Robbo: The Prognosis Is Good

Manchester United fans sang “there’s only one Bryan Robson” on repeat during the 1-0 victory over Bolton at the weekend. After it was announced that he has had an operation to rid him of throat cancer, the former United captain has received a lot of support and is hopeful for the future.

“The prognosis is good, so I count myself extremely lucky and am even more committed to raising funds to help improve the lives of vulnerable youngsters,” said Robson. “I have been overwhelmed by the support of United fans and well-wishers, and I hope everyone in Asia joins me in supporting these events.”

  10. Everydayislikesunday says:

    I made it into the players lounge at Old Trafford back in the 80′s when I was a nipper, maybe I was 15 / 16. After last game season vs Ipswich, we lost 1-2, Robbo asked me did I want a beer and proceeded to hand me half a larger in one of those mini pint glasses. He had a solid silver bracelet on his wrist. I can see the hand with the beer in my mind’s eye as I write. . . . . and all those fucking brilliant goals. I love Brian Robson. I hope he lives forever.

  11. smartalex says:

    Great news! Well done Robbo, your strength is your strength.
    He is working hard for Unicef and United charities, Bryan Robson is a giving man.
    He has always given us everything, and more. Thank you Bryan.

  12. HARGREAVES' CURLY HAIR says:

    Glad to hear Robson’s operation was successful
    Wishing him a speedy recovery :)

    @Scott
    Thanks for starting a new thread as the previous one was filled with comments and it was difficult to load the page.

    Lads hope the majority of us may stick to the topic as last night’s rants with a fellow poster[don't wanna mention any names] things almost got out of hands!

    There’s only one Captain Marvel! ;)

    United we stand!!!

  13. Red Typhoon says:

    GET WELL SOON ROBBO!!! You are a fighter and your fighting qualities will prevail!! This is Good News!!

  14. dela says:

    I’ve always regretted the fact that I never got to see Robbo in action live, particularly because of the comparisons that are constantly drawn between him and my boyhood hero- Roy Keane.

    This certainly is great news. Get well soon, Robbo.

  15. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Evans interview with the Beeeb. Fergie should take notes from Jonny. Might show how to be humble and not get banned.

  23. Onside says:

    Bryan Robson remains my favourite United player of all-time. I named my son after him (Bryan, not Robson). Even David Beckham picked him as his favourite, and the reason Becks jumped at the chance to inherit Cantona’s number 7 shirt was because it was the number Robbo wore.

    For the record, Robbo scored twice as many goals for United as Keane did, minus all the sending-offs, except for a dubious one at Sunderland in 1986.

    Get well soon, Robson.

  30. IAMNOTAMAN says:

    Cancer never stood a fucking chance.

    Nice one Robbo.

  31. Rai says:

    I actually had the pleasure of meeting the great man himself when he moved to Walsall. He was walking with his wife (this was when he took over as Baggies manager) and I was on the opposite side of the road, I didn’t want to bother him as he was on his phone…I stood and saluted him!! Only for a split second but he crossed over the road and told the caller he’d speak to them later. I just stood and froze like an idiot but he came over and shook hands and had a quick chat! Again, top bloke.

  32. TonyBee says:

    best Robson quote I ever heard was from Big Ron Atkinson…..
    stating there wast boozing club at OT when he came in as Manager….Robson, Whiteside & McGrath…
    he said he got rid of 2 of them but said Robson came in even earlier after each session and worked off the booze by training even harder…..

  33. StatesideAussie says:

    Great news. I wish him the best, because he is the best.

  34. TonyBee says:

  36. slim says:

    @TonyBee

    Just saying on the previous thread that the international break will get a lot of ppl talking a whole lot of garbage

    @GHTT

    So true. Don’t feel like talking about Robbo(Why on Gods green earth,i don’t know) no need to spout stuff like that. Anyways good news and good luck to captain marvel. I’m one of the many supporters who never got to see him play, but always knew he was great for United

  37. willierednut says:

    Onside – Fair point about Robbo’s goal scoring ability. Keano did lose It on the pitch, but Robbo was injury prone at times. You wouldn’t want either player to change their style on the pitch, would you? In any case, two proper legends, who we could do with now.

    Maureen? The spackled one???, Don’t want it in a million years. If it happens, sigh, I feel I will have to forgo the managers pre and post match as I can’t stomach the man.
    Thing is, I am a red. Can’t imagine that even the spackled one can change that. But it could come close. Just have to use regular mouth wash and bathe 3 times a day on match days so I don’t feel revulsion at my own skin. It won’t be pretty. We could survive, just.

    No wait, another thing to revile the Glazers for………hiring the spackled one!

  48. King Eric says:

    Fantastic news. The best all round midfield player I have seen. Hard as nails. Boyhood idol. Just a shame he never got his hundredth goal but not a bad scoring record really. Great player.

    Gotta hate. How are you pal? Good to hear from you, rarely see on here nowadays. Spot on james about polluting a thread about the great robbo with that portugese clown.

  49. MG says:

    So now a cricketer and a failed ex England captain knows that Sir Alex is going and Mourinho is coming

    He just passed that news on to someone who passed that news on who further passed that news on

    As a Unitedfan since 68 kaptain Marvel is my all time hero at United. When on the pitch in those hard 80′s he always gave us hope with guts and inspiration to the other lads as he drove the team forward. Had he not been so plagued with injuries we would have gone for number 20 now. Wish Robbo all the best.

    G’dnight reds

    Wherever you may be may a light shine on your world – and especially to you Captain Marvel

  61. Rai says:

    @ King Eric – I swear he can’t be a United fan with the amount the spunks over Chelsea and Liverpool. Irani is a twat. He just agrees with whatever Brazil says and adds the odd comment here and there – he should talk about cricket that’s all he knows….and he was shit at that too

  62. TK says:

    Get well soon Sir..A great Legend and a real Gentleman ,

  63. King Eric says:

    Rai. I know mate. I really don’t like him. Waxing lyrical about what a great leader of men and top player terry is this morning. He recalls games from years back but never gets the score or facts about the game right. Fucking idiot. Him and especially brazil are a pair of cunts. Sneering at brazils comment this morning about fergie giving his horse winnings to united having read the papers. Fuck off both of you.

  64. fergie is the boss says:

    King Eric – we had robson of 24 today we would have basically won the league by now, and thats a fact lols

  65. Tannor says:

    Scot where have you being?
    am a recent United fan (since 1997) and as such don’t know much about this legend but with news about his illness the way you guys are showing lots of respect and support, i can’t help but join in the chorus and wish him a speedy recorvery.
    this international break is boring with Scot leaving us with no new threads, except i hope that Ghana beats England.

  66. United4eva says:

    You think about what Robbo did for United and it makes you laugh Chelsea fans calling Terry Captain, Leader, Legend. Robbo was a real captain, leader and legend. I’m glad he’s looking ok.

  67. Jaandsdad says:

    Get well soon Captain Marvel!

  68. bobkoh says:

    Love Robbo, saw him play for England & scoring a penalty against Wales in the old Home International at the old Wembley. Funny England should be playing Wales this Sat. Must a a good omen for Robbo!

  69. samuel - united We stand says:

    Get well soon Buddxm

    i meant buddy

  71. RedScot says:

    Speedy recovery Captain Marvel, as i conveyed to the Old Cockney Sparra yesterday, on the blog.Following the Trawler, where he produced great pictures of Bryan.

  72. King Eric says:

    Fuck me. Is there any wonder ingerlund are shite when players like freak crouch and brickie milner are wheeled out by sky giving it large. Milner a left winger? All I can say is thank fuck united have nani. Milner is a muscled up beefcake brick head who is shit , no less on the fucking wing. What the fuck are they feeding em on down wastelands? Fucking steroids. Aside from silva they all look like fucking weightlifters. Milner, yoyo, de jong, konpany and so on. No wonder the cunts can’t even run.

    Goodnight.

  73. ancha says:

    good morning all

    hello King Eric, how are you doing
    even though I despise those cunts, you have to agree that Kompany along with De jong are the main reason why they are still in contention for top four position and both these players were signed by Hughes, for all the money they have spent on yaya,Silvia,milner,dzeko,balotelli etc they would still be struggling in mid table if not for these two, both these players have cost them only 24m if you compare that with what they have spent on those shit players they have a lesson within their team itself that splashing cash doesn’t guarantee anything, I’m very much happy that they have that clueless clown as their manager as they are never going to win anything with his tactics even if they have world’s best XI and that’s where we have been very lucky for last two decades

  74. ancha says:

    hello smartalex
    with Rio you never know when he will be playing or when he will get injured, that has been the case for the last two years, so I feel that unless we see him in starting eleven on matchday we can’t be sure whether he is fit or not, even if the boss says so

  75. redrider says:

    We are with you Robbo…

    And…
    Mourinho could come to United.

    Obama could stay out of Libya.

    Nordic aliens could reveal themselves.

    Chamakh could look into a mirror.

  76. smartalex says:

    hello ancha
    Absolutely agree, we are never sure with Rio, even if he’s down to play, there have been a couple of injuries during warm ups. That in itself is not unusual, but his total games per season have been very low.

  77. jespermoses says:

    Fantastic news!…….not out the woods yet but you know Robbo will beat it!Nice one mate

  78. ancha says:

    if at all Mourinho comes to OT for a job, put him as our no 2, assistant to SAF, Looking at the way he reacts with respect to us I think he will be more than happy to take up that role ;)
    what do you think guys

  79. ancha says:

    That will be one hell of a dugout

  80. jespermoses says:

    @ancha….dont want him and circus anywhere near Old Trafford…..the mans a clown!

  81. ancha says:

    jespermoses

    if he comes as assistant to SAF, I don’t think SAF would allow all that circus

  82. newtown_red says:

    Although a formidable dugout,Mourinho will never become a assistant manager, no matter how much respect he shows.I think its more likely that he will go back to Chelsea, which i think he said himself.

  83. jespermoses says:

    I hear ya but cant see him as a number two.He’ll be going back to Chelsea if anywhere,although I dont know what his relationship with Abramovich is like nowadays

  84. markynorbs says:

    Robbo was my first United hero. The man was unstoppable on his day.
    What a player. What a guy. What a legend.
    Cheers for the memories. Get well soon Captain Marvel.

  85. ancha says:

    I guess the obvious option will be shitty rather than chelsea for Mourinho

    anyway this is an exclusive and interesting piece from daily mail

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1369316/The-new-recruits-Desportivo-Brasil–Manchester-Uniteds-South-American-talent-factory.html

    looks like we are having an another academy in south America, which means we may be seeing a lot of samba boys at OT in future, I think its a nice setup to have

  86. ancha says:

    the report of SAF hearing, over his comments on Atkinson is all over the news

  87. RedToTheCore says:

    Great News!

    Lucky enough to have met the man in person – get well soon Robbo….

  88. ancha says:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1369231/Leos-London-Harry-Redknapp-knew-Rafael-van-der-Vaart-trouble.html
    he is a fat sulking cunt with some talent, I wonder since the first month after his signing how much did he contribute to spurs, very little I guess

  89. james says:

    Get well soon Robbo!

    I like turtles!

  90. newtown_red says:

    The Brazilian academy will benefit united, but it all depends on the sort of talent that is recruited by the academy.Also our partnership with Fc Twente will hopefully get the players to acclimatise to European football quicker.
    Quite funny how all brazillians look the same to journalists.Don’t know where they got Douglas Costa from.Comedy gold.

  91. ancha says:

    1. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Vs Bayern Munich Champion’ s
    League final 1999 –
    In the words of Radiohead – ‘ No surprises’
    this is top . Any United fan on the planet would have difficulty
    not picking this as their favourite last – minute goal. Picture the
    scene , you’ re Sepp Blatter , you hate English football and
    Manchester United even more , you’ re glad to see that the
    superb example of German excellence Bayern Munich have
    beaten them. You prepare to go down from your royal seat to
    pitch level to hand over the trophy to the lovely Lothar Matthaus . You enter the
    lift , reliably informed that the Munich ribbons have already been added to the
    trophy, you go down, the lift doors open ……………………AND SOLSKJAER HAS
    WON IT !!!
    source: footballfancast.com/redflagflyinghigh.com
    I have shared this because the description of sepp blatter and all was too good to miss

  92. musca says:

    sorry guys, off topic. but is man utd really interested in buying chamberlaine? i really hope thats not true :(

  93. gerkeo says:

    @ancha: that was lennart johansson (former Uefa chief) not Blatter in the lift, the source is wrong. johansson even said sorry for losing to Sir Bobby when going to the lift

  94. ancha says:

    gerkeo

    sorry, my mistake, I should’ve changed the name there but I was just reposting so didn’t bother about the details, I just liked the way the writer put it that’s only reason for posting it as the facts are already known by all

  95. newtown_red says:

    I think Sepp Blatters name is just put in there as asort of joke.I hope.

  96. ancha says:

    musca

    at 10m and looking at the market for the last two seasons this buy if goes through isn’t major one, still I know that 10m is lot of money, in case of chamberlaine I think it’s worth it as he is English and definitely has potential

  97. newtown_red says:

    Why the hell are the FA after Sir Alex to apologize. Where the hell is the apology from Atkinson and the FA to our club for screwing us over more than once.No ass kissing is required, but a simple statement that the ref did not perform the duties he is paid to perform would be sufficient.What is the point of the respect campaign if refs are under no pressure to learn from their damned mistakes.At least in rugby, if a ref makes a mistake he will come out and say he made a mistake, and will face disciplinary action. Why is it that it is only the managers of football clubs who are expected to apologize when the officials fuck up their hard work in the training ground.Some form of apology to them would show that the FA still have some decency in their corrupt organization.

  98. ancha says:

    but I feel Ravel Morrison has more about him than that chamberlain guy and both are of same age and play in similar roles, so I don’t think we will buy him

  99. RedToTheCore says:

    @ newtown_red 10:12

    Well fucking said my man, couldn’t of put it better myself! Respect is a 2 way thing and hat off to you for saying it as it is my fellow Red….

  100. CedarsDevil says:

    Morning all true reds…

    What fantastic news regarding Robbo, if anyone will fully beat this than it has to be him…..

    Loved the earlier comment by Willie, a midfield of Robbo and Keane? Blimey, I do not think opposition teams will even turn out, they would be scared shit less.

  101. shebangsthedrums says:

    Anyone watching the wright stuff, I’m sure Terry Christian is wearing a RoM T-shirt. Good lad.

  102. newtown_red says:

    Also, its about time the media started paying Sir Alex the respect that the he deserves.I think they went a bit to far this time calling for a lengthier ban a increased fine. Writing shit about Fergie as if he is a senile old man who just became a manager of some relegation battling team.Show some class, in fact grow some balls and actually mention that united were cheated out of points which caused Fergie to lose his cool.Fegies apparent abuse continues to the big news but United being robbed of points due to bad officiating is barely remembered.Although if it was United instead of Chelsea, and even if we won a treble(again) this season, how united were gifted the league due to bad officiating will continue to be the big news until 2020, while the treble that was won will be swept under the carpet as something that is easy to do(and probably hype up Arsenal to get the treble in the next season without needing the refs help.Getting fed up with the media these days.Feel sorry for the fans that have to put up with this shit everyday.

  103. King Eric says:

    ancha – Morning mate. Well I think Kompany is a decent player yes but its Tevez that has put them in the top 4. Certainly not De Jong who I don’t rate. He is just a fat squat limited beefcake.

    Oh surprise. I said on here months ago that Van Der Vaart wouldnt be all that great. Either injured or fucking sulking. He had a good August to October and thats about it..

    I think the South American academy is a great idea. Just shows the lengths United go to to keep ahead.

  104. King Eric says:

    Chamberlain looks a bloody good player to be fair. Its interesting that in 4 -4 -2 this months he says after their game against us Giggsy and Scholesy went up to him and told him to keep it up.

  105. King Eric says:

    newtown red – Spot on pal. The way they talk about Fergie you would think he is some two bit manager. He is a knight of the realm yet they call him “Ferguson” and “Fergie”. They afford cockney chancer Redknapp and Wenger more respect the cunts.

  106. wayne says:

    dunno if anyone has mentioned this rio could be back april 6th first leg against rentboys

  107. CedarsDevil says:

    King Eric

    Regarding VDV you have it spot on. Every pundit in the UK had multiple orgasms about the so called buy of the season and how great Harry was in making that signing. As you said he had a good start but I have hardly heard his name mentioned in the last 3 to 4 months. Sadly even some United fans cried at losing out on him.

    Funny thing is some of those so called experts would not admit that Hernandez is by FAR the buy of the season….

  108. gerkeo says:

    David May has a bit of a sing song, whos that twat from argentina….

  109. King Eric says:

    Cedars – Morning mate, how are you? Yeah spot on . Haven’t heard his name either since last November.

  110. wayne says:

    i read about chamberlain sir alex has told southampton utd will beat all bids,

  111. gerkeo says:

    Chris Smalling has been far more impressive that VDV also this season, to drop into the back 4 in place of Rio and to be earning rave reviews is a major achievement.

  112. CedarsDevil says:

    gerkeo

    Well said re Smalling, but would you think anything outside United would admit that? Na

    The media and pundits sicken me, last thing they ever want to credit is a player that is at United, however their hate will continue to make us stronger…

    UNITED

  113. CedarsDevil says:

    gerkeo

    What a fantastic link mate, David May what a bloody United legend… More so for what he has been doing since retiring. A true United supporter… Love him

  115. gerkeo says:

    @CedarsDevil: David May is a man you’d be careful going for a few pints with, the guy seems mental, His chapter in Andy Mittens Glory Glory is hilarious especially about Schmikes and the kettle

  116. CedarsDevil says:

    wayne

    Worry not mate, we will never be fooled again. With our new South American academy with links to Twente, we will make stars and NOT buy them…..

    We WILL continue to rule the world

    Phil Thompson thinks Rooney should have been made England captain, in a way I agree but I also think the lack of respect he shows fans should be taken into account. If he doesn’t like us booing when he isn’t captain whats he gonna be like when he is, just sayin’:

  121. wayne says:

    @Cedars hi mate yeah i read that aswell pre-deals with 5 brazilian youngsters,when it comes to spotting talent worldwide utd are way ahead of any other club,pretty amazing really and i’d rather them invest 60mill in all these networks than spend 60mill on one player.might be wrong can’t see sir alex ever spending 60mill on a player.

  122. CedarsDevil says:

    wayne

    Well said my friend, spend 60 mil on a future that would give me 5 or 6 stars is much wiser than spending it on a tranny.

  123. willierednut says:

    Pastore won’t go for 60 million Wayne. That’s Palermo playing silly buggers. I think the manager has already identified the players for next season. I expect United to do the business quickly and get ahead of everyone else.

  124. willierednut says:

    Neuer won’t be coming to United then? That leaves De Gea, Adler and the lad from Ajax.

  125. King Eric says:

    Yes Wayne pal it seems Neur hasn’t the balls top join a big club. 60 fucking million for Pastore? Like you say its gone mad. Would rather blood the like sof Morrison, Tunnicliffe etc next season than waste silly money on these “players of the day” .

  126. parryheid says:

    Dont forget the ITK gus prediction,that’s still a runner.

  127. King Eric says:

    parryheid – ITK? Whats that pal?

  128. wayne says:

    yeah don’t know about you guys but watching the twins,smalling,hernandez,reignites my enjoyment and excitement in the game instead of watching some jaded twat who’s only at the club because they were the highest bidder and he’s on 200k a week.

  129. willierednut says:

    King Eric – He will join a big club mate, Bayern.

  130. King Eric says:

    willie – Will he really? After the abuse he got there? Fuck him then.

  131. King Eric says:

    wayne – spot on at 13.13

  132. parryheid says:

    King Eric.

    in the know.

  133. wayne says:

    @Willie think you’re right mate probably got the deals in place already.read something i found ironic juve are trying to unload buffon to get money for a berba bid apparantly utd aren’t interested we’ve been linked with him for years.if the utd goalie coach was in germany last week watching adler more than likely
    @King Eric its stupid soon as rumors break and the press start talking a player up the fee rises 20mill overnight

  134. Costas says:

    Neuer conceded a goal from a Greek left back more than 70 yards away from goal a few weeks back. I think his stock kind of plummeted there. ;)

    I’d still go with Stekelenburg.

  135. Tomo1982 says:

    On topic, the first game I ever saw at OT was Robbo’s testimonial at Celtic. I was too young to see him live at his absolute peak, but I have seen enough videos and had it drilled in to me how much of an inspiration he was.

    I remember the programme from that game had an advert with a subbutteo player representing each one of Robbo’s seasons with us and all had some kind of bandage to represent the major injuries he suffered that year… what a warrior.

    Had a lump in my throat when the chants started on Saturday, lets hear it even louder and longer for the remaining games, wishing you all the best in your recovery Captain Marvel.

  136. parryheid says:

    King Eric

    The only reason I mentioned that guys prediction is because Two days ago on a tv show I think about the forthcoming international matches our former goalkeeper from some time past was talking about the same man and highlighting his suitability to United.Doo Doo Doo Doo.

  137. YorYor says:

    @smartalex and Devil310
    Thanks for the video links, helps us overseas plastic fans keep in touch with the developing players.
    Really looking forward to seeing Pogba play in our midfield. If only the supporters would give him 2
    years in the team… and he develops like we expect players with potential to…

  138. YorYor says:

    Bryan Robson’s a quiet fighter. He’ll pull through, especially when there’s talk of it being detected fairly early. Robbo, kill it with tom-yum soup! Extra spicy clear stock type!

  139. indiandevil says:

    Awesome news, get well son Captain Marvel!

  140. musca says:

    ancha

    yeah thats my concern. and didnt we have a lot of wingers already? if we give obertan/morrison/brady a chance to play they might become what’s nani/beckham/ronaldo now, who knows?? chamberlain has potential, but i dont know why i dont see anything unique about him other than his pace. and nowadays, theres so many wingers out there with paces. i dont follow him much anyways, so i might not know a lot about him.

  141. Jeet says:

    sell nani, buy chamberlain
    Sorry…utterly bored…

  142. musca says:

    @ king eric

    scholes and giggsy said that to him? then he must be pretty good i suppose. but i still have concerns that we have too many wingers already. heard utd is interested in young too. young is a good player, but still, another winger. i’d like to see our youth got promoted than we’re signing another wingers i suppose. maybe the right signing would be for goalkeeper or the attacking midfielder instead of winger.

  143. King Eric says:

    parryheid – Which player are we talking about mate?

    musca – Yeah mate. He was asked what the highlight of his career was. He said it was playing United. He also said it was fantastic to watch Nani when he came on. He finished by saying that Scholes and Giggs came up to him after the game and said “Keep it up” or words to that effect.

  144. Zelh says:

    Costas – Same here. I think Stekelenburg is the cheapest and most likely solution. De Rossi 1 year left on his contract if he doesn’t extend it in the summer.
    Would be the perfect replacement because Imo Hargo won’t come back from his injuries..

    And let’s see if Ferguson is in for Douglas Costa(s) ;)
    He’s after him for years now.

  145. King Eric says:

    As far as I am aware Chamberlain can play anywhere across the midfield. Centrally or as a winger. Gotta say he looked decent against us. Good feet, composed, can run with the ball, good passer, scores goals and pacey. He looks to be much more than just pace.

    Although having watched more of Obertan recently he may actually become a player. I have never really rated him BUT just recently he has looked good. Its a big difference though doing it for the first team.

  146. musca says:

    @king eric

    i never followed him closely, but maybe you do mate. whats his specialties actually if you dont mind highlighting them?

  147. musca says:

    @ king eric

    ahh sorry mate, you already highlighted them before i ask you. thanks :)

    but 10 mil for him? isnt it too much? isnt young cost the same too? and plus young can take the free kicks.

  148. Zelh says:

    If Obertan could conserve his game from reserves into the first team he could already be a decent player.
    maybe he can’t handle the pressure.

  149. parryheid says:

    King Eric

    Last time I mentioned his name it got rubbished and stick came my way like it was My prediction not a point of interest I put up,so I’ll just wait and see what develops close season.

  150. musca says:

    zelh

    yeah. when we first bought him everybody said he’s a promising winger. if we’re getting chamberlain, i hope the same thing wont be happened to him. remember tosic? such a good player and highly rated by SAF. he can finish, taking corner kicks and free kicks. but maybe because he cant handle the pressure, plus lack of game and we had him sold. another waste of young promising winger :(

  151. King Eric says:

    No I do not rate Ashley Young, not at all. Would love to see more of Douglas Costa. Saw him in Shaktars Europa league run and against Fulham. The lad looks fucking quality.

    parryheid – Give me a clue mate.

    I agree with Willie. Any business will be done as soon as, much like the Smalling and Hernandez deals.

  152. King Eric says:

    Tosic looked shite to be honest.

  153. Zelh says:

    musca – Imo the most important thing is that he is naturally left-footed.
    That’s why Ferguson could fav Douglas Costa. Dunno if Chamberlain is left-footed.

    Besides Costa is able to take excellent freekicks. Can play everywhere in midfield, has great skills on the ball and great shot from outside the box.

  154. Zelh says:

    and like King Eric said looks fucking quality.

  155. musca says:

    king eric

    im not a fans of young either. when we first bought tosic i was getting chilled to hear that we’re getting a winger that can do well in set pieces. saw his video in youtube and bla bla bla and he looks pretty decent. he looked shite with us maybe because he rarely plays? some of the people even rated him as the replacement for sir ryan giggs. whatever it is, whoever we’re buying i hope our youth will get the chance to stepping up too.

  156. CedarsDevil says:

    Shit that makes my blood boil, an alleged ‘United’ fan since 1968 calls in and says he is sure that Arsenal will win the league, Stoke or shitty will win the FA Cup and no way United will win the CL. He also spouts the worst crap of all claiming that SAF should leave immediately whilst he retains some sort of dignity.

    Perhaps not a United supporter by any means yet shit like that gets the worst out of me, fucking dumb piece of shit…

    Oh and evening reds

  157. willierednut says:

    I think he’s talking about Gordon, KE.

  158. musca says:

    zelh

    ahh how sad that i missed watching costa playing against fulham. sounds pretty good and he’s young. wonder how much it cost if we’re getting him.

  159. Zulu-Malta says:

    Afternoon mates. Interesting news. Still pissed about the FA screwing us over yet again, and the media in seventh heaven trying to rub it in. Right, we will do it without them………Again.

    These stories of SAF meeting with the Beeb director Thompson are interesting. Interesting that they have been pushed to the end of the season. Interesting that there is no date. Interesting that there precious little in it for United. Think it will be pushed back and then pushed back. Maybe until after the retirement dinner, just saying.

  161. Zelh says:

    musca – Won’t be a cheap one. I think something around 20 mio € is likely.

  162. musca says:

    cedarsdevil

    evening mate

    how does the man calling you sounded like? if he sounded like a French then you’re must be getting a call from Arsene Wenger that’s frustrated of not winning any trophies for 6 consecutive years. if he sounded like an Italian then it must be from Roberto Mancini for that his club never win any trophies for… wait, 30 something years?

  163. musca says:

    Zelh

    20 something? woww. i remembered that we signed ronaldo for like 12 million. wonder when will be getting a quality player with such prices ever again.

  164. King Eric says:

    willie – Oh god yes. Nooooo!!

    Cedars – Hello mate. Where was that? Which show? I tell you mate half the cunts that claim to be United fans and call talkshite are fucking liars. You hear them slating Fergie and then bigging up the likes of Terry etc. They ain’t United fans. Just mock fans so that we look daft on Radio. Tar United fans with the same brush and all that!!

    I was pretty disgusted last night. Posh cunt Saggers on about Terracing at grounds so certain sections can stand. All they kept going on about is justice for the 96 and how it would be unfair on the scousers. Err hows about justice for the 39?

  165. Costas says:

    @Cedars

    Evening mate. At least I hope that guy is right and Stoke win the cup. Among all those failures and Fergie quitting the club, our only consolation will be City winning fuck all yet again. :)

  166. King Eric says:

    Don’t forget lads Cleverley, Smalling and Wellbeck in action for the under 21′s later on.

  167. parryheid says:

    Willierednut.

    right on the money,but I didn’t mention his name

  168. CedarsDevil says:

    Hi guys

    The show was on PLTV, the guy calling in was from Malaysia (Again allegedly)

    There is another show in just over 2 hours and if those bastards get me on I will rip that cunt to shreds

  169. Zelh says:

    musca – Well it’s just what I think. Dunno what Shaktar has in mind. something around 15 mio pounds would be okay in todays transfermarket.

  170. FletchTHEMAN says:

    As to Tosic? WTF. He came, he saw, he left on his bleedin sword. It must be some CIA plot everytime there is a discussion of United rejects some lads come on here and suggest that we didn’t give him a chance. He only makes about half the games for CSKA Moscow. Doing a bit of research. The Russian league rates a bit below portugal in quality.

    Tosics goals since joining CSKAM.
    1 v Anzhi Makhachkala in Russian Premier League.
    2 v Anorthosis of Cyprus (Europa)
    1 v Porto (Europa)

    Think there might be one more, giving him 5 goals in 16 games I thing. Nice little player, but give Ferguson a bit of credit.

  171. smartalex says:

    Good afternoon and an even better evening, Red friends! Come on United!

  176. musca says:

    FletchTHEMAN

    well said and agreed. and i wonder where’s tosic now?

    in another thing, just saw the best of frank ribery on youtube and i kinda like this guy and imagining him in our shirt. love his pass, spot kick, crossing and touch. theres a lot of united fans dont like him and i know this is a suicide statement so i better go now. byee. haha :D

  177. CedarsDevil says:

    Best of evenings smartalex…

    Willie, I want Giggs to play every Saturday, just not next one! :-) My response to Gould of course

  178. Zelh says:

    Fletchtheman – Ribery really? :D
    If he’s in form he’s top class but most of the season he’s mediocre. look what rafael did with him in CL. made him look like an amateur.

  179. smartalex says:

    Thank you CedarsDevil!

    Giggs can’t play, he didn’t make Bale.

  180. musca says:

    zelh

    haha it was actually me and not fletchtheman :D

    i know , thats why i said its a suicide statement. his form has been poor these 2, 3 seasons, and he doesnt seems as fast as before. haha and agreed on what rafael did to him. but his crossing is still influential in my opinion. i remembered he cross the ball to robben before robben got the winning goal against us.

    p/s: im not a fan of robben. his celebration when he scored that goal still makes me vomit bloods.

  181. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Zelh, Don’t think I ever talked about Ribery. you do have me confused mate. I was talking about Tosic. But we can talk about little Frank. Not a fan of his either. Maybe a couple of years ago I suggested that Ribery and Scholes would make one hell of an ugly midfield. Now he is much to old, too expensive, and still insanely ugly, on a free maybe. Something like a Micky Owen type of deal. Anything else would be too much. Cheers

  182. CedarsDevil says:

    FletchTHEMAN

    Did you catch my response to your query on the previous post?

    smartalex, L O fucking L

  183. musca says:

    FletchTHEMAN

    agreed. too old and too expensive. Bayern requested 50mil from Real Madrid when Real asked for him. i just love his vision and creativity and i never meant to be sounded like a gay :D

  184. Zelh says:

    fletchtheman – I just confused myself. It wasn’t you but musca :)

  185. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Talk about disrespecting the manager. Who the F$#*&&&(>>>!!!!!)%k picks the images of SAF at the Guardian. They must snap 1000s of images every game and a couple hundred every news conference and what?! They go and pick one with his eyes half cocked and a finger up his nose.

    UNNNNNNNNN BELIEVABLE !

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/mar/24/alex-ferguson-bbc-director-general

    @CedarsDevil, yes I did, and did you catch my response to you? Lucky there are very few posts this week so even the uninitiated will be able to join in this fun. Cheers

  186. CedarsDevil says:

    FletchTHEMAN

    Sorry I did not get your response mate! Hundreds of posts makes it difficult to catch a reply!

    To be fair to the Guardian (Not that I want to, the picture is fine)

  187. willierednut says:

    Well, they could have took a picture of him on the toilet. No one wants to see that!

  188. Devil310 says:

    What about Lloris?

    He spoke highly of us recently…in the lines of it would be a “dream” to go to United. Based on the choices out there, Lloris might be a decent one. Good Experience, tall, talented. Decent player overall.

  189. parryheid says:

    Lioris an absolute Dud makes David James look half decent.

  190. Devil310 says:

    Thank you for your wisdom, parryheid. Your insight and contribution in the matter is enlightening.

    Who would you recommend to be the next United GK?

  191. parryheid says:

    Devil310.

    I wouldn’t even try to guess who the next United keeper is but I sure as hell hope it isn’t Lioris.He is a flapper of the highest order.I might add my point is not based on the fact he is in the frame But on every performance in the games I have seen him in he is useless at crossed balls.You on the other hand may have seen him live regularly me only on tv.

  192. King Eric says:

    Fucking Ribery? No ta. Noncey cunt.

  193. King Eric says:

    Yeah gotta admit Lloris isnt for me I am afraid. He lets about three goals in a game.

  194. james21 says:

    King Eric I’d love to listen to you on Talkshite giving all the ABU’S Shit. Two words to Collymore. ANDY COLE.
    Bryan Robson was one of the finest signings of all time. Can still see his thundercracking goals like the FA Cup Semi final against The Scouse shite. Total legend and finished with a Premier League winners medal. Hope this is the end of his cancer. All the very best Bryan.

  195. King Eric says:

    James21. Hello mate. Cheers. Ha. Two words. Andy cole. Exactly james. He is bitter as fuck about that and with reason. He was all set to sign wasn’t he and then got back from a break or summat and found out we had signed coley. Ha ha. I hate the bastard with a passion but to be fair in his day he could play and was a bloody good striker. Powerful. Two footed. Quick and knew where the net was. But what a fucking cunt. A self opinionated, arrogant, believes his own hype bird beating dogging bastard. Loathsome character. Thinks he knows it all yet has won fuck all. If you try and prove him wrong he just talks piffle over the top of the caller. Horrible man. His only claim to fame and he is still dining out on it is scoring the winner for the dippers in a four three win over the geordies. Wow stan. Well done. Meanwhile giggs has won european cups and eleven league titles and league and fa cups. Joker.

  196. james21 says:

    Was at OT Against Forest when he scored 2 just couldn’t handle him.
    I thought that signing Cole sent him into meltdown aparently when he found out he stormed out of training, Collymore was a done deal acording to the papers. Can’t stand Alan Green myself.
