When we come to the time of finding some one when Sir Alex leaves I would hope we get a United player….some one we cares about the history of the club and what it means. Some one who would have the same never say die attitude, and some one who will know that no one or nothing is bigger than United.
I would hope we have Giggs putting his hand up, he along with Cantona and Ole will have the above attitude.
However I hope when Sir Alex’s time is over as manager he knows it and does not drag on just like that, their is a thing in sports about legends not knowing when to stop(hope its not soon though!)

That is true about Henry the amount of quick free kicks he took was astonishingly high no other club even came close to taking quick free kicks. Regarding United I can only remember one vs Lille and that had the opposition walking off the pitch in protest!.

I don’t get quick free-kicks.

Why do referees often step away quickly as if they’re a part of the move, or sometimes stand stationary next to the ball? They’re deceptive actions that immediately hand an unfair advantage to the taker.

Referees think they’re smartasses by allowing it. Look at ‘henry quick freekick’ on YouTube. I think it’s Clattenburg who is nodding enthusiastically at Henry. It’s crap, as the majority of the time the referees are so pedantic about free-kicks, often making sure the setup is perfect before allowing them.

A great read. Lights up my day

About Henry, well i’m not really sure who i hate the most, but Henry’s got to be one of them. His finger-to-the-lips celebration is the celebration i hate the most. And i think he is the starter of a trend where direct free-kicks are quickly taken, resulting in stupid goals because GKs were not ready yet for the kick. Plus when he celebrated that stupid goals with that celebration. ARGGHH. Furthermore, the media kept on calling “what a clever player he is” for taking the freekicks quickly, instead of calling him a coward. And when Rooney took that quick cornerkick to Giggs (last season i think), which took everybody by suprise, even though by the book that cornerkick is perfectly legal, the media called us cheat. LOL. Blatant ABU act.

Tufty — Kiko played well against CSKA, he was way more involved than Owen and rarely gave the ball away.
