Valencia scored our opening goal in our vital 2-0 victory over Blackburn this week and celebrated wildly, something very out of character for our Ecuadorian. He later dedicated his goal to Dragan Miranovic who gave Valencia his big break when he was at El Nacional at the start of his career, who sadly died of a heart attack.
“Dragan, this goal is for you, thanks for your advice and your teaching,” he said. “How sad to learn of the death of Dragan, the distance you send my condolences to his family and friends, sad day for football. Tonight is very sad for me by the death of Dragan, the person who gave me continuity in football and for his great advice.”
Valencia was given his nickname, Tono Maravilla, which means ‘The Marvel Tono’, by Orlando Narvaez, another coach at El Nacional. This was the coach who also gave former Birmingham striker Christian Benitez his nickname ‘Chucho’.
A t-shirt for Valencia, who has been one of our most important players this season, has now been added to the Mancunia Merchandise. In April, the profits from this shirt will go to The Christie.
The t-shirts are available for £8.70 ($13.40) although because they have to be shipped from America, the p&p takes the overall price to around £17 for deliveries to Europe (more on p&p). The shop ships to: UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Mexico, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, China, Australia, New Zealand, Korea and Japan.

I was just looking at valencia’s stats from this prem season and they are excellent.
played 16(4) — goals 4 — assists 13
In a table of combined goals and assists this puts valencia 10th behind van persie, rooney, adebayor, aguero, bale, silva, ba, dempsey and dzeko.
Considering valencia has played less games this is an amazing.
David silva who would be many peoples choice for p.o.t.y. has a similar record but has played more games.
played 30(3) — goals 5 — assists 14
In conclusion, valencia is da man!!!!!
Anyone up for a good laugh?

redhound, that is gas!!
“Three years of excuses and it’s still crap…ta-ra Fergie.” was displayed at Old Trafford, and many journalists and supporters called for Ferguson to be sacked. Ferguson later described December 1989 as “the darkest period he had ever suffered in the game”, as United ended the decade just outside the relegation zone.
We all need a reality check once in a while to remind us of where Fergie has dragged the club from. Especially in a year where underachievement in Europe may cause some immature opinions.
Winning Things in Transition is only done by the very best.

Somebody has spiked their blue ketchup. This is the team that have been awarded most pens in the Prem. Who managed to beat spurs by a last min pen by a player who should have een sent off. Who salvaged a point at Stoke having gotten away with a pen and a red card from Barry. A team who won the FA Cup due to the fact their ex chairman and fan made up a rule which banned our best player for their semi final!! Deluded?!? Fucking big time!!

Morning pal, just saw the email, still pissing myself,who ever made that is a genius…. The picture of the Donkey in the background is classic.
Mikekelly, you couldnt make this shit up, they are actually looking foward for some Sheikh Mansour subsidiary to buy the Premier League rights so the tide can shift to them. Some of their conspiracies are so outlandish you would think it was a red trying to wind them up.
Sheikhy Baby will give Wankini 500M in the summer on the condition that the bitters win another cup in 5 years, otherwise he will show him the door and walk out on the club

Morning pal. Yeah, but whoever went to all that effort spelt Carroll wrong! Not get everyone else’s email so pass it on will ya.
Redhound
My mate (blue) emailed this morning. Said we were a laughing stock in Europe and the reason we are leading the league but were shit in Europe is that domestic refs favour us where as continental refs don’t! Needless to say I sent him some stats and then asked why continental refs had favoured us over the last 4 years as that is surely the only wY we got to 3 finals?! And why the sudden change this year! Not heard back from him !!
Mike
Did not notice the spelling mistake, the picture just had all my attention ha ha
Will pass it on to a few
Not going to dwell on the matter but taking advantage of someone’s death is not cool.
RedHound, Pete Molley who did the banner is a pal of ours. He is a top lad and still gets the mickey taken out of him for that banner to this very day
Redhound- been in blue moon the last hour , Fucking better than the comedy store .
Barca
