Now that we’ve had a few days to digest our implosion against Manchester City, the only thing to do now is move on. It’s confined to the history books, forget it. Nothing can be changed now. The only thing that can be done is correcting it in the future. Starting on Saturday when we kick-off at noon away to Everton.
Darren Fletcher has enjoyed scoring against Everton in the past
Although the hurt of the humiliating defeat will take an age to go away, the bright side ensures we’ve plenty of football to keep ourselves occupied in the immediate future. Despite us struggling at Goodison Park in recent seasons, particularly last season when we inexplicably gave up a two-goal lead in injury-time, some things are finally falling our way.
The comeback of Tom Cleverley against Aldershot in the Carling Cup is a massive boost to the entire squad but especially in midfield as we have lacked cohesion and confidence during his absence. Nemanja Vidic’s return from injury is also well-timed as the Serb hopes to help our recently leaky defence.
However, equally as important will be the shape which Everton are heading into Saturday’s encounter with. After their heart-breaking extra-time loss to Chelsea, David Moyes’ charges will be fatigued after their lengthy excursions. Also, having lost four of their last five matchss, they can hardly be highy confident facing the prospect of a wounded animal in the form of the champions of England looking to bounce back from the mother of all losses.
In recent season, we have seldom picked up three points from the Blue half of Merseyside. But that could and should be about to change on Saturday as the return of key players, coupled with our opponents dire recent form bodes well and a win is well within our reach is we approach the match professionally.
On their return from Goodison Park, United is going to host Otelul Galati for some Champions League action, watch Clarence Seedorf, Gianluigi Buffon, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Patrick Viera recreate some of the historic moments of the competition:

Man Utd News 24/7
Looking forward to next match against Everton….hope we are good this time round…GGMU
maybe its time to give Berbatov and Owen a go for the game against Everton…socreline to me is secondary as long as we win the game. We a slacking at the back and middle against shitty but I think the gaffer will get that fix…
i think we should start berbatov. He’s worth hanging onto and he won’t be this patient forever. . .
United WILL bounce back we always bounce back. That is what sets us apart from all the others.
Just out of curiosity, if under author it says admin does that mean STR?
Cedars
Real shame your Nigerian wonder will not be visiting, but signs that you’re on the mend pal and very glad to hear it. Not sure about the Admin question ? Maybe he has a PA now he’s such a busy man.
Still no news on the mystery Republik of Mancunia bloke I saw at the derby, maybe he was bought it as a gift.
King Eric…..where are you???!!!
Mikekelly
As much as I will miss this goddess of a woman I do feel great now to be honest… Like a horse to be precise! STR with a PA? Part of evolution I suppose….. Guess next we will have posts written by the Marketing Team, Sales Team etc! hahaha
That bloke you are on about probably stole that jacket from King Eric!
Fletch looks like Zidane in that pic…
aimanunited
Well spotted! Would that be Zidane’s goal in the CL final a few years back?
This week has been tough…real tough
Cheers.
Any kind of win will do. The City game aside, we also have to settle a score at Goodison. A 4th season without a win there is unbearable.
I don’t think I will recover until we smash City ourselves. Am I the only one that has noticed Anderson is putting on a bit of weight and I don’t mean muscle , he is actually getting fat. If I were being paid £60,000 a week to play football the very least I could do is look like an athlete.
@Costas
Thankfully, they played 120 minutes against Chelsea yesterday, and also had one of their better players (Drenthe) sent off, so he’ll be suspended for Saturday. Let’s hope we can take advantage. We cannot afford to let City widen the gap.
A nice tribute to 2 United greats and amazing leaders….. How we could do with one of them today…
Always had this imagination of them both being part of the same team in these days… BLOODY hell, would shit the pants out of any opposition for sure….. Enjoy fellas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iAPawmHfRk
I believe in my club Manchester United, they will surely bounce back with full force and continue the un beating
Pre-match warm up…
Keano ‘I will smash any cunt thinking of getting past me or having a go at any of our players’
Robbo ‘Just pass me the ball and I will score, I ALWAYS score, Oh and by the way Keano I could help you smash a few buggers out there’
Fucking love UNITED
@cedars, yeah the technique is the same with zizou’s volley in CL final vs Leverkusen
aimanunited
Ah yes… The pain of missing out on that final was hard to take. Leverkusen for God’s sake! The final was in Glasgow if I recall and it would have been special for Sir Alex. Real Madrid were superb that year though
Cedars
Somehow I knew who the tribute would be for before clicking ; )…..God I miss those two!!
We’ve stugled in the last 4weeks!worked 2 hard aginst norwich,rooney red card,cud hav lost 2 riverpoo then the shitty thrashing!its jus a bad patch!
This cunting cunt of a City loving friend I have (Been a blue since the 70′s and I love the bugger to bits) asked me the other day to pick my all time best United 11….. I could not to be honest…
Robbo and Keano certain starters but other that I was baffled
Mikekelly – I miss them too!
sigh, when will united have another great midfielder like Robbo, Keano and Scholesy again?
Clev and others are still too damn far from their standard…
but I really hope our young lads can become great in the future!
FUCK, come to think of it and as you filter your friends over the years I am left with 3 that I can call best friends…. 2 are City fans, the other is a genuine scouser! I have given them hell over the past few years mind you I just hope its not their turn this season…
I have no where to hide! hahaha
The difference to Zidane in 2001 was that it was with his left if I am not mistaken. Everton this weekend- 120 mins against Chelski, Drenthe out, Evra and Ferdinand on the bench and TC back……..looks like we might finally get a result at Goodison. I am sure Fergie will poke red hot stoke up the players asses.
Form is temporary…….CLASS IS PERMANENT!!!!!
Do United need a Midfield trio? In a 433 or 451….4-4-2 is only good for little teams and easier games.
Every team seems to have one, Arsenal, Spurs,Chelsea,Liverpoo, Citeh, Inter,Real,Barca,Napoli. Maybe Sir Alex needs to change from the out dated 4-4-2. We played great in CL with 4-2-3-1 & 4411.
1/3rd of the Trio needs a Battler (Gattuso) or a Anchor (Busquets,Thiago Mottta) Ours is Either
- Carrick or Fletcher – Sorted ✓ …… Fletch is less disciplined so another would be ok.
Another 1/3rd Needs a passer, a Ball winner, Box to Box Mover ( Xavi,Scholes,Pirlo) Our is
-Tom Cleverley – Sorted ✓ Giggs & Anderson can do a job on their day.
The last 1/3rd of the Trio Needs a spark,creator, Goal scorer defence splitting star, a roaming untouchable, a guy that has a instinctive partnership with the 2nd midfielder and fowards.( Gerrard, Zidane,Silva,Iniesta, Scholes etc)….We have nothing ……………………………………Wait Rooney?
- Buy SOMEONE ! Anyone. For now we’ll stick by Rooney and the hopeless Anderson till the summer.
United need to move with the times, the only way a team can play 2 midfielders is if they have two 10/10 stars Like Schweinsteiger and Khedira (Germany), even then they play Ozil or Goetze to drop form the wings to support.
Drenthe looks quality and further proof of how real madrid destroy genuine young talents, i’m glad he won’t be playing against united, he’s a speed machine with end product to boot, give him a season or two in the league and if he continues in this vain then we can snap him up lol, we haven’t had a quality left footer flyer since since giggs.
Of course we’ll be back, we didn’t turn shit over night an the lads are playing for pride now. I can only imagine the stick our squad are getting, its bad enough for us just following the Club! Rooney got what he deserved for inviting City players to his birthday. At least Rio declined going to the NFL game, Wayne should of rescheduled or cancelled. Fuck sitting there with them lot gloating all night. City and their fans will be talking about this 6-1 for years and years, im already board of it, but if we retain our title it won’t amount to shit. Only ONE goal went in with eleven men on the pitch anyway… they normally STFU after you remind them of that fact.
Everton won’t be easy, they never are, but we’ll be up for this match more than any other encounter in recent memory. We can’t afford to lose this one. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if we did, but the negative headlines and ABU circus would roll on and on. A win is exactly what we need right now and im sure Alex will be demanded nothing less. Will we see an appearance from our Golden Boot winner? I hope so, but more than anything I hope to see Cleverly and Ando back in the middle.
ALSO – remotely RoM related but I’ll post it here anyway. There are now THREE players for QPR who are ready to give evidence against John Terry. Looks like he’s been lying from day one as reported by Scott the Red. When I read “JT” talking all that bollocks about “its all sorted” and “me and Anton are cool” I knew he was lying like the little cunt he is. He expected Anton to just bend over and take it.
The thing is, if Rio’s brother enjoys moving around London without problems like he currently does he can’t be seen to take shit like that from any cunt. If you bumped into Anton would you respect him if he let Terry call him a black cunt and then pat him on the head? Funnily enough, its Terry who might now have a problem going to all the top clubs in the Capital – which surprisingly enough are all filled with black and white punters listening to MOBO.
Nobody likes a cunt, and Terry was born on thin ice, so by now I reckon he’s completely fucked. Well done Paddy Evra for exposing racism in football! You’re a credit to the game mate, because before you spoke up people didn’t believe “this sort of thing” went on in football every bloody weekend on the pitch. Course it does, Rio already said there was a known racist in the England camp, but people are so busy condemning his “lifestyle” they forget to condemn the alleged racism in English football. The cats out the bag now mate! Well done Evra, force all these odious cunts to look in the fucking mirror.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2053972/John-Terry-set-face-evidence-3-QPR-players.html
Gerrard ? you’re fucking joking aren’t you, i wouldn’t name steve me amongst midfield players that can control a game, he may come up with driving runs and goals but he’ll never control a game as he is tactically inept.
NYDUDE
Good to see you posting here again……No one will be more hurt than Fergie after that freak of nature game….. Would hate to be a player facing up to him at half time at Godison Park if I am not playing well
Cedars:
As you say, there will be a number of changes to the squad this weekend…….Fergie will only need to look at the likes of Rooney, Young and Nani to get a result. Left back? Thoughts? Fabio?
Gerrard? Hahahaha the worst thing to have ever happened to the English national team…. Extremely overrated and partly to blame for having Scholes played out of position…. The guy is a good player but a great? hahahaha
Well his pass to Drogba was special
TC to partner Fletcher or Anderson? Giggsy?
NYDUDE
I have a special affection towards the twins, Fabio at left back may not be a bad idea…. Pat needs a break and a slap across the face too!
@Kanchelskis
Plus we are going into this game a lot fresher. However, I try not to get my hopes up based on that. I believe Stoke also played extra time right before our league game and they still put up a hell of a fight.
Jay – i agree, brazilians seem to have motivational problems, they can’t stay professional and keep in shape. ronaldo de lima, ronaldinho, adriano have all been through the weight problems, the difference is at least they’ve accomplished Something in their career and made significant impacts, anderson has done none of this.
when scholes retired, you’d think anderson would take the initiatives and stamp his authority on the team. he done for a few games, cleverly’s injury seemed to come at the wrong time and he has lost form, i can’t say have huge confidence in him for big games, he doesn’t have the fight in him when the going gets tough, different parts of his game still needs improving, i mean c.ronaldo never became a sensation over night, he worked hard on his all around game, i doubt anderson stays after training to improve everything, he probably fucks off home to eat his favourite brazilian meal, pathetic and unacceptable
Wee Thomas to partner Carrick
Good evening red devils around the world,
excellent read and positive way the right way forward and i hope we draw bitters in carling quaters..
to start the evening with,
”You may find another Beckham or Ronaldo, but never ever will you find another Sir Alex Ferguson.”
- Eric Cantona
Samuel
Still worried buddy? One of them injections I received recently would do you wonders!
I might be one of the few ROMers that fond of Three Lung Park’s hard work.
I’d say give him a run in CM alongside Tom Clev or carrick for a few consecutive games and he’ll not disappoint.
He’s so under rated just because he’s no english or european…
At the moment in my eye and forw-wise he’s better than all our natural CM…
shit typo… *form
Cedars – you don’t think fergie has mellowed a bit? i doubt he’d be throwing boots and chairs like he used to, besides players this days are weak and you have to take a different approach with them. next thing it will be a transfer request.
Cedars: I share the same affection for the boys from Brazil……they are still learning their trade and will be formidable if they are able to keep their heads down and train hard. As for Pat- he has been off his game this season and towards the latter part of last season. He is only 5 6″ which shows at times. As for Jonesy and Smalling……. They will both play this Sat in my opinion along with Vida.
Rooney and Welbeck…….. chicharito to come on in the 70thor so
Midfield- Young, Nani, TC and Anderson is my guess with Giggs or Carrick to settle the ship in the 80th
Fcuk Stevie me????? CUNT of the highest order. As for TINY TEARS- where is the FA???? MIA?
Samuel
Cannot argue that point my friend…. I am sure the boss has mellowed but if those 11 out there do not spill their guts out for him and more importantly for the club then fuck ‘em….
Do not care what your name is, you play for United then be a United player
Cedars – injection? i’ll stick to a cold drink buddy, i can only take my hat off to you that you can take one though but nah nah haha
NYDUDE,
Hello pal,
for a moment i read ur name as NUDE
by the way, left back position, i think if Evra gets the axe then it will be for sure Fabio..
i think Valencia might play as Right Back..
to be honest, i dont when Rio, Evra and Smalling will play their next games,
from what we have experincd with brown, u never know how much Sir Alex might punish you.
but at the same time, he may put them straight in the mix to get the best outta evra..
but i have a feeling, as said, this kother of all losses is not that easy to let go by, no, not Sir Alex..
Cedars – if they can’t put in 100 percent then they should be shipped out, it is the least you’d expect off a manchester united player, i still think fergie will have his occasional outburst though, that glaswegian madness is instilled into him, that sunday defeat may have been one of those days they see that side of him.
NYDUDE
Pat is only 5’6? I knew he was short but fuck he is tiny! Bloody good header of the ball for a small guy
Still needs a break and will always love him
@Sandeep
I don’t think Smalling will get the axe, but Rio and Evra will be axed for atleast a few matches.
It will be interesting to see if Cleverley and Carrick can compliment each other well.
I would like to see this line up- De gea, smalling, jones, vidic, fabio, young/park, cleverley, carrick, nani, rooney, hernandez/ berbatov
@Paul Parker, Ha, I hope the cunt gets brutally charged for it, but I doubt it. I am still surprised that Rio hasn’t been asked to comment on this. That would be interesting, whether he restrains from laying it on his equally glamorous England team mate, or whether he vociferously supports his brother in these claims. Like I said, let us see where the F.A., which itself is made up of a bunch of cuntsm take these claims. The cunt is, after all, the English captain and it would totally destroy their overall image all over the world. But if they do take serious action, then fair play to them.
As for last week, when you look at it overall, was just one loss. Sure, people will say that the manner of the loss showed that there are deeper problems. But, in the context of the league, it is just a single game, but it is not like we’ve lost a slew of games on the trot. The news of decline and all that have been vastly overdone.
Manchester United always bounce back. It is what separates us from the rest of the teams in the world. We’ve been in this position millions of times before and come through unscathed each time. Sir Alex is the master of this. Nothing ever seems to faze him, and this is no different. He will know what do and do it to bring us out of this as only he can.
Right, I am off to see The Ides of March as my customary pre-weekend film lads! Have fun.
Morning Cedars hope the treatment is working,i know you don’t do Heroin mate,just a bad joke about you waiting for the lovely injection
According to the Daily Star…i know,Rio and Evra will be axed Carrick and Tom will start in midfield but will be no change in the strikers.
It’s time JT was dropped as England captain,he’s a lowlife cunt
http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/118201.html?CMP=OTC-RSS
My apologies for the major punctuation mistakes in the last post lads. In a hurry to vomit my thoughts and leave for the film.
Samuel
I said earlier, the last thing I would ever want in my life is to face an angry Sir Alex, would put me to shame to be honest even if I was on 75 million a week!
Those 11 have to respond to him and to us….
Anybody knows Olivier Norwood?? He is at loan at Scunthorpe and scored his first goal against Huddersfield, this week with Scholsey watching from the stands. The Scunthorpe manager said that some of the things that Ollie does with the ball were unbelievable, and that the lad is working hard. Would be another good midfielder for our team if he keeps it up..Kind Eric would have given us better knowledge though. Shame.
@ Balaji,
happy Diwali pal,
when its a blue film, punctuation takes the second priority
If carrick can step up then you can imagine him and cleverly can dominate the middle, tom can go forward and be creative while carrick shields the backline. you know what, we should play a three man midfield at evertong. keep possession and take the sting out of the game because goodison park can be extremely difficult when their fans get behind them properly, we have to shackle tim cahill who for a 5foot something guy is formidable in the air, same with felliani, saha will be an undoubted threat, it won’t be easy.
@Samuel
Tim Cahill and Phil Neville are doubts for the game according to David Moyes.
Good for us if they do miss the match, as Drenthe is also out.
Everton at home are not an easy game, but definitely should be doable. From the title perspective we need to stay in the hunt and avoid a lost game turning into a blip, or worse a crisis. Just need the lads to get their heads down and get stuck into winning us some points.
I’d like to see Berbatov start against Everton alongside Rooney, with Chicharito as the impact sub. But I’d always like to see that and it never happens. Ah well.
Although Ando has been struggling wouldn’t put it down to weight if he was fat wouldn’t be playing,players are strictly monitored.Ando’s problem is with his head not fitness
wayne
I knew you were joking, as was I buddy…. Its what you and I do! Keep the crowd confused and bemused! hahahahaha
I now feel like a donkey, felt like a horse earlier…. They are from the same family though no?
Fucked up family that is mind you
@ Balaji, ha, typical
- that QPR story I quoted has already been categorically denied by QPR this morning. I thought it was a touch early for witnesses to be confirmed when we haven’t heard much from Evra’s investigation yet. From what I understand the case against Terry is still being put together, and it involves what was said on the pitch as well as what was said in the dressing room after the game. Terry claims he “sorted it out” with Anton, but Anton didn’t realise a racist comment had been made until he’d left the stadium. So whatever Terry said after the game, he didn’t accuse Anton of making a racist allegation against him on the pitch. Eitherway, witnesses will be needed to back Anton’s assertion that him and Terry didn’t talk about racist allegations after the game. Oddly, Ashley Cole is a confirmed Chelsea witness even though he says he didn’t hear anything. Considering Terry already admits calling Anton a “black cunt”, whats the point of Ashley Cole being a witness?
The mind bogles, but regardless, what is known 100% is that Anton AND Rio are refusing to respond to John Terry. Neither brother is interested in “sorting it out” with Terry and they both want a full open investigation. We’ll have to wait and see which QPR players give witness statements, but somebody heard the conversation in the dressing room, and that could be enough to decide the case.
http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/118201.html
Enjoy the Ides of March, thats supposed to be a decent film!
Cedars – you’d find it difficult to find many managers who command as much respect as him so yeah doubt you’d want to get on the wrong side of him.
And finally, yes every united fan would like to see reaction after a demoralising week. to be honest i just want a win, how it comes doesn’t matter to me, the only way to erase this completely is by smashing 9 past city next time and winning the league, doubt we will ever score 9 but the league is winnable, as long the team works hard and some luck goes our way.
Once the piss taking and venomous joy of our rival supporters has died down Then maybe they might start to see our defeat against City in a different perspective. Now before any one accuses me of making out that losing was a good thing please let me say this. If we had drawn against City then it would have alowed us to paper over the cracks again. After that defeat there is now no hiding place. There is no better manager in world football than Fergie in situations like this and he will demand a response from the players and he WILL get one. With the return of players from injury coupled with a United backlash then it would be ironic if Cities glory day was what ultimately drove us on to our 20th title.
Sandeep
You have one of the best intros on RoM… Brilliant greeting
Jim – if tim, phil and drenthe are out then we can breathe just a little bit, you’d still expect a david moyes team to put in 100 percent, as long as we match that then great. maybe i’m over analysing the game but fuck it lol
@ DogHouse,
thats more like it,
even if it means we have to grind out the results, let us do it, 3 points is what matters in the coming days, then we can up the tempo to the finshing line.
Jim,
thanks for the wishes and wish you the same..
Cedars,
buddy, wat up and whats on the cards…
I’ve been pushing for the Carrick-Cleverley duo to start for the last few days….partly because I think it would be a good partnership (one shield, one going forward)…..and partly coz I think its high time Ando was benched for a few games to wake him up. However, I’ve now got a funny feeling that Fergie will pair Ando and Cleverley up again. Maybe he’ll wanna see
a) Was Ando’s poor form just down to the fact that Cleverley was injured….or was it a coincidence?
b)He’ll wanna recreate the front 6 that started the season so well
However, as has been said…as good as the Cleverley-Ando combination was at the start of the season in terms of going forward, they still didn’t protect us well enough defensively, we leaked a lot of chances…and after conceding 6 last week, Fergie might wanna take a more cautious approach….and maybe use the Galati game in midweek to re-unite Cleverley and Ando?
Samuel
If the team do not respond on Saturday then to hell with them. I do not care about results but more on how the team plays and how much passion they show….. You’re wearing a United shirt for fucks sake
Sparkz
Clev & Carrick would do nicely…. Been saying the same thing
Just smash them blue scousers and we will be ok
yup, its time carrick is in with Ando, that would be interesting and i hope it clicks, it has to..
i meant carrick is in with Tom
An EPIC Poem by a UNITED Fan:
A 6-1 defeat ?
They turned up the heat?
You can enjoy as much as u can,
Coz everything just went,according to your plan.,
In the first half we were up to the mark,
We had lots of possession ,
but the quality was lacking in the final half..
And just when it was least expected,
City scored,and our spirits dejected..
In the second half,team came out ,hoping to bounce back,
A red card to Evans,and the match went out of our grasp.
That moment turned out to be a fatal blow,
As city smelled blood,and wanted to hurt us more…
And to our bad luck,it just went that way,
city turned up the heat,and we were simply blown away…
They piled on goals after goals ,
and even though fletcher scored a beauty,
our defenders then forgot there duty..
But my dear friends , i don’t think that the title race ends today,
as far as i know, Who is the actual WINNER,will be decided only in May..
All we can do is to forget this nightmare,
Coz we all know,whenever we fall,we GET BACK UP STRONGER..!!
One Final advice to our rivals—-Beware of the wounded Tiger
you know what team i’d like to see?
Young–Wayne–The Berb
Clev–Fletch–Nani
Fabio–Vida–Jones–Smalling
Not necessarily against Everton, I’d just really like to see that team play.
Mes!
How on earth was your honey moon buddy?
Sandeep1878
Very good, enjoyed that.
Hope them Yanks did not give you too much problems…..
Sorry, I pressed submit before I meant to.
I’d like to see that team because I think it’s our most flexible line up shape wise.
Theres, a 433, a 442, a 4411, and Wayne could certainly move back and make a 451. Fletch could move to into Hargreaves position, etc. It’s got the lot.
Cedars, you’re a true gent for asking. It was bloody amazing. Saw all the games and made some good United buddies along the way. The best bit was realising that the best beer bar in NY (I’m a proper beer geek) was run by a staunch Red. Ace.
Aside from the football, yep, 2nd best time of my life next to the wedding day.
Cheers mate!
Just watching a premier league year history 2001/2002, newcastle4 united3
keano collected by throwing a ball at shearer, paul scholes missing golden chances.
Wow United
Mes
Great to have you back posting….. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Remember, keep your babe close to your heart and United always in it!
Glad you had a good time my red friend
Wow 3goals down against spurs and we won by 5goals to 3 at white hart lane.
United love this damn club.
Paul Parker
Rooney fucking did what? First of he still had the party, Secondly he invited who ? Jeez teh hurt is coming back even stronger. WTF is that about. i can understand players mixing even with the ememy – sure thee’re some all right blokes there but for fucks sake barely 24hrs after the defeat. I hope to fuck the squad isn’t cowing to teh hype shitty are getting. Impressive side no doubt but they’re not our biggest, United is our biggest worry. If we set clear daylight in our performance for this season from last, we will win the league. Fuck me footballers these days
Don’t forget slim Rooney almost signed for city all his buddies mate.
It’s not just about Everton. Got a pretty important CL match coming up too. Sure it’s against the worst team in the group, but we are half-way through the group stage already and not looking too bright. I mean, we should qualify but at the moment, we are 2 points behind Benfica, and I don’t think we want to finish second.
Gutted! Was hoping to be first on this thread…
The QPR statement seems a little odd. Says that not only have those 3 players not been called to give evidence, but also says they will not be called. How do they know? Isn’t the FA running this? I thought the investigation only just started, so how does the FA know already?
I gotta say, the photo that the Guardian chose for the QPR/Terry story is an absolute classic. Given the topic of the story, to find and use a photo of Terry clamping his hand over his mouth (as if to say, “Oops, me and my big mouth!”) was brilliant.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/oct/27/qpr-players-john-terry-racism-inquiry
wayne
Darn it thats the last straw, i’m officially down in the dumps again, thanks a lot mate
If my memory serves me right we played Stock after they had gone to extra time or had a Euro trip. Playing a team that hasnt won a lot can also be dangerous so there is nothing in my opinion to say we shall get a result just by attending. I believe every game is a different script. I hope we get the 3 points, clean sheet and that we go back to pass-and-move link play. Too many players are stagnant. Fletch managed to score coz he was alert to complete the one-two and as a result of passing and moving he got the chance. That is what has been missing. The whole team must purpose to fight and not take things easily. We should be over confident regarding any of our opponents.
slim anytime mate lol
Scholes our new scout,i’d rather be sent to South America lol
http://www.givemefootball.com/premier-league/scholes-sent-on-5m-united-scouting-trip-report
some good news…milo krasic has claimed that man united are interested
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12040/7268806/Krasic-flattered-by-links
hey fellow reds is it just me or do we not have a genuine threat to Evra at left back? i mean he has been poor now for a couple of seasons and tbh the twins dont really do it for me Fabio always seem to get injured and makes reckless tackles all the time i think its a position the boss needs to look at along with Right Back although i think Rafael is the more solid of the two twins for me but he is also prone to the odd reckless decisions!
Lol do me a favour….it was his birthday party and it was already arranged, he was hardly gonna cancel it. And as for the City players he invited…..with the exception of Balotelli, the rest of them were all his England team mates!
Mes- that team is actually quite intriguing and flexible, I wouldn’t mind seeing it in a Cup tie or something, just to see how it goes. I’d swap Berba and Rooney around in that line up though.

always the rational one eh. nothing wrong is emotions flying of the handle once in a while. Apart from the inital disgust, i wouldn’t give a rats ass who he invited for his party

King Eric would be interested in this article. That cunt John Tring, who’s posted on here a few times, calling for Fergie to be sacked. This clown claims to be a United fan. I have my doubts. So called fans like him, should be outed as glory seeking morons. The manager has earned the right to leave on his terms. United were in dire straits(excuse the pun) when he took over. Changed the club from top to bottom. I hear the pundits talk about Wenger changing English football. I would be inclined to say, that Sir Alex has been at the forefront of some of the changes. I’m biased of course.

reading some of your previous post about nigeria gurl, do u like them, if yes will like go give u my sister lol.
Slim- Yeah I see that, I suppose its the natural initial reaction. When I first saw the headline I was a bit miffed myself, until I actually opened the page and read the full story!
Willie- Articles like that are designed purely to cause a reaction. I know everyone’s entitled to their opinion….but some things are just a no-no, pure rubbish. “Fergie should be sacked” is one of them. If he’d gone 6 years trophyless then I can understand it, but he’ll never let us get into a position like that.
That’s what I expect after the game against the city I’m still emotionally destroyed ¡¡GGMU!!
Fergie is the best.
Leave those cunts let them say what dey want.
The lad who wrote the article, wasn’t saying Fergie should be sacked. He was pointing out a fan who had said that.
Willie
i knows that, have read the article and am refering to that cunt the author wrote about.
Ah I see, should’ve read it first! Point still stands though.
Good evening Lovely Red Devils around the world.. (Cedars thank you for the mention buddy)
Red Neck,
good that you enjoyed it mate.
Wayne,
thanks for Scholesy link,
i want him to teach his trades to our young lads, they are so blessed to get coaching from one of the all time best Manchester United midfielder, hell they are lucky.
StatesideAussie,
yeah mate, we have that all important CL game and we need to finish on top of table..
if all goes well, we host benfica, it could be that day we top the group..
It’s beyond belief that any true United fan could wish for SAF to be sacked on the back of one defeat. FFS the man has earned the right to stay as United manager until the day he dies. Fergie has been written of by scum media and ignorant fans many times before. Every time the chips are down because of a poor season by our standards or a string of bad results they appear stating Fergie has lost the plot and Fergie should go. If Fergie makes a mistake he admits it and rectifies it. If anyone thinks that United would be anywhere near where we are today without him then I really do dispair. When Fergie does eventually stand down it will be a sad day for United.
this world is really cruel,
how on earth the cunts can wish for Sir Alex’s sacking
headless cunts
viva berba
rooney should learn lots of things from him…hahaha
@ willierednut – Read that article mate, that last paragraph hit the nail on the head about armchair fans who seem to have outrageous and strongly opinionated theories on football. Plenty come on here match day, can’t tar all with the same brush, but thats exactly what happened to match going fans after the game on sunday. When quite a lot of people claiming the support was as shit as the team because Sky/Espn (enter International TV Company here) told them so.
Happy Diwali folks!

Thanks Zibbie,

thanks for the link on WayneBoy..
Wazza – a complete missile
Everton will be an interesting team to play against. I think 4-4-2 is not the best formation however given how Everton set up. They do everything, just not always very well.
Saha will be a threat up front and given time and space as we know he can be very dangerous, however, I hope Vida and Rio start and CB, they are still the best we have and with Evra and Fabio/Smalling/Jones we should have enough – PROVIDED – the defence positions correctly and is ready to defencd.
Carrick infront of the back 4 for the first 70 mins with Cleverly makes sense. Hopefully that will bring dymanism to our MF and give us the MF attacking outlet we have been missing. I would like to see Park/Cleverly or Park/Carrick for part of the game as well.
Young has a toe injury so won’t be playing. This means if its 4-4-2 Nani and Valencia are likely to start. This would suit Rooney/Welbeck if the both get the crosses in and Cleverly provides an outlet through the middle.
However, this game is built for Pea’s / Owen’s movement. I would put Pea ahead of Owen right now as he has that extra but of pace. Rooney/Welbeck & Pea my forwards.
If its 4-4-3, then Pea, Rooney and Welbeck/Nani would be a great front line with Park/Nani, Cleverly and Valenicia behinf them.
I think 4-4-3 would be a better formation for team like Everton, we became very predicatable with 4-4-2 without Cleverly as unless Park played we had zero penetration through the middle and zero ability to defend in 2/3 of the pitch.
I think given what happened, SAF will start the game conservatively, and if we are ahead, he will bring on defenders so we finish conservatively.
Evra gets way to much signled out criticism here to almost stupid degree, people don’t seem to remember that there are games this season where he was phenomenal, he has also been playing every match and he seems to get singles out when the whole team plays badlly like one guy at LB can stop all the attacks when the rest of the team is not tracking back and doing F-all. I am not saying he has not made mistakes, but for God’s sake get some perspective, people writing him off are clueless imo.
Just recovered enough to get back onto the net in the last couple of days. Not fully over the debacle but looking forward to the lads redeeming themselves.
It is well overdue for Carrick and Berbatov to start.
Carrick has been the glue that holds everything together. Shields the centre of defence, retains possesion and can play good thru balls to our strikers.
Berbatov, what does this genius need to do to get into the team? Run around like a chicken without a head! The most talented (skill) player at the club. Can hold the ball, can play others in, can assist, can score. PLAY the fucking bloke already.
We need to go 451 or 433 (both the same) against better teams that play similar.
Start with – DeGea
Smalling- Jones-Vidic-Evra
Valencia- Carrick- Cleverly – Nani
Rooney
Berbatov
Sure Pea and Wellbeck will chase and harrass their defence more but we need to keep the ball. Pea is a better super sub at this moment than a starter.
Dont even mention Owen in the same breath as Berbatov please.
Wellbeck will get plenty of opportunites soon enough, get some class and experince in there to help the youngsters until they get more experinced themselves.
To be played ahead of Pea and Rooney and now Welbeck Berbatov has to be more consistent, which he is not.
His first 2 years at United were poor, most of his goals last seson came in a handful of games against lower opposition though he did have a couple of good games. Pea and Rooney have a bette spread of goals over games, as does Welbeck in his bried period here. Rooney and Welbeck can also provide assists.
Looking over his 3 yrs, for 30mn he has underperformed and lacked consistency, while capable of occasional brilliance, his play generally does not fit with the style of the team, him and Rooney also like to occupy the same position – in the hole behind a lead striker – and Rooney is a better more consistent player who is more likely to be a match winner where unfortunately Berbatov flatters to deceive. That is why the manager knows what he is doing in playing Berbatov as 4/5 choice striker. However, I am enjoying watching him play in the Carling Cup where he has time and space against weaker opposition to show his skills. Obviously SAF does not rate him against good oppositon.
Also Nani is our most skillful player, followed by Giggs and Rooney, not Berbatov, he can hold a ball up but struggles to beat a man like Nani can or pick a pass with th vision that Giggs and Roonei can and he lacks the movement of Pea in the box. He has sone lovely touches but saying Berbativ is the most skilful player is a joke. Inesta is a skilful player. Berbatov is a good player who is not world class like some of his team mates but who has some nice touches an against weaker opposition he does okay.
Great team, we just need to put our best guys out there and get rid of players like Evans. 3 years of trial is more than enough.
I thought SAF said that Pogba will be playing more games this year?
