“Nicky Butt, Nicky Butt, Nicky Nicky Butt, na na na na na na na na!” Manchester United fans have been singing since the 90′s. The KC and the Sunshine Band tune enjoyed a resurgence in our ground a couple of years ago when Rodrigo Possebon was on the scene.
Arsenal fans have now adopted the song for Samir Nasri, or, Naseri as the song would have you believe. (Syllables? What are they?) There’s a reason why we don’t sing the song for Rooney, or, Roonery as Arsenal fans would call him. It doesn’t massively get under the skin but it grates a tad.
But before I can find the energy to get too wound up by them butchering the song, I get pointed in the direction of this mug.
Seriously! You’re a grown man!
All together now, “Samir Naseri, Naseri, Samir Naseri…”

Manchester United v Arsenal: An intense football rivalry
Man Utd News 24/7
Lemmings off a cliff, springs to mind. Or springs, with no mind.
Cunt.
Doesn’t every club nick songs off eachother…?
Lol.
Thought Costas would have had the lineup by now…u slacking!!!!!
6 th!
GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!!!!!!!
I took the day off to watch the game live!!!!
Alpha – Course. Hardly the point. The lad is called Nasri. Not Naseri. Just like it’s Rooney. Not Roonery.
@dean
Sorry, I am unforgivable.
We should know in half an hour.
a show of hands for anyone who thinks the better player from the two gets to keep the song xD
yeah thought so too. watch him rape manU silly tonight
Can anyone provide me with information that “You’ll Never Walk Alone” was actually a United anthem until the Dippers nicked it in the 1960s when it was recorded by Gerry Marsbar and Face-achers?
I really really don’t mean to upset anyone by associating us with such a twattish bunch of rat eaters, but I’ve heard this from more than one source now and can’t believe it’s true, unless someone out there knows better.
What ever happened to Possebon? Awfull challenge, I know he failed at Braga but nothing after that.
line ups please?
“Samir Naseri, Naseri, Samir Naseri…”
‘Some more misery, Misery, Some more misery…”
They are aiming for an arsenal banner at the Stretford End.
@ Bruce Thomas. It’s actually true, we first started singing it after the Munich disaster and then was copied by Celtic. It was actually the Dippers who hijacked it and proclaimed it as there own. United fans sang it up to the 1970s then stopped.
Obviously the Dippers chose to ignore this but then they have a history of sicking there heads in the sand especially the last 20 years.
hahahahahaha
This quote:
‘It doesn’t massively get under the skin but it grates a tad.’
Fair enough but hey there’s a lot worse going in the world eh Scot?. The middle east is in turmoil, Japan had a earthquake, tsunami and nuclear explosion, we are in recession and 2 wars but yeah I see your point mate.
If anything should prove the old cliche right that ‘it’s only game’ then this week’s events should have.
I’ll still be fucked off if we lose today but it won’t be unexpected.
Anyway best of luck and enjoy the match
Seven defenders, lol
Quite an amazing lineup today… VDS, Brown, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Rafael, Gibson, O’Shea, Fabio, Chicharito, Rooney
Seven (!) defenders in #MUFC team v #AFC: VDS, Rafael, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Fabio, Brown, O’Shea, Gibson, Rooney, Hernandez.
@gooners77: if I wanted world news I’d go to a news site, but I’m on a man united fan site, what do you rekon we’re here for?
bench?
I’ll play my strongest line up? Yeah, right Fergie.
11am.. a little early to be playing April fool’s mate… please tell me you’re joking
Valencia on the bench
is that the real line up? that is shocking.
11am is that a joke? please let it be a joke.
In the news that Fletcher and Carrick are both injured and will also miss Marseilles.
i think rafael and fabio probably playing as wingers
Rafael on the right wing could be a good move, same on the left with Fabio, but wow what a line up.
i usually don’t complain about line ups but this is horrendous. it’ll be interesting to see how they line up.
Fergie proving his mastery of the psychological games. He did the same v. Chelsea in the league in 08. Stuff them with a makeshift side, they are done. Lose with a makeshift side, no psychological gain for them.
SB
hang on. tony V starts
lets hope Wenger’s guessing as much as us
PHEW thanks xol for calming m nerves. TONY V STARTS!!! YEAHHH!!!
Oh dear. The line up isn’t a shock when you consider Carrick and Fletch got injured. I just want this game out of the way now. No replays…
Not happy with this line up at all.. in fact I feel sick.
Why not hand berbs a start? Rafa and Fabio might be interesting on the wings but this is a very BIG gamble. Why not start a strong lineup and break Arsenal’s back TODAY ?!!?
I can see this going to a replay, last thing we need.. hope I’m wrong.
what? where did u guys see tony v starting? soccernet still has the same lineup
Subs: Kuz, Giggs, Scholes, Obertan, King, Valencia, Berbatov
Fletch and Carrick injured? Bloody hell.. guess it makes sense a bit now.
Fergie always has a method to the madness. He’s often second guessed, and often proves himself a little more clever than the punters. BELIEVE.
This team will get up their noses. Arsenal will not like nor really know what to do with them.
SB
@utdforever considering the injury list, this is probably the best lineup we can put up.
Fletcher and Carrick injured? Both out of form anyway. How did Fletch get injured, he didn’t play last week ffs. Fucking injuries!
The arse have a habit of adding syllables to their players names, sagna becomes sangya, rosicky becomes radsisky, bentdner becomes shitter by the day
What pisses me off is not the line up. It’s how every season we reach a point where we run out of options in one area. Last season it was the defence and now it’s the midfield.
With Carrick and Fletch out of Tuesday’s games, the line up for that should be like this:
VDS – Rafael, Smalling, Vidic, Evra – Obertan, Scholes, Gibson, Giggs – Rooney Berbatov
DAMN YOU XOL ( lol) tony v doesn’t start. it’s the correct line up. but how did carrick and fletch get injured? hope they are ok for marseille.
Jellybean, the match tracker said twins on the wings and Valencia starts.
I reaally hope SAF has some good news about Ando and Park because this is getting ridiculous now.
what do United players eat. they get injured all the time.
ah well danny, never mind. At least he’s starting on the bench lol. Welcome back Antonio.
what on earth is happening at carrington? how are so many people injured. where the hell is park?. i thought he was supposed to be out for three weeks? where is he?
Park should have been back by now.
Oh and where the hell is Owen?
CMON LADS. LETS GET 2 WEMBLEY
@ Costas .. exactly mate!
Why not go for the jugular with that line up you mentioned?! 7 defenders at home? WOW.
@ Chicharito14 … ermmmm.. with Giggsy, Scholes, Berbatov on the bench you think what Fergie’s put out today is our strongest starting line up?
fabio will score 3 today
IF WE BEAT THAT LOT 2DAY WIT A 2ND STRING THEY WILL FALL APART, MON UTD.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Despite the strikers, Evra and VDS, each and every player has been hit with pretty serious injuries this season… I think.
looking forward to seeing fabio on the left wing. reckon he could do a job there while evra is at leftback
@Costas: I think Valencia will occupy Gab’s pos. vs. Mars.
that is far away from our strongest line up. at least we have some steel at the back when arsenal have the ball but my problem is going forward. with SEVEN defenders and one who just likes shooting from anywhere( gibson) how is it all going to work?
O’Shea and Gibson in midfield. Oh dear.
More and more injuries everyday, but no one ever seems to return on schedule. What on earth is going on?
Can somebody punch this scouse ‘legend’ , Steve McMahon on his face please. He’s on Espn Asia and he’s talking rubbish here as a pundit. Saying Sir Alex has lost the plot ? What a fucking prick !
..and o shea will score 4
@utdforever
Sadly, due to their age, playing Scholes and Giggs today meant they wouldn’t play on Tuesday. And we don’t know how serious Carrick and Fletcher are. They could be out of the Bolton game too. It’s a nightmare. Berbatov could have started, but at least we still have 2 strikers starting. Don’t know what to say. Hopefully the team will surprise us. At least the defence is strong. With 7 defenders in the team!
@shubhangmanred
Hmm, don’t know. Is he ready to start? If that was the case why not start Obertan today?
why dont we just put pogba and morrison on gamble too?
this prick (steve mcmahon) actually said that if he is wenger, he’d be telling his boys ‘look at the manutd’s starting line up, each and everyone of you are better than these players’ . he’s getting on my nerve. seriously.
That midfield is weak. I trust Giggs and Scholes for Tuesday, but this could be hairy today. At least Valencia is back and Park should be near ready as well. And Rio? Who the fuck knows.
musca
they are playing FA YC on Anfield tomorrow, so I guess Fergie didnt want to interfere with that game..
But I agree, I think Pogba/tunnicliffe could have done just as well in CM as John O’Shea.
@willie
Rio said last Monday that he had a tough training session. In the gym. God knows when he will be back with the 1st team.
I was hoping Ando would be back.
RVP is their captain? This just got easier.
SB
That‘s quite ironic, as Naseri in Slovenian means ‘shit yourself‘.
Great victory even though I had my doubts..bein wanting fergie to do that with the twins for a while now!!does any1 agree that Valencia back makes us look more dangerous???and wat a knob jack wilshere is he’s the new hate figure for the next lot of years..
“i usually don’t complain about line ups but this is horrendous”
“is that the real line up? that is shocking.”
“Not happy with this line up at all.. in fact I feel sick.”
“Saying Sir Alex has lost the plot ?”
funny how that all worked out….
d
Haha, funny write up Scott – proper bell end eh!
@daelm lol jus shows why fergie is in charge and non of us lot!
that guy looks dodgy any reports of missing kids
Am I the only one to notice his two different trainers swell.
Bellend.
no mate i noticed that aswell
Wow, the guy is with his daughter having some fun.
Looks like a lot of haters on this website!
I think Nina could’ve had a better game than Naseri. (-:
So lame. You really have little to talk about. So somebody elongated Nasri’s name to fit in with a song? Get over it. En-ger-land…. En-ger-land…..
A tosser full stop..Arsenal are as bad as Newcastle with there shirts………
Stev-e-o loves En-ger-land…. En-ger-land….. Stev-e-o …. Stev-e-o.
In-fan-tile…In-fan-tile…
… or should that be
In-fan-ny-tile…In-fan-ny -tile…
