United To Get Proper Allocation At Anfield

After receiving reduced allocation at Anfield for the league game, reports today suggest that United will get a proper allocation of around 6,000 for our FA Cup game against Liverpool at the end of this month.

“We have taken into account the improvement of the Manchester United supporters at the most recent Premier League fixture relating to the blocking of gangways and aisles,” said Stephen Clare, Liverpool City Council’s principal licensing officer. “Liverpool FC will be responsible for determining the actual numbers that this will result in.”

It is expected we’ll get the bottom tier of the Anfield Road stand, holding just under 6,400, but two seats at the end of each row, around 300, will not be sold.

    Some sort of peace offering from l’pool to abate the racism talks??

  2. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Outstanding news. United Away support at Antfields should be out of this world.

    ComeOnUREDS.
    United!

    PS. Shout out to all the traveling support to keep their heads and mind the stewards. Allocations are in serious jeopardy because of fire marshal rules. It does affect our team in a positive way when we get our full allocations, so lets do the team proud and make sure we continue to get our full block of tickets.

  3. smartalex says:

    So that means the other 300 seats are black-balled?

    All that’s happening here is they’re fucking us over less than last time. It’s still wrong. If their stewards can’t do their job, why are we compromised? Why not give us the top tier as well, and keep 10 (or whatever) aisle seats open? Liverpool fans should be the ones to suffer their incompetence, not United fans.

    I suppose this means I won’t get a ticket.

  4. akanemo says:

    good post fletch. Although i’d probably never make it to old trafford game, forget away fixtures, id be pissed if they were fewer tickets

  5. zelh says:

    btw. that has been tweeted by ravel a few mins ago:

    “Only top I would wear for a mess about is Barca our united :D

    puts the poor rumours to bed.

  6. Costas says:

    We are coming. :D

    Paper cups full of piss and shit being thrown then, love those best fans in the world.

  10. mattbw7 says:

    Hey Smart Alex, are you back in the UK?

  11. Red Nation says:

    Video of Sir Alex joining in with the Young-Nani Skills showdown….hilarious

  12. Marc says:

    Smartalex, it happens a lot at games everywhere that 300 seats are unavailable if it’ll be rowdy. Stewards not doin their job properly? I think they’ll be a little outnumbered, it’s a bit ignorant. Plus, usually away fans at Anfield get half the bottom tier so you should be great full, we only had a small part of old Trafford last season, at the end of the day it’s an away game mate

  13. FletchTHEMAN says:

    zehl. Cheers mate, beat me to the post.

    Can’t honestly stand the abuse Ravel gets for what amounts to rumors and innuendo. Crickey, the lad is under enough pressure as it is. Let him have a bit of a youth for crying out loud!

    @akanemo, cheers as well. I completely agree. Traveling support is absolutely the bomb. OT has become some quite due to rules, over stimulated stewards and increased prices. Heard that the average age at OT went from 21 15years ago to sommat like 44 now. So it is a better place to take your wee ones, granted, but we do suffer for the singing for the EPL fixtures.

  14. FletchTHEMAN says:

    **quiet** …… sheeh the typos!

  15. Leivapool says:

    I hope everyone enjoys the game. United getting over 6000 tickets is far better than Citeh gave. I did find it strange that Liverpool council cut the allocation at the league game, especially as we never sit down for away games either. But that as they say is history. Unfortunately, with that many supporters, I fear it will not be trouble free.

  16. smartalex says:

    mattbw7 – Hello my friend! Glad to see you back here on RoM occasionally!

    No, I’m not back there. I was being ironic, and a little idiotic. No such luck.

    Still, it’s warm here, and beautiful beach’s are a few minutes walk.

  17. AlphaRS says:

    We all know that Evra is gonna get yet more racial abuse and this time it’ll be from the Klanfield crowd.

  18. CedarsDevil says:

    Evening all

    “We have taken into account the improvement of the Manchester United supporters at the most recent Premier League fixture relating to the blocking of gangways and aisles,”

    Really? How on earth is that determined? Piss off you deluded scouse dipper.

    United fans = Best away support in the league

  19. mattbw7 says:

    Marc you cock, you only get the southeast corner at UTD for PL games cos the entitlement is 5% of capacity whereas you’re entitled to 15% for cup games (though you only get just over 11% but there’s a reason for that too)

  20. mattbw7 says:

    And were in the world are you Alex, BTW I’ve just come back from spending xmas in Florida, nice and sunny.

  21. smartalex says:

    Marc – thanks for your polite reply. Seriously, you being a dipper that was special!

    Outnumbered you say? That is for LFC to consider. How they set up the stadium to house all the supporters is not our concern. Give us our allotment. You say that it happens elsewhere. So does daylight robbery, another of your favourite pastimes. Doesn’t make it right.

    Can we reduce your already-small allotment at Old Trafford accordingly, cutting 5% off?

  22. It's in my blood says:

    Hey guys,

    In years gone by we have often had to contend with bags filled with piss and shit thrown down onto us from the top tier at Klanfield.
    Thats before all this latest bad blood.
    They wonder why ‘theres still an issue with fans congregating at the back of the lower stand”?
    As smartalex rightly said, it just means they are ripping us off slightly less than previously and so we should be grateful?
    This is bullshit.
    Reduction in allocation to allow for extra policing should not come solely from our all side.
    Why do we never respond to any of these clubs cutting our allocation frequently by reciprocating at OT?

  23. It's in my blood says:

    mattbw7

    Hi, long time no speak!
    Hope you’re well, you beat me to it re the piss n shit!

  24. WillieRedNut says:

    Fuck it? Me and Cedars will go ninja style! Red Army coming at ya!!

  25. smartalex says:

    mattbw7 – I’m on the East coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal, in South Africa. I can’t see any houses from my place, even when I’m up on the roof. I get the occasional passer-by, but not so much. Surrounded by bush, fair bit of wildlife, a nearby nature reseve, and the beaches are a protected conservancy. A tranquil paradise, far from the madding crowd. Ten km North or South of me are busy holiday resort beaches, so I do get to socialise a bit!

    Florida was good, I’m sure! Did you take the family?

  26. CedarsDevil says:

    It’s in my blood

    Evening pal, first of thanks for the regular mentions. Loving this Klu Klux Klanfied thing, James in fact text me it a few days ago whilst I was away.

    Klanfield is strangely enough one of the few grounds I never visited. Went to the sheep shaggers a couple of times and had a torrid experience, vile freaks the lot of them

  27. James21 says:

    Its in my blood
    Hi mate.
    I agree Utd should cut Shitty and Liverpools allocation, they stand all through the game when we are being bullied by wanker Stewards to sit down. Sounds like I’ll not be bothering applying can’t put up with that. Dirty scouse lowlives.

  28. CedarsDevil says:

    Willie!

    You bugger, frigging missed you pal. James mentioned your Cedric comment, cracked me up.

    Ninja style eh? I like it

  29. mattbw7 says:

    Yeah family holiday Alex, the whole Disney thing, which to be honest I wasn’t looking forward too but it was ace.

    Hi It’sinmyblood, lets not forget them attacking Smiths ambulance as it tried to leave the ground.

  30. Pitt says:

    Trust me you dont want to go to anfield for the cup match. I have a feeling the league match will be behind closed doors

  31. It's in my blood says:

    Cedars

    Hello mate, good to have you back!
    You were missed, James was going into withdrawal methinks but he got his fix by being able to text you!
    In some respects you’ve missed nothing by not having been to Klanfield.
    The extra expense replacing your stereo and hub caps on top of the travelling costs takes away some of the joy of seeing our beloved lads giving it the scousers!
    (Anti scouser, in recognition of your point note the non capital since mate!)

  32. WillieRedNut says:

    Cedars – I was gonna say, we could wreck the place. It’s wrecked already! I never called you Cedric mate. Honest…. ;)

  33. It's in my blood says:

    James21

    Hi mate,
    Yes, any piss and shit raining down on you is bad enough, but, having been expelled from between the buttocks of a rat munching drug dealing scouser……..well…ugh.

    Back in a bit, doorbell!

  34. GazHughes says:

    Pretty simple really due to last year’s 3rd round tie that was in reverse. Utd gave LFC 8975 tickets from their 75,811 capacity, which works out at 11.8% of capacity. LFC’s capacity is 45,276 so 11.8% of that is 5342. That is what Utd should get (assuming that those 5342 supporters can be safely housed and segregated in the Anfield Road stand).

  35. WillieRedNut says:

    Matt – Hello mate? Did ya get a peak up Mini Mouse’s skirt? Florida is some spot! Hot than Mars!

  36. James21 says:

    It’s in my blood
    :D
    I have to rod drains and unblock toilets but I’m ready for it and get paid. Scousers belong in a Zoo although that would make the other animals appear very intelligent indeed.

    Ciders (Shandy Man)
    Hi mate, you get your arse over and I’ll apply for a ticket, you can have it with pleasure.

  37. CedarsDevil says:

    It’s in my blood

    Haha, cracking stuff. I bet a certain someone would happily sponsor the renaming of analfield to KKK?

    Willie

    Now now, be honest! haha

  38. WillieRedNut says:

    James – Now mate, that’s harsh on animals. The poor little creatures don’t deserve that! :)

  39. smartalex says:

    I’ve not been to DisneyWorld, Florida, or the States. Sad.

    A score of European countries, half a dozen African countries, and Oz before I lost interest in what other people were doing. I’ll start traveling again, I expect. Only God knows!
    Perhaps Madrid!

  40. CedarsDevil says:

    James

    Cheers pal, I know you say it with great intentions, however the mere fact of having to sit at the East stand again does not go down well with me, after all I am not going there to relax and read a book! hahaha

  41. James21 says:

    Ciders
    I mean’t Klanfield, FA Cup.

  42. Utd4life says:

    Get in!!!! We have THE best away support in the land. I salute them.

  43. mattbw7 says:

    Ha no willie, but I gotta tell ya them disney princess’ are easy on the eye :)

  44. CedarsDevil says:

    James

    Oh I see haha…. Will be too soon for me pal, won’t be able to make it before March. I still enjoyed my dig at the East stand though!

  45. kieran says:

    depeche mode are gonna start claiming royalties after this one!!!

  46. WillieRedNut says:

    No United fan going to that dump, will be going in blind. I know, I wouldn’t anyway.

  47. James21 says:

    Ciders
    You’re always picking arguements. :D East>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Stretty
    I qualify because I bought a Crystal Palace Carling cup ticket. Just have no desire to go to that ‘Blame everyone else but us’, self glorified shit hole, it was bad enough walking past it going to Everton.

  53. Zibbie says:

    James his peers thinks he is one of the worlds best as we do!!!!!
    Great for SAF being honored!!! He seems to have handled Rooney’s demons again. I hope so. I liked the airplane shot of the 2 of them.

  54. CedarsDevil says:

    Zibbie

    Hello my good friend! Thanks for the mentions my friend…..

    Wonder what the odds are on Rooney banging the winner at Klanfield then kissing the badge in front of the kopshit? I would love it.

    James

    Now now pal, its a losing battle, I know you have Giggs12 on your side but that counts for nothing

  55. Marc says:

    Mattbw7-cock? What for? It was a polite message I wrote, so why that sort of reply?. I cant stand keyboard warriors, I’d rather argue face to face. Gobshite. Also Smartalex, cheers for the reply, I’m from St Helen’s an most of my mates are Manc fans. So I have the sort of relationship that Liverpool fans and evertonians have with each other. As for what you wrote, I don’t understand these ‘other reasons’ you were talking about. I can’t be arsed with an argument either or even a debate I didn’t come on here for that, an it’s getting a bit boring. Enjoy the game anyway.

  56. Zibbie says:

    Tony he has been in a snowy mountain cabin with no TV or internet. I assume drinking and smoking and living large.

  57. CedarsDevil says:

    Pitt

    Care to enlighten us on that comment? Please?

    Thanks

    EPLFAN nice. A young Danny. Cool.

    TonyBee

    Hahaha on both posts! Fucking brilliant and yes I am a lucky bastard, it was amazing!

  70. James21 says:

    Marc
    You had the whole 2nd Tier including the usual southeast corner. The FA give special permission to slightly lower the away Cup game allocation because of the capacity and obvious reasons of safety including recommendations from GMP. Your fans never sat down once, threw missiles throughout and smashed up the toilets so you do alright out of it whereas theres any excuse to cut our allocation. Thats no dig just pointing out a Raffa Fact!

  71. Wilmslow Dave says:

    Just heard that in a gesture of goodwill Liverpool will allow United to weear our familiar RED whilst the lovely scousers will wear White shirts, white shorts and socks and white pointed hoods…

  72. WillieRedNut says:

    Health insurance? :lol:

  73. Mikekelly12 says:

    The home end has been officially renamed the KKKipax. Was unveiled by Suarez this morning. The only reason these cunts are giving us more seats is to get more cash for all the court cases they’re gonna have to pay for. We know they don’t get much cash from thier home allocation cos the cunts either rob each others or use forgeries!!

  74. Zibbie says:

    Wow to be young dumb and full of cum, all drunk and walking into the Kop as a Man Udt fan. how fun, a mosh pit. the taste of my own blood awakes a beast….. wow how fun.

  75. CedarsDevil says:

    Willie

    Seems like a kopshite to me, coming here and giving it large on a blog. Rat munching cunt if you ask me

    I had a read through RAWK tonight. Was willing to set aside my instict to label every poster a twat and actually see what was being said first.

    Conclusion: wall to wall twats.

    They are going to boo patrice evra if/when he plays, not because they are racist but because they insist that he is a liar. Perhaps this was to be expected but honestly there is not a brain cell between them to realise what a bad idea it is.

    A number of them also going on and on about the FA favouring united and how referees will help us even though we have consequtively drawn our biggest rivals away. You just cannot make it up how idiotic and misguided these clowns are.

    I met a fairy today who granted me one wish. “I want to live forever,” I said.
    “Sorry,” said the fairy, “I’m not allowed to grant wishes like that.”
    “Fine,” I said, “I want to die when Liverpool win the premier league.”
    “You crafty cunt!” said the fairy.

  94. StatesideAussie says:

    SmartAlex back at 19:12 … exactly. I would have thought the seats at the end of the rows would have been easiest for the stewards to control. I mean, they’re right there!

  95. CedarsDevil says:

    Just google Faraya lebanon and look up the pictures, that would give you an initial idea! More details available upon request of course!

  112. Costas says:

    Cleverley updated his injury status on twitter:

    Cedars

    Wow!
    Just like being back in Chorlton eh?!
    Looks an amazing place and if the women are remotely like the one i just saw in a little black thong….let me tell you, i wouldn’t get off her for a week!
    ( Any ladies on here, apologies in advance)

  114. CedarsDevil says:

    Pissing of to bed…. Great to be back posting and special greeting to OffsideAussie !

    Laters fellas

  115. It's in my blood says:

    StatesideAussie

    Haha, i missed the opp for that one, OffsideAussie is pretty spot on for your situation just now!

  116. It's in my blood says:

    Cedars, James, Offside, WRN, all, see ya, i’m doing likewise.

  117. Rai says:

    Costas – anyone would think you didn’t trust the medical staff :)

  118. StatesideAussie says:

    It’s In My Blood … yeah, it’s a good one. I’m going to stick with Stateside for now for the sake of continuity (just had a long discussion on another thread about that) but OffsideAussie is the best contender yet. Eat your heart out, SmartAlex (who has spared no effort and none of his considerable wit on conjuring up an alternative)!

  119. WillieRedNut says:

    It’s in my blood – Don’t be having an accident thinking about that thong? ;)

  120. WillieRedNut says:

    Name changing doesn’t go down too well on this blog. Ask Costas! :)

  121. It's in my blood says:

    WRN

    Damn…feel like i’ve been caught red handed…aw…not the same now!

  122. Costas says:

    Nah, everyone other than Sachu loved 2013 willie. ;) What a twisted fuck. He was posting as voice of the voiceless and he was taking shots at 2012 for ruining the blog with his posts. And 2012 was him. :lol:

    @Rai

    Oh I have complete faith in them. :lol: But this might not be their fault. Tom’s absence and the way he’s coming back is starting to make me believe even more that he had ankle surgery last fall. We were probably never told because that came as a result of rushing him back against Everton.

  123. It's in my blood says:

    StatesideAussie

    Ha, please don’t say anymore, you may make me incur the wrath of smartalex!
    Hell hath no fury like a smartalex (suggestion) scorned.

    Tony Park of WrittenOffsides has some great stats up on twitter showing the consistent quality of United FA Youth Cup teams

    A few quotes from his recent tweets (appologies if there are some typos):
    Figures are thought correct figures so figures correct as of 10/1/11.

    mrmujac Mr. Mujac
    #mufc have produced 203 first team players making 17,796 appearances with 87 internationals winning 2,360 full caps!

    #mufc have had 26 youth players represent England making 722 full international appearances…how does that compare to others?

    85 youth players have gone on to represent their countries making a total of2,314 full international appearances for 15 different countries…

    STAT: 202 youth players have featured in in the #mufc first team making over 17,500 appearances with 85 internationals…

    @Costas, Love your conspiracy theories mate.
    United has Carrington = M l 6 has Fort Mocn?kton or whatever ;) Cheers.

    How many players is beetroot cunt allowed to tap up? Ba, remy, samba and cahill all in one interview with sky. Fucking mouthpiece. Oh dear lads if spurs beat Everton they will be level on points and the media would have us all believe they will go on to win the title. If they do I will streak on the OT pitch last game of season. Fucking idiots.

    Mancini’s reaction to Kompany’s four-match ban being upheld by the FA:

    “In 30 years I’ve never seen a sending off for a tackle like this,” Mancini said.

    “Last week I also saw three or four players in the Premier League do tackles worse than Vincent and the ref did nothing, no yellow card, nothing. If there was danger, Nani probably would have said something, especially to the referee. He didn’t say anything.”

    “He (Rooney) did this. Nani was there, he said nothing Vincent played the ball,” Mancini said.

    The Italian himself was criticised for appealing for a card during City’s win over Liverpool last week. “Yeah, I did it. Everyone said apologise as in England we don’t do this, so I apologised. In England, refs make incredible calls. Sometimes they send off for nothing. I don’t understand.”

    Smarty,

    Last 4-7 days have been making Mancini say something which he hasnt been so far,

    that means one thing, The Sir Alex mind games are working and no one can cope with it now..

    The time has come, we will see them go down infront of us..

    especially after we signed a new player in central midfield :P

  143. smartalex says:

    Sandy! Morning pal! All good here, how about at your end?

    Agreed! Mancini has thrown so many wobblies for what is a relatively minor issue, that it is clear he has another agenda: deflecting criticism away from himself. He’s incompetent, and weak.

  144. smartalex says:

    Manchester United could soon have a new neighbour – a supporters’ club and hotel decked out in team colours. Plans have been submitted to Trafford council for a 10-storey building including a 139-bed hotel at the junction of Sir Matt Busby Way and Wharfside Way.

    The development is a joint venture between former United star Gary Neville and the Old Trafford Supporters Club with the former player financing the project with money raised from his testimonial in May.

    On this day in 1957 a star was born, went on to become a leader of men, defying the laws of physics and medicine. Kept coming back from one serious injury after the other, literally spilt his guts and blood for the cause and gave the term ‘captain & leader’ a whole new meaning probably never to be matched again. God given talent as a player and a proper gentleman.

    Harry Rednapp seems above the law. Keeps chugging along ,telling everyone who he like to sign.

    Reminds of lverpool paying a bribe to spurs after rafa benitez did the same thing over robbie keane/
    A bribe not to report them to the FA.

  154. TeeJ says:

    Tweet from Rio this morning….

    “Certain kids need their heads banging, they don’t see what they got within reach, if only they FOCUSED 100%. Fix up, Make it count”

    Chances of that being about Ravel/ Pogba???

  155. Dave Malaysia says:

    Daniel Taylor had a peice in the Guardian about mankini.
    He basically says what Fergie is to us , is what mankini is to city.

    I seriously doubt that Daniel understands the difference between Fergie and mankini otherwise he wud not have gone there.

    But this happens all the time, some manager does well, good for them, credit to them but then the media start comparing how the manager is like Fergie.
    Maybe its a backhand compliment.

    According to daniel, mankini has the ability to have power and influence on his team even as a junior player, even prepared for fist fights to protect his corner. To the extent he had influence on owners and transfers.
    So basically he is a powerful and smart man.

    Well I am not going to argue with that, I dont have knowledge of this man and his early days.

    What I can say however is the track record we all know of. Inter milan.
    There he collected a huge array of star players, so much so Inter cud feild 2 teams in any competition and win.
    Inter paid a lot of money for this adventure.Wonder how much accounts for inters current debt levels.

    Becos of the match fixing scandals that decimated italian top football clubs except Inter, who seemd innocent till after mankini left ,where they too were stripped of one Scudetto.
    Strong Inter win few Scuddetos with mankini while the other top clubs are struglling to rebuild after the scandal.
    Well u can only play whats in front of u,so kudos to inter.

    mankini does not have the track record of developing young players ,building a winning team for the champions league despite a huge budget.
    It took mourinho to come in and tweeking the team to achive what mankini cud not.
    Speaks volumes does it not?

    Now he is at it again,millions spent, still demanding more players, the Financial Rules are preventing shitty from just spending at the moment, and this guy dosent get it.
    How many more players do u need ,how many more millions more to spend?

    And the best part is this, FINALLY shitty spending is curtailed , but even that wont be enough to help them comply with the Financial Rules.

    They have found a loophole by having thier companies turn sponsor and beleiving no one will dare take action against them for exploiting this loophole.

    Conclusion,if the worst case scenario hits the fan,well shitty are in trouble. Expect some dinars to change hands to get them off.

    mankini is nowhere near Fergie and will never be.

  156. Dave Malaysia says:

    So tonight Everton celebrating with joy and happiness.

    and livers celebrating over shitty.

  157. CedarsDevil says:

    All I can hope for from tonight’s match is further controversy and a few laughs.

  164. CedarsDevil says:

    If there is any truth to all this speculation going round on Morrison and Pogba then it saddens me. These kids do not realize how good they have it being at the biggest club in the world. I am sure its all bad advice coming through from their agents.

    I remember in years gone by where blood sucking agents did not exist you have have the young player’s father as the adviser.

    Sad state of affairs really

  165. gaz says:

    @Dave Malaysia

    Ol contorto face Redknapp has always been a dodgy prick reminds me of that car dealer guy who always would rob the shit from your arse if he got a chance!

  167. sheppertonni says:

    Agree with Cedars – Why do they even need agents at there stage of development? They think there first teamers already. It is sad! Cant the boss or a senior player talk to there parents or doesnt it work like that.
    Was thinking if by miracle the whole squad was fit what would peoples match team and bench be?
    Mine would be a cavalier tactic

  169. Saad says:

    @Cedars

    These kids probably think they’re good enough to start for United but they don’t realize they’re not mature enough to be top-flight players. You need emotional intelligence in order to succeed in your career. SAF knows that and wants them hone their skills and grow up a bit more before throwing them into the first team. But players dont give a shite about maturity, not when they have their agents whispering delusions of grandeur into their ears.

    It’s an upside down world we live in.

  170. CedarsDevil says:

    Do folks know how we got Giggs? Was simple, the boss went round to his parents house, had a cup of tea and convinced them that the lad should cross over from the bitters to United. Easy, one house call, deal done.

    Saad

    Too right pal, these deluded kids have bigger egos these days than Mount Everest.

  171. King Eric says:

    Morning lads.

    What you doing Ravel lad? Sort it out son. As for Pogba don’t think there is any problem with him actually. Whenever he is interviewed he is very happy at United and wants to be a great. Seems settles to me. Morrison is up to summat. Aint even featured in reserves for time. Its bullshit though that Barca will be after him. They will probably have not heard of him seeing as though they have a good enough academy of their own.

    Dave. Hello pal. Redknapp the beetroot faced cunt is a disgrace. Like I said last night in one interview he tapped up Ba, Remy, Cahill and fucking Samba. Fucking two bob mouthy cunt.

    Hello Cedars my friend. Hope you are well.

    Hello smartalex sandeep etc etc.

    Happy Birthday Robbo. Boyhood idol. New balance boots and shirt just untucked at front when played for my local team.

  172. CedarsDevil says:

    Another reason (if one was needed) to love Scholes and Neville? They never had agents

  173. gaz says:

    Are we not jumping the gun here a bit on Pogba? The Official line i recall from the boy was that he wanted to learn his trade at OT and under the greatest manager of all time Sir Alex Ferguson? Things are different in modern day football to years gone by with the Internet and Social Network sites bullshit flys around more often then birds in the sky!! Pogba recently declared he wanted to become a United legend and i have no reason not to take the lads word for it!

    Morrison may be a bit of a different story but again a lot of crap flys around about this lad some of it admittingly his own doing but i trust the boss with this one and lets give them a break let them mature and we might have 2 vital cogs in another 10 years of fantastic glory!

  174. james says:

    Way I see it, Liverpool are a bunch of c**ts. Man Utd have not put a foot wrong in this ‘row’ we shouldn’t have to publicly put an end to anything.

    FUCK THEM

    Lotion. Basket

  175. kanchelskis says:

    What we may be missing in all of this is the (relative) imminence of Fergie’s retirement, and how that will effect the thinking of our youth players (or their agents).

    If you believe Fergie when he says he’s got maximum 3 more years in him, and you also buy the argument – which many do – that Utd’s squad isn’t as good as others’ and it’s only Fergie’s nous that’s keeping us challenging year on year, and you ALSO buy the argument that Glazernomics has stifled our ability to buy big, then you begin to see more logical reasons for their second thoughts about new contracts. It becomes not just about money, but also about the potential for trophies.

    Of course, I don’t buy all of the above arguments, but it would certainly be in their agents’ interests to make them believe them, if they thought a bigger payday was in the offing elsewhere…

  176. CedarsDevil says:

    King Eric

    Doing great pal, cheers! Loved your rant on the bitters from the other thread, top drawer. As for Townsend, well you of all people know how I feel about the sad twat! Fucking cunt

  178. Costas says:

    I am not on the inside, so I don’t know why the Pogba and Morrison situations are getting messy. But in my opinion, times have changed and it takes more than just the allure and the tradition of this club to keep anyone at United. Especially with the money that other clubs are throwing around.

  179. samuel - united WE stand says:

    Costas – it’s all paper talk to unsettle united, i don’t believe any crap on the tabloid these days.

  180. Costas says:

    @samuel

    That could be true. Especially in Morrison’s case. I don’t think some journos realize when his contract actually expires.

  181. samuel - united WE stand says:

    Costas – exactly. of course both of them signing new contracts would put an end to all these rumblings, i get tired of any contract sagas and damn, united have had a few in the past years.

  182. wayne says:

    Because of the high cost of doing buisness in the transfer market more and more clubs are realising the value of young talent,just stands to reason their value is going to go up.
    If it’s true the wages Pogba wants is 45k a week,540k a year,give him 5 yrs years to deveolp into a quality player 2.7mill in wages 300k to Utd a 3mill investment instead of splashing 20-30mill in the transfer market,good buisness.If he doesn’t cut it not much of a loss
    The amount of compensation the club recieves for the player should be increased to reflect the transfer market,it would cut down on quality talent being poached cheap.
    Utd must also realise this,with all the time and money invested just can’t see Utd letting talent slip thru for a few mill.

  183. Jeet says:

    @wayne: the problem is one of precedent, same as it was with ambitiongate. Once you go down that road, every bastard starts asking for more, and very soon, bang goes the club’s financial model of keeping wages down to 46% (?) of turnover.

  184. Lebomanc says:

  185. WillieRedNut says:

    Sadly, Costas is right. Players are easily seduced by fame and riches. A Blonde bimbo on the arm. The big fancy car. I remember Keano talking about this at Sunderland. When he went for certain players, the first thing they mentioned was money. Keane tells the story, when he was on the brink of signing for Blackburn. Fergie phones him and says, have you signed for them yet? He tells Fergie, no. Keane goes to talk to the great man and the rest is history. One thing that always stuck with me. Keane said that the thing impressed him the most, is that Fergie didn’t mention money. As Keano said back in the day, Blackburn, or Manchester United? No brainer.

  186. WillieRedNut says:

    Happy birthday Robbo! :)

  187. wayne says:

    Jeet it’s not dissimilar Utd made a statement with Rooney to fuck City off,can’t have clubs poaching Utds top talent for 300k.Utd takes shots at 5-6mill signings all the time,if these lads are as good as most think why let them walk when it’ll cost 3mill over 5yrs to keep them.
    If both are exceptional talents puts them in a different category to most players,in the end it’ll come down to how much Sir Alex and the club values them

  188. gaz says:

    i dont think there is any truth in claims these young Players want that much money per week. I feel that they have to earn a contract as a Manchester United player and as such Sir Alex is making them sweat to see how much they really want to make it.I then believe a suitable contract will be offered and as we all no if you have a good season an improved deal is never far away

  189. Briggsy says:

    As the claims are in the Sun I doubt they are true. Plus where does he (Morrison) think he will get a better deal? And I seriously don’t believe a player would leave United just for money unless for another top club and what would that gain them. A few extra a week and stuck in the reserves of their team. Seems pointless.

    As we’re talking about Morrison, it does annoy me when there’s talk of why Fergie doesn’t play them, because of the injuries we have, as it’s obviously not the right time of them. Do people believe that if we had a player of high quality in the reserves that the manager wouldn’t put him in regardless of age.

    From the Aldershot, Leeds and Palace games it’s obvious that these players are ready yet.

  190. Robbo says:

    Briggsy

    Spot on! If they showed anything special in those games I am sure they would have featured somewhere in the last few games. From the little I have seen of them, I can see why SAF doesnt think they are ready.

    King Eric

    I too played with my shirt out in front, Soxs down over my shin pads and also wore #7. My team wore red shirts, white shorts and blue socks (I did wear my Utd socks underneath)

    Bryan Robson is my all time favourite play (just ahead of Georgie). As I mentioned on a previous thread, I was going to call my first born Bryan Robson, but decided on Michelle Lee, as she wasnt a boy.

    I only been to England once (1984), and to Old Trafford 3 times. How lucky was I that one of those games was the return leg v Barcelona. The Bryan Robson show in full flight. I still get goosebumps just thinking about that night.

    King Eric, were you there?

    Happy Birthday Robbo, my hero, my legend, my king.

  191. parryheid says:

    Where do folks get the idea Pogba and Morrison are special talents?Through watching their performances in the Reserve league maybe or because some say they are.The reserve league is extremely poor quality and no way to judge any players likely ability to succeed.in United’s first team.Loan them out and see how they perform against seasoned pro’s on a weekly basis the old sink or swim method.You may find they are nothing like as good as the hype would portray them.I’ve seen nothing special in either.

  192. kanchelskis says:

    Jeeeesus Christ peanut-head. Just drop it. Accept that you went in two-footed and that, agree with it or not, it’s a red card by the standards that exist, and which you were all told about at the start of the season.

    Players have been sent off for far less (Rodwell vs Dippers) and not made this much fuss. Ham-fisted attempts to generate siege mentality at Wastelands.

    @kanchelskis

    LOL! What a cockend!!

    rumours that SIlva has a broken foot.
    but I bet it’s bullshit.

  195. kanchelskis says:

    @zelh

    Even if it were true, it would only represent a fraction of balancing out the number and length of injuries we’ve had this season.

  196. zelh says:

    the last thing I heard about morrisons contract talks were that they have gone smoothly so far.
    That was 3 days ago and I trust that person.

  197. parryheid says:

    Nobody find it odd that our manager once said of a player with special talent it’s like watching a spaniel chasing a bit of paper,yet no such remarks about any current up and comers.

  198. gaz says:

    have to laugh at Mankini complaining about squad size christ what a knob!! he was the one who fell out with Bellamy/Adebayor why not keep these players happy because you know your gonna need them!
    Tevez is a cunt anyway ill give him that but he knew about the CAF surely! youd never hear SAF complain that he cant “fill his bench” pathetic poor management really in my opionion….HES CRACKING UP MANKINI IS CRACKING UP!!

  199. Briggsy says:

    Actually just read that Morrisons contract doesn’t run out till 2014

  200. wayne says:

    parryhied alot of posters who watch the reserves rate these lads as top quality,that’s all i can go on.Obviously the reserve league is not the quality of the prem but it is the stepping stone,If these lads are proving to be a cut above the rest,what more can they do?
    If both are having contract issues it’s unlikely they’ll be loaned out maybe after the contracts have been settled

  201. kanchelskis says:

    @wayne @parryheid

    You also have to factor in the psychological element of playing at a certain level and what it does to your performances. How many times do you see lower league teams playing out of their skins against ‘giants’ in cup competitions, and how many times do you see ‘giants’ underperform in the same matches?

    It’s the same with the reserves and first team. Playing against – and indeed alongside – players of a higher quality will only raise players’ performances. Because of this I don’t think it’s entirely watertight logic to use the lesser quality of the reserves league as justification for doubting a player’s talent. I do of course agree that the very little we’ve seen of these players in the firs tteam this season hasn’t exactly set the pulses racing, but then they’ve never been given 90 mins.

    Either way, it’s clear Fergie has a plan – one which doesn’t involve them getting their chance this season. If we’ve won (or lost) the league with a few games to spare and top 4 guaranteed, expect a few runouts in the last few weekends, but I think apart from that he’s decided to stick with what we’ve got this season.

  202. WillieRedNut says:

    Not to sound like a dastardly cunt, but i hope the Silva story is true.

  203. kanchelskis says:

    @WillieRedNut

    Lol. Don’t think that’s too dastardly. Meaning from a purely pragmatic viewpoint of course, rather than wishing injury or misfortune on your fellow man. I think he’d take it as a compliment!

  204. Utd4life says:

    Why is Vincent Kompany whining so much? You would expect your captain to show a bit more maturity and class. Just let it go, Kompany.

    Hello King Eric, hope you and your family is well my friend…

    Read that Morrison talks are stalled? dont how much true and how much media shit..

    can somebody tell me is it true that he has stalled the talks?

    also read that we are interested in Ba :) ha ha ha :)

  207. Sandeep1878 says:

    Kompany

    I thought English football was supposed to be hard? Kompany expresses fears over red card frenzy in Premier League

    fuck u, the league is still hard but not reckless

  208. WillieRedNut says:

    Kanchelskis – You got my thinking lol. I’m sure city weren’t shedding any tears when Vidic got injured. Just returning the serve! For the record though, Silva is a top player.

  209. slim says:

    kanchelskis

    Thats exactly it, i’m referring to your post on 14:26. That shameful club and all its followers trying to get “everybody is against us” movement going. its truly disgusting. Funny thing is watching their fans going along with it, i thought they were happy, go lucky type that everyone fell in love with. the cracks are slowly showing, must be shit scared that after all that’s said and done there’s a real possibility they could end the season empty handed.

  210. gaz says:

    so Roasted Peanut Head still doesnt fucking get it!! 2 footed tackles of any kind with studs up are not allowed in the game jesus christ!! he was informed of this in the beggining of the season like every other pro! what in this can he not get his think head around? hopefully the FA can give him another ban for not accepting his guilt?there good and making up rules for us why not the bitters??Maybe he is thinking like Micah Richards and in his head it was allowed!

  211. kanchelskis says:

    @gaz

    Roasted peanut head! Hahaha! Wonder what we’ll be calling him by the end of the season.

  212. WillieRedNut says:

    James21 – Your birthday today, mate? If it is, have a good one! :)

  213. gaz says:

    @kanchelskis

    Your guess is as good as mine mate!! but im sure there will some great iventions come out when the bitters come out with laughable statements like the last one! it really is comedy gold at times from that lot!

  214. Costas says:

    There’s another example of a red card being shown just for the intention of a challenge. When Scholes saw red at Anfield for attempting to punch Alonso. Did he connect? Not even close. But he was sent off for this intention. Vieira saw a 2nd yellow at OT for attempting to kick Van Nistelrooy even though he made no contact. Kompany, Mancini and co don’t get it. Or they don’t want to.

  215. kanchelskis says:

    @Costas

    Thing is, ‘intent’ doesn’t actually come into it. Kompany’s not a dirty player, and I doubt he was actually intending to hurt Nani. He’s also of sufficient quality as a player to go in two-footed and most of the time avoid hurtining his opponent.

    BUT, it’s still reckless. Even if he’s going for the ball with the most honest of intentions, sitting down with both your legs out in front of you (especially in wet conditions) means you literally have NO way of stopping or slowing down. That is, in this context, the very definition of reckless.

    I think where we agree is that the outcome cannot be allowed to define the seriousness of the challenge. Take Broadfoot on Valencia. If that was judged on the outcome, Broadfoot would’ve been banned for weeks, but in reality it was an innocuous foul, not even worthy of a yellow. Nani was lucky enough to get out of the way, which helped Kompany to win the ball cleanly. But nothing about that changes the fact he was reckless.

  216. samuel - united WE stand says:

    Spaniel chasing a paper – yeah, like Fergie uses the same phrase for every player he has at the club (either brought through the youth or bought) to declare his admiration for their talents.

  217. Costas says:

    Yeah kanchelskis, maybe intent is the wrong word in Kompany’s case. Although one could argue that by diving in the way he did, Kompany doesn’t particulary care what kind of contact he makes. So maybe he didn’t set out to hurt Nani. He just didn’t care if he did. Unless he was 100% confident that he was going to get the ball. But like you said, under those circumstances, hoiw could he be sure?

    Imo, this also evens out some travesties we saw last year. Like Carragher’s challenge on Nani and De Jong’s (a City player’s) on Ben Arfa. None of which saw red.

  218. kanchelskis says:

    @Costas

    Yeh, you’re right. Even if he thinks he can make it, he can’t be sure. It’s essentially a deriliction of the duty of care towards your fellow professional. That’s why the FA frown on it.

  219. berbatough says:

    anybody fancy getting me a ticket?

  220. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Cheers all!

    Costas and Kanchelskis
    Kompany is being praised for a statement he made today in the Mail and others saying it was an “articulate argument” that the british game will loose its hard character. But I find it passing strange that he dosen’t seem to ever apologize/acknowledge for going in 2 footed and thus did give the ref a decision to make. Essentially this leaves me with the sense that he just doesn’t get it. He and MCFC are basically seen as arguing that it wasn’t a two foot challenge and that Foy got it wrong. That just doesnt wash with the facts, but will obviously keep MCFC’s saintly position in the sound bites long after the facts.

    He would get more credit for me if he admitted that it was two footed & could have endangered player. From there he could acknowledge that the game is changing and the implementation of FIFA rules is a challenge for all sides. We all want quick talented players in the game. They tend not to last long with byzantine ideas of fairplay.

    This is really what we have been talking about for a month. Is Suarez a racist or is he just using fair banter to upset an opposing player. Is Kompany making a fair full blooded English tackle, or is he endangering the player. Both opposing clubs seem to want to debate this on terms that make them look good, but the reality is that they both should just accept that others don’t agree and there is a place for more updated rules.

    Robson turned 55 today…. Hope all is well with you.

    Robbo (The poster)

    Great handle pal, I was there that night as was our friend Mikekelly

  222. Lebomanc says:

    Cedarsdevil

    He’s not as old as I thought he would be… And ya everything’s fine btw why didn’t you post for a long time where have you been?

  223. dela says:

    Evening RoM.

    I started following United when the Fledgelings era had just begun, so I never got to see Robson in action. Even so, the ‘Robbo>Keane’ brigade (*cough* Cedars *cough*) took every chance they got to drill the point home.

    Happy birthday sir.

  224. WillieRedNut says:

    lebomanc – He was getting his eyebrows waxed. Brazillian style!

  225. Lebomanc says:

    Willierednut

    Hahaha

  226. Mikekelly12 says:

    Lebomanc
    He was getting his ass kicked at the bar by a lass!!
    Happy Birthday Bryan. Legend 7

  227. Utd4life says:

    We are scheduled to play the dippers on Jan 28th at 12.45. Why is every Utd-L’pool match held so early??

  228. FletchTHEMAN says:

    LFC v MUFC at 12:45 Sat Jan28.
    Early kick off as expected for FACup tie with Liverpool.
    United offered the expected 6000 away seats.

  229. slim says:

    The keane twins share the same birthday with Legend Robbo. Those 2 are going to be immense. Not because of the birthday stuff(but you never know). Will is a tasty looking striker, local lads too.

  230. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Utd4life Cheers mate, didn’t see your post. The early kick offs are often at the request of police as it is seen as a help in controlling crowd problems. There is less drinking before the game and more chance that fans will go home as opposed to hanging around after. It won’t be at the advice of the TV sponsors as they get higher viewing for late kick offs.

  231. WillieRedNut says:

    Utd4life – Are really asking that question? The earlier the kickoff, the less chance for fans to get plastered. Less chance of trouble. That’s the theory, the police have. Doesn’t always work out like that though.

  232. Mikekelly12 says:

    Utd4life
    So the fans don’t get too pickled in the boozer!
    Mercenaries v The Dippers tonight. Let’s hope they kick 7 cans of shit out of each other. Let’s see a two footed challenge from Skrtl on Silva and see how the jokers react. Fucking cunt whips!

  233. Jigpig says:

    So Oldham with an average crowd of 4500 get 6000 tickets and us with an average crowd of over 75000 also get 6000 tickets…..how does that work?

  234. Lebomanc says:

    Mikekelly12

    Haha, I now expect loads of rumors to be spread on what cedars was doing by the time he wasn’t posting

  235. Utd4life says:

    FletchTHEMAN.. Thanks for the info mate. Appreciate it. I wonder if SAF will play Evra that day??

  236. Utd4life says:

    Willie- I was just curious as to why every Utd-L’pool match was held so early. I thought it had something to do with tradition or something.

  237. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Jigpig Hahaha. FACup rules require the home team to offer 15% of available seats. That is 6,400 give or take at Antfields. Local council and police have option to cut or add depending on various issues. United have been cut horribly for many games because of perceived problems with the fans, like standing in aisles and failure to heed requests from stewards. We actually expected less than 6000 but the liverpool council took the rare step of praising the behavior of our away support at the last match. It is very important that we keep up the good rep as a full contingent of away supporters is vital to the team.

  238. Utd4life says:

    Jigpig- Thats how the scousers do their Math mate. Besides I think 6000 of us will easily outsing the whole lot of them. We have THE best away support in the land.

  239. Mikekelly12 says:

    Jigpig
    Has nothing to do with the travelling fans, it’s a percentage of the average home gate. 10% I think??
    Lebomanc
    Were you on the other night? We were all ripping him to shreds. Lebonon-alcoholic Ciders!!!

  240. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Utd4life. Cheers lad. Evra hmmmm would be a treat that. Some poster suggested we give the entirety of our lighter skinned outfield lads the day off. We would still have a great looking team. Rainbow United.

  241. WillieRedNut says:

    Utd4life – United, Liverpool games are hectic for the police to manage. Even if nothing happens inside the ground, you can sure it will be kicking off outside the ground. They hate us. We hate them. I hate their fans with a passion! Scummy cunts. They ripped up the seats last season’s fa cup game.

  242. Lebomanc says:

    Mikekelly12

    No I wasn’t, must have been funny… Was he on?

  243. James21 says:

    Willie
    Cheers mate. Its true. I share my big Day with Robbo, I was always proud of that.

    Lebomanc
    Wasn’t you who drank Ciders Drinker under the table was it. :D

  244. soren says:

    Cedars Welcome back.
    Lebomanc Mike is telling the truth.
    Chico still learning the game i am sure he will come good sooner or later

  245. Utd4life says:

    Fletch- LOL. But seriously, I would not play Evra that day in front of those despicable, classless bunch of twats. In my opinion, Evra gets easily riled up and might do something stupid which could hurt the team. However, not playing him would also send a different message that we are easily intimidated or scared. What does everyone else think?

  246. Utd4life says:

    Willie- I have never been to a derby match mate so I have no idea about the atmosphere in and around the stadium but I would assume that such things do happen considering the rivalry between the 2 sets of fans. In light of that, it does make sense to schedule the match early on.

  247. Lebomanc says:

    James21, Soren

    Hahaha… and about Chico, ya he is already very talented and skillful he just needs to be fit and get some chances to shine

  248. Mikekelly12 says:

    Lebomanc
    No, he came on the following day and read them. He took the jokes in the good humour they were intended.
    James
    You dark horse. Never new you shared your 50th with Robbo??!! I’ll get you a pint on Saturday mate.

    Cheers mate. Never make a big fuss, next year deffo. I feel 50 but thats plumbing for you.

  251. WillieRedNut says:

    I fully agree with young Ravel. ;)

  252. dela says:

    Fletch

    Never been a fan of Twitter, but that tweet (is that what they are called?) made my day.

    Is Pogba on Twitter too?

  253. kanchelskis says:

    @FletchTHEMAN

    That tweet is complete bollocks. He never posted that.

  254. soren says:

    Lebomac- You’re right, with consistent games he will find his form again. My Chico’s very talented.

  255. CedarsDevil says:

    Happy birthday to the Earl of Sandwich!

    I missed you my love, I got that lovely song you posted for me and the great words.

    Very well done.

    Lebomanc

    I was away in Faraya for a few days, Mike and James know the details that is why they and a few others were having a laugh at my expense, hilarious stuff.

  258. soren says:

    Cedars- Nina Simone is always a good option.

  259. kanchelskis says:

    @dela

    Not a real tweet. He never said that. Someone’s on the wind-up I’m afraid.

  260. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Kanchelskis, Hmmm how can you tell? Seems OK to me? Just asking because I don’t see how to tell. Cheers

  261. CedarsDevil says:

    soren

    Yes, great voice as well. Your Little Pea will come good, he will score vital goals for us this season which I am sure will help us get no 20. City are now feeling the heat and have started to lose some players with injury and suspensions. They would never have coped with what we went through with so many players out.

    Corazon

  262. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Kanchelskis Right, I agree now. That post was not from Ravel. Good call. Sad spammers.

  263. CedarsDevil says:

    Mike & James

    Thanks fellas and I am sure you will both know exactly why.

  264. kanchelskis says:

    @FletchTHEMAN

    I follow him, and it never showed up. Here’s his feed:

    https://twitter.com/@RavelMorrison49

    You’ll see it’s not on there.

  265. James21 says:

    Ciders. :D
    Isn’t the earl of sandwich The duke of Wellington?

    Chicharito? When did he become bad. Needs to time his runs but with a quick thinking Midfielder like Cleverly he’ll bang in 20+ a season.

  266. dela says:

    kanchelskis

    Ah darn. Bloody WUMs.

  267. CedarsDevil says:

    Terrific link pal, saved and will be viewed in the morning when my connection is much faster. Top notch

  268. Lebomanc says:

    Cedarsdevil

    Ya I hope you enjoyed faraya, it’s very cold there right now

  269. soren says:

    Cedars.- City are a rookies in these instances.

  270. CedarsDevil says:

    James

    Too right about Little Pea, thing is he is just too quick and hence keeps getting caught off side. Him and wee Thomas would link up brilliantly

  271. denton davey says:

    Greetings from Mexico – I’m here until mid-March to get outta TheGreatWhiteNorth. it don’t suck although noon-kickoffs are on here @ 6:00 a.m. That ain’t great.

    About Patrice/LiverPoo – captain’s armband AND kiss-the-badge.

  272. CedarsDevil says:

    So its the bitters v the dippers tonight, or is that the bitters v KKK FC? Either was what a disgusting combo, just hope they provide us which much needed comedy.

    soren

    No team in the world would have coped with all the injuries we had and still be in the position we are in. That is due to the brilliance of Sir Alex

  273. James21 says:

    Lebomanc
    He doesn’t remember much about it, except some drinking game in which he lost. :D

  274. WillieRedNut says:

    I hope the little pea hasn’t went into his shell.

  275. CedarsDevil says:

    denton davey

    Mexico eh? Excellent stuff, enjoy your time and be in good health. In this case you must send your greetings over to our resident Mexican angel soren

  276. soren says:

    He simply hasn’t been getting the same service from the midfield as he enjoyed last season. Maybe that might improve with Paul Scholes and Tom as James says

  277. parryheid says:

    Redslevin.

    Hah Harry says,if it was horse tips or bungs I might pay attention to him otherwise!

  278. King Eric says:

    Robbo. Wow mate. What a night to be at OT for that Barca game. No unfortunately I wasn’t there. Was only nine at the time but will never forget it. What an atmosphere. Cedars and I think MikeKelly were there.

    Willie. Hello pal. Yeah hope Silva is out. Fuck it. Nowt wrong with saying that. To be fair though I have been critical of Toure but along with him when he turns up and Kompany they are citehs main men. Silva was top drawer but like I said his form the last few weeks has seriously dipped. Anyway no doubt IF he does have a broken foot those three are gonna be a HUGE loss. Can see the bitters having a tricky month.

    Regards tonight I actually want the vermin. Just to hammer a nail into citys cocky coffin. Ideally I want them both to kick seven bells out of each other. Will be interesting to see how seriously Richard Madely takes it seeing as though to the bitters its just a tin pot cup and they are nailed on title winners. Their smugness and arrogance will be their downfall. That started on Sunday. Can you just imagine Fergie proclaiming we will win the title? No as he would never say that. Arrogant fucking Italian.

    Last thing I think the madrid fans getting on Ronnies back is true. His confidence looked shot last night. Fucking wankers. Don’t they realise how lucky they are to have him in their side. Fickle fascist cunts.

  279. WillieRedNut says:

    soren – Don’t worry about our little pea. He’s the resident scouse buster! The lad relies on service. Much like RVN did at United. No worries about Hernandez at all.

  280. CedarsDevil says:

    King Eric

    You never seize to crack me up with your rants ‘Ideally I want them both to kick seven bells out of each other.’

    Haha Excellent stuff.

    Evening pal

  281. WillieRedNut says:

    I couldn’t give a 2 swings of Mike Tyson’s right hook who wins tonight! Just give me some injuries! Preferably city.

    King Eric – It’s probably bollox, this story on Silva? We’ll see.

  282. soren says:

    denton Davey – Enjoy your stay in Mexico!!!
    Willie- :)

  283. Mikekelly12 says:

    Is it possible for both showers of shit to lose?? Pleeeeeeeaaaasssseeee let us see a 2 footed challenge on a city “employee” and see how they react? I’m sure they’d swarm around the ref pleading to keep the dipper on the pitch, shaking him by the hand on a wonderful tackle!!!

  284. James21 says:

    Silva looked fucked on Sunday. Hopefully the Utd Injury curse is finally reaching Wastelands and I’m starting to enjoy it. Bitter Posnan Pricks.

  285. Mikekelly12 says:

    I hope it’s a cunt of a fracture!! Where has this news come from!! If it is true I’m sure Rooney will get the blame for asking the ref to have Silva’s foot broken!!

  286. CedarsDevil says:

    Mike

    city employee? haha Best description to a shitty player I have ever heard!

  287. WillieRedNut says:

    Whats the odds if the dippers score, they’ll copy United fans and do a mock posnan celebration? Scousers are experts at stealing! Rat munching vermin!

  288. James21 says:

    M19ke
    I’d take Red Cards and long term injuries all round. Scousers just then a Loss to Palace or Cardiff in the final.

  289. Mikekelly12 says:

    James
    Perfect !!

  290. soren says:

    WillieRedNut- About Silva, I think have a injury is rare that Mancini out him on Sunday.

  291. CedarsDevil says:

    Tonight’s match is one of the most disgusting pair ups in football. Just imagine if football was played in threesomes, throw in the sheep shaggers into the mix and start a bon fire!

  292. smartalex says:

    gaz – hello mate! Sorry it took me 12 hours to reply, the 150 litre hot-water geyser in my ceiling ruptured, and down came half the ceiling! It happened to be right over my ‘spare’ office, which was full of printers, computers, power-tools, appliances, etc. Fucked up! Thing is that when it rains here, it comes down hard. I need to do gutter maintenance, so a couple of them overflow and make a lot of noise; so when I heard the water, it took me ages to realise it wasn’t raining! What can you do?

    Anyway, with that off my chest: What a fucking moron! Mankini is cracking up, cracking up …!

  297. redbilly says:

    Bitters conceded a penalty, the scouse 1-0 down Mankini in a good mood.
