Man Utd News 24/7
tevez mate shut up
we know it could be your last game
we knew that 2 years ago
just get your f@ckin mind on the game
on a side note Scott i love these reads of the day
but from here on out im not reading one more thing the times write
not that i think every bit of news around united is rosie but they just drag out a shit load of crap out of nothin
the guardian! have they mnothing else to report on, were talking about liverpool and how it seems like 1994 again but it is july 2008 again?
Seems the guardian want to be the first to start up the juggling act that will sell the tabloids while the footie is finished…
any bets going that its ronaldo’s picture on every paper front and back with the same “im going to madrid” every day till august
The reporter had every right to ask Fergie about Hull?Seriously,who appoints these idiots?It was a press conference for the Ch.League final!Not for the Hull-United game.
Something is fishy about the Tevez to Liverpool reports.When you hear that they will spend 15 million on Glen Johnson,you have to wonder how much do they have left for Tevez.It’s sad to realise,but i think that in the end,Carlos’ only option will be the Wastelands.
morning costas
everton knock a “secondstring” manchester united team out of the fa cup on penos
that team went 90 + 30 mins and were level peggin due to the fact united had a stonewall peno turned down, but dont dare play them against Hull, the sheer disrespect.
in my view rooney is the best all round player in the world
but in the league cup that manchester united won he njever even kicked a ball.
but how dare you play that team against Hull
quite startling the revelation regarding Barca and their connection to the Uzbeki dictatorial regime. There is an adjoining link in the article posted by Scott, which sheds more light on the actual situation, quite pitiful, and makes me take a totally different look at Barca. After reading this, i seriously hope we knock the stuffings out of those bastards!

Morning GHTT.I have full faith in our second string to give Hull a run for their money.And you know,that is a double edged sword.Who’s to say that if we played our best players that we would have beat Hull?They would have played with one eye on the final and they might have taken Hull lightly.Now we will play 11 hungry players.So we might be doing the North East teams a favor!
I agree with Anon, I was very shocked by the connections between Barcelona and the Uzbeki regime. I had never seen anything about that before, and it does indeed put Barca in a very different light. I wonder what Eric Cantona thinks about this. He used to live in Barcelona, and he’s generally pretty savvy politically (his grandfather being a refugee from the Spanish Civil War etc). It’s another reason not to be swayed by Cruyff’s attack on United. His factual errors about United are not the only issue. His desire to push football back into a narrowly nationalist mould is very retrogressive. Club football is the future, not nation-state patriotism. Of course grass roots and community involvement is important and needs to be protected, but what could be more inspiring in human terms than the great multi-national teams now being assembled everywhere,especially, but not exclusively at Old Trafford. Who would have thought you’d get endless chanting of ‘Argentina, Argentina!’ so soon after the Falklands war, for Heinze and now Tevez. What could be more heart-warming that seeing the joy on the faces of Kiko Macheda and family after his stunning winner against Villa. It should not be forgotten that Italians were our enemies within living memory. One could go on and on, about the benefits in human understanding having Africans or Koreans in European teams, far more worthwhile than the insistence on the primacy of nation states, especially as some are very recent and often very artificial creations. The world-wide appeal of multi-national teams like United is plain to see wherever you go. Wearing a United t-shirt or sporting a badge breaks the ice almost anywhere on earth, from the slums of Istanbul to the souks of Cairo.
United are adamant he is not for sale but if Florentino Perez wins the Madrid presidential elections he is likely to make signing the world player of the year his number one priority.
However, Ronaldo claims Perez’s efforts would be futile.
“At the moment I’m only thinking about the (Champions League) final independently of what will happen to me or my team-mates next season,” he told Atena 3.
“I’m sure Perez would create an incredible team at Madrid but at the moment I’m at United and I don’t care about what happens there.
“I only care about what will happen next season at Manchester United.”
