Ahead of Manchester United’s 2-0 victory over Blackburn, Roberto Mancini claimed that we would draw the game. Micah Richards sat down to watch and with the score still at 0-0, he began to let himself believe we might drop points.
“At half-time and at 60 minutes I thought, ‘You never know’,” he said. “But United do always look like they will score. So I knew it was gonna come. But when they got it and went further clear of us, I actually wanted to cry and I haven’t done that or felt like that in years. Football is full of emotions. You get angry and happy but I have never wanted to cry before. This time I did as that is how much it means. I have been grafting so hard this season, we have played unbelievable football and to see United come like this is horrendous. It kills me. I care so much about how I play and how we do in games. If things go badly in a game, I just can’t sleep.”
With City throwing away a five point lead to now be an incredible eight points behind in just a matter of weeks, Richards has reflected on the differing mentality between the two clubs.
“Fergie…” said Richards, pausing. “He’s gotta be one of the best managers that I’ve come across because, if we had got beaten 6-1 that day, United would have been 20 points clear by now. We have a good mentality. We have shown that many times. But the way they came back from the 6-1 is phenomenal. That’s down to the manager.”

Scotty help me with this what record got set in 1969 by both manchester clubs in the sixth round of the fa cup and still stands today? this has been pickling me for weeks apolgies for keeping on.
Let’s hope he’s in a guard of honour at the Wastelands – blubbing makes such great telly
Crying seems like their favorite sport at the Wastelands. Had to laugh at that line about the 6-1 defeat happening to them.
Don’t believe him though. He’s trying to lure us into a false sense of security.
You at the wrong club.
Why would City be giving us a guard of honour? I thought you only got one from the team you play on the day you get the trophy presented, OR by the team you have just taken the trophy from? From what I’ve read, if we win, we’ll be getting it at our closest home game, not Emptihad
Costas
Doubt if he has such intelligence mate, he’s just daft him and his team mates.
PJBS
From what I know a team would get the guard of honor in the match that follows confirmation of winning he league. Hypothetically speaking, say we win the league after the Villa game, then the Everton players would give us the guard of honor etc…
Ahh right. Well if we did win the league just before we played that pack of cunts, does anyone believe they will actually do that? I’d LOVE it, like Kevin Keegan, if we got that from them AND beat them. I just hope Fergie doesn’t opt to play a weaken team and not care about the result. I want revenge.
When I read Micah Rochards’ comments about how devastated he feels at blowing such a lead and then United mercilessly grinding them down to lead reminds me so much of 99 with the way Bayern Munich players were left utterly devastated and drained that it became a trauma – Sammy Kuffour anyone?
By their own admission Bayern players were mentally and emotionally scarred after that unbelievable night in the Nou Camp.
You have to think what a mental toll this campaign will take on all City players next season with or without Mancini and perhaps other players leaving like Aguero and Balotelli.
Inside they knew they bottled it and threw away so many golden opportunities – a 5 point lead turned into a 8 point loss. That will scar them for next season. You have to wonder just how many of their players – perhaps Kompany and da Silva being the exceptions – will be doubting and second guessing themselves when ‘squeaky bum time’ comes around this time next year.
It’s all down to the manager of course to steady the ship and take command. In Fergie we have the best and most experienced manager the game has ever seen.
PJBS
To be honest, and without getting too ahead of my self, I would rather we went to the emptyhad needing a result to win the league
Morning United
Looks like city are growing a brain in a crisis
Hold on
Fuck off don’t buy it – more mind games trying to unseat the unseat-able!
Just a quick pop in busy day I wrote something for Cyril if anyone wants to read it – please do would be lovely to support the lad
Take care you lovely REDS

The Left Bank
Ah yes Sammy Kuffour, I still have the image of him wobbling, crying and shaking his head.
Spot on about the city players mate, what has happened over the past few weeks is bound to have some sort of a lasting effect, especially without an experienced manager to pull them through. You could easily tell from their body language after the final whistle at the Emirates that they were simply down and out. Don’t be surprised if they fail to beat West Brom tonight
Can;t believe he said that – can never imagine a United player saying shite like that.
Shitty Managers since Richards signed in 2001 – Joe Royle, Kevin Keegan, Stuart Pearce, Sven-Goran Eriksson, Mark Hughes & Roberto Mancini = 6. Add in England Managers he’s played for McClaren + Capello (and Pearce again) = 8 in total. To be fair, not a bad list, most of whom have had success at the higher levels of Club and/or International football. And yet, by his own admission, not one of them is a patch on SAF. The magnitude of the task facing us in seeking his eventual successor is too huge to measure. How do you replace GOD? And can you trust the money grubbing Septic Tank Glazers to make the right call? No chance.
pjbs
No mate it is the game directly after it has been mathmatically put to bed, so if we win the league after beating Everton City would have to give us a gurad of honour.
Awww, poor little Micah. Fuck off. He seems to just whinge about everything doesn’t he? Crying because Capello wouldn’t select him and now this. Part of the mentality problem at City. Speaking of mentality problems, I think it’s time for some serious Scouse busting. I understand that Hillsborough was an awful event and that we are yet to learn the truth, but it’s time that Liverpool the club moved on. Note I said club, not fans. Relatives of the victims have every right to grieve for as long as they live. But for fucks sake, refusing to play on the 15th, because they have their annual memorial service at Anfield, therefore fucking over Chelsea into playing two tough games in the space of about 50 hours, how fucking self important can you be? Like I said, I appreciate the gravity of the disaster, bu the club are so fucking self-pitying. We have a service to commemorate Munich, and forgive me if I’m wrong, but I’m certain it’s not ALWAYS on the 6th of February. If we have a game that day we have a service followed by the match. I detest the victim attitude that Liverpool has. It’s all well and good making such a massive fuss over Hillsborough, but they conveniently seem to forget Heysel don’t they? Fucking murdering self-pitying scum. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind seeing Chelsea fucked over, in fact I fucking love it, but not in such a desperate way. I hate the FA more than Chelsea, and the FA are to blame for this farce. And it’s because Liverpool have requested not to play on the 15th. I think it was summed up nicely by a Sheffield Wednesday fan on who ate all the pies, they said they don’t like the fact that the only mention of their stadium nationwide is about the disaster and that the way south yorkshire police operate has nothing to do with Merseyside. I have to agree with him. Like I said before, the relatives of the victims have a right to feel aggrieved, but the club itself doesn’t. Fair play hold memorial services etc, they have every right to do that, but do they really have a right to act like some sort of wounded victim?!? It’s fucking typical of the scouse attitude. Seriously, why do they ALWAYS have to be the victim? Have you seen Queen Kenneth’s latest interview? He was so fucking crabby and rude and made it look like the poor sod at Sky (andy burton, to be fair don’t like the prick) was insulting the noble and just cause of Liverpool Football Club. How dare he question the righteous manager of this saintly establishment, he must be influenced by Evra or a Kangaroo Court or the FA conspiracy or a conspiracy by the press or Chelsea fans or anything except the righteous noble institution that is Liverpool Racist Club, shit, Liverpool Football club. I fucking hate them. The bitters are good for a laugh, and I do hate them, but I pure loathe the scouse cunts. In their eyes, it’s ok to sing about Munich but if anyone dares mention Hillsborough, you’re getting death threats and you’re a vile human being. What’s that? They’re conveniently avoiding Heysel whilst bollocking people for Hillsborough remarks? Oh what a fucking surprise. Because it was Chelsea fans fault. What a fucking disgusting lie that is. The club and the fans should feel ashamed, but we are talking about thieving drug dealing granny shagging scousers here so I guess there’s no shame in being a lying racist murdering cunt. When I saw lads about 7 or 8 years old singing “justice for the 96″ on Sky on deadline day a while back, I thought it just sums them up. If one deluded piss head cunt (Dogleash) says justice for (insert sinned against here), then Merseyside rises as one and blindly follows their leader into defending a racist. I’m going to my mates fancy dress birthday (why are students obsessed with fancy dress?) as a scouser, and I’ve got the wig tash and shell suit sorted, just have to work on pitying myself and being a victim. “Lad I’m tellin ya mate, I don’t owe you any fucking money for that drink! Calm down!”. Ahhh, always the victim, it’s never their fault.
Cedars
I said teh same thing yesterday i would sooner both us all win our next three games and a draw at wastelands wouls seal the title.
Song for the coming weeks
Were gonna win the football league again this time at Man City, this time at Man City, this time at ManCity
If we did go to the Shittyhad with the league in the bag (unlikely) you can bet your life they’d play a reserve team to avoid their first-teamers applauding us on to their own patch.
Hilariously, such a team would probably include noodle-head.
Back in the days when Utd were building a team, The Leeds scum beat us to the league after we had been clear in the run in. The rest as they say is history. Personally i hope there is no guard of honour at the emptyhad. A good manager might be able to use it as a stimulus for the next season, and i would rather the bitters just slid off back to stockport and withered of embarrassment. A good comprehensive win will do it for me. then we can laugh at them without inspiring them.
And after watchin MOTD2 on iplayer again, just how good is Paul Scholes. How or why he ever thought of retirement is beyond me. Thank god he changed his mind. Supreme is the word that comes to my mind…….
Bobbycharlie
Eloquently put my friend… a pathetic excuse of a club relying on glories so far past i wonder sometimes did they really exist.lol
kanchelskis
In which case we should make them even more suicidal and give them a taste of the future they’re going to suffer by sending out – DDG, Da Silva 2, Jones, Smalling, Clevs, Pogba, Tony V, Wazza (c), Keane and Danny. They’d be lucky to get 1 against our 6.
@Goughie
Ha. Nice idea. Maybe a bit of Larnell Cole in there too. Ooof.
We’re getting ahead of ourselves though. Wigan first. Won’t be easy. They’re playing for survival and should’ve beaten Chelsea.
Seems like an attempt by citeh to make Utd feel overconfident… SAF needs to keep the lads focused on the game today, I’ve seen Wigan make teams squirm recently, and going away to play today will not be an easy ride. I just hope Utd keep the 8 points lead, or even increase it should the bitters suffer another setback today
@ kanchelskis
Indeed it won’t be easy for all the reasons you mention but the way we’ve been playing, we’ve got to be confident. This is after all the best United T E A M I’ve seen in 40+ years. No big individual egos just a bunch of talented lads from all over the planet playing for each other, their manager, the Club and ultimately for us. All the shite about weakest United team ever is utter garbage. Check our points tally if you need proof. Europe will happen again in the next few years. Onwards and upwards, always.
@Goughie
Finally, someone who thinks the same as me about this Utd team.
Its only discernible weakness, by domestic standards, is the lack of strength in depth in the central midfield. All over the rest of the pitch, there’s real quality in depth and a wide variety of ages and levels of experience.
I’m convinced that a fit and in-form Anderson and Fletcher would’ve got us through that CL group stage with no problem. We were never gonna win it this year, with the two Spanish giants seemingly pulling even further away from the chasing pack in terms of quality, but having our two midfielders who base their games around energy available would’ve been a great help.
@ kanchelskis
Agree. Might take a while to get back on top of Europe as Clevs, Jones, Pog etc have to gain the experience. Not to long though. And SAF won’t retire until we do.
@Goughie
The worry is, if the likes of Iniesta and Xavi prove to be as durable as Giggs and Scholes, that Barca will remain on another level for a good few years yet. Messi is consistently unplayable in a way that no other player ever has been, and they have good young players coming through too. That’s not to say they’re gonna win the thing every year for the foreseeable future, but we may need a two-legged encounter and a bit of luck, if we’re gonna get past them any time soon.
I dont think there is any amount of mind games that can take it away from us. Even Viera knows that coz he has gone sullenly quiet. Richards is just aknowledging our win mentality and quality. If he thinks this will affect how we play he has another thing coming. I have the utmost faith in the proffesionalism and experience of our players and they know complacency is the only thing btwn us and 20. Nothing anyone says or writes will change their focus. My only fear is ”parked bus defences when we dont have the skill of Berbatov”.
20 is in the bag & my or anyone saying so will not make the team complacent.
@ kanchelskis
I think they were probably at their best last year. Next few weeks will tell if they fail to win La Liga and/or CL. Their cycle is downwards or flat at best. Ours is upwards. We won’t be CL winners
for a few years but it won’t be a 9 year gap like 99 to 08 before we conquer Europe again. In our own back yard, I can see nothing but continued dominance. No divine right to it, just a bloody magnificent hard working Club.
Well, that was an eventful day. Aftershocks felt in Chennai (and other parts of India as well) of the 8.7 Richter earthquake in Sumatra, Indonesia. Tsunami warnings have been given and, best of all, all offices have declared an immediate closedown. Back home within the comforts of my home right now. Hopefully it is nothing major and just a passing thing.
We’ll have to see how it goes. Will keep you guys posted.
Balaji Sivaraman – Best all of luck to you and your family that nothing serious will happen.
If ever there was a bitter man. The one writing articles and calling himself CityBlue or something to that effect. He sees conspirancies in everything, hates everyone (Utd, FA, referees, all EPL opponents, fellow city fans etc), and has a very sorry bitter soul. A stroke is just around the corner at the rate he goes on……
Hi Everyone on this site united are the best bring on wigan 2nite Rooney will score first
mmmmmm compliment or is it another abu attempt to throw united off guard. hope the boys fight each game like there is a point between us. Anoother attempt at making us bask in our glory befor we fully clinch it?. Hes not the only one crying. Imagine how much bonus those boys will lose out on.
@ Balaj, we will all pray its nothing serious. Dont want to spoil number 20. Be well.
hahah, massive club!
@redbilly
Indeed – almost makes me hope that Fergie keeps the players in solitude during this time of the season so they don’t have to hear any of this crap being spouted. City have little to lose now, so may as well come out with stuff like this; ANYTHING to try and unsettle us.
I don’t think Wigan will sit quite as deep as Bburn or QPR did. Expect them to have a go on their own patch, with some decent attacking players. Will need to keep a close eye on Moses.
We were v tidy in the last two matches, showing real patience and professionalism vs Blackburn. Same again please boys. On the ball from the off.
Left bank – with mind games your opponent is always looking for the advantage based on their own agenda. Why does he pay us this vailed compliment now. Season is not fully over yet , cup still to be secured and, as of now no one has fucked off from wastelands .
Would hate to fuck up due to complacency. That would be the sweetrest of victories for them. Also , they are not fitting to lift the trophy , would make a mockery of the PL.
@Balaji: Hope nothing happens. Take care.
Not to trivialize concern, but I think it’s no big deal – just Rajni deciding to take a piss
with mind games and agendas, always assume the worst case scenario (for those on the recieving end) is intended, Its the safest option. I want fergie to drum into those lads you have won fuck all you ( at least city have won the moral high ground
). If we fucked it against wigan and they won , imagine the temporary shift in dynamics. I say temporary as they would slip back into failiurhood and we would regain the champ not chumps mentality. but at this stage we can not afford such temporary slips.
The media shit re united gaining unfair decisions may have a bearing yet on some of the games .
The old fox is successful as he takes nothing for granted , even the city bottling effect.
By the way, what does he mean when he says, “I have been grafting so hard this season, we have played unbelievable football and to see United come like this is horrendous.” Makes it sound like United tied him up in leather straps, put on a mask and a cat o nine tails in a dark room, and just jizzed all over his pretty face. Come to think of it, that’s not a bad approximation of reality, though I guess we are still holding our load.
And no, we haven’t “grafted”, dug in, worked hard – it’s just poor Micah that’s worked hardest, and look what those older bad boys in class did to him.
Balaji
Hope nothing further happens my friend, take care
A city player with some sense. Who knew?
Could be mind games or they have already conceded the title in their own minds. If they lose to WBA at home, it’s the the latter. Most of their players are there for money only (Tevez, Nasri,etc) Half the Shitty players couldn’t be bothered to go applaud their visiting fans at the Emirates. Even though Platt told them to instead of going straight to the dressing room. I’m trying to contain myself until it’s in the bag, and I’m sure Fergie, Giggs, Scholes, and Rio will cuff anybody in the squad who doesn’t. But I did have a huge smile all Sunday!!
Chances of a tsunami have been virtually ruled out by the early warning center, thank God. Wait and watch now. Read somewhere though that mobile operators have shut some netwworks in south india – balaji, boogeyman, etc. might not be able to log on for some time, if that’s true.
Jeet
Sounds like good news, thanks for the update pal
@kanchelskis every team we play now should play as if its the game of the season. I expect fergie to drum into the lads do not be guiled into beliieving the media hype or even the plaudits of the fans. wait until the title is won and keep the fire in your belly. Motivate them by thinking what it would be like for us to slip and city win. Thats enough to make them work their fucking guts out.
Barca are partly so successful because they never take their foot off the pedal, even with the lowly teams they always want to score more. Take nothing for granted.
After this seanson I want this title so bad , for the lads and the fans … and for Hansen
Cheers to all for the wishes though it looks like nothing major might come out of this.
Jeet, ISP’s working fine but all mobile calls have not been connecting for the past couple of hours. And lol on that Rajini joke.
Though I didn’t feel it, some parts of Chennai have felt the third aftershocks slightly right now. So, Tsunami alert has been increased for a further couple of hours but chances of it hitting are virtually non-existent. Beach road is closed right now though. Nature always works like that though. When you are expecting it most, nothing happens. When you are completely unawares, it fucks you right in the back like in 2004.
Good news coming across now as far as India is concerned. Hope Reds across Indonesia, Singapore are all right.
Don’t rate Richards as Right back, seems loose and undisciplined and sometimes too often out of position. Not the ideal technical right back BUT he is the best England have ahead of Kyle Walker and our Jones and Smalling.
Read on Sky Teletext, Rio and Scholes to be rest and Smalling,Nani and Clevs to start.
So Im going with with my predicted line up of…….
De Gea, Rafael. Smalling, Evans, Evra,Nani,Cleverley,Giggs,Young,Chicharito,Welbeck
With,
Amos,Jones,Fabio, Carrick,Pogba,Valencia.Rooney on the bench.
Papii
I do not think Rooney will be rested, why should he?
Hey Bobbycharlie, fucking spot.
Gigs12, shouldn’t that be ‘council house’ ?
Thoughts are with you and yours Balaj
More important than football.
Costas – is it me or is the pundits and certain players just using its all down to the manager to piss on the united players, to make themselves feel better that they would have been right all the long if it was not for fergie. Now its not been a great united side at times they can do a hell of allot better, for me we have missed out on a couple the past few years on a few gems in the long run.
But back to my point, we look at united’s options going forward in terms of opening sides up, carrick scholes giggs valencia young nani rooney and when playing and on his game berbatov, adding rafeal and evra helping out the wide boys We look at city’s options in terms of opening sides up, silva aguero and if he is playing well nasri, so they are very limited in the creative sense. I just think its down to united having better variety creating things than city do, and having better strength in depth at the back.
Oh yes city seem like they are 2 strikers down having boleteli and tevez, look at their 4 strikers, aguero bolleteli dxeko tevez. We look at united’s 4 strikers rooney welbeck hernandez berbatov. So really we look at city’s overall squad, its lacking depth at the back, very one paced and playing square balls in the midfield, limited in the creative sense when their only real creative threat is silva aguero and if he is playing well nasri, and very thing in the striker department. It makes you think, player for player we have actually got better strength in depth has the past 4 to 4 months have proven that
Tonight, wigan will pose a threat and it won’t be easy, they’re pretty good going forward and have fight in them as they’ve shown. united have to go into this game and try to dominate while up front be as clinical and ruthless as one can be. Everytime that 6-1 score line is brought up, it must motivate those players to drive forward and continue to fight for the ultimate aim.
Hi all, happy Wednesday.
All this talk of a Guard of Honour is a bit much to be honest. Not least for the fact that if Tevez, Kompany and Lescott are in the line up, it would be more like a Guard of Horror.
Personally, I don’t want it. I think Philco makes a good point about next years comedy manager, whoever that may be, using the fact they had to applaud us into their half empty stadium (anyone see that bit about season ticket holders for Wastelands saying they would not attend if we had won it already? Joke) to spur them on for next year.
What I really want is for us to win it there. I don’t care how. 1-6, well fought 2-3, proper shady biased ref giving us an offside pen for a one nil, pen gets saved, dodgy ref forces us to take it again until we score… What. The. Fuck. Ever. I just wanna see the squad and Sir Alex and all the staff running onto the pitch, City players utterly deflated, bitters shedding tears right left and centre amid scenes of unabashed joy from United fans and players. The clouds part, a single beam of light shines down into the centre circle and as crickets chirrup and birds tweet, the great man bathes in the glow.
That’ll knock the fuckin stuffing out of their cocking project. There’s no amount of oil money that can deal with that.
Tick fucking tock you Poznan Pricks.
fitb goughie and kanchelskis top posta lads.I actually dont think Madrid are as good as a lot make out. Their backline is dodgy. Khedira aint all that. Ozil cant see a game out. Di Maria is just a cunt. ronnie is the difference. I think Barca are like United. they build teams whereas Madrid and the bitters just spend obscene amounts. No coincidence us and Barca are coming into our own when it matters. That cunt Pepe was at it the other night rolling about to the extent arboloa got angry with him. inhouse fighting. Just like City.
bobbycharlie .Alright pal . No i completely agree and have said the same on Hillsborough. The RentBoys cant get dispensation yet the vermin do. like you say it was horrible but games shouldnt be shifted because of it. and yes Dogleash was worse than ever last night. What a nasty snide arrogant cunt. Saying they should get praise for last night after the abuse they have has from media. Oh fucking boo hoo Kenneth . Vile man.
When are the bitter gonna realise that 6:1 at OT was nothing more than a fluke?!!!!!
King Eric, Dogleash was hilarious last night. He’s like someone’s embarrassing grandad who just whines about everything. The praise for the abuse from the media comment is just amazing.
Kenny Dogleash, worst Pool manager since Michael Barrymore.
@King Eric
Alright fella.
You’re right that Ronnie carries them a certain way, and there’s a degree of mediocrity in their ranks. And, lest we forget, they have their fair share of cunts, just like Barca. Pepe – horrid cunt. Carvalho – cheating cunt. Di Maria – poncy cunt. As for Marcelo … I watched the start of their away CL quarter vs Apoel. Coentrao started at LB instead of him and he was sat on the bench. Coentrao – who’s not as good getting forward – got into the box and shanked a shot off target. Cut to the bench, where Marcelo is sat laughing and sarcastically applauding. What the fuck is that about? If anyone did that on the United bench, they’d be looking at a few weeks with the reserves.
Agree about that little tramp Dalglish as well. What’s his cocking problem? His team had just won with 10 men and a weakened side. His waste of space flop striker had scored a rare goal. The interviewer was not being needly or inflammatory – quite the opposite. Yet he still acts like a graceless little shit. Horrid little useless gremlin fuckwit.
BC ’68, Could not agree more amigo, complete with choice expletive where necessary.
The other end of the East Lancs road has ALWAYS been a place of the most undignified loathsome double standard issuing filth.
Admittedly, any Scousers I’ve encountered over the years, independently of any football related matters- on holiday or work scenarios and the like, have been more or less pretty decent- but once the Ayatollah Dogleash pipes up the fucking entire ‘Scouse Coke-selling to Underage/Minors’ (SCUM) community jump on the (stolen) bandwagon like we should all fucking step into line like good little obedient children.
It was a tragedy, of that there is no question, but for fucks sake it IS NOT an international day of mourning for the entire football community. If that were the case, for every football disaster/ period of mourning/ death of a legend- then there would be a window of one weekend in late November to play the entire league calender fixture programme, all of the FA Cup rounds, the League Cup, a testimonial and lob in a European competition to be played over a period of 72 hours encompassing a distance of circa 1,723 miles round trip (give or take) to be concluded in a one off final for all teams involved on a pitch the size of fucking Scotland.
As you also mentioned; Heysel, so, we’ll just keep schtum about that one shall we Kenneth? Michael (I didn’t do it but I know who did and I’m not a grass La) Shields and his murdering associates.
Munich Air crash, Torino plane crash, Bradford fire, Ibrox fire, Togo squad shot to shit on their coach, Egyptian riot/ carnage, Marc Vivian-Foe’s heart attack and the hundreds of fans who’ve died in football related accidents/violence- perhaps the game is just too dangerous- Fuck it, lets not play anymore.
Its a farce.
King Eric – I do think madrid have the stronger more complete squad, because barca rely to much on messi xavi iniesta and cesc, if barca did not have messi with their current defence, no mater how good their midfield is, messi masks the cracks in their squad. If barca like so many call an awesome squad was so good, would anyone swap their defenders and GK for united’s. If we had their GK and defence we would not be top
@FITB
That’s probably the case. But to be fair, it’s not just this season. Every United squad that’s on the verge of winning the title is the worst the pundits have ever seen. United players rarely get the players they deserve. Rooney is the only one that does from the current squad. But lads like Valencia, Carrick, Nani, Welbeck and Hernandez are underrated quite often. I don’t mind. This is one of our strengths.
Costas – I do not think its been a great side, but all the building blocks are there now, which at times even I thought they have fucked it up in november december and jan. But they have come back stronger than ever, work needs to be done in europe though. But a signing in midfield and on the CF position and perhaps move the likes of anderson on, and looks like berbatov and replace them 2, if we win this years title, I see us winning it again next yea. Has we will be ready
city took us by surprise this year early on, not now. We know how they play, how they will approach games. And fergie will make totally sure the title remains at OT
In recognition of MG’s work
http://www.agentoffergie.com/2012/04/guest-article-atacama-by-mg.html
Excellent stuff guys, hope all is well on the forum.
Don’t suppose LUFC White has been around recently if so Cedars give the Yorkshire man hell from me.
Keep the dream alive people.
UNITED
I want to know what a ”great side should be”! You can only play with your current opposition and if you win YOU are great. We may win the legue with a record number of points. And nobody tell me we are not playing great footbal go to the stats and check how many times the likes of Carrick, Scholes complete passes, so whats ”not great about this side”. I think we are getting this drummed into us by ABU media. We are on the verge of bagging the title with a record number of game s and YOU ARE NOT GREAT!!!! , NOT A GOOD UNITED SIDE!!!!!!, AVERAGE UTD SIDE, excetera , excetera, excetera… WTF does that mean?????????????
Hi guys, do u really think this squad is good enuf to challenge for Europe next season? I think we need two world class midfielders.. Even with them it’s hard to see us challenging barca, what do yous think???
Ronaldo is not in the same league as messi, messi is a team player , ronnies not, I hope barca beat real to everything , pepe , carvalio Ramos are dirty players and murinho is A joke.
