Manchester United kick off the season on a Monday night, after our game against Everton has been moved so it can be shown live on television.
Paul Scholes, who this time last year was planning what he was going to do in retirement, has said it’s frustrating having to wait to start the season.
“It’s happened in the past sometimes,” Scholes told MUTV. “Everton away is a big game and it’s one TV will want to televise live. It’s just the way it is. It’s a bit frustrating as you want to get going as fast as you can with a Saturday game and get some points under your belt. But we’ll have to wait until Monday night and hopefully we can win the game.”

I hate the wait…..
Monday night football at Merseyside,
the wait has been eternal this season
Ok now, lets be having it………..Less talk and more action on the pitch Scholesey!! ha ha ha
Scholes, Just the thought of him playing one more year warms the heart.
Hope to hell we don’t really need him though. Honestly, felt way to desperat last year.
Posted a list of some accomplishments that we might look forward to with Scholesy,
1. 3 games shy of 700 games
2. 15 games shy of 500 EPL appearances
3. 9 goals shy of tying Mark Hughes 163 United goals.
4. 1 shy of 11 EPL winners medals
Always thought that Scholes was overrated, too short, can never tackle and hardly gets his passes spot on
Cedars,
Lol, you better say that comment to Evra and not Scholesy
For what it’s worth, the last time we kicked off the campaign on Monday night, we won the title.
Cedars,
plus always plays shit in big games..
and he did cost us a lot

How the fuck do you know all that shit?
Manchester United kick off the season on a Monday night, after our game against Everton has been moved so it can show off our new “pyjama” kit in a more natural environment.
Fergie has promised to read the players a bed time story if they are good, or a half time story if they are naughty.
Costas,
thats a good luck charm then Monday night
##
for all Debuchy fans, he is on the verge of joining Newcastle
Many wanted him at united, so just posting this..
Cedars, LOL!
Sandy, I think the summer hasn’t gone quickly on ROM land because of the appearance of boring posters. Last summer, we had WUMs and trolls but they were far more entertaining. This time thought. Everyone of them has been boring with no personality at all. They make the time move so slowly that we eventually get bored and ask them to fuck off.
he’s just a greedy midget who’s blocking the progress of the youth…
wining is wot we need bcus everton is our enemy
With Jeet on this one, just like Giggs he is a greedy fuck
I hope to see less of Scholes starting next season. Not because he’s past it. I want Clevs to be one of our main men in midfield. Along with Carrick, that’s a potential partnership United could be doing with. I love Scholesy and Giggsy, but my feeling is, they’d be best coming off the bench as impact players. It’s no slight on either guy. I’m sure they’ll still start in certain games, were their experience is needed. The only issue for Clevs is his fitness. If he can stay fit, this lad could be a major player for United.
Err since when have Everton been our enemies?
@Cedars
Ah, that one was easy mate! It was 2 years ago against Newcastle. I remember us playing at night.
@Sandeep
Sure hope it does. Overall, we’ve had a very good track record at Monday night games. Except for the last one we played at that time slot.
Good news on the Larnell Cole front:

Ceders I don’t mind everton either they hate liverpool as much as we do so the enemie of my enemie is my friend (but their still fucking rat munchers).
Sky sports news understood Pogba had signed a new deal, too.
Hope it’s true!
Balaji,
True that pal..
Jeet and Cedars,
ture that as well as he is blocking the progress of the youth
Willie,
sensible post, we all have our idols, its time to look ahead..onwards and upwards!!

Costas,
Yeah pal
that was one Monday night game which we lost after many years and what a massive sucker punch that was..
i think prior that Monday night defeat, the last one was against Southhampton and during that season also we lost the title i think..
co-incidences or patterns – call what you want..
####
I think ROM is gearing up to be its normal self..
the pre season of ROM has begun
come on your red nuts,
##
Willie,
your red nuts have become black these days?
@Willie: Do you think Clevs is more of a midfielder or in the Kagawa mould? Havent seen much of his defensive work, TBH.
Don’t get me wrong, I would like to see all our players getting a lot of chances. And I do believe that they will – people forget its a long season and injuries (nod to Costas) happen, as does squad rotation. My judgement would be that Clevs/Kagawa/Giggs form one unit of the squad. Which of course means we need another midfielder to play beside Carrick.
This is why I love Scholesy. He is a fan just as much as he is a player. Fantastic servant. Surely has to get some sort of monument at OT sometime in the future. LEGEND.
Also it is torture waiting for kick off. The entire summer INCLUDING Euro 2012 has been complete nonsense. Only two good things have happened this summer and they both involve united. Vidic returning and the New signings. ROLL ON THE BIG KICKOFF. We’ll be ready. Time to get 20. COME ON UNITEDDD!!!!
Historically our only true enemy have been leeds………..Their hate for us is beyond words. Liverpool came into the fold in the late 80′s (I am sure Sir Giles could confirm) The bitters were always and still are a laughing stock
The community shield between Chelsea & City, how fitting it pits the 2 teams that epitomises waste of money.
For the community!
Jeet – He’s not like Kagawa. Clevs is a proper center mid. The former is a pure number 10. Happy to hear Fergie will play him further forward. I didn’t say Giggs wouldn’t play. I know it’s a long season. I just want to see us move away from our reliance on the 2 legends. Scholes and Giggs will still play their part. The point i was making, if Clevs is playing more next season, that can only be a good thing.
He’s past it and so are Giggs and Carrick. Wayne will leave because the club aren’t showing ambition. Evra will leave because Park has left but it doesn’t matter because Evra is shite.
Ashley Young was a waste of cash and Nani will leave because he’s too good for us. Our midfield will get battered by city and chelsea with their big stars while we ponce about with losers and failures like Anderson and Cleverley.
That’s just some of the negative shite I’ve read on here over the last few days. Maybe we can have some actual supporting today?
Let me wade in on this debate. I find three major problems with that starting line-up that the sun put out.
1. Our Best winger, Nani is not in the line-up. Nani will get in ahead of Young EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.
2. Cleverley should get the start ahead of Scholes. Scholes understands that we have to bring someone thru the ranks with at least more than half the talent he has and that man is TC23.
3. Welbeck might not start as many times this year as last year.
I don’t mind Everton. Always had a soft spot for them. The one thing in common we both share is our hatred of Liverpool!
Cyril
Do not hold your breath mate
Ohh, I just brought up Giggsy as an example of the “Kagawa mould”…not to react to your post at all….if Clevs can fill the gap in midfield, we’d all be fucking delighted.
Willie
Shame that, always thought you had a soft spot for me! Sniff
can’t wait for the season to start… even the stupid computer is not helping these days, crashing everytime am starting to play FIFA 12
Cedars – You’re my idol!
John Terry trial verdict is expected this afternoon.
Predictions?
I reckon he’ll get let off.
Cyril – I’m hoping for the death penalty. Too much to ask for?
Willie
So are you, so are you!
Cyril
I think its safe to assume that you would find that we were all taking the piss here today…
Right, I am off for my walk, best not let James and Mike know though, else them fuckers will just take the piss
New day, new name lads. Eriksen this time. Apparently we’re in talks…..
Willie – i agree regarding scholes and Giggs. Both are maestros and are united legends but their circle as great performers is close to the end. We need the younger talented midfielders need to step up big time in order to minimise the reliance on them and the less united rely on them, the better for the club.
Willie – you never know, the judge might be a red
Cedars – yeah, I was just getting in before any real doom merchants appear. Meh.
Cedars,
You are my idol as well
Willie,
You are my second idol,
Jeet,
You are my enemy
Agent of fergie,
I m your agent
what the fuck?

Lordrt,

Exiting at the group stage and we are still nip and tuck with Milan, barca and madrid..
Sandeep – you are my love!
What did I do to earn your enmity?
its the Ando – Tom c combo that’s gonna be the theme of the season…
Sandeep – Yeah, another name for the media to throw out there. Law of averages suggest, they’ll get one right!
Lol at Jeet,
I was just kidding mate
no shit rape shit, where the fuck is the house owner Cedara?
dannysoya LOVES SIAN MASSEY – I disagree, valencia I think is our best wide player, nani has to many off days for my liking, and valencia apart from hitting double figures is the most complete winger at the club. I still think we will need a CM, because fletcher cleverly and anderson I fear will not get through the season injury free, we know the deal with fletcher, but the other 2 always seem to on the injury list, scholes has barely a year left in him, while kagwa is more of a forward. So it is crucial we sign one more midfielder, just to ease the burden off scholes and carrick, and give Powell the time to settle in
Samuel – Agreed. Not being down on Giggs and Scholes. Respect both. That goes without saying. Sir Alex is moving towards a more fluid expressive formation. That will need energetic players in CM. I personally think next season will an exciting one for United fans. If what the boss is planning comes off, we’re in a for treat! Can’t wait…
To be honest I hope Paul Scholes retires now and comes back in ON DEADLINE day and shock us all as the midfield signing.
Only then will this terrible midfield satisfy me because we’re always saying how we need one more midfielder.
Who knows if the Moura rumors are true,don’t know much about the lad but reading up would appear to be able to play midfield or attack. With him being 19 is a positive not only in his playing deveolpment but also not getting a cynical rent boy who only gives a fuck about the money,still young enough to buy into the Utd way.Rafael is also a big plus for the lad to settle,i know the Daily Mail is a joke but the ‘insider’ is rating the move 4/5 so the paper believes this is going to happen
WillieRedNut – I hate everton a little more after the way they came back which helped shitty win the title, I really want united to give everton a good going over this season
@Sandeep: Cedara’s pipes are leaking again…he’s dialling emergency numbers for a quick plug
wayne – if he can play in midfield, and he is not just a striker I will be happy with the signing, if he is a midfielder in the making, perhaps powel and moura are not only replacements for pogba and morrison, but they are a couple of years ahead of the other 2 interms of development. Perhaps moura and powell are there to replace the likes of anderson and fletcher, while kagwa replaces scholes for his goals and creativity. He is basically the WS signing
It’s hard to imagine us spending the sums quoted on a teenager playing on another continent – wonder if chasing Nuri Sahin would be better…
FITB – What did you want them to do, lay down? Lol. They’ve also done us a few favours down the years.
Two line ups have me jacking off at the thought are;
DDG, Jones,Smalling,Vida,Evra,Nani,Anderson,Cleverley,Young,Rooney,Welbeck
&
Lindy, Rafa, Evans, Vida, Baines, Valencia, Carrick,Scholes,Kagawa,Rooney,Chicha
(Rio,Giggs,Berba miss out but they are hardly terrible cover are they, also I would love to see Rio-Vida be reunited after such a long spell of being separated, they are like brothers ….SOLID)
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/darren-fletcher-tribute-why-football-will-be-poorer-1141858
Great article on Fletcher lads.
FITB we all have our opinoins but I think Nani is our best winger. He showed what he could really do two seasnos back. He was incosistent last year because he was injured for 60% of the season. I guarantee you that if Nani played every game for us last year, there’s no way we would finish second. He can use both feet excellently he even added tracking back to his game. But we all have our opinions.
On the Lucas Moura story. I don’t know enough of him to make a clear judgement but if he can play anywhere in midfield and can also play further forward and is just 19, then hey I wouldn’t mind that at all. Means he is super versatile.
I have no hard feelings towards Everton either. I like sides that give it their during a title race even though there’s little in it for them. They did what they should have done that day. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same for our side.
Jeet –
Willie,
thanks for the link mate, its really great read in detail..
Jesus christ my comment is full of so many freaking mistakes. Sometimes i beahve like a fucking Ape. sorry for the mistake-riddled comment. You get the picture though right?
fergie is the boss hi mate here’s just a little piece of an article i read by the sounds of it this lad has everything,Sir Alex building a team of interchangable players seems he’d fit right in
Like those players, he makes most of his runs from wide areas – in his case, like Pato and Hulk, from the right. But he also drops a lot deeper to pick up the ball. In this regard he functions almost as an Iniesta-style attacking midfield player. He can be on the right flank, the left flank or deep down the centre at any given time, which is what makes it so difficult – particularly after just two professional seasons – to accurately predict his position.
It’s Lucas Moura’s pace and ability to dribble the ball through a crowd at speed that gets scouts drooling. He does, however, have a reluctance to use his team-mates and has struggled for consistency this season. Some Brazilian pundits have gone so far to say that his development has, if not stalled, slowed a bit. But the makings of a superstar are there; the natural talent is undeniable.
I love Moyes and have a lot of respect for the way Everton battle,my problem Utd have always helped them out with players at low transfer prices so don’t think it’s right if their playing hardball over Baines
wayne -
are you saying they owe us a Baines?
They are poor, United should offer a respectable price plus a player £12m + Bebe/Macheda…or just give them Berba.
Clint no mate i think 15mill would be a fair price but someone yesterday said Everton are holding out for 20mill,if Utd have been fair with them thru the years then show some love back,in the long run would be beneficial for them
Dannysoya – Im with you mate !
For some reason, I believe Nani is the 2nd best forward at United. I think it because of what he done in 2010-11, that has left a giant man crush.
Valencia is a rhinoceros and a rapist down that right wing, but Nani wins my heart. He’s just amazing. He’s improved so much. His work rate defensively has grown, he’s so dangerous coming in from the right on his left, he score more on his left foot than most right footed wingers. He’s unpredictable, he’s a spark that ignite at any time. He’s got fantastic crosses, he can run down the middle and take on 4/5 players at a go. He can change direction , bring players out of position.
He’s a completely different player to Ronaldo and I love that he’s grown into his own. Yes his mental strength is lacking (Liverpool and the Valencia competition) but when given the green light for a long time, the lad knuckles down and gives his all. The biggest issue is that he can be even better with more game time….but we have Valencia…a monster down the right aswell. A more direct and scarier beast…more reliable and effective !
Its wonderful problem to have !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e7cZeU-oPs&feature=related (Nani skills)
I love his goal against Chelsea !
Sandeep1878 : fine buddy n u? lol been here and there (and everywhere) trying to see who is joining next
Thought it was a security risk letting United and Everton/Liverpool play each other at 8pm? Oh the TV wants it. Security goes out the window. Glad its at Goodison Park, would have been seriously pissed off if our first home game was on a Monday night.
TERRY NOT GUILTY.
LordRT,
i m good pal, thanks.
The Cantona,
fuck them cunts FA and terry..
Scottish giants Rangers will play next season in Division 3
and CUNT is not found guilty..
WillieRedNut @ 11:32: “I love Scholesy and Giggsy, but my feeling is, they’d be best coming off the bench as impact players.”
Totally agree although I’m not as confident about YoungTom as you/King Eric seem to be.
@Willie, Fletch. Tears of a clown run down my face.
@Wayne and FITB good stuff reading your back and forth.
WillieRedNut @ 11:46: “Sky sports news understood Pogba had signed a new deal, too. Hope it’s true!”
Taking the piss – or what ?
WillieRedNut – they have, but I want united to gain revenge over the toffee’s
Make it worth the wait Scholesy – let’s have a Scholesy special to open the campaign with!
