Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has today announced his retirement from football.
In a Malaga press conference, the 35-year-old said his body could no longer handle the physical pressure being put on his body.
After scoring 75 goals in 91 games for PSV, Ruud joined United for £19m and spent five years at the club.
Ruud made 219 of his total 589 football club appearances for Manchester United, scoring 150 of his total of 347. He is still United’s top scorer in Europe with 38 goals.
He left United in the summer of 2006 for £10.3m after falling out with the manager, something he has since spoken of with regret.
“My relationship with the fans was very special and that’s why leaving in the way I did was, and still is, a real shame for me because I couldn’t really say goodbye to them,” he said. “It was my only regret that it went like that and it’s a shame that it happened, particularly for the fans as I saw the people at the club before I left but I never got a chance to properly say goodbye to the fans.”
At Real Madrid he scored 64 goals in 96 games and won the league title twice.
Ruud then spent two seasons at Hamburger SV before joining Málaga at the start of this season.

How Ruuuuuuuuud!
Good luck son, and thanks for all the great memories and crucial goals.
My all-time favourite United player, never have I loved a player as much as I did that man, him and Scholsey dragged us kicking and screaming to that 2003 title. Thanks for everything Ruud, absolute United legend.
Top, top Striker. A legend at O.T, we will miss you for sure. Thanks for the goals and Memories. . . . . . . Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuud
http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/
My first and best love.
I don’t think I’ve ever loved a player as much as I loved Ruud. I don’t think I ever will. He came to me just as I started following football and supporting United. Therefore, obviously, he was my first love. And you know what they say about first love. It holds true with me as well. Nobody has replaced Ruud from my heart so far.
It is really sad that he played during one of our worst periods overall in Sir Alex’s reign. He really did play with a sub-par squad along with youngsters who were learning their trade. That he still managed to score shitloads of goals for fun in the toughest league in the world shows the kind of player he was and the kind of quality he demonstrated in a Red shirt. One league title will never do him any sort of justice.
I may just find it in me to write a full-fledged tribute for him today. If I do, will share the link here.
However, today is a very sad day for me. I still love you Ruud and you will always be the No. 9 in my all-time greatest United team come what may.
Thanks for the memories and hope you can come back and teach Hernandez how to beat that offside trap.
Legend
Legend. Best striker I’ve ever seen.
The goal against Arsenal away when he got the ball on the half way line then left the defenders for dead and slotted it into the net . He loved to score goals . The best finisher we have had .
A World Class Footballer. Enjoy your retirement fella.
The man was a born finisher, I still remenber his goal away to Basel when he somehow curled it in from the byline.
Legend.
Prolific goal scorer. Didn’t quite like the football United were playing at the time though to play to his strengths.
Fuck, can it get any sadder?
Echoing Balaji and Costas.
Dazbomber – that’s my favourite goal too. Nutmegged fat Campbell.
Red Salute to Ruud. Best striker. Ever.
Fergie, fergie sign him up!
Sorry for being a negative cunt (Usually the opposite!!) but I never warmed to Ruud….. No doubt a prolific striker and his record with United was fantastic, I just never really liked him
Forgot to add, good luck to him…I wish him all the best
@Alpha
Yeah, never seemed to work as well for the team as it did for him did it? Other than the 2nd half of the 02-03 season (where he and the team scored for fun), it wasn’t our most fluent period.
I’d have him back in a heartbeat though.
Forgot to mention this earlier. This will be the first time in 7 years where we won’t compete in the Community Shield. It will be Russia vs Abu Dhabi.
A Ruud van Nistelrooy bearing down on the goal at full tilt. Sight to behold. Everyone probably knew what was going next. Great memories.
Goodbye Rutje! Hope u’ll have a good life after football. Maybe u can come back to United n teach another “danny welbeck” how to scores goal…
its been a sad day for football,. mancini bolleteli scarface and shitty are champions, and van nistlerooy retires, what is next? ferry cashley and chelsea lifting the european cup. If it happens, it will be a worse year than 2005
sure to be seen in a united shirt next season coming out of retirement
what a true great , ill always remember cunt face keown doing the ‘accidental’ attack and Ruud showing his class
Truly a sad couple of days. Let’s hope the weekend is better and we don’t have to see Cunterry lifting the UCL trophy.
COMPLETE LEGEND RUUUUD!! as for brian kidd id love to hang him by his ball bag from the sir alex stand…judas prick!!!
A Chelsea thrashing would really cheer me up
@ Cedars:
I get where you are coming from. I will ALWAYS be thankful to him for his services and he was undoubtedly one of the finest strikers in league. But somewhere i don’t know why, i just never fell in love with him.
Anyways thank you RVN, one superstar who deserved much more. May the force be with you
Also people have been talking how our kit is like a table cloth, but the table cloth does lie on the top of the table
BOOM
markyboy – With you on Brian Kidd. What a c*nt!!!
Well if this is the year for all bad karma to strike us in one huge bitchbite, i’d rather see the chavs win it and get it over and done with so that we can start on a clean slate next season. You either yank off the sticking plaster, or bottle it by pulling it off one hair at a time. I know which one i’d go for…just saying
I’m so pissed off wilt all the ABU’s Did you hear Nail Quinn,and Paul Merson on Sky Sports. It was like they had won the lottery. All this crap about the shift in power and how City will dominate the league and Europe for years.Brian Kidd should shot himself . I hate to say this, even Gary Neville was getting on my nervous. How pathetic do those light blue ribbons look on the trophy. Everyone has forgotten that they have spent 1.2 Billion to win this trophy, I just hope next season we can ram it down their throats.
Wow.
Gary Neville is on Hodgson’s backroom staff. Just signed a 4-year deal with the FA.
Strange days in English football.
Shame. We finally got a pundit that didn’t talk out of his ass and now he’ll get lost among the England shit.
@Costas
Hello Mate, yeah wasn’t very fluent and free flowing at the time.
Always used to seem like as soon as we were in the box it was like pass it to Ruud and he’ll score, or one of our wingers beating the full back and crossing it on to his head to score. All seemed a bit one dimensional but very effective. Love the guy. Just a shame the love affair ended the way it did,
@Costas
As far as I’m aware, his punditry work will continue.
WOW!
Absolute shocker that. Gary Neville joins England squad.
Obviously, I am in no position to comment on our Red Nev who has always been his own man but still…
Why did people bother watching Sky Sports??
Nothing strange with Gary joining FA. Its suit better for him than just being a football pundit.
Hodgson now G Nev. It’s like the FA are TRYING to piss off Liverpool fans. I love it!
my most fav united player
ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuddddd
Can you believe it its sunny in Manchester today, was hoping it would piss down today.
One of the best finishers ever, will always remember the “invincible” Arsenal games. Thanks for the many times you gave me the opportunity to shout goal, one of the greatest united strikers ever for me.
Gaz nev has been given four yr contract with england . There goes gerrards place
Absolute legend, owned the 18 yard box. One of our greatest strikers. Yes he was a sulky git at time, and his attitude towards the end of his time wasn’t the best….and we did look a far better team without him (other than 2002-03)….but he gave great service and its a shame he didn’t win more. Terrific player, born goalscorer.
I’m glad i cancelled my Sky Sports subscription last month which meant me missing the Everton, Wigan and the last game too … How lucky am I?? Couldn’t be able to stand all the ABU’s sucking Shitty cocks Fucking horrible cunts …. just stick to MUTV can’t go wrong there.
Was a very good goal scorrer no doubt but his overall play is not that i miss..i think arsenal’s Henry was a better player than him. good luck rudd
also never forget THAT penalty miss that puts the arsenal team in the histry book..
He is The One…..
A World class Legend…….
TRUE RED………..
We can Never Forget…………..
fucking Brian Kidd little Slimey Cunt what is with clubs taking him as their assistant do they think that he has a bit of the great mans skill in him? Fucking if assistant managers were fucking bicycles this cunt would be the town Bike every prick has had a go, fuck off Shitty Fuck off, nothing worse than seeing that fucking fag hugging Wankini and his floppy hair. also seeing him hugging the fucking golf troll cunt thanks for the ten games Kettle Neck you came back when the fucking course marshall of the course banned fucking Burnt No Neck Garden Gnomes. Frizzled up basterd ill get my frying pan and finish the Dumb Cunt. FUCK OFF CITY
BTW Enjoy your retirement Ruud! fantastic Striker RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!
@gaz
Haha. Not much was gonna put a smile on my face today, but you’ve managed it! Keep up the good work.
This is the Kind of striker we miss today. Absolute class finisher. I really hope hernandez becomes like nistelrooy for us.
@kanchelskis
Mate we all need to smile again! fuck it even if Shiity have one league title there still a fucking joke club from top to bottom! wonder how poor there turnout will be tommorow? will all the blue nosed scousers who turned to support City because there own racist sacks of shit finsished fucking 8th? fucking Strongbow jacket dogleash will probably get the bullet the racist retard!
Gaz- are we going to be sporting and cheer city on in the city centre?.
maybe the england job is his warm up gig to asst manager at united….
Genuinely top striker that loved the club and playing for United. Was sorry to see him go then and sorry to hear that he’s retired.
Thanks for everything Ruud!!
Great striker, one of the best but REALLY some fans favourite ever United player? Not for me. Doesn’t even come close to Robbo, Eric, Keano, Giggs, Scholes, Ronnie and Ole. Each to their own I guess.
Cedars – With you pal. Great player but never really warmed to him. In my opinion a legend at United he is NOT.
Imagine a young rude Ruud this season!
Would never have fucking lost on goal difference that’s for sure would have been plus 20 for starters!
It’s funny this article, for whatever reason and I kid you not I thought it nice to put my Van Nistelrooy shirt on yesterday – and so today the big man retires.
His strop was unfortunate – but of course he went and Ronaldo turned into something else altogether.
Still, would have been fun to have had him around
Alas – Thanks for the memories Ruud!
19
What the FUCK has Nev joined Ingerlund staff for? Fucking hell Gaz . You fucking hate all things Ingerlund. Lost for words. You should be at United man. Chelsea will do Munich on Saturday then I am just waiting for the ghost of Jeremy Beadle to pop out and say all this season has been one long fucking wind up.
Good luck ruud,a true legend!!
A bad weekend but Heres something that put a smile on my face…
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DJ7RGn4FWeHQ%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&feature=youtu.be&v=J7RGn4FWeHQ&gl=IE
Legend?
Well I’m not going into that debate again – I don’t see Ronaldo as a Legend but do see him as a player that transformed United – maybe Ruud was just like that too
OG Solskjaer was a legend – but I guess it’s each to there own and we have so many views and everyone is right – it’s not an issue to disagree with – we just believe what we believe.
I mean Djemba Djemba Kleberson et al they were legends too
In different circumstances.
Hernandez is going to need more fame time if he is going to be like Ruud. People often say Owen is a born finisher, but Ruud is at another level. Put the ball inside the penalty area and watch it go into the net.
If he had 1/3 of Berbatov’s patience, he would still have been around & contributing
@Redbilly
Wouldnt that be fucking class if we turned Manchester City Centre red the night of their parade! hahah!
gaz cracks me up. The poster not Nev.
WTF
I’ve got official city kit advert on the bottom of this page!
A true United Legend. I wish he stayed on just that little bit longer. Wish him all the best in his future endeavours and let’s hope you don’t end up like Gazza or Maradona after football.
@king eric
no problem pal abuse is coursing through my vains!
Was a great player but there was bit of an attitude problem.
I remember a discussion I had with a Dutch guy just after he left where I stressed this point. His reply was ” No Fergie has an attitude problem.”
I was literally speechless.
Good luck Ruud
Just had a massive down pour of hailstones here in King’s Lynn, could do with it in Manchester to piss on their parade.
On Ruud, I thought he was class, apart from his last season with us. I still miss him in Europe, I thought he was at his best in our European games.
MG
Does it have champions 12 on it?
Does it come in size extra massive?
He’s a cunt. His comments toward Ronaldo were truly unforgivable. Horrible, horrible man! Greater footballer mind, but he’s vermin.
*GREAT
@ak47
Forgive my ignorance. What were his comments towards Ronaldo?
@kanchelskis
There was a training ground bust up.
Ronaldo held onto the ball too long and Van Nistelrooy must’ve had a go at him and said something along the lines of “go cry to your daddy”. This was just before the carling cup final in 2006. Baring in mind that Ronaldo’s father had passed away under 6 months ago, it was a truly heinous thing to say.
There are caveat to this, this was a rumour, but it was strongly believed to be true. If those who reported on this lied about it, then it is them who deserve to be rotting in their grave if they think that it’s appropriate to lie about things like that just to sell a paper.
The other thing was, it’s said that Van Nistelrooy was actually referring to Querioz and not his real dad. I don’t think this is a case for defence. It’s an incredibly insensitive comment to make from a mature person like Ruud, especially as Ronaldo was very close to his dad and it really affected him for a few months. Ruud would’ve seen that anguish and hurt day in and day out.
If this story is false, then i’d apologise sincerely, but i can’t believe anyone would be cold hearted enough to fabricate a rumour to those specifics.
@ak47
Ah yes, that does ring a bell. I seem to remember the story being fairly well substantiated at the time, too.
anyone else think it was so nice to see the media not jump on Tevez and Aguero’s backs for going down like a sack of spuds when Barton hit them? Tevez especially was up like a shot moments later to confront Barton.
One rule for some, another for MUFC.
No one even bothered to notice Tevez lashing out at Barton first, red card in itself. WANKERS!
Ak47
I think that was just a misunderstanding
Hello all, STR I have a new 4 G phone and a new email address and tried Zibbie and was denied. Then Cubs please let me in on my new Email. Guys who talk to STR let him know Cubs is Zibbie.
Been to long, saw may post’s on my new phone. I was tring to get in when Willie and more were talking of me the other day. I was there lads! When you were calling for ZIBBIE.
Rooney what a player!
2011-2012 Manchester United side what a team.
Manchester United what a club.
SAF what a gaffer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO ROONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exciting summer ahead !!!!!!
I love RoM!!!!!!!!!!!
Cleavage is back, it is 80 here!!!!!
ZIBBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now the seasons over it’s time to think of other things to do.
My summer starts tonight with a Happy Mondays concert in Dublin. The Inspiral Carpets are supporting as well.
Then next month I’m off on holiday for 3 weeks.
Then 2 Stone Roses gigs in July should keep me busy till August.
It helps keep my mind off all the transfer bullshit.
@Ak47
At that time, it was clear Sir Alex had to choose 1 between Ruud or Ronaldo. Ronaldo was chosen, and the rest is history
Well done city, fucking next year your dead meat to be hung, dried and eaten with crusty bread and a red wine of choice.
Regarding the Neville news, sorry but I can’t help but feel that he’s joining the other side so to speak. First Sky and now England? They are both our enemies.
@kanchelskis
Oh, I see. It’s a good thing he’ll remain a pundit too. More him probably means less Summerbee!
KEBAB!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHA THE DARK SIDE!!!!!!!!!
FUCKING GOAL DIFFERENTIAL!!!!!!!!! WHAT A TEAM IN A TRANSITIONAL YEAR 89 FUCKING POINTS, ROONEY GETS HIS BEST LEAGUE GOAL TOTAL, KIDS GET GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Marq
the rest is history, but we’re a club with principles and standards which is why SAF rightly kicked him out. He should’ve done the same to Rooney IMO and signed Aguero when he made those comments about our club, but that’s my opinion.
Ruud was an amazing footballer, don’t get me wrong, but i think he lost all respect when he behaved like he did. Which is why i refused to follow the rest of his career.
Unlike Mr Rossi, now that Villereal have been relegated, and we’ve got a buy-back option in his contract, is it a risk to sign him again, it’ll be on the cheap however he’s had 2 bad cruciate ligament injuries in the past 12-18 months.
@Zibbie
I thought the GD was a painful enough way to lose the title. But to lose it like we did yesterday was sickening. I still can’t master the courage to mouth off we’ll be back. What a horrible season it’s been. Every cunt walking the planet has lifted a trophy.
I blame Rooney too. 34 goals again and no trophy again. Just like 09-10.
ak47 sell Rooney bite me!
What the hell is Gary Neville playing at? He should be at United coaching the young reds or something instead of wasting his energy and talents with the Ingerlund sh*te!!!
ak stuck in 1972 haha, Million $ entertainers. Rooney is awesome.
Gaz- no room for reds . City centre full if blue. Its a massive club.
My balls are still in my throat as well. Kicked hard. Now next!!! How to win 20. SAF and Gill have there business all but done!!!!!! FUCK SHITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zibbie says:

4:20
I will return!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a sad day for many reasons. His departure still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
We may never witness a goalscorer, so prolific, and so lethal.
I sometimes didn’t mind if United lost a game, as long as Ruud scored, it felt like victory.
You will never be forgotten, Van The Destroyer. RVN10. Legend.
mancdub
Soon Abu Dhabi will seek vengeance on America
Do the Americans have a plan?
They better have. I trust the Glazers have been in contact with the President. This is the highest priority and national emergency. The fate of the world now rests on a club left to pick up the pieces of an Arab rebellion!
We are now at Defcon 3. Time for reinforcements.
Zibbie!!! You’re back!
Great player who brought us many great memories. Too bad he needed to leave in such a way, but I will always remember him with good thoughts.
Thank you RVN
MG
I have a stop over in Abu Dhabi en rout to Bangkok next month if there are any special missions I would be honoured to volunteer.
As long as it doesn’t take more than 3 hours because I have a plane to catch.
I loved Ruud when he was banging them in for United. I stopped bothering myself with him when he left! And some of the stuff Im reading above about his departure is sad!
How come nobody is talking about Sir Alex Ferguson’s visit to Germany for their cup final. Everybody was buzzing when he went to watch Hazard. Is this a sign that people think Kagawa is s**t, only be signed for selling t-shirts? To me he is just what we need and he gave a good account of himself.
Kagawa>>>>Silva. Sign him up!
HOOOORAY Zibbie!
Really missed you bud!
We need to really come together on ROM like we did last summer.
I want to Fly.
Last time I remember United having homecoming was in 99 when over a million fans lined the streets to welcome the team and their 3 trophy’s.
Have you seen the state of this?
http://www.itv.com/news/story/2012-05-14/man-city-trophy-parade/
And they say the city is blue
Gaz , ur a legend..
Welcome back Zibbie! Were you waiting for the summer transfer saga to resume? We are in for Wee Wes again!
Situations vacant
Suicide bomber required, manchestet area.
Must be able to drive an open top bus
can anyone tell me something about van persie rumour to united?thanks before
GGMU
This summer am starting the Kagawa clan, however it wont last long coz this is going to be a quick bit of business.
Mancdub
Rob all the fucking oil!!!
Parijs van java
Yes mate.
It won’t be happening
Anyone had anymore news on the singing section??!!
Mike
I don’t know much about robbing myself but one of the lads on the trip is a genuine scouser so we should be sorted.
@ ZIBBIE
I hope im not being too BLUNT but when you said it was 4:20 on your post it was actually 16:55 local time.
Something Smelly about that post
Mancdub
You’ll be sorted then mate. Take a few jerry cans with you and we’ll bankrupt the fuckers.
Today and forever: Red Flag Flying High
United’s flag is deepest red,
It shrouded all our Munich dead,
Before their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their heart’s blood dyed it’s every fold.
Then raise United’s banner high,
Beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die,
So keep the faith and never fear,
We’ll keep the Red Flag flying here.
We’ll never die, we’ll never die,
We’ll never die, we’ll never die,
We’ll keep the Red flag flying high,
‘Cos Man United will never die
We’ll never die, we’ll never die,
We’ll never die, we’ll never die,
We’ll keep the Red flag flying high,
‘Cos Man United will never die
By the way I hope Ruud has a happy retirement from football. he was a great servant for the club.
He should come back one day to say goodbye to us properly!!!!
Was watching 8-2 game and it was so obvious how naive we were . Poor positioning and no discipline at all. Shows how much we missed the serbinator.
But that one moment where De Gea saved the penalty was amazing. Specially how the young lads like Jones, Welbeck and Tom C ran towards him. That one moment told me that as long as we make good young quality signings we are going to have one hell of a team in the next few years. maybe just maybe Rooney can be the Cantona these players need. However not going to keep my hopes too high for that.
This was one test of fire i am glad the lads faced. The disappointment on Jones face after the result showed that this is going to sting like hell. A year on these players will be better, hungrier and ruthless. maybe this is what we needed. Might just wake up the glazers and we can finally spend good .
UNITED
Dont Stop Believing
That’s all we can hope to take out of yesterday! I’m already looking forward to the commentators saying “this title has wiped away the bitter memories of city’s late winner last May for United’s young stars” can’t wait. And I’ll be there shouting from the rooftops. Mancini are you listening, you better keep our trophy glistening, cos we’ll be back next may, to take it away, walking in a Fergie wonderland! Fuck off city, fuck off city, fuck off city.
Robin Van Cedars?
I heard from his dad who is his agent that the deal is well done.
MG small print. Subject to status and approval. And final underwritings by United management. MG @ rumour.com
Where is everyone ? Are they all at the city parade?!!!!
@Mikekelly12
I know mate. These guys are united , they will bounce back. we have vanquished far better teams. I mean people can talk all they want but they fact is they have marginally better despite having the rub of the green.
We just loaned em the trophy.
I am not a negative cunt but does anyone feel that a change in the backroom staff is needed?
i mean we can say Vidic wasnt there but we were ridiculously naive in defense. The Chelsea game comes to mind. Someone should have noticed and corrected that. we cant just rely on getting shocks and then improving on it. Second chances dont come everytime
*city have been marginally
Mancub- checked the link. Is anyone watching the cunts?. I see hargo parked in the middle, poor cunts in crutches . Fucking ass holes .
mancdub – Enjoy the Mondays tonight pal. Gotta love Shaun Ryder.
SheBangsTheDrums – Kings Lynn? I thought you lived in Australia or NZ or somewhere? No?
Unbelievable! Anderson has been voted England’s Player of the Year.
Who would have thought it.
“Second chances don’t come everytime” as we found out yesterday!!
PVJ- van Persie and schweinsteiger both itching to play here next season. Midfield and defence flooded with german hardmen. City will be issued will doggie pop bags prior to playing at OT. They are in for a bug surprise next term. The old fox does not like anyone getting the upper hand on him, it’s personal .
Durham the disrespectful cunt tonight saying City better than United’s treble side and any Arsenal side. Is this bastard for real? THAT good yet only beat a United side crippled with injuries and blooding in De Gea and even Danny W by goal difference. The way they talk its like they won the league by about 20 points.
Great think about this club and real fans , though dejected you are all bouncing back already . Soak up the city love in, blue love bus and Nasri partying away like the gimp he is. Focus it for next season. Manchester is red .
Is it me or does the City victory parade look cack?
RedBilly – Hello mate. Hope Nasri falls off the bus and cracks his skull open.
King Eric- the cunt is attempting to bait us and the club. All ass licking to the big money owners. Did you see the sheik. Full time didn’t give a fuck. Needs to fuck off to F1 .
Doghouse – No it looks cack pal. I have just seen a photo of bit part player Adam Johnson out with his bird last night with the winners medal round his neck. In fucking public. What a cunt. Giggsy loses his in draws.
Just been watching the class of 92 on mutv, I use to go to the Cliff every Saturday morning to watch this class side . So many great players in one team. They went on to win the Youth cup such great memories . then to see half of them get in the first team and play for so long was unbelievable . There are two teams in Manchester ,United and the reserves
I know it is not good when you need to rely on other, especially a shit team like QPR, but when you look at the two injury time goal the bitters scored you cannot help yourself concluding that QPR simply threw the match. They new they were safe and did not bother any more. Dzeko was marked but QPR defender did allowed him a free header. For the winner they were simply invited to score – no closing down, no blocking!!
I could not bare too read the back pages today. Are these journalists thick or what. Can’t they get the simple facts right. Shitty:
a) Bough the title
b) Were extremely lucky to have won it.
c) They are not as good as they are making them appear. (Had QPR stood as real men till the end they would not have won)
I hope we have learned from our mistakes, get a couple midfielders, a striker and a defender and kick the shit out of them next season. Regaining our title from Wasteland cheats will surely now be Fergies big, big challenge!
Not watching the parade. I believe it’s full of, how dya say??? Cunts!!
King Eric
Durham is a cunt WHAT have these done to be mentioned in the same breath as our treble winning side?? Maybe he thinks a treble is won over 3 years so if they win the CL next year they’ve emulated our treble!!

You lot can thank me later
Evenin… Who said that the tannoy announcer at City announced the Bolton result at 2-2… Can anyone confirm that?
Does the Citeh parade remind anyone of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding?
Well and truly the end of an era for strikers.
Ruud, Inzaghi, Del Piero… All retiring from football! End of a fuckin era!!!
Xyth
The bitter fuckers are flavour of the month at the moment, everything gets glossed over! It’ll all turnaround in time, they’ll become ad hated as us as they continue to splash the cash and buy trophies. Let them all think it was an incredible league win, let them believe the hype surrounding them. It will be all that much funnier when we do em over next year and everyone will wonder what the fuck happened to that intergalactic team of last year that blew everyone away (10 man QPR who had given up in injury time!)
I see that Joseph Barton has been fined by the FA but no charge for any of the City players, not Tevez for throwing a punch? or Balotelli?
I’ve found a video of some financial experts explaining the Glazer’s austerity measures. Which will unfortunately result in us scratting around the bargain basement this summer while leaving Fergie to claim ‘we don’t need anybody or, no value in the market’:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_TGQ7rGL-Q
I’m pretty sure if Kenny hadnt been given the opportunity of letting Aguerros near post shot in, the refs would have given a penalty for someone shouting “mine”!!
Monday, 14 May 2012 – The Manchester Gay Parade!!!!
I like the MUTV reporter that’s interviewing the players. Hayley has somne competition.
gaz – Hello mate. Keep up the good work on the abuse. Fucking love it! I hope that fucking cunt Nasri falls off the bus and goes under the wheel. Bastards the lot of them.
I think Costas ate some funny kebabs
Hayley
any other reporter
Fucking Ledg to the End !
Love this guy, If Chico can be half as good he’ll be the one of the best around.
From 2001-06 with Ruud, we certainly should have achieved more than the 1 premier league but 150 goals in 5 year with an average of 30 is outstanding !
You would think they had won the league by a mile, goal difference You ABU twats
I have been watching cookery programmes since this morning when home
And airline investigation
No chance MG is watching that fucking parade
Rather walk with the gay parade than watch that shit
King Eric
Alright mate. The Monday’s are playing the Olympia theatre tonight and tomorrow. It’s only 3 mins walk from my flat.
I’m sat in the theatre bar now.
Can’t fucking wait. Not seen the Monday’s since about 89 or 90 in Heaton park.
I might go tomorrow as well.
Fuck it
When does the next season start already suffering United withdrawal
For any Tevez fanboys remaining out there, enjoy your idol in all his glory. With a “RIP Fergie” sign:

Mancub- watching the Monday’s at Brixton academy. Last time I watched them was in the huge venue under piccadilly station. Awesome.
Watching the shitty parade? I’d rather stick red hot pokers in my eyes.
As for Ruud he was a fuckin genius in front of goal what a signing Sir alex. Sad to see him go when he did but thats football. They’ll always be a place in my Utd Heart for Ruud.
Kings- I dislike Nasri more than kettle neck . At least he speaks his mind though misguided. Nasri has proven to be a first class gimp and ass licker. He’s not fit to be red, glad he didn’t sign.

Nice one. I’ll let you know what the shows like
Parade is shite. Reason. Players don’t look convinced they are champions. That’s because they are right !. Only on GD. . A billion and ahead on gold difference. Small club .
Thanks for that sign Tevez, just the inspiration our players need for next season. What a troll..!!
All they need to do is stick that poster up in the dressing room before each game and we will steamroll everybody next season includin the nethanderal scarfaced little cunt!!
Ahhhhh
Did you read James getting misty eyed?
James there is a place for you in all of our red hearts…
Ahhhhhh!
The Monday’s are one of manchesters best bands ever .
Mancdub- thanks. Will be a great show
Gary Lineker: “Vincent, what was the most important thing to help City win the league this season?”
Vincent Kompany: “Money. Fucking shit loads of money.”
MG says:
I have been watching cookery programmes since this morning when home
And airline investigation
No chance MG is watching that fucking parade
Rather walk with the gay parade than watch that shit

I would rather be fucked up the arse by all the marchers in MG’s gay parade than watch them cunts lift our trophy
Reasons to be cheerful.
Good evening, fellow Reds. Well, it happened and best bet now is to follow Fergie’s quoted example and move on now that final whistle has blown. All true Reds will be backing the boys 100% and anyone looking for a scapegoat can go buy a blue scarf.
Here’s my silver linings for what they’re worth:
1)We didn’t lose to City. They had decades of trying to do it for themselves and never came close. We lost to stupid money from people with no connection to England, never mind Manchester; manager and players ditto.
2) We’ve been here before. We all remember the initial worry when another mid-table club ( Chelsea ) had endless money pumped in. It looked bad at first, but United came back stronger and saw them off.
3) Despite everything, we’ve put down a marker to the Sheik. Yes, you’re loaded, yes, we’re millions in debt, but we were right on your shoulder at the end. And can you play any better? Cos we can. You won’t double us next season, for one. And we won’t be dropping some of the other daft points that got away.
4) We will now get some new blood. If we’d won the title, who’d have bet against a summer of rumours followed by the announcement that our squad was good enough? Don’t think that’s going to happen now.
5) We are Manchester United. I don’t need to explain that any further, except to say I would not swap all City’s billions for our class, our pedigree, our history, and our support. If we win nothing for in my lifetime, I will die a Proud Red.
Watching mutv awards some great interviews. Gill promises money will be spent!!! Let’s hope
“Nothing more”
Hazard has told the press he is going to Manchester City next year. Well he said “Manchester, I’ve already said. The decision will be made soon.” definitely won’t be us so it must be city! Pogbas agent has also told Italian Sky that he’s very close to completing the Juventus deal but still not done. Nice one Pogs!

Is there any chance you know where Teves lives. We’ll pay him a visit in our best suits and black ties.
‘We’ll lay down the Lords vengance upon him’
Redbilly – Nasri is a despicable little cunt. I really want someone to finish his career. After seeing Tevez holding up that plaque I hope he suffers some serious misfortune. Kettle neck judas cunt.
James
We can just head to Chester where they all live, sure someone will just point the way
Scar-face should be afraid, very afraid to walk alone in Manchester!!!!!!
I’m going to horribly honest now, I’m kind of glad the season’s over !
We went from Fantastic to Pure shit over the course of the season and was getting worse entertainment wise, creatively, naturally burnt out and out of ideas,tactics and resources.
Anyone else agree?
Just look at August ( Fast flowing football, we lit up the premier league, 8-2, Bolton etc )
Then May ( Beat by Wigan, Everton complacency, Fearing City, Swansea – no killer edge, Sunday – drained emotionally. )
This season taught us some very harsh lessons, CL, Europa, 6-1, 4-4, Wigan 1-0. Chelsea 3-3, Liverpool in the FA Cup, the Young kids have hopefully learnt some lessons from a very rough, ruthless killer season.
Many was thrown into the deep end (De Gea, Jones,Evans, Rafa, Clevs, Welbeck) only a few survived the the bloodshed (De Gea, Evans & to an extent Welbeck), the rest got crushed by the media and “fans”.
Hopefully the Euro lads and Olympic boys are not burnt out or get injured, we need to do well in 2012-13.
But Seriously I’m genuinely happy the season is over, for us comfortable reds over the last 6 years, this years been reasonably rough and heartbreaking on Sunday. We;ve had worse days but this year was gruelling and I’m sure the fans are as fatigued as the players.
Feel free to disagree !
Kings
Nasri has a career? The over rated Fishfaced cunt.
Tevez is a disgrace but we and city know that. His talent us unquestionable. But as a man his character is bankrupt. I’m not angry about the sign as it’s testament to the club. He did it because he knows the club will let him . Thanks tevez. You truly set the tone of you tenure as champions.
It’s important to understand that United can take this
That’s all what city have got and Tevez proves it so
Why get angry? Let us be humble about it and sponge it
Sponge it and then answer it all on the pitch
I’m glad SAF will know what happened.
Be cool ROM be cool!
Fergie just announced our nmidfield signing. Scholes will stay for another season.
Kings- I know how you like most of us . It’s unworthy if a reaction other than to rise above it . He exemplifies the club. Anything us tolerated providing one can deliver. The man is no man .
Costas
I can’t grumble at that one.
@James
Personally I grumble at the thought that we will enter the new season with the same midfield options. Want to be Carrick and Scholes will be the regular pair at CM this time next season?
Tevez did it from I’m not playing for city again because there was a 9 million hole in his backside that only the Arabs were willing to fill up again
Let them have the trophy let the man and his people pour scorn on us, there is nothing that he or they can say or do to belittle us.
After all what we are made of is what they want to be.
Fun times ahead, just don’t choke again United!
Its remarkable the amount of disrespect city allow it’s players to show both within and to other clubs, truly classless. Will be the undoing of them. Thankfully
Costas – if we do not see 3 to 4 quality signings in the summer, we will not win the league. If we do not see the midfield extremely strengthened, no question about it, the glazers are really making our transfer activity more difficult than ever
what did crerand say about rooney in his interview? couldn’t make it out…
I hope tevez has a leg break, or better becomes more than scarface
Tevez you fucking cunt!! It was probably passed to him by Gary Cook!! City officials and fans alike were probably applauding and laughing. This little cunt who fucking slated Manchester, slates his team, club and manager stands outside MY fucking town hall with a fucking disrespectful poster grinning while the hoards he took the piss out of applaud in adulation. Dya know what, that excuse of a human being and excuse of a football club deserve each other! Cheap fucking classless cunts!!
M19ke
We should make him walk through Salford with that on a sandwich board. Lets see how far he gets the brave little Argie Troll.
I hope we all get the pleasure of seeing somebody do a Haaland on the Argie cunt!!!!
If Shitty were a proper team they would not have allowed that. If a United player had done something similar, old farts at the FA would have charged him by now!!!!!
Xyth- our club and players would never lower themselves to such cheap shots.
@Redbilly
Absolutely.
But if our players get banned for next to nothing, this is a perfect opportunity for the FA to show that they do have a spine! But knowing who is their head, they will do fuck all!!!!
Xyth- I’m afraid so. The FA. Will follow the money. We know where that leads.
Any day now we’ll hear these famous lines:
Gill: We have funds available for Alex to spend on specific transfer targets, the owners have always back us in the transfer market.
SAF: No doubt about, we’ll looking into 1-2 players but I am happy to start the season with this group of players, you have to remember we’ll have Anderson and Fletcher coming back, Scholes playing a full season, Thomas hopefully will get a few games under the belt. We are in a good place with the midfield. Carrick will be crucial for the next 4-5 years.
Then on Sept 1st You’ll hear;
SAF: We worked throughout the summer on this particular deal and we are happy we have completed it on time. We’ve tracked him since the U21 Tournament and he has progressed well since.
Yeah, well, we have also a scout in Latvia where we asked him about this young player playing in second division in Ukraine. There was a complication apparently in his contract which allowed him to leave to go to Helsingborg and he’d only played three of four games and our scouts insisted that we should sign him. It was a bit of a leap into the dark really because we hadn’t seen him play, we sent down one of our scouts down with Gustavo from Albania to see him play in the last game before we signed him and then he comes up and says there’s something exceptional here, we’ll maybe seeing something really special, and so we took the gamble at that time, I think Man City and Athletico Madrid were starting to move in, it was one of those instinctive things, you have a smell about something and you take it. So he’s joined us but mentally, he wasn’t ready, hasn’t done a proper child-hood, so the last few weeks since he’s joined, we’ve been working on him psychophysically . He’s now played 1 game out of 10 reserve games and he’ll be involved in the team tomorrow at Reading and you’ll see the progress now.
I am 100% Stefane Lede’ will become a fan favourite here at Manchester United.
does anyone else think our 2007/08 CL success is tainted when this TWAT was in the team
@fergie is the boss
Not really. If Fergie knew then what a low life he was he would not have signed him. At least he was under good tutelage then!
I personally feel angry now with myself for going to OT and cheering him up! Wonder what Evra and Park have to say about this? Are they still gonna be best mates with him?
Tevez is lowest form of life a total Twat,Cunt,Bastard,Twat,shit I fucking hate him
Hope the United players & Fergie have seen this twat and his poster
how dare he !! I want to run him over again & again
Baton should of took his fucking argie head off & shoved it up his Arse !!
I am not usually one for over-doing the bitterness but I really wouldn’t give a shit if Brian Kidd and Carlos Tevez dropped dead.
Loved him as a player and a man, classy and not a flashy git like most of these footballers. Good luck Ruud, if he had stayed I have no doubt that he would of become our topscorer.
Rutgerus Johannes Martinus “Ruud” van Nistelrooij…….United Legend!
