PICTURE: Another Award For Berba

April 1, 2011 58 Comments

Back in December the Premier League presented Dimitar Berbatov with an award to recognise him being the first striker to 10 goals.

Three months later, Berbatov has been given an award for being the first striker in the league to 20 goals.

Within those 20 goals, he’s scored three hat-tricks, joining only Alan Shearer and Ruud Van Nistlerooy in a list of just three players to manage that feat in one season.

    Way to go,Berb! Hope to see him rack up the 30th golden boot as well cuz i’m quite optimistic he’s gonna increase his tally before the season is over. Here’s to hoping the headless chicken sitting on a time bomb in the wastelands is gonna break his two legs and spend the rest of the year on a surgeon’s table. ;)

    We love you Berba…… On the bench or on the field you are a United player and I am sure you take pride in that….

    Best first touch of any football player in the world

    Well done Dimitar! And thank you! Especially for your selfless understanding and acceptance of your role in Manchester United. We, the fans, will be very proud to see you wearing your League medal at the end of this season. Thank you.

    Good one Mitko! Bet Berbatov is the first to reach those numbers playing so few games. The man is a marvel. But then, SAF is a marvel as well. Who knows that the man management by Fergie is exactly why Berba is doing so well. Maybe WR10 should be sat a couple of games !)

    Team?
    VDS,
    Fabio, Smalling, Vidic, Evra,
    Nani, Carrick, Gibson, Giggs,
    WR10, Berbatov

    Your 3 goals against looserfool have already made you a United icon… Anyone doubting your ability can kiss my ass… You are a genius footballer and as smartalex said, the 19th medal would look great around your neck buddy

    I’m pretty sure Berba will be very happy for your words ;)

    Well done Berba. Let’s hope you get another one for being the first to reach 30.

    Truth.

    I think it comes as no surprise to any of us that Dimi isn’t excited, and neither should he be.
    Personal accolades are just a distraction.

    Glorymanunited. Not being petty mate fergie hasn’t proved us wrong. At least not those that have loved dimitar from day one, of which I can honestly say I was one of those.

    Well done berba lad.

    denton davey says:

    Very interesting article by Daniel Taylor in Guardian online comparing the “trials” of DimitarBerbatov and the “triumphs” of Javier Hernandez.

    It seems that Dimmy just can’t convince all of the people all of the time.

  35. April 1, 2011 at 18:39
    StatesideAussie says:

    The Telegraph’s preview of tomorrow’s match is predicting Hernandez to start instead of Berba. Seems weird to me, given that on Wednesday he was in San Diego, which is 8 hours of jetlag and 11 hours of flying time (to London), plus he had about 1.5 games in the last week with Mexico. I know he’s young and all that, but we’ve a busy schedule coming up, seems crazy to run him tomorrow if he’s already tired.

    Raizzen says:

    Berba’s acrobatic flip goal against West Ham was one of the thing I remembered – in between our shaky draws and defensive line, in our earlier season. At that time, the press were singing in arms that their premonition of an inevitable United downfall was certain. And even some sections of our fans saying Berba only scores against lesser opponents. Thus his acrobatic heroic wasn’t something worth a mention or 2.

    But here we are now, sitting well, not so pretty on top of the league and Berba our top scorer. How wrong could they be. How fuckin wrong could they be. United just keeps messing people’s prediction that a lot of fortune tellers went out of business.

    Now they would have to be more cautious about writing us off in the future. Because we keep coming back.

    willierednut says:

    Yeah, we’re a football version of the boomerang.

  38. April 1, 2011 at 18:51
    FletchTHEMAN says:

    @Stateside Agree, Chicharito and Owen will probably be on the bench. WR10 and Berbatove to start.
    We will see.

    smartalex says:

    StatesideAussie, G’day! I love saying g’day to an Aussie, I say it with an accent in my mind!

    Not knowing how we are to solve the RB crises tomorrow makes it difficult to predict the team, but I am clear that Berbatov starts. As co-incidentally mentioned by Costas earlier, his height will be needed at set pieces.

    Denton. Hello mate. You included I suppose! Daniel taylor is a tosser mate who looks aboyt twelve years old.

    King Eric says:

    Raizzen. Good post fella. Yeah amongst the early season memories is also berbas fantastic strike at goodison. God that game winds me up. We should have cruised that one.

  42. April 1, 2011 at 19:45
    StatesideAussie says:

    smartalex … yes, but which accent, that’s the question! Try this, then:

    Strewth, that Berbatov fella’s a fair dinkum Bobby Dazzler, eh? Total class, stands out like balls on a tall dog. That Daniel Taylor bastard though, he’s up himself at a thousand miles an hour. What a fucking dickhead. Can’t see for nuts. the dumb prick. Needs to get a manager and stop handling himself. That fucking article he wrote’s not worth a cunt full of cold water!

    Well done to the Lad,now lets see him finish off the Rents and West Hem, the struggle to be No1 striker at UTD is healthy and the Pea and Dimi are doin fine, let our so called rivals worry about US!

    you kinda look a bit hungover, no? j/k! good for you berba, you’ve been awesome this season and don’t be too hard on yourself when you miss a shot on goal. I see that face you make all the time and I don’t like it! :(

    Not just ABUs’ predictions wrong, the most annoying thing to me are our own United fans slagging off our own players!

    Where you from mate? I’m in Perth, its hard to find true United fans that have a clue what they’re talking about in this isolated city.

    KING ERIC BG says:

    Hello, people!
    Actually I agree with many of the things Taylor said in the Guardian article, but not with the general tone implying that Berbatov’s future is kinda gloomy. He definitely lost a little ground recently, but Fergie knows what he’s doing and won’t dash his own efforts to bring Berbatov into the team amalgam. And also – Chico and Rooney themselves are not immuned from turnarounds in their careers.

    At the end of the day, its Ferguson who outguessed everybody – when people stared at Rooney, Berbatov stepped up and pushed us forward, then Hernanez did the same replacing Berba from the spotlight. Not a big deal, its the result that matters!

    pretty ironic bereba winning all these awards can’t get a regular start and utd supposedly have a week squad this year

  57. April 2, 2011 at 13:45
    KING ERIC BG says:

    yeah, wayne, of course our squad is weak, how it could be the other way since we have spent less than 100 mil???
