Dwight Yorke, who last week was reliving the memories of that night in the Nou Camp, is amazed that Carlos Tevez has chosen to leave Manchester United for Manchester City as he approaches the peak of his career.
Clearly Robinho agrees.
“Things have changed,” said Yorke. “But I know when I was at the peak of my career there is no way I would have left the best team in the world. Manchester City are a big club. Yes, they have a lot of money now and you can see they are making an impact. But really there is no comparison. You want your name to be associated with a global giant. Manchester United is that club. There is nowhere else like it. And it is still that way. Everywhere I go, people acknowledge the fact I played for Manchester United. It affords you a privilege you would not get anywhere else.”

Wayne Rooney out of the Bolton game.thast really bad news.Berab could also miss the game.thats even worse
*berba*
on topic.what andy says is very logical but times have changed in the alst few years because more money is coming in the game.players play for money now infact many players play only for money getting salaries they dont deserve.
AIG, I agree, but it is easy to tell the ones who love their clubs and love football, Robinho didn’t know where he was from his first ever press conference in the UK! City will have a lot of this (players buying into the ‘Revolution’ and finding out the tradition etc is not there!) Bad news about Rooney, AIG I heard Berba is ok, what have you read? Lets hope Owen steps up and Welbs or Kiko get on?
Call up King and Eikrem both have been excellent in the reserves…..Fletcher is a doubt as well.
Stretford Ender
Berba became a father yesterday and has not yet returned back form Bulgaria so he is not certain of playing.cant blame him.guess owen will be alone or owen and macheda up front.
Stretford Ender what exactly do you mean by “tradition etc is not there”?
Rooney always plays as United on Fifa unless someone online gets to it first
but it seems Robinho sold himself to Barca so he can play with them on the game because he wants it to haappen in real life.
Us City fans (?!?) are supporting the richest team in the world but not one of our players want to play for the team its a stepping stone to get our face out there to other teams while making good money in the process
its an excellent plan if it wasnt for all that football getting in the way
Yeah I knew about the recchild, congratulations to Mr Berbatov, agree I don’t blame him, however I thought he was on his way back now. I agree, think Macheda deserves his chance, has looked great recently and has been taking chances. Although on this season’s displays, looks more likely Welbeck will be selected? I think Owen will play but we need some strength and height against a powerful Bolton defence.
Thanks AIG
@Stretford Ender
welcome mate.no need to thank me.i just heard the news and posted it .you are right about the strength and height so i hope Berba comes back in time.still think we will be too strong for them.
Morning
Well said Dwight, maybe the Judas would learn something from him. Class perhaps. As much as everyone at Citeh says there is harmony in the dressing room it certainly doesn’t look that way with the most expensive of the lot Robinho wanting out. Won’t even fight for his place the cunt. Expect others to follow this pattern.
Bad news about Rooney tomorrow but I am sure Berba will play. Cannot see Sir Alex giving him the day off if he ain’t injured, especially when we need him. Looking forward though to seeing him and Owen. I reckon they will pair up nicely. Will be good to get the three points and show people we CAN do it without Rooney.
I agree, and if I remember rightly, I was dancing round last year at a mates wedding when Berba scored late on at the Reebok against them? Will have to check! Especially after his hat trick mid week. Owen will gain confidence from a start, is it just me or is Kiko paying for these partying stories etc? I know SAF said he has been away with Italy too much, as with Welbs, but yeah we should be too strong, especially if Edwin is back, Giggs will play too, although if Rooney is missing in mid week- as reported, we need to think about that and the Dippers after?
aig – Hi mate. Who is andy in your first post? Andy Yorke or Dwight Cole?
king eric.
hi mate.actually i was reading an article by andy cole simultaneously so by mistake i made it andy yorke.incase you want to have a read
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1220713/Coach-Cole-eager-gatecrash-elite–leaving-Manchester-United-big-mistake-.html
I always liked Yorke when Cantona left many people felt that the end was nigh as a big fan of Cantona I was he stuggled in Europe to captivate the form he had in the Premiership, when Yorkey came to the club he gave us a new dimension and personally I think that was the difference in the treble season the way he dropped off and linked with Cole, Cantona and Cole never really got on.
Yeah,too bad,or good in this case for us,that Tevez the cunt didn’t know that.
Morning.
The bad news about Wayne is somewhat balanced out by the fantastic news about VDS playing tomorrow.
Bloody hell I posted this but put the wrong e-mail address in, knob head, I was always a fane of Yorkey when Cantona left many believed that the end was nigh and we were linked to Kluivert but he decided to go to Barca.
A great player Cantona was he struggled in Europe to captivate the from he enjoyed in the Premiership he also did not get on and gel with Cole, Yorkey came in dropped deep and added another dimension to our side and linked well with Cole, this for me was the difference in the treble winning season.
i am a big Wayne Rooney fan but i seriously am shocked that he ahs been included in the legends list already on our official website.i mean he ahs along career ahead of him and has to achieve many more things.think it is too early
http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={AE104A00-5D0E-4DDB-B4A2-B1D49273CC95}&teamid=1445&search=Type%20Keyword&page=3
the link is not getting posted.u can see it on page 3 of legends on teh official site.if there is ever a list of fools tevez will come out trumps
The legends list on the official website hardly means anything
We should go Berbatov-Owen, if Berbatov isn’t in the right frame of mind I think it should be Macheda-Owen considering we’ll need Kikos height against the Wanderers
Hargreaves back in 3 weeks! There is a commited player – unlike Tevez and the forgotten Judas Heinze!!!!!
I’m surprised Robinho didn’t fire his agent after probably thinking he was on the way to FC Abramovich then pushed onto City for more money. He’s probably thinking now that money can’t buy you pure class. He could be trapped at City because I read a wild story a while back that City would only sell Robinho to Barca if Messi went in the opposite direction. Which would NEVER happen.

redjoe10
Pele said that his agent told him manchester want to sign you and he said yes because he taught he was coming to united
pele also said it was a stupid move for Robinho to make
Robinho, thats wat it feels to be city, you shud ave joined a big club. Any1 listening to bow time yesterday, darren gough doesn’t rate messi the guys diffo crazy.
Watching the bosses press conference, fletch doubtfull for the bolton game. It cud be carrick ando midfield 2moz.
I find it surprising Tevez went to City.
At the end of the day money talks in football.
Who plays the most for England?
No Gerrard no Ladyboy for the Dippers, no chance.
and another tevez article
let me quote jim carrey :” obssesed much ? “
CROoney
for a manchester united blog site
do you not think that a former player of united talking about another former united player(?) leaving manchester united for local rivals manchester city should be wrote about??
a few people are getting obssesed with this idea that the rest of us are obssesed with tevez
check how much talk there has been on Cantona on this site
http://therepublikofmancunia.com/category/eric-cantona/
this site is only around 3 and a half years so should scott never have wrote about a former player because he wasnt playing for us in 2006-now
CRooney, if you don’t like it, don’t read it.
i know Stretford Ender mentioned this already, but Hargo back in 3 weeks possibly?! Absolutely superb.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/oct/16/owen-hargreaves-manchester-united-ferguson
Agree with King Eric, can’t see Berba not playing tomorrow. With his slick passing, I could see him sending Owen into space time and time again!
I say VDS, o’shea (maybe rafael?), vidic, rio, evra, anderson, carrick, nani, valencia, owen, and berba.
What is so hard to understand about Scott posting articles about past players? If they mention United, or they are asked a question about United, it is a United-related article. This is a United-related blog. Plain and simple.
if the berbatov owen partnership clicks because we all with brains can see what berbatov can do and everyone who’s seen him play knows what owen can do as a poucher then you could see a cole yorke partnership happen so we would be a team who wouldnt even miss Rooney butr still fucking have Rooney
it made me my mouth juice drip on my keypad
its so good
oh no theres no fletcher
we’ll have to play carrick or anderson or scholes or gibson with obertan on the bench maybe and we have Hargo back in time for chelsea or giggs can play in a cm role thou that means he wont be down the left we’ll have to play nani or valencia or park or maybe even fabio as ive seen him do it in the reserves but that just leaves evra getting a starting place if that happens
and Va Der Sar is back

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2686042/ALEX-FERGUSON-hailed-Ben-Foster-as-Englands-No1-then-axed-him.html
long live ben
Foster the best in England it just doesn’t make the grade at united
GHTT, I agree personally I think he is a decent keeper but United are too big for him, he will forge a decent career out for himself but most likely away from OT, but he is a great lad.
nah benny will be our number 1 soon, give the boy a chance, rios made about as many as mistakes and cost us and england goals but aint seen no1 say sell him or drop him
Yorke is right then is no club like United.Manchester United is the greatest club on the world and possibly on the galaxy! great to hear that hargo will be back in time for chelski. for me he is the best the def mid on the planet when fit and has wonderful technique for a player in his planet. he’s going to shit on Fat Frank at the Bridge! haha:-)

fergie put robinho out of his misery, pop in a cheeky bid in january!
sorry for posting twice:-o. the thing about ben that strikes me is his reaction saves his ones are world class and he saves them like buffon and casillas! it’s just that at times he panics and is calamitious but great keeper. city are a small club though who act as if they have won something major over the past 34 years! there is only ONE team in manchester and that is UNITED!! we are united!
does anyone need a ticket for the bolton game tomorrow? north west stand face value £49, will take face value for it!
aaah…. Van Der Sar…. bliss!!!
Sanj – Would agree with your team for Saturday except I reckon Giggsy will play instead of Valencia. He has only just got back from Chile.
willierednut – I have addressed this to you as I know you listen to talkshite. Anyway Stan bitter Collybore proper kicked off the other night as Brucie “dared” give the man of the match award to Becks. Steve Bruce has now hit back at the dirty dogging, bird beater in his press conference this aft calling him an idiot and how he can’t bare listening to the fool! Superb. Durham has said though that he hopes Bruce will be “man enough” to say it to Stans face as he is commentating on the game from the Stadium of Light. Man enough? Bruce would murder the cunt. Although Stan must be a big man if he can bray Ulrika ka ka ka .
ozzmufc – Robinho? No ta.
Ah, Giggs instead of Valencia. Forgot that Valencia had a far trip. Good thing we can replace him with the best player to ever play in the premier league, eh Micheal?
I suppose you look back on a club more fondly when you did something for them. Yorkey did something in Turin, giving me one of my fondest memories of the club.
There is no club like man utd. Fact. Sad thing is, there are very few players who don’t move to a club because of the money, or stay at their club through their entire career. Players like scholesygiggsyneville come once in a lifetime.
I am worried about tomorrow, we are missing rooney, fletcher and possibly berbatov. On the up side,VDS is back and maybe fergie will start owen with macheda/welbeck and gibson may be given a chance in the starting line-up. We need a win as we can’t afford to drop any points against lower teams. I myself will be happy with a 1-0 win, and I don’t thing the players will be at their sharpest against Bolton anyway. We’ve got to keep in mind that the majority of them have played internationals.
It will be a tough match tomorrow, we will have to match their intensity if we want to get the 3 points… A 1-0 will do nicely… Then on to Russia, play for a draw and no injuries, and then unleash the hounds at Anfield
I am hoping stevie me and torres will be out for the dippers game. Although I would love it if torres only was fit for it, so that vidic will get revenge on him and wipe that terrible haunting mistake from his mind.
Fze123 – Berba will play tomorrow mate, I am sure of it. It will be a tough game and it’s just a shame Rooney can’t play as he does well against Bolton. Ideally Berba and Owen. If Fletch not fit Carrick who can hopefully continue the form he left off from before the break and Anderson. SAF could well start with Scholesy though as he has only played 45 minutes in the last 3 weeks and would be suited to battle it out in the middle of the park against a team like this. I would imagine the back 4 will look much more confident and back to it’s old self safe in the knowledge it’s Edwin back behind them. Thats not a slight on Ben but I know I will also feel more confident rather than shitting it every time a ball gets passed back.
Heard that bitter cunt collymore on the radio today he tried to claim that he Played at the same level as Bruce therefore he deserved some respect off Bruce haha is this Bruce who won pretty much everything in the game compared to collymore who won what exactly?? Fuck off for a walk with ur dog u IDIOT!!!!!!
Does Gerrard have an injury?
And I would like to see Kiko/Fabio get a spot on the bench tomorrow. I doubt it though.
my line up would be something like van der sar, brown rio vidic evra, valenica carrick anderson/flecth giggs, owen berbatov/macheda or welbeck
As long as our defence is solid, Bolton won’t be trouble.
Owen to get 2.
And yes, I’m back.
Suhayl – Now then fella. Welcome back. Where the fuck you been? You’ve been missed on here pal. Just in time for next weeks dipper bashing!!
Welbz19 – You are joking? Same level as Bruce, the man is deluded. Bruce is a winner. Stan is just a fat spice boy best remembered for winning fuck all and beating women . If he says he deserves respect of Bruce doesn’t it work both ways? Where is his respect for Beckham? He should not be allowed to broadcast. He is so bitter its not true. in the space of a few days thats two premier league Managers he has upset. McLeish as well. Who the fuck does he think he is?
Drew – Yeah both Stevie Me and the ladyboy are out with groin injuries.
If berba is also not playing then macheda deserves a chance to start. fergie should continue playing 4 4 2.playing bolton should be an easy game and we should win it.
@GHTT yuck.. your saliva on your keypad… :p
@Suhayl welcome back mate. Well that is one long absence. How are you?
Damn i got Rooney, Foster, Torres and Gerrard on my fantasy team! Arghhh!! This week’s gonna be hell!
Suhayl — Welcome back, hope things are well.
Ash — It wont be easy man. Bolton played really well against Spurs the other week. They will play with their ass on fire, like the majority of teams do when they get their chance at OT.
Oh and KE — Thats good to hear. Lets hope Sunderland can have a similar performance as they did against us. I might watch that game just to see Cattermole again. That dude is quality, I like his style.
welcome back suhayl it’s been long. good to have you back. guys for the dippers game i want both of them stevie me and the transvestite torres next week cos they(dipper fans) claimed last season that they beat us and anfield and we could’ve won that game convincingly. hope we im all out at the start and hopefully take the game by the scruff of the neck.:-)
Suhayl the legend is back in time for dipper bashing next week.
Where you been mate?I thought you’d have at least come back after the derby.
Hope all was well in that time.
PS:Could you not have commented while you were winning all the contests?

on the home page of manutd.com ,ya know the site Emily was on, tehy have a count down to kick off which is sponcered by hublot , the watch makers that sponcer united
am i wrong or is the watch 10 mins slow ?? it reads the match starts in 7hours 13 mins but its 3 minutes to 8 oclock
ghtt
that 3 mins to 8 is the actual UK time.the match countdown is just mentioned not displayed on the clock.
Thanks for wishing diwali.’festival of Lights” we call it.although the noisy crackers really irritate me.
i did not see emily on our official website.if you have any link can you psot it?

@Suhayl : welcome back mate
@andsolskjærhaswonit, GHTT : thanks a lot mate
YES!!!! finally i get to watch real football!!!! hope Berba plays and scores a hat trick!!
Right. Firstly I have to say that all this welcoming back makes me feel like a God.
1/ Michael Owen plays for Manchester United, and he only went and scored the 96th minute winner in the derby didn’t he.
2/ Good Luck to Ronaldo, Fuck off Tevez you argie fucking prick.
3/ DIMI BERBA is MAJESTIC.
4/ Dippers next week.
5/ Best site in the world.
I agree with all 5 points,Suhayl.
PS:Now once Failsworth is back proper,we’ll have the entire crowd again.
@king eric
I was listening to that collymore says he got the best of brucie, will lets compare wat they both won. Collybore nowt, brucie captained united to league titles, fa cup’s, doubles, yes collybore mite ave won a few battles but brucie won the war’s. ps sorry it took so long to respond was on the drink last nite
