Gabriel Heinze, who spent three years at Manchester United before two seasons at Real Madrid, winning the league at both, has claimed that United is the most special club in the world.
“I cannot wait for the chance to go back onto the pitch at Old Trafford because this is the most special club of all, and I include Real Madrid in this list,” said Heinze. “United is a club built on success. It has heritage, legends and trophies, but for me Old Trafford is also a very human and warm place.”

booo him
bitch please
why would anyone care about what he thinks?
Boo Him? I’d rather The Fans Chant ‘United United’ And Give Our Team A Voiceferous Support Throughout. The Good Thing Is That He Has Realized That You sometimes Dont Value What You Have Until You Lose It. THANK GOD WE ARE NOT IN HIS SHOES!
fuck me doing some serious ass kissing all of a sudden
Because he knows whats waiting for him on the return to OT, he tried going to liverpool when he knew how much we hate the cunts. Unforgivable. Worse than tevez.
He could of said this shit in the years gone by instead…. shithouse.
another Looser.
you’ll get what you deserve ,that’s for sure.Can’t wait to see on the field too ..you bloody bastard.
Once an idiot, always an idiot, right!? … Did he think that United would miss a beat without him? Come on be serious, guy!!!
PREVIEW | Marseille Preview: Get On Your Bike At The Vélodrome
http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2011/02/marseille-preview-get-on-your-bike-at.html
Yet he only went into Manchester city centre twice while he was here and hated the area and place. It was just his wages keeping him happy. The guy is a selfish cunt who gave us one good year of football and thats it. From fucking of to the Olympics amidst our injury crisis forcing the manager to do his rehab in Spain and then coming back from injury and whining not being able to play centre back. Despicable horrible human being.
YOU FUCKING SCOUSE BASTARD! WE’LL BE BOOING YOU TAE FUCK.
TWAT.
Do one!
lol this should have been one thread not 3,fuck you heinze judas bastard
Is he winding us up or what ? Didn’t he wanted to go to play for those idiots when he was with us ??
BUM LICKER, that’s what he is …………
veron = shite
tevez = self serving wanker
heinze = self serving wanker
we’ve not had a good experience with argies playing for us.
I agree he should be booed but I wont be wasting my breath, the truth as I see it was he lost a bit of pace after his injury and got roasted in 2nd semi in Milan, (KAKA fucked him up) and so SAF as ever decided he had to be replaced and the stupid sod had his head turned by Liverpool, how much does he regret that now, well by all the statments we hearing, quite a bit.
You could have gone gracefully but you chose to be a bit of a prick.
@ Gerkeo – Veron was far from shite. Didnt perform the way we expected him to coz he couldnt adapt to our league but to call him shite is WAY over the top. Still had plenty of brilliant moments for us.
@keano16: considering he cost £28mil, he was at best very dissappointing. We were lucky to get half our cash back from the rentboys
I touched upon this lovely fellow in my Manchester United vs Marseille Preview…
http://www.fivecantonas.com/manchester-united-vs-marseille-away-champions-league-wednesday-23rd-february/
They come crawling back, one by one, after they leave. However, not all of them slag off the club and demand to join Liverpool before they go. Gabby will deserve everything he gets at Old Trafford.
Matt – Not only that, but if we weren’t playing Marseille, would he be saying these things? I hope fans can see this, for what It Is, bollox!
everyone who has left united will tell the same old story….
because after they have left us they had a very bad time ……(except-ronaldo)
so everyone feels sorry for what they have lost…….
i wonder what christiano ronaldo will say abouut that??
My most despised footballer ever!! Doesnt even come close the the Money whore at the council house, I actually lost sleep when this cunt tried making a move to the dippers. To think we once lived him, i wouldnt piss on his kids if they were on fire – harsh but how i felt at the time and now. Only a game etc but still hate him.
Agree Veron wasn’t a bad played. Carried himself with dignity then and since.
thought veron came out last year and said worst time of his career was at utd
At least, he’s unlike Tevez, who’s a total wanker, and has a nice opinion about United. I liked him when he was here. He gave his best, and if i remember correctly, he even got chosen player of the season by the fans.
i didnt like veron….
for me he was mediocre….
he looked like a pornstar to me…………
Ballbag!
after united let tevez go he said that he did the things he had to do….now its in my managers hand whether to keep me or not…so atleast he was not rude after he joined city….
so i think that makes him better as a person than veron….
He can go fuck himself.. Argie cunt…
Veron wasn’t mediocre. He just struggled with the pace of English football. He preferred the pace of champions league.
@willi
i thought only nistelrooy was crazy about spanish or cl football…
He is just trying to make himself look better compared to Tevez, manipulative as he was then !!
Sing to Tom Jones Delilah
Gen-e-rallll Belgrano

The Argie cunts, couldn’t handle us anymore
Now 300 men are lying on the Atlantic flooo- oooooorr
Thats for you Heinze you cunt and Tevez ketlle necked snapping turtle ugly bin bagged and chucked in the ………ee eeeee you make my fucking skin crawl.
Veron did well with us in Europe and where he found more space and time on the ball.
Argie cunt finally talks sense. Too little, too late!!!!
Sorry, i know this is completely unrelated, but i couldn’t resist..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4cpOpvoWgM&feature=related
I bet if Sir Alex had a cardiac there and then Phelan would have run for the fekking hills. lol
Veron didn’t make the impact he could have made at United, but he was still a classy guy. Not you typical Argie twat like someone else I know. ^^^
gigs didnt go to marseille …..now we lack of a couple of experienced players
Good to have Heinze talking sense. Talk from Veron has never been like either Tevez or Heinze. Seemed to talk with humility and sense whenever I have heard him.
Heinze and Tevez needed better management (they were really clueless of the inner workings of this club).
Veron probably didn’t get used right and missed his chances.
So far, it is fair enough to say we havn’t done well with Argentinians. That is not bias, that just appears to be a statement of the facts on the ground. Argentinians who are destined for export are cultivated as Gods in the Greek/Roman sense. Fact is, United don’t really do Gods. We allow players to become gods, like georgie, eric and ronaldo, but eventually things break down.
Don’t think we shouldn’t look to the future for improvements on both sides. By which I mean Uniteds man management as well.
Jessus Goat, that was pretty tasteless.
Argentina was in a depression, really a financial implosion and the Generalisimos in charge made up a war that they convinced the Argenitinians they could win. The entirety of the exercise was to shelter the Junta from public spite and sure civil war due to the horrible economy. So the Government created a nationalitic furor out of almost nothing and sent some untrained lads off to be butchered. Sent them off with 1950-60 era weponry (the subs for instance). Think the Brit Aircore sunk their entire navy and downed every plane in the first 3 days.
If you remember galipoli with any sense of shame, then you should spare a thought for some poor young argie boys who never got a chance to grow up. Shame on the Generalisimos, but have a thought for the lads who died in a hopeless enterprise. Loads of young brits put in harms way those worthless idiots as well.
Let’s keep this on players personal attributes and try to spare making classless statements about other folks honored dead.
Potty Paddy Evra > Heinze
by a million times.
Well said FletchTHEMAN, on both counts.
Score predictions anyone?
FletchTHEMAN
Great post mate at 17:00
heinze says “but for me Old Trafford is also a very human and warm place”
Famous last words, anyone?
Gerkeo.
Veron was class, we just didnt know where to play him, and he cared, i
remember Keano saying after we lost in Leverkusen, that while some
of the younger players didnt seem too upset, he was ‘gutted’
FletchTHEMAN
Thanks for my smack on the bum. I realise the post was tasteless but felt compelled non the less to post it. I’m not one of the namby pamby who care for others feelings to the point I cant resist making a jibe or tasteless remark every once and a while. As for the poor INDIVIDUALS that went down, of course I feel sorry for their families as they dont have sons and sons dont have fathers BUT they are the creators of their own reality. Passivism, religion and cowardlyness had put them in the situation they found themselves in (and they still find themselves in) and for that I have no pity. The individual caught up in the fight I have pity for but not the pride of the nation that fought. My attack wasnt aimed at the victims of an incident rather a dig at the shitehole Argentina so obviously is, and its people as a whole. Of course the comments could hurt the victims (those left behind) but if we dont joke about bad things, such as rape, paedophilia, disabilities then Im affraid we are left with knock knock jokes and no one wants that. So that being that fuck it.
‘Human and warm’ ?? Sounds like a Turkish bath to me!
Goat
We will always have City to joke about……. Worry not about shortages in that dept
Some news from the press conference posted by Ben HIbbs:
To recap from SAF: Ando knee injury, out for 2/3 weeks. Giggs fit for Wigan. Rio/Evans fit for Chelsea. Valencia back for FA Cup QF
Got to say, it’s better news than I expected. Hopefully Ando will be back for Analfield.
Gabriel Heinze is beginning to know fear.
Like the moment when the brakes lock
And you slide towards the big truck
“Oh no! [scream] Daddy, Daddy!”
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear.
And you’ll never hear our voices
And you’ll never see our faces
You have no recourse to the law anymore.
2/3 weeks for Ando? Does that mean, 2/3 months?
Costas
Thought those team news updates were exclusive from you… Please do not tell me you have been quoting people all these months! I feel sort of betrayed!
(big LOL)
@CedarsDevil
Ha ha ha ha oooooo la. Oh my.
Thanks for breaking the ice mate. Too right you are.
Damn well knew City was put on this earth for a purpose.
@Goat, The Govt of Argentina has a tradition of letting it’s people down. Comes from a culture where the expat Brit, Italian and German monarchy and oligarchs have well carved up a country and fed it to the dogs. But those people do love their footie. Some are pretty good at it as well. Don’t expect them to come over and just “get” the sporting culture in england.
Wake up boys, there’s a light at the window
@willie
That’s what I saw on twitter. That Ando saw a 2nd specialist and could be out for 2-3 weeks. Who was the genius that said he would be out for months?
@Cedars
Sorry mate. It’s true. I’ve been copying news upodates from Ben Hibbs who copies them from mad max.
He just spoke about regret at the way he left United, maybe time to forgive?
That medical round up is an improvement from what we expected. All teams have injuries, they play a big part, so having the ability to keep momentum, even up the pace, despite the loss of key personnel, is tantamount to success. Sir Alex and his juggernaut will drive us to the 19th.
Goat – Some on here take things literally, you should know that by now. Some of us, know your manner and get the joke.
FletchTHEMAN
Cheers buddy, not to mention great looking women and tango of course! Great country and fantastic people…. Been lucky to have visited Argentina, if any of can one day I suggest you do the same..
Costas
I should have known that Maxine was the origin of all that is breaking news, never took you for a copy cat though……. Given that its Maxine I should forgive you I suppose
GoatinaUnitedShirt
You sound like a drugged horse, seriously, I haven’t read such ridiculous twaddle for ages. You’re not related to Mike Summerbee are you by any chance, you share a certain knack for the ludicrous.
I take it you’ve never been to Buenos Aires? It’s a pretty fucking cool place and Argentina has changed a lot for the better since the 80s.
Heinze is just going to have to live with his poor judgement, I can’t see him getting an especially warm reception, so bollocks to him. Veron on the other hand has said many decent things about United since leaving, shame things didn’t work out whilst he was playing for us, except in certain European games, but I have respect for the man.
Off topic, But where the heck is the Guardian going with this.

Leave my Maxine alone.
Willie
Where is my cheque?
@FletchTHEMAN
I get where your coming from mate but there is a little thing that everyone forgets. The government is based of individuals all of which are civillians – normal people. The soldiers are all normal people with mothers and fathers. The police are all individuals plucked from the general populus. We often think of as “those in charge” as special individuals chosen by a higher force, but this is for the most part never the case and completely unachievable.
The gasing of the jews was caused by the general populus of Germany for they made up the SS, the german soldiers, the politicians etc etc. It was the failing of the German parents to teach thir children what is right and what is wrong and that these decisions are down to the INDIVIDUAL not as a collective.
The invasion of Falklands was down to INDIVIDUALS who made up the guard to the dictator, the army generals, the soldiers and the police and “party” workers.
The massacre of the Bosniens was down to the INDIVIDUALS that were the Serbien community, ordinary men from the street became draftees and did the dirty on their neighbours.
The INDIVIDUALS in Stalins Russia…………………………………..
Its the people to blame for all that goes on, not the ones at the top, for without the individual the leader is powerless. The leader may try his shit but its the people who turn a blind eye to their sons crimes.
I sent It mate. Fedex that sucker.
You got me runnin’ goin’ out of my mind,
You got me thinkin’ that I’m wastin’ my time.
Don’t bring me down,no no no no no,
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down.
Quoting ELO, but thinking its on Obertan’s mind after every game he plays!! lol
Anyone think the rent boys could go out of the champions league? They’re not playing well atm and Copenhagen aren’t push overs.
Fedex? Them buggers keep crashing in the Pacific, thats me waiting a few years then!
@thesavage
“Am I related to Mike Summerbee”, no mate are you related to Lilly.

“Goat – Some on here take things literally, you should know that by now. Some of us, know your manner and get the joke.
I know mate I just love to wind up the locals a bit, you know, if you dont feel your heart pound in your chest and the adrenalin running through your veins then how do you know your alive.
I like a good discussion and I dont mind flinging the shit.
@willie and goat. I see the attempt at humor and banter. Been going to pubs and games for years so know where it is coming from. But this is the 21st century and hopeless threads get exposed really quickly in open multinational forums where we really are exposed to brothers of shapes, sizes and persuasions. Take the Crawley lad, 18 year old, who thought he would have a laugh making fun of Munich and is now banned for life. Clueless f*ck, now he knows.
You like a laugh, but I think we have pretty much agreed that the line between banter and perversion is drawn at funning the dead.
At least the bitters never killed anyone, so we are free to rip them a new one at our leisure.
goat – no difference betweenyou and Munich or “hillsborough”chanters. hang your head.
veron was nowhere near as awful as people try to make out. take it we won nothing with him…..?
exactly.
Willie
Was thinking the same thing re the rent boys… Friend of mine (Chelsea fan, poor soul!) has flown over to Denmark for the game…. Cannot wait to text him after the match, which they will lose I hope
@keano86
Theres a huge difference mate and its you that should hang your head in shame. The players who perished in Munich (god rest their soles) didnt declare war on anybody. People who chant Hillsbrough are also sick because they were a victim of a terrible set of circumstances and they never declared war.
Dont use our fallen as a lilly livered fight back that is sick and out of order pal.
Taking the piss out of the enemy is normal and healthy, what no German banter. Liven up you bean flicking retard.
FletchTHEMAN – Whats ever done about the Munich chants? Not much mate. There is a line, totally right, but we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously on here. I would never respond to rival fans chants about Munich. Friendly banter should be the norm, but every club(including our own) have dickheads that think It’s ok to sing about these disasters.
Georgie Bingham has cleavage but Alan Curbishley is an idiot
Forget the politics lads, lets all laugh at tiny tears talking up ‘his’ team and how we will love going to Wembley to lift the trophy
dead is dead. simple. show some respect.
DISGUSTING.
Wenger ‘ Wilshere has an English heart and French technique’
Fabregas ‘ Wilshere has an English heart and Spanish skills’
What the fuck? Have they cloned the bugger?
Agree enough about the politics, it does get boring after a bit.
Did you know that if you stand a dog on its hind legs and kick it hard in the stomach it cameleons its arse out and can suck up a bit of paper from the floor.
Gabby I used to like you alot. A bit like I used to like Tevez alot.
Personally don’t care whether you’re an Argie. It was great singing “ARGENTINA” home and away when you and Tevez were around. Especially since is used to piss the “Little Englanders” off no end.
But you I’m afraid will have to join the list of players who have left United for pastures a new believing the grass is greener on the other side. My Cow Your Cow Business. In whatever order you wanna put it.
Van Nistelroy, Beckham, Tevez, and now you Gabby Heinze. You can join the scrap heap.
Foster and Ronaldo will soon join you and he will be saying the same thing in ten years time.
Should have never fell out with SAF. Blah. Blah. Blah….
It would have been easier to justify you leaving had United not continued to win trophies as United ALWAYS do. You could have convinced yourself you made the right decision. But as our great chant from the terraces at Old Trafford says. WE’LL NEVER DIE.
A Cech has just bounced onto my island. I chuck no land away, cast your spell.
smartalex
I knew it would ‘land’ in your lap somehow!
Lapland, is that where I am? Might as well get a dance while I’m here.
dunno if anyone mentioned it before, but pogba, king, norwood and tunnicliffe got their numbers for the first team.
Remember the days where breast implants were removed every 2 or 3 minutes, so you could draw breath.
Onto other matters, have you read Tiny Tears comments about Chelsea needing to man up?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/9404091.stm
This tiresome tit never fails to entertain me.
smartalex
Seems you are talking about male ones?
If Alan Curbishley had cleavage it would be even worse. Thank heavens for small mercies.
CedarsDevil, I am talking about the shortness of breath that strikes me when having a dance in Lapland. Every 2 or 3 minutes I remove my implanted nose to draw breath.
Arsenal have 5 games in 14 days oh dear……. How will they manage? I hope they can keep playing the beautiful game we expect from these Brazilians of English football.
smartalex, I would never imagine Curbishley with cleavage, the mere thought has thrown me totally off the idea of sexy boobs!! hahahaha
OK let’s move on. I love you lot to much to ever get to worked up about banter that
is meant as banter. Fair points.
Just like to keep the level of our debate healthy and widely appealing. Cheers
Implanted nose? hahahahaha
Fucking brilliant
FletchTHEMAN
We love you too!
The only closest to a brazilian the arsesloods are getting, is a castration at Old Trafford if they ever they arrive.
Everyone that’s left realises that after… Oh well, tough shit mate
veron was a class act, he was just never played in his best position. It is a shame veron scholes and butt was never all built together, because all 3 would have been awesome in a 3 or a 2. With so many combinations etc
Does anyone know what the criteria is to select an ex footballer to become a pundit? I mean how the fuck do ex players like Townsend, Southgate, Scales for example get to bore the shit out of us on TV…
I am starting to believe that the worse you are as a player the better chance you will have at making a career on tele…. Can anyone remind me of the last ex United star to make a career as a pundit?
CedarsDevil – ex united players do not need TV, they are to busy managing football teams to be doing punditry
Goat you do know that the majority of Argie land forces where conscripts, ie not profressional soldiers who had volunteered to serve queen and country more like boys against men, the exact description would be cannon fodder. The reason they had thier arses kicked was purely down to the fact they didnt think a relatively broke britain would send troops 4000 miles to protect a pimple on the arse of the world but we did, not to protect the Falklands per se but to demonstrate that we would protect our interests with force when needed.
The fact that corrupt army generals sought only to find refuge by starting a war with a bunch of boys ill equipped and relativley little training is one of the reasons we shouldn’t denigrate those that died, I’m all for humour and that includes when it deals with difficult issues but mocking the dead in the way you did is rather sad, but you can comment again as to why you feel justified in posting your little ditty but you know it was crass!
FITB
Nicely spotted mate…….. Enough said
Just read the full text of the Heinze interview.
Lad has some stories worth telling. Loved the one about Sir Bobby sitting next to him
on the plane when he had trouble flying. Ha, sir bobby teaching others how to feel comfortable on a plane!
I dont’ have many fond memories of Heinze because his time with us with short and he seemed not to take the pressure of a big club well. But I do believe SAF catapulted and even saved his career, first by bringing him to United, and then by sending him to the Virus.
In the end, Heinze will look back on a history of going to a club and helping them with the league.
He won the prem with us in 2006-7 (first for the club in since 03)
He won la liga with the virus and Beckham in 2007-8 (first for the club in several years)
Now he has won Ligue 1 with Marseille 2009-2010 (first for the club in several years)
If he had gone to Looserpool with Rafa, he might never have recovered.
Never really hated the guy to be honest!
mattbw7 – seconded. class post.
Think we have done alright without the judas slag….Evra>.Henize…Y.S.B.!
evening gents
hope every1 is well
How can Torres play tonight in Champs league if he has represented Liverpool this season in europa League???
@mattbw7
I know it was crass as you put it, its a jibe, a tasteless joke BUT a joke it was. We can have a go all day without agreeing what is or isnt humour but it is up to the individual. Of course you can take offense and as Ive written before that is not the meaning but if you insist on being upset over it I would recommend you for councelling. Humour or poking fun has many guises and very few subjects are taboo.
My comments have been likened to Munich chants, I explained this could never be the case because the boys who perished at Munich never declared war on anybody.
Jokes about sexual taboos excist, jokes about accidents persist like “What was the last thing to go through James Deans mind before he died, his arse”, These are just that jokes. If at the Apollo a comedian would have to search out things that could offend he wouldnt have much of a sketch. In a typical crowd at a gig, a third may have been molested in some way or another, allmost all have a loved one that has died, many had loved ones killed or know someone during terrorist activity home or abroad …… blah blah blah the list goes on. The person with the grievance has to move on, get councelling or otherwise they will be reminded of it and hurt every minute of every day for the rest of their lives.
People should take note of my posts and that I write some things that are a little taboo. For new comers they may be shocked but for those who should know by now shouldnt read if they have the disposition of a poof.
As for the defence of the Argies, love them or hate them I dont really care. I wont defend them they can do that themselves. All I know if I saw one on fire I wouldnt surreder the steam from my piss to help put them out, unless they were standing for whatever reason on my carpet.
Look if your Argentinian and you have a beef with my comment fine, your justified if your not, mind your own busness and fight your own wars.
Oh dear again with politics……… Fair enough…
If you live in a very peaceful community say like Scandinavia or anywhere in Northern Europe where your only access to world politics is an internet access or a local TV station then I do understand your slightly immature posts when it comes to politics. I have had a couple of political debates here with some less informed users and it always comes to nothing…….
Keep it on United and on football, this is not the place to discuss politics and sorry to say but most here have no clue about world events, no criticism here but a mere fact…… I have read opinions about the Gulf from people who do not even know where the place is, same goes for every other place in the world
max – thats a good question
@Costas
Has the FOMO caught up with u yet??…You havnt commented since 17 : 34. That surely has to be a record!!! Lol whats going on..something aint right? You sick and been in bed with the flu?
Goat
Keep it to footy mate
@max. As I understand it, the rules separate all competitions.
Europa League is a different competition than Champions League
I believe the same is true of cup competitions in England.
If Liverpool never used Torres in a Carling Cup match but had used him in the FA CUP , then Chelsie could use him in the Carling Cup but not the FA CUP. ROMsters please correct me if I am wrong.
Uefa changed the rules, I think. Chelsea had a choice of picking Torres, or Luiz for champions league. They opted for the bitch. On politics, I come from Nothern Irelamd
Scratch my last post. Gremlins at work.
@Willierednut, But I think you are correct that Torres would have to have been added to CSKA landans 24 man Champions league roster as well. But I think the question max was raising relates to how he could appear in a competion that he had already been in. My response was that the Europa is not the same competion as CL. Don’t really know if I am correct, but feel that must be right as they have distinct winners etc. Cheers
Willie
No offense intended, I hope you know that
feed the goat and out comes bullshit
Cedars – I was gonna say, coming from Northern Ireland, I’ve had my fill of politics. That’s not to say, I’m not interested, but It shouldn’t be brought on here. As a previous poster, who rarely comes on here now, keep it red, or you’re dead.
Why maxine, did you miss me?
Where’s Pat Rice today by the way? Put him to be alrwady max?
*bed already*
Le sulk puts the renties 1 up.
Goat you have some twisted logic there, you say the argies got what they deserved, tell me how do conscripts who are forced to join up deserve to die, its not about whether I have a sense of humour or not, its does this subject deserve to be ridiculed in the way you did. you can blather on about james dean all you want, I would agree its nothing more than a tastless joke, however I do believe james dean chose to be where he was on that night. I can laugh at the blackness that is peadophilia ( a paedo is walking in the dark woods with a six year old boy, the boy tells the paedo he’s scared and he replies “its ok for you I have to walk back on my own”) The thing is here the joke sees the funny side of the situation but doesnt relate it to an actual person.
Far from being upset about it, I’m just amazed at exaclty how crass you where and your pathetic attempts to justify it since, you even said in your last post that it wasnt the same as Munich cos those boys hadn’t delared war on anyone what an absolute load of tripe, since when do conscripts declare war on anyone!
the 2nd part isnt directed at goat. There is no defence for those that do chant about Munich but they would argue we dont do it to mockl the dead we do it to wind up the rags (thats from city fans) Oh well I guess thats ok then, and while im my soap box, it really pisses me off when I hear the “96 was not enough” chants at our ground wtf how the hell can we hold the moral high ground when thats coming out of the stretford end.
Cheers Willie, that would not be RedScot would it………?
Admire your maturity mate
CSKA Landan is 1 up after 17 minutes.
Tell me they haven’t payed an extra installment to their former player Godd::: ? can’t spell the name.
That was a complete freebee
Cedars – The mad Scot lol.
Being as famous as Costas has it’s drawbacks. There is a soothing opiate made from the root of the bay leaf, served to celebrities at super-private ‘rich-and-anonymous’ resorts.
The Celeb-anon bayroot cocktail privatises your politics in a flash. See how mellow CedarsDevil has become in the political arena.
@mattbw7 and Keane86 and Cedars …
Look my joke, song, was tasteless. On a forum such as this it is very difficult to get your point across and explain what you mean due to time delays and the like (you lose your rythm).
I appologise unreservedly to any one Ive upset. It is never my intention to upset anyone and Im man enough to say I was wrong. If I want to make jokes “of that sort” again I will do them in a more appropreite forum. You have been long serving posters on here and I regard you as trusted friends (colleagues) and the last thing I want to do is upset you. We have a similar love and should be on here respecting each other and their wishes. I hope you take my appology and we can be at peace.
smartalex – No one likes a brown nose mate.
smartalex isn’t a brown nose. He is just telling the truth.

especially their tomato soup……
willierednut, I was making a joke.
The Celeb-anon bayroot cocktail privatises your politics in a flash. See how mellow CedarsDevil has become in the political arena.
The Lebanon, Beiruit cocktail privatises your politics in a flash. See how mellow CedarsDevil has become in the political arena.
Which refers to CedarDevil’s prior post where he references the difference in living in a stable political climate; to living your politics, on the street, amongst vocal and energetic political entities. A persons approach to political debate is different.
smartalex – Chill mate. I was also joking. Everyone on the funny pills today.
Lyon 0:0 Real
1 minute
2nd half, sorry.
everyone spoiling for verbal fights here today….
sing us a song Smartalex…… chill us all out a bit….!!
Thanks willierednut! Where do we apply for the funny pills?
smartalex is one hour behind schedule, since it’s really the 46th minute.
Just kidding.
Just realized that Adebayor is playing for Real. I am sure he misses the Project terribly.
And as the windshield melts
My tears evaporate
Leaving only charcoal to defend.
Finally I understand the feelings of the few.
Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end.
Chilling enough for you TonyBee?
AHHHH thats better alls well in the world….!!
songhater Tonybee doffs cap top Maestro of chill SmartAlex
smartalex – You feeling ok? Are you the real smartalex? On the pills, the Goat can get us a good price on them.
Le sulk scores again.
Evening Willie
Salute, TonyBee!
smartalex
You define intelligence mate……
Keep it red lads
TonyBee – Hello mate.
So much for Copenhagen causing an upset. Chelsea will try to have a real go at the Ch.League since Abramovich realizes they won’t get many other opportunities.
Cedars – What are you saying mate, the rest of us are thick as shit? lol.
Smartalex,
Der chill myster!
Very very deep that.
Come on United!
Did anyone read Paddy’s chat about Sir Alex after the Crawley win? Apparantly SAF is angry that players are not taking their opportunities. Fergie wanted to bring on the 3 youngsters, and feels they were let down.
With Anderson adding to a missing midfield, I hope Sir Alex will fire up Tunnicliffe.
The link…

And there you are. Fatboy scores at his old ground.
Real 1 up, Benzema.
“For me Old Trafford is a very human and warm place”
Something tells me you won’t feel the same way after your visit. Biggest fucking cunt on the planet still to this day for me.
“It has heritage, legends and trophies”
AND a passionate hatred for anything associated with Bin Dippers you sackless, lazy cunt. Tell us more about the club ffs.
“I can’t wait to go back to Old Trafford because this is the most special club of all…”
One that you quickly scurried away from when your starting was in question. The fuck you think? We’d bring in Paul Konchesky as your cover? Wait….
I hate this asshole, sorry for the expletives
Real scored immediately after Adebayor is subbed off. What a waste of money, lol.
yeah Cedars just cos sum of us fink wiv our diks dont meem we ar all fick
The oracle beats me to It.
STR,
Can we get a little help here?
These lads are seriously in need of a new thread mate!
Blackpool beating the next England manager’s team by 2-0.
@willie
What I do best.
Looks like Marseille will put 9 behind the ball. Deschamps quoted as hoping for a goalless draw.
Costas,
Cheers mate, completely forgot that Spurs had a game today. Holloway is the most pathetic entertainment in the bottom half of the table. Guess he will be pleased to beat spurs. What will they say about Harry’s wonder boys then?
Lyon, Real 1 1.
Nice to see Lyon equalize.
@FletchTHEMAN
They will probably blame it on Bale and Van Der Vaart’s absences. They have to protect Harry’s image at any cost. I admit that I got a good kick out listening to people saying he is the right guy to manage England…
As for tomorrow, it’s not a bad strategy by Marseille. If they get a 0-0 draw, that means that they can either win or draw at OT and they are trhough. If we do line up with 4-5-1, it could be a boring game..
Wasn’t trying to fall out with you Goat, peace bro.
Tony Bee, by your logic I now feel able to sing “96 where not enough” and still take the moral high ground when the bitters and dippers sing munich songs.
Some do Matt. The Goat said sorry, I think It should be left now.
Costas,
Maybe the right time for a 442 in Europe. we don’t have much of a midfield, so we might as will focus on killing them with attacking footie.
Blackpool 3 up lol.
*we might as well* sheesh
Still with 4 Engurlund first teamers, youd thing the Spurs would be walking all over the Orange men.
Must be the lousy pitch…..
@ Costas
Any early team news for tomorrows game…u seem to know whats going on..maybe u should even start your own blog..just saying
In reference to gabby heinze, did you gents read the article by andy mitten on him, he claimed that he was one of the worst players he’s had to interview, and that when he departed united there were’nt to many players in the dressing room sad to see him go.
Moral High ground Matt.????
@FletchTHEMAN
Yep, we could see a change in tactics mate. Especially if Marseille sit back. Either way, the team (other than the right back berth) really picks itself tomorrow. And with Carrick, Scholes, Fletch, Nani, Rooney and Berb occupying the front 6 positions, the system can very easily turn from 4-4-2 to 4-5-1 and vice verca.
@vinny
Nah, just what Sir Alex said today. That’s all we know about tomorrow’s game.
Is that your cousin Vinny, Costas?
vinny wants to accost us! Sounds like sour grapes.
It’s not going to be that easy smartalex. I am not going anywhere.
@wille
Haha, no. Don’t have one by that name.
Why can i not get the YOU SCOUSE BASTARD song out of my head ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Remember the salad(o) dressing. Beware the vinny garrote.
where have the match articles gone? no post match from crawley? just bitching about ex players. at least we haven’t seen a beckham article for a week…
Ha. Gotta laugh at beetroot face (kings) and spurs. Giving it large all season and after the milan win. Redknapp two month ago saying they could win the league and modric saying they are on a par with united. Silly cunts. Absolutely shocking that defoe hasn’t a single league goal. The media talk about these cunts winning the european cup. Yeah alright. And what the fuck is with assou akotta hair do? Idiot.
Anyway been hearing all day how copenhagen would be a tough test. They were the worst tyeam I have ever seen in the last sixyeen. Woeful. Pathetic. Commentators saying how the rentboys are back. Well I hope they play like that next week as they are shit. Slow. Pedestrian. Drogba not even coming out for warm up. The ladyboy better not score against us the tranny cunt. He will regret leaving the dippers. Fat frank is immobile. Tiny tears a fucking liability. Hope we smash the horrible fuckers next week. Disgusted actually. They play a day before us and we still have a weekend away game. All because those rentboy cunts bottled it and called a game off. Should have been docked points. Time to put then in their place. As I type I am listening to the chavs like fat frank and torres saying how they are gonna win it. I hate the trannys stupid fucking voice. Rant over.
Oh and good to see anderson only two weeks. Well fergies two weeks! Don’t the press talk shite.

Is that it for now?
Fletch. Hello mate. Just read that link from the guardian on wilshire and its one of the most overhyped pathetic things I have seen. Readers actually taking time to make mock ups of odd bodied willshire. Making him out to be some kind of hard case and messi a mug. My money is on messi having the last laugh in the nou camp. The igerland media are a joke. They grab hold of someone and hype them up beyond belief after thirty games or summat. They just love their english players. Till they fail and then they can’t wait to lay the boot in. Meanwhile proper players like nani and berbatov get completely over looked.
Guys where is GHTT???!! Ain’t seen his posts for a while
I know all about that shit with Heinze and the dippers … but honestly, I thought he was a pretty good player for us, mostly. Not as good as Evra has been, and not as good as Rafael/Fabio will be, but still pretty good. As for what happened with the dippers, it seems SAF is prepared to forgive and forget and blames it on the player’s agent (not sure if this was quoted in any earlier post):
Ferguson said: “There were no issues with Gaby. When he left, it wasn’t down to him, He had a bad agent in my opinion, who engineered the situation and tried to trick David Gill. We proved that and stopped the agent’s attempt to get him to Liverpool. Gaby moved on to Real Madrid, but he was a warrior and for three years, he did really well for us.” (From the Telegraph)
And since Heinze has basically apologized and expressed remorse/regret, maybe it’s time to let it go.
But for agreeing to take United to court… I’ll never forgive him. He’ll be THE most hated ex-United player I will have ever seen. I just can’t see any other player doing that. Once you take the law avenue, you’re out of the family.
Yor-Yor
The most hated Utd player in history? Where does Paul Ince rank?! People have started to forgive Ince so what’s the difference with Gabby?
Gabby was a warrior. In his last season there was only one cross that made it to the box from the left when he played. Dislike him as a person but not for his play
I feel there are very valuable lessons here for our youth system …. The grass in this mans case was not greener !! I have not forgiven him . Warrior he was for one season a delight to watch . But he was prepared to shaft us for his own ends Paddy Evra was our saving grace ..
Morning all
Costas, have you made your team selection for tonight yet?
Was there a reason why Paul Pogba was not in the squad ? injured ,sick .
as a player, left back, Heinze is batter than Pat.
King Eric – Hello mate. You well? They are a fucking joke of a football club. Talking about being our equals? Fuck off beetroot face. If that is the case, then surely they could have recovered from 2 goals down to beat them. Defoe is overrated and Freak Crouch scores the winner in Milan and all of a sudden they are contenders to win it and he’s plugging himself in as the worlds best striker – cunt. And as for the Assou Ekotto, who the fuck does he think he is, strutting around thinking he’s a world class left-back – he’s not even fit to lace Leighton Baines boots. I heard that we were supposed to be interested in Modric, and that Spurs were talking about £35m, much to the annoyance of beetroot face, who’s not happy about anyone poaching his players, because he would never entertain the idea of doing something like that! No thanks. If I was to make provisions to replace the great Scholesy, then there is only one player I would pull out all the stops to sign.
Copenhagen were absolutely dreadful. They made Chelsea look half decent, and they are shit. Shit for brains Ancelotti saying ‘United next’ like they have rediscovered their form and are ready to beat all that’s put out in front of them. Prick. Like you mate, I said that they should have been deducted points for calling off our fixture back in December, because if we did that, then the FA would have milked the opportunity to hit us with that penalty. I really hope we fucking turn those cunts over next Tuesday.
Yeah I was relieved to hear that Ando is only out for two weeks and even better news concerning the return of Tony V. A top quality player who we have missed this season. I’m looking forward to seeing him and Nani take the opposing full-backs on.
@Costas
U know more than Scott mate
Its time for u to start your own blog
So according to captain, legend, boss of Chelsea, dick head of huge proportions Terry ‘ Our season is still alive’
On what measure may I ask you JT?
morning Costas
hows it going mate?
Kings
Hi mate, to be honest I do share you obvious sentiment towards Spurs (lol) but to be honest I would rather they pip the rent boys for 4th, now THAT would be funny
Costas u legend!!!!!
Good morning..what your thoughts on tonights game?
Costas!!
he is the new king
ALL HAIL KING COSTAS
Very profound word’s Heinze.
BUT YOUR STILL A CUNT!
@Ral
Ince didn’t take club to court. It’s not about him wanting to join Liverpool, it’s the act of taking United to court. Sorry man, you can forgive him but I can’t.
I moved to luxembourg in 2004. The first United game when i was here he scored against Bolton.
If you are a football who is pissed at ESPN for choosing Cricket over EPL, sign a petition echoing your sentiments—->http://www.petitiononline.com/123footy/petition.html
Please Everyone sign this. Because in India, they are showing the Cricket World Cup on 3 Channels simultaneously. So no EPL till 2nd April
Good morning!
Hey CedarsDevil, I like the idea of loserpool and the rent boys competing for the europa cup. Something for us to laugh at on Thursdays!
If your national sport is criket, you’re bound to see criket on your telly mate. And please don’t use the term EPL, makes me think I’m on Goal.com.
Morning smartalex
Just the thought of Torres playing in blue and in the Europa is fun enough buddy! Hope so…..
Come on fellow reds, we have battle tonight…
Wake up boys, there’s a light at the window,
I can hear someone knocking on the door,
There are voices in the street,
And the sound of running feet,
Let us rejoice at captain Vidic and co smash them south coast French boys
@Kings: You said “If I was to make provisions to replace the great Scholesy, then there is only one player I would pull out all the stops to sign”
Very intriguing mate – who would that player be?
@shubhangmanred : Signed it. It’s a fucking disgrace. Cricket is for Liz Hurley and other assorted sissies anyway. If I have to watch pre-determined sporting outcomes, I would rather watch The Undertaker. Fucking colonial cricket – joke of a sport these days.
Kings – Morning mate. Yeah well thanks, you? Belter of a post as usual. No mate the more I see Modric the more I do not rate him. He was bullied time and again last night by Blackpool and is not a United player. Who is that player you would go for? Sneijder?
@Cedars
Hi mate. Yeah I gave my thoughts yesterday. I am guessing that the line up will be something like this:
VDS – Rafael, Vidic, Smalling, Evra – Nani, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Rooney – Berbatov
Other than the right back spot, the team pickes itself really.
i want to see tunnicliffe in action tonight….
Modric had his appendix taking out King Eric. So, he should be off the pace atm. You know I disagree with you on Modric, so no point going over the finer points, yet again.
@jeet Seriously mate. Lost my love for cricket after the IPL. Bloody effing shameful.And TFT they are telecasting it on 3 channels, defies logic. And yeah WWE>cricket..
@shubha
atleast ipl has some unpredictability in it….
wwf is all about entertainment so its fake..
the fightings are absolutely predefined and got up
All Argentinians are wankers and we should never sign one again
geneside: Its all fuckin fixed, IMO
but i believe to some extent ipl is fixed….
hope football doesnt get the privilege of getting fixed….
everyone wants entertainment….
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/884587/sir-alex-ferguson-expects-paul-scholes-to-pen-new-man-utd-deal
Another year for Scholes?
Ahh geneside, we agree then. The only cricket I enjoy these days is a good, hard test match but i really miss the class players, mostly the bowlers. Earlier you had bowlers like Akram, Imran, Walsh, Bishop, Holding, Donald. Now all you got is Shaun “glass ankle” Tait. Fuck it all, I prefer watching Giggsy any day.
@geneside Maybe you are correct but i dislike cricket and IPL because of the way they throw vast sums of money on a lazy sport while other sportsmen practice in shitholes! No Indian cricketer is benifiting from all this anyway.
this is a strange onehttp://www.footballtransfertavern.com/2011/02/premiership/will-real-trigger-united-strikers-contract-clause-surely-not-probably?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TransferTavern+%28The+Transfer+Tavern+Home+Page%29
Fuck all this cricket talk.
WWE > Cricket.
We have Trish Stratus.
not sure why the link didn’t show,says rooney’s contract was just a patch up deal for this season and has a 25mill buy out clause that real will trigger in the summer.surely that has to be total bollocks.
first there was barca and now rm….
what the fuck is goin on…??
source of the rumour was itally where football was a bullied game……..
@wayne
Hi mate. It didn’t work because you posted the link right next to another word without leaving a gap. Anyway, it has to be bollocks. Even if Rooney didn’t sign the extension last October, we would definitely get more than 25 million for him this summer. This clause doesn’t make sense. Carroll is worth 35 ffs.
costas
as well as candice michelle….
wayne – That article seems like shite. English clubs don’t do the buy – out – clauses. That’s not to say, United aren’t in the box seat now, with Rooney signing the new deal in October.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti admits being coach of former club Roma remains just a dream.
The under-fire Chelsea boss is being strongly tipped to take charge at the Stadio Olimpico this summer.
The Eternal City outfit have just parted company with coach Claudio Ranieri and appointed the hugely inexperienced Vincenzo Montella in his place.
Montella insisted he is not a caretaker just keeping the managerial bench warm for Ancelotti – but reports in Italy insist the Chelsea boss will be taking charge of the Giallorossi come the summer.
But Ancelotti insists that he remains committed to Chelsea, telling Mediaset Premium: “Coaching Roma. For the moment it remains a dream.
“It’s my dream and I’ve always said this, but for the moment it remains so.
“I feel good here (at Chelsea).”
Ancelotti spent eight years with Roma during his distinguished player career and has been in charge at Stamford Bridge since 2009.
willie – Yeah mate I will give you that much re his appendix. He is just too lightweight mate imo. We NEED a fucking hardcase. We create plenty of chances. We will still agree to disagree.
I see CLLC is giving it large again after a frankly turgid performance against an awful Copenhagen. On about how they have bottle and won at OT and Anfield LAST SEASON. Yes John, last year you cunt. You have already been beat at Emirates, Wastelands and Anfield. Cunt. I fucking loathe him.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1359783/John-Terry-sets-sights-Champions-League-final.html
That Rooney story is bollocks. 25 million? Yeah ok.
ps willie – Really hope Scholesy signs that new deal.
Cricket? Wrestling? What the fuck lads?
that rumor has started over the last few days not at 25mill but real are going to make a move for rooney,today apart from that one,real will make a double bid for rooney and fabregas,the cunt perez not denying it.it seems these cunts can go out every year and spend millions on players without any consequence in paying back loans were do these fuckers get the money from year in year out,fucking hate them.
http://ryandunny.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/its-time-to-step-up/
My own view on the next few games!
wayne – Its disgusting mate the way this “club” operate. Where the fuck are Platini and Blatter when you need them? Oh thats right Blatter is on their board isnt he? How come they never get done for tappping up? Dispicable cunts,. Fuck off you fascist scum club.
I was hoping you lot could venture into the thrilling world of water polo, as I’m quite fond of it.
The Champions’ League is really all that Chelsea have left. And it’s probably Abramovich’s last chance to get his hands on it. They got an easy draw this time, but once they are tested, we will see what they are made of.
@geneside
Yeah, she was really hot back in the day. I have to say that Torrie Wilson was my all time favorite.
King Eric – He’s certainly not lightweight. Also, United haven’t had a tough nut, since Keano left. You wouldn’t describe Carrick as tough, would you? Anyways, I’ll leave that discussion for another day.
@King Eric hi mate i know those cunts start tapping up through the press months before they make a move just to unsettle a player.another thing its really hard to get concrete facts on what they owe,wage bill etc when i do a goggle search best information i get dates back to 2009,something really dodgy goes on with that club.
wouldn’t be surprised to see berba on the bench with rooney as lone striker again,i hope not i hate the formation seems to be sir alex’s favourite formation in cl away.
http://asia.eurosport.com/football/champions-league/2010-2011/spurs-warning-for-gattuso_sto2678445/story.shtml
lol.
@wayne
That might have been the case if another winger made the trip, but we only have Nani. So unless Fergie decides to play a midfield 5 of Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Gibson and Nani, I think Rooney will start on the left with Berbatov as the main striker.
Costas, you rank Stacy Keibler behind Torrie?
Then again, both are just as desirable! ;p
Now this challenges your love for United – threesome with SK and TW, or watching United in the VIP Box with SAF and Eric Cantona?
When I were a lad, me dad would buy a small chocolate each, for my sister and I, after church on Sunday. Bribery and corruption, I tell you! I still remember it vividly, how that small chocolate was mentioned daily by mom, and considered by us kids as ‘the pinnacle’ all week.
Talking about Modric, Schweinsteiger and Buffon, as we do, is a fairy tale of hope and wonder, that is only satisfied occasionally, after an indeterminable age (1 week in kids years).
Meanwhile, the rich and bitter load their trolly’s with every new flavor-of-the-month.
Theirs not to reason why. Theirs but to see and buy. Into the valley of deathly hush, ride the 600.
@Costas thought he might play jos in front of the d.
@YorYor
Yeah mate. I like Stacy a lot, but I have a special place in my heart for curves.
That’s a really tough dilemma, lol. Honeslty, I’d choose the latter. Plenty of hotties out there, but there’s only one king and there’s definitely only one Sir Alex . What about you?
smartalex – Quality does cost. What was It, Milk tray, Dairy box?
@wayne
That could be another option, but he usually resorts to that in case we are short on central midfield options. That’s why I mentioned Gibson in the alternative midfield. Either way, in my opinion, we would have the same problem. We wouldn’t have a lot of width in the side. Of course, Rooney on the left is not too effective either, but he does a better job there than Gibson or Fletcher. Another option could be O’Shea at left back and Evra as a left winger. Who knows?
Was it to take away the taste, lol.
The Goat has arrived.
No value in the market willierednut, even back then. We could choose up to a certain value. I mostly chose the 2-stick kitkat, as it was like 2 chocolates stuck together. A tiny morsel, gone in a flash.
Well GoatinaUnitedShirt, looking back, that chocolate did take away the taste! I can still remember the sweet delight of confection, no memory of confession or Confimation.
@Costas never thought of that evra on the left wing is a good option.
@costas
i think lita has very huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeee
dedication to this sport…
Confront your inner conflict and confide in us.
King Eric – Yeah I’m good thanks mate. Yeah Modric is definitely not United quality. I saw that game too and he looked out of his depth. Yeah Sneijder would be my choice. Obviously Scholes is a class apart from anyone, but this guy is world class too in my opinion. I felt we should have got him as part of the Ronaldo deal, baring in mind the fee he went to Inter Milan for (£13.5m). That’s not a put down on who we have already, but he would have given us another option. I do hope Scholes signs up for at least one more season.
jeet – Hello mate. As you can see above, Sneijder would be that player.
I will take the compliment. Let’s no forget he wanted to stay at United but was getting no action because of Paddy. He had a house in the area and liked it so he wanted to move to pool, so what? It was a step down and a player we did not use much anymore. Just like Owen coming to United. Don’t forget Heinze did give his all for us as a player.
King Eric and Willie, that’s an interesting debate about lightweights and tough nuts. Didn’t Gnev talk last week about the Makelele position and how everybody suddenly wanted one in their midfield. If I remember rightly, he said it’s not necessary for all teams. Think he then went on to talk about Scholes.
My view is that SAF likes to take midfielders with a creative flair/football brain – the stuff that you can’t teach, then he likes to teach them how to defend. If they don’t like it, they’re out. If they progress, they get their chances on rotation.
Problem with Modric. Yes he can pass, yes he can run BUT he cannot tackle ala Scholes and he never heads the ball. Why go backwards trying to replace the great Paul Scholes with a shoddy Chinese (yes I said Chinese – fuck off) copy. Take a new direction as we cannot and never will replace the ginger bomber.
OK, I’ll confide! I used to save the chocolate for the following week, where I would bribe the neighbours kid to go to church for me. He became an altered boy.
Schweinsteiger, Sneijder and Modric are pipe dreams.
in the brilliant hands of saf anyone can be groomed and become a good player…….
Saying that, If we had to plum for one those players, then I’d go for Schweinsteiger. He has It all and is a better all round player, than the other two.
@Costas,
Well, ideally I’d bring both of them to OT for the game, then wink at SAF and tell Eric, “You’re Cantona, but I’m just a man” as I walk off with SK and TW.
But we know we’re both dreaming and it’ll just turn out to be a real wet one.
Hahaha!
Don’t know why, I don’t have the jitters for tonight’s game. I don’t know but I’m quite sure we’ll actually walk away with a win.
On modric not being United quality, I said the same about Carrick, back in the day. He changed my mind, but he has me doubting my own opinion, when he performs, like he did against Crawley. I’m sure I wasn’t alone in thinking, 18 million for Carrick was way too much money. As It was, he lifted his game for a few years and helped United to three titles on the trot and the champions league.
