“I’m Captain Of Manchester United – Why Would I Leave?”

This time last year, it seemed almost inevitable that Nemanja Vidic was going to leave Manchester United. Whilst the player had repeatedly claimed he was going to see out his contract, his agent seemed less certain.

However, out of the blue, Vidic went on to sign a new four year deal with the club and was named captain for the 2010-2011 season.

Silvano Martina has today reaffirmed Vidic’s commitment to the club, revealing a conversation he had with him over the possibility of moving elsewhere.

“Vidic is a player that everyone wants,” he told Radio Sportiva. “I talked to him about a hypothetical transfer and he said ‘I am the captain of Manchester United, I’ve won almost everything. ‘Why should I go to Italy right now that Italian football is going through such a turbulent moment?’. This response removes any doubt about his future – he stays where he is.”

    player’s agents are even worse than people like the glaziers.
    always try to unsettle the player to leave so they can get a big part of the cake.

    unbelieveable how much I hate these guys

  2. Whiteside says:

    Nice one ya fucking murderer.

  3. Whiteside says:

    Not you Zelh, you’re not a murderer are you?

  4. Robbinhood Savage says:

    One of the best moves by Fergie:

    making Vidic the captain.

  5. Passe says:

    “I talked to him about a hypothetical transfer”

    What did Gary say about players needing agents again?

  6. Costas says:

    Sell Vidic buy Djourou.

  7. Redranz says:

    Djourou? I thought we had enough janitors at OT.

  8. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Vida Will go down in history as one of our greatest defenders….

    The Man Bleeds for us every season, he puts his head in places that has made his face deformed.

    I can remember Vida having a

    - tooth knocked out by drogba
    - broken collar bone
    - broken nose
    -bloody nose
    - I think he also had a his head cut by a elbow or a head clash Dunno

    This man is already one of my favourite players in modern football because of his dedication and fight for Manchester United. In 2006 this lad made a breathtaking double tackle against copenhagen I think & I said “This guy will go on to become the best defender in the world, Watch! ”
    Even United Fans doubted that he would be this influential at the time.

    He had a tough start to his United Career Like Evra But got his down, focused, adapted and improved to become our Captain that lifted the 19th which he deserves.

  9. sachu says:

    @costas
    mate thats a good one
    maybe take squillaci as well

    also great to see that PHIL JONES AGENT HAS CONFIRMED DEAL WILL GO THROUGH IN 48 HRS
    SO NOPROBLEM

  10. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Costas

    Really Djourou, That guy is wonderful but not United quality, I’d Rather have That NICE boy Jamie Carragher – he may score own goals but fergie will channel those strengths of Carra into Real Goals.

    :lol:

    Some of that Qatari Monies should be used to also buy us ….
    Steven Taylor – The next big thing – The boy Won an Oscar for his performances on a Pitch, I am in awe of his Awesomeness.

    :D

  11. sachu says:

    @CLINT I AM YOUR PAPPI
    mate spot on
    i think he is going to become one of the best ever
    he was always commited even wen rumours of his exit was floating around
    and now he is the captain VIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    he is in my opinion one of fergies best ever signings

  12. Zelh says:

    There’s no official statement from Jones’ Agent. just a twitter-rumour that he confrimed.

  13. sachu says:

    lets make a 10 million bid for gerrard and maybe a 20pound bid for carragher
    so that they can end there carrer with medals
    thats definetely value for money

  14. Costas says:

    I am on board with Papii’s suggestion. We definitely need Steven Taylor. :D

  15. sachu says:

    @zelh
    mate apparently espn soccernet are also saying deal is done as perfomance related bonuses will be given
    and they are a good source as they broke the original story

  16. Zelh says:

    sachu – sounds good though. I hope we pay 16.5 and the rest is based on performance realted bonuses.

  17. sachu says:

    @zelh
    mate we may have to pay more to shut those chickenshits
    but i dont think we have to worry about money
    to buy the top talent you have to pay top money
    fergie is looking to improve the first team as well as the future
    de gea and young are first team players
    and jones and smaling are future with evans
    now i think fergie will look at our first team
    you have to remember we have lost some players and so have cleared a lot of wages
    so A BIG FISH could be coming
    we have lost scholes hargo neville wes oshea gibbo vds bebe and i am sure we will sell obertan and kuszack maybe berba as well i hope berba stays
    so thats quite alot of wages
    and i do believe we can pay the big wages for signigs like sneijder
    we have rooney on mre than 200000 aweek so we can do it

  18. Zelh says:

    sachu – If the buyout-clause is 16.5 and these chickenhead want more money we should stay adamant and give them fuck all. their player wants only to go to United and we pay the clause. that’s it.

    surely we could afford sneijder’s wages but should we? he’s on the verge of going into the twilight of his carreer and already reached his peak. Imo he doesn’t fit in our system.
    Modric is younger, knows the PL and plays in a more defensive role than sneijder.

    And I’m not sure about giggs. Imo it isn’t far-fetched that he could call it to an end in the summer cause of all the things going through the media. That could explain our massive interest in Sanchez cause I don’t believe that Fergie would sell Nani

  19. T4M says:

    VIDIC.why the hell will he go to juventus-the italian Liverpool?

  20. wayne says:

    most agents are lawyers so anytime a player moves or they become invovled in anyway more money,cunts are just pond scum.

  21. sachu says:

    @zelh
    great point about ryan giggs
    he could retire but mate just think nani valencia young and sanchez also park i thinks too much
    if sanchez arrives then somebody will leave
    mate i dont think spurs will sell luka this season we may have to wait ayear
    sneijder can play CM he ahs done it for holland
    while luka is good i have to say sneijder is probably among the top6 players in the world
    that will be a truly great signings and you are a bit harsh about him being in the twilight of his carreer
    he will be 27 in june well fat frank scored 20 goals wen he was 32
    withthe fitness levels today he can play at the top level for 5-6 years in myopinion
    zidane went to real wen he was 28-29 i think wat a fab signing
    sneijder is the only palyer in the world close to paul scholes
    also just look at inter mourinho won the treble but has left with a shit load of aging players
    and mourinho is a coach with no forward planning and fergie deinetely has
    so ainter need to rebuild and a big bid could lure them
    i hate to see nani go but if sir alex thinks thats better for us then thats the way forward

  22. Utsava Sharma says:

    Titus Bramble>Vidic

  23. Stenis says:

    How close was it REALLY that he would leave last summer? Seemed like alot of media garbage to me all along, but plenty of people were quite certain about it.

  24. RedLife says:

    27/28 is old for English players because they piss their career up the wall in night clubs till 3 in the morning. A player who looks after himself, liike Zidane etc.. can go for much longer. Look at Paul Scholes and Giggs for the proof.

  25. Ash says:

    @sachu
    Great point about sneijder.HE could become our legend but the point is he is a bit injury prone.And I think paying 30 odd millions for a 27 year old is a gamble.The english media is different from other countries.He would be under pressure all the time.Look at berba,shevchenko,Robinho and now torres.
    The media treat these guys as if they have done some kind of a sin.
    I would be happy if we use those 30 millions on a young player whose future is ahead of him.But like many I would love to see sneijder playing here but not at the expense of nani.

  26. United4eva says:

    This story illustrates why agents are a blight on the game. I can appreciate footballer’s needing advisers and intermediaries to handle their business e.g. contract negotiations, sponsorship deals etc but surely it should be a player approaching his agent and saying I want to leave rather than the agent approaching the player and saying what about going to X, Y or Z? I really don’t understand how players trust agents these days when they don’t have the players interests as their prime motive.

    Its like when Hernandez’s agent started flapping his gums about Real Madrid the day before the Champions League final. Clearly he’d been fencing Chico about, obviously without even talking to the lad cos the same day Chico was talking to the journo’s telling them how much he loved United and owed Sir Alex. Its crazy. Why can’t football agents just do what their clients ask them to do instead of trying to make their clients do what they think they should?

    Thank heavens Vida shot down the suggestion of a ‘hypothetical transfer’ the second it was made. A real captain that.

  27. sachu says:

    @ash
    i would hate to see nani leave as he has got that bit of magic about him and i think he will get even better next season and could sore 15-20goals
    robinho is talented but not commited
    sneijder had injuries last season but he played a lot he is certainly not as injury prone as torres or hargo
    but just remmeber that fergie said that when paulscholes retires we will have to stretch ourselves in the market so he could do it
    just look at zidane went to real wen he was 28-29 was a massive hit
    every big signing is a gamble
    just look at real
    theay signed 3 bigplayers
    ronaldo hit
    kaka miss unlucky with injuries
    benzema average

    barca
    ibra 40 million plus etoo massive flop
    villa 34 million good i would say
    so every now and then we have to make big signings
    and fergie has done it
    veron
    and berba
    as much as i love berbatov i have to say was he worth 30 million at 27 years of age
    same as sneijders age
    so fergie has done it and is certainly not afraid to spend big

  28. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    I love you Vidic.

    Hehe, sorry Berba.

  29. Rai says:

    Scott the red –

    It’s a shame that good people are now reluctant to post comments because of the amount of fuckin trolls that have been on the blog. Your blog has been the best because of interaction between people….a few people have addressed you asking if anything will be done regarding the moderating but unless I’m mistaken (which I might be) no one yet has had a reply…..is anything going to be done?

  30. scan74 says:

    top defender a great signing for us fucking agents just talking hypothetically vida fancy fucking off and earning me 10% there fucking poison in my eyes

  31. Passe says:

    Rai, Those people will be back. The withdrawal symptoms some of them are going to experience is surely beyond them. On another note, why not try the forum? It works just as well and no one will hijack any usernames there, that’s guarnateed. I do agree however that some moderation would make wonders for this blog.

  32. fergie is the boss says:

    sachu – the talk scneijder a bit injury prone is a bit of a myth, since his move to inter he has played 38 and 41 games in the past 2 seasons. I doubt inter took the cup compitions serious, so he has been playing for atleast 85% of games since his move to inter.

  33. Zibbie says:

    @ Scot the Red -Where o where has Cedars gone, where o where has he gone.

  34. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Passe and Rai, The best thing for Scott to do it would be to add OpenId (Google it) to his blog but even that doesn’t completely eradicate identity-theft. But the added level of authentication will at least tell us who is who even if they use the same names. Best option for Scott right now is that.

    As for the topic, reminds me of Jerry Maguire. If any film highlighted how thirsty for money agents are, then it was that one. Agents are the worst kind of parasites remaining in the world of sport today. Don’t believe me, ask Kia Joorbachian or Paul Stretford. These guys can single handedly make or break footballing careers.

    More level-headed people like Vidic and Ferdinand will not let them influence their decisions while people like Rooney will allow that causing more trouble that it is worth. Of course, rare gems like Scholesy will not have agents at all, but that is a different topic.

    Anyways, good to know that Vida is committed. He is the bedrock upon which our foundation is built and I can see him being one of our all time great leaders if he continues till he calls his time.

  35. Louis says:

    Players need agents like a fish needs a bike. Hate the geezers. “I talked to him about a hypothetical transfer” What the hell?

  36. Costas says:

    I hope Vida responded with a hypothetical fist to the mouth.

  37. Not convinced says:

    great link of the clubs greatest captain, and best mid of his era.. keano!

    hilarious link below

  38. MUFC-STRONG says:

    Great defender, dont know where we’d be without him.

    OFF TOPIC… Ronaldo to City?? WTF!?!?

  39. Fred says:

    Ronaldo has signed for City? :(

  40. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    In other news, I would love it if this comes true although I highly doubt it.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2002578/Kolo-Toure-handed-year-ban-failed-drugs-test.html

    I would just love to see the look or Bernstein’s face. It would be like he was fucked from behind.

  41. Zibbie says:

    Fred if that would happen the same guy’s who showed up at Rooney’s house that night, would camp out at CR7′s place and beat him to death the first chance they had. That would be my guess.

  42. MG says:

    Where is MG’s Eleven and counting?

    This is no good – in the middle of inception without the players who play this ROM is not fun at all

  46. Whiteside says:

    It’s one of those that I won’t believe til I him see him in the sky shitty blue, and that would hurt – but you know what, we’d still beat the fuckers.

  47. sachu says:

    ronaldo has a buyoutclause close to 1 billion pounds
    i dont think the shiekhs pockets are that deep

  48. Zelh says:

    Ronaldo hasn’t signed for city. I think he was taking the piss when he said that he wants 400k a week, No. 7 shirt, captain armband and he has to be the best player in the team. :lol:
    If there’s any truth innit.

  49. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Cedars Come Back….Guest Appearance Please

  50. The Fly says:

    Ronny was clearly taking the piss. £400,000 a week dome a favour.

    Now just waiting for the England vs Spain U-21 match. See Smalling, Jones, Cleverley and De Gea in action. Is Welbeck with them too?

  53. sachu says:

    @ZIBBIE
    wat if they sign both messi and ronaldo and they both break there legs

  54. Lloyd™ says:

    i think Cedars is the only one with ID problem,the rest of them just stoped posting because Cedars stoped.
    Instead of come together and look for a lasting solution,they just followed Cedars off.

    fucking groupies.

  55. aimanunited says:

    Ronny want to return to united but knows sir alex will not spend loadshit of money so he’s planning this scheme and do a ‘robinho’ at Shitty. He will sign 2 year contract with £400,000, become captain but will play like shit, scoring own goals or faking injuries all seasons. Then when his contract has one year left or near expiring, he’ll use the money he earn from them to buy his own contract and then move to united for free. This way everybody will be happy and Shitty will be doomed. That’s just how much Ronny loves Manchester United… :)

    Cedars and the rest will be back. The trolls will fuck off. Life works in circles.

  60. MG says:

    Lloyd tm

    Fuck off – they make this ROM what it is – what the fuck do you do stand in waiting to insult when they are insulted beyond belief?

    Groupie my fucking ass – fuck you

  61. Zibbie says:

    Fuck off Lloyd !!!!!!

  62. wayne says:

    @Lloyd i’m confused,’the rest of them stopped posting’ please enlighten us on who ‘the rest’ are please didn’t realise cedars had groupies.

  63. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Whats all this about Cedars he hasnt pissed off, he was here yesterday or the day before sure of it. Dont worry hes probably busy, or like me just fucking bored without the football. It seems weve been busy in the transfer market but for some reason there is little or no confirmation from the club so maybe its a new media tactic and we havent even tried to sign anyone. Problem is the world is bullshit, its made up of 6 billion bullshit boring shit stabbing individuals and it doesnt take much to just get bored of it all and take a break. What this has to do with Cedars I havent got a clue and none of you asked my opinion anyway, so go fuck yourselves, yeah you heard me, your mum teeths peanuts out my poop. Your fathers are circle jerkers of the highest order and have eaten so many soggy biscuits that they have done irrebrable damage to the gene pool that teeth will be obsolute in the future and even digestive will be made with a dent in them to hold more harry munk. I see stars, is that normal. I feel bloated but I havent eaten shit, like your mum, my heart is racing, I have a head ache, I feel fatigued and your mum is fat.

    Anyway goat can report that fuck all happened in the world today and if it wasnt for a few cheesed off tosser throwing fucking stones at tanks in some part of the fucking world then the papers would only have ficticious bullshit about United to right about. Thank god for muzzahs eh! I’d much rather hear about a market being blown to fucking pieces by a suicidal ford pickup than read about Carlton Palmer coming out of retirement to take over from Fergie after changing his religion to Jewboys and getting a golden shower hand shake from the Glazers. Im of the belief that the Glazers invaded Iraq and not America. Ive asked like 5 yanks if they were in Iraq and they said “No, Im here with you you daft prick”, thus proving without a shaddow of a doubt that Americans arent in these places, its just some trouble makers in Darth Vader costumes again. The yanks are in A&E removing hubcabs from their arseholes. It is surprising how easy they are to insert but a right pain in the arse to pull out. Oh well, I think I need a beer.
    Back in two, toodaloo

  64. King Eric says:

    Lloyd. Fuck off you cunt. Most of those lads have been posting for years. Fine if you want some of the knowledgable ones off and replaced by fucking idiots. Enjoy it pal. Fucking groupies? Grow up.

  65. Costas says:

    Groupies ftw!

  66. Costas says:

    By the way, over the last few days, I’ve noticed quite a few posts from “longtime ROM readers that don’t post here”, complaining that there’s some sort of clique that gangs up on people that doesn’t agree with them.

    Ignoring the utter shittiness of the claim itself, it wouldn’t surprise me if those were posted by the same person that was obviously embarassed by said “clique” in the past. The id situation really has to be solved. Otherwise the situation will get even messier.

  67. Whiteside says:

    Nice one Goat! Circle jerkers – i’m stealing that lol.

  68. King Eric says:

    Goat. Ha. You fucking nutter mate.

  69. Whiteside says:

    One another note – cos I am so fucking bored – tennis blown off by the rain, now the F1 are just trolling round behind the safety car, I don’t suppose there’s any chance my office job will be postponed due to rain is there?

  70. Whiteside says:

    Wish I had some grade A mary joanna – roll on next weekend!

  71. MG says:

    I’ve got one

    All love making and issues to do with love postponed until rain stops and starts play again.

    :lol:

  72. Costas says:

    It started raining over here too. It’s Berba’s fault. :)

  73. Whiteside says:

    Lol Button and Hamilton have gone a bit David Batty and Graeme Le Saux.

  74. MG says:

    No Costas

    It’s also Gibson OShea and Bebes fault

    :lol:

    And they won’t even be at OT soon so that’s when the fun will start when new players will have to take over to share the blame when we don’t make it in games ;)

  75. wayne says:

    well in calgary its sunny and 18c so a very nice day,going to meet some mates for brunch,have a few pints and bet some horses,you lads have a nice day.

  76. MG says:

    Blame Sneijder De Rossi Modric Nasri

    :lol:

  77. MG says:

    Lucky wayne – going to have brunch ;)

    I haven’t even had lunch yet and it’s evening :D

  78. slim says:

    @Whiteside

    went out into the rain for some A+ gear, happy as bunny sipping tea to go along with it

  79. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Im so boooooooooooooooooooooooored. Im 36 years old, I have no hobbies except shit I cant be arsed to do. If they are indeed hobbies rather than mundane fucking chores that I pretend to myself are fucking hobbies because I dont want to admit to the fact that I have been demasculineized and that I am not happy with the fact I only have one wife and my fucking kid is a moron. Ooooh if only the inlaws would come over so I could dress up nice to drink coffee and eat a few nibbles and sit on our fucking expensive entertainable couch that junior just cant help but shit behind. Oh what a fucking life. All these retarded fucking superstars with millions upon millions of fucking pounds that fuck about all day on twitter and talk about survivor and come dancing and dress making extreme or other rancid gay promoting tv shows. These fucking footballers and stars are cunts of the highest order. If I had a million I would be doing shit. I would for instance.
    1. Pay off a large court fine for doing no2
    2. I would steel 20 odd cows from a farm by hurding them into the back of a large van. Id drive them to London where Id cause a huge fuss outside the london eye dragging all the tourists away from it by telling them that Beckham and Rooney are around the corner having a kick about for a tv add or something. Then Id chloroform the london eye driver and take control. Id load each car with a cow and feed it industrial strength LSD before moving onto the next cow and car. Id then start letting of fireworks to scare and intimidate the cows whilst running around just wearing a potato sack telling everyone that Im worzel gummages evil brother and I rape sheep and chickens.
    3. After spending weeks in a lunatic assylum Id probably go on a bender and drink a lake and pissing it into milk bottles untill ive lined up the entire score for the ring by richard Wagner and play it, a bit mute like because I dont want to be a bother with a stick fashioned with a marble stuffed up my japs eye.
    Thats just for starters.

    But what do we hear about our celebs today, feeding fucking hungry babies and starting a record label for wasters. fucking what a waste

  80. Costas says:

    @MG

    Damn right. Well Carrick will still be around so he will be the prime candidate when we need a scapegoat. After him, it will probably be Cleverley if he is not putting in Xavi like performances each week…

  81. Whiteside says:

    You might have some A+ shit slim but i think i’ll have what Goat’s having! O-:

  82. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Gotta Love Goat – Greatest Of All Time ? ;)

    @Lloyd

    Fuck off You trademark Cunt – Cedars is the only one who isn’t commenting today, Name those Who have “followed”.

    Groupies ?- Suck on Unwashed Balls You Lonely Bitch, what? You want some attention You Cyber Hooker. You should change your name to Dick™, Your probably used to it as you part of the Groupie Following The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.

  83. MG says:

    Costas you mean Xavi and Iniesta put together?

    ;)

  84. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Lads, According to Faggots here

    Johnny Evans is probably to blame for Cedars’s Absence from RoM :lol:

    Blame Nani for The Rain Aswell.

    Blame Carrick for the F1 Delays because he visited a F1 car recently.

    Blame Berbatov for The Queens Tennis Final being Cancelled because him & Jo Wilfred Tsonga had a night on the Pull last night & Tsonga Phoned up to reschedule the Tournament Final.

  85. slim says:

    @Whiteside

    haha i learnt a long time not to mess with Goat. top of the line stuff :-)

  86. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Bit strange, thought I posted about Carrick being class earlier but the post is absent?? Strangeness abounds! Anyway, hope he will be around next year as he plays a role in front of defense and can be counted on for about 5-10 crucial assists per year. Figure we could always use some quality in mid and would like to see more creativity in attack. Really do hope there is a plan to bring through some of the current class of 2011.

    Costas, MG, KE, CD, GIAUS, Zib, wayne, and all the lads who are on here doing battle with the void.
    Hang in there mates. Proud of ya lads for showing the colors. This too will pass. And we will be talking about going for 20:4. You lads know what I mean. For all the trolls, it is in the bible, yes it is, chapter and verse.

    In the mean time, United to win the league !

  87. slim says:

    damn Lloyd, you got it bad

  88. Lloyd™ says:

    @MG @King Eric & @Zibbie

    yall so quick to throw insults around,i got dirty mouth too,but i’m not gonna mess up this thread with that.

    Yall shouldn’t misunderstand me here,i’m not saying they shouldn’t come back,to be honest i do enjoy some of their post sometimes,but yesterday i was very disappointed in some of his pals on here.
    just because Caders said he wont post anymore unless Scott do sonething about the impersonator (which i understand),but then one of his close pal on here (not gonna name him) said he wont comment either untill Caders starts to post again(which i think is why the rest of his pals are not commenting too).

    Maybe the groupie thing is a little out of line,i apologise to the people i addressed with the term.

    I hate to disapoint but whatever Im on you cant handle. I dont take drugs even though it sounds like I do. Im bi polar with a bit of ADHD, on whatever else thrown in. Im always like this.

I am fun but can be very over powering and generally Im liked for short periods of time and then people just move home and change their phones without telling me. I just have me, my family who never have a dull day. Alchohol and complete freedom to do as I please. It seems I have a bit of the genious about me and my wife is dissillusioned to the idea that sometime I will make a bucket full of cash because there must be a time and place to market such a chap as myself. I like to go on alcohol binges and food binges. I make myself sick by eating on purpose very poorly – marmite pasta, sugared cucumbers and excessive ammounts of beetroot to see what happens. A marmite milkshake was a favourite of mine as was an experiment to eat through the eyes. Im not mad or anything like that its just Im bored and I like being different. Im not openly different like some turnips who walk round in top hats exclaiming to be the reincarnate of oscar fucking wilde but more the ordinary bloke who you may see walking down the street who doesnt really arose your suspicion but goes about his day like anyone else only to go home and when the wifes out smeer himself in icecream and jam and then bake it hard in the garden in the midday sun and then drive to a sports field running about claiming to have been bombed by the americans with flakes falling off my body. I love the expression on doogooders faces when a panic situation arises. Cheers me right up.
    Well thats my bio whats yours.

    @MG

    Oh yeah. At least. If he doesn’t, fans will Gibson him in a couple of years. He will have to close his twitter account as well. ;)

    @Fletch

    Cheers mate. Maybe some are having a hard time dealing with the lack of football. Who knows? Can’t wait for the new season to begin and the blog to go back to normal. Boredom has a way of bringing out the most idiotic comments out of some people.

  91. MG says:

    Lloyd

    You have no idea how Cedars smartalex willierednut see the club

    It’s not their fault that they had their identities stolen and then for whoever the fuck went on to impersonate them did so like gutless trash –

    This is a problem I’m sure STR will find a way to sort it out – seriously part of this blog is about the relationships fans can make with one another – no one is to blame apart from those that are hell bent on destroying the good work done by honest fans – and for that reason alone you should either stick with everyone or not at all – I am part of that so called groupie – the so called Manchester United fan that lives and breathes United – but it belongs to all of us and when so called United fans are making a mockery of that well they are not United fans at all and that is the end of that

    And if anyone dislikes that then they can fuck off – we ask other fans to be better and more civil – what some fans did yesterday whilst I wasn’t here was disgusting and immoral and in effect they simultaneously bitch slap the very club down that they are pretending to protect.

    That is a fucking disgrace and some fans who believe they are representing their club ought to fuck off and support another team that indulges in their sick fantasy – shame I wasn’t about yesterday – I would have ripped into them.

  92. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    As Ive said before but like all things i think of doing i need a bit of encouragement. Im thinking of starting up a website featuring my head and what goes on there in. I thought I would do the news according to me with a seriously warped twist – as your aware. I thought I d also do GOAT TV where id have a spy camera on and go about my usual day and show people what shit i get up to.
    Is that of interest or am i just a fucking nutter that people just decide to be nice to so as not to have to bother with me.

    @Costas, Cheers for that mate.

    @Clint-IamYourPapii Top post.

    See ROM starting 11 has gone into the early minutes of the summer of 2011 absorbing a bit of preassure. No problem lads, with SAF as our guide we have little to fear. Mark my works, we’ll have em by the short and curlys with a fast counter and then continued and sustained pressure. 20:4 mates,
    over and out!

  99. Vida's Blood Clot says:

    STR has better things to do than watch over a bunch of us throwing sissy fits. He didn’t intend for it to come down to this. Part of why this site is great is because everyone gets to voice an opinion. Don’t like it, then just scroll down. The worst thing for any blog to do is to stifle opinion. How’d you feel if you didn’t agree with scott (it has happened) and he blocked you off?

    Maybe he’ll sort out the Cedars case (and it would be for everyone’s good) and we’ll all be one big happy family again. GGMU

  100. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Cedars, Willie and smartalex are probably shooting a threesome somewhere directed by Goat.

    I am sure of it which is why they haven’t been able to post for the day so far.

    My dear Watson and Holmes, assistance is required.

  101. Lloyd™ says:

    Lioyd I got MG’S back. Simple as that. Like a Green street bully. Has anyone ever had yours? Have you ever had someone else’s?

    Don’t worry ROM, Holmes and Watson are at it again. :lol:

    Links Here: http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=119695&part=sports

    Just check http://www.myp2p.eu for streams to any running match in any sport and you will find links.

    I personally use Sopcast because you get the best quality without the usual buffering shit that accompanies embedded flash players. The only negative being there are not a lot of good English streams and there is a slight delay between the actual live telecast and what you receive on Sopcast.

    But the quality is worth it lads, trust me.

  112. Zibbie says:

    Tony someone was posing as Cedars picking fights with others, it went on for hours. Cedars ask scot to get to the bottom of it and help him or he would quit posting here. Some might have stopped in support of Cedars cause. A bad thing all around.

  113. Zibbie says:

    @Balaji Sivaraman hello again one of RoM’s best.
    @TonyBee then Lloyd made some smart ass comment about Cedars and MG and others including me bitch slapped him back.

  114. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Any football is better than no football IMO.

    Scouting for this game: David De Gea, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverley and Jordan Henderson (I really have to see whether he is worth 20 mil).

    Come on young reds.

  115. TonyBee says:

    Zibzter….Although I was not posting I was reading posts yesterday….. read what the lads had to say ….damn shame but they will be back ….. back like junkies…… they will need their RoM fix……

    hopefully sooner rather than later…..

    well seems lloyd has already admitted he is a DICK….WHO AM I TO ARGUE…..

    what was the deal on ROM yesterday, posted a couple but didn’t really take notice. Sounds like it was rough

  122. Zappa says:

    Read ROM daily and usually enjoy or at least consider what most people put (excluding of course the sad people from other sites on here cause they have nothing to talk about on their own) and it occurs to me that there should be some admin intervention or means by which true fans can discuss or even argue about topics which we all care about. I think I’m talking for the vast majority on here when I say that Scott does a great job with this site and it would be a shame if fans (and I really am picking a small but diverse list here) such as MG, Raj, GTHTT, King Eric, Balaji Costas, Willierednut, Cedars and Goat (another pint of what you’re having, please!) started drifting off due to outside or inside influences that could be mitigated. Sorry about being a bit of a bore but this is one great site and we need AlLL the great characters (minus the hitherto mentioned) Cheers lads – Bring on number 20!!!!!!!

    @Balaji cool a full scouting report on all that is Red. No shit I’m looking forward to your accurate concise and knowledgeable insight.

  125. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Zib, Cheers mate. Yeah, I totally agree with you in that sense as to what you were getting at my friend. My apologies for not replying on that thread, got caught up with some stuff.

    BTW guys, I know it is too soon but, at a glance, this kid De Gea looks really comfortable with the ball at his feet like you know who.

  126. Zibbie says:

    @Zappa spot on man.

  131. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @TonyBee, If you (or any others) are watching, I didn’t get a clear look at the replay but looked like Cleverley at the post could’ve stopped that from going in.

  132. TonyBee says:

    god i’m bored

  133. TonyBee says:

    seemed like a bit of a hesitation but the ball got sneaked in past him certainly

    A few people, including myself, have requested additional moderation in these threads. To my knowledge they haven’t been replied to. Now we’re getting asked to vote for “Caught Offside” awards. I love this blog and Scott does a great job. But I won’t be taking out time to vote if STR can’t take time to look or respond to what his readers have requested. Having 100′s of comments per thread is meaningless if a lot of those are bullshit.

  139. Dicko says:

    If anyone wants to find out why England won’t win any silverware for at least the next decade go and tune into the England v Spain U21′s (streams in usual places). Like watching Barca United from the other week. Small agile players completely at ease with the ball and themselves versus muscled, lumbering hoof it merchants. The Spanish are diving cunts, though – Welbeck booked for a perfectly normal challenge that provoked crybaby hissy fit from the Spaniards…..

    Hope England improve second half. Oh – having said that United > England every time obviously but there’s nowt else on!

  140. TonyBee says:

    zelh …rumours from where?

  141. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

  146. Lloyd™ says:

    @Zibbie

    i’m not here to pick a fight with you,you don’t even know me in real life,you asked if anyone ever had my back?,no need to answer that since you don’t know me personally.
    I’ve been a regular reader in this site for long now,but only just started commenting only two days ago,so i don’t expect anyone to have my back,i dont need it anyway.
    I agree i went a lil out of line with my earlier comment,but i apologised,and that should be it.

    I must say i’m a little disappointed in you,i used to think you’re one of the cool people on this site.

  147. Zelh says:

    TonyBee – only twitter so far. but the same guy was right about Jones to United while everyone was seeing him at Liverpoo. And lot’s of other were reporting the same.

  148. RedManWalking says:

    @ Anyone watching the U-21 European Championships, in England’s last move, was it Cleverly that was running down the wing? I am seeing a very low quality stream. I couldnt understand who it was. And De Gea looks good, doesnt he?

  149. sachu says:

    de gea world class as i have said before hope he stays for two decades
    any body knows who is walker which club

  150. sachu says:

    @redmanwalking
    it was walker
    who the fuck is he
    by the way de gea and mata look good

  151. Passe says:

    Walker was at Aston Villa on loan, but I think he is from spurs.

  152. man_utd_19 says:

    @ sachu

    Kyle Walker – Spurs

    Fantastic save by De Gea there!

  153. RedManWalking says:

    By the way, is this match being aired in India? Then I dont need to watch it in this piss poor stream!

  154. RedManWalking says:

    Oh damn! that move was pretty good. I thought it might be Cleverley because of the trickery. The plus point is De Gea looks really good. Very alert! That last save was very Van Der Sar-esque :D

  155. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Watching the spain england match and i think Dicko is relatively close to the call by saying its small little tricky diving dagos versus 11 stig of the dumps. However I wont go as far as saying theres no hope. When it comes down to the general play the only difference is the percentage finnishing. The dagos could get 3 shots on goal and put 2 away. We could get 5 and not hit the target. The dagos goal was from a set piece that could have gone in or not, the kicking the ball round deep midfield by them rosey up the passing stats and possession a bit. Its not too bad but like the United game could look like a drubbing afterwards.

  156. orez says:

    Man I am honestly not happy with trasfere reports for now. Jones and Young in my opinion overrated and overpriced. I trust SAF but why defender when we already have at least 4 great ones. Same with Young. Bargeb basement buys IMHO.

  157. Utd4life says:

    @Dicko..Gotta agree with your assessment..Only Smalling, Jones and De Gea have looked good so far..Welbeck and Cleverly have been fairly quiet..

    @RedManWalking..Mate, it wasn’t Cleverly who made that move down the wing..

  158. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Smallings, jones,walker,rose & maybe henderson look quite good….the rest are kinda puting in anonymous performances.

    Summed up in one line, LOL!

    Zib, in the other thread, you said the world always changes. Today, we learnt a valuable lesson, “Somethings never change”. No matter what, U-21,U-51,U-91, Club, Country. Doesn’t matter.

    Possession: Spain – 65% – 35% England

    Also, England managers will never stop tinkering with their players’ best positions. Another one of those things. More on this below.

    That really hits home when Sir Alex says that it is a clash of footballing philosophies. I am afraid there is nothing much we can do about it.

    Chris Smalling – I definitely gotta say that this lad looks ahead of the curve in the England team. If it were not for him, Spain would’ve had a few more clear goalscoring opportunities. It doesn’t matter how many times we say this but it is true – Chris Smalling is the future Rio Ferdinand. Everything that is good about Rio – The way he always seems to be in the right place at the right time, the way he always seems to have a little bit more time on the ball than most defenders, the way he reads the game like a book – Everything. Smalling ticks all the right boxes. Eg: Perfect through ball which I though he had no hope of catching up to, but he did and cleared it. He really does look like a steal at 7 mil.

    Phil Jones – Not much happening on his side of the pitch I’m afraid. He has made a few good headers here and there but much of the attack is coming through Smalling’s side.

    David De Gea – Right from the physical appearence, this kid reminds me of Edwin Van Der Sar. I know that could be due to the fact that the Big Dutchman has just retired and this guy is poised to take over, but he just exudes the same amount of confidence which is huge for someone his age.

    He hasn’t really been tested much but one late shot from Sturridge reminded me of what FletchTheMan used to say often – Manuel Neuer is not good when he is forced to go down and I’ve seen this many times ever since. De Gea does not look to have any such problems. He is so lean and slim which makes him really agile. Again, I hate to bring this up but does remind me of you-know-who. As I said before, he also looks really comfortable with the ball at his feet but he hasn’t been tested to make any real opinion for ourselves.

    Danny Welbeck – Not really in the game but I feel he is being wasted down the center. He has tremendous dribbling and close control that he should be used as a wide-man IMO. Here’s hoping he does better in the second half. Really unnecessary yellow card for him. He won the ball cleanly. As I said, some things never change.

    Tom Cleverley – Another one of those players who hasn’t gotten into the game really. I thought his best position was in the middle of the park though. However, has put in some decent crosses here and there.

  159. RedManWalking says:

    seems the spain goal was a handball

  160. sachu says:

    hendersons passing is better than mine

  161. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @RedManWalking, Looked like it but couldn’t really tell with 100% confirmation. From a glance, my initial thought was hand ball but replays showed more head than ball though.

  162. RedManWalking says:

    Did you guys see Smalling taking on the Spanish players himself :P

  163. RedManWalking says:

    I am pretty happy with De Gea (if he is our new Keeper). Was looking forward to seeing Cleverley play ever since he said he wanted to take in Scholes’ role. Smalling looks real good – like a young Ferdinand as many before me have mentioned.

  164. sachu says:

    smalling is the best out there

  165. Zibbie says:

    Thanks guy’s.

  166. MG says:

    My dearest Watson

    I have concluded that tm is obviously tm for tm wouldn’t you agree?

    :lol:

  167. Costas says:

    @Zappa

    Cheers for that. Truth be told, Scott has helped out everytime one of these imposters has struck. I remember asking him to help when it happened to me and he deleted the posts of the faker instantly. I’d never leave ROM over something like this or because some have no better job than coming here and talking shit. But it has to be sorted somehow. Maybe once the next season begins, STR will update the format of the blog a bit. This is still the best United blog IMO and respectful opinions are respected.

  168. Zibbie says:

    Who’s playing for Rodwell?

  169. sachu says:

    jesus its an awful game

  170. Zibbie says:

    Go Scot and thanks for all your hard work.

  171. Dre.FU= Forever United says:

    Smalling is one of the best young centre backs in the u21 sides over europe, he has seriously impressed me today, its obvious that he’s developing his game by playing along side Vidic and Ferdy, an their experience is rubbing off on him, he is throwing himself at everything not pulling out of tackles and bombing forward.

    Smalling is class.

  172. RedManWalking says:

    woah! the spanish can fly! :P

  173. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    MG – May I suggest, TM stands for either Trained Monkey or Tubby Man ?

    Thanks Balaji :P – Are you sure your not Balaji Rao – Owner of Venky’s FC ;)

    Anyone see De Gea’s Handball….Sturrige took a shot…instinct save made by De Gea – It is Illegal to be That good :lol:

    Therefore I deem it a Handball :P

  174. Costas says:

    So out of curiosity, if Jones costs 20 million, how much would Smalling cost today? ;)

  175. sachu says:

    @costas
    minimum 50 million if henderson is 20 then ia m 1 billion

  176. aimanunited says:

    Mata looks good as a CM playmaker…
    I’m sure his price will rise after this tournament.

  177. sachu says:

    great pass from cleverley

  178. sachu says:

    martin tyler talking up thiago from barcelona

  179. Colbert says:

    Smalling is doing us proud. He’s already above this level. Just a shame the rest of the England players are not at his level.

  180. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Papii, LOL! I wished I were mate just for the money. Not anymore. No one can be as dumb as they have proven to be over the past week. ;)

    @Costas, If Scott does plan an overhaul of sorts, now would be the best time to do it given it is off-season and news is tight. Once pre-season starts, he will be pressed for time I feel. My personal opinion with blogs is that identity theft cannot be prevented, but it can be controlled using stuff like OpenID which I’ve already mentioned.

    Also, one thing that always saddens me when people mention ROM regulars is that they leave out a few big names – My personal favorites are Denton Davey, StatesideAussie and Doghouse. Their posts are always some I look forward to. I don’t always (probably never) agree with their but they are possibly the most eloquent posters on ROM. They are not noticed by non-regulars that much because they don’t take part in all the banter that other regulars do.

  181. Fred says:

    @aimanunited – I hope so, as it’s the Scouse bastards who are after him. Class player, have thought so for a couple of years now.

  182. Dicko says:

    @sachu

    Tyler is talking up Alcantara because he’s an Arsenal fan – he thinks he’s headed for Arsenal

    Yes, the spicks are diving whining little cunts but I think it’s fair to say they have hit upon a footballing methodology and a generation of players who maybe only Brazil and the Argies can challenge for the time being. Watching us spend 5 minutes chasing the ball down only to win it and give it away with the FIRST pass (having witnessed 40 consecutive Spanish passes) sort of sums it up. Football coaching at youth level in England needs a radical overhaul.

  183. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Soooooo Coooollllllll…… Danny Boy, OOOOOH Boy! 1-1

  184. Dicko says:

    Having said that – Welbeck!!!! Get in!!!!

  185. sachu says:

    welbeck scores past de gea
    smalling looks LEGEND also walker is good

  186. oneloveoneunited says:

    Nice finish by Danny Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  187. Utd4life says:

    Welbeck scores but I’m sure he was offside..Nonetheless well done Danny boy..

  188. RedManWalking says:

    Nice pass from smalling to walker too!

  189. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Utd4life, I thought that the last defender was a bit too late to step up. Have to see the replay once more but I felt it was onside. Cool finish though.

    This kid Kyle Walker on the right hand side is also doing some really good stuff though. He seems like raw pace only but has put a lot of good crosses in. Definitely better than Walcott looked at that age.

  190. Dicko says:

    ….exactly like at OT, i’m usually chewing the ear off the woman in the seat at the side of me about how shit Park/Carrick/Anderson are and then they go and score…

    Maybe I should moan some more!

  191. Lloyd™ says:

    yay 1-1 Danny Welbeck.

  192. Dre.FU= Forever United says:

    Welbeck you fucking STAR!!!

    @Fred, if de gea really coming to united then it’ll be easier to go for mata but i don’t think he’s one of the candidates. Mark my word he’s going to be as good as Xavi and Iniesta in the future.
    Anyway, Smalling looks ready to take Rio’s spot next season. He’s the man of the match for me.
    Surprise that people talks so little of Smalling though…(unintended pun)

  194. Utd4life says:

    Walker looks good..He’s got pace, good ball control and puts in decent crosses..Now he maybe worth 20 mil because of the england thing but Henderson cant be so much..He was non existent for a large part of the game..

    Haha, I usually don’t give a shit about England but I loved this result. I’m so tired of the Barca style. Yeah, they are incredibly skillful and it’s nice to look at when it works, but the endless short passes bores the tits of me. Like someone on the Guardian website said; “I’d rather watch two teams hammering at each other at pace than see them dink 10 yard passes backwards 80% of the time.”

    Have anyone noticed the way Javi Martinez played? IMO, he looks good to be in our midfield.

    What do you think?

    @Colbert

    spot on.

  198. Costas says:

    Well done Danny. :)

    @Balaji

    Or probably because people are too lazy to read those guys’ long posts. :lol: But yeah, I like their comments too. It’s hard to remember everyone. That’s why I never go through the trouble of naming my favorites.

    I get your point about this being a better period for changes to be made to the blog, but I feel that Scott might want to catch a breather around this period too. We will see.

    @Colbert, It’s a matter of preference mate. I will take the goal United scored against Arsenal in the League or CL semi-final in 2009 or the great goal Scholesy scored against Panathanaikos in 2000. My personal preference is for that kind of football whereas the Europeans tend to gravitate towards and jerk-off to the more tippy-tappy Barcelona or Spanish style.

    I’d rather watch Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur than Barcelona vs Real Madrid like the Guardian author.

    Smalling was a rock at the back. Phil Jones wasn’t bad. A bit disappointed by Cleverley in the first half cos he barely got a touch of the ball, but he improved in the second half and orchestrated some good moves. Welbeck – what a finish, coolly done!

    De Gea didn’t have much to do but pulled off a great save in the first half and could do little about Welbeck’s goal. I was also impressed by Javi Martinez and Mata.

  201. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Speaking of that Scholes goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjnQad_ulgQ

    One of the best thoughts to have in your mind as you hit the sack.

  202. Costas says:

    As a Panathinaikos hater, I had one more reason to enjoy that goal. :)

  203. Colbert says:

    Yes, that was some goal :D

  204. Rai says:

    Bilaji, Costas, Colbert – a brilliant fuckin goal guys. Takes a very special player to pull that off….my all time favourite chip though is Erics VS Sheffield United in the FA Cup. The Sunderland one gets more coverage but the one VS S.United was more difficult…the keeper wasn’t even off the six yard line!!

    well has long has a top class CM is brought in I will be happy

  206. Zelh says:

    twitter rumour that we sign Sanchez and swap Nani+cash for Wesley. Sounds BS to me.

  207. fergie is the boss says:

    Zelh – that is why I call twitter twatter

  208. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Rai – Bilaji :lol:

  209. fergie is the boss says:

    But looking through twatter, the latest rumor is fergie has peronally told sanchez 2 move 2 united, thats the mail rumor. So there maybe hope united do want sanchez, but why have youg. If sanchez is signed is nani’s future in doubt
