   People who want to get in a first post are nothing but attention seekers.

   On topic, Sir Alex disagrees with Roberts, and suddenly the news headlines are like Sir Alex slaughtering him. These writers are pathetic. So I reckon if their wifes disagree with something they feel the same way?

   Everyone killing Rooney over his performance against Poland. First, Poland are no pushovers, secondly, what can Rooney do without the ball? Thirdly, I rate Ronaldo & Messi as from another planet, but even they can’t do anything if surrounded by sub standard players, just take a look at their international achievements

   So will be Saurez be wearing these Kick racism out T-shirts? The equivalent of Abu Hamza wearing BNP T-shirts.

   Stoke is must win. They’ll try to frustrate us so I hope we batter them and send out a message to other teams with the same game plan – 11 men behind the ball won’t save you.

   As for RVP he can do what he wants. Even if he was “in attendance” whose to say he fucked anybody anyway? All venues attended by pro footballers are chock full of escorts anyway so I doubt every player is at it every time they’re in VIP.

   Also, Jason Roberts has a point – Kick it Out is toothless and led by a soft hand. If he doesn’t wanna wear the t-shirt as a black player who the fuck is gonna make him? Ferguson is entitled to his views but so is Roberts. Storm in a tea cup really. Obviously I understand Fergie’s point about solidarity, but when it adds legitimacy to a organisation that falsely claims to protect players from racism then Roberts is well within his rights to fuck it off. How many times has he been called a “black cunt” on the pitch since Kick It Out was founded?

   To be honest, apart from youth players do you ever see the youth associating or even interacting with Kick It Out? Course not, but you DO see the youth passionately supporting Unite Against Fascism and taking to the streets to protest corporate greed and government corruption.

   Lets face it, if Kick It Out can’t become relevant after all the nationwide riots and protests, and all the exposed racism in football, then you’ve got to admit they’ve fucking failed miserably in whatever they set out to do. If you ask me they need voices like Jason Roberts inside the organisation giving it teeth, not outside pointing out glaring failures to objective observers.

   ‘Selfish Gerrard cares only about himself not Liverpool,’ blasts Diouf
   The Senegalese forward, who now plays for Leeds, thinks the current England and Reds captain was jealous of him during his time at Anfield and claims he does not care if they win
   By Dale Jones

   Hadji Diouf – Leeds United
   El Hadji Diouf has branded Steven Gerrard “selfish” and claims the Reds’ captain was jealous of him when he played for Liverpool.

   In an interview with French newspaper L’Equipe, the 31-year-old former Liverpool forward has claimed that the Reds’ skipper does not care about the club’s results, as long as he puts in a good individual performance.

   Diouf spent three years on Merseyside before moving to Bolton Wanderers in 2005 after a loan spell at the Reebok.

   The former Senegal international also mentioned Jamie Carragher in a similar light, but did not divulge any information about the long-serving defender.

   “Gerrard was jealous of me back then as I had the world at my feet,” Diouf said.

   “There’s no one more selfish, he doesn’t care about anyone else. Gerrard rather Liverpool lost and he scored.

   “The old Liverpool guys can’t stand him. I won’t even start with Carragher.”

   I know diouf isn’t a saint but he’s bang on about steven GBH on this one. I don’t think anyone is suprised with his “it’s all about me” mentality.

   United host Stoke at Old Trafford Tomorrow:

   Sir Alex observed: “The jolly green giants are coming to play against us tomorrow”.
   Me: “What jolly?”

   Most negative team in EPL today. They can just toddle off to neverland for all I am concerned. Em, after handing us 3 points that is!

   Great to have Young back. Hope Smalling isn’t to far off.

    http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/396224/20121019/wayne-rooney-10-years-manchester-united-everton.htm

    Really enjoy reading all these stupid articles. Yet another one claiming has failed as a footballer, hasn’t fufilled his potential, has lost all the attributes that make him a great player and posing questions about him being on the wane. Why? I heat you all ask, well.. It’s plain and simple, it’s because he hasn’t lived up to the “saviour of english football” tag. Anyone would think the game is all about one man. England as a team have never played as a unit, they don’t play the right players in the right system. They play wrong players with high reputations in the wrong system. Paul scholes, a brilliant orhestrator of the midfield was shafted to the wing. Rooney has suffered the same fate, he’a been surrounded by ineffective team mates (excluding united players) and governed by mostly tactically inept managers. He’s not really been given the freedom and platform to express, same problems will probably affect welbeck, cleverley and other united players. Pure shambles of a national team with idiotic “experts” piling on unrealistic expectation and add that to sheep like fans with a pea for a brain who simply can’t make their minds on players or games without the aid of stan collymore and mark “saggy man-tits” saggers, with a little jason CUNT-dy and you work out a slight fraction as to why the english national team will continue to struggle.

    Rooney has been brilliant for united, he’s had moments of highs and lows on the pitch and off it but he has more often than not stepped up for united. He’s admired all across the continents, they acknowledge his abilities yet on english shores, he’s ridiculed and lambasted, he’s accused of unfufilled potential, yet when we look throughout his career so far, he’s achieved,as much as any player can. He’s 4th on united’s all time scorers list, he’s got 32 goals for his country. One thing i can only say has affected wayne is probably the selfless unselfish attitude on the pitch. He’s always put the team first ahead of personal glory and that is less recognised in football but after saying all that, although expensive, rooney still has been one of the best signings we’ve made, he’s has taken to scampering around old-trafford and has made the theatre of dreams his own, he’s produced brilliance constantly and always gets fans on the edge of their seats. Rooney is a premier league legend, his record and performances over the last 8years back that up. He’s also excelled in european football. You’ll always get fools that endlessly lambast him but for manchester united, wayne rooney has carved his name into the history of the club. Maybe he won’t get a statue or a stand renamed after him but in memories of fans, he’ll be there. Wayne rooney is still 26, we can only hope more is to come but to accuse him of unfufilled potential, well some need their heads checked. The question i ask these fools is, do you mean unrealistic, delusional unfufilled expectations?.

    Denton Davey says:

    Lots more “rumours” that Nani is heading to Juventus and that the money will be used to purchase a left-footed, Colombian winger, James Rodriguez, from Porto.

    Smoke = Fire ?

    The way I see this – and it’s just my propensity to conspiracy theorizing – the bust-up with Nani/Petrucci is one possible component of the problem; the salary demands/stalling on negotiations would be another component; and Rodriguez’s left-footedness and youth would be a third component. BUT I do wonder if there’s another factor – SAF’s decision to play the game with a narrower “formation” and Nani’s reluctance to play one-touch passing.

    IF those inchoate theorizings have any substance then my own two-cents’ worth would be that I’d want to work out a deal with Juventus so that they can have Nani if UTD get Arturo Vidal back – a box-to-box midfielder with the toughness/skill set that the midfield needs.

    Of course, this post is bullshit – it’s now 22 hours until Saturday’s kick-off and we all need some light entertainment.

    i was clearly trying to make light of the whole ‘first’ comment trend, not that its really that big of a deal. i put it to you “Marq”, that it is you who is the attention seeker by writing things only intended to increase your backing from fellow bloggers. if only there was a like button aye?

    Good piece on Josh King (the fastest player on FIFA13 with a speed of 98), would be good to see him or Will Keane get a run out, i cant see Macheda getting many more chances now.
    Would also be good to see Fletch back at home for a full 90.
    4-1 tomorrow i think.

    Fullard @ 18:57: “Would also be good to see Fletch back at home for a full 90.”

    With four matches in the next two weeks, I reckon that SAF is going to use DarrenFletcherinho in two of them – probably the mid-week CL v. Braga and then the Cup games against TheRentBoyz.

    @sushi stoke play physical football..wil it be interesting if all teams play identical or so called tiki taka beautiful brand of football..

    Sushi says:

    Nah fuck that “tiki taka” which in my
    Opinion sounds really gay. I’m not saying the physical aspect is bad necessarily although there is a difference between physical and reckless which tends to be alot of stoked challenges. I just find them a really boring and incredibly talent-less team. They just put 11 behind the ball, 0 ambition with respect To moving up the EPL ladder.

    well i’ve been racking my brains for a few days and i’ve come to the conclusion that i must have used that word because i’m either hungry or i dont know how to spell.
