Dwight Yorke has reflecting upon becoming Manchester United’s record signing when he joined from Aston Villa for £12.8m in August 1998.
“You go from being pretty well-known to being public property,” he said. “The expectation level rose from the change in clubs rather than the fee itself. I had nothing to do with the fee, so it didn’t bother me that much. I coped by being determined to enjoy myself. I just thought: ‘I’m playing for Manchester United, how good is this?’ I’ve got a West Indian background and, to a certain degree, a West Indian mentality. I’m not easily fazed. The day I walked into that fabulous dressing room, filled with world-class players, I felt confident that I could carry on doing what I had done for Villa at Manchester United.”

Good Times!
The unselfish one in a great strike partnership.
He was nearly as laid-back as I am!
Legend.
For Trinidad and Tobago.
@Costas
Funny!
Let’s hope this does not start the legend debate again, life’s too short!
Can see by the Gaffer’s smile that he knew something great was about to happen!
Yorke £12.8m in 1998
Chicharito £7m in 2010
Bent £18m in 2011
Some value in the market, need to know where to look.
But, why the transfer market doesn’t make sense anymore for MU?
Selling our players all at cheap then they flourish to a certain extent elsewhere and come back to haunt us — read Gerard Pique
Buying players at a premium price then they certainly flop some time later — read Carrick and co…
Even selling Ronaldo at record price also — see how his scoring rate in RM?
What happened, Fergie?
@ Costas
Hahahahaha…. Your double post cracked me up mate….
Take care my Greek friend
Collyhurst Red
Seems we are both of the ‘legendary’ laid back types. If I was sipping a coffee and an earth quake erupts, I would enjoy the last drop before thinking about making a run for it !! lol
For those that are currently experiencing a major time warp where each minute takes an hour to pass, the early match (in 2 hrs) is Wolves vs loserpool. Early news is that Granny Dalglish appears to have a lovely new set of teeth. Mick McCarnivore is unavailable for comment.
fantastic player for United and a great representative on sky sports as he will always defend us against that twat Jamie ABU Redknapp.
Yorke and Cole were amazing together almost telepathicly linked
As much as I would love our Park to lift the trophy for his country as captain I will selfishly say GO Iran so we can get our player back early!
smartalex
LOL mate, brilliant as usual ….. Wolves for a double over the dippers?
zactaxe,
To call Carrick ‘certainly a flop some time later’ is just unfair to him. When he helped us win the league in 2008, did you call him ‘certainly flop some time later’ too ? I mean c’mon, dip of form is just – I dunno, the gaffer knows best, but he’s rarely been the one who sell players simply because his form dipped. I mean if we were to listen to fidgety fans, what quality we would’ve missed in Nani etc.
And it doesn’t take any genius to figure out what happened, are you not aware of the Green & Gold campaign that has been ongoing for the past couple of seasons now ?
Duh.
Thanks CedarsDevil! Good to see you in here early. I’d LOVE Wolves to do that double, Blackpool came close.
I’m hoping Ji returns with Silverware, as a boost to United. When our ever-hungry players get the whiff of glory they’ll be like wild stallions on the open plains. Nothing will stop us.
Dwight York cool smiling assasin. Did well for us. Love and respect .
Still man him and bosnich and jordan and sex tapes ,which im sure some u guys in the uk might have watched.
I wonder if he might coach at United.Fergie has invited Andy Cole to coach, he hasnt done so but maybe in the future.
andersblog has run a piece on what David Gill has said that we Manutd can still compete with our rivals. Interesting as always. This decade I hope will see the debt cleared.Hopefully by 2017.
Manchester United winning the battle today.
Wigan winning thier battle today.
Aston Villa winning thier battle today.
Newcastle winning ther battle today.
Bolton winning thier battle Monday night.
smartalex
Blackpool actually DID the double over the dippers mate……
Dave Malaysia
Responded to your comment on the earlier thread buddy
Didn’t comment on it before, but when he was on form, he was an awesome player. 12 years later and you still hear people raving about Yorke-Cole and Dwight played a huge part in making that work, because truth be told, not every United striker got Andy. Cantona can attest and Ole can too I think.
Yorke would have also made a great partner for Ruud, but…
@CedarsDevil, Collyhurst Red
Lol, don’t worry lads. If I am going to be serious about the legend stuff, I will add the words “Manchester United” before the word “legend”.
@CedarsDevil: Read your comments on the other article, I beleive u, u might just order another cuppa even with tthe aftershocks. cool customer u are, lol. Take care mate.hope theres peace.
@zactaxe 10.37 : Gerard wanted to return home and we got fair price for him. He did not come back to haunt us,we just never turned up at that game. Still a mystery to me what happened to the team,Fergie says he figured out what happened but he is not telling.
Michael Carrick has contributed to every trophy we have won since he joined us.
Ronaldo wanted to leave and we got the transfer record for him,he has moved on so have we.
Legend. I will never forget that wonderful goal at the Nou Camp when Yorkie and Cole combined. Great seeing him as a guest on Sky Sports, fighting our corner against all those ABU cunts, especially that slimey arse licking cunt Jamie Redknapp who loves having a dig at United.
@CedarsDevil: I hope Park wins the asian cup,retires from international duty,comes back,rest, then up gears for us .
Have u seen the kid Shinji?
Me thinks the gunners fans are going to pull thier hair out if the story of woodgate to arse is true.
Rednapp got mugged by six men in madrid. perez,valdano, were named as main suspects!
Costas
I agree my friend, the Cole & Yorke combo terrorized defences both in the PL and Europe, watching them was a true joy…. To my recollection their game at Barca during the treble season was awesome as many more were of course
Dave Malaysia
I meant my response to you under the thread related to RVN lol….. Where you mentioned our civil war buddy
Dave Malaysia
The only match I have watched so far was Japan v Qatar yesterday, not my sort of football sadly…
A correction, my reply is in the Giggs thread not RVN! Blame it on old age lol
That’s right CedarsDevil! Blackpool completed it a couple of weeks ago. I’m also dazed and confused!
@CedarsDevil: Read it dude,good luck to you and yr family,hope theres peace,hopefully people have had enough violence. Just read Jumblatt comments, u live in a world of chess players,difficult to fanthom. take care dude.
on the other thing ,age, be ageless ,lol. be a wine ,get better always.
smartalex
Makes 2 of us mate!
Off topic an interesting stat especially for those fans from the south who love mocking fans from the North… lol Total titles by North West clubs 54, total titles won by clubs from London 19 hahahahaha

Dave Malaysia
Cheers buddy and again thanks for the wishes… I am actually like a fine wine, seem to get better with age lol, al least my wife sells me the thought… haha
Take care and keep it UNITED forever
Good News!!!
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3365354/Michael-Carrick-is-free-to-leave-Manchester-United-in-the-summer.html
Dogleash’s first 2 contributions; Getting knocked out of the FA cup and allowing Blackpool to do the double over them for the first time I think in decades. Kenny Remain At Pool…
@Cedars
That was the highlight of their partnership. As well as the Brondby games. I get nostalgic just thinking about that partnership.
Does she tell you to ‘put a cork in it’ when you’ve had a few?
Fair fact that Carrick contributed for each of our past few trophys — but do u say the same for every squad member thus they don’t deserved to be considered off?
e.g. Foster “single-iPodly” won us the League Cup, does that means he shud be staying forever?
What I am saying is, somehow one way or another, MU’s transfer market acts need to be questioned
– read, not Fergie to be questioned, but the entire club’s problem…
Why we are not getting deals like Van der Vaart? Ramsey? Bale?
It’s an open question, relating to this post where Yorke was once our one great bargain buy…
Raizzen and Dave Malaysia : fair comments, but please consider that we are not that shrewed in buying players now…
@smartalex: thats a good one.
If Carrick won’t get a new deal, this summer is the time to cash in. If he does leave, it’s been a very succesul 5 years for the club and Carrick has been at the forefront. We better find a good replacement.
@zactaxe: Michael is still contributing and has done well this season for us,until we have someone better to take over ,he will still be here.
The sun story is part of articles of different papers to aim at players they think are going to be shipped out. They are getting it wrong all the time.
I have commented in length about the rebuilding ,that many careers will be decided this season,
Carrick seems to have made a comeback.
Fergie will decide in the summer. He has said how he signed the group of players on new contracts cos they will grow up together and later take over as seniors in the team,keeping our team culture going. Carrick was part of this group,so if he keeps improving this season he will be around yet me thinks. At least till someone steps up and runs the midfeild better.
Costas
Got your point, sort of brings back good memories for me too….
smartalex
LOL, id depends where she wants the cork to be placed mate!
Ok me go now,calm self, be like CedarDevil,calm even when got earthquake.
Prepare for game.
Then “operation grab the tv remote’ to watch battle.
Then hopefully me dance after game ,comeback here , and rant!!!
zactaxe
Ramsey? You must be joking buddy
That article in the Sun is called ‘exclusive’ and yet it is only a reporter clearly and unashamedly lying. His statement that Carrick will not be offered an extension is complete fabrication. If he had even the vaguest link to back his claim he’d be shoving it down our throats.
Carrick may chose to leave, very unlikely. Sir Alex will be encouraging him to sign an extension.
Dave Malaysia
hahahahaha, brilliant, better hide that remote before the wife gets it! And yes me go, settle watch match practise typing on english language so fans from clubs do not abuse me for coming from foreign regions and think I am ignorant. Me try hard but me also is idiot because I do not live close to Manchester as shitty fans will say to us…..
Will be back for the rant as well buddy
Off Topic – but still hilarious
http://www.thehardtackle.com/index.php/wengers-night-to-shine-manager-of-the-decade/
Zactax
Van Der Vaart’s not for UTD. Spurs are welcome to him. Main reason is SAF wouldn’t change the long term plan to accommodate him. I’d rather have Ji in that role behind a striker – if SAF ever did go for that tactic. He was great in that role during the world cup.
There’s something about having Michael Carrick in the team that brings a certain calmness. I’m sure he’d be right there with Cedars enjoying a java in the lava.
when we signed yorke I was so delighted, a striker that is almost the complete package. And a way to say we were changing from the cantona era
zactaxe,
spot on on the VDV. 7 fcukin million! Look at all the flair and scoring shifts United could do with. And he was eager too. But sighs. Past is past. I think we’ll see some interesting development in the midfield are come next season.
Here’s hoping for things to turn Cleverly for United!
Great player for United until he hooked with the dragon queen. Great partnership with Cole, but I’d always have Cole ahead of him. Coley was more consistent than Yorkey.
I bet Costas could come up with a better funny English post written in Greek style
Willie
Agreed, Cole over Yorke (with out hopefully starting a debate! lol) One highlight from Yorke for me was his trio of goals vs the arse in that 6 – 1 win at OT
Will Keane v West Ham
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Bt7ppChK1y8
CedarsDevil – There was a lot of shite talked about Cole mate. It all came from that prat Hoddle saying he needed 5 chances to score one goal. People forget how much pressure was on him when he signed for United. He was powerful, fast and could score with either foot. Only Shearer Is ahead of him in premiership goals, not bad for a striker who needed 5 chances to score, eh?
Come on you wolves (do not really like you mind you) but put one over the dippers and bring this week end to a perfect start
Willie
Agreed again (going for a record here! lol) but seriously Cole was class everyone outside our club including the England set up always under sold the guy but as you say his goals return should be enough to shut those ABU pricks up
Do Liverpool even matter anymore? There a poor side, no interest in them.
Willie
They never mattered mate, just always good for a laugh
reading this blog has been part of my daily schedule for prolly 2 years now and i can honestly say i think this is the first time i have seen dwight yorke mentioned. this guy was and still is my idol, he was a fucking cracking player and when him and A.Cole linked up there was no stopping us. i think this guy deserves ALOT more love from us than he is given. to this day, i can safely say he is my favorite united striker to have witnessed play for us, LEGEND in my books!!!
Fantastic to hear manci-yanky. Truly uplifting post!
Come on United!
CedarsDevil – You’ve got a point lol.
Interesting to see that the dippers under King dog leash have actually become worse and judging by their season you would have thought that was impossible….
So cheerful I actually agreed to play Monopoly with my daughter whilst watching this bore fest
Make sure you pass go Cedars lol.
I’ve got Bill Leslie & Gary O’Reilly commentating on the wolves : loserpool game.
I’m impressed, there hasn’t been a word against United. I realize we’re not playing, but still.
We need these 2 pundits to work late today.
Wolves 0:0 loserpool
35 minutes
Wolves 0:1 loserpool
36 minutes Torres
smartalex
Got the same pair mate and I agree, no mention of United yet! Mind you, ladyboy just scored, guess it makes it more of a heart break to lose from a winning position …… ever the optimist here
Willie
She is skinning me alive buddy lol
combination play with Cole against Barcelona was one of the best you could ever see from a strike pair – the one-two-one left Barca absolute static …
thank you for the memories yorkie.
Fergie quotes on United review:
“I won’t be going into the transfer market [this month]. I thought at one time I’d like to bring in one player but that’s not worked out. I don’t feel it’s necessary to buy just for the sake of it because I am more than happy with the squad”.
I wonder which player he is talking about and why it didn’t work out.
The invisible man.
I remember buying Yorke from Villa on Championship manager a few months before he signed, Bought him for £12.5m
Over the moon when he signed, My favorite striker along with Rvn, Dimi and Ole.
@costas: ashley young? … that is the only player that i have heard..
Kevin Bacon?
Chevy Chase.
@hammons
Young? First time I’ve heard about it to be honest. I think it must have been someone outside England.
It was no one, Fergie winds us fans up lol.
Just seen on ‘Amazing Football Facts’ that loserpool have been in the Premiership since it started in 1992. Well I never… I must need new glasses.
It was Darren Bent. But Fergie thought 18 million was a joke. He wanted to pay 30. No less.
Best player in uniteds best ever season.
29 goals and 26 assists, should have been world player of the year
When will people get over Forlan, Pique, Rossi, and VDV? I mean, seriously, come on. Stop looking over your shoulder and crying over spilt milk. Look ahead at all the cows in the field. And all the calves in the Academy. I saw we have plenty of fresh milk ahead of us.
I *say* we have plenty of fresh milk ahead of us.
Costas – Right mate, go and do your team hunting facts.
NY Cosmos just beat Sir Alex to the signing of Cantona.
Wolves 0:2 loserpool
50 minutes
Fuck
@willie
The line up? What’s the point? Someone will definitely post it before me, lol.
I guess that the match thread will have the line-up.
Have you given up now Costas? lol
Yeah, it’s arijc’s job nowdays.
And someone else’s, but I forget his username now, lol.
@smartalex
Will there be a match thread today? It may be too late for that now. Scott’s probably on his way to OT now.
United team: vds, oshea, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Anderson, carrick, Giggs, Rooney, Berba
11am? Nice username.
Got it from Mark Sullivan on twitter.
7 out of 11. I know Rio would be rested. Brown apparently is still getting his spanking.
who’s on the bench costas?
Yeah him willie. Yeah it is. It’s a good time to wake up.
Correction. Rio has a groin injury according to Ben Hibbs.
Rio will play on Tuesday. Since we’ll have most of the ball, no need risking Rio today. Disappointing about Wes.
Don’t know yet hammons. They just posted the first 11. So that’s the line up from two different sources. Interesting that Smalling got the nod ahead of Evans. It leaves JOS as the sole scapegoat today…
Subs; Kuszczak, Owen, Scholes, Fabio, Evans, Obertan, Gibson
Brown and Fletch not even on the bench.
No Hernandez either. Just noticed…
I know it was just a reserve game but Im sure i saw JOS nutmeg someone for an assist in the 8-0
Jonny redeemed himself against the vermin, lets hope JOS can do the same today.
9 out of 11. I had Scholes for Giggs, and Rio for Smalling.
Smalling plays on the right, Evans on the left. I think that is SAF’s thoughts.
Thanks Costas … interesting that Wes has missed out again and Fergie said he will not be selling/loaning him out, either.
think ferguson learned from last weekend’s selection to have a winger and a full-back in the squad, but no hernandez is the shock for me.
Hernandez could start at Blackpool, unless he’s injured.
Could this round of matches serve up the same shockers we have enjoyed recently where our rivals hit the buffers.here’s hoping.
if i was wes i’d ask for a transfer doesn’t make any sense to me the lads getting the shaft.
what exactly has Wes done
joseph – it was a joke that backfired apparently, and it involved calling the manager a ‘cunt’
When a cunt backfires it can be messy.
I read somewhere Brown would consider retirement if the alternative was playing for another club. RVN has apologised..maybe Wes should get in there while the going gets good.
Wes shouldn’t be too surprised at being left out after what he said to Fergie.
Wolves 0:3 loserpool
91 minutes
utd website says
Van der Sar; O’Shea, Smalling, Vidic, Evra; Nani, Carrick, Anderson, Giggs; Rooney, Berbatov.
Subs: Kuszczak, Evans, Fabio, Gibson, Scholes, Obertan.
only six subs?
Is this week just this week or could it really be next week?hope springs eternal.
i just think the wes situation goes past football it becomes a matter of pride and self respect.he had a great season a few years ago as starting right back before getting injured,he’s a better back than gary.n,fabio and o’shea and is just getting frozen out.i have the greatest respect for sir alex and the things he’s done for utd but this is just wrong
Wayne..i agree.all things being said he has been here all his life.Will he get a look in next season as punishment completed?Cant be the first row..
SAF has said that he was interested in bringing in one player, but that hasn’t worked out. Says squad is good enough.
smartalex – so that would make Messi a backfiring cunt
personally, and i know most people will disagree with me but i wouldnt mind if he leaves.
atm he is 5th choice centre back and for me 3rd choice right back, id much rather have oshea in when rafael isnt fit. i know about his pre season antics and i dont know if it comes into play but he should know better. i think fergie is jus keeping him around after our defence injuries last season, as a just in case.
He also said Sunderland can win the league.
xol Exactly! HaHaHa!!!
Looking at their midfield, does Alex miss Ferguson Much?
First wes on his way out now its carrick, the papers are doing the rounds this weekend. The way i see it there may be a number of exits at the end of the season. i recall saying earlier that someone will be axed in the midfield and i stand by it;however i’ll leave the task to SAF. Either way there’s going to be a couple of surprised players come the end of the season
So 07-08 was just a fluke then? It’s a shame since imo Brown is a better player than O’shea.
Gibson is the 7th substitute.
completely off topic but a fucked up fact add the year born plus the age you’ll turn this year it’ll come to 111 applys to everyone,thats pretty messed up
You’re right, that was way of topic.
I think Ferguson had an Aberdeen player get into a shoving match with him back in the day. They were both kind of drunk after a cup win and that’s where it ended. Wes should have been left off the hook by now if the ROM story is true. Anyway, I’ll try to find the story in Barclay’s book later on.
Right now, come on United!
COME ON UNITED!!!
@wayne.
Yeah, lol. I like the number 2, so I hope to be alive when that applies for the number 222.
Cmon United……..and villa.
Come on United!
i know just popped into my head and i find it pretty fucked
Fucking feaky more like lol.
@costas lol maybe my 3rd or 4th life
berba ….get the fuck in
Berbarov 2nd minute!!!!

Anyone have the livestream for the game?
John O Shea made the goal
Remember that one

Come on Mr. Ambition get it going
Should have had a bloody second and all

any live stream links available?
I’m listening to 5live
Dion Dublin is on radio – fucking brilliant –
United are playing so well!!
JOS needs to beat the first man with his crosses. Corners are a nice consolation, but do it in the flow of the game.
Goos nudge on Smalling to negate his chances on Giggs’ chipped cross.
Now now stop taking the piss out of RedScot
Let the man be here to defend himself

Goal of the season!!!!!!!!!!! Ryan Giggs!

Defiance is not taught you are either born with it or you are not
I’ve died and went to heaven, that was fucking class lol.
rooney looks up for it…all he now needs is a goal
THAT. WAS. BRILLIANT. Even when he falls, he gets balls. Berbatov, Berbatov!
Foster stumbling and bumbling. UNDERLINING why he isn’t United class.
Top quality first half.
willie red nuts…are we that good today or are Brum just shit…? I THINK WE ARE JUST MAGIC
I know lots of hatred toward Rooney. But you all should agree that his performance was superb.
Sell the flop.
Giggsyyyyy!! A Walking God amongst mere men.
Nani kicks the ball out, starts to walk away, but gets a corner. Hmmmmm. I guess Ref blindness is contagious
willierednut says:
Fucking dud! Terrible ball Rooneyhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Not the one to Giggs though.
@RadLegion
Agreed. Rooney has been critisized for his goalscoring, but he is not playing as a centre forward anymore is he? I haven’t seen him track back as much since the days he was partnering Ruud. He hasn’t even had a chance on goal I think.
Steady Costas …lol …..Berba aint been that bad today…lol
Ryan = fine wine
@TonyBee
I don’t care. Sell him. He only has 17 goals this season. He should have had 45.
Hopefully this form continues in the second half.
TonyBee – I think we’re playing on a different level today mate. Some of passing is just too good for Birmingham. That third goal typified that first half.
cant believe i am missing the game. Just saw my ex-neighbour and i am chasing after her. Is the game that good?
Richardson 2 at Blackpool.
Giggs on form and rested is such a huge difference maker isn’t he?
Come on now and talk all those idiots who told Berba was lazy. The lazy Bulgarian son of a bitch scores a brace to get to his best goalscoring season and then, WOW!, shows passion and appetite to win the ball and create the awesome third goal. Some lazy idiot, he is!
Anyways, our best performance since the Blackburn mauling. We are simply irresistible and if only we can maintain this sort of form – which I guess we should because after all post-Christmas is known worldwide as Manchester United’s time – then there should be little difficulty in getting to 19. Also, Fergie, sign him up! Giggs has been amazing today and he is fucking 37. What a finish! I have nightmares thinking how much we will miss him and Scholes so much.
Also Rooney, even though some way off his best, has shown that he still has the hunger to do it in a United shirt. We are not even near the point of reconciliation (which might never happen) with him but at least he is showing the desire on the pitch which is good. Nigel Winterburn made a nice point (on the PL Channel), if that was Nani in Rooney’s position for the third goal, the pass does not find Giggs with that much accuracy. So, all he needs to do is start scoring and it will be good. Plus, words cannot explain how much of a difference he brings to Berba’s game.
yeah Willie we had one part of the half when in their box and passes and back heels were working…. fucking brilliant…. Macleish must be telling his lads try and keep it under 10 nil today lads
Shame Redscot aint on here today as he would be drooling over Berbatov’s game
You know, this “not hitting the top gear yet” is just nonsense and getting very old. When Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs ride on their luck, they said “that’s why they are a serious title contender” but even after we:
1. hit blackburn with 7-0,
2. are still #1
3. have one game at hand
4. have been doing this constantly in the last decade and more
.. they still haven’t given United the acknowledgement they truly deserve.
You’re chasing your neighbour? Is she fit?
devilnani …..chasing after her what…lol
So far seems it is next week.
If Arsenal scored a goal like our third one, the media would go into melt down.
come on Devil nani tell us more……
COME ON UNITED!!!!
fabio on for paddy
Devil leave the neighbour and watch the game ffs.
Berbagasm > Orgasm
oh fuck me ROON
@tony, willierednut
She was my first crush guys.. Never told her how i felt.. She thinks me as just a friend…
She is the typical girl next door..
How does Nani get called “a little but selfish” when he puts it on a plate for Rooney like that?
Rooneys played well, but he needs a goal.
What a miss by Rooney
BTW really good first half performance. Good to see fabio getting a chance to show his skills.
Raphael is on . Oh wait
I wanna goal from Gibson!
well devilnani, you have our support as long as what you are not chasing a “backfiring cunt” (see earlier posts if offended)
Time to pick up the pace again.
BERBAGASM
Berbattrick!!!!!!!
Awessssommeee
Suck on that !!!!!!!!!
VDS Roon, Gigg, Berg3.
Can’t do better than that.
What can ya say about the Berb? Class act.
your wish is their command Bishopville red….lol
devilnani – Been there and done that lol.
devil nani…tell her you follow Utd …she might just drop her drawers
Berbalicous
Great save Edwin!
Someone get Berbatov a deck chair!
Nani wants his fucking goal!
Wayne Rooney CAN pass.
What is happening to nani?Poor lad,trying his best to score a goal
Darren Gibson CAN pass.
That stream has been removed. Anyone got any other links to hand?
Nani’s final ball lets him down at times.
Nani is pissing Wazza
Nani is playing some terrible football!
looks like rooneys wants to giv nani a slap
He needs to think about the basics rather than tryin to score and putting so much whip on the ball. Just fuckin cross luis!!!!!
There’s still a goal in this game. Keep Going united!!
Sell Berb buy Bally-telly!!!
The Berb’s the word! so happy 4 him :O)
Better Nani!!!
Foster finally makes a ‘save’ and then hoofs it into row x.
what is it with Nani…..cunt …pass the fucking football you fucking dago prick…..
atleast that one was on target from nani
just want to get his fucking name on the scoresheet….selfish bastard
if he continues to hog the ball the others wont pass it to him
ref shown anyone a card yet -
NANIII!!.. At last!
Nani you cunt…..hahahahah me and my big mouth….
Nani! Now he can start passing.

Berba Hat trick first time since Ruud boy’s 02/03 season one

Nani now you are pissing me off too!
How eye popping is this display,Absolutely incredible show.
Nani… (sigh). At times i hate to love him.
rooney you useless fucker
wazza you is so shit
If they weren’t already, teammates are getting pissed with Nani. Simplify, son!
I call one more goal!
Tonybee don’t push your luck trying to get roo 2 goals!
Benny Foster, whats the score? Do we regret the club letting you go. Good player, average winning mentality. meh
fuck me rooney you fucking numnutting fuckpig…..
donna massager….make it 3 or 4
Nani is too selfish for a united player wayne rooney has nine assists to his name.if he had been selfish he would just keep taking shots and make us loose goals.its not all about a player its about the team.nani!!
Go on Fabio
as for you Owen you scouse dickhead……..
@TonyBee
Lay off Nani you plunk!!!
He’s obviously has been given a licence to score by SAF.
He’s been fantastic!!!!!!
Thanks for the shout-out Tonybee
“Bumbling” Ben Foster getting the piss ripped out of him by the Stretford End
Anderson almost collected his own pass there. Would have been special.
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday TonyBee -ee
Happy birthday to me…..
I’ll take a 5-nil win as a birthday gift from my beloved REDS
TODAY THEY WERE MAGNIFICENT
Glory! Glory Manchester United!

Fergie coming down the steps with a cheeky smile!!!
SUPERBATOV.
TonyBee – Thanks for the link mate.
Sell Berba and buy back Foster
BERBATMAN
Memo to DavidB7…The more you shout at Nani the better he plays. so do one….Plunk indeed ….
it’s Mr Plunk to you….
Berba is on Berbariffic form just fucking Berbalicious
Guys guys guys… have you not figured out yet that the best way to get rid of the citeh/chelsea/etc fans who come here pretending to be United fans complaining about the players….. is to just ignore them????
Berbatov’s rise to power continues
The Godfather.
rooney berba fine wine ryan ando were excellent today nani flopped a bit vidic didnt need to be at his best smalling is going to be great he does it effortless happy day
Well played boysss.
Foster you must be enjoying your life as its guarenteed that you will start always for brums.

Rooney is great but still isnt the rooney we know so thats great
Nani pls dont be that selfish but scored a beauty
Giggs -No words.LEGEND\
Ando should start every game.Another great performance
vida as usual rock in the back
I need to say smalling and fabio both looked great so our future is great.
#19 is getting closer.
UNITED FOREVER
REPORT | United 5 Birmingham 0: Berbatov Batters Brum
http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2011/01/united-5-birmingham-0-berbatov-batters.html
Kings@ aint bad…….. needs to chop and change but good link
Only Shitrer and Ruud have scored 3 hat tricks in a season.
costas …….you kebab….loo buy foster …roflmao
One of the best performances of the year. Very enjoyable and the crowd was pretty good. I thought our youngsters had a great game too. Nothing else to say.
5-0 Sweat victory. Now we have to win one of our games in hand. The Blackpool game away is very important as this will be one of our 2 games in hand. Soooo important.
MOTM Berbatov
First United player to score 3 hat tricks in one season since Ruud did it in 02-03.
Goal of the match Ryan Giggs. 3-0
Assist of the match WR10 to Giggs 3-0
Miss of the match WR10 for United, Fahey for the blues
@ Costas That 3 in a season stat is only for the Prem era I believe. Think Dennis Law did it, maybe others.
sniff….how about Happy Birthday TonyBee orez
if hammons wants more people to read his united religion site he would do well to write in better english, instead of putting his link in the comments of every other article on ROM
Was that stylish enough for you Mr Wenger?
What a sensational performance. Utterly outclassed them.
Berbatov is scoring more because he has been put higher up the pitch.
If you are Man Utd, and SAF trusts you to lead the attack … well …
van Nistlerooy, Ronaldo, Rooney, Berbatov … you are going to get goals.
His performances have been similar to what they have always been – and that is fantastic – but this time people are noticing him because he is scoring more. People know so little about football. If a goalkeeper saves, he is doing well. When a creator creates, he is doing well. Berbatov is that magician of a creator that very few teams in the world have … except this one can score too.
No one can have complaints about that performance..5 Star performance from the lads..Just the kind of win to warm the boys for the Blackpool game..GGMU!!!!
p.s..Was it just me or was some of the passing from Gibbo and Smalling in the Scholesy mode??
TonyBee – Happy birthday mate and the lads done the business as well.
at fucking last ….been dropping hints all fucking afternoon….
thank you very much Willie
I just hope that come Tuesday, Nani has his crossing boots back on. It was pretty awful today if I may say. On the plus side, that was his 6th goal with his left this season. 8 in total.
@FletchTHEMAN
Yeah I think it’s for the Pr.League only too.
Oh and how awesome was Edwin’s clearance that led to Berb’s hat trick? Quite “ambitious” I’d say.
@TonyBee
Happy Birthday mate. Thank God your hints were too difficult to decypher!
costas…lol
300th comment with a smile
To all the Berbatov doubters, If you feed him, he will score. Yum yum
did you get to the game GHTT
Really pleased about how Smalling is coming along. Fabio did well. So pleased about the whole game. Owen on late but started to click, really believe he should get a new contract. Tell you what, if you want to look at prem hat tricks, I believe Owen has 8, kid has some quality and just needs games.
@Utd4life. Nice post mate. Gibbo has received some over the top bile at times. Some folks need to relax about our youngsters. They have quality and just need to grow into the shoes.
United future was definitely on view
Excellent game from Nani Anderson, Gibson, Fabio, Smalling
Anyone know what the word on Carrick is.
No Gibson slagging? No JOS slagging? Surely not. Now, to the seaside. Candy floss, yum yum.
Has any player scored 4 hat-tricks in one Premier League season before? If not, I fancy Berbatov to be the first one to achieve that this season. Magical
Only diss players when they displease me ……when IMO they aint doing it…lol
but they sure did it today all of them were magnificent…. be interesting what all the media have to say about UTD in the press… especially Collybore on Talkshite and Hansen on MOTD.
When that cunt Rooney going to score? Don’t wanna show any bias. Come on the Villans!
joel – shearer got 5 hatricks in the 1995-96 season
TonyBee
Started already mate. Andy ‘the expert’ Townsend reckons Arsenal should have had 10 whilst we were far from our best again! hahahahahahahahahah
all u Berabaduobter’s take that!!!!! com’n villians fuck shitty now!!!!!
Andy Townsend = Karl Malden
Being from Trinidad, I am so proud that Yorke played for United. Everytime I ever saw him in public I just nod my head as to say “Yeah you did, you fucking played for United”.
Forever United
DARREN BENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow maybe he is worth his money
Willie
Good comparison mate, but I suppose Andy’s is bigger! lol
Joel.
Dennis Law was a special player, Scored for fun. Scored 3 or more hat tricks in 2 different seasons for us and several other hat tricks in other seasons. Granted, a bit different than what Ruud and Berbatov have done, scoring 3 hat tricks against prem competition. Would be very special if Berbatov could do it again this season. That would really set him up for some special awards which we all know he is due!
63-64 season 6 hat tricks (2 in first division, 2 FA cup ties, 2 more in europe)
Law, Denis – 03/09/1963 – Ipswich Town
Law, Denis – 15/10/1963 – Willem II
Law, Denis – 09/11/1963 – Tottenham Hotspur
Law, Denis – 07/12/1963 – Stoke City (4 goals)
Law, Denis – 25/01/1964 – Bristol Rovers (FA CUP tie)
Law, Denis – 26/02/1964 – Sporting Lisbon
Law, Denis – 09/03/1964 – Sunderland (FA CUP tie)
68-69 season 3 hat tricks.
Law, Denis – 18/09/1968 – Waterford (European Cup)
Law, Denis – 18/01/1969 – Sunderland (4 goals, European Cup)
Law, Denis – 24/02/1969 – Birmingham City
From the excellent manutdtalk site the have compiled all the hat tricks or better from United players.
none better then the lawman!
