RoM Reads

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 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.

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!

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.
