Nemanja Vidic was probably lucky to stay on the pitch after bitch slapping Hugo Rodallega in our 5-0 victory over Wigan at the start of the season. Rodaellega feigned injury until it was apparent the ref hasn’t seen it, so then he sprinted over to confront Vidic. The ref tried to get in the way, then it was Rodallega who was lucky to stay on the pitch, after pushing the ref out of the way.
The Wigan striker, who is currently in the top ten strikers this season, admits his reaction wasn’t one of his best moments.
“It was one of those moments where the red mist takes over,” said Rodallega. “But I realise that’s not the way to go about things, and I know you can’t solve issues like that. The best way to get the better of someone is to go past him and score goals, and beat him in football terms. I always look forward to playing against big sides like United, but not with a view to renewing hostilities with Vidic. Vidic is a top defender, one of the best in the world. And what happened is all in the past as far as I’m concerned. It’s more that you like to line-up against top-quality defenders, and he is one of those. I respect him a lot – and I just want to score against him.”

I hope the Vidic money goes towards new signings rather than servicing the debt.
I think Rodallega could be a really good sneeky signing for one of the top players and if we could pick him up for about £8m i wouldnt mind coz i know he is a bit of a muppet, but he certainly knows where the onion bag is… and thats in a really poor Wigan team, so i wouldnt mind seeing him at OT…
I know a lot of you will think thats a really bizarre comments, but we obviously aint got the CR7 funds at our disposal, and think we could do a lot worse… as we are defo lacking up front…. we its the wings and attacking midfield, but you know what i mean hahaha..
Anyway… long time no chat, hope you all had a good xmas.
Dont leave Vidic, leave your wife instead.
@FailsworthDevil: Rodallega has not developed much in this year, IMO. For £8m I’d rather take Birmingham’s Chucho mate. This guy always looks dangerous on the ball. He’s really good physically and technically
PMSL! Well said, Rick.
FFS you lot. Rodallega and “Chuco” are not United quality!
musvn i know what ya saying mate, but think he would slow us down, where as Rodellega is good on the turn and faster… and think thats what were lacking, as Berba is slowing us down a bit mate…
I dont know where to start at the minute, but im very suprised we are still 2nd and a couple of points off Chelsea…
Been a weird season so far, just think its time to splash some cash, and get sommat attacking in, … saying that i would like to see some of the youth who aint had a chance yet… espec Pogba… and Ekrem… and even Norwood… we have some quality kids coming through, so id give them a crack… but still wanna see us buy someone exciting, coz we seem to be dragging ourselves through the mud at the mo.
Vidic isnt leaving, its that fucking Marca bullshit paper again starting their usual bollocks to unsettle players. We should start saying how we are buying their players even tho we arent just to piss them off lol fucking pricks!! Madrid will be in shit loads of debt again in a few months and winning fuck all as usual!!
I think we should bring Ralf Milne back…
Gee, I’m sure you thought the same when they were printing the same shite about Ronaldo.
Everybody has a price for the Glazer boys. Vidic is next, then it will no doubt be Evra. Meanwhile, we’ll be picking up “bargains” like Owen and Obertan while the fans are dreaming about Silva and Benzema.
Failsworth, you’re back!
I remember the incident with Rodalega and my view of it wasn’t the same. I remember Vidic having a whinge and clowting Rodalega one, which in itself was no knock out punch but was designed to humiliate Rodalega and put him in his place. Rodalega threw a wobbler AFTER the ref got on to the seen and then Rodalega bullied the man who wouldn’t hit back (the ref), the only risk was a sending off which would of saved him from further tackling by Vidic. Rodalega kept 10 paces away for the rest of the match and Vidic rightly showed him he was a loud mouthed pansy. Reminiscient of the Zamarano and Jap Stam incident, where a 8 stone weekling tried to walk through a wall.
You saw red Rodalega, in the words of Rafa FACT you did see red, scoring and scoring and scoring and scoring and scoring without reply.
Prediction for tonight 2-0. Goals from Obertan and Owen
@FailsworthDevil: fair enough mate. maybe I was a little harsh with Rodallega. I was actually impressed with him at the beginning of the season, but not anymore. I just feel that Chucho will be a better signing if there is.
..honestly,y cant we unsettle Real Madrids players just lyk they do 2 ours?..thats the only way 2 make them stop it!
Hi Boogey mate… hows tricks… good Chrimbo?
2-0 tonight… Valencia & Scholes to score.
Chucho? Oh come off it.
Failsworth – Alright mate, how are you? Hope you had a good xmas. Where have you been lately?
Failsworth: “I think Rodallega could be a really good sneeky signing for one of the top players”
I agree. Last night was no measure of this ability – he was starved for the ball, covered by two men, and isolated up-front. He has three qualities that UTD lack up-front – he’s very fast, two-footed, and good in the air. And, like LittleMikey, he likes to play off the shoulder of the last defender. PLUS he’s been in Lancashire long enough that he won’t be “home sick” or complain too much about the weather since he’ll know what he getting.
