After scoring a great goal against Liverpool for the Reserves, which has made United favourites for the league, Gabriel Obertan has now set his sights on making a difference for the first team in the remaining Premiership matches.
“It is good for the confidence to score some goals and good when the manager is watching the game,” said Obertan. “There are four matches left in the Premier League so it would be nice to be able to have a few minutes on the pitch. It’s been a bit difficult the last couple of months but I’ve worked hard with the reserves and in training, and it is paying off.”
Man Utd News 24/7
he said before the match that all he thinks is missing from his game is goals
Lets convert him into a striking position and i but all reds dat we wud get a goal machine.
What an achievement for Ole if he wins the Reserves League… haha maybe if Alex eventually retires he’ll give it to Ole, man I would love that fuck results
obertan > berbatov
@Macheda IS GOD
That is abit over, even if you do not like Berbatov
Macheda is not better than Berba.
If you still don’t get what Berbatov gives to the United team, then you don’t understand Football.
Seriously, try developing your own opinion on Berba instead of the paper’s.
This isnt an article regading Berba so I´ll keep it to what this article is about and that is Obertan.
The kid has bags of ability, has pace to burn a good 1st touch and a player I would rather see playing as part of a front 3.
Once he gets some 1st team games under his belt and scores a couple of goals I think he will blossom into a fantastic player and one which will end up as a central striker, which will gives alot more pace to our attack.
And the one thing i have noticed when he has played is that he has a good appreciation of when to pass and when to commit a defender.
I certainly hope that the likes of Obertan and others can make a name for themselves in the 1st team, but what is happening with Possebon?…becoz before the injury vs Middlesborough he looked very good and a comfortable midfielder who would have been a good addition to the 1st team squad…any news on how he is doing??
@javan
Thank you. After reading the previous couple of comments I was thinking not again…
Possebon seems to have gone backwards since that injury. I have watched a few reserve games and he has looks like he is slowly regaining his confidence. I would give him more time to develop.
FFS, whenever Scott posts something completely unrelated to Berbatov his name is ALWAYS brought up. It seems that some fans’ obsession with him outweigh their dislike for him.
he needs to improve his control of the ball,and passing and he would be fabolous
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgVtSyAQoZY
More of that please Obertan.
If only Berba had the pace he would the perfect attacking midfielder, infact he does have the pace, the only problem is that no matter how amazing his technicality is, his dribbling control aint amazing, thats why he chooses to hold up the play rather than run at defenders.
He would be like a god version of Modric/Krancjar. I can see that he wants to win, badly, he has the passion, no doubt and he adds and extra dimension to United but the problem is as a striker your meant to run at defenders, confuse them so that the other striker can be free to make runs, or you have to be the striker makign runs, thats the ethic of the 4-4-2. Berbatov could be that creative midfielder that we so badly need but unfortunately thats not his style at the moment.
I agree with Scott if Berba was a £10m buy, people would say he’s the buy of the season.
But for now all I know is, we need a pacy, goal scoring striker and a creative midfielder.
I had Sneijder in mind last season but he went and what a coup.
As for strikers, Villa age concerns me so I dont want him but we do need a Torres type or Drogba type striker. Someone with strength and pace, Heskey flourishes with Rooney because he distracts the defenders and uses his strength to move them away,
Just a thought.
LUHG
hes got abit on ronaldo in him
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRaXu0wDUic&feature=related
gonna be a big star for us.. obertan is class!!!!
we should give him some minutes in these few games that are left.. he can shoot.. got pace and skill
as i said on matchday.. god knows why evra came on instead of obertan.. OSHEA BLUDDY RAN OFF!!!
cant have been injured that bad
@ DKB07, we do have a striker with strength and pace who is Diouf.
Offtopic – How retarded are the people “debating” on the clubs official messageboard?
maybe cause im still frustrated?
We must let the youth come through the ranks, but if we have to, we should buy 1 or 2 players to fill in the gaps in our midfield. Giggs and Scholes can’t play forever, and we should let them contribute from the coaching side.
James Milner, perhaps? He looks extremely improved and is still young. We could use more new blood in the defence as well, Rio isn’t getting any younger.
WTFFFF
obertanthenewstar
KEEP LOOKING AT OBERTAN
i… i don’t like him anymore….wow thats horrendous
im still disgusted at that video 5 minutes gone now…
dont worry macheda is god
fergie will get that side out of him.. but every great player has that in them
that just tells us how good he is going to be
i love it
treble next season… why not?!!!!
Didn’t work with ronaldo did it? He still gets does hissy fits
Sorry guys for bringing that Berba topic back up but it had to be said and I didnt read the above comments as I didnt refresh and it just had to be said.
Onto Obertan, talented winger with lots of pace, if he can use intellegence and know how to put his pace into effect then he will be real gem of a player. Walcott as an example bundles of pace but need to learn alot like Nani is doing. Only things that worry me is that he was shocked to be bought but maybe its good that its not confident. But from recent foreign buys eg Manucho and Dong I have learnt keep your expectations low to avoid dissapointment, thats what my head says atleast, my heart says, IN FERGIE I TRUST!
As long Fergie is manager I trust him to build a team from scratch everytime.
obertan is french mate.. look at the great eric cantona and our very own hero.. patrice… obertan wont be goin to r.madrid or barca..
no need to worry about him leaving:)
but if he scores goals like ronaldo.. 42??
sounds goooooooood!!
@ DKB07
You thougt about the new striker. I have Dzeko in mind.
I’m from Germany and I’m able to say Dzeko would be worth the money.
Obertan has great potential. He could become a great one. Pace, technique, but has to work on his shooting power and his defensiv skills.
@Fze123
Is Diouf ready for the Premier League by next season.
@Zelh
I too had Dzeko in mind, hes been great for Wolfsburg with Grafite although a couple of years back I also thought Huntelaar was gonna be the next big striker but RM ruined him aswell, he looks like the carbon copy of Huntelaar. Admittedly I dont watch that much German football but i’ll take your word for it. Would anyone be happy to take Torres if he was for sale, just a question, dont want to start a flame war is just a fantasy question. I trust players coming from Ajax though, they never let you down, for example in United, Stam, Van Nistelrooy. Luis Suarez has been amazing for club and country, definetly one to watch on in the World Cup and then decide.
I believe if your successful for country in the world cup then you will successfully adapt into any league purely because you are playing with players from different clubs and players you dont generally play with.
—–
Obertan needs to bulk up a bit and get his head up when he’s on the ball. He has potential but at the moment he’s 1 in a million ‘with potential’.
@ DKB07
Dzeko did score against us in the CL this season but he didn’t test a defence which contained 3 midfielders and our 3rd choice keeper in goal enough. We had such a weak team out that night. Diouf is the type of player who is perfect for the PL. He has a great goal threat and physical presence about him. Just needs to improve his finishing and given more games he will be ready.
DKB07
“I believe if your successful for country in the world cup then you will successfully adapt into any league purely because you are playing with players from different clubs and players you dont generally play with.”
Didnt quite work that way with Kleberson
Great potential. Thought he did well on the seniors he played wen we got him. Hopefully he’ll develop a lot more
Shitbag Gooners are 1 nil down to Tottynam at halftime
That was a very nice volley by Rose.
Nice is an understatement. After seeing it again, it’s fucking brilliant.
@ fze Mind Almunia fucked about as per.Dillydallying around, rather that straight up and prepare for the expected shot coming straight back at him.That lad Rose yes on his debut and against Arsenal , Thats history for the lad. And for Costas and Willie, I told you so, lol 45 to go, hope you are watching boys. Trust the Scot with crystal balls. lol
Away to continue watching the Match
Ps Willie listening on the radio as well draw at Tannadice with your mob
Gareth Bale just Scores 2 /0 the Spuds
does anyone think that ole could step up & follow fergie?
just a thought always been a good watcher of the game.
Is it a lot to ask Spurs to do the same this Saturday?
@ lawman – No Ole isn’t the one to replace Fergie. Reserve footy is reserve footy. Players who were legends when pulling on the red shirt isn’t guaranteed success as a manager. To be honest don’t know how people put this notion together especially intelligent posters like yourself.
@ redscot, yeah it was a classic Alumnia fuck up. Nicely taken goal nontheless. I hope Spurs can hold on. If they do somehow get a win I will not be expecting the same against the renties, Spurs can’t keep the ball for more than 10 seconds on their own ground to save their damn lives. I hope they play as shit as the’re playing against Arsenal at OT though.
@Fze123
What I am hoping, is that this win can galvanise them and give them some confidence ahead of the Chelsea game. What will work against them, is that it will be their 3rd big game in 6 games. Sometimes that’s a lot even for United.
*in 6 days*
Oops, might have spoke too soon.
Lol @ Trust the Scot with Crystal Balls
Wouldn’t be surprised if they get another one and equalise, Gomez is keeping them in the game and keeping us in Second. Does anybody want to deny that Van Perse is a more then half decent Striker? Instant Impact, even if he is a Gunner? A Striker’s Striker all day long.
Even though he’s a rapist Van Persie is class. We should have signed him in 2004 when we had the chance.
What difference does it make whether we finish 2nd or 3rd?.both teams get automatic cl spot. We wont win the league so 2nd or 3rd hardly makes a difference
Spurs will bottle it
Shut up aig! Seriously just shut up. Your pessimism is just annoying at times. I can think of 3 reasons, money, don’t want to finish below l’arse and slap in the face to all the pundits saying we will finish 4th.
gooner lose
@Aig alex is god
Its not so impossible
We win 4 games and Chelsea draw with Spurs and the dippers
However..Spurs are bottlers…and the dippers will rest all their players for the Europa League and will lose on purpose to stop us winning number 19
@ The Lawman, Hi mate may I call you Dennis*? lol I like the idea of the Liverpool boot room policy, it was there most sucessfull era.Thank Christ they ditched it.I dont know enough about Ole* To comment on moving up, my fear would be the Euro arena and dealing with the financial mismanagement, the club faces. WE are going to have to face turbulent waters yet, can someone with such limited experience do this, i suspect not.
There are as you know Dennis many names in the pot, could we not look at our current asistants, to take up the reins as custodians.
I just dont think any of our previous heroes Eg Bruce Keane Robson etc etc have proven themselves at the clubs they have managed in England, so no thanks. Tell please what are your views.
I told you costas, wille, and the Reds go Marching On On On
@AIG
I still have a little hope about the league, but to be quite honest, it wouldn’t be too flattering if United finished below this Arsenal team.
I will say this to you reds
Beat small club mentality at lunch time and I tell you Chelsea are going to take a thrashing in the evening
Mark my words
That Rose fella looks about 9 years old lol, he’s a Legend for them now.
Perfect result really, Spurs will be up for it after FINALLY beating Arsenal, and Arsenal will remain firmly in 3rd. Great stuff, now can we PLEASE kick the shit out of City? You never know, Chelsea are so SHIT they might drop some points you never know. We’ll see after the weekend, preferably with Berbatov scoring and Tevez NOT scoring, sick of seeing him staring at the Camera like “I told you so” after putting it in the back of our net. WE KNOW WE KNOW…..
Aig: Cant believe you posted that about 2nd or 3rd place….if we don’t win the premiership i wouldn’t want to let other lesser teams like Shitty, Gooners or the fucking dippers finish above us….. Fuck me fella that’s just not on…lol
@redscot
Lol, there is still some way to go, but on Saturday we have to scratch Spurs’ backs and vice versa. Lets do each other a favour and see where it takes us…
@notorious
wow.so what do we achieve finishing above arsenal and not winning the league?.its not that we earn 10
times more of arsenal if we finish 2nd. The pundits can fuck themselves.i dont give a damn what they say.
@sayyid
thats the reason i feel we wont win the league even if we win all our games.the dippers have nothing to play for and spurs were under the cosh for long periods against an understrength gooners side
first we must beat the inform teams in city and sunderland away from home.
@ Costas, spurs probably have a greater chance of nicking points from the rents than the dippers. To be honest playing too many games shouldn’t be too much of an obstacle for them because Redknapp made heaps of changes and early subs. Momentum is there but I can’t see it happening unless Gomez denies Chelsea for 90 minutes then we may be looking at a draw.
I think it’s important to finish second, don’t want the arse to finish above us and more importantly, to finish the season as strongly as possible. @redscot Yous robbed us Kenny hit the post twice lucky beggers lol
@tonybee
you think differently.if we dont win the league all i want is an automatic cl spot.we dont get anything special for finishing above the gooners,do we?.
@aig
fuck me, that entire statement hinges upon the fact that we have zero chance to win the premiership. while it may still be a long shot it certainly isn’t all over yet. it’s a hell of a lot easier for us to only be concerned about chelsea’s results than both chelsea and arsenal. you sound like one of those twats that leaves the game in the 85th minute when united are down a goal.
Many Utd fans say one player they would like at this club from Arsenal is Fabregas. I would pick Van Persie over him any day, he can change a game completely with just a few touches. They have missed him badly.
You didn’t win much in life did you Aig – Fuck me people with terminal illnesses have more optimism than you. If you can’t see why finishing as high up the league as possible isn’t a positive than you’re quite simply a moron for the simple fact United fans only have to take stick of one London team instead of 2. Make sure you have Samaritans on speed dial.
@Fze123
I hope they have something in the tank, because this has been a hectic week for them. And I can’t understand why Spurs are playing again on Saturday while Arsenal play on Sunday.
I don’t have much hope for the dippers either. By then, they will have lost the battle for 4th spot and they will host Atletico 3 days before they host Chelsea. It’s ill advised to expect teams to drop points this late in the season unfortunately. Our chances are limited, but lets see if we can make the most of them.
COME ON LADS – THOSE BOTTLIN BASTARDS GOTTA GO LIVERPOOL AND TOTTENHAM
PLUS THEY PLAY WIGAN AND STOKE AT HOME (DONT LAUGH)
IF WE STOP FUCKING ABOUT AND WIN OUR REMAINING GAMES THEY JUST NEED TO SLIP UP TWICE AND YOU NEVER KNOW WITH THOSE DODGY BASTARDS THEY SHOULDVE DROPPED POINTS AT THE BRIDGE AGAINST BOLTON DONT FORGET. RICARDO FULLER MIGHT SURPISE US ALL, AND THAT SOUTH AMERICAN FELLA AT WIGAN FINISHED OFF LIVERPOOL….
SO HAVE FAITH LADS DONT GIVE UP ON OUR TITLE JUST YET.
BEATING POOL AND SPURS AT HOME ISNT EXACTLY GUARANTEED FOR CHELSEA.
IF THEY DRAW TWICE AND AND WE WIN OUR REMAINING GAMES….
….AND WE CATCH UP ON GOAL DIFFERENCE…..
YOU NEVER KNOW STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED, AND TOTTENHAM WANT THAT FOURTH SPOT…. IF CHELSEA GET TWO NIL NIL DRAWS, OR A LOSS AND A DRAW….
DONT GIVE UP LADS. AND ON THAT NOTE.
Someone said Roses goal was good thats an understatement, it was a fooking screamer, thanks Spurs, now do it again against the rentboys.
@ Costas, hi mate hope yer well and heating humble pie, lol joking of course.I know but if they play half as well and get stuck in on Saturday of course they can do it. I think the Spuds did tonight what Everton did to us at Goodison, and Barcelona did to Arsenal at the Camp nou, got on the oppositions faces and harried and harresed them.
Just keep everything crossed mate it aint over yet, Spuds for 4th, Scum to demolish Chelrent. Simples its not over yet!
Away to pub, and I wont communicate with Fred later, lol soz mate it was just a bit fun.
Wigan Costas – Wigan will need to win to stay up so if Spurs do something then great. Not much to hope for but at least we can focus on winning games and hoping 1 team slips up instead of 2. What a kick in the teeth it would be if l’arse won tonight and chelski dropped points only for the goons to win the league.
@AIG finishing 2nd(still praying for a miracle for the league) means at least we dont have to play two potentially tricky and frankly tiresome qualification games at the start of next season, I think that’s incentive enough dont you?
@Fze123
I’ll second that. Van Persie is quality! He has dynamite in that left boot. Arsenal looked a different team when he came on. Like Saha he is injury prone though.
@ AIG, it’s about pride really. Also, how seriously stupid would it be to see Arsenal, who we beat twice, finish ubove us? It’s just not right. It would also be something for Arsenal fans to brag about.
@costas
thats good mate.city are possibly due a result having been painfully defeated twice. First we have to win that one and then look out for chelseas results
Just wanted to know if there is anything special apart from an automatic cl spot we get for finishing 2nd that i am not aware of?
Costas – Igotto ay aint it a shame we are a bit behind in the table, even though spurs beat arsenal I think it is 2 late now it is a same but it is too late well in my eyes we have blown it we have had so many chaces to be top and it was in our fucking hands
@reddevilzadvocate
incase you dont know.the top 3 automatically qualify.only 4th place team has to go through the qualification phase
I rate RVP very highly and would love to see him at United, alas don’t think it will ever happen.
RVP good player but he will not improve united
@ willierednut – Agreed mate about the same chance as seeing Torres in a United shirt, cue abuse.
@Notorious
Wigan have caused them a few hicups in the past, so yeah, lets keep our eyes open for that one. It’s a shame Brucey isn’t managing them anymore, because I would have more confidence in them. Now it’s hard to know what to expect from them. But I always say that at this stage, teams fighting to avoid relegation can be pretty tough.
@AIG
As Fze123 said, it’s more about pride really. Plus you won’t to leave the season on a high note and with some promise for next season. I hated it when we kind of threw the towel in in the 03-04 and 04-05 seasons.
@notorious
calm down.
i live far away in india mate. I am gonna get stick anyways because half of my friends are chelsea fans and nearly other half liverpool(having a great time ripping them apart).hardly a few arsenal fans
as soon as the rentboys wrat up the league i am gonna go into hiding for a month or two.
I think the fact that people talk about Berbatov all the time no matter what the discusions shows that he is a United player after all,
Hated, Adored but never ignored = )
RTNK – Of course he would improve United, quality players usually do improve any team.
@RTNK
So many “what ifs” mate. There were times in the season when Chelsea were sending a gift and we were sending it back. And I started worrying after we drew at Villa and they lost at Everton. I know that Nani saw red, but that was a glorious chance to go top and capitalise on how crap Chelsea were at the time.
@fze123
oh ok.i get it mate.i know arsenal have had their problems but given the circumstances we have gone through this year i am not too disappointed with our season.surely we can only get better and we will next season
Van Persie hey? In an ideal world, would like to have him at United. Just like Xavi of Barca. It’s a shame that some players could never play for us.
Costas – agreed about us throwing in the towel, and when united have been on the verge of losing title like 2002 and 2004 the amount defeats is insane when you look at united how awesome they were in 2003 how can you go from then to that. 2004 will always be the most hurtful season when you look how bad united were in march april 2004, and how exciting they were in 2003 in march april where all the games came thick and fast
United to beat City on saturday
Spurs will be buzzing and can really really get a tight grip on 4th due to the bitter been defeated
Liverpool will win United there 19th league title
@costas
dont even mention those years.really ‘dark days’.
willierednut – well look at players of quality of veron and berbatov they were supposed to improve united but it has not been the case, RVP I have never been totaly convinced with, he has done nothing great and has been a player who has a reputation without showing it much on the pitch because of injury attitude etc, he has yet to really take the premiership by storm in my view.
re redscott………………you may call dennis if you wish, or lawman is fine by me,
folllowing fergie well thats a hard one & looking round I dont think any ex united players have steped up to the mark.
as for ole? well barca promoted from within and they have done ok, have they not?
but for the life of me I cannot see anyone out there who could take up the reins?
so do we go with ole?
@AiG

Read the third paragraph from the top
@Aig – Fair enough.
It all boils down to this weekend. The players shouldn’t need any motivation to play the bitters, but if they do they should try and return the favour to Spurs by beating them and consolidating 2nd place asap. Spurs motivation is 4th place, the cup has gone and if they finish 5th its a season to waste so believe you me their players will be up for it. Not just that but its also a derby game, cracking set of fixtures on Saturday. Come on lads if nothing else lets play for bragging rights!!!
@RTNK
01-02 and 03-04 hold the record for most United defeats during the Pr.League era with 9. In 01-02 we started awfuly bad and came back in the second half of the season, but it was too late. What can I say about 03-04? We just lost Beckham, yet we were on our way to win the title when Rio got suspended. After that, the wheels came off. After we beat Arsenal at Villa Park(the highlight for me of that season) we just didn’t put much effort in the league and the race to finish second. Same for 04-05.
@rtnk
no use crying over spilt milk.we have blown chances this year we would have taken last 2 years.sure we will be much better next season.its the defeats to villa and burnley where we had a good enough team to win the game that may cost us in the end
@ AIG, I agree. We will go into next season superior than Arsenal, who don’t have the money to buy the players they need, or Chelsea who need to rebuild from scratch because they simply can’t compete for the title with the players they currently have. If Chelsea win the League and Barca win the CL then I will disconnect with the world – no internet or TV until september. Although people will probably still be wanking over them.
Speaking of Barca, has anyone seen Pedro’s goal? Freakish,
it made me think its the date the titanic hit the iceberg and started to sink wenger will be getting that title sinking feeling
League not over yet at all. A lot of if’s but if we can beat Citeh , which we could on our day with ease, and Spurs play like owt like that tonight it will be down to one point. The dippers game looks the obvious one but don’t discount Stoke. Not great away from home but not easy either. The Rentboys were very lucky last night. They were awful. As I say alot of if’s but not impossible.
I actually think Ole is a good shout. Knows the game inside out. It has done ok for Barca.
@redscot
Oops, sorry, I forgot to say hi. Don’t worry. I am keeping everything crossed, lol. Have fun.
@notorious
no doubt spurs will be up for it but with the refreeing leniency towards the chelsea players i feel they will scrape through .honestly hope spurs finish 4th and if we win our derby on saturday it could affect chelsea and make them drop points. If the refreeing is unbiased spurs are in with a good chance
It is fucking VITALLY important we finish above those southern fairy gooner cunts.
@AIG
Yeah, tell me about it. Really dark days. Maybe it will give some fans percpective that it’s not all doom and gloom this season.
King Eric – hey WB king how have u been, well if we fail to win like jigsaw says GAME OVER
Paul Parker – Wigan have also done Chelsea this season, not just the dippers.
@lawman10 – so did the dippers and it failed once they got to Evans. We did in the 60s which I’m sure you’re aware with Wilf McGuiness and he fucked as up big time. Thats what the elderly gentleman was explaining to me before the Bayern game/half time. Its worked for Barcelona because the level of reserve team football is higher than England their reserves can play in our equivalent of the Championship if I’m not mistaken. Whoever gets the job will have a lot of pressure and we can’t listen to the tabloids like we have done a certain player and we all need to get behind him for AT LEAST a season. The fans won’t have a say, Sir Alex has gone on record saying he won’t have a say. It’ll be down to David Gill and god forbid the parasites.
There’s been plenty of speculative rubbish about transfer activity these past few days.
Stephen Ireland? Who dug up this nonsense – if he ain’t good enough for City there’s no way he’d be good enough for UTD.
RM to sell Benzema for £17m. Why would they come out with a figure when his sale may generate an auction? We know RM need to sell so they are to finance new players – De Maria and Silva – but I don’t believe KB will go for anything less than £25m.
Gibson to replace Scholes? I see Fergie is alleged to have made a comment of this sort but this is nonsense. He isn’t creative enough and he never will be. Scoring a goal every now and then doesn’t mean he’s a good enough MF. UTD still need creative quality in MF plus a Essien type player for when Fergie plays 4-3-3.
With the season coming to an end I expect we’ll be reading a lot more of this crap.
rtnk – Cheers mate.
@reddevilzadvocte
but chelsea never played any qualifiction games this season??
RTNK – Com’on now, thats a bit harsh mate he’s been one of the best strikers in the premiership along with Rooney and Drogba for the last couple of years. Leaving Berba alone, Veron couldn’t handle the pace of the premiership, but RVP has scored goals for Arsenal and i’m sure his assists isn’t too shabby either.
I’d feel ashamed if the gooners finish above us and it means that we wouldn’t have been out of the top two for the last 5 years.
King Eric – the thought of seeing those dick fucking cheats lift the premiership makes me sick, can anyone explain what sick god give chelsea all these breaks damn KARMA Cmon bitch help united out here it is imoral seeing that lot lift the leaue title its like pissing in holy grail. is GOD really that sick of has he been convinced by satan to gove chelsea the title.
willierednut – RVP is a good player but he is a tad overated, I do not see him has a player who would improve united a good player but I would not take him in a million years
Fair enough AIG, I didn’t remember that, just say it on the uefa website. All in all, we still have to finish 2nd at least if for nothing, for pride’s sake.
I think Ole assisting Fergie’s successor is far more realistic and reasonable. Tactically Ole’s the man but the perfect next step would be becoming the number 2 for a number of years and then time will tell if he is able to manage the club.
@costas
i still remember those years.we dominated games at home,used to hit the post 10 times but just couldnt score.had so many frustrating goalless draws.there were times like the boro game(4 1 defeat) when we just collapsed without any fight.shaky defending also used to cost us
The current scenario is nothing compared to those years.
Van Persie is not overrated. If he goes to the World Cup people will see that. Thats all I have left to say about any l’arse players tonight.
@reddevilzadvocate
honestly speaking we should finish 2nd if we dont win the league.i can see arsenal dropping points in atleast 2 of their remaining 4 games which are tricky
I would say Aguero and Higuain are over – rated and wouldn’ t last in the premiership, but we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
brisbane red – disagree mate about Gibson as I have posted on the Hargreaves thread. He has every chance to make a top midfielder at United. Can pass the ball, puts his foot in, a big strong lad and can find the net. People say his positional play is bad but I disagree. Whenever the wing backs get forward he is the one that drops back and he also is good at making forward runs. Needs a decent run in the team. “only” scoring is some positive to have. He has hardly played this season and has scored 5 or 6 screamers. Not to be sniffed at. He was quality in Europe last week. Is only 22 mate. Look at Fletcher and Becks at that age.
and I have been dreading going on the media sites since I know we may see a wank fest on the average overated chelsea, but united being linked with a 15 million pound bid for some lyon keeper does anyone know who he is I never have confidence signing young keepers.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1266040/Manchester-United-prepared-pay-15million-land-Lyon-stopper-Hugo-Lloris.html
God if you think the early 2000′s were “dark days” you should have been around in the eighties. At least there were FA cups and a certain European Cup Winners Final though.
@AIG
Yeah, this has been a transitional season, those were 3 transitional years. It seemed like once Roy Keane started being less dominating, so did United. Plus, Rio still hadn’t matured and Edwin was still at Fulham. Some good attackers though. Forlan, Saha, Ruud, Smith and a young Wayne.
@ RTNK, God will give Chelsea the title this season only because John Terry will be assasinated in South Africa, bombs will be detonated in the FA HQ’s, a nuclear missile will be dropped on the Wembley pitch wiping the whole stadium out and we will win the double next season.
rtnk – Yeah he looks a decent keeper the few times I have seen him. Nowt special though.
Costas – I wouldn’ t say they were dark days, we still finished in the top 3. Now the 70s and 80s, they were dark days when the scum dominated English football.
Just doesn`t seem right that Chelsea might now easily win the double this year.
on another note arsenal have some nerve hoping barcelona not bid forr fabrigas, first of all fabrigas should be barcelona property arsenal have been like african poachers going in there and stealing fabrigas, it still disturbs me how arsenal can claim they created fabrigas when barcelona have proved they bring through world class talent does xavi iniesta and messi come to my mind
“John Terry will be assasinated in South Africa”
ha ha fucking quality line.
@King Eric
Well, the 80s were dark times for any club used to being at the top. The early 2000s were dark times when you compare them to the ridiculous high standards that the club set in 98-01 and 06-10. I don’t think any United fans’ generation will be as spoilt as the one that grew up watching us in the 90s and 00s. And that includes me if course.
@willierednut
Agreed. I elaborate a bit in a post above. I’ve always said that United fans that grew up in the 70s and 80s deserve to cherish our current success more than those that came along later.
That was gutting start of 2004/05 I thought we had the best strikers in the league with Ruud, Rooney, Saha and Smith. It just never got going when one left the injury table the other one got on. Its all good raving about the youngsters but some will end up like the Fledglings others like Richardson. Not sure which ones which yet but the only way Gibson will end up lie Richardson is if the fans get on his back. I have a lot of faith in the players we have and we can’t have another injury hit season again. We need to start playing the youngsters they aren’t going to get better by being in the squad and not in the team. Play Rafael irrespective of mistakes, a certain G Neville made two shocking howlers in 2 minuts in the same game vs Vasco da Gama. He soon learnt.
King Eric – I agree 2004 2005 they were just if I made a medephore they were a real bad stomachs not cancer years, the 70s 80s and even some of the late 50s early 60s were dark years, the years of 2004 and 2005 were just dodgy or in another sentance a blip phew years not dark years, 2006 I would rank a special and the start of another cycle of great succcess and the most enjoyable years in terms of shoving it down pundits and media’s throats because fergie was written off.
one game I loved was in january 2006 when united played samba football against wolves away when united won 3 1, when rooney van nistlerooy and saha were linking up sensationally did anyone think in early 2006 like I did we would do something special over the next phew years I was convinced if the midfield was sorted we would be unstoppable.
@RedDevilzAdvocate
http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/index.html
Click on the teams by round and see if you can find Chelsea anywhere before Group Stages, as they finished 3rd last season. There is no qualifying round for 3rd place, only a two legged play-off for the 4th placed team (Arsenal vs Celtic this season with Eduardo’s famous dive)
Did anyone see Sunday supplement, apparently Fergies losing the plot because shock horror, he played Rooney and called Munich typical Germans. I expect the jurnos to have that mentality, but when some of our fans repeat it on here and on talksport it’s disappointing.
@RTNK
At the time, I was just happy that we were going back to attractive football. Don’t remember much from January of 2006. After that Rio winner against the dippers in the 91st minute, everything else is a blur.
rtnk – 06/07 was a fantastic season. Proper free flowing football and the fact we were back for our title.
@willie and king eric
luckily i wasnt born in 70s or early 80s.started following in 01.if you consider from that period 03-05 was really disastrous.05-06 was somewhat better
Furthermore, that cunt Ian Mcgarry was doing most of the shit talking, banging on about England, he’s fooking Scotish!
@rtnk
more than sorting of the midfield we needed a decent keeper,good defence and someone to really step it up which ronny did.the decision to keep him in the summer of 06 was the turning point and also the signings of vidic and paddy evra
Costas – because it is so expensive going to watch united I don’t go much but the united fulham game in feb 2006 when united won 4 2 was a mad game, that was when I loved seeing united outscore teams but leak goals the other end. I remember in feb 2006 united lost 1 0 to Liverpool in FA cup and the next day on talkshit Rodney marsh and Breenturner were on at 4 they were saying have Liverpool overtaken united has the second best team in England, did anyone remember that show in feb 2006 2 days after the defeat at anfield.
King Eric – all of 2006 united played free flowing football and that team of 05/06 had more problems than even more than the squad of today, especially trying to overcome the humiliation of the groupstage exit in CL and lack of trophys with that team. I remember Durham on our defeat on talkshit at benfica in dec 2005 how they all took the total piss out of fergie and united I was pissed off royally
I remember when the Rentboys just crumbled completely in the 05/06 season just months before the end of the season, where they dropped a heap amount of points and that put life back into us and we burst into a great form. It’s a pity it was too late. Chelsea winning the league this season will hurt more than when they won it two years on the trot, because of the fact that they have not been the best team in England this year and because the FA are ensuring they win the title, not the Chelsea players nor Ancelotti. Now that Rooney’s back lets just give it a good go. As I have said before it’s been worthwhile seeing us prove we can cope without Ronaldo, seeing us cope with injuries and seeing the likes of Nani, Rooney and Gibson stepping up to the plate. At least we will end up with a trohpy, unlike Arsenal and Shitty.
This guy from Lyon looks a good keeper, don’t think he’s worth 15 million though.
We do need a talented keeper. VDS will only be here for next season I reckon, and I have a feeling Foster will be sold in the summer.
Aig – no 2003 was a great year overall, our classic ties with the fascist winning the league seeing arsenal collapse in April 2003 van nistlerooy on fire scholes a genius with his hatrick at St James park. Stuffing the Scots at OT and outsmarting them at IBROX. At the end of 2003 united had a 4 pt gap at the top of the table. 2006 was also a great year all year round, our return to fast lush counter attacking football, seeing ronaldo roomy start the title success which would follow in 2007. it was 2004 and 2005 where it was dire. and 06/07 squad had holes you cant get a flawless squad but if united patch up and sort the midfield out then the striker situation will sort itself out, and the defence has potential it is reshaping the defence, but overall the spine of the squad will need to be rebuilt over the next phew years.
But PPL must stop saying 2003 and 2006 were horrible years when they were awesome years to be a united supporter. Just because 2003 and 2006 would dove tail with 2004 and 2005 does not mean the overall years of 2003 and 2006 were great years. hey I loved the year 2002 because the team was still one of fergie’s best squads he ever built and the first half of 2002 the football was awesome
oh yes in 2006 we won the league cup which would lead to a mountain of trophys collected
Fze123 – Yeah, we won 9 games in a row that season, really putting the pressure on Chelsea and then we went and drew with Sunderland at OT, 0 0 i think it finished.
RTNK – That league cup was important for Rooney and Ronaldo, it gave them a taste of winning and they never looked back after that.
@ The Law man, Mate I respect your pedigree your a .legend not being disrespectfull, your question I think was who will take over from SAF, you suggested OLE*, I think I gave reasons why not. And acknowleged other failed X Manchester United stars who have failed as managers, who are not in the frame.
Rightly you point out Josep Gaurdialo Sala, thats the exception rather than the rule mate.In fairness i also asked you for your choice or your opinion on whom should take custodial charge through this turbulent time.
Or are we so low we gotta go for the basement bucket, you dismissed my comment step up Rene or Mike.
Anyone for a Martin MoaNeil.
willierednut – it must be me but on that day with sunderland in april 2006 something was weird and not quiet right in the air I must be paranoid. I do not know if it was the atmosphere or we were to over confident we would cake walk the game with sunderland who were dead in the water that they wanted to prove a point, at the time I had seen scary movie 4 in the cinema on the day united drew 0 0 with sunderland, it had this weird weather it was sunny but I had this gut feeling something would go badly wrong the conditions seemed so weird.
yea it was but if anyone downs 2006 go look at the whole season of 2006 the football was awesome and it was a taste of another treat the boss had in store for us
@ willie 23.16 grrrrrrrrrrrr, lol. no so balanced as me and way way smarter and miles more articulate, so fuck off and Kenny is a cunt from Edinboro hibbee i think ohhh no wait he wore a Tattie muncher shirt too, lmao Willie I am Cathloic yer winning nuffin, other than a smirnoff or fucking raging time in my and mates boozer.
The 2006-2007 season was one hell of a season. Sad to say but I had started to become used to us not winning the league. I think I just did not expect us to start clicking at this point. And it was also the season where Ronaldo became the player he is
I have high hopes with regards to Nani next season. I know many people hate the comparison with Ronaldo, but I believe next season Nani might become what Ronaldo was for us in 2006-2007. You just feel he`s right at the tipping point right now.Speaking of which, I can`t wait for Scott to put the interview with him on ROM
@ willierednut, that draw really hurt, I expected us to thrash them at the time. They got relegated that season, which hurts even more, because the point they gained didn’t turn out to be the saving grace.
@ redscot, It’s a pity that Martin O’Neill totally blew the chance to show that he should be in consideration for Fergie’s successors. The only good thing he did was buy Dunne. Other than that his team bottled it big time, as per usual. He should have prevented that from happening.
@ fze agreed i was taking the piss about Oknell. he is a money grabbing twat that manages his team with the long ball ( and moolah)and as a limited squad in fairness to the man. I think neither Lerner nor Oneil have faith in each other, Mate look at The Villa players who are not playing and think, its costing that club 100000s per week.
Its just a wee piss take.
Nani’s performance against Bayern showed just why he is made for Utd. The hunger, determination and efficiency he put in is something we as Utd fans should be proud of. It nearly brought a tear to my eye. He was pretty woeful in the first tie but at OT he was the best player on the pitch, bar none. Of all players to turn up, it was him. In the league, we all noticed that when he has a poor first half he comes back on fire in the second and improves his performance. His attitude has changed to the better which is one of the best things to happen to a winger of his age at this stage of his career. I actually hope he outperforms Ronaldo in the WC. He truly deserves more recognition and credit. Having a good WC would make up for missing out on the CL and possibly missing out on the League.
Fze123 says: “It’s a pity that Martin O’Neill totally blew the chance to show that he should be in consideration for Fergie’s successors.”
How is it a pity? He’s done us a favour by proving that he is not up to the job of managing United. CAn you imagine if we appointed that useless prat as our manager? Villa are shite. It’s an absolute travesty that they took 4 points off us this season, our players should be ashamed of themselves for that.
@ Fze right on the cash, he is one of my favourite 21 players, and I cant dream of him tonite, although he will cross my mind, I got my bedroom plastered with the team and photos. well said though mate. 21 steps to heaven my girl friend in the home kit. I am a lucky lucky boy, just wait mate I got the vision of the Christ, we can do this . its all to do with faith. nite nite boys and lassies, onto Wastelands
Just fuckin Believe On On On
@Fze123
Exactly the way I feel about him too. I was doubly disappointed with the result against Bayern because I felt that this night should have belonged to Nani, just like the previous night had belonged to Messi. All our lads were giving their all, but Nani was just magnificent that night.
Even after we had been reduced to 10 men,he was still trying to press Bayern’s defence and GK,kept on sprinting even though he had already scored 2 amazing goals. I never saw Ronaldo being as selfless as Nani was that night.
All in all I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t be optimistic for next year. Hargreaves and Anderson will be like two new signings
@ Fred, well Martin O’Neill does tick the right boxes; Irish (likely to stay a club for a long time), experience in the PL, friends with SAF etc but he really let him self down because of the lack of belief and confidence he injects into his team, the rubbish defensive football he gets them playing and how they burst out of good form instantly. Yet they still beat us, the dippers and the rentboys this season. Moyes has been far more impressive, as we all agree. Our players have a lot to be ashamed out of, not just Villa nicking 4 points off us this season. Failing to score against Blackburn despite all the posession and going into the Chelsea game at OT like we were 10 points clear at the top of the table plus that woeful first half performance is way more shameful.
@ redscot, good night mate. Just don’t wet the bed while dreaming of Nani,
@ Che Guevarist, yeah spot on. I think, had we progressed through, we would have been still talking about Nani’s performance until now. Even though our exit was pretty hard to take by the players and fans there will always be Nani’s peformance to look back on and smile about, and we will remember how the team set about going on to win from the start, no fucking about, just got on with their jobs. Proper Utd. Anyway, there is plenty to look forward to next season. With Hargo, Brown and Ando back we will be safe defensively and with extra options, incase we suffer from another defence crisis, because one of these 3 would probably do a better job in defence than Fletch and Carrick did. Rio, Vida and Evans are all injury prone so getting injured is inevitable.
Spurs did a good job of holding off the Arsenal charge…
I hope they hold off Chelsea, maybe even win it. Dippers have to have that last charge for 4th unless those idiots ‘conserve’ their energies for the Europa League (You know, their last chance at silverware). Who knows? This season has been full of ups and downs, we can always hope for it to be an up when the final whistle is heard on May 9th.
It’s really painful though seeing that we need to depend on the other teams to help us. If only the linesman wasn’t blind…
Good morning guys. At least here at my place it is morning.
I don’t know what to make of the Tottenham vs. Arsenal result. They are now one point adrift of the 4th place. But even if they hadn’t beaten Arsenal yesterday they would have been in contention for this elusive 4th spot and their game against Chelsea would have still been important.
I am not sure if we manage to beat City on Saturday but it’s a must for us not to lose our last chances of winning the league and bring Liverpool into contention as well.
PS. Scott, is it possible to organize a vote whether we want Benzema or not at the club. He is a great player in terms of talent but i am not sure i want him at the club. Anyway we bought Michael Owen so it won’t be the end of the world.
@corea
i vote no for benzema…coz if we keep buying new striker when will our own young striker like macheda and wellbeck got the chance to prove themselves,..also benzema rejected us once,so you dont want to look desperate to keep asking when someone already say no to you..right?
Morning All!
Got a spring in my step today after watching that last night. Was very impressed with Spurs. Modric was fantastic especially considering he played 120 minutes on the weekend. Great player with a fantastic football brain..
@ Corea, hope you are well mate, good post as normal, personally I would like Benzema, I know Scott has pointed to the fact he turned us down, but his advisor was a Mr Z. Zidane, who loves Real probably a bit too much. He is a young kid who was mis advised, I can forgive him that. If Fergie got hold of him I’m sure we would have one of the most powerful, feared strike forces in the world.
@Walk in the Park – agree. but as i said for a couple of times already Fergie’s assessment of the young players and the way he gives them chances to promote to the first team is pretty much a secret to me. It depends on what kind of addition mexican player will be, Berba’s and Owen’s fortune etc.
Sell Berbatov
Buy Dzeko.
Otherwise we have plenty of quality just waiting to make its way up the ranks.
We might have to bite the bullet and let a bunch of young guys take front and center in the first team next season but develop their mental toughness with 1 or 2 senior players leading them out like the Fledglings.
Whatever the case may be some of the older guys will have to make room. And Macheda could pack Berbatov’s luggage for him. At 18 Kiko might be making the mistake of wanting to hang on to the ball too long, but other than that he seems to have positional sense, vision, semi decent passing and good shooting boots. And the kid is built like a fucking tank. It’s very premature but I see shades of Totti (The good qualities mind you) in him already.
Benzema may have turned us down but he is a top talent and SAF will get the best out of him i am sure. Berbatov turned us down too in 2006, yet we went after him in 2008 and got him. Its not about whether he turned us down. he has realised probably that real is not a club where he can fulfil his potential and that he made a mistake. Still only 22. Better late than never. I would like to see one of Dzeko or benzema but if this chicaritho guy is good than i dont mind even if we dont sign anyone but we have to ensure that we have a plan B next season and if a striker or two gets injured we can cope with it especially in wazzas case
How much potential Hernandez has will be known soon. If he initially plays for the reserves it means SAF expects him to develop. If he straight away gets in the first team squad then SAF is sure he can make a difference and can perform at this level
@stretfordender – Benzema-Rooney partnership would certainly be magical. It would also give Fergie another striker to play 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 as much as am not fond of this formations.
I am a romanticist and would have wanted to play with youth and the players we have at our disposal but it is pretty much obvious we would have to find an AM and be sure players like Gibson would develop into strong squad players and we would finally see Hargo on the playing field in that case.
I certainly don’t find attractive possibily of seing us suffer again.
@aig alex is god – hi mate. Berba’s and Benzema’s cases were pretty much different.
As i understood Hernandez is a player who uses both feet and i wonder whether he can play on the left wing sometimes. Not sure though.
http://www.imscouting.com/global-news-article/Palermo-launch-loan-bid-for-Manchester-United-striker-Macheda/7120/
Palermo looking to loan Macheda in the summer. NoooOOOooo…
Italian high-fliers Palermo will look to lure young Manchester United forward Federico Macheda this summer, according to the Daily Star.
18 year-old Macheda burst onto the scene last season with a dramatic late goal against Aston Villa and has since been handed limited opportunities by Sir Alex Ferguson. Macheda started for Manchester United during last weekend’s game at Blackburn Rovers, as Ferguson’s attacking options have been limited with Wayne Rooney , Michael Owen and Danny Welbeck all injured.
According to the Daily Star, Palermo attempted to arrange a loan deal for Macheda during the January transfer window and will renew their interest this summer. Palermo are locked in a battle with Sampdoria for the fourth and final Champions League spot in Italy and should Maurizio Zamparini’s side seal qualification it would surely help to lure Macheda.
Sir Alex Ferguson will likely look to strengthen his attacking options over the summer, which could leave Macheda further down the OId Trafford pecking order. The Daily Star also comments that Manchester United will look to trim their wage bill and loaning out fringe players such as Macheda could help in this effort.
@redscot sorry for my reply been late had be at the airport last night pick up my daughter.
anyway I never ment to disrespect your comment…………………………I think we can forget mike for stepping up, now rene for me he is the dark horse, whenever you see fergie in the dugout he is always talking to rene & not mike.
by all accounts he is a well respected coach in europe, maybe the dream ticket is rene & ole?
If you cast your mind back to post busby, wilf McGuness who I happen to think he got a raw deal with regards to transfers, for example he had a list of players he wanted for club ie…alan ball,david nish, shilton,
he wanted to buld his side around george best & as we know he never got them.its what might of been.
so I would not rule out someone steping up from within
Morning everyone.
Sell Berbatov and buy Anichebe
@Corea
Hi mate.
I dont think we meed any more wingers. we have plenty of them and valencia and nani have been impressive. WE need 4 strikers . That was the formula SAF used in 08-09 and in 98-99 and i must say it worked well. so we have rooney, hernandez, owen and berba. We know that owen is a injury prone and berba is ageing too. Plus we like playing 4-5-1 which dosent suit dimis strengths to be honest. hence i want to see us buy one more striker who can complement rooney well and can lead the line comfortably in his absence. dzeko fits the bill well because he is a great header of the ball and valencia and nani do pump a lot of crosses in the box which ahs benefited wazza.
NANI on right, Obertan on left and Valencia in the middle. We need a midfielder who can score to replace Scholsey’s goals and Valencia plays in the middle for his national team and seems to do it well. Why not give it a go?
Ella
SAF launch 15m bid for Hugo Lloris according to daily mail..if its true this is the end of foster..
@ The Lawman, Good morning Dennis, lol.Absoloutly no need to say to say sorry about not replying quickly , I guess we are all not just scrolling the threads of ROM all day and night, as fascinating as it is, and have other things to attend to.
I agree with your observation regards who Sir Alex consults with during the games for thoughts, my view also is he always looks concerned(Muelensteen) when games are not going to plan during the game, so he has the passion for the club.
You may well have something there regards him and Ole together.There is a consensus of opinion as you know for Mourhnino, I favour that in a way there are advantages and disadvantages with that choice,Jose is a gamble from the point of view he always(Porto aside) spends a lot of cash for success.A great tactician though, but will NOT give youth a opportunity, or very seldom.If we can attract him, it will cost a lot of cash and he will wish to spend, but he will gaurentee us continued silverware,and a presence in the media, but sadly alienate us further from non United supporters.
Your suggestion is very credible though,I can see it and the very desirable continuity in the club.Its probably going to be the biggest decision the club are going to have to make in the foreseeable future other than the financial ones that will need to be faced.I see both going hand in hand,the new manager is going to have to deal with more than just managing the team, he is clearly going to have diplomatic skills on several levels to keep the ship on a steady course.
Mate I cant really comment on the era of Busby and Mcguiness, so there is no point in me bullshiting you there, its just not in my realm of knowledge.I hear what you are saying though, I shall take some time later and read a bit more on the net what you are meaning, thank you.
May I also mention Guus Hiddink,I think he is successful, proven on many levels and as we are aware in England, humble, media friendly,gives the impression not someone to fuck around with.I dont think he comes with animosity or hostility.I again believe he would give 100% to our cause.Its all subjective of course and many names will and should be considered.I feel ulimately European experience and juggling experince will be key if you get my drift, lol although what is evolving is not a laughing matter.
I am sorry if I have rattled on, its just I thought your post required the courtesy of a reply.
I must go and get some work done, or I will be availiable for the job, lmao.
Have a great day.
Sell Fletcher buy Noone because “I think at the moment midfield is not an issue for us because we have plenty of alternatives”
Good goal, glad he’s doing well in the reserves.
@redscot – you know, for the first time it seems like i understood everything that you’d put. LOL
BREAKING NEWS ON IRISH NEWSTALK
35million bid on the table for david villa
valencia wnt 40 bt united wont up the offer to 40
35 million and a chance to wear the number 7 shirt
i can see man city or real coming in with the extra 5 but here hoping villa would do a Berba and take the lower offer, and comeon 35million is mental money, and come to united if that happens but as it stands United offer 35 million for villa
Thanks GHTT. Interesting. Wasn’t there a rumor last summer that United would stop spending big amounts of money for players over 25? Or was that denied by Gill? Anyway, lets see where it goes. Villa might want to do a Silva and stay at Spain for all we know.
Oh and how generous of Don Fabio:
http://www.manutdtalk.com/capello-doesnt-blame-fergie-for-rooney-injury/1455/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ManutdtalkBlog+%28Man+Utd+Talk+Blog%29
Instead of apologising for being the reason that Rooney’s injury problems started, he is gracious enough not to blame Fergie. Great.
@ghtt
how reliable is that source????
There’s nothing on SSN lads, so don’t get your hopes up.
GHTT must be kidding.
Coul you imagine Villa and Rooney? God damn it, I just came in my pants a little.
@Corea your post @10.50,Do you realise how offensive that comment is? fortunately I am extremely good natured. I think, but possibly I am incorrect most people understand what I am writing/posting.I appreciate I often use my native tongue for the sake of humour,and to add a bit of fun to the comments.
I really believe its not fair to try and take the piss out of my command of the English language.
But thank you for your pop at me, however stupid it makes you look.Just be gratefull I dont type in Gaelic!.I take the time and effort to read everyones posts and enjoy them all, some I dont understand, or think they are native speakers/writers, but I would never ever critizise someones ability to communicate.
Dunno about comments from Gill, but Fergie just commented on the matter a couple of days back, saying signing a 27 yr old for 30+mil was a one off for the club as theres no resale value for the player then.. Or maybe it was just him playing his usual games with the media
Anyways, cant see the Villa transfer coming through. Real/City will outbid us, plus it was reported he wanted 200,000 in weekly wages.. Guess only City/Chelsea/Madrid can afford those kind of salaries.
@redscot – i didn’t even think of critisizing your manner of posting. on the contrary i was taking the piss out of myself and my ability to understand what is written here sometimes. that post wasn’t meant to offend you in any way. i enjoy your posts very much. sorry if it offended you.
@Corea Oh okay mate,I just thought I was getting some malice aimed at me from within.Its just I feel sometimes with peoples ego’s, they like to score cheap points at weaker opponents.That simply is not my way, the opposite in fact.I apologise if I misread the intent. For you benifit Corea I will defenitely try and be clear as crystal from now on, although I am quite sure some of my posts will still be delivered a bit muddy.lol.
I am off the blog for the day, away to do some shopping,I only have a tiny tiny village shop for food and its extremely expensive so I go to the closest supermarket in the Highland capital of Scotland.
Have a great day mate, and enjoy the discussions on the”departure of Wayne” lol
@redscot – it’s a load off my mind. had a terrible day yesterday, the last i needed was to make someone feel bad. i wouldn’t have been able to visit the blog if we didn’t clear the issue.
have a nice day as well.
@ corea, come on mate we have one thing in common that is all we love our Club, I would never want anyone to feel bad because of my comments( unless they are totally disrespecting our players or club) its just my passion, i have witnessed yours often and genuinely i felt good. I hope you had a great day, I had a shit one as per normal around people who are so unfriendly that’s city live I am told.
I am man enough at 18 to take it on the chin.
Hope where ever you are mate you catch the match either in the ground a Pub at home wherever, just shout yer fucking heart out mate.
Believe Just fucking cunting Believe it aint over Shitty 0 Reds 3
@redscot
“I am man enough at 18 to take it on the chin.”
surely it is not true. ) anyway if you are serious you have a lot of interesting years ahead of you
@Corea Care to enlarge upon, what you mean?.
redscot – here we go again. i was saying about your age. don’t believe you are 18
@Corea .”here we go again” pmsl. tell me my age then?lol
@redscot – you are a person of a strange age.
@Corea,lol I am a person of a strange age? please before one of us Dies explain what that riddle means!
@redscot – see ya
@ corea, yer leaving. shame.and i could have had fun with you, bye. get some Balls type to me in main thread and accuse me of what you have done so far. lmao
