game….damn him….
parryheid – I was thinking the same thing, Andy will be making it to the finals of a lot of tournaments, so so TonyBee will be learning the names and styles of plenty of tennis players soon.
Come on Andy!
Ivan Lendl – he was a tough customer in his day.

…..as i said…. is he fucking dense,….. obviously cant read …… opening mouth before engaging brain
TonyBee will be learning the names and styles of plenty of tennis players ….
will ah fuck …. :puke:
want to know why tennis is called Tennis….. cos when they came to name it the word ‘SHITE’ was already used in the dictionary….
OK religion is next.
TonyBee Mad, TonyBee Bad, TonyBee Good, Tonny NeverBee misunderstood!!! What a man.
Me Scottish African Mate!! Congrats. Dr Dread.
Willie a Norther Irish man has Rory in the world of GOLF!
Watson have you talked to Holmes as of late?
All-England Lawn-Shite Champion Federer is hoping to do a dump in Paris.
TonyBee,
See your picking up the Scottish vernacular already with your
will ah fuck.Lol
Cheers Zibbie! Yeah, I also thought of Willie a couple of times recently, as Rory has won.
Willie King of the one liners.
havent heard from Holmes in AGES…..
Thanks TBee
I was lucky enough to be there . My mate had tickets so we travvelled all the way to NY for the match , and AND BOYY IT WAS WORTH THE TRIP.
Also I wasn’t sitting too far behind the boss.
Fergie sign him up
@kanchelskis
wow! calling me a twat for saying that i dont want to read about TENNIS on a man utd forum!! hahaahah that is just a tad bit harsh. is your life really that sad that you have nothin better to do but try and start an online arguement!! really?? hmmm, i am not gonna go down that road as ive better things to be doing with my time..
All i am saying is that i would preffere if scot kept this for just united related football news.. say what you want but fergie talking about andy murray is NOT related!! personally i would prefere to read what bebe has for breakfast but hey, thats just me.. everyone has an opinion!
anyway, his website, his rules!
Sir Alex was seated with Team Murray on Monday, signalling to his fellow Scot to keep calm.
Murray said: “I was looking at the guys in the box because I needed to get myself pumped up in the fifth set and that helped me. It was great to have someone like Sir Alex around and get to chat to him. It was pretty cool. That is always going to inspire you. All of the other guys spoke to him and said he was really good fun and was very happy for me.”

Instead of discussing your personal preferences, you might add to the blog by commenting on the “united related football news” that you desire. Seeing as you don’t add to the blog, it’s a bloody cheek to moan about the blog content.
Especially when your complaint is that news about Sir Alex is off-topic, and that you prefer to know what Bebe had for breakfast. The Man Utd website still has the US Open article on their front page two days after the event, so StR’s timely news was NOT “non-united garbage”
You claim that kanchelskis’ life is “really that sad that you have nothin better to do but try and start an online arguement!” and that you are “not gonna go down that road as ive better things to be doing with my time.” Yet it was you that started the argument, and the ONLY time you have invested into RoM is the very argument you scorn kanchelskis for. He contributes on a wide range of issues. You just complain about your own personal preferences.
“Everyone has an opinion” you declare, while instructing StR and kanchelskis to refrain from airing theirs. It’s a bloody cheek.
Ronsligo. … You come on here as often as you like … Nice for those that don’t run with the ‘herd’ to hear others disagreeing with the new clique
A case of out with the old and in with the new. A sort of coup….
Coup de grâce? The death blow intended to end the suffering of a wounded creature.
ronsligo – no death blow intended from me. As I said, add to the blog!
What did Bebe have for breakfast this morning?
hahah – oh i better leave now guys as clearly the mafia have spoken!!
@ TonyBee – appreciate the support guys
@ DreadedRed – Yes you are correct – i am new to leaving comments but i am certainly not new to the site as ive been following it daily for years. I love this site but just never feel the need to leave my thoughts to people i dont know. Thats my fault and if i was to post regularly then i can assure you that it would all be very positive – i just hate fuckn andy murray!! lol – Words can get taken out of context when typing and i was hoping that we could use this site for only football related stuff but clearly others disagree.. what bebe had for breakfast was clearly a joke but i have asked around and apparently its scrambled egg!! – clearly kanchelskis is one of the BIG boys on here but i still dont think there was need to single me out and call me a twat.. that is what angered me! i dont know why people are in sucha rush to abuse eachother.. anyways lets just focus on wigan on saturday
