Scholes On Tunnicliffe, Pogba, Keane and Cole…

Last week, Sir Alex Ferguson singled out Ryan Tunnicliffe, Paul Pogba and Will Keane as youngsters at United who had the potential to make it in the first team.

Paul Scholes, who has been working with our youngsters in his new coaching role, has supported the manager’s assessment, as well as praising Larnell Cole, who made his début against Leeds in the League Cup last week.

“Three excellent players who you’d hope will get a chance in the first team,” he said. “Tunnicliffe’s gone down to Peterborough and has done OK down there. Pogba has got amazing talent. He’s such a big lad for his age. The physique he’s got is unbelievable. I think Will Keane has the capability to be a top-class centre-forward. He’s one of the lads I’ve been working with. He was always someone I liked when I was watching the youth teams. He’s just got a presence about him, he’s a strong lad and has great feet – the ability to strike a ball. The kind of things Van Nistelrooy had. The first time I saw him I thought ‘Jesus Christ’ because he was smashing balls in from anywhere. Keane has the potential to do that. Any others? Larnell Cole. He looks a great prospect. He’s very small but he’s a very clever footballer. He’s similar to Shaun Wright-Phillips but a player who can play inside a bit better than Shaun. Shaun’s an out and out wide man but Larnell can play in a three in midfield.”

    Cole is already better than SWP ffs. :D

  2. Ravi says:

    I read the interview on guardian. Loved this statement in the End.

    “This is the only book. There won’t be another one.” Much as there won’t be another Paul Scholes.

    Anybody got their hands on the book yet?

  3. slim says:

    read this story on the guardian. also mentioned he’s 2 weeks into his role with the reserves. My God those youngster are lucky and you can bet he’ll be in SAF’s ears to try out one or two of them. Ryan definitely coming back into the team next year. Ando better watch his ass. lol and the rest better watch their backs. The young Devils are coming home

  4. King Eric says:

    Slim. Spot on pal. Really pleased to hear these comments especially about Keane who is a natural goal scorer and a clever player. We all know about Pogba and my favourite Tunni but good to see little larnell coming through on the blindside. The future is very bright especially with Paul working with them.

  5. markg says:

    tunnicliffe and pogba are monsters hope they bring it to the first team along with morrison

  6. Rationalist9 says:

    Funny how Ravel Morrison wasn’t mentioned.

  7. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Not sure larnell cole getting compared to shaun w philips is a compliment lol, so morrison gets no mention? boy has great talent but attitude needs work, he should be amongst the batch of young player’s that should be getting save reviews.

  8. NBI Red Onion says:

    Also Fryers I would add.

    I think Ravel is on probation with the club or something.

  9. dannysoya says:

    WTF is that fat drug mule maradona saying now? saying some rubbish about fergie having big players when he became a big coach WTF? that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that he backed mancini up. Well I know who the greatest of all time is. THERE IS ONLY ONE PELE!!!!

  10. This Is The One says:

    Larnell Cole, is he Andy Cole’s son?

    I might be way off the mark there, but I’m sure I remember reading that Andy had a son in the academy.

  11. devilnani says:

    @This is the one
    Larnell has no relation with andy whatsoever…
    Andy’s son plays for city

  12. Ash says:

    I think United are doing a great job by keeping morrison out of media. everyone knows the lad has huge talent and could easily be a star player.No need to rush Ravel.Let him learn his skills at reserves.He came back from injury last week so its a good news.
    Who knows come next year he could feature in the side and play in F.A cup matches.I think we fans should be patient with him.We cannot afford to lose such a talent.
    As far as other name mentioned there is no doubt players like tunni,Pogba ,Will keane ,Larnell cole,Fryers etc have bright future.They have got the nest man to look out for them in LEGEND scholes.
    Now this is how a club should be run.
    LOVE UNITED

  13. Ash says:

    BEST MAN* typo

  14. adams costa says:

    in some league matches we need those clique of youngsters to heat-up attack instead of using carrick to flop our midfield we use pogba or keane to worry attack..up man u.in some league matches we need those clique of youngsters to heat-up attack instead of using carrick to flop our midfield we use pogba or keane to worry attack..up man u.

  15. TonyBee says:

    why no mention of Morrison….from appearing in the first team last year all re[ports about Ravel seem to have dried up…is he in the shit again?…. anyone know what the fucks going on…..

  16. TonyBee says:

    Pogba’s gonna be a destroyer in the midfield….he is already built like a brick shit-house and he’s strong as a fucking ox….just wait till he fill out…… fuck me… he is knocking players off the ball now by using his physical presence when his is at his peak hw ill rule the midfield like Keano…. you heard it here first :lol:

  17. voice of reason says:

    @tonybee
    he is being left out from the spotlight. The club is trying to protect its biggest prospect.

  18. Andooo says:

    Amazed at the amount of stick Anderson got from the blog yesterday. Just watched 50 minute highlights and im wondering if i watched a different game. IMO he was our best midfielder and scored the all important first goal. 
    If Berbatov would of spent the day offside like Hernandez chose to do he would also of been abused, yet everyones beloved Mexican gets off free from abuse.
    Fletcher affected the game in no way shape or form. 
    Nani had one of them days but who cares when he produces like he does on a good day.
    I really thought Valencia at right back was going to be brilliant when Fergie pulled it out of his magic hat but today proved that is never going to be the case, thank god for the internationals so we get some defenders back!
    Defensively woeful again with Darren the destroyer on the pitch, what has happened to the guy I would never of thought I’d say this but I’d rather see Carrick.
    All in all a poor performance from us but the stick Anderson has receieved is unjust considering how some of our players played today.

    Sorry for any typos in advance on the phone.

  19. kanchelskis says:

    Just read Maradona’s comments. Who the fuck does he think he is? Fat, coked-up cheating prick.

    I guess he knows fuck all about Fergie’s time at Aberdeen?

    And look who he’s managing… Al Wasl in Dubai. Fucking failure. Hope the Arabs catch him with some charlie in his pocket and cut his hands off or some medieval shit like that.

  20. Neil_loves_United says:

    Not really sure what’s going on with Ravel at the moment.

    I think the midfield is missing Cleverley. His will to chase the ball down is what we’re missing at the moment. Fletcher will need 3-4 more games to get back to some kind of form. But when he’s in form our midfield will be fine.

    Hate the International break’s but it seems like this one is coming at a good time for us.

    Decent result yesterday, but sloppy performance. Fuck it wins a win.

  21. CedarsDevil says:

    kanchelskis

    Read his stupid and silly remarks on the link below….Such a great talent as a player yet an idiot of a person, always was and always will be…Daft as fuck really

    http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Manchester-United-manager-Sir-Alex-Ferguson-branded-a-joke-by-Diego-Maradona-over-Carlos-Tevez-comments-article807156.html

  22. Mikekelly12 says:

    This is the one
    I work with Larnell’s cousin, deffo no relation to Andrew Cole mate.
    TonyBee
    I reckon Sir Alex is just refusing to give Ravel any column inches at all to the blood thirsty media. If he’d have mentioned him in the article you’d bet your bottom dollar they’d dig up the same old shit!
    Andooo
    Have to disagree mate, was at the match yesterday and Ando was shocking! I’m not saying he was the only one but he did look like he’d had a few cans of Stella before the game!

  23. CedarsDevil says:

    Shame that I do not have MUTV anymore, always loved to watch the reserves and youth teams to keep in touch. My only source on the youngsters these days is the internet and of course RoM…. I have heard great comments on Ravel by many here, especially King Eric, if he is as good as I have read then I hope he sorts himself out and get his chance…

    MG – I noticed you called out for me on the other thread my friend however it seems you took good care of the troll!

  24. Red Neck says:

    Maradona may have been a great player once but he lost any credibility as a footballer, a sportsman or a person years ago. So good he needed to cheat. The waste of space isn’t fit to mention Sir Alex Fergusons name. The debate as to who was the greatest of all time will always divide opinions. Maybe I am biased but for me George Best just shades Pele. As for the greatest manager of all time then for me Sir Alex is out on his own. Sir Alex got to work with great players because he had earned the right too. Maradona should shut his mouth and show some repect.

  25. Mikekelly12 says:

    Cedars
    Morning pal. I think we know who the “really big joke is” at the end of that article. Maradonna looks like a down and out whose found a suit outside the back of Primark! Fat cunt! We all know Sir Alex didn’t become a great manager after getting big players, however, the question was how Mancini copes with (so called) big players, so if Maradonna believes that Sir Alex only became a great manager after getting big players then he is the perfect person to comment on the situation. Diego you dozy hypocritical knob jockey!

  26. KVN says:

    I think that Pogba, Tunni, L Cole, Morrison, Fryers and Will Keane
    Will take United to a higher level. Imagine in two years time

    GK – De Gea

    LB – Fryers

    CB – Jones
    CB – Smalling

    RB – Rafael

    RM – Nani
    CM – Cleverley
    CM – Pogba
    LM – Morrison

    CF – Rooney
    ST – Wellbeck

    Subs: Tunni, L Cole, Park, Fletcher, Anderson, Lindergard, Young

  27. Mikekelly12 says:

    KVN
    Nice thought mate and would be ideal for a club like ours. I think 2 years may be a kittle ambitious for that complete picture and we all know Sir Alex likes to bring in at least one new face each year.

  28. Mikekelly12 says:

    Kittle… Hmm, not really awake yet..of course I meant “little”

  29. CedarsDevil says:

    Mikekelly12

    Hello my friend, well said and its a no argument really….Still I can say that I watched the idiot live (Think you did too) when he played for Barca during that famous and magical night at OT…

    Red Neck

    Hands down George Best is the greatest of all time, obvious bias aside anyone with half a brain would agree to that statement

  30. Mikekelly12 says:

    Cedars
    Indeed we did! He looked like a little cannon ball with legs and arms and a curly wig back then and not a tramp in a suit waiting to go up before the beak on vagrancy charges.
    Georgey Best…. The name says it all! The only ammunition people have to discredit I’m as truly the best is his lack of World Cup opportunity. We’ve had the same issues with Giggs.

  31. Mikekelly12 says:

    Discredit “him”. Wow I can’t type on this phone!

  32. CedarsDevil says:

    Mikekelly12

    Not to worry about typing buddy, I cannot even type on a large keyboard! Loved how you described how Maradona looked like back then! Still remember all the booing he got on the night as the Falklands war was still fresh on people’s minds.

    As for Bestie I do not really care about all that ‘he did not do it on the big stage’ nonsense…Quite the opposite to Pele in a way, the Brazilian never really stood out at club level, except for his 1000+ goals of course!

  33. Mikekelly12 says:

    Cedars
    “apart from his 1000 goals of course!” ha ha! I take your point though. I think in our current climate, performing in the champions league is the benchmark people use now as opposed to the world cup.

  34. Sandeep1878 says:

    some intersting number game..

    ‎19 Premier League titles ! 19 consecutive league wins at Old Trafford ! 19 points on the board so far this season ! 19 goals scored ! And Our last goal was scored by jersey number 19 – Danny Welbeck !

    btw, when was the last time we pulled such a slow tempo show at OT?

  35. Mikekelly12 says:

    Sandeep
    Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Nineteen ! Interesting stats indeed. It also came out in the lottery on Wednesday so we should have seen it coming really! I think the last slow tempo game at OT was last Tuesday!

  36. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Morning ROM!

    I have to come out and say that I’ve not seen Pele, Best, Maradona or any of the greats live for obvious reasons. But having seen a lot of their videos on Youtube, footage of old matches and so on, I can say with no doubt whatsoever that I would’ve paid my entire fortune to have a chance to see George Best play live than anybody else. If people think I am speaking with red-tinted glasses, then so be it. God knew it before everyone else, hence the name itself speaks for itself.

    The only modern footballer who has excited me as much as some of Bestie’s videos have in terms of pure footballing skill is Zinedine Zidane.

    Anyways, why the fuck are we even giving consideration to Maradona’s comments. That fat fuck cannot even take a bunch of great players with Argentina and have them play proper football, let alone take a club to the highest reaches of modern football time and again like Sir Alex has done. IMO, nobody has any right to even speak about the great man. He is on a plane all his own and we mere mortals can just stand and admire him in amazement. Hyperbolic statements for sure, but who can say that Sir Alex does not deserve them.

    Read Paul Scholes’ full interview on The Guardian. Typical of the man itself. I cannot wait for his autobiography to hit shelves here. It will make for some of the greatest reading in recent memory.

  37. CedarsDevil says:

    Sandeep – Nice stats my friend, as for your question, too many to mention! We have been blessed with great performances over the years, especially at home but we have also witnessed some nail biting ones that have left us as nervous wrecks at the end…. That is part of the beauty of supporting United..

    Mikekelly12 – Just wonder how the likes of Messi & Ronaldo would have been back in the days of crap pitches and challenges that were deemed acceptable?

  38. Red Neck says:

    It’s a crying shame George best Never got to shine at world cups. Undoubtably If he had then these debates over who was the greatest of all time wouldn’t exist. People shouldn’t judge George Best on what he won or how long his career lasted but just on his God given talent and ability. Pele was brilliant but Best was a genius.

  39. NYDUDE says:

    @dannysoya: maradona was brilliant, pele was great but GEORGIE WAS BEST!!!!!! Where are Tunni and Keane from?

    As for Pogba- a big physique and talent which will come through the ranks at some point

    Fergie knows best as they say!!!!

  40. CedarsDevil says:

    Red Neck

    Its not even a debate my friend, nor should it be…. Even Pele himself said that Best was the greatest and if the World Cup is the bench mark then that Saudi player who scored a great goal vs Belgium should also be a contender for the best in the world!

  41. Red Neck says:

    CedarsDevil
    By Pele saying that about George Best shows how highly regarded he was by people who knew what they were talking about. Pele told it how it was unlike tabloid journalists or jumped up football pundits with an agenda. Respect to Pele, Maradona could learn something from him.

  42. CedarsDevil says:

    Red Neck

    Maradona could not learn the art of running from a snail…. Less said about him the better

  43. keano99 says:

    @NYDUDE Keane and his bro we’re born in england from irish parents will plays for england and mick plays for republic of ireland. But they both play for the republik of mancunia and that’s all that’s important because united are > than everybody else. red army

  44. Red Neck says:

    CedarsDevil

    Very true. Fucked up Argie prick. Is he related to Tevez by any chance?

  45. Mikekelly12 says:

    Cedars

    You make a good point regarding Messi and Ronaldo. Look at the flip side. Imagine George Best today!!! Perfect pitches, perfect football, nobody allowed to tackle him! He would take the absolute piss!! FIFA would have to ban him for the sake of fair play to the other teams and Northern Ireland would be world champions! The amount of videos I’ve seen where hes been clattered and his body just bends while he stays on his feet, snakes around several more players then puts it in the net! Amazing.

  46. Sandeep1878 says:

    Cedars and Mike,

    thanks mates, hope u both good,

    yeah the beauty of supporting this club priceless..

    UNITED

  47. Red Neck says:

    Mikekelly12

    When you see the amount of goals being scored by Messi and Ronaldo these days it does make you wonder how many George Best would have scored had this been his era. With cards being flashed about for nothing tackles George would probably have ended the first half playing against a team with just six players left.

  48. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Tony – pogba is an all round midfield player, he is way more talented than just a destroyer, he is all round quality.

  49. King Eric says:

    Andoo. Disagree mate. Was at the game and ando was poor. Lethargic. Fletch did ok and played a belting ball through to hernandez but was offside. He isn’t back to fitness yet but was better than ando without a doubt.

  50. King Eric says:

    NYDude. Tunni and keane are both from the Manchester area pal.

  51. slim says:

    Pogba ain’t no destroyer, he uses his physique to impress himself on the ball and get away from markers. The destroyer midfielder in my opinion is dead. Think Carrick with ball skills to make you get the lube and Kleenex out. KVN line up for 2 years time doesn’t seem to far fetched. That could be part of the main squad, there’s experience in there too, Rooney, Nani, Smalling – 2 years is quite some time. I mean the Euro’s would have been played by then. May not not be so far fetched. and i’m gonna echo King Eric. Those 2 lads are form MANCHESTER baby. Eat your heart out haters, Tunni is gonna rip a new one. Fuck i can’t wait to see him, pogba, Tom C and hopefully Ravel doing the business and with Super Danny upfront, lawd have mercy. Excuse me while i go get out my “tools” be back in a few tugs

  52. Clint-iamyourpapii says:

    Ando was literally ” the bomb” yesterday as Kids put it in the 90′s.

    He blew up whenever near the ball, he destroyed play, I don’t know the statistic but I think he got like 30% of his forward passes on target. He was our very own suicide bomber. Aweful performance, was quite surprised with his headed…even the manager was.

    International break has come at the right time, United can hopefully forget about this crap run of form.
    Hope Young doesn’t make the england squad like Carrick. Hope Rio isn’t ready either.

    I pray to God we beat Liverpool at Anfield, I would give a toe just to rub it in front of those shite scousers at anfield. After the Suarez-Evra humiliation, Nani – Carragher Horror tackle, I wouldn’t mind if we cheated and dived to beat those sour cunts….Hate them Soo Much, disgusting people, one of the least intelligent animals in existence.

  53. Zelh says:

    wtf is bolton doing?
    4-0 down after 30 minutes.

  54. Clint-iamyourpapii says:

    Fuckin Hell Chelsea !!! Drop Torres for one game & 4 fly in the space of 27 minutes.

    Looks like they are our main rivals despite being 3 points behind which is really nothing at this stage of the season.

    C’mon Spurs & Ade-Buy–Whore, put Arsenal into a grave…

  55. Gary says:

    @Zelh

    Bolton fans got what they wished for in Owen Coyle and this is what they get. Nigel Reo Cocker was on a free for a good reason and that’s because he’s bloody useless. The worst premiership footballer I have ever seen who wouldn’t stand out in league 2. Hiw this man gets paid as a professional footballer at the highest level is one of lifes greatest mysteries and tragedies? They were in free fall at the end of last season and they have continued it into this season.

  56. smartalex says:

    “I’ve got three or four years left,” Ferguson said. “I feel good. But when I do leave, I will leave in place a strong young team that will continue to succeed for my successor. It’s all about team spirit. In a match, I only need eight of my players to be on top form. If the other three aren’t up to it, it’s not serious. The other eight do the work for them”

    “There has only been six matches where I’ve had all 11 players perform at their very best. It’s like swallows. They always fly together in a group, in a V formation, and those at the front do the majority of the work. And they alternate regularly. If one swallow flies out of formation, two others go to get him and bring him back into the group.”

    “It’s the same in my teams – sacrifice, friendship, and the giving of oneself to the team.”

  57. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Fat frank gets a hat trick, i think that says more about how terrible bolton are than how good he is, he is slower than a rusty bike.

  58. NBI Red Onion says:

    @ Andoo

    Mate, ando’s passing game has bern poor for a few games now and error prone. Carrick may not do anything spectacular but he has a low error rate and rarely provides an opening for the opponent. I would love Anderson to be truly world clas but while we have seen real ability, we have also seen loss of concentration, too laid back at times, poor passing, careless loss of possession, failure to track back and and an inability to dictate play or even be relevant in mid field at times.

    The problem with Anderson is that the errors are serious ones and they occur to often, he is apparently the most laid back player off the pitch but he has been trusted by the manager to stake his claim as CM and he needs to step up to own it. Hopefully that consistency, focus, passing error rate will improve.

  59. Gary says:

    @NBI Red Onion

    Are you winding me up? Is this the same Carrick that set up Man City’s winning goal in the fa cup semi final and also wanted too much time on the ball and then fell over which led to Bayern Munich gaining a corner from which they scored from in which Carrick turned his back on Robben’s shot. Anderson’s hasn’t improved a jot on his use of the ball, he’s technically poor for a Brazillian player but Carrick is no better.

  60. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Gary – if he was technically poor, he wouldn’t be starting regularly for united, he lacks composure on the ball not technique, his form was good at the start of the season until that chelsea game, he needs to improve.

    Carrick is a steady player, nothing flashy but gets the job done, reads the game well but don’t expect him to do anything extraordinary, he can be sloppy too but that seems to apply to most of united’s current midfield players apart from cleverly who is composed and classy, not suprised fergie is championing the likes of pogba, tunnicliffe, morrison (if he sorts out his attitude). this guys are have huge potential and capable of claiming regular first team places but at the moment, our weakness is midfield.

  61. Clint-iamyourpapii says:

    FUCK OFF Gary –
    You hate on Evans, now Carrick who next Evra, Anderson lack of height growth ? Maybe Berba, Giggs ? Or will you go straight for the head of Fergie when we we lose 2 games in a row.

  62. smartalex says:

    FUCK OFF Gary –
    You hate on Evans, now Carrick who next?

    Support Manchester United. Discuss, without attacking with vicious lies.

    @clint-iamyourpapii

    “Is it just me or did Evans Outperform Jones despite all those slippery slides he went on ?”

    It’s definitely just you. Evans is a liability and has been for a long time.
    ————————————————————————————————
    Seems like a Evans basher to me ….”for a long time”, When? SAF doesn’t think so, why else is he here?
    “Anderson’s hasn’t improved a jot on his use of the ball, he’s technically poor for a Brazillian player but Carrick is no better.”
    You fail to mention his technical improvement and Carricks contributions last season by mentioning one mistake in a period where he was fantastic and in form !

    Discussing the players would be give Pro’s, Con’s and improvements to be made, not criticise then criticise some more, I understand if your pissed Gary but it seems like you dislike what those 3 lads bring to our team.

    I apologise if it feels like an attack & for my swearing but you downplayed Evan’s contribution in his Utd Career by saying he’s a liability which has pissed me off considering he’s a sucessful youth player I love.

  65. Gary says:

    I don’t hate Carrick but I when someone says Carrick’s error rate is low I find it hard to agree with. He’s made mistakes in big games. Evan’s himself said this his make or break season and you don’t think I want the lad to succeed?! He was poor yesterday and that’s a fact. I don’t give him stick every player gets my support at Old Trafford but I worry when he’s in the side and especially when Rio or Vidic are not along side him. As for “support Manchester United” I have been travelling around the country since the age of 9 making a 380 mile round trip every week with my dad often missing lads holidays when I was a season ticket holder until this season. I live for this club. Fans can criticise in confined blogs and I don’t think anything I said was over the top. Look on other blogs namely after Wednesday night. I defended slating of players.

  66. fergie is the boss says:

    Samuel – united WE stand – that is not always the case, the likes of oshea was not the most gifted on the ball, anderson is now more established in the team because of the lack of fierce numbers in the middle and the lack of investment in the engine room

  67. Gary says:

    @Clint

    Where did I label Evra as a liability?! I fucking love Evra he’s contributed massively to the club’s success. He himself though by his own high standards didn’t have his best season in a United shirt last year and was poor on Wednesday night. The team defended badly as a whole on Wednesday night but Evra was so casual in their second goal jogging back and allowing the cross to come in he was the captain and a senior player. He’s better than that and it concerns me.

  68. Clint-iamyourpapii says:

    Ok, I no longer doubt your support considering your sensible reply, its just Carrick is undervalued, yes he makes mistakes but who doesn’t, Rio made several blunders in the past and recently but he doesn’t get the same treatment, Rooney despite his ambition antics gets more love than Carrick. Carrick’s signing kick started a sucessful Era for us and the bashers don’t see this.

    Evans is not a liability, its not make or break for him either, SAF is the best judge of character and ability and if he think Evans has it in him for United then I do aswell, Evans has proven a number of times he brings great calm to our defence even though his feathers was ruffled against Norwich. The lad has versed some of the best and come out on top, he’ll continue to do this for many years to come.

    Everyone has their own way for supporting United which I respect, Mine is to go to the odd game I can with my crap wages, have knowledge of the club’s history and what it stands for, to be loyal during the rough times & back anybody who manages or plays for United from the medics,to assistants, to club cook, to kitman to the groundsman. United are not something that I just watch, I have an emotional tie with them, they are a family to me, teaching me more and more about how football should be like. They are family, you don’t criticise who’s in your family because their blood….

    UNITED ARE IN MY BLOOD.

  69. mikekelly12 says:

    I thought Ando and Evra were poor yesterday. I was suprised he stayed on as long as he did, but fairs fair, if you’re gonna have a shit game, make ammends by bagging a goal. I mentioned yesterday that Evra looked like he lacked energy as he failed to work back with any urgency, but he was like that on Tuesday too. But we’re all human and if a player never had a poor game then they’d be getting regularly drug tested. Their goal now is to show improvement in the next game and all will be forgotten.

  70. FletchTHEMAN says:

    On topic, Pogba is definitely on a star trajectory, his 45 min v Leeds looked very confident. But great work from our 18 year olds.

    Question: Did Scholes not mention Morrison at all? If not then Ravel is well and truly out in the Wilderness! Hope he comes back with his head properly screwed on. Come on Ravel !

  71. Clint-iamyourpapii says:

    Evra ! what you smoking, you called Evans a liability !

    “Is it just me or did Evans Outperform Jones despite all those slippery slides he went on ?”

    It’s definitely just you. Evans is a liability and has been for a long time.

    I always had faith in Evans and now he is proving what a class act he is, no wonder the boss stuck with him…

    What the hell is going on at Fulham? :-)

    A car ad appears on my TV regularly starts by asking can a car excite you? Like fuck no is the obvious answer… Now stick Meg or Nigella in the said car and the answer will change… :-)

    Cedars, Fulham are the new Barcelona did you not hear ?, However will we beat them with Carrick and Evans starting :lol:

    Can I handball and then score? Can I bite my lips regularly and appear to be an intelligent pundit? Can I be really stupid and fool people in being smart? Can TV make me pretty when in reality I am ugly as fuck? Questions asked by Townsend……… Please respond with heart and passion

    I miss Kings, where on earth is he?

  76. Costas says:

    Like I said recently, the Liverpool game will be a good indication about whether we’ve learned our lessons about away games or not. Sadly, Bolton’s form this season doesn’t make our win over there seem special in any way.

    Always a pleasure to see that ox head Warnock get stuffed. I wonder if he will bitch about “the type of penalties you see at Old Trafford” again.

  77. CedarsDevil says:

    Papii

    Good point, wonder when the Swans will concede at home? Perhaps Evans will be celebrating there soon?

  78. Fred says:

    I’m delighted that QPR have been smashed 6-0. Fuck you Warnock.

    As for Stoke, well it’s no surprise to see that after playing as though their lives depended on it against us, they’ve reverted to type and have been easily beaten 2-0 by fucking Swansea. Cunts.

    :roll:

  79. CedarsDevil says:

    Costas

    With Warnock its not about bitching, you see… he is a bitch!

  86. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    F.i.t.b – fair enough buddy, the jury is still out on anderson for sure, he joined along with nani but the portuguese has improved far more, we shouldn’t still be debating about his quality after four years, his consistency and composure is questionable. i think he can come good but whether he’ll step up and become world class, i honestly do not know but time will tell. we have quality young midfielders so he either steps it up and be consistent or his place will be taking, simple.onsistency and composure is questionable. i think he can come good but whether he’ll step up and become world class, i honestly do not know but time will tell. we have quality young midfielders so he either steps it up and be consistent or his place will be taking, simple.

  87. Cyril Sneer says:

    Ah, must be something wrong with posting web links to my blog. Never mind, you know where it is if you want the latest post.

    Anyone else noticed how Scholesy has given more interviews and soundbites since he retired than he did through his whole career? I thought he’s the shy one!

  88. mikekelly12 says:

    Im pretty sure he’s already dead.

  89. mikekelly12 says:

    Cyril

    I’m sure the interviews will die down once his book starts selling.

  90. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Clint – i don’t think you could have made any more clearer lol.

  91. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Arsenal have thrown it away.

  92. Cyril Sneer says:

    Scholesy doesn’t need publicity to sell his book any more than he needs the money!

    I’m only joking, I’d rather hear Scholesy’s opinions than some twat like Southgate or Townsend.

  93. mikekelly12 says:

    I agree mate, but you know how these publicists are…its these boys that want the coin and will be pushing the promo. If anything, the last interview I saw with the Ginger Prince he was actually underselling it….”there are no amazing revelations or anything about hating anyone or stuff like that” Typical Scholesey……Look forward to reading it though.

    haha great commentary from G Nev describing Gareth Bale – and I quote….

    “when you see him open his legs like that, it’s a fantastic sight”

  96. Cyril Sneer says:

    @TonyBee – Hi mate, thanks for that. :-)

    @MikeKelly12 – Nev’s book was quite understated too. he had a bit of a go at the FA but that was it. they must be melowing with age!

  97. ginger pele says:

    first time to the game fuckin hell it was surreal and AMAZING but i tell u what fans sitting along side me were fuckin quiet a few were passionate and that thatss it the rest were like sitting and just watching PATHETIC imo but overall IT WAS SUPERB

  98. mikekelly12 says:

    McQueen
    Funny as fuck!

  99. MG says:

    The type of penalties you see at Old Trafford but nowhere else

    :lol:

  100. Costas says:

    First the tongue kiss with Scholes and now this. Red Nev is slowly coming out of the closet isn’t he?

  101. mikekelly12 says:

    Costas
    Which is strange as its Phil Neville who has the lesbian hair cut!

  102. Collyhurst Red says:

    @Costas

    It;s not really Liverpool that worries me, our last couple of home games, and I am including CL here, have contained some bad defending and Shitty are up next. They might take some confidence from watching our last few games.

    Regarding Evra, my view is he has got his mojo back but unfortunately can’t do it alone. He plays like a left winger most of the time but this means he sometimes gets left upfield and needs someone to cover in those situations. Yesterday him and Park just didn’t click.

    One day we’ll have all our defenders back!

  103. SINGH7 says:

    @Mcqueen You beat me to it , Hehehehe , good old G Nev …lol

  104. Cyril Sneer says:

    The dippers game isn’t a worry for me, it’s a good thing.

    The team needs a big game to build the fire up a bit and they don’t get bigger than a grudge match at Anfailed.

    Rooney hates them, Nani out for revenge for last time, Vidic back. It’s clobberin’ time.

  105. Costas says:

    @mikekelly12

    Haha! I guess Phil was more comfortable with his sexual preferences. :lol:

    @Collyhurst Red

    I know that we can’t depend just on that, but our home record does make me very hopeful about the City game. Just looking at the past 12 months, we’ve beaten City, Liverpool (twice), Arsenal (3 times) and Chelsea (3 times) at OT. But I definitely agree that the defending has to be better. We can’t afford to give them as many chances as we gave Norwich or to allow them to go 2-0 up again. As for the Liverpool game, I am really curious about what Fergie has in mind. Some interesting decisions he has to make for that. Will he start Vidic and Tom? Will he pick Dannu ahead of Hernandez? Will he play 4-5-1 or 4-4-2?

  106. KVN says:

    I think SAF is saying to Anderson, “prove to me you can run midfield”. IMO he’s been hit and miss. Will be interesting to see Cleveley comback and see how they develop together. As it was working untiL TC got injured. Also, once we have our settled back four we’ll concede less goals if any at all. As much as I like Rio his back injuries has naturally hindered his performances. That’s y once Vidic gets back it will be either Jones or Smalling at CB with either one at RB.
    If Pogba keeps pushing and progressing for 1st team spot then Carrick or Fletcher’s place will be unde threat.

  107. WillieRedNut says:

    Some howlers today from keepers, eh? Imagine if that was De gea? I bet there’s no media hounding of these 2 mopes. That Bolton keeper looked like he just come out of the stands, and went in goals lol. Chesney Hawkes had a nightmare with the winner for spuds. He won’t get singled out like DDG, though.

  108. Cyril Sneer says:

    @Willie – that’s cos Chezzer and the Bolton guy don’t play for the biggest club in the world! Different levels of expectation and all that :-)

    Besides, everyone loves leArse.

  109. berbatunday says:

    to be fair to to chestknee (which the media won’t care about if it was DDG), the ball did dip and swerve at the when it was 2 yards away from him

  110. Collyhurst Red says:

    @Costas

    So many formations!

    I think we’ll need experience at the back to combat their new Keegan & Toshack combination :-)

    I’d love Tom to give Stevie Me the runaround but I see Carrick.

  113. NBI Red Onion says:

    @ Gary

    I appreciate opinion on Carrick is divided and like all players he has made errors, and sometimes he is slow to get into gear at the start of a season as SAF has said, however, on current form this season I think he is doing okay and is more consistent than Fletcher and Anderson. However, like pretty much everyone else I am awaiting return of the Clever one to take us up a gear.

  114. redrider says:

    denis law live on talksport??!

  115. Belfast Red says:

    Why is there never any mention of Petrucci? Do Reds not rate him. Fergie busted his hole to snatch him from Roma and they were furious but he hasn’t had a sniff of the first team,surely he should get his chance.
