After Luis Suarez was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra and banned for eight games, Manchester United were drawn Liverpool in the FA Cup at Anfield.
After the club had come out and publicly supported their racist striker, with the players and manager wearing t-shirts with his face on, it came as no surprise that their fans tried to excuse the inexcusable too.
During the FA Cup game, the 58-year-old was seen doing a monkey impression at Patrice Evra. The offence was caught on camera and the Liverpool fan was charged.
Gannon appeared in court yesterday and witnesses revealed the details of his behaviour that day.
Liverpool fan Samual Inman, who was at the game with his dad, said: “In the second half of the game, there was an incident where, towards the disabled fans, he shouted ‘fuck off you spastic mutants’. Pikey bastards was nothing I hadn’t heard before as it goes on at football matches. The comments to the disabled fans were what shocked me the most.
Gannon admitted that he called United fans “pikey bastards” but claims he didn’t realise that was racist.
Another fan close to Gannon, David McGuire, claimed he heard him insult Evra in French.
Another fan sitting near to Gannon, David McGuire, said: “I heard the defendant saying: ‘tu est petit noir homme merde’ which I took to mean ‘you are a little black shit man’. I turned to my friend next to me and said ‘Look, he’s trying to abuse him in French’. My friend then said to Mr Gannon ‘You can’t even abuse someone in French.’ Mr Gannon then replied ‘My Spanish teacher Mr Gomez taught me that’.”
Witnesses also said they saw Gannon making gestures and singing songs about the Munich Air Disaster but he denies this too.
Gannon’s defence is that he wasn’t doing a monkey impression at Evra but that he was in fact doing a “caveman dance” at the United fans, claiming that they were “Neanderthals”.
“I am not a racist,” he said. “I did not say anything to Patrice Evra or any other players. I was just giving the fans a bit of stick at the end of the game. I told them to get back in their caves and did the neanderthal at them.”
Malik Alam, who attended the game with Gannon, said: “He was not doing a monkey gesture. He was doing a sort of caveman dance.”
Yeh, right, that famous caveman dance…
Man Utd News 24/7
you know its bad when the liverpool fans are doing their own in
But its their year next year no?? Fucking deluded bin dipping dick fucks
I know most REDS hate the scousers with a passion……..Personally I do not, in fact I respect the football club that is Liverpool, proper history and tradition………Yes KKK fucked things up but now he has fucked off………
City are pathetic and easier to hate but no one more so than leeds, that is a sick vile excuse of existence
By the way, that cunting dick of a human being in the photo is someone I would love to meet……..Would smash his jaw out of his hateful head
he actually didnt have to try hard to look like a senile ape
Never heard so much rubbish. “The cave man dance”? well, what a crap impression that was, i’m sure hollywood will come knocking though. To be honest, if he hasn’t learnt anything at this age then it’s too late, also too late for those with similar mind frame.
This man is clearly not the brightest bulb in a pack. In fact, i’m certain no light has ever flickered in that pea sized brain of his and it’s worrying that a lot more ignorant clowns like him roam the streets.
Sometimes i wonder when the end to discrimination will be seen. There’s more exposure these days and people can see different colours but yet they stick to the shambolic mentality of feeling superior to another human. I fear this will never be eradicated, i think it’s only been enforced and compressed well in england but we all know it exists and it’s only a matter of time before it arises again.

imagine how much notoriety this muppet is getting from his scummy mates
A Union Slack wardrobe? Really? So it’s on at 99p at pres which seems a bit steep.
I love coming on Republik of EBay, when I typed in the address I thought to myself “I don’t want to read about United, but I DEFINITELY want to buy a fucking wardrobe.”
As for the Scouse cunt, well, he’s exactly that, I bet he’d LOVE a Union Jack wardrobe too.
Cheers ClaytonBlackmoresTan.

Best fans in the world.
What a sickening cunt. Caveman dance?!? That’s shite banter at football anyway. I’ve never seen that in my fucking life at football. And is it not a bit rich that he called us pikey bastards? Should probably look at his own scummy lifestyle first. Don’t understand this fucking culture of victimhood that engulfs Liverpool Racist Club and the city in general. “Oh we’ve had it so tough, oh it’s such a tragedy, oh a dead chicken fetus, oh rest in peace, by the way fuck off you Munich bastards.” Such fucking hypocrites, taking the piss out of Munich constantly, at every fucking United Liverpool match, but if a single person sang some of the Hillsborough songs I’ve heard, they’d be strung up by their heels and fed to the scousers outside the Liver building. I don’t agree with mocking the dead at any level, for me, Heysel is more about reminding Liverpool that they are fucking murdering cunts. That despite all their victim spiel, they conveniently seem to forget that 39 families were ruined thanks to them. The fact that Juventus fans booed their tribute when they met in Europe says it all, a fucking hollow gesture. They don’t actually claim responsibility whatsoever. I don’t recall them ever claiming responsibility for Heysel. Please do correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve never heard a peep from the club and certainly not from their scummy cunt fans. Just look at the bloke in this picture for christs sakes. I fucking hope I have more of a life than this sad bastard at 58. Bitter racist cunt. And the fact he’s having a go not only at his own fans, but at the fucking disabled no less. What an absolute disgrace. I hope someone disables that fucking cunt so he can be a “spastic mutant”. I just don’t understand this ridiculous commitment to victimisation. Like the new kit they have, with the Hillsborough flames on the back. It’s actually a good gesture from the club to do that and have a personal tribute. It’s not like they have to, but they do. Mainly because they’re victim-mongering cunts, but it’s still a decent gesture. Heaven forbid though, some fans think it’s a disgrace and that they’re being victimised because they’re not on the crest anymore. FUCK OFF. How about not on the kit at all you ungrateful fucking cunts. Even the Hillsborough families, why are they protesting?!?!? It’s on the kit for fucks sake. Mind you, is it any wonder when you’re supporters are massive cunts like this nob? And as Scott said, the club hardly set a good example. I do find it hilarious that the all conquering LFC with the best fans in the world, renowned for their humour (bollocks) have turned into Liverpool Racist Victim and Mediocrity Society, with the bitterest nastiest cunts for fans who are racist abusive cunts. How the mighty have fallen. Ah, good to be back ranting on RoM.

well said bobbycharlie,
it amazes me that this racist expects a court to believe he was suggesting United fans are neanderthals.
OH THE IRONY!!!!!!!!!!!
KAGAWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
But seriously, why do stars need somebody to hold their umbrellas for them? And the poor guy in the background – nobody gives a flying fuck if he gets wet. More discrimination, the likes of which will be put to an end by The Great Indian revolution, once we overtake, oops, I meant take over the world! Join General Jeet and claim your umbrella rights NOW!!!
” i called them pikey bastard but didn’t realise it was racist ” what a thick horrible cunt. The worst bit is he’s 58, 50 fucking 8 and he’s acting like this. I bet he’s never had a bird and i would also put money on his dad being a right cunt. Never their fault is it.
Sorry Cedars, but I don’t. I have nothing but vitriol and contempt for them. If they were a decent football team, I’d probably hate them more than Citeh
Has anybody else noticed that the theme for the euros 2012 seems to be the riff from the start of “Seven Nations Army” by the white stripes. Wonder what you think about using that melody for a chant for Tony V. he deserves a great and catchy chant and I think just chanting his name to that Riff would be great

PJBS
That’s fine mate, I fully expect most proper REDS to hate the dippers with a passion
Such a miserable piss-poor excuse. He was never going to admit to it but in all the intervening months is that the best he could come up with? Caveman dance. I look forward to seeing the United support doing the caveman dance on this year’s trip to Anfield.
Thanks for clicking on the link Reds. Views have doubled in the past 90 mins.
@Union Jack: Well to be honest, the only reason I clicked was the presence of the word “hash” in that link…
…but happy to help, and will click a few times more…good luck!
Morning.
Fat horrible scouse cunt.
Well done Portugal, Nani and Ronnie. Love Ronnie BUT his constant gesturing , posturing and expressions annoy me to fuck. As Mike text last night he is always aware the cameras are on him.
Fuck off Keown you ape cunt with your constant digs at Nani. Bastard. I saw folk talking about Veloso . I have been very impressed with Moutinho. Works his arse off, great passer and does all the donkey work and keeps them ticking. Great little player.
Watched re run of Arsenal 8-2 last night. I know they were shite but United were top drawer early season . In big part to Cleverley. He was bossing that game with Ando. Great one and two touch player but he presses opposition high up the pitch and doesnt give them a minute on the ball. Tenacious little lad as well. Hope he stays injury free as he is top drawer. Good to hear he has been bulking up and having “vision training”. He is always aware like Scholes where folk are on the park and plays with his head up. Quality little player.
King Eric
I fucking love you to bits mate………Wee Thomas is indeed class, hopefully an injury free season and we will see the best of him
Oh and as good as Ronaldo is, I have absolutely no affection or love for him……Even when he was at United
But Cedars, do you know him?
Next program on the cook channel is Nigella Bites!!! Fuck!!!
Jeet
True you tit, I also think Ribery is ugly as fuck, but we should not discuss this on here right?
Oh those crazy cavemen. Did love a dance or two, didn’t they?
Fuckwit. He’s bang to rights. Hope he does time and gets plundered by a black fella in the showers.
In other news, Modric to Real looks increasingly likely. Inevitable I suppose, but might it free up one of Madrid’s CMs for a move? Khedira? Diarra? Sahin? Any of those three would improve our midfield.
@kanchelskis: Wonder what it would mean for Mou’s aspirations to succeed Fergie though?
@bobbycharlie1968
Even with Hillsbourough I always feel that they are too concerned with shifting all blame away from themselves. They constantly complain about the way they feel the police seemingly covered up failings on their part that contributed but insist on trying to do the same with the part some of their fans played in the situation. Even with the me inquiry unless it’s a whitewash to appease them you can guarentee they will keep banging on about about how it’s being covered up and they are being victimised. I don’t think any of the parties were innocent and if everyone stopped trying to hsxc their backs perhaps the families could actually get proper closure
@Jeet
Good point. No secret that Fergie will be heavily involved in choosing his predecessor.
But didn’t stop Madrid gazumping us for Ozil. And ultimately, if Madrid’s owners sanction a £40m bid, there’s no reason why Spurs wouldn’t sell to them. Couldn’t blame Mourinho solely for that.
@ Jeet
lol Cheers mate, much appreciated, I’m trying to get a business of the ground, thanks for your help
@kanchelskis
Maybe not, much like City decided to start collecting Strikers, Madrid seem to collect Midfielders
@Wakey
Yeh, it’s a bit ridiculous. Sahin could’ve really made a name for himself by now with a bit of playing time, and Diarra is also a hugely undervalued asset.
Fuckin’ idiot. Cavemen dance? Is that the best he can come out with? Wonder what this old cunt did when he was younger, i bet nothing.
Also read an article on Telegraph yesterday which stated The Liverpool’s official website put this man action among “the best things to watch from FA Cup”.
Another PR Media fucked up from Cunt Kenny’s regime…
Come ON Greece! Wait, I should go for Germany if I want a Greek victory……….I’ve been such a curse
Union Jack-the White Stripes song has been sang by Liverpool about Macarano.
We make songs not steal them!!!!!
Fair play to those scousers that DID stitch this cunt up.
Cannot wait to see a midfield of Kagawa, Carrick and Wee Thomas………Nani or Young on the left, Valencia on the right with the wee ugly scouser up front
Cedars – Why thank you my friend. Hope you are good pal.
King Eric
Pleasure pal, like me you have a passion for home grown players and I will always remember you singing Clev’s praises before most of us seen him in action…..
All is well at my end mate
I only hope the injury curse is lifted for next season………..If we stay relatively injury free then I cannot see anyone beating us to the title………..Unless you’re Brendan of course who is sure that the bitters will win it again….
Seems obvious he must’ve learned the racist line in French before going to the match,just doesn’t come across as a linguist
Hope Greece does the Germans today unlikely but it would be sweet
Ohh absolutely, Forzaaa Costas!!!
wayne
Could not wish for anything more pal…..The Germans though are too strong, cannot see the Greeks getting anything from this game..(As much as I want to)
Regardless how we feel about them though, the Germans are by far the most successful and consistent European national side………..Buggers always hard to beat
Karl Heinz Rummenigge………Anyone remember the fucker? Built like a fucking brick wall he was….
Ok, I am having a German moment!!
Fuck the Germans….cunts
Any hooo, seeing like I am just talking to my self…….Best national side I ever saw in my pathetic life is by far Brazil in the 82 world cup……….Fuck me, they just danced… Socrates (RIP) What a genius
Can’t see it happening guys. Greece can beat teams with more talent than them, but Germany’s style doesn’t suit ours at all. I just hope we give them a good run for their money.
Speaking of the quarter finals, didn’t see the entire game last night, but Nani seemed to be up for it yet again. Like I said recently, any thoughs of not extending his contract at this stage are madness. Oh and once again Ronaldo proved he can’t deliver on the big occasions.
It’s all well and good giving cleverly all these praises but he needs to stay fit for a considerable amount of time and then stake a claim by raising his level. We’ve seen that he’s capable of it but what he did last season is now irrelevant. New midfield signings have arrived and more may do, i reckon the likes of petrucci, lingard, cole e.t.c will also step up. It won’t be easy.
From what i’ve read, kagawa seems to be a starter as a number 10 playmaker.
Costas
My heart is with you tonight and if you hear weird noises from across the sea than that would be me cheering on Greece!
Ganon the racist cnut has been found guilty:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/liverpool-fc-fan-found-guilty-906207
And now I’d like to know what The FA are going to do to Liverpool FC now it has been proven that Ganon was making racially offensive monkey impressions and comments.

Have to disagree mate, the Germans are no cunts…….Without them modern day Europe would not exist
“Caveman Dance??”
Bit of the pot calling the kettle black right there considering this twat’s living in the stone ages. Bogus defense really as everyone is well aware Geordies are true and proper cavemen.
@Cedars
Thanks mate. Do your best and pray for us quite a bit.
Twitter sucks dick……….
Costas
Not much into praying mate but I would sure scream my lungs out for you tonight…….
Come ON you fucking Greek beauties
Guilty !! two out of two…………….what a strike rate “always the victims its never your fault”
King Eric @ 11:38: “Watched re run of Arsenal 8-2 last night. I know they were shite but United were top drawer early season . In big part to Cleverley. He was bossing that game with Ando. Great one and two touch player but he presses opposition high up the pitch and doesnt give them a minute on the ball. ”
Considering the level of the opposition, they should have stood out. More impressive to me was YoungTom’s performance in the second half of the Community Shield. In any event, he’s got a lot to prove when this season kicks off – and Anderson has more to prove.
I’m pretty much resigned to the fact that DarrenFletcherinho is yesterday’s man – I just don’t see how he can compete at the very highest level with such an energy-sapping condition. If that’s the case then I worry that SAF’s “plan B” – over-using TheGingerNinja – will be a reach-too-far. Scholes has been a fantastic player – he’s now “merely great” – but time has moved on for his legs (if not his footballing-brain). Playing him alongside Michael Carrick solves some problems but creates others – basically, I don’t think we can see the best from Michael Carrick if he’s partnering Scholes; what he needs is someone like Fletcherinho (in his “football genius” mode).
Otherwise, I’d like to see SAF “tinker” with the formation – in the current EuroFootie matches, the most interesting game was Italy v. Spain and, in particular, that 3-5-2 formation. It seems to me that something along these lines might be the way to accommodate Nani AND Valencia down the right side while playing Evra AND Young on the left, with KagawaBunga in the hole and some version of TheWayneBoy, DannyTheLad and Chicharito up-front. The key to that formational re-jig is Michael Carrick who has all the attributes of a sweeper (so does Rio).
IF there’s not going to be any recruitment for a more-traditional box-to-box midfielder then something new and different needs to be tried. I’m by no means a doom-sayer but UTD’s weak performances in key matches WITHOUT Fletcherinho needs to be addressed.
Cedars are you talking 1st,2nd,World War the birth of Nazism and the annihilation of millions of people or the Eurozone
Cedars Devil @ 13:26: “Cannot wait to see a midfield of Kagawa, Carrick and Wee Thomas………Nani or Young on the left, Valencia on the right with the wee ugly scouser up front”
You want to play WITHOUT DannyTheLad and/or Chicharito ? You think that Ashley Young is the equal of Nani ?
I agree about veloso. I remember him getting heavily linked with united while he played for sporting lisbon and i thought that was a done deal as we always take players from sporting but didn’t happen. Technically very good, tactically aware, reads the game well, passes well, nice left foot.
I reckon if portugal some how get to the final, they can win the euros but the tikki takka fuckers may prove a bridge too high to jump but then again with moutinho, veloso, meireles, they have a combative tenacious midfield that will fight. Meireles is probably the worst amongst them but his weaknesses can be patched up. Ronaldo and nani up top, they have undoubted match winners.
In defence, they’ve been more solid. Pepe may have this reputation as a cunt but he’s quality, very stylish centre back. Bruno alves is slower but a fucking rock, he’ll head everything and is uncompromising. All round good team and only a team not an individual will this euros.
wayne
Of course not mate, I am talking about modern day Germany…… You know, the country that carried the financial burden of an entire continent
Denton
In terms of Nani and Young, yes I think they are equal…. In fact I believe that Young has a better delivery and a much more effective right foot……..As for the formation I suggested it was just for a few games….I still love us playing with two strikers
Just seen another pic of Shinji that’s so awesome it will blow your mind. Won’t bother you with it tho cos I found it on Twitter and Twitter ‘sucks dick’.
kanchelskis
Do share! ha ha ha……. Oh and can I follow you please??
Cedars,Germany has always been the driving force behind European integration,have to take responsibility, Erozone is what they wanted
Young is good but sorry, he’s not in the same league as luis nani. Technically and talent wise, the portuguese is a step or two ahead him and i don’t really have to make a long list as to why this is.
wayne
Best we stick to football mate, my political opinions are like a brick wall and the funny thing is I know I am 100% right
Cedars lol ok mate
@CedarsDevil
Haha. Only winding you up. Just the one I already posted, for now.
Nani is not better than Young, on every level
kanchelskis
Ha ha ha….. You tweeting bugger, had me fooled for a minute!!
Welcome to Manchester Kagawa-san!
Expect he will be in line for 8 or 9 shirt after the shirts are sorted.
Surely not the No 7?
He’s one ugly fucker
Scouser’s gettin sent down, Kagawa arriving in Manchester……………’tis a good day. And to brighten it a bit more see this pic of our Red Nev…..made me chuckle!!
http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/photo-manchester-united-legend-agrees-to-photo-with-city-fan-cove
@Fletch
Won’t be 9. Danny’s primed for that, surely?
And I guess only 8 if Ando moves his fat arse out of the way. There have been no real indications that he’s moving on so I guess Fergie’s giving him one more chance?
Personally I think 7 should do to Nani and maybe Kagawa can inherit his 17?
We’re also without a 4 aren’t we? Not really appropriate for his position though. I think Jones will get that long-term.
I really think Rooney sometimes invites the problems upon himself when it comes to england. Claiming england are out to win the tournament blah blah, he gets carried away and if he doesn’t step up against italy and they get knocked tumbling out, he’ll feel the brunt of the blame.
Football is a team game yet they all want Rooney to drag them to the final.
Does it really matter what number players wear these days? Scholes always had shit numbers, did not not turn out so bad did he?
Have a nice time in prison, cunt. Doubt it’s the first time he’s been in though.
We all know Rooney isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed,he’s also pissed off the Italians by taking shots at Capello but he likes the fame and attention just something that’s always going to happen
Nani doesn’t want number 7. I read an interview with him where he said his lucky number is 17 cos his birthday is 17th November.
@Cyril
No obvious candidate then IMO. Although if Michael Owen can walk into the team and get it, I gues it’s up for grabs for anyone really!
That’s all he needs eh. piss the italians off, they’ll double man mark him and he’ll be ineffective. I can’t believe england are blaming a lost in translation for all their debacle. Didn’t the previous english managers express themselve well? what a load of crap.
@ mancunian
didnt realise, just thought it was catchy in the euros
@Kanchelskis – I reckon Kagawa might get it.
For what it’s worth, 4 and 9 are unlucky numbers in Japan, (something to do with the pronunciation)
but 7 is significant in Japanese culture.
They celebrate the seventh day after a baby’s birth and mourn the seventh day and seventh week after a death. They also have the “Seven Gods of Luck” in folklore and 777 is the best winning score in Pachinko. The number seven also appears in other cultural things in Japan (eg: The 7 Samurai)
Owen leaving, Kagawa coming in, maybe the stars are aligning….
Bloody weird the stuff in my brain….
777 is also good to have on slots
@Cyril
Wow. Impressive knowledge!
Kagawa it is then!
#9 – Danny welbeck
#17-Remains with Nani
#7-Kagawa
#2-Rafael
#4-Jones
#6-Smalling
#12- Powell
in Craps the 7 is the devil
@Ash
Never understood giving 12 to an outfield player. Surely that’s for #2 keeper all the way.
We can buy Lass Diarra or Miguel veloso for a cheap account. 10-15 Million would be good enough for buying either one of two.
” I told them to get back in their caves and did the neanderthal at them.”
Oh yeah, the famous “neanderthal” That’s been a common chant and dance between us for years!!!! You fucking PRAT. I bet your 5 kids are so proud seeing the images of you racially abusing people and calling other humans spastic mutants! Take a look in the mirror you fucking slack faced prick! How you managed to dupe a human being, let alone one of the opposite sex, into mothering 5 children is beyond me!
He recieved a fine and a 4 yr ban,didn’t get any time
kanchelskis
Yeah I agree with you on #12 issue. But I feel #12 doesn’t suit smalling . And I just noticed that evans has #6 so Smalling will have his #12 shirt.
@Ash
If this tournament’s anything to go by, I wouldn’t be interested in Veloso at all.
Anyone else think that when Rolando came on for Portugal that it was Bebe’s debut ?
United are planning to sign Heskey and give him the #7 jersey. You heard it here first.

Skip to 2:19
I can’t believe this twerp got away with a ban and a fine. Stupid gutless judge should have sent him down as an example.
I fully expect the scousers to have a t-shirt campaign in support of him.
samuel – I can see your point mate but if fit Cleverley is a starter. He is what we miss when Scholes isnt around. I do not hand praise out lightly. A blindman could see how good Tom was till his injury.
Durham and Jacobs reckon Portugal are a one man side . Err what about Nani, Moutinho, Veloso, Coentrao etc? They also say Carrol should get the nod as Danny “was quiet against the Swedes”. Ignorant fucking cunts. Without his goal those bastards would be back in Ingerlund now. How is Carrol starting or Danny even a debate? That streak of piss is a pub player. He cant even run.
samuel – Petrucci, Cole and Lingard are not near the first team yet imo and are certainly not as good as Cleverley.
Speaking of cavemen, seems Andy Carroll’s been doing some light individual training ahead of Sunday’s big clash….

Check out the ignorant comments from abu’s on this piece:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2163100/Shinji-Kagawa-Manchester-United-medical.html
No word on Shinji’s medical yet Scott?
and that “Malik Alam” eye-witness sounds like a right little Twat.
Has Kagawa’s medical concluded? Because it seems to be taking longer than his actual transfer saga did.
King eric – i agree that tom cleverly is talented but he needs to stay fit and have a long run as a starter. All i’m saying is, he can’t afford all these niggling injuries because competition in the team will be immense. Hopefully he’ll fulfill his potential.
And i’ll never know fools continue to claim portugal are a one man team. Yes Ronaldo is absolutely quality and he does make a significant impact but how can anyone ignore the contributions of his team mates who defend and also set up his goals? ignorant cunts indeed. Immobile cunt andy carroll, still can’t see why he gets all these praise, he’d never get into those countries teams that appreciate technical quality.
On lingard, petrucci, cole e.t.c, i’m not saying they’re certain starters but if they impress while given an opportunity in cup games or as a sub in a premier league then why can’t they challenge?. Petrucci is now 20, his potential is clear and is surely close to breaking into the first team.
samuel – Oh I agree pal. Those lads have a great chance especially Petrucci but Cole and Lingard are still a way off. Still got boys bodies. Gough is a total prat .
Nani 3 times player young is – young struggling at this level
Bobbycharlie – thing about scousers is they like a laugh and cracking jokes unless it’s at their expense, they soon show their true colours . Cunts.
Is it me or does he remind you off racing pundit john mc Cririck?.
Thick scouse cunt
Costas – they’re desperately trying to find something wrong with him in order to get out of the transfer deal. The gimps never expected Dortmund to call their bluff and accept the bid.
King eric – lingard and cole are still behind physically i suppose, maybe they might need a loan spell but they both have good mentality and will bide their time.
gough and durham are a smug arrogant pair. Always hyping england up after crawling out of the group and then claiming gerrard is the World’s best midfielder. Pirlo and de rossi will make a mug of him.
King Eric- love the reductive prose- fat horrible cunt. Perfect
Why is nani ignored as one of portugal’s world class players? just because he plays for united, if he was playing for Barca, they’d be licking his ass!
It’s FRIDAY!!!! GET THE FUCK IN!!!!’ you beauty…. Where’s my bottle opener!!

What number for Kagawa.
I am thinking 9 if it is in the single digits.
No way it will be 7 in my view.
I actually hope the 7 stays for TomC, or another player brought it.
Needs to be an inspirational mouth piece for the club.
Scholes could wear it for his final years as well.
Kagawa will wear 7 pal. Danny will get 9 if Berbatron leaves.

Kagawa said as he left Tokyo’s Narita airport: “It’s just a medical. I hope it will end with no problems.”
Lol @ Ooh Aah Kagawa
His name was Shinji, Shinji Kagawa!

This article caught my eye today
Can’t say I expect us to sell Anderson this summer. Kagawa has played 71 games in the last 2 seasons and arrives here aged 23. Anderson’s “two season career” in Portugal was a whopping 25 games as a Kid and he was only 18 with fuck all games when he scored that Penalty for us.
United knew before we signed him that Ando couldn’t reach his potential without sufficient games. True he’s had Injuries, but over the years he’s also had top players like Scholes, Carrick, Park and Fletcher keeping him on the bench even when he’s been fit. Anderson has never been first team at United or at any other Club, and he hasn’t come through our Academy either. Nani was in the same boat until he broke into our first team a few seasons ago. Now every season we benefit with Nani becoming a better player – as ya canny do it without first team games.
I’d have thought selling midfielders was the last thing we wanted? Besides, our best midfield since this time last year was Tom and Ando hands down imo, so I can’t see Fergie breaking that up before its even started.

@Fred
Unlike you I am not into conspiracy theories and I just suspected that that’s how long it takes our ace medical team to conduct their tests.
@United Till I Die. I think the Gaffer will give the Ando-Cleverley partnership another chance. The Gaffer knows how well both of them played together so he will give the pair another go. This season should and will be the last season for Fat Ando if he does not shape up.
I wouldn’t sell Anderson without a replacement but I would certainly be looking for that replacement. I’ve sort of given up on waiting for him to come of age.
Utd4life:
Remembering that Anderson and Cleverley gave us a match that Arsenal will 8-2 remember.
Love to see more of that. Not Andos fault that his game clicked in with that of an injured player. We will see if that can happen again. But it was something to watch for that game.
Cheers
Kagawa completes move to United. Welcome!

That’s that then. It is on the official website that he’s agreed to a four year deal.
It’s been a long time since we were truly excited about a signing. Yes, last season was awesome, but they were all value-adds, not anything like Kagawa. I absolutely cannot wait for pre-season.
Now, let’s get the Euros done with!

In other news:
Get in Greeks!
Greece Startin XI:
Sifakis, Torosidis, Papastathopoulos Kyriakos Papadopoulos, Tzavelas, Makos, Maniatis, Ninis Katsouranis, Samaras, Salpingidis
Lets hope so Fletch!
Πάμε Ελλαδάρα!
Game hasn’t even started yet and Southgate has irritated me. Please don’t let it be Andy Townsend on commentry.
If Greece are gonna lose then I hope they make the Germans bleed for the win. Still hoping for a Greece win. 1-0 with Ninis the goalscorer!
Fucking cunt will be dead soon.
Greeks holding on by the skin of their Gyros, 31min played.
Won’t be favored the greeks, least of all if it goes to pens.
Greeks have never won on pens and have missed their last 3 penalties from open play according
to the skeptics.
Still would be happy to raise a glass to em if they pull it off.
Expect they will have to continue to work their socks off.
Oi, Greeks just got a shot on goal.
Must be about 80:1 Germans:Greeks shots.
Make that 81:1
Fletch – I have a strong feeling for the Greeks.
Looks like my feeling was wrong. They have no chance now that Germany have scored.
As Wenger once said, it was over before the game began. Too much difference in class.
LOL Costas, Wenger only said that to save face.
Greece were performing manfully until the goal. I really believed they might nick a 1-0 win. Ah well, there’s still a slim hope if they decide to throw caution to the wind.
1-1!!!
Looks like Lineker’s impression of Wenger – difference is the BBC & the other authorities will always let Lineker off
