Man Utd News 24/7
Great read by the daily mail , really showin why jurnos get paid so well. A quick break down of points, oberton played a match and rooneys injuried but the mail dragged that one sentance into an artical
Hope Obertan can make it to the Barnsley game.
Future looks bright !
Great article by Henry Winter in the Times or Telegraph this morning. Like the man actually , he is really siding for Fergie and has said all the band wagon jumping smacks of Hypocrisy and jealousy. Bang on.
bolton are trying to kid themselves.they don’t have much threat in their squad.the main threat will come from K.Davies.
hopeful over obertan,looked excellent at times when interchanging with fabio. i think he’ll start on the bench this weekend.he is a henry lookalike:-).
about the guardian they have a point. it’s no wonder why berba once hailed wazza as the premier league’s finest talent. he is england’s best player and that’s a fact!
Lets give bolton a hammering on saturday, berba bagging a hatrick.
love the sarcasm on red rants especially the one on dennis wise:-).fergie did’nt mean the apology and he had to as the ABU media are putting pressure on the FA. jeff winter is a cunt who is bitter at newcastle’s relegation. it should’nt give him the right to slate fergie. newcastle were piss poor last season and were supposed to actually go down in the 07-08 season.
hope fabio starts on the weekend at rb, he looks great.although john o’shea is a fantastic he needs to attack more. i’d also like to see brown have to say he has a great tackle in him. it’s a bit too soon for rafa though. o’shea had a brilliant game for ireland against italy at croke park!:-)
The Daily Mail article doesn’t tell you anything about how he played =/
Is this Ravel Morrison something special then? The Unnamed English lad that the Telegraph article was referring to?
That was a great read about SAF by the way. He does loads that no one ever gets to hear about. Legend.
rumours about maicon:
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5625109,00.html
great read in the telegraph
Did anyone catch the U-20 World Cup quarterfinal between Brazil and Germany?I saw just a bit of it,but Maicon(younger one,still a fullback) played pretty decently during that bit,scored a couple of goals,1 an 88th minute equaliser,the 2nd an ET goal which won the match.
Back on track here,that Douglas Costa is really not that great.He was pretty selfish and kept screaming at his mates for not doing something.
Their no.7 was pretty good though,but I forgot his name.
Which young English midfielder in the academy is Winter talking about in the Telegraph article?
Hargo’s curly hair — I watched the Bolton – Spurs match the other day, and let me tell you that anyone here that thinks we are going to walk this match is in for a rude awakening. I was very impressed by how hard they worked off the ball, they were very quick in closing down spurs and pressuring them into mistakes. I’m not sure if it was just the match of his life, but Ricardo Gardner was immense in the center mid, and their asian right winger, dont know his name, but he was very good as well. We will have to match their determination and play a hell of a lot better than the sunderland game if we want to get some points…
Jim
i think henry winter could be talking about tom cleverley or matty james.
Drew Vader
point taken mate. but i know it will be difficult but i think that we’ll have too much quality for them. i think that they play similarly to Stoke which is route one football. but that is i think but i may be wrong mate. i think we should’nt take them for granted either way.
sorry, off topic but is robinho really going to barcelona in jan?
HARGREAVES’ CURLY HAIR
I bet many thought sunderland would have not much threat about them and look what happened there, bolton do not have much to fear plus is there much for bolton to fear when they see the team sheet I dnt think they do.
smithy99
Ravel Morrison played fantastic last year in the youth cup vs. Chelsea. I’ve seen him a few times play for the academy – there is no doubt he has the talent, we will see in the next few years what happens – it’s all in the head from this level onwards..
manutdchampions2008
i think they should mate.they can expect a backlash.regarding the sunderland game we were shaky at the back with ben”butterfingers”foster being the culprit. i’m confident we’ll be more stable when vds comes back hopefully on the weekend. it’s not that i think that foster is not good enough for us it’s just that he is lacking confidence as he’s not used to playing with the back four as usual as vds. hope ben does’nt become like “calamity”james. he is a great keeper and deserves a shot to start for ingurlund sometime in the near future.
sorry off topic
the head of the bitters sparky reckons his squad already look like champions although they have’nt won anything.they’re showing the whole world how deluded they are.guys the ABU media never get tired of bashing united it’s fergie now rio saying that he’s calamitious and that he should be lucky he regained his place and his blunder against Ukraine. like jamie redknapp said this morning “form is temporary but class is permanent.”
manunitedchampions2008 – I see you are back to your old self. How can Bolton not fear the Reigning Premier league Champions? Not scared of Rooney or Berba? Or Giggsy? What is your problem man? One thing I did notice on previous posts is your use of the word “douche”. Are you American?
Regarding Bolton it certainly will not be easy but like someone said we have too much quality. Normally very tight games but we tend to edge it. I am expecting a great performance all round as Fergie will have given them a right fucking after the Sunderland game. No time for complacency on Saturday.
HARGREAVES CURLY HAIR – I would imagine Winter was talking about Morrison as he has almost strayed off the path at times. great talent if not a tad lightweight but that will come in time. Regarding the bitters you have to laugh. Who do they think they are? You could almost be forgiven for thinking they have won summat in the last 34 years! I posted on another topic on here last night comments by their fans on the MEN site. Hilarious!
Finally I see the FSW has been let off by the FA for his outburst the other week.
King Eric- Don’t judge all us Americans because of the slagger… some of us have faith in our team, ha!
what is a douche???
i thought it was german for shower,
berbatov = class in bulgarian
http://blog.oregonlive.com/knitting/2008/10/moonbear.jpg
looks like the manchester united kit.Lol
im going mental without real football…
so sad that we are back in the days we used to fear the likes of bolton,no disrespect though
neil g
i have that feeling when united don’t play.can’t wait for the weekend:-)! guys since rooney pulled out of the ingerlund squad for the Belarus game do you think he’ll be fit in time for the weekend, i hope so.
@hargreavescurlyhair he can’t be talking about matty James as ‘wayward’ cos u could never wish to meet a more down to earth humble young man! Although I defiantly agree that he could go onto boss the midfield for united and England for a long part of his career!
@hargos curly hair.rooney is not like stevie me to fake an injury so he may miss the game.i actually want to see berba rested for bolton with the trip to russia 4 days later.rooney looks certain to miss the moscow game so we should gamble on him on sat and give him a weeks break before the dippers.owen should start on saturday.
It’s a very good thing if Bolton really think they don’t have anything to worry about next weekend…
We will get ourselves together after a poor performance against Sunderland, we always do.
aig – Hi mate. I can understand what you mean about resting Berba but I would love to see him play and get on score sheet again. Get his confidence sky high. Rooney MUST start he always does well against Bolton.
Gudjohnsen – Alright mate. Spot on but surely Bolton themselves won’t be complacent. Only fools would underestimate United before coming to Old Trafford after the Red’s had a poor last display and have been under scrutiny in the media ever since. We will be up for this game without a doubt.
fc united just won 1-0 at staleybridge in th FA cup, if they beat northwich next they could get leeds, thats worth going to
we all hate leeds scum
Theres Only One United.
MUFC – In that Order – Accept No imitations.
so you wouldn’t like to go to leeds away??
@Tony Starks…..Thanks for the info on Ravel Morrison mate.
King Eric
i also agree that berba needs to start banging them in regardless of the opposition.when on song he is unstoppable.
@aig alex is god
if you were to rest berba for the moscow game who would partner up with mickey owen if wayne is out injured? bolton should brace themselves for a backlash hope we batter them to go moscow. a clean sheet would be a cherry on top.
King Eric
rooneys injured and giggs is doing great but he can be contained, berbatov also can be stopped and he is nothing special bar some flicks he is not a devestating player like you see with ronaldo messi torres. douche is used a lot on south park has a way for calling ppl the biggest idiot going and is quiet useless. if I was a bolton fan I would not be scared with uniteds best forward gone and seeing the likes of nani valencia carrick anderson berbatov who do not put the fear of god into opponents bolton could get something.
manutdchampions2008
mate why are you being so negative about our team.do you think that berba is not world class? i think he is and when on song he is one of the world’s most intelligent and creative players and very difficult to stop. sir ryan giggs is world class even at his age mate. why don’t you for once get behind the team. it’s still early days in the league and the very best is yet to come from berba:-). valencia needs to find his feet at united which he will and anderson is one for the future. ONE United!!!
@hargreaves’ curly hair.
i agree with you mate. i think berba is a world class player. very good in handling the ball and is very creative. valencia is very speedy and i know that only time will tell when he will be at his best. anderson, i gotta say, is one of the most highly rated player. very very sensational indeed.
but what caught my attention was to see Obertan in action. he was stunning. very tall and henry look-alike. speedy fast and very skillful on the ball. the future look bright for that lad and i cant wait to see him get involved with the first team.
ONE UNITED!
HARGREAVES’ CURLY HAIR – Morning mate. I wouldn’t bother with manutdslagger, he does nothing but pull the lads apart. Fuck him. I an not going to respond anymore to him.
Realmadridchampions2008 is a 12 year old who doesn’t know shit about football , thinks the real Madrid way is the right way knows nothing about the Matt busby way and only watches united because when he wa 10 all the cool kids were talkin about united going for 5 trophy so he jumped on the bandwaggon . Couldn’t tell ya why I love cantina couldn’t tell ya why I always look on the whiteside of live couldn’t tell y why mark robins is a legend couldn’t tell ya who put the ball on greenhoffs chest and why in context of what united did in 99 lookin back itakes what greenhoffs did all the sweeter , he can tell ya it felt good when Terry slip on his arse he’ll yell ya Ronaldo is the greatest footballer ever, full stop, he’ll tell ya giggs is good but can’t get to grips why he shoul be knighted, he’s a dipstick he doesn’t know shit but atleast he has the new home jersey so all the cool kids will think he knows a jot. He may even have berbatov on the back because that good lookin boy on his clas that all the girls thinks looks like Justin timberlake loves berba. I fuckin love been a football fan because the banter in a pub is unreal. Been a football fan is all about opinion. But once the guy your talkin to can form his own opinion. Manunitedchampions2009(keep up ya gimp) hasn’t got an opinion he hasn’t got a clue so he hides it by talkin crap just to get replys. This reply is for king Eric and anyone else who talks to this fake, why does he love 2008 united because he loved 2006 Chelsea
gotta hate – Morning pal, was just about to ask where you were. Then you come up with a belter of a post above. Absolutely spot on mate!
King Eric,
I saw Henry Winter’s comments on the Sunday Supplement show on Sky, and he got absolutely slated for defending Sir Alex.
He does appear to be one of the few with his eyes wide open to what is going on.
The FA can’t see that this is a Leeds fan, clearly with a deep rooted hatred for Sir Alex, and United.
He’s recently come out and said he shouldn’t be referred to as ‘Sir’.
In fairness to Gary Megson, he’s come out with some good points, in saying that it’s only because of Sir Alex this is snowballing.
PS, Just heard as well, the fat spanish cunt has got off with just a warning for suggesting the referee in the scouse match was BLIND.
I think ppl are reading to much into the performance against sunderland, it was an of day. If wazza’s not fit im confident berba and owen can get the goals for us. ps watched looking for eric brillant film
didnt know brown was 30 yesterday, was the 13th yesterday werent it? i say use brown for about 2 more years then let da laet and rafael fight it out
GHTT, King Eric, et al-
manutdslagger2008/micheal/realmadridchampions2006 is so predictable. he was singing berbatov’s praises when berba was playing well (to be fair to berba i must say he is STILL playing well) and now is back with his negativity due to the sunderland result. he is too predictable, praises the team when things are going well, slags them when things are not. it is sad really. looking forward to the lads proving you wrong as usual. he’ll probably miss it because he’ll be watching la liga- i’m sure he’ll read the match report though.
Sort of off topic, but there’s been a lot of talk about England being a one man team, with success hinging entirely upon Wayne Rooney. Anybody else find this a little worrying? I mean sure it’s true, but I wish people would keep quiet about it. I still remember the hatchet job done on Beckham and once before on Rooney to take them out of international matches. Can’t the press do the decent thing and big up somebody expendable?
theboogeyman & sanj etc – Sorry off topic but bored as fuck. Another post from that idiot off the MEN site regarding Ireland. Are they really this daft and deluded? :-
You know like the rest of us. That Scholes career has diminshed over the last 3 years and he will shortly hang up his boots. He has had a decent career but Superman has a decade ahead of him. In fact and I keep asking you Rags who is going to replace.
Ferguson, Van Der Sar, Foster, Scholes, Neville, Giggs, Nani, Anderson, O’Shea, Ferdinand, Brown (very mediocre but Capello can’t see it).
You have major problems and you know it where are you going to get the cash from as United have such an awesome debt. Apart from Rooney and to a degree Berbatov you have no players who excite the fans. City have a bagful, full of seering, pace, strength, in your face, no no nonsense crowd pleasers. World Class entertainers. We are Manchester City!

sanj Gotta hate tiny tears
Oh shut up seriously give me a reply. Get a reality check berbatov anderson valencia nani carrick are average who are in fergies flops, giggs is doing well but still he is close to the end, scholes is past it now. And it is has simple has that get over yourselves because you lot can’t handle the truth man utd are on a decline and the sad reality is Madrid and Barcelona are on the up, united will be out of Europe in the quarter finals. you know what sanj never once called berbatov great stop with your crap I bet you are a gooner yourself you little shit berbatov is crap and how many would buy him very phew, I do not care much for this season when the team is awful at best. Has for the other twat got any city tears yea that’s your name isn’t it we all know you’re a city fan you are another idiot who I can’t stand never have go back to that city forum. I think real Madrid are a far bigger club than united and unlike united they think big and if they got the money why not spend it and that’s a fact you lot are just jealous of that club who madrid will knock united out when they meet and that’s a fact. you lot make me laugh a city fan comes on and you lot act like a bunch of girls it made me laugh when he got to you lot now since you lot act like such twats, I hope more rival fans come on and wind you lot up because its more entertaining than agreeing with you lot that’s for damn sure. And ronaldo I will say is a far better player than cantona ever was who I would have ahead of cantona.
ronaldo over cantona? HAHAHAHAHAHA, you’re a fucking joke!
read manutdslagger’s post above mine, now read these comments following the 5-0 wigan result:
“jimmybob nani has impressed me. for once berbatov looks good, we have the energy of fletcher and rooney we do not need park who makes our play disjointed. nani holds the ball up well and he looks deadly on set pieces park offers nowt on goals craft, we need to attack arsenal plus its a home game. now is the time to believe in nani his confidence and belief is high keep playing him and I believe he is going to do it.”
i thought nani and berbatov are fergie’s flops? is nani average or impressing you? does berbatov look good or is he average? you can’t even get your own thoughts correct.
YOU ARE A JOKE, MATE.
sanj
oh yes ronaldo is miles better than cantona. tell me where was cantona at the age of 23 exactly. he never done it in europe and what was he doin through out the 10 years until he came to united exacly.
King Eric, I don’t know who is more deluded, Rick Jenks or manutdslagger2009.
And you’ve shown yourself up to be the child that you are. Goodbye! I’ve got no time for little people who call themselves United fans and put them down like that little cunt did.
sanj
see berbatov for once he looks good, thats the only area where nani is good is set pieces his other areas he is woeful. yes nani started to do well what happens he plays woeful again. he is not far from 23 and nani still plays like some 16 year old. nani is in fergies flops and that is a fact along with berbatov
sanj I know more about the game than you will ever know who wears red tinted specs, be worried very very worried because this team is fergies 3rd worse team behind the 2004 and 2005 outfit. and with uniteds financial situation seem to get worse in the past 6 months its worrying times. where did that 80 to 120 million go thats what I want 2 know exactly.
does it matter how old he was when he did what he did? 4 premier league titles in 5 years? 2 league and FA cup doubles? to me that seems better than 3 titles in 6 years, no? so he didn’t win the european cup, but does that negate everything else? what a stupid comment (not surprising). there is a reason he was voted our club’s player of the century and he is also one of the main reasons United had a revival in the 90s. like i’ve said to you so many times before, if you’d rather take ronaldo, FUCK OFF TO MADRID, you plastic.
Scott, please ban this fool’s IP address. He’s full of absolute drivel & has just come out of the closet as a Johnny-come-lately gobshite!
GHTT a city fan?!?!? manutdchampions2008 = avid cocksmoker.
sanj
cantona was good but no way was he has influencial has you make out. I would like to see cantona play well in the unietd side of 2004 and 2005.oh yes I would rather take ronaldo oh yea we got a tidy profit from ronaldo 80 million, did cantona win world and european player of the year I dont think so.
Park’s Dog
scott cant ban me from offering an opinion. I know this site is anti opinion on the possible out come that united are in a financial mess and have bought some woeful players
Ok then, just leave as you are a waste of time.
Park’s Dog
like yourself and the name park who is so useless you cant compare it with anything more useless.
manutdchampions2008 Ronaldo got injured and guess what u lot got beat ur a one man team. PS how many managers will u lot use this season?
why do pople still reply to this ignorant fucker???? wasting time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yO_75KYct8&feature=rec-HM-fresh+div
Oh my god…I miss him….
Besty 07
if madrid are a one man team when they have the likes of kaka benzama raul higuene alonzo diarra ramos casillas what does that make united when they were fielding park nani anderson berbatov tevez carrick o shea. and I do not support madrid they just have a lot of better talent. and like it or not madrid are in a better state on and off the pitch, fergie is keeping the whole thing together when he leaves it will collapse like a pack of cards.
god i hate international week. when was the last time there has been nothing posted on here for an entire day
manunitedslagger – as you know your comments annoy me and alot of others on here but your latest comment is a fucking piss take. Ronaldo is not fit to lace Cantona’s boots you fucking muppet. Fuck off and join the 606 debate.
Sanj – Fuck him man, he is a fool. Loved the way you brought up a previous post by him to show him up for the clueless knob he is.
Just actually read the bit where you mention the Fascists. FUCK OFF and support them you cunt.
Scott I am all for freedom of speech but this little cunt should be banned. Fucking Real Madrid fan all along and just comes on here to wind us all up. Where is the prick from?
How the fuck can you say gotta hate is a Citeh fan? He has forgotten more about United than you will ever know.
Park nani anderson berbatov tevez carrick o shea have all played in the Champions league final how many of the madrid players have done that?
kaka hasent played well for about 2 years benzama has yet to prove anything alonzo good for 1 season at liverpool, and the only reason Real are in a better position of the pitch is because they keep getting bailed out by the spanish goverment if both teams were put up for sale rite now i bet there would be a hell of a lot more people interested in buying Man utd than Real . put it this way Real are more interested in making money Man utd are more interested in winning trophies FACT.
Did you ever see Eric play? He was a fucking genious. Were you aware of the foreigeners rule in Europe back in the 90′s? Course not you were about 3 at the time. You ain’t 23 pal, you are about 12 years old.
I am fucking furious that this little prick has been masquearding all the time as a United fan when in reality he is a Madrid supporter. If he was a United fan there is no way on earth he would come out with this shit.
As much as I think manunitedchampions is a dick!! Ronaldo is a better player than cantona ever was and he still ain’t reached his peak he can seem a bit of a cunt but he’s far and away the best player in the world, and he was outstanding for united sometimes worth the season ticket money on his own!! Can u honestly say cantona was the best player in the world at any stage of his career?!?
Manchester united champions 2009 whats wrong mate? You seem a bit retarded (or are you high on something) but i somehow tend to agree with you,sometimes we need to accept the truth even if its ugly.We know we are not perfect and thats why a rival comes he always comes out on top.
lol, King Eric, you said it mayn!!
Hattrick for BERBA for Bulgaria.Youll see all 3 goals are superb
Who is planning to watch England? Lol certainly not me. Ha. But couldnt help but get overly excited when i saw Hargreaves’ face on TV. Cant wait for him to start playing!!!!!!! Why does everyone keep banging on about ferdinand and going over the top with his mistake? The way the media are going on about it. You would think he scored an own goal. I hope he silences those fuckers. Foster in goal. I hope he has a good game..
King Eric- your last 4 posts are all spot on.
to anyone who thinks ronaldo is better than cantona, please read up on the history of the club. saying ronaldo is better than cantona is a f*cking disgrace.
“We’re just very grateful he’s here. He’s such a great player. I’m still pinching myself. A player like that only comes along once or twice in a lifetime, and you don’t leave him out or put him in the reserves. You
respect his skill. Eric is the brainiest player I’ve ever seen, he sees such a lot when he has the ball. The big thing he has given United is the ability to make attacks count, not waste good positions until the right option appears, and we now finish almost every move with an effort on goal.
The other thing is his ability to release players, even when the pass doesn’t look on. If you make the run Eric will probably get you the ball.”
-Sir Bobby Charlton
Welbz19 – Eric Cantona brought a lot to the team, the club & the fans.
I am not disputing the fact Ron is more skillful but Cantona is a true Legend! He inspired a whole team & a generation! and was the foundation of the club at times. For that alone, I will say Cantona > Ronaldo (for United)
I will make the fight fair. I will ask you this. Who is better Best or Ronaldo?
Hargo is in the match box for England game. Fantastic just to see him again.
WARNING
Those foolish enough to reply to the knob2008 are in danger of being charged with consorting with a minor/grooming offences. He’s obviously a delinquent 12 year old. Let him find his own Gary Glitter…
hahahahaha
I wasnt old enough to watch cantona the king,but from the reviews i have had from the older fans here,it makes me believe eric has the edge over ronnie.
If Wankstein2008 was a UTD fan, surely he’d have his name as 2009 wouldn’t he. Because last I knew we are reigning champions.
Benzema is an arrogant overrated mug.
Ronny was and is quality, but how in the name of logic is he a more important player to United than King Cantona was. Could Ronaldo score that Volley away to Palace. No he fucking couldn’t. That Volley was majestic.
Oh dear were in “financial trouble”. Just a matter of time before we get took over by some Arabs. As it is with every EPL team. Obviously we won’t wear tea towels round our heads but United will again be in the top 5 richest clubs in the world. We already make the most money because WE ARE THE BIGGEST TEAM IN THE WORLD.
United are a cash cow, United are a cash cow, la la la la.
Aahh I’m tired of being right.
Whats going on here? When one is not writting on cantona vs ronaldo it becomes off topic,Wtf is the topic? Come on scott we need something new!!
Welbz19 – No way man. Ronnie may be better in some ways but the all round man and player its got to be Eric. More class in his little finger than Ronnie had in his whole body. Eric was the embodiment of United.
I really don’t know how United fans can say Ronaldo is better than the King.
Sanj – Cheers.
Mufc the religion hi i wanna know when will the andy broadhead site be ready? Ive checked many times and its still under constuction!!
I laughed at people who says that Cantona is not important or influential to us. He won the league every season he played except for when he’s banned for kicking that Palace cunt. Can Ronnie match that? Anyway, good day for some of our players today. Nani scored one and Berba got a hattrick.
Berba really has scored a hat trick albeit against Georgia. The man is on fire at the minute.
hurr – Has Nani scored as well?
A more meaninful comparison who is better josh king vs macheda?
Hope they havent used the entire gas we shall need it for sartuday.Heard bolton are training more for the extra time.
@King Eric, yeah, 14th min goal for Portugal.
Cantona as a man without doubt! Not trying to call cantona I loved him on the few times I was lucky enough to see him live I loved every minute of it and would would just watch him for most of the game! Maybe it’s down to age(24) that I go with ronaldo tho as I was lucky enough to see him every week for the last few years and his effect on the team was as great as cantonas (my opinion) I also thought he is a more skilful player and clinical player than cantona as his record proves?! Not trying to wind anybody up as that prick was before just feel a lot of people didn’t appreciate just how great ronny is! As for the question ronaldo or best can’t answer that as I’m too young!
Nani is playing really good. Man of the match so far and we are 2-0 up. Fingers crossed
King Eric
ronaldo is by a universal mile way better than cantona ever was who is more of a king than cantona, oh yea that tag belongs to the real king DENNIS LAW who I rate far higher than cantona. I am not going over every single award ronaldo has won; ronaldo can play in 3 positions right left and through the middle. cantona was good but not a truly great player he was poor in Europe, plus cantona had some special players around him, ronaldo never had that and he still managed to get united to 3 league titles and a European cup add 2 carling cups and a world club cup. oh yea ronaldo is the first player in the english game to win both european and world player of the year, messi is the world’s best player but ronaldo has far more weapons and is the hardest player to mark in the game because of his shear size. and I will say it again ronaldo is on another planet to cantona tell me a player we managed to get 80 million all up front even though that’s gone to the banks, thanks to the scum the glazers.
MUFC the Religion
In your own little arogant world some drunken arab would pay nearly 2 billion for a football club tell me who is willing to do that with the credit crunch. The glazers have left united in such a horrible financial state that over the past 6 months not even the success can mask these problems anymore. Oh yes and could cantona score 42 goals in one season and wipe out every award on show.
berbatov so what he scored a hatrick he has 2 good games every 12 I would expect him 2 be sold in the summer and bring in a far better forward.
Welbz19 – Fair enough mate, by the same token I’m not calling Ronaldo. The lad is a fantastic player and one of the best I have been lucky enough to see live regularly. Whenever he got the ball and ran at pace the ground was on its feet.
Cantona was not a great player? Laughable.
One guy whom i think will be up there in a few years to come is one DANNY WELBECK !! I mean i have folowed him from the academy and the boy is very talented wow! I loved the cantona celebration vs derby last season.Am already serching for my no.19 !!
King Eric
no he was not a great player not a truly great one. to be a great player you must do it for club and country and be a influence in europe.
cantona had 3 good seasons, and was band for nearly a whole season and was not the player he was in his last season.
Hey people.. I’ve not read much of this thread but I just wanted to say I can see where manutdchampions is coming from regarding Cantona. I mean for sure he was a legend as far as United fans are concerned but outside of our club his name will not have registered much.. He played at a time when English clubs were crap in Europe.
BUT I will say this – If he played in this United team he would for sure win some of the awards mr manutdchampions is on about..
LOL manutdchampions2008, you can’t even spell his name right. It’s DENIS LAW, one “n” only, you retarded WUM.
Samthekenyanred – I agree with u about welbeck I think he’s gonna be a top player just hope he’s given enough games to prove what he can do not just the odd game here or there!!! Ye he can be a bit rash sometimes but he’s 18, drifts in and out of games but his quality is unbelievable! The goals last season Stoke and derby and this season wolves show that he’s got a lot of quality!!
Look guys, everyone has a right to be a dickhead. Unlike realmadrid2009, the rest of us are intelligent enough not to exercise it…. End of….
If anyone agrees with this fanboy, you should book a meeting with a shrink together!!!!
Lets see where real will end up at the end of the season in the league and champions league than compare them to United…. My guess would be Benzema has a row with ronaldo, and they are headed to the shitter!!!!!

hmm united are in bigger trouble than real madrid who have quite a young side. so you lot presume I am a Madrid fan over the fact that I think this united side is quiet poor and Madrid are better it’s like saying brazil are better than England. I mean we are fielding players like o shea Carrick crocked hargreaves anderson valencia nani park berbatov Owen and relying on giggs at the age of 36 and scholes who has got 1 year left in him and preying a 40 year old keeper gets fit. We should be dead worried on how awful this current united outfit is, you and many on here are just pissed off at me because my views are speaking the truth and in the next 3 years I will be proven right, be worried people about uniteds financial future be very worried. Still no one is even questioning the fact that united not only have 80 million but another 50 to 60 million where has that all gone. And its not like Barcelona where we don’t need to spend big they have the talent we don’t, united need to rebuild this side it’s at times a mess.
hurr
its that all you got Cmon when you type that pethetic comment you know you cant even come up with my arguement man utd are on a big decline.
realmadrid2009, spot on mate. Totally agreed with everything you said. You must be knighted immediately and Sir Alex and the Glaziers must be shot immediately for running our beloved club to the shit holee!!!!! How’s that for an ego feasttt???
Decline or not i’m not at all worried. for the simple fact that United always rebounds……… 3 titles after 2 seasons with no titles…. now that is a pretty good rebound wouldnt you thinkkk???
and i dont give 2 and a half shitssss what club you support cus you seem to miss the point about being a supporter of any clubb!!!! Being a supporter is about giving the club SUPPORT…. its not about praising the club only when everything is daisiesss…… its about getting behind the lads and the management when things ARENT daisiess and all the ABU’s (yourself included) are riding on our backs…….

fergie is a legend you are totally right the glazers should be shot and how fc united are doing things at times I praise them for saying you know what we are not taking this crap from these hideous deformed heartless bastard owners and the fans doing things how man utd should have been structured, owned by the fans not heartless bastards who using our club has a tool to buy the club and willing to financially bankrupt the club. don’t you know the glazers have basically bought the club on tick they have borrowed more than put in and have offered nothing new, tell me what is cancer its silent and they have been silent because the way they have handled uniteds financial situation is at times a disgrace and I hope they do get shot.
Laos Red, never a truer word spoken.
No questioning Ron’s contribution since he arrived. He was pure class and entertainment. but slagging off any of our players like that is UNFORGIVEABLE!! every player chips in flashy or not!
Try telling the Bulgies that Berba is a shite player
Try telling Harry Redknapp, Sir Alex Ferguson, Fabio Cappello and the entire West Ham youth policy they are stupid to see anything in Carrick
Try telling a 26+ man squad they won all that silverware because of 1 somewhat selfish player
Try telling a bored bunch of United fans that Cantona was mediocre
You will get a Universal look of intellectual disgust & pity.
The beautiful thing about this sport & life is that everyone/player is different and everything evolves. The football of today is far ahead and way different to the football of 10 years ago, let alone 20 or 30! But Try teaching your Dad or Grandad about fucking a bird and you will be swiftly put in your place (ahem manchump2008… just a tip, but I think he’s done it before so nay bother! ;O))
It’s all cycles. Evolution, revolution. There WILL be a better player than Ronaldo (mkII). I just hope we get his best years too!
Heartless bastards?? Do you have a job? do you participate in this global capitalist economy? They have money, they need money, you need money, we need money, so do the players and heavens sake SAF needs to afford that famous Chateau! The Debt?? The fucking whole world is in Debt!! Wake up you total glory-following EMO self-harming douche (for want of a better word!)
i will try to remember his name and not respond to him in the future.. ****2008..
Ronnie > Cantona??? that’s it.. enough to show everything he is..
Ronnie is just a man.. Cantona is not a man, he is Cantona.
