“Some players even cry now in the dressing room – Bryan Robson never used to cry.”
Sir Alex Ferguson doesn’t appeared to be too impressed with the softer nature to football players these days, but who do you think he could be talking about? Whilst we obviously know that Cristiano Ronaldo is a crier, who do you think sheds a tear in the dressing room after games?
Patrice Evra certainly wears his heart on his sleeve despite not showing tears on the pitch. He managed to keep his emotions in check whilst in public at the World Cup, but could he show his sensitive side in private?
Did Darren Fletcher have a little cry following his unjust red card against Arsenal which saw him miss the European Cup final?
Nani is often compared with Cristiano Ronaldo. Is hard to believe that Nani might enjoy a bit of a cry during the good/bad times like Ronnie?
Man Utd News 24/7
I’m wiling to bet that despite the tough guy exterior our Serbian murderer has, Vidic is definitely one.
Macheda, the emotional Italian.
Nani, no doubt
I reckon Anderson as well
Vidic has never cried. I don’t think there’s anyone in the world I could imagine crying less. Smashing shit to pieces in a violent rage, absolutely, crying, no.
Nani for sure,Even hernandez would cry.
Gotta be Carrick and maybe Rafael
@Failsworth Devil
Yeah Rafael, after Bayern Munich.
Owen Hargreaves? After his latest setback. Could be a bit of motivation on Fergie’s part.
Fernando Torres after EVERY match.
Bryan Robson was my boyhood hero……..To me the greatest captain of United throughout the early 80s
I bet he was talking about the slippery LEGEND and LEADER…
If it was Rafael after Munich@OT, I would excuse and understand
I dont think it would be Ando – the fucker doesnt look like he cares enough
Vidic crying? dont think so.. he is our captain for crying out loud.. and the man is probably made of steel.
I think some of the younger guys,
maybe the new ones, who are not used to Sir Alex’ ways..
Nothing wrong with crying, the game is really too emotional at times, how many fans can claim that they did not cry at one point or another………
Special tribute though to Bryan Robson, what a player, what a captain and what an inspiration he was to our club……….. Captain Marvel, I will always love you
I have seen Rio crying couple of times while playing for England. Specially after World Cup 2006.
I voted other….John Terry obviously
rafael he’s even admitted it himself!
Mangesh, Rio was obviously crying over the pathetic state of the English team and the standard of the undroppables. Even thinking about it brings a tear to my eye.
Vidic’s tears can cure cancer……. unfortunately he has never cried.
I know Vidic’s tears can cure all diseases , its a shame he never crys
It has to be Nani, he copies most things Ronaldo does.
Chicharito is quoted yesterday in saying “when my father told me the news manchester united want to sign me – I cried ”
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo………………
12% said Fletcher ???? Scots dont cry as far as I know – Hard
Do not really see the fuss here, is there a shame in a man crying? I cried when my dad passed away, I cried when I first held my new born baby girl, ffs I even cried when I watched Rocky 2!! Does it make you less of a man? Of course NOT
GHTT – Not true mate, Sir Alex cried when he heard the FSW was leaving Liverpool.
CedarsDevil – Oh dear mate, you’re not the sensitive type, are you? lol.
@ GHTT
beat you to it by a half a minute buddy….
What is it they say about great minds?
Good oul Chuck Norris Quotes
willie
LOL, far from it my friend, just highlighting a point. If we judge men by the fact that whether or not they have cried at a certain point in their lives than that is the wrong barometer mate….
tevez the dirty bugger
http://premierleagueupdates.blogspot.com/2010/11/ouch.html
My money is on Berbatov
Fletch wouldnt fucking cry. Bryan Robson THE best midfielder I have seen. A proper hardman that could just play a bit as well.
Bebe?
King Eric
How are you mate? No arguments on Robbo, personally one of my all time favourite United player of all time…….. Is there an injury known to man that this guy did not suffer?
some clip of zizou boys!
//premierleagueupdates.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-you-like-football-you-will-love-this.html
@ JW; Not to sound picky, but please do not call Vidic a serbian murderer, thats an area no go,this blog is accessed by people from all over and that was a terrible period.The rest of us had troops there . just call him murderer if that helps u.
@Gotta hate tiny tears got it right, Hernandez just admitted to cring when he heard Manutd wanted to sign him.
Hargreaves,Rio definately have.
Kuzszak might be right now if the reports are true we are about to sign Gea and Lingaard. He is expected to move on,even his team pic on the Manutd website looks sad. I like him and respect him cos he did his best for us,last season he got the nod in the Carling Cup final cos he showed better temperment than foster. He is a very good keeper but dosent have the psychology to be at this level.
e.x; foster,carroll,howard.
sorry clip of zizou here’

Mr self important.
All players cry and actually I would prefer to know that they do because it shows they give a fuck, Beckham cried when he left Manchester United or England got knocked out same as Ferdinand, Ronaldo cried and fell to the ground when he was relieved that Van der Sar saved the penalty, Quieroz allegedly said Nani tried to kill himself when he couldn’t play at the world cup I know that’s extreme but it shows these players care. I cried when United lost to Barcelona in the Champions League final. Some of them show it on the pitch and other wait till they are in the dressing room or when they get home.
@keanesmagichat – great video of Zidane somewhere in the suburbs )) tnx mate.
Nani is a selfish greedy little football player.
Can’t say i am in love with him these days.
When he emerged on the scene in 2007 i liked him and thought he would grow into smth really big for us. When he was out of sorts during the last couple of seasons i kinda liked him also, expecting big things from him and kind of felt sympathy for the player. But nowadays it has become more and mpre difficult for me to stand the player. Anyway, he is our Nani .
De Gea deal should be done in Jan but he is likely to join in the summer. Transfer fee is around 20 million euros. A deal is ‘close to being completed’ barring any last minute complications.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1330816/David-Gea-brink-15m-Manchester-United-move.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
Apparently, we’re on the brink of signing De Gea, anyone think this lads up to the challenge?
Jeet -” I dont think it woud be Ando, the fucker doesnt look like he cares enough” Fucking bang on. I hate the fucker too. He’s done fuck all to prove he’s worth £17m.
@jay: Yeah that Nani incident was way over the top. Sure it was a big disappointment, but the lad has so much else to look forward to in his career and in his life. Being able to deal with setbacks and disappointment is very important and I think overprotection against it at a young age can hamper the matuting process in people.
The Phenomenal Man …. http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2010/11/phenomenal-man.html
Probably Rafa after Munich which is understandable.
before he left must have been Ben Foster!!
Looks like he is about to cry 100% of the time, if I was a striker I’d fancy myself every single time against him.
I felt like crying, every time I watched Foster in nets.
Cedars – Hello mate. Hope you are ok. The man was unbelievable. two broken legs, arm. ankle I think and broken collar bone for starters.
I’d nominate Wayne Rooney as a man who should cry, even if he doesn’t , the tears of a clown…
Good to see Bryan Robson getting the recognition he deserves. A great player and a great leader.
Bobby Charlton certainly cries. I’ve seen him do it. And no-one would suggest he’s less of a man for it.
100% sure..it’s Nani.. lol
willie – hello mate. Havent seen the goal but just look at that picture you posted of the baby throwing his arm band down. Great player but a fucking prick . I don’t wanna see that petulant baby back at OT. Yes people will call me mad but he annoys me.
corea – hello mate. Yes Nani annoys me too BUT he is a match winner for us.
This lad really is a twat:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1330793/Mario-Balotelli-refused-commit-Manchester-City-summer.html
Also why is everyone taking the De Gea rumours as gospel? What is any different to all the other tens of dozens of players we have been linked with ? This isnt a rhetorical question I actually want to know if there are quotes or owt please?
As long as they don’t cry John Terry kind of tears, I don’t mind…
Willie
fantastic Gk. Atletico No 1. Great at shot stopping, can improve a bit with his decision making. The next ‘Casillas’ for Spain. Just 20. Should be able to replace Vds with ease. Impressed fergie and Steele when they played Valencia
King Eric – Yeah mate, great player and some might like the way he acts, but I can’t have that petulance from any players.
Daily Mail has taken it from the times. James Ducker from the Times reported it.
I reckon its jonny evans
AIG – Cheers mate. I’d have prefer the lad from Ajax, but SAF knows more about these things, than I do.
I see you’ve mentioned Bryan Robson. Didn’t manage to see him play because i started following the club in 96 but what a captain he should’ve been for us. I remember Costas saying about how difficult it was for Robson to captain the side during all those 1980′s. He won premier league in his final years at the club in 93 and 94 at the end of his career and seeing the reviews of those seasons makes you emotional.
Agree with Costas about Rafael. What a terrible moment for the lad.
I think we sometimes all cry because of joy and i would certainly drop tears when Scholesy retires.
Gotta be Hargreaves and don’t blame him. Even I was close to tears after his latest setback.
Reading about all these years, finishing 13th really makes you wonder how spoiled we have become these days. Coming to the pub and watching all those ignorant so-called supporters… i hope it won’t become so much clearer because we will continue winning trophies but sometimes seeing people’s true colors is refreshing.
It was probably keano, he is passionate man after all.
I rekon Nani got the shit bet out of him and made cry by Ronnie last night after getting this goal ruled out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P2y2F0DoiI&feature=player_embedded
Portugal thumped Spain 4-0, 10 of the 11 world cup winning team played for spain.
Ha ha, Roy Keane didn’t do crying, maybe moaning lol.
http://www.talksport.co.uk/radio/drivetime/blog/2010-11-05/durhams-rant-steven-gerrard-most-consistently-brilliant-player-world
This ones for you King Eric. Not so much a rant, but a love fest.
I think Rio does. He did in the world cup
One – third of the season gone, how well have we done so far?
http://www.thehardtackle.com/index.php/manchester-united%e2%80%99s-corner-the-quarterly-report-card/
I bet the Brazil twins cried after getting their respective red cards…
Robson still the best united player i have ever seen, consistently brilliant and some might say responsible for keeping us up one season as i recall. Always said good things about the club and never slagged us off like some former players i could mention. Against barcelona that night back in `84 he was immense. Legend in the true sense of the word.
did sir alex mean players who cry after he’s had a go at them thats what i took out of his comment,crying because someone is giving you a bollocking is not the same as crying in flecthers case missing the cl final.ones a emotional reaction the other just being a pussy.
apparently United in negotiations for that Danish Keeper at this moment… maybe the De Gea thing is just a smokescreen
Tony Starks – i’ve heard we are going to sign 2 GK.
Tony Starks
We are reportedly going for both. Kuz will leave in the summer.
two days ago we were being linked with buffon again there is 5 or 6 keepers that keep coming up
Two keepers? Are we using coupons?
In case of the Lindegaard transfer, this is what a Norwegian sports journo, Vegard Fl. Vaagbo, has to say-
The lindegaard transfer is similar to solskjaer in 96. Selling club eager to help the player move to #mufc. In this case: very eager
end of the year sale….buy one keeper get the other for free……hurry while supplies last!!!
got to be Toni V. He never smile on the pitch, even after scoring a goal. So im pretty sure he cries in th dressing room.
Get well soon Valencia !
United.George – You could be right mate lol.
this guy is a prodigous man to follow for fantasy footie tips fellas.. Every week he is on the nose
http://premierleagueupdates.blogspot.com/2010/11/fantasy-football-tips-gameweek-14.html
hargreaves!
and park !
Vidic > Chuck Norris. He doesn’t fucking cry I tell ya! Rooney on the otherhand…
I am going to say Fabio as he is meant to be better than Rafael but has Evra in front of him! That would reduce me to tears every time SAF picks the team!
Of topic, but I just read in my local paper that representatives from Aalesund FK are in Manchester today to arrange a deal for Anders Lindegaard.
Aafk has confirmed that it’s true as well so it looks like we will at least get one new GK in January.
The article also claim that PIG will be sold in January, and that Lindegaard is supposed to be backup for De Gea.
As a native from Aalesund this is really exiting. I really hope that Lindegaard can step up and do a solid job for United.
Really exited for the lad as he’s told in several interviews to norwegian press that he is a United fan and that his biggest dream is to one day play for United!
Hah.. Look like a lot of people got here before me
Damn my slow typing…
We’re rich again! Wooohoooo!!
oh no the most consistent player of this universe is out for 4 weeks!
Well exactly my point. De Gea??? Turns out a deal for Lindergaard will be announced in the next 48 hours. Ole has been the mediator.
King Eric – Whats wrong about De Gea? He’s THE prospect on his position.
How real is the de Gea deal? I’ve only seen The Times report on it. Seems too good to be true, a 20-year old top class keeper, that we can get a 15-year career out for, for around 20 million euro. I’m skeptical.
Didn’t Evra pull a Jong Tae-Se at the World Cup and cry during the French national anthem??
Colbert – Old Malcolm must have found 50 million down his sofa lol.
vidic makes chuck norris cry.
Haha:) That sweet old man…
Aalesund chairman Bjarne Haagensen is currently in Manchester with Lindegaard’s agent Henrik Hoff, to complete talks with United. Deal expected to be announced in next 48 hours.
Backup to De gea? I doubt it.
i AM very happy we are signing someone atlast.I think kuschack never impressed fergie thats wht fergie isnt trusting him.Lindergaard would be a better keeper than kushchack.Now want to see whats the role of de gae.Things are now looking good in united.
willie – Ha ha ha ha . Durham is a fucking ginger prick who needs a bullet. How the FUCK is Gerrard labelled that? How about Giggs, Scholes, Lampard, etc? Best player with fuck all medals.
Take it from this news, that VDS is retiring next season? Not sure on De Gea, I thought the lad at Ajax would’ve been the best option, long term.
Zelh – What do you mean? The rumour seems to be more geared towards Lindergaard than De Gea. Steele has watched plenty of him. Cannot see us buying a spaniard.
King Eric – Ever since Durham had that run in with Carra, he’s hardly said a bad word about Liverpool, arse licking cunt.
The Shankhill Skinhead – Spot on pal. 1984. When Robbo was getting carried above fans heads.
King Eric – I thought you wanna say that De Gea isn’t good enoug. I don’t think we’ll sign De Gea, but let’s wait and see, what SAF is doing. The Lindegaard transfer is almost done.
willie – Exactly mate. I despise the prick. Wind up merchant of the highest order.
Zelh – No mate, wasn’t meaning that.
Lindergaard WILL NOT be back up for De Gea. He is a top keeper in his own right. I may of course be wrong.
He’s good, but dunno if he’s good enough for Manchester United.
Don’t want the same again after Schmeichel left and we won’t find the saviour in Denmark everytime.
I haven’t seen Lindergaard, so I can’t really comment on him. I’d also be surprised if we signed 2 keepers, but with SAF, you never know. Or to quote Ronaldo, only god knows.
willierednut – I saw him once against Portugal. I was really surprised by his performance, although he was condecing 3 goals. Imo he’s better than Kus but far far away from being a top class goalkeeper.
Why the fuck are we going for Lindegaard? He is very average.
Aig – At least we’ll need two new gk’s. I think Kus will leave, because he won’t be No. 1
@king eric
I also think the same.Lindergaard will not be a back up keeper.I wont mind him being our number 1.But we should be patient with lindergaard.He may not produce a magical performance immediately but will take some tome so thats why i would like him to join this january so that he can play some games then be our number 1 from next season onwards.Cant see both de gae and lindergaard coming.
Lindegaard is good at shot stopping, average at coming for crosses and poor at decision making. Saw him a few times. Far from impressive and certainly not the man to replace VDS
@willierednut and Zelh:
As I am from Aalesund I have watched him quite a bit and I can say that Lindegard is good enough if you look at ability alone.
The thing I’m unsure about Lindegaard is if he’s mentally ready to make the step up.
Can he handle beeing idle for 90% and still be on his toes when the opponent gets that one chance that can turn a win into a draw?
We all know that Foster for instance didn’t have the mental abillity to do that. I hope that Lindegaard is not the same.
I think there will be another gk in summer.
Neuer for example has one year left in summer.
Stekeelenburg could also be a realistic target.
Then they have to fight it out.
AIG – A tad harsh, lets wait and see if he actually signs first.
@AIG… when did you become a goalkeeping scout mate?
Links to the Dane would put a lie to Fergies statements that they would do nothing in the transfer window. But Anders seems like he would be an excellent backup for the last year/ of the VDSaar era. 6’4″ and about 28years. He will be the next Danish #1 and he seems a very solid prospect. Still very young for a keeper, no real international experience to speak of, but we will see.
Bet any link to deGae or another top keeper will wait until summer. But deGae only plays in the Europa league, so may not be cup tied for us as some have proposed. Still could happen in the summer. As I have said before, you don’t expect Spains #2 goalie to be playing outside spain, that lot is very nationalistic and have the $ to back it up. Also, the player himself has never bigged up United and the links with Barca seem more likely to me. I feel he will be pining for home before he is 26. Still a huge talent and just shy of 6’4″ himself. If he comes for on 15M, that would be some business. Great if he comes, but . . . more questions than answers if he does.
Tony Starks
got info from a Norweigean friend who sees him week in week out.
NorwegianDevil – Cheers pal. Like I said, don’t know much about the lad, but I’m sure he must have something about him, for United to be interested.
NorwegianDevil – That what I’m concerned about. I was really impressed by his performance against Portugal, but he wasn’t idle for a long period of time.
Besides the metality problem, right now he won’t be idle for 90% of a game
@AIG alex is god:
I think your opinion of Lindegaard is very harsh. imo he’s that best GK in the norwegian league by far, and as I am from Aalesund myself I’ve seen him play a lot and as I’m a GK myself I think that I have an advantage when it comes to judging other GK’s as well.
I would say that he dosen’t really have a weak spot, he’s good at everything he does, but he is a great shot stopper. He’s not like Given for instance that will stay on his line almost no matter what. And as one that has watched a lot of Aalesunds games over the last 4-5 years I can’t really remember him making many errors while collecting crosses/corners.
Is I said earlier. I’ve no doubt that his abillities are good enough, but I do have my concerns whether he is mentally tough enough to succed with us. Mostly because he’s never been in that position before and therefor has never proven his mental abillity.
Aig – But others in the same region said he has all the attributes and a good signing, and United have had him watched quite a bit, so let’s wait and see – besides he might only be a no.2 or a no. 1.5 if the De Gea stories turn out to be true
@Aig
Being good at shot stopping is what matters, decision making and coming for crosses can be remedied by proper coaching quite easily. Also, those traits come with experience.
Sanj – Tell that to Ben Foster
@Norwegiandevil
since it appears that we are almost certain to sign him,i hope your assesment is right and he turns out to be a good signing.
@sanj
i am afraid i would rather have a complete Package. That reminds me of Foster
Foster wasn’t a bad keeper, he just couldn’t handle the expectation at United.
Foster had the ability, but he seemingly lacked the mental toughness required to be successful at United.
haha, Foster is just a bungler, you’re right… Hopefully we don’t get Foster 2.0.
Shankhill Skinhead & King Eric
I was at the match v Barca that night that Robbo destroyed them. Barca had Maradona in their team and we were trailing 2 – 0 from the first leg (Cup Winners Cup). Robbo netted twice with Stapleton getting the other… One of the best nights of my life, the atmosphere was beyond description…
Cheers
Well it appears some know better than Eric Steele.
Cedars – You lucky lucky man. People say THAT night was THE best atmosphere ever seen and heard at OT!
Hey up there Sanj. How is it going pal? Long time no speak.
Does Lindegaard cry?
This goalkeeper situation ; as i commented before , the rebuilding of our goalkeeping dept is now in stage 3.
stage 1: hiring Eric Steele the goalkeeping guru.He had the challenge to quickly adjust to this challenging role,improve itthe dept and prepare for the VDS retirement.
stage 2: The reorganization done and dusted. foster,tom heaton ,ron zeiler have moved on.we now have VDS,Kuszak as senior keepers, with Amos,Connor,Johnston,Coll,Liam as youth keepers.
stage 3: We will soon know as VDS likes to make his decisions around Christmas/New Year,one more year or retire this season.Kuzsak has said few times he wont be number 2,he wants number 1 and wil move,January or maybe summer. So that means we need 2 senior keepers and looks like we found out at least 1 is Anders.Also if Fergie gets his wish for VDS to continue with us as coach.
Interesting times. By the way,Gea fits everything Fergie has said he is looking for in the youth intense times we are in. Young,affordable,exceptional to world class,and will learn the Manutd way .20years young as Javier and few others, brilliant.
@Ash
Hernandez is a good shout, definitely a crier!
@Dave Malaysia
I don’t disagree with stages 1 and 2 but do you think De Gea is ‘affordable’? Personally I think he’ll cost a lot more than we will be willing to spend on a potential number 2.
I would be happy to have an outright number one, say Lindegaard, and have Ben Amos as his deputy.
I know 110% that it is Nani.Poor baby
@bchilds ; If we want him ,we will get him ,it will less than people think,he has been on record of not moving to wigan ,cos he wants to come to us. If Fergie decides its this kid,then it will happen,just not sure about being cup tied in europe in january,summer perhaps.
stage 1 and 2 has happened if u look closely at how things shaped up with eric.
Now we will see the final shape of the team for years to come,if the signings work.
sorry to go off topic here guys but according to the danish club Aalesunds website, we have signed their goalkeeper lindegaard.
I haven’t read through the posts but after the CL final Rio Giggsy were in tears
It meant a lot especially as I believe that Rio captained this team the way it should be captained – much like Vidic now.
I think it’s both sad and frustrating that we never turned up against Barcelona the year after – had we had fought that that final and lost it would have been a very proud thing nevertheless
But to have lost like that when a year before we beat them was hard to take – and what makes it harder is that the first 10 minutes of that final we should have been out of reach of them anyway.
