Football and social media can be more closely correlated than perhaps we realise. Whilst we don’t care so much what they say, the fact we now have the option to hear our idols has helped bridge the gap between fans and footballers like never before.
Players from across the globe take to social network sites – mainly Twitter – to express anger, rage, happiness, exchange “banter” with their celebrity ‘mates’ & ultimately boost their profile even further, with our very own Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) a prime example of this.
This year sees Euro 2012 head to Poland & Ukraine of which there are seven Manchester United players involved. So how do Nani, Rooney, Young, Evra, Jones, Lindergaard & Welbeck stack up on the social media front? All players apart from Wellbeck have Facebook pages and Nani, Rooney, Jones and Lindergaard have Twitter accounts.
Nani – @luisnani
Nani currently has 1.2m Twitter followers and since Euro 2012 started has acquired 30,587 more. In the previous 8 day period before Euro 2012, Nani acquired 21,382 more followers – meaning the influence of the Euros has resulted in 9,005 more than his general growth. Nani’s “growth trend” – fluctuation in TW followers – results in an average increase of 300 new followers per hour.
However, when he plays for Portugal and the eyes of the world are upon him, this jumps to over 1,000 / hour! Check it out.
Lindegaard (@ALindegaard) & Jones (@ph1lj0nes)
Unfortunately both Lindegaard and Jones are yet to feature in the Euro’s so far this year. Lindegaard has 114,000 followers with Jones way ahead on 480,000. Given their limited appearances both on and off the pitch, actually being in Poland/Ukraine has done little to boost their social profiles. Besides a small jump for Jones after the England-Sweden game, both follower levels have remained very similar to before the tournament. Lindegaard’s follower levels are quite erratic, and he acquired more followers in the 8 days prior to the Euros than he has at the tournament itself.
The diagram below shows these fluctuations, also viewable interactively for Jones and Lindegaard.
Rooney (@WayneRooney)
Some players are special both on, ability-wise, and off, commercially, the pitch. Owing to his ability on the pitch, Wazza’s commercial value off it is huge. With a Twitter following of over 4.3m and an average increase of around 7,000 new followers a day, Wayne Rooney’s voice in the social space carries massive weight and is arguably one of the reasons why he is the highest paid United player by some distance.
Despite not doing a full press conference and playing 0 minutes at the tournament so far, he is the most followed player, as well as having the fastest follower increase rate of any England or United player.
Rooney’s graph shows a gigantic increase of around 76,000 more followers in just 8 days. Only Cristiano Ronaldo can boast a faster growth rate.
Essentially, the more playing time our boys get in Poland/Ukraine the higher their, and ultimately Manchester United’s, presence and influence is.
If only Danny Welbeck had a Twitter account after his winning goal for England on Friday. Watch this space…

Man Utd News 24/7
Good stats Scott, although I don’t think it will affect our players’ footballing skills by being on Twitter
Fuck me …cant you tell its the off season…..
by the way….
HAVE WE SIGNED ANY CUNT YET…..
Waiting for King Eric’s opinion on twatter.
These numbers don’t mean much to me, but I do have a comment about Rio. Don’t know whether he’s being diplomatic, but I was surprised to see him back the England team over twitter after everything that happened. Sometimes he’s too nice for his own good.
Hey, it’s better thread than the boring & ridiculous betting ones IMHO…
@MG @TheRepublkOfMancunia
Flashing light still in right eye, no signs of gamma radiation, no turning into Incredible MG, MG no smash, love REDS
Later!
I honestly do not understand a thing from these stats
Costas
King Eric on twitter? That would be the day, would think hell would freeze over before that happens, same goes for me!!
Oh and I hope you’re still celebrating mate
I don’t know why I envision a future where social media plays a huge role in the political ramifications of developed countries.
we saw it in some fashion with Egypt during the uprising.
it’s great we’ve still got blogs and forums old school type like this
but the Twittersphere and Facebook-dom is clearly the way this generation and the next have chosen. I swear facebook is well on its way to becoming a government. the amount of info they have on their users is staggering
slim
You raise a decent point mate……..Personally I never had any sort of account on the so called networking sites. May be I am old school, I still enjoy actually picking up the phone a speaking to my friends as opposed to leaving comments on their fucking wall!!
Either way its the way of the world now and I can only seeing it get worse……..Its all virtual crap which is slowly or even quickly taking away whatever is left from being personable
Morning reds around the world,
Costas,
Mate, i think Rio’s opinion is genuine..
he will put these personal things below patriotism..after all he is a champion..
The United way!!
Slim and cedars,
agreed on networking sites,
it takes a tad away from being face to face anymore..
That’s the way the generation is heading..it has many advantages for the people with less time and it has too many disadvantages over all…
but in the end nothing can replace being personal, face to face or a get together or reunion etc etc irrespective of multi billion dollar platforms such as facebook or google..
cedars
yup, the way of the world thing is though,social media works. if you’re on it to promote anything you have an intrest in.
I recently joined facebook to generate dome buzz for an app studio a couple of mates and I see trying to get off the ground. but to be honest I cant be added about putting personal stuff on there. too much of a 007 dude to do that. and it’s Sean Connery 007 mind you not the new pansy ass ones
Samuel..
Continuing the debate on healthy grounds,
no doubt Russian are more flair comparatively..
lets have a loot at some numbers here,
Possession – Russia – 68. Greece – 32.
attempts on target – Russia 10. Greece – 2.
Corners – Russia 12 – Greece 5.
NOW,
Yellow Cards – Russia 4 – Greece 2.
Fouls committed – Russia 14 – Greece – 8.
Fouls suffered – Russia 7 – Greece 13.
With all the flair,
in this game,
them Russians were the ones who were playing mud wrestling..
##
Greece may not have the attacking flair as good as other teams,
but that isnt just one part of the game..
If a team has rigid defense and if a world class team with flair cant beat that, always the criticism is aimed at the team with the rigid defense, giving silly reasons such as bus parking, mud wrestling etc etc..
for one, they may not have that many world class players in the team,
for 2, if you are good enough, then your flair should be good enough to beat the shit outta rigid defense..
###
I always fail to understand this,
why is it that the team that parks or team that plays the game on defensive strategy gets the rough treatment or criticism?
Nope, the ability and finishing of the team that has flair should also be equally criticized for being too much wasteful and not taking the chances efficiently and clinically..
That’s what the Russians did, they were too wasteful and Greece defense and goalie were top class, may not be top class with flair and beauty, but top class enough to win a football game and pounce on the wastefulness of the opposition..
cheers
slim
Now you’re singing my tune mate, Sean Connery for me all the way…….Best Bond ever
Sandy
Too right my friend
I have a bad feeling about this Nani deal deadlock..
He is not happy..
dont know why but i feel we are reluctant to extend his stay..
this feeling is situational, might change anytime soon…
and here is a hoping Zeki will stay put..
for god sake? spurs?
Online searches by England fans for hotel rooms and plane seats have more than doubled since the final whistle blew on Friday and fans’ forums have been jammed with people asking for tips on how to get to the match.
that’s WAYNE ROONEY for you…he can do that to football fans
I need more followers too so help me out and follow @AgentOfFergie
Please?
agent of fergie,

@Sandeep
He’s a bigger man than I could be if that’s the case mate. I wouldn’t have made any public comments about the team if I was in his place. Either way, he’s getting a rest now and that’s the main thing.
I would die a happy man if I get to lay my head on Nigella’s breasts, while watching United of course!! ha ha ha
so united are to sign gareth bale an luka modric from tottenham no handinapp has gone…well apparently modric has already agreed to the move so says neill custis and the fact that spurs didnt reply to that says there could be truth there as we all no what levy is like..reference bale i cant for the life of me see this happening i could if nani left however we all no he isnt goin anywere..so to that end its a waste of time even talking about him……over the moon the wee rafa is signing a new contract, think hes a smasher and hes still learning, also think the same for wee fabs..goin to qpr is a great move, he will play every week and its premier league football aswell….fuck baines as evras replacement fergie knows fine rightly that this wee fella is his replacement…the joy of watchin these to in a few years runnin up and down the wing like 2 headers will b a joy with possibly an experienced smalling and jones in there….i home grown back 4 and a young 1 aswell…fergie knows what hes doin alright….
also im really lookin forward to watchin powell play aswell i wreckon we will b seeing more of him tjan the press suggests…..if we dont sign another midfielder which i think would b a mistake then theres no way fergie will send him out on loan, although i dont wreckon he will anyways…like he said if hes good enough the rest will take care of itself….any more news on the pogba situ its went awful quiet regarding him lately..maybe he hasnt made up his mind?also heard that petrucci is to sign a new deal..great news there aswell, i wreckon he would already have made several 1st team appearences if it werent for those really bad injuries
also lewandoski looks the real deal but theres no way we are getting him(although if reports are to be true that we signed the little nino from south america,providing he gets a permit)i think the front line would b ok with rooney,welbeck,chico and him plus kagawa can play the rooney role aswell……only time will tell i guess
No way on earth we will sign or ever be after Bale and for that matter Modric…… At least I hope not
Costas 10:20- morning and congratulations re the match. Still on holiday in Mykonos ?. Paradise beach?.
I’m not surprised by rio’ s support and it correct and appropriate he gives it, both as a pro and personal character.
Why should he not support the bulk of his fellow England players. Apart from Terry , I doubt any of them would not want him picked. As for the players who have been selected in his place. Though they may not be up to his standard they had do sway over the hidden agenda at play here.
He’s livid no doubt . But his issue is with the management not the players. Good example of how to conduct yourself. Unlike cunt Terry .
Cedars – hello mate. Twatter is not for me. Did you read AoF. Latest adventure . Rio’ s JTrap is a side splitter. Terry should be knighted . His contribution to society, allowing the masses to vent their spleen at him rather than rioting on the streets is underestimated. ‘ please rise sir cunt’
Redbilly
AOF is the only other blog I read apart from RoM, funny as fuck is Cyril…………Terry cunt is always good for a laugh
@Redbilly
Hey pal. Thanks a lot. Didn’t expect Greece to reach the quarters, so it’s a nice bonus we have now. Nah, sadly I am no longer on holiday. I was only there for 4 days last week. But I made sure I went to Paradise beach. Best part of the trip.
You’re right about Rio. I judged his reaction by my standards and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have been so supportive. Nice to see that he put his friends in the team and his patriotism above any personal bitterness. I wouldn’t be surprised if he also decided to retire but kept his decision quiet until the Euro is over. I hope he does anyway. Because things won’t get any better for him afterwards.
If I was not born a Lebanese I would have loved being a Greek………..Such a gorgeous country, great people, so hospitable and great islands………..History to die for
Sandeep – Thanks mate, I really appreciate it. Apparently I have to demonstrate a regular readership over six months before some sites will list me, not that they will anyway as I don’t do news and only the occasional ‘serious’ article.
Cedars & Redbilly – Thank you too gentlemen, I appreciate your support. For what it’s worth, the Twitter thing is just so I can update people when there’s a new post, I don’t inundate people with my chatter on it. If you get the e-mail subscription it does the same thing.
Remember people, if you think I’m a moron and shouldn’t be asking for followers on this fine thread, you can register your disapproval on Twitter by following @AgentOfFergie
I think I have the wrong attitude for twitter. I joined it but don’t particularly want any followers. Facebook is cack. Big Brother doesn’t need to watch anymore cos we’re too upfront. Don’t like the way the net is going, wasn’t meant to be this way where you can only connect through a service provider. First telecoms cables were laid and the workers got paid, then laid off. The telecomms companies charged a line rental which we got used to paying. Suddenly the net came along and I could access another computer peer to peer via telecoms cable (but text only at first). So came fibre optic cable (enabling music/videos etc) which the workers laid and got paid for, then laid off. The fucking infrastructure is there and requires little money to maintain but the service providers want us to carry on coughing up extortionate monthly fees. Say i have a pc at my holiday home in Hawaii and I want to grab a file off it using my home pc in the uk, that is my business and fuck all to do with AOL or fucking BT or SKy. But they want to police it so unless I use encryption or pay for a non static ip address etc, they get to know my business. Any news item that involves someone doing wrong online is heavily promoted because it fits that agenda. The people then demand the internet be policed because it is full of terrorists/pedos etc and if you want privacy then you must have something to hide. Facebook is trying to be the internet within the internet and the powers that be like that, hence mr Facefuck’s presence at Bilderberg meetings, (where minutes are not publicly available).
That was somewhat off topic
@ xol – Off topic but some very interesting, valid and spot on points. Especially Bilderberg. Could talk all day about what is wrong with the internet. Especially the Digital Economy Act which will fuck over a lot of people. The internet is slowly being policed and its because of those cunts across the Atlantic who think they can do whatever they want. Megaupload being a prime example.
Can see people’s gripes against social media. For me facebook is the old black book. Twitter is my daily magazine. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. You have to move with the times or you get left behind. I fucking hate the world we live in today, everything is done over the phone, computer and face to face interaction is discouraged.
I’m just glad I got to live in a world that wasn’t PC, got to climb climbing frames that were 7-8ft high,ate chips wrapped in newspaper, saw bank holidays where everything was shut and got to eat the one penny sweet.
Oh well 2012 where its necessitous to tell everyone your business and the mobile phone is now an extra limb especially the ladies.
Cedars- toured Crete a couple of years back on a bike. Fantastic hospitality .
Costas- get you picture taken with the dancing girls
Statement from Juan Sebastian Veron verifying his last game
“Rumbo a mi último partido. Tantos momentos me vienen a mi mente.”
A wonderful footballer. Gods only know why he never made it at United.
I wish him well.
All players retire, I wish him well in everything.
Long may welbeck continue not to have a twitter account
Redbilly
Been to Athens a few times, great place………..Best time though was in Santorini, gorgeous island
Cedars- santorini is stunning apparently . I spend a few weeks in the summer in Porto Heli across from spetses. Love the region .
@Redbilly
No, I didn’t get the chance for that. Too shy, lol. Some of my friends got their picture taken with them and even joined the dancers during their routine. Those girls are wild.
Santorini – Best sun set on earth…….Fucking great memories
Costas- yes it’s a crazy place .
NRD – We’re both now on the blacklist for mentioning Bilderberg! Fuck em. It all sounds like sensationalist conspiracy theories but each year that meeting happens and the media don’t get access. Plus the timing of it. You can imagine the agendas – like, “This is what will happen in Greece, we’ll stage a summit where it will be decided that….” That Digital Economy act you mentioned made my blood boil when I read about it the other day. It’s not just the sinister motives behind it, ie policing the net, it’s also most probably about money where facebook is a one-stop-shop where you can find info on anyone’s favourite food/restaurant/bar/clothing brand/car etc and sell it to a marketing firm for dollar.
NRD has a soft spot for Stoke and their fans, I know that for a fact
Right, let me see if I have this formula correct…………The Germans could lose yet still make it as second in their group (better head to head against Holland and Portugal) So a win for Denmark will knock both Holland and Portugal out regardless of their result
This is interesting shit
Ugh Stoke. How on earth are they still in the top division. Worst fans in the country. Robbie Williams’ town. We should organize a Republik of Mancunia trip to their last game of the season and celebrate every goal that their relegation rivals score and celebrate wildly when they meet their inevitable and long overdue doom.
Oh no, I fucked this up………..If Portugal win then they go through even if Denmark were to win…..
Head to head shit is confusing
I think petrucci has signed a new deal. We cannot afford to lose more players. I f fryers leave I will be gutted. Something is going wrong if fryers also leaves.
Hello Cedars- stoke fans – belligerent racist oat cake munching inbred cunts.
xol – Saw a series a couple of years back with Jesse Ventura (Legend of a man) called Conspiracy Theories and they did Bilderberg as one of the episodes. Obama and Hilary Clinton at the same meeting at the same time and wasn’t even reported around the world. It’s a glorified stone masons club who pretty much control the world because of their status.
Then you have ISP’s blocking piratebay because it hurts copyright. The whole legal system is full of loopholes but when people who aren’t in that profession find those loopholes and exploit them themselves then all fucking hell breaks loose and the powers that be (people with money) turn the screw on the politicians who then pass a law through a washing up process fucking the general public over in the process.
However its perfectly acceptable for the Prime Minister of this country to be pals with the bitch who was responsible for the whole phone tapping scandal. Not much we can do, I just leave it in the hands of the hackers who go round hacking into government and corporate website. Would absolutely love it if someone hacked in and reset all our student loans/taxes to zero.
NRD
Was well worth it just reading your response mate!! Funny as fuck
Davide Petrucci signs 3yr contract [Transfer Rummors]
http://www.calcionews24.com/manchester-united-rinnova-il-giovane-davide-petrucci-243022.html
This would be super news. Lad is class.
NRD – That brings me nicely onto the subject of the F.A and the Government’s efforts (?) to address the fact that they’re inept, shit and biased as fuck. I got this from my local MP the other day:
“Good morning
I write further to previous correspondence about the Government’s poor record on reforming football governance.
As you know, I wrote to the Sports Minister requesting his comments on what action the Government were prepared to take to force the Football Authority to accept supporters’ concerns, and take action on reform of the Football Association itself, toughen up the financial regulation of clubs, implement an independent licensing system and allow fans to have greater involvement in the ownership and running of clubs.
The Minister’s reply is not at all helpful. It does not even acknowledge, let alone address, the concerns raised. I can assure you therefore that I will continue to press the Government on this and will keep you informed of further developments.
Should you have any comments on this, or if I could be of assistance with any other matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
Kate Green”
——
erm yes Kate, a few choice comments spring to mind.
Cedars mate I knew you just wanted to read the word cunt
Funnily enough going there in a couple of weeks but just passing through before the Stone Roses concert.
belligerent racist oat cake munching inbred cunts
Still pissing my self reading that…………..NRD your passion as it were for Stoke and their fans almost rivals mine with leeds
Cedars -How you doing mate. Here is an even more confusing explanation from UEFA:
A run through of the permuations, courtesy of Uefa: Germany are not quite through, but will be as group winners (meaning a match against Greece in Gdansk) if they draw. They will be knocked out, though, if they lose to Denmark by any result other than a one-goal defeat in which Germany score at least two (i.e. they lose 3-2, 4-3, 5-4 etc) and Portugal win.
Denmark will progress with any win. A draw will only be good enough if Portugal lose. If Denmark lose they are out.
Portugal will be through with victory unless Denmark win by a one-goal margin (other than 2-1 and 1-0). They will progress with a draw unless Denmark win. Portugal will also be through if they lose by a one-goal margin and Denmark are also beaten.
The Netherlands must win by a two-goal margin and hope Denmark also lose to finish second and take on the Czech Republic in Warsaw.
BROCMICS – Stoke fans
sandeep – I’ve always said russia didn’t do enough to win the game and they have themselve to blame but let’s be honest, greece’s style is not a positive for football at all and them progressing beyond the quarters will detrimental to the euro. Of course i’m not taking away their victory and do acknowledge their fight but it’s the same old greece that won euro 2004. Surely winning that tournament would have followed by a change in philosophy? but they still are negative and have basic tactics of just fluking a win. If all teams employed greece tactics then a lot of people would rather watch a game of ping-pong.
I don’t accept the ‘we’re just a minnow’ excuse. great football can be played by any team but it requires patience and bravery on the pitch. Russia didn’t do enough and greece just about crawled to a win. All i’m saying is, i hope we’ll see more courage from the greeks one day, i hope they will produce players of great technical qualities, negative football and trying to nick a goal will only get you far.
xol
You just confused the fuck out of me mate……….Doing great by the way…..
@ xol – My old man (Happy Fathers Day Dad) lives opposite a Councillor. I was having a chat with him a while back about this. Not defending the councillors/local MPs or anything as they all could do more but the problem is once you’re elected you’re forced to become a tea sipping, biscuit munching, procrastinating, money wasting yes man/woman to the powers above you.
Why? So they can all do fuck all work and get paid shitloads for it. Its fraudulent, its earning money under false pretenses. However thats the system and unless there’s a revolution (can’t think of a better word) it will never change. Politics is a dirty word because anything goes just so long as you have a soft tone and chagrin smile.
When the riots happened last year I thought, there may be a change because people are fed up of politics, mps and the government in general. It just turned into a propoganda campaign on how the cops have no powers. Fucking bullshit. The cops hands a re tied only when they feel like it and most people in this country fell for it because we’re like to moan and not act. Those who act are often ostracised.
Fucing stupis ass so called educated generation. Giving over all their info to the modern day, Mussillini, Stalin, Franco, Hitler so on. Since 1900 over 100,000,000 geniside by their own or others, Stalin staved some 20,000,000 of his own to sell the wheat they raised to give him $ for guns. Cambodia 30% gone, Africa, Yougoslovia Temore ect. Ect. Fucking the person is smart, people are dumb. To many dumb people.
Keep the masses ignorent and drunk. 78 cable chanles and a 30 pack of Bush Light.
Like Willie I have no shame in admitting that I love the Bee Gees, oh and Abba too!! Piss off!!
Zibbie
Relax pal, we have United to love and furthermore, ignorance is a bliss
Milatary Inteligence developed in WW2 runs the world now. Why are drugs a health problem still delt with a criminal mentality. Black opps the CIA, the NSQ set up the war on drugs to escalate the price to help the Afganastan rebles fight the Russians I got in the early 80′s al this great black hash with red wax Afagan stamps. The cost of weed went from 30$ an ounce to 90$ in 4 years so hash went up to. What the fucks did not understand when weed cost as much as a grame of coke the coolage student drug budget went more to coke. Now in FL 30.million plus people, felons can not vote. A lot of drug fellons in FL Bush beats GORE by 30,000 votes. Some 2 millon felon can not vote who wins if they vote.
speaking of the BeeGees,Robin was in his garden and people in the house could hear voices so asked him who was speaking to him.Oh that’s just the chives talking he said.
Tree OK all better bud.
Who won the war? I mean really, who won the fucking war??? Yanks? The Brits?? Ha ha ha ha
On the topic of United. It is my love for them I got a PC and went on line to learn more of this great game and Great Team!

Just think of Rooney smashing one in from 40 yards………..Makes me feel good thats for sure
Time to hop on the tractor and mow the lawn, the garden to some.

BREAKING NEWS:
It is being reported from Tit4Twatter daily that Nigella loving super agent Cedars has reached an agreement with young prodigy LEEDSONDO. The 18 year old discovery is said to be the next best thing after the concept of sheep shagging came into existence.
The lad is said to be super vocal in the MIDDLE of the FIELD to get all the sheeps in order and is an expert in fucking them over if they go anywhere near a Lebanese residence. Cedars United was looking for a Mid-Field enforcer and he’s said to be an absolute beast as he can fuck 3 sheeps at a time.
What tilted the deal in Cedars United’s favour was super agent Cedars love for the name Leeds and being a staunch supporter he got the lad pinned down to sign a 4 year deal to continue his development under the master, another Cedars favourite, Neil Warnock!
LEEDSONDO was quoted as saying, ” I love sheeps in the MID-FIELD and I can “fill” in the hole as well. I wish to continue my development under Cedars United and shag many more sheeps for years to come.”
@ Cedars – I’d say the Germans and Japanese won the war. Ok they lost but they learnt from it and rebuilt themselves. Especially through industry.
Meanwhile in good old blighty it still comes down to 2 world wars and 1 world cup I’m sad to say. We’re a consumer nation and if we don’t spend everything fucks up.
Prasan
You’re a fucking lunatic mate, great work though!! Glad you have your connection back
This place is a fucking piss take!!
NRD
Not the place to discuss this, but it was the Russians who actually won the war………..Bastards were in Berlin while the Yanks were still liberating France………..Hollywood would have us believe different though
Prasan
Superb.
Zibbie right on the money at 16:11 Wow.
@Cedars
Hello my friend..how is Nigella treating you? Yeah, was a tough task getting that connection fixed. I had spoken with Sandeep to wish him for his birthday and I told him to pass my regards to you and fellow ROM’ers who bear with me and I am glad he did it.
Was great speaking with him, the lad has got a nice weight in his voice which made me ask him whether he is a singer. But, he said he can’t even manage to sing in the bathroom as he’s busy fantasizing about Nigella.
A very good evening to all fellow REDS. Hope you all are doing great.
All I know about Russia is that their football team is fucking shite. Viva Greece!
@ Fred
How are you doing mate? Not with Nigella I hope as the Lebanese daddy would get angry.
I hope you have made a song for our new signing!! Just the kind of player we are looking for isn’t it?
@ Cedars – Growing up was surrounded by people who had served in the military. My version of why the Falklands happened is massively different from whats reported and it was told to me by people involved. How things especially wars are reported and the reality of it all are 2 different things. However the sensitivity of some people its just best to keep quiet and just chuckle to yourself about how deluded these miscreants are. Fucking lemmings.
Prasan
Would die a happy man on her tits mate!!!
Fred
You should read up pal
And, I am switching my allegiance to this football club founded by Costas, KEBABS UNITED!
NRD
I have no affiliations whatsoever, just driven by facts and I hate it when dumb fucks are driven by the lying media
And, I also know for a fact that Zibbie aka cubs aka “Cups” absolutely “hates” Jaap Stam because he likes tall men who are built like an Ox! Not someone like Stam who can’t even shrug off super fast strikers like Emile Heskey!
http://redflagflyinghigh.com/2012/06/lets-hear-it-for-the-boy/10-reasons-why-nani-cannot-be-allowed-to-leave?
Seriously Nani should not leave.
Can’t wait for tonight’s Euro action. If it’s even half as much fun as last night then we’re in for another treat.
I don’t want Nani to leave,with 2 yrs left on his contract and him pushing for a new deal with increased wages,just seems like a money grab to me
Come ON Italy!!!
@Fred
Looking forward to Ronnie showing up tonight? I have this feeling he’ll score a cracker tonight. And, if he doesn’t, well, he can burst it anyways!
Oh wait, thats tomorrow…………Come on err Holland!! Fuck if I care
@ Cedars
Ha..I see you had pasta with sauce spilled over Nigella tits!
@Fred
As it’s the case most summers, I am likely to bump into Karagounis at the beach. Anything you’d like me to say?
@Notorious, xol
Don’t worry guys. I will join you on the Bildeberg black list.
Now that NRD mentioned it, I have to watch that Jesse Ventura show about them.
Prasan – I agree about Cristiano. I can see him and Nani running riot against the Dutch cloggers.
Friends, please welcome the esteemed owner of KEBABS UNITED, Costas STATOM BLAZER!
Ronaldo is utter shit, glad we got rid of him
Germany will beat Denmark 2-1 today and Portugal and Holland will play out a dull 1-1 draw.
Well that’s what I put a £5 on
Scholes, now that is my style of a player………Fucker cannot tackle to save his life
Costas – no specific message, but if you could just beg him to sign for United that would be much appreciated.
Here’s that great moment again, y’all:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xrkp5h_greece-1-0-russia-euro-2012-group-a_sport
@ Costas Send you an invite for a site that has EVERYTHING. Will do it on twitter. Elitests only. lol
Correction:
Inch perfect 40 yard passes, that is our Scholes………….United through and through
@ Papii
I will put a £500000000 on Van Bommel and De Jong putting in a shift and coming up with1000000 kicks in the ribs of the Portuguese!
Also, would put my house on 3 red cards and the cameras showing up a hot dutch chick! 
@Fred
Heh, he really made an impression on you? I thought his antics after the penalty he didn’t get would have been a turn off. Or maybe not.
Do you remember this by the way?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgBJXfrc7Q8
That was in November of 2000. Fergie should have went for him instead of Veron that summer.
@Notorious
Ok mate, I’ll wait for it. Much appreciated.
@ Cedars
You beauty..mentioned my favourite Scholesy! Absolutely love him, a perfect example of how a United player should be. Here is a vid for you mate:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyK-Ome7yUw&feature=related
Cedars – we’ll see who’s shit tonight pal. Ronnie versus Robin. We know how that one ends
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xg46id_6cristiano-ronaldo-free-kick-vs-arsenal_sport
Fred
You know shit mate, Robin dazzles whilst your Ronaldo looks after his hair!!!! ha ha ha ha ha
Costas – his antics? I thought they were hilarious!
Loved the histrionics. That’s the kind of passion I like to see in a footballer.
Prasan
When it comes to Scholes I personally shut the fuck up…………What a fucking legend he is
Robin dazzles? Hahaha! This short clip sums his career up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmy-grHyIG8
@ Costas. You’re email address on your twitter?
Right, it seems Fred and I have issues…………..Let the football do the talking
Robin>>>>. Ronaldo!!! ha ha ha ha
@ Cedars
Absolutely true my friend. He indeed is a true legend for United and for the game in general. You can’t buy class like Paul Scholes even if you are the most talented player in the world!
@ Costas & Fred
I see you are busy with your KEBABONOMICS shit on here. This is a United blog for fuck sake.
http://m.mirror.co.uk/ms/p/tmg/mirror/s2kXVY-Vm5LcId-i6ytuEHw/view.m?id=3554669&cat=Mirror-Football-Top&guid=http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/robin-van-persie-transfer-arsenal-887140
Costas – that free kick was something special (albeit helped by Barthez rushing from his line.) You never lose that kind of ability, and I think those deadball skills are one of the main reasons Fergie will be having a serious look at the veteran as we speak.
Cedars – hahaha, I fully expect Nani to steal the show.
http://www.facebook.com/CedarsproposesRobinVanPersie.overhotmeal (Overhotmeal = short form for html)
And, Cedars was saying he’s not on these social networking sites.
RVP, now thats what I am talking about…………Fucker will come good and hammer a brace…..Portuguese football my ass
Prasan
True
The last time portugal and holland played I think in 2006 or 2008, there was 16 yellow cards and 4 red cards or something like that cannot remember if there was more….
hilarious shit, there was player sent off and booked every 5 minutes,
Over hot meal
Come ON Holland……….
Bildeberg is run by David Bernstein, Richard Scudamore and Sheikh Mansour.
If Cristiano is sufficiently shiny tonight, Portugal will win. If he has not put on enough moisturiser then Team Sneijder will win.
It’s all about the confidence
Here it is….portugal vs neverland….so many fouls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wALiyDM_Nk
Fred
Ha ha ha ha………..Your Ronnie is more concerned with his hair style mate…………
Sit back and watch me RVP rape them to shreds
@Papii
Neverland…hahahahaha
It’s going to be an absolute circus i guess. Was it in the same game that Deco after being sent off was having a chat with another Dutch player whose name escapes me at the moment? Wonder what he would be discussing…the babes probably!
Come ON Holland, Come ON Holland
Look at these two great Reds – Red to the core.
http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbgxiu16sw1qc5rbx.jpg
Makes me proud to be, well, Red!
Papii and Prasan – LOL that game is coming back to me now. What an absolute farce. Deco was chatting with Van Bronckhorst, his Barcelona teammate at the time.
Prasan
that was it ! They sat down and had a chat
Holland still have 9 players from 06 still in their squad that was present during the game while Portugal only have 2 players since 06 around now 6 years on !.
I sense a angry holland team today….out for revengence
Buggers the lot of you
Love Holland but since they are going to fuck up Amsterdam for non-nationals. Come on Portugal Viva Ronaldo.
Ronaldo>RVP.
Sneijder>Modric.
From the banks of the River Irwell
To the shores of Sicily,
We will fight, fight, fight for United
Till we win the Football League!
It’s a great day to be Red.
Nani > Ronaldo > Sneijder > Van Persie
Lads, Portugal/Holland in 06 was phenomenal. The quality of that World Cup was so horrible, that the most exciting match was the UFC exhibition between those 2. Lovely move by Ronnie for their goal too.
Lets hope for more wrestling tonight!
@Prasan
What? We are always on topic aren’t we?
@Fred
Yep, good at free kicks and like I said yesterday, does a lot of running all over the pitch. Here’s the kicker though. He’s a diver. He’s probably the master at it. Watch him closely everytime someone challenges him. Fergie will have to convince him to cut it out at the twilight of his career.
Michael Owen: still clean and fresh.
Pulis sign him up.
Master of diving? This just gets better and better. Fergie sign him up!
RVP >>>> Fuck off
@ Costas – Best off searching it through a search engine. Jesse Ventura Conspiracy Theories. Season 2. Piratebay has it if that isn’t blocked in Greece.
My face when we don’t sign Karagounis:
http://www.neolaia.gr/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/KaragounisFace.gif
Jesse Ventura, top red. “SIGN KARAGOUNIS, MONSOON!”
Jesse at his best, for all you wrestling heads.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0WhkYgQxvg
Hello all U cunts who take Yoga so you someday, can suck your own cock!
Van Bronkhorst it indeed was..thanks for reminding Fred!
@ Costas
Ofcourse, we are always on topic, can’t you see we are discussing the legendary conversation between a Portuguese twat and Van Bonkerhorst after being sent off from the WWE Royal Rumble?
NRD & xol – top reds who are wide awake to the global conspiracy. Gotta love it. Death to the New World Order!
Damn, Fred’s crush on my compatriot is even worse than Cedars’s on RVP.
@Notorious
Thanks for the info mate. Pirate Bay isn’t blocked here, so I will track it down over there. I remember WWE plugging his show, but typically, I forgot to tune in.
@Fred
*Fred* Dibiase > Jesse Ventura
Everybody has a price wahahahaha!
Looking back on it now, I believe I was around 42. That when I sneezed or coughed hard, I had to consintrate and clamp down my sphinktor to prevent anle leakage. How old were U?
Jimmy The Supper Fly Snucka > them all!
From what I know of Jesse’s Conspiracy Theory show, his info is spot on but it’s presented in kind of a hokey way. Still, the info is the most important thing, so anything that gets it out there is good news. I think I heard that the plug has been pulled on the third series despite the fact that it got the best ratings in the history of the channel that screens it stateside. Fuckin’ Illuminati cunts.
Rowdy Rodney Pipper. What a talk show host!
Zibbie, I reckon you could take the Super Fly. Make him tap
Fred the Karagounis>>> Papa Shango>>>> Jeff Jarrett >>> The Rock>>> Stone Cold Steve Austin!
Papa Shango ha ha ha ha ha
He went on to be the Godfather. Wanna take a ride on the Hooooooo train?
And his brother was the Boogeyman, which is the same gimmick as Papa Shango…
I’m showing too much knowledge of wrestling trivia now
Cyril Strootman in the house!
Rooney after his playing days are over. He will go into Pro Wresteling!
Roddy Piper uncovered the conspiracy long before Jesse Ventura:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBY6pF42I-c
@ Cyril
How about X-PAC aka 123 KID or Chyna or Paul Bearer or Andre the Giant?
Zibbie – he’ll have to tread carefully; that transition didn’t work out too well for Jose Mourinho…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOcVqCmap5g
I wonder who was a worse drinker. Cedars or Andre the Giant.
@ Fred – No mate 3rd series is definitely happening. As with all documentary style shows has to be glamourised somewhat so the average guy can watch it but like you said the facts are what matter and its a valid alternative viewpoint in contrast through the mundane regurgitated waffle we’re usually used to.
I think it was the show to do with Police State the whole Big Brother thing that was pulled. Surprise Surprise. Only adds fuel to the fire.
Anyway.
Ultimate Warrior>Than Them ALL!!!!!
@Prasan
And that’s a United related topic of course, lol. Ah, wrestling and football. My 2 favorite hobbies.
Other than Jenna Jameson movies of course.
I for one loved Val Venus and his “HELLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO LADDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEESSSS”!!!
Okay, time for the unholy marriage of Maaan-chester Yoo-nited and WWE “Divas”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI2jpMGaa5E
Spoiler: we win!
@Prasan – 123 Kid ha ha, he was such a weedy little guy!
Notorious – ah, okay. Thanks for the info.
@ Costas
And, I am with you on those 3 hobbies as well, I’ll add a 4th one, jerking off thinking of Jenna the Masseuse then?
Mr. Sneer I would walk out too the center circle shake his hand and BOOM IT WOULD BE ON! I was areal good ameture and high school age wrestler. 192 VS 7 loses evenging 4 of them beating them multipal times. My mentor lived down the street Mike MaCreddy was a silver medleist in the world games 2 xks google him. He ate me up for fun. John Kreebs cross town guy goes to UNI place 4 years at the NCAA’s he would hurt me. For the rest of the best I have a punchers chance. I meet meaner tougher mother fuckerd them him.
two absolutely stunning matches today,germany is sure to win their match.they seem to be on fire(As expected).For me thought he main match is the portugal vs netherlands though.Great teams and great attacking football philosophy!I hope nani is on fire today as he’s united obviously and also the fast that that hes’s insanely fast and very good technically and has been faring better than ronaldo in this tournament!
My predictions Germany cruising through and portugal just about edging the dutch to win the match!
1-2-3 Kid, dear oh dear, a real drugged up fuck who made a porn film with “the man beast” Chyna. That’s actually her line of work now, I believe.
The Kliq < anyone who is not a member of The Kliq
Cunting cunt bollocks
Fred – haha. Saw that for the first time only recently. Think it came out around the same time as the thing. Strange film with zero budget (wonder why?) but considering it was made in the 80s, there are a lot of parallels with today.
gaurav12931 – I completely agree with everything you wrote! Nani’s time is NOW.
Zibbie – For what it’s worth, I would bet on you.
You have to talk smack to them first, it’s no fun without talking smack
@ Cyril
He was as fat as Peter Crouch is and as tall as the midget in the American pie!
Was a part of D-Generation X wasn’t he? I must say he had biceps to rival Triple HHH!!! Speaking of triple HHH, I can’t help but stop thinking of a certain Stacy Kiebler! Heard she’s dating George Clooney these days!
Costas….you seen Jenna Jameson lately….fuck me fella…. she is rough as a badgers arse now… had way too much botox and plastic
Us guys love vidio games for a reason. We all have buildt in JOY STICKS! I havethis local pharmesit who has been staring in my Joy Stick time as of late.
I fisted Jenna Jameson once….not saying her cunt was big…. but I am sure some fucker was shaking my hand……
http://www.soccer-wallpapers.net/soccer_wallpaper/the_best_players_in_the_world_fifa.jpg
Força Portugal!
I agree with my mate TonyBee, Jenna is way too heavy on the tattoos and surgery these days.
@Prasan – Ahh Stacy…. The world is better with Stacy Kiebler in it.
“Man beast” Chyna.
Bret Hart > The Kliq.
@Prasan
Yep, although I prefer Janine loves Jenna actually.
@TonyBee
Yeah true mate. Although she’s still very young, she’s messed up her looks. Not trying to sound biased or anything, but everything went downhill for her after she retired from making porn movies.
Mr Sneer and Kebab, in Sacromento in a business complex I was working in had a pro wrestling school. At 30 out of shape I went to Bulldogs school for like 12 weeks to get in shape. I hurniated 2 disks 6 weeks in. Wow the ring is a trampeling modified. The stunts beat the fuck out of U. Some real tough pian pill hard liqour traveling beast!
Someone linked a video of Kagawa at a press conference speaking for the first time about his United move. I liked what he said. Maybe it’s something gained in translation but I think he’s got a great attitude and judging by his words, he seems a perfect player for us. He said he spent some time considering all the offers and came to the conclusion that the challenge of joining Manchester United was something he relished and could not ignore. Also said he’ll need to work harder than ever before AND will prepare thoroughly because the club deserves nothing less.
2 good games is right!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads of RoM.
xol – can’t find the video but nice words again from Kagawa. This young man seems to be a very high quality individual indeed.
@ Costas
Better get some “bats” in the house then mate!
I just searched the screens for that flick and found that it had 1wardrobe master and 2 wardrobe assistants for that movie. I wonder what are they supposed to do in a movie where clothes hardly matter or do they? 
Cheers Fred!
Fergie sign him up… oh wait…

Fred – You’re a Karagooner!
Evening fuck faces!
TonyBee – that’s fucking funny!! Just watched escape to victory! Never realised before but John Wark had to be disappointed. They decided to play with 10 men when Pele came off and he was sat on the bench?!
ahh my good friend Cyril the Sneer….writer of the funniest piss take blog on the net…..
a Fellow of the ‘Terry the Cunt’ School of Literacy….
please fellows if you can pass on the news with regard to the Agent of Fergie blog….

Come ON Robin my Van Persie
Mikey Mike the Monley
How was the wedding mate??
TonyBee – I’ll try to keep going mate but, for what it’s worth, I already have my John Terry box set featuring all his appearances and press conferences. A bargain from your local petrol station.
Ronnie says “Cum” on Robin Ban Persie!
Porn legend Jenna Jameson, 34, gave birth Monday to two healthy boys. Doctors delivered the twins at 11:23 & 11:34………
Doctors also delivered a rubber fist a compilation of cock rings, a dozen ping pong balls, and an Asian midget.
@ Mike
How are you my Illustrated friend? My best wishes for the wedding.
How was the photoshoot in the bluemoon pyjamas btw? I heard the Glazers shifted their plan for the IPO to the U.S after hearing the news that you are going to do an illustrated photoshoot in those esteemed pyjamas!
TonyBee
Ha ha ha ha ha
CUM on Robin Van Persie….fucking hell Cedars thats taking hero worship a bit far…..you know…. throwing some Lebanese bollock yoghurt on him…… PERVERT…
Cedars me old mucker! Good mate, absolutely wasted. Me and my bro almost got turfed out cos he tried to rob a bottle if bucks fizz and gin from behind the bar. Had a boat race, Mancs vs Essex boys, wasted them!! Quality do!
Cyril – here’s that Rio goal again with the greatest commentary ever

You’re a nut case mate, funny as fuck may I add!!
Goooooooooooooal Riiiiio! Rio! Rio! Na na na!, na na na!, es un goal de Rio, na na na, na na na!
Nice one Fred, that’s made my day
@ Cyril
Hahahahahaha…I’d rather have 123 Kid to save me than that A-grade cheating, crying whining shameful cunt!
@ Tonybee
Cedars does not know any limits in love. He’s a loyal kind you see! Still, me and Fred think Ronnie and Nani would shit on him tonight!
Here you go, originally posted by mufcjord a few threads back. Shinji speaks:
http://oldtraffordfaithful.com/video-shinji-kagawa-interview/
Oops..I meant shit on Ban Persie not Cedars!
Prasan
How do fella. Cheers for the well wishes. The photo shoot got binned as I was spotted wearing gingham check and the shit hit the fan! Shit everywhere. I hear city have sold all their season cards. Is it just coincidence that over 15,000 of the fans are called S.Mansour????
@ Mike
Hahahahaha….you should check the number. That must be 150000 mate…but ohh wait..have Shitty got that many supporters?
But, I am worried about how our debt would be paid off now that your photoshoot is cancelled.
xol – thanks for the Shinji link. I think he’s dreamy!
Come ON you Orange fucking beauties
Prasan
Cheers pal. Photo shoot got binned, I was seen wearing gingham check and the shit hit the fan. Shit everywhere. I see city sold out their season cards. Is it a coincidence that over 15,000 of them are called S.Mansour????!!
Come on Portugal! One more decent game from Contrao and I’ll be saying sign him.
Sneijder touched one of our players! OMGOMGOMG!
GOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLL VAN DER VAART
Come ON Holland, Come ON Holland …………Fuck yes
Cheaper than Bebe, ladies and gentlemen. Cheaper than Bebe.
Cedars – it’s not over yet… we’re still fighting for this title!
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/12/22/article-2077632-0F41F49000000578-609_468x364.jpg
Ronnieeeeeeeeeeeee agoninsingly close!
Postigaaaaaaaaaaaaa noooooooooooooooooooo
Once upon a time………….Holland = Total football
Mereilesssssssssssss gah!
Fred
Where the fuck did you dig out that from?? Class
OMFG shoot, man, shoot!
Podolskiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii bags for Germany.
Dig what? The picture of Keegan?
Ronaldooooooo with a nice header! So close!
Great match, cmon nani……
George – spot on! End to end stuff!
Denmark equalise!
Please don’t let denmark go through….the sight of bentner is only so much a person can take….
RONALDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Viva ronaldo!
Nani so close! Hahaha I’m loving this!
This is cunting dog bollocks
Ronaldo on fire today…just need a nani goal now.
united.george
Ronaldo is a bag of shit tonight mate
Portugal are imperious atm.
Bag of shit
Bag of bollocks!! ha ha ha ha
Bag of Ban Pursey!!!
This is absolute shambles by the Dutch
Ban Pursey
He hasn’t had a sniff!
That said, he showed against Germany that he only needs one chance. Portugal playing very well though.
Nani’s ball control is great and his crosses have been good to watch….Portugal playing some very exciting football.
@ Fred
As we thought, Nani and Ronnie seem to be up for this one. Running riot are they?
Fred
No need to get personal mate!!
Cedars –
Prasan & George – spot on, lads. Spot on.
Just seeing replays of VDV’s goal, what a strike that was.
@ Cedars
I see why you support the dutch, they have “Nigella De Bong” playing for them!
united.george
Which match are you watching pal? Portugal exciting?
Prasan
You dick, spot on I suppose!!
I really miss Meireles’ “homeless man” haircut….
If Nani gets a little more of the ball in the second half portugal will surely win this game, he’s had the beating of Jetro and is playing so sumptuous crosses and I think he’ll score too:)
ITV’s trio of Keane, Vieira and Martinez knocks stripes off the BBC’s boring pundits.
mike kelly- the reason wark never got on when they went down to 10 men is because subs weren’t allowed then
@ United.george
Meireles “homeless man” haircut…hahahaha…had me in splits that one! How much did those scouse cunts pay for that “tattoo factory” cunt?
cedars – has been good for Portugal compared to the other matches, all the wing play, nani to ronaldo crosses….dutch have been quieter than usual. Maybe they will wake up in the 2nd half.
nani4ever – I really hope so.
I predict a Van Persie hat rick this second half!! What????
George – they need to wake up, you’re right – maybe they’ve been on the smoke…
Wow, Portuguese MILF pushing her huge bust towards the camera. Shades of Nigella there.
I predict Van Persie would shit 3 times and miss 3 sitters this second half!
Ronnie should have buried that one.
Moutinho trying to emulate Emile Heskey there!
LOL Prasan – and succeeding!
Ronaldo had his hair touched up a bit at halftime. He is too much sometimes….
Buggers the lot of you ………….
Vlaar misses a big chance for the Dutch.
Seriously though, this match is shit!!
As shit as this game is, the banter on here is funny as fuck
You guys do realise that there is a new thread lol?
Bill, via text: “Would love to see Nani leave the Premier League. Hate players who try and get other players sent off.”
Texted into the BBC by some ABU bastard, but they still had to publish it, didn’t they?
Jethro williams!
Pratyush – yeah, but the new thread is for Danny Boy. Makes more sense to keep the Portugal-Holland chat on this thread imo.
Here comes that Nelly Oliveira guy again, “the Portuguese Cantona” someone on here said he was!
Fuck me sideways Van Persie has been shit, or should I say Holland have been shit??
Wow, what a fantastic run by Ronaldo and a good save by the Dutch keeper from Coentrao. Corner to Portugal…
I think portugal have found that striker they much needed in Nelson Olivera
Cedars – hahaha, take your pick!
Only joking mate, I think it’s definitely the latter.
nani4ever – I hope you’re right.
Custodio comes on. What a name!
Nani misses a sitter!
Nani? How?
@ Cedars
You mean Arsenal have been shit
RONALDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nani with the assist!
So happy for our boys.
Nani, no worries, just keep crossing!
More Nani=More Goals for Portugal
Well done Portugal………Just feel sorry for them Dutch babes, wish I was there to comfort them!!
Ronaldo and nani > snow white and the huntelaar.
One more from Denmark and Germany are out.
Germany score. Lars BENDER with the goal.
Costas – crazy isn’t it?! A moot point now, however.
I meant 2 more from Denmark and Germany are out.
Wow, Van Der Vaart with another great effort, hits the post.
LOL Costas
But football is just a game no?
Cedars – that it is, my friend.
@Fred
Story of my life mate. I spoke too soon.
I have to admit. Would have been nice if we avoided the Germany/Greece clash. It’s not the outcome, but the endless debt jokes I am going to hear until then…
But it is what it is.
LOL Nani, my word.
Nani going off..
Nani has earned his ovation with that great pass for the winning goal.
RVP, though you’ve been quite shit lately, I still love you!!!
Holland deserve to lose for not playing Strootman.
Strootman = win.
LOL Cedars.
Holland unquestionably the biggest flops of this tournament. Played 3, lost 3. Dear oh dear.
Is there any excuse not to renew Nani’s contract? If he’s asking for 130 per week as it’s rumored, I’d say he deserves it?
@Cedars
We all have our off days. I am sure RVP will be back in flying form for Shitty next season.
Costas – he most certainly deserves it. We’d be crazy to let him go.
We did it, guys. We did it.
That’s another 10 million off Sneijder’s price… Buy him Fergie!
Commiserations to Cedars.
Well done Portugal and well done Nani
Costas
Thats below the belt mate
From world cup finalists to Euro flops within 2 years. Holland doing their best France imitation.
Started off pretty well today. For a minute I believed they could pull it off. But Nani and Ron’s quality was too much.
@Fred
And with out decision to start negotiations only when the player is in the final year of his contract, things could get messy next season. We should tie him down while we can. As good as Antonio and Young may be, they don’t offer that something extra that he does.
Fuck I lost a fucking fiver….i bet it would be 2-1 Germans and a 1-1 draw for portugyal
fucking Wonaldo had to score
Gill: Hey Sneijder, wanna play for United?
Wes: Sure! Just gimme 300k a week and I’m yours.
Gill: Piss off, we’ll give you 30k on a pay as you play deal.
Wes: But I’m a big star! I won the Champions League!
Gill: Yeah? What you won lately bitch?
Wes: Oh… well… ermm…
Gill: Exactly. Face it dude, you fail.
Wes: But… Alright I admit it.
Gill: Fuckin’ right.
Wes: *sigh* Where do I sign?
@Cyril
Give him one more mediocre season and Sneijder will pay to join UNited. And that’s when the Glazers will do business.
Coatas @ your last point about nani is spot on, and. If that 130,000 figure is quoted right he deserves it, to me in flight he brings that rare world class touch B-)
Costas – Yay! He’ll only be 30/31, we can get a good 6 months out of him before he decides to end his career back in Holland.
RoM: Fuck Ronaldo. he’s shit.
*Ronaldo scores two
Madrid: Manchester, Would You Like Him Back?
RoM: Hell Yeah, Fucking Right
Now that Holland are out of the Euros. I’ve come on here to state a few things.
What an overrated donkey that Van Persie is. Missed bucket loads of chances. Considering all the hype surrounding him he’s done next to fuck all at these Euros. Waste of space and finished at this level as a striker.
Huntelaar>Van Persie
@ Costas – The club should have Nani’s contracted sorted before the end of 2012. It should be done now. I have no solid proof of this but I do think when it comes to contract negotiations the club does try to low ball some of our top players. Thats why I think some of our negotiations go on far too long. He’s been one of the better players of the tournament we should tie him down. Give him a 4-5 year deal now that takes him to about 30. Then we can fuck about with the “waiting till final year of contract” philosophy.
I’ve always felt van Persie was over rated. He didn’t even show up in this tournament.
@NotoriousRedDevil: Not sure I agree on Huntelaar. He didn’t show up this tournament either. He had, what, one shot today?
@Cyril
Or hopefully Kagawa will make us forget all about him.
@nani4ever
And it’s not like his demands will drop after the tournament he’s had so far. I know we want to protect our wage structure, but it’s also a matter of comparison. Nani’s wages shouldn’t be significantly lower than Hazard or Silva’s when he’s just as good. In my opinion anyway.
@Notorious
I often get the same impression. Obviously we shouldn’t give in to every demand a player makes, but looking at how the Brown and Rooney contract renewals got in 08 and 10, you get the impression that our club plays hard ball at the slightest demand a player might make.
