“United Would Never Sign A Player Like Balotelli”

Just like with Carlos Tevez at Manchester City, Mario Balotelli’s fall from grace has been fairly dramatic. After being hailed as a hero and a legend, City fans quickly became tired of his antics after his selfishness at the Emirates on Sunday helped end their hopes of winning the league.

Speaking to Dutch magazine Voetbal International, first-team coach Rene Muelensteen has claimed that Sir Alex Ferguson would never sign a destructive player like Balotelli.

“Manchester City don’t have a well-balanced team,” said Muelensteen. “They only have individuals who play for themselves. You can see that they lack the right team spirit. There’s no chance of Balotelli playing for Manchester United – a player who gets up to the sort of antics he does has no place at our club. I don’t believe Sir Alex would sign a player like Balotelli. We shouldn’t get in people like him – they only bring about frustration.”

    I wish Rene would let SAF speak for himself. He should also back off with the “individuals who play for themselves” stuff. It may be true but don’t give them ammo to use in team talks at this stage of the season.

  2. DinoTheDog says:

    United have a history of signing players with flair on and off the pitch. If they have enough talent, then a certain amount of “eccentricity”.

    George Best would probably wear out his welcome with Sir Alex quite fast, due to drinking and missing training and games, but he did put up with Eric, Beckham (for a while), Ronaldo and Keano.

    @DinoTheDog

    Beckham was never a destructive player. He was an excellent team player and gave his all for United.

  4. Marq says:

    @DinoTheDog

    The only thing Cantona did badly was that flying kick, and even that, United punished him before the FA did.

    Beckham didn’t do anything wrong, he was just distracted by all the media attention

    Ronaldo was always going to leave us, but even his last season, he was fighting for our cause putting in all his effort for the team

    Keane self destructed, and was shown the door

    None of the players you mentioned comes close to doing as much harm to our team than Balotelli did to City. So there is no comparison. That guy is virus, and good luck to whoever tries their luck on him

  5. Costas says:

    Yeah, can’t see any similarities between Balotelli and any of the players we’ve seen at the club. He’s in a class all by himself.

  6. Phil Jones' Birdshit Streaks says:

    Yeah I don’t think Fergie could even tame Balotelli. The ego and arrogance are too extreme in his case.

    Happy Good Friday my friend and in case I miss out, early Happy Easter wishes

  9. Mikekelly12 says:

    “helped end their hopes of winning the league” why do people continue to talk as though it’s over?! If Wigan beat us, who’s to say Everton won’t take points off us? Coupled with a defeat at the Emptyhad we could very easily see ourselves 1 point behind with 2 to play, of which city have the easier so please enough with this city have blown it nonsense. Speaking of remaining games, does anyone know what happens if Liverpool and Everton draw on Saturday? Is there a replay or does it go straight to pens. A replay would certainly have a baring on our game with Everton!

  10. Costas says:

    I forgot about Ravel Morrison actually. He came pretty close to Balotelli. And guess where he is now.

    Not breaking news exactly, but Fergie said that Scholes was rested and will play on Sunday. No new worries.

  11. Giggs12Gerrard0 says:

    Edwin dont be a cunt mate what sort of fucking post is that.

  12. Costas says:

    @Cedars

    Hi mate. Thanks a lot. And Happy Easter to you (I just don’t know if it’s this week or the last, hehe).

  13. Mikekelly12 says:

    We signed Tevez, although be it on a loan deal and look at the shit he’s kicked up since leaving. Don’t think he’d have dared do to Sir Alex what he’s done to Mankini. It seems you could shag his mrs senseless and shit in his bed, but as long as you said sorry he’d still have you round for Sunday lunch! Spineless twatt!

  14. Costas says:

    @Giggs12

    That’s Max’s alter ego.

  15. The Left Bank says:

    Truer words were never said as these by Rene Muelensteen. But like @Goughie here I question the timing. Not a god time to lob this over. Don’t offend the Footballing Gods!

    We all know how SAF works. It’s not enough to have talent. Or even potential. It’s character. There is no one better than SAF at looking a player in the eye and knowing this player has the hunger and the desire to win and play for the team.

    SAF never chokes off individual talent. Indeed the secret is he gets that one mercurial player like Cantona or Ronaldo to use their God given talent for the team. SAF acknowledges you need a player who can turn a game with a moment of unpredictable brilliance and light a spark up for the rest of the team.

    I think this is why he stayed as long as he did with the likes of Morrison but ultimately realized this lad would never overcome his demons and get his head screwed on right in the same way that Cantona – who came with a fiery and eccentric reputation – matured as a team was built around him.

    I think United as a team can afford one mercurial player in its ranks if only for his unpredictable factor on the field (not off it).

    Perhaps that’s why the present team which does have a look of togetherness about it doesn’t get their due credit because it is perceived that there isn’t one stand out player (discounting Scholes or lately Valencia) that we all look to to make things happen. It’s a much more together United team and hence no high octane thrills that perhaps we were used to in the past with the teams of Cantona and Ronaldo.

  16. CedarsDevil says:

    Mike

    Morning pal, I bet your head feels great right now…. Spot on about the title race…

    The FA Cup semi no longer goes into a replay, in fact the last one was when we beat Arsenal with ‘that’ Giggs goal. Extra time and pens if it end all square at full time

  17. CedarsDevil says:

    Maxine

    Enough already darling, this is getting boring (Not that it was interesting in the first place)

  18. Union Jack says:

    I know I’m going to bet shot down in flames for this but I like ballotelli. He brings much needed personality to the game. I enjoy watching his arrogance, I know that most games he plays he is the centre of attention for doing something incredibly good

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ENdin59iec

    or something incredibly terrible

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftp4SdbMolU

    either way he is going to entertain and the whole reason we watch football is for the entertainment.
    Having said that I am very pleased he plays for the bitters and not us as I wouldn’t want such a disruptive influence in our dressing room.

    Just like Jose Mourinho I know I should dislike him but he makes me smile

    I now prepare myself for the oncoming shit storm of abuse

  19. Mikekelly12 says:

    Cedars
    Not too bad, the fresh lake district air has sorted it. Doing it all again today/night!! Oh yeah, it’s a semi, that’s a pisser! Just have to hope for extra time and penalties with a few key injuries to soften them up for us!

  20. kanchelskis says:

    Lol – Fergie said in his presser that it was ‘the right time’ to rest Scholes … I’d have thought losing to Wigan rather suggested otherwise.

  21. kanchelskis says:

    @CedarsDevil

    It was only ever interesting inasmuch as we all wanted to know exactly what big Phil did to upset Maxine … Did his missus up the pooper? Did his mum up the pooper? Call him horrid names? Didn’t sign an autograph once? Did his sister up the pooper? He doesn’t like his hair?…

  22. Costas says:

    @kanchelskis

    Yeah, maybe resting Paul against QPR and starting him against Wigan and Villa was a better option. If he can play 2 games in 4 days of course…

  23. Giles Oakley says:

    At this point in the season everyone should be a lot more disciplined about what they say. It really doesn’t help having Rene Muelensteen saying stuff about Balotelli that could easily re-motivate him when he comes back from his ban to face United in the Derby. After all he did more than anyone to damage United in the 6-1 defeat. I’m not even sure it’s true that Fergie would never sign someone like Balotelli, given that he signed Eric Cantona who left a trail of sulphur wherever he’d played before joining United. Nor is it true that the legendary Kung-fu kick at Palace was Eric’s only transgression, he got sent off more than once for acts of violence. He was so much better when he eliminated that side of his game, as surely Balotelli will, one day.

    On the subject of loose talk, I strongly agree that it was unwise to tempt fate by saying that Balotelli ‘….helped end their (City’s) hopes of winning the league’.Where I’m sitting this title-race is far from over.

    As for Edwin’s pot shots at Phil Jones, utterly contemptible, just like Hand Waxie Maxie.

  24. Mikekelly12 says:

    Kanchelskis
    I agree, Wednesday was NOT the right time to rest the ginger ninja. On the other note, Max doesn’t like it up him!!

  25. Mikekelly12 says:

    All in all Rene… Shut it!!

  26. RedHound says:

    I don’t think Balotelli is arrogant,nor do i think he’s mean. Would i want him at United? No, but people should cut the guy some slack, and understand what forged the maverick we see now. From the adversity of surviving a series of operations on his intestines as a baby to the racism at him since infancy-the age of five, what with the other parents putting pressure on the club to get the black kid away from their kids; and then to adulthood with the “there are no black italians” chants. The way i see it, he’s grown up from day one with a me-against-the-world-mentality, he’s faced hostility from day one, from almost everyone around him, being born to poor immigrants and then being separated from your natural parents because they cant take care of you, and then facing acceptance issues from everyone around you . Balotelli has learnt to expect hostility from everyone, regardless of their relationship with him. They say the first few years of a person’s life are the most important and are likely to shape them in terms of character and how they view the world, he’s done what most people would do, some will take flight, some will retreat into a shell and become introverts, wallow in self pity, some will use that anger and succeed and when they succeed they’ll want to flaunt it in everyone’s face, with a “bitch i made it ” attitude. That last category of people wont take shit from anyone after they’ve made it, rebellion is bound to set in and they’ll go to extreme lengths to show you who is in control. Criticism or any form of opposition is taken personally. Example scenario, the free-kick incident. Balotelli sees the opportunity to take the freekick, knows fully well he can do it and rouse a comeback for man city, and then up steps Kolarov who takes the ball from him, Balotelli is probably thinking ‘who does this guy think he is, thinks he’s better than me?fuck this guy i’ll never take this shit from anyone, am taking the freekick.” Its like a dog that was stoned a lot as a puppy, its going to grow up chasing and biting people, it expects stones so it wont let you throw them.

    As a neutral and not a United fan, I have sympathy for Balotelli to a level, because i’ve gone through such a phase myself. You start to think everyone is against you after a while, even when its criticism or punishment you probably deserve. But then again to a level, he’s to take some blame for what he’s evolved into.Even the most mentally-deranged of people has the capacity to control their emotions. Left unchecked of course such an attitude will see a perfectly wealthy person buying an Uzi and shooting dozens of people in a mall before he commits suicide, when the impression he had initially given was one of a person in control of their faculties and with everything money can buy. Balotelli needs to see a therapist and deal with his past, i honestly hope he gets help before things really go out of hand.

    Top post mate. A rare voice of non-partisan reason in this place called the internet.

  28. Redbilly says:

    Mikekelly09:44- regarding the dead very attitude I could not agree more. we have not won it yet and mario is not the only cause if their position. Personally I am in two minds re mario. One minute I laugh my nuts off at his antics but I also see an extremely talented lad coupled with a child like need for approval . I hope someone helps him address his issues and allows him to flourish…. Just not at city. Been said so often….. If Jose could not manage him who can?.

  29. Warwick says:

    Fergie isn’t taking things for granted – in his press conference he criticised Mancini for saying the race is over, “I think he picked the wrong time to say that. There’s five games still to go. The twists and turns of the Premier League, it’s fascinating.”

  30. Redbilly says:

    Could people stop slagging off jones please. Makes look plastic and unsupportive like the bitters.

  31. Redbilly says:

    Left bank – correct re talent AND character . G nev is a perfect example .

  32. Redbilly says:

    Mikekelly- lakes district is superb for cycling I here. Maybe you will bump into bobby manc taking a breather up in those hills :-)

  33. gaz says:

    silly comments renee not fucking helping! a win on Sunday is fucking paramout now, that fucking waivy haired perma-tanned twat moankini is trying to mimic Guardiolas comments on the spanish title race and pass them off as his own “mind games” christ that plastic trenchcoat queer looking pavy scarf wearing basted cant even do something origional just like that fucking club. If you took a match to the place youd have the biggest envrionmental fucking disastor of all time and a nice fried egg (david twatt) cunts!!

  34. Marq says:

    @Redbilly

    The “people” who are slagging off Jones is probably the same person. Just ignore him.

  35. Redbilly says:

    Hand waxie maxi :-) nice one

  36. MG says:

    Morning Manchester United!

    And a fine bright morning it is here in sunny Worcester :D

    First to Papii:

    Why’s he running, Dad?
    Because we have to chase him.
    He didn’t do anything wrong.
    Because he’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

    :lol:

    Right then temporary word loss! Don’t know what else to say – alas I would never sign Balotelli myself

    :lol:

  37. Redbilly says:

    Redhound- great post

  38. MG says:

    Rene also said United like Hazard

    Cue transfer overdrive

    :lol:

    Rene also said Erikssen – no no – and that PSV fella as the new Roy Keane to be a rubbish comment from those who made it

    :lol:

  39. MG says:

    I woke up this morning to find Cruyff linked with the Liverpool director of football post

    Yes please! can’t wait for the dog fights to begin between KK and Johan :lol:

  40. Redbilly says:

    Kk the gift that keeps on giving. Someone here said that. Love it.

  41. CedarsDevil says:

    RedHound

    Well written post mate, however being a cynical bastard my self, Balotelli gets no sympathy from me whatsoever. There are millions of kids his age who would kill to have 1% of what Mario has. If its therapy he needs then so be it, not like he cannot afford it.

  42. CedarsDevil says:

    Great to see Sir Giles getting in on the act ‘Hand Waxie Maxie’…… Brilliant

  43. red_bicycle says:

    The Left Bank

    We need one mercurial player right now, maybe next season. Someone like Cantona. I was hoping it was sneijder. But seems it won’t happen.

  44. ScholesForGoals says:

    Go on Rene get under their skin :P City, a joke club full of individuals, playing as individuals.

  45. Redbilly says:

    Cedars- maybe balo needs a visit to Dr hairdryer to sort his head out.

  46. Redbilly says:

    Any more news re wolfswinkle. What a fucking name.

  47. The Left Bank says:

    @red-bicycle thanks for the post. I agree that we need one mercurial player for next season but who?

    Hazard? Ericksen?

    Or will SAF finally roll out Cleverly and Pogba (if of course decides to stay) as the main fulcrum of the CM berths?

    I think another winger is the the last thing we need. We need someone in the middle pulling the strings in the way Scholes does time and time again.

  48. diablored says:

    Balotelli has been City’s best striker this season by a distance. we all saw what he did to us in the 6-1 game….1 thing is certain the boy knows his football.
    So you ask yourself, whats the problem?? He’s good aint he?

    I think Balotelli’s has “love/belongingness” issues (maslows theory). He may feel its safer for him to get attention by making people dislike him, because its what he’s been subjected to since he was little. I agree with RedHound 100%.

    What does he need to get him to function?
    Quite simply…..man-management.
    As much as I know many people will disagree, I think the ONLY man with not only the experience but also the right level of “no-nonsense” attitude, is “You know who” (n i dont mean Voldemort) lol!!

    Might I add, we could do with his undoubted talents, and just like the way Ronaldo was well-groomed, with a controlled ego during his Red days, I think Balotelli could do with the influence of old-heads like Giggs, Scholes and Rio. U cant compare them to Kompany and Tevez as leaders.
    Think about it, the boy just needs to be given direction…..

  49. kanchelskis says:

    @diablored

    Yep. He’s in the worse possible place for his psychological make-up – somewhere where there’s no loyalty, togetherness, or sense of playing for the team. No wonder his individualism and selfishness is the dominant force when he’s surrounded by the likes of Tevez etc.

  50. Redbilly says:

    Kanchelskis- agreed

  51. Dazbomber says:

    Why talk about Balotelli at all , can’t stand him or City We need to talk about all the positives about United

  52. King Eric says:

    Cantona’s kick wasn’t a problem. It was fucking quality as was the punch afterwards. That racist cunt Simmons shat himself in his “braan levever Jacket”. The bastard had form and its just a pity Eric didnt smash his skull.

    Mike – Hey up pal. Addressed you on a thread last night. Where in the lakes are you? Love it up there. Beer on Sunday? THIS time I will bother getting out of my wanking pit. I am disgusted with myself for Sunday for simply not being arsed getting up at 7am!

  55. King Eric says:

    Edwin / Max Bore off and go slit your throat somewhere you fucking weird cunt.

    @Phil Jones shagged Max’s mum

    You, sir, are a legend.

  57. King Eric says:

    It bugs me to fuck that the media seem to think Balotelli is akin to Eric. Is he fuck. Not remotely. Eric was a catalyst, a team player, a guide to the kids and a fucking fantastic player to boot. This little prick isnt fit to lace Eric’s Nikes.

    A longish story on a lovely, contemplative Friday afternoon – be warned it has nothing to do with United, though it’s about football, and life.

    My father’s side of the family came over from what is now Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) when the country was partitioned at the time of independence in 1947. East Pakistan was for the Muslims and modern India was for the Hindus. As many would know, this led to untold misery and violence on both sides. Neighbours who had lived peacefully for generations killed each other, incited by religious hatred, while the profiteers swooped like vultures on the land and property that was left behind by people moving from one (arbitrarily defined) country to the other . My wife’s granny who’s close to hundred (bless her, she’s a dear), for instance, crouched behind the bed as she saw her father being hacked to pieces by a rioting mob.

    The emigrants who moved to India from East Pakistan had little more than the shirts on their backs (my uncle started his life as a bus conductor, one of the lowliest urban jobs you can find in India, though he retired as a top cop with a President’s medal for gallantry), were taunted as “refugees” and generally ridiculed. Their customs were different, they spoke a strange dialect of the same language, and had different tastes in food (food being a mark of identity in my community). They in turn made fun of the people who had been living for generations in East India. It never took a violent shape, and diluted down to just a lot of fun and banter over generations.

    One aspect of life where the partisanship was sharply defined was football. The original settlers had their own proud club, Mohun Bagan, with its own proud history, being a hub for freedom fighters to gather secretly, and had become a symbol of national pride when its barefoot players defeated the East Yorkshire Regiment in 1911 (who were decked out in proper boots) to become the first Indian team to win the IFA Shield. The migrants had their own, younger club called East Bengal, which had a reputation for being tigerish fighters, scrappers, a bit like United with their never say die attitude, and a romantic tradition of punching above their weight when pitted as underdogs against vastly superior opposition. One of the proudest episodes in the history of the club remains the 1-0 victory over Pas club of Iran in 1970, the first time an Indian club beat a foreign club since Independence. To this day, schoolboys punch each other over which is the better club. Certainly, the fiercest games of football in school during the 90’s for me were the ones where teams would be formed based on club loyalty.
    My father was a regular match going supporter of East Bengal. His neighbour in the stands was a fanatical supporter who would never, ever be late to a match. He was middle aged – a thin, small man with gnarled features. He had a small tailor’s shop in one of the villages on the outskirts of the town. To watch a football match, he would have to take a ferry across the river, and then catch a train before walking down with thousands of red and gold (the club colours) fans. He would always carry a twelve feet tall bamboo pole with a huge red and gold flag attached to it, struggling to carry it past the swirling cauldron of spectators. His wife nagged him for neglecting the business and spending too much time on football, and each time his snappish retort was the same, “If I do what you ask me to do every time, then who’s going to support the goddamn club?”

    One day, the unthinkable happened. The tailor was late. Given his fanaticism for the club, and the game, my father and his mates in the stands were beginning to worry, for surely, only the most unprecedented of events could keep him away, when the little man walks in, fighting his way through the crowded, sweaty terrace, but sans his giant flag.
    “What happened, brother? You late today?”
    “First tell me the score – how’s it going?”
    Once reassured that things were all right on the pitch, the man disclosed the reason for his delay.
    “Don’t even talk about it – my eldest got bitten by a cobra. I could barely get the cremation done on time and catch the last afternoon train.”
    I don’t think anybody really had the heart for any football after that, but they all knew the pointlessness of trying to drag the man away from his beloved spot in the Maidan (the greens where the matches were played in those days).

    (As an aside, fifty years ago, cobras were common in my part of the country and harvesting farmers were famous for chopping off their bitten fingers with one stroke of the sickle before the poison could spread.)

    My father kept seeing the little tailor for the next several years, but a small, awkward wall formed around him since that day. His mates could never be as free with him, because they sensed something that was different, almost unnatural about him. And the tailor himself changed bit by bit – his eyes clouded, his back hunched, his support was never quite that vociferous. One day he disappeared and was never seen again at a match. Some of my father’s mates went to check on him. They found his tiny shop boarded up and the entire family disappeared – gone to make a living in the big city, apparently.

    Times have changed. Cobras are not so common. Indian football has probably regressed further, though there is an effort at resurgence, guided by higher investment these days. Both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan are owned and sponsored by a liquor conglomerate (nobody talks of conflict of interest). Globalization has happened, and my generation has reaped the benefits. Fewer kids play barefoot – indeed tomorrow morning I will play with Nike boots which my ability scarcely deserves, and in twenty years time more kids will probably fight over United and Arsenal than East Bengal and Mohun Bagan. Life, and the incomprehensible forces that govern it will continue to create winners and losers, and tailors and their families will continue to disappear in its maelstrom.

  61. King Eric says:

    Mike – Goes to pens mate as the dippers are convinced their will be a romantic Brad Jones story. To be fair to the bloke I do feel for him.

  62. King Eric says:

    *there*

    Ain’t counting my chickens as I knew Wigan would be a banana skin but Everton rarely turn up at OT. Yes last year they made it tough by sitting back but generally they don’t come at us. Having said that they are in damn good form and have some top players. Hoping their energy is drained after 90 minutes plus extra time at Wembley. THAT game when Hernandez scored was a great day. Got home to find out Ruth was pregnant. A sunnny day it was too.

  63. RedHound says:

    diablored, i dont think Fergie would take Balotelli if he was given to him for free. Loyalty, a respect of hierachy, and all those other qualities the great man prizes in his signings are not qualities you can drum into Balotelli’s head right now without using brute force; a military school would be ideal, and even that i think his his doubts

  64. King Eric says:

    RedHound – Are you not a United fan? Always thought you were.

    Where is Paul Parker these days. And Fred?

  65. King Eric says:

    I read some poster here yesterday saying that Rene Muelensteen always says the opposite about transfer. :D could this be one of them? Haha joke. Balotelli is not mercurial, he just plain clueless bloke with no dignity.Gatecrashing the press conference for new inter milan coach is just dumb idiot.

    Does wolfswinkle sound mercurial?

  69. samuel - united WE stand says:

    Against villa, we should play and fight with everything we have. Defend and work hard off the ball as a team and then get forward intelligently. Alex Mcleish won’t turn up to rolled over, they have some outstanding younger players so we need step up our game right from the start. It’s time to be composed and calm in our play while also applying ruthless and clinical finishing, No time for FUCKING flicks and tricks.

  70. King Eric says:

    Costas – Hello mate. I think we both know the new poster has Bird Shit streaks!!

  71. King Eric says:

    samuel – Agreed pal. I am loathe to slag Giggs but by god do those little flicks and backheels annoy me. I can see a run of 1-0 now like Clint said.

  72. Jeet says:

    @King Eric: “Maximum” mindless violence is indeed what some mindless posts deserve. Frankly, I just get tired of fighting idiots – and it’s heartening to see folk like you having more energy to dish out what is so richly deserved.

  73. samuel - united WE stand says:

    We may all mock mario balotelli but we have to be wary, that man is unpredictable, he can win a game individually hence why we need to go into that derby with a cushion, it’s getting tense and tense now.

  75. Costas says:

    @King Eric

    Hi buddy. It’s not him I feel. Something tells me it’s someone that’s used different usernames in the past. Especially when his original one goes missing. ;)

  76. kanchelskis says:

    @KE, Samuel

    Yeh, fuck the flicks. Much as I love him, Welbeck is guilty of that too. When they come off, they’re great, but should NOT be attempted when we’re not at our fluid best and the match is on a knife-edge. One of the first things Welbeck did when he came off the bench at Bburn (we’d just taken the lead) was try an ornate flick to Rooney on the touchline. It went straight out of play 5 yards behind Rooney. Fergie absolutely lost his shit and Danny looked sheepish to say the least!

  77. King Eric says:

    Costas – Hi mate. Who? Give me a clue please.

    Jeet – Cheers pal. It just spews out my mouth!

    King eric – another example to show Giggs still possesses the mindset of a winger. He still loves to get past an opponent with a trick and this is not the time for it. Pass accurately and keep rotating the ball because i expect villa will want to hit us on the counter.

  79. kanchelskis says:

    Btw, if the “real” Stephen Ireland shows up on Sunday, we’re in trouble. If the one that shows up 95% of the time appears, we should be OK. Knowing our luck, it’ll be the former.

    Ex-City and all that.

    @King Eric

    Have you ever tried on the Paco Rabanne fragrance? It’s pretty good. (That was a clue, but I don’t want to completely out the guy, lol)

  81. RedHound says:

    King Eric i meant it in the context of seeing from the eyes of a neutral but of course am a united fan :)

  82. King Eric says:

    samuel – You always talk alot of sense you. Like your posts. You know your stuff. Villa at the minute really are lacking a striker though and with Petrov the hearbeat out look devoid of ideas. I loved Bannan and saw him batter our reserves two years ago with a hat trick but since his driving conviction etc he looks to have gone off the boil. Like you say though some great young players in that side. Cannot wait for the FA Youth cup tonight. Will be a big ask for our lads. Right back in a bit.

  83. King Eric says:

    RedHound – Ha. I did wonder to be honest as I have always liked your posts and found it odd you said you weren’t a United fan!!

  84. King Eric says:

    Costas – STILL don’t know mate as I missed all that Paco Rabanne thing a while back. Please email me it then mooren@leedslearning.net Its bugging me now.

  85. red_bicycle says:

    Max will donate his left bollocks no.

    Mercurial Max :D

  86. King Eric says:

    Infact if that email doesnt work it may be mooren05@leedslearning.net

    Mercurial Max :D

  88. catotraa says:

    Reports say that we have agreed with Benfica on a deal for Gaitan. Word is we pay 20m, pluss two players (either Bebe, Petrucci or Macheda).

    Don’t know if its true, but interesting ntl. Hope we aim to use him as a CAM instead of a winger, if the rumors are true.

  89. King Eric says:

    Costas – It is indeed the latter email. God I sound a right thick cunt this morning and slow on the uptake!

    Devil310 – Sorry pal. Gave you wrong email. see above.

  90. samuel - united WE stand says:

    Kanchelskis – i guess you can blame a lack of experience on welbeck’s part. I think he needs to work harder to be a better finisher because he does get chances, probably more than even rooney and i have championed his all round play but name of the game is to stick in the net.

    On ireland, i agree. I remember him tearing chelsea apart this season so yes he’s a threat but they have threat from every attacking position which means we need to be focused and on the front foot from the off, we need to stop fucking about and take chances ruthlessly. This league is unforgiving.

  91. King Eric says:

    Ha. Bebe to Benfica. Yes can see that happening.

  92. Jeet says:

    Ok will do. Careful Max doesn’t start sending you emails now. :D

  94. King Eric says:

    Costas – Cheers mate. Oh god. perish the thought!

  95. Max says:

    This is my lineup for Sunday and for the rest of the season although I expect nani and young to be chopped and changed. Ddg, rafael, rio, Jonny, AntoV25, Carrick, Scholes, Nani, Wazza, Super Dan with Hernandez, smalling, giggsy, young, cleverley(who has a massive future in the game there’s no doubt about it. Top top player…looks for a space, receives the ball, looks up and passes it again…the cycle repeats itself…proper footballer…always on the move…loves those 1-2′s and most importantly knows what it means to wear that Red Shirt), pogba, berba, Park…

    I’d leave jones in the shade. Simples. He’s a liability no matter what position he seems to play in.

    Does any1 know if Michael Owen will be involved on Sunday?? Did Fergie have anything to say about the lad and also what abou Dimitar?? its a real shame that he’s been basically cut off. I really hope he’ll be involved in these last 5 games because in recent weeks we have struggled for goals. Hernandez has not been at the races and nor ha Super Dan(although his general play has been superb…him and TomClevz23 the 2 positives from Wigan). I can def see Owen scoring a vital goal in the run in. Come on you Scouse Bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  96. CedarsDevil says:

    Yeah, Also though the Bebe-rumor was the less likely one. However, he does look alot like Axel Witsel, could be they want a step in.

  104. Clint-Iamyourpapii says:

    MG -
    That brought a tear to my wooden eye :cry:

    King Eric & others – Thanks for the thanks on the other thread ;)

    Mancini is a tremendous failure in mind games, I don’t know whether you can call them mind games as everyone see’s through it and just thinks “ah poor lad, the effort to play mind games is there but the experience isn’t, Aww”. Its not a footballing reaction he’s receiving but a human emotion to pity such a desperate man and not his team. I actually thought Mancini would go toe-to-toe with United and SAF but it appears he is aware he’s nowhere near the level of intelligence or experience we have and doesn’t fully speak elaborated English, so he tries his underhand methods that appear inconsequential at this time of the season.

  105. jeet says:

    Ohh shit, I thought the guessing game was about maxine, not his kryptonite :)
    Daft as usual from me. Sorry for spoiling the fun

  106. Sandeep1878 says:

    Do you think Rene would speak this?

    Its the master mind of Sir Alex that sets the tempo in Dutch press..

    anyone here remember last season about Rene telling to Dutch pres that we will be almost signing Sneidjer? ;)

    We are doing our part here, not a bad thing..

    Let Rene speak on odd occasions, but the script is from Sir Alex, i will never doubt it..:)

  107. samuel - united WE stand says:

    King eric – Likewise to you mate, your rants are enough for me to turn pro sometimes ha. Yes shame with what’s happened to petrov, a drive in their team so we hope he recovers well. I agree with you on bannan, a little technical player and as it’s against united, don’t rule out him stepping his game up like every single player does against us.

    On the fa youth cup, my do the youth players have a game on their hands. Chelsea still have almost all the players from last year’s youth cup so they’re are more experienced and physically stronger but we have talented youth ourselves and you just never know, it will be interesting.

  108. Costas says:

    @Jeet

    Yeah they are tiresome a bit mate, but like Cedars said, this is actually worth it.

    Like that 2013 guy who mocked sachu’s lame 2012.

  121. samuel - united WE stand says:

    It’s a shame what’s happened with bebe, i thought his career path would have ended in an eventual movie and maybe a novel but it’s all gone wrong for him and was shipped off to turkey but could there still be a glimmer of hope of the portuguese returning as a more confident brilliant player? i know i’m clutching onto straws but bebe with his 6ft plus frame could turn up at the daily fail’s headquarters, grabbing each cunt of a sport’s editor who gave him flack from the start by their heads and stick in a public toilet full of Shit and then saying “Well well, look at me now? the fans sing my name in the terraces but you all won’t get the chance to do that because you’ll be tasting that Shit you all love to spout, eat Shit you wankers.. eat what you love^

  122. Clint-Iamyourpapii says:

    I hope we put in a dominant display against Villa, where we win the ball whenever its’s lost, we play calmly, score efficiently and most of all are wary of the threat from Villa.

    They still have decent players, Agbonlahor puts in a decent shift against us, N’zogbia is one to watch with Evra on the left. Bannan is a light footed quick passing fucker so he’s one to watch out for and of course the mysterious Ireland who’s a bit like James Milner and on his day can run at teams with a ball and pick out a pass.

    Villa are awful, but we always had good games against them, so its important, we grab them by the throat early on and scare them. Passing football (Arsenal style) in this type of game is needed, a 1-0 will do but a dominant display where we cut out their threats, win possession whilst getting shots at goal. We are struggling for goals up front because only Rooney is scoring, so more balls in the box = higher probability of other strikers scoring.

    If we can’t beat Villa on Sunday then we don’t deserve to win the title. Enough said.
    Why do we always have to do things the hard way? Its unbelievable. Cruising with an 8 point lead away to Wigan which looked like a guaranteed 3 points given our record against them. We always do this though. It always happens. Football hey. Bloody hell. We’ve let the scum back into the title race and I’m not pleased. Fix up lads. Only 6 points from our next 2 home games will do and nothing less. Let’s be #relentless

  133. Max says:

    What’s the current Juventus team like at the minute? Is there space for Pogba? Will he get more game time there than at MUFC? If so I can def see him leaving us for Italy. There’s no doubt the lad is a massive talent and having watched his career from the youth team to the reserves, I’ve never seen a player like him before at that age. He’s simply world class it has to be said. The problem is that he wants to play and he probably feels he needs 1st team football and at the minute he just aint getting any of it. Its just so bloody tough to make it and come through the ranks at a club like United today. We’ve had some quality young lads in the past like Richardson, rossi, eagles, tosic, shawcross etc and they all had to move on elsewhere. I fear the same is gonna happen to Paul. Let’s hope he stays though. He seems to be happy in Manchester and he looks like he really loves the club so let’s see what happens. It would be a huge loss to lose the lad after Ravel left so fingers crosses Fergie convinces him to stay…

    I’m getting a little bored of the timidness to be honest maybe start having some faith in the lads to finish the job.I respect most of your opinions but like some of you don’t like me saying the title is won it’s a two way street i have no doubts Utd will win the league,so can we stop repeating,shouldn’t say this shouldn’t say that,believe me whatever i say is not going to change anything.

    I really hope Everton beat Liverpool. David Moyes deserves it after the effort he’s gone to with Everton to keep them afloat, Like SAF he controls everything at that club which is respectable and great to see he’s been there so long and maintained their quality. Guys like Jelavic,Osman, Cahill can hopefully get a few goals in. Those lads deserve it too. With Guys like Tim Howard,Phil Neville, Darron Gibson….i’m a Everton fan for this tie.

    Also if they win, they’ll have one eye on the FA cup final and might ignore the United match and rest players or be distracted.

    C’MON YOU TOFFEES ! 8)

  158. kanchelskis says:

    @Clint-Iamyourpapii

    Totally agree. I’m siding with Everton for far more reasons than just that they are playing Liverpool. They’ve always loved the competition and have embraced it as their only real chance of silverware they can hope for in their current financial situation. If you can forgive them for ’95 and also for dumping us out unfairly a couple of years ago (Welbeck pen not given, Berba’s epic fail in the shootout), then you can get right behind them, as I will be!

    Their team is better than Liverpool’s, and they’ve played with more passion and willingness than the shower from the other side of Stanley Park.

    But we know what Liverpool are like. They somehow ‘turn up’ for big games like this, meaning they get lucky and bumble their way through. I really hope they don’t this time. Want Everton to do them for a change.

    After extra time and lot of injuries, that is ;-)

  159. Clint-Iamyourpapii says:

    I have suspicions SAF is plotting a bid for Modric.

    He has been pushing Arry strangely for the England job repeatedly in the past and has pressured the FA to quickly appoint him as he’s the “best around”.

    I reckon SAF is trying destabilise Spurs so players are unsettled & feel betrayed and isolated plus there is one less obstacle to get past, as everyone knows, Daniel Levy is one tight arse business man, he aims to triple profits on players and can squeeze milk out the of flattest tits around.

    Say if Arry leaves, it leaves players on the brink. Spurs potentially won’t make the Top 4 looking at their run in, will their players hang around for a 2nd season without Champions league football?
    One of the trio of Luka,Bale and Van Der Vaart will escape them for sure.

    Its just a theory, but I reckon SAF has already thought of this and is secretly hoping all goes to plan. However the flaw in it is that Chelsea might come in for Modric again and then it becomes a transfer tug of war which Levy will relish and Chelsea will win it because we won’t get involved and Modric will choose and london+cash.

    Anyway, its theory as I say again. But Imagine Tottenham win the FA CUP. This will excite England into giving Harry the Job and then the chain of reaction sets off as my theory suggests. Modric is not a player that excites me or has me craving him, but I do know he is a great passer, plays the centre mid role fantastically, he’s feisty too and 26 years old. He’s good player that would suit United’s 4-4-2 but the only problems are, is the fella worth the £35m-45m he’ll be tagged with. If I was desperate, I would pay £30m tops but I don’t know SAF could surprise us all.

  160. wayne says:

    Mike i like to bet horses so i’ve been through the supersitious rituals also following Utd,lucky shirt etc but over the years realized there isn’t such a thing.My Mum was so supersitious,never walk under a ladder,don’t put a umbrella up in the house,never say pig in the house,spill salt throw some over the right or left shoulder etc.My Mum would always buy trinkets from Gypsies who came to the door so she didn’t get cursed but that’s like Friday 13th for most people it’s just another day but for those who believe it’s a unlucky day if anything bad happens that’s the reason although even if they’d had a worse day on Thursday the 12th wouldn’t even think about that day as being bad luck.
    Utd would have to have a complete meltdown not to win and if it happens so be it but it’s better for the players to feel the fans are loose and positive than OT being tension filled because the fans are worried.I wasn’t surprised by the result against Wigan the team had been on a great run of form so were due a bad game and Wigan aren’t that bad and are battling hard yet some of the the post match comments on Rom just left me shaking my head
    End of the day Utd are 5pts clear with 5 games left it’s a fucking great position to be in we are UTD let’s get behind the lads and finish the job,by the way my first post wasn’t directed at you there is a lot of lads who are supersitious on here,to outsiders would come across as a lack of belief and that’s not the club or the fans.

    DDG, Rafael Rio Smalling Evra, Valencia Carrick Scholes Nani, Rooney Welbeck. Thinking Smalling and Nani need a game. Let the ginger prince do his stuff for 70, 75 minutes, then give Clevs a run out. I expect United to go at Villa from the start. All about getting that early goal. Villa’s confidence is shot to pieces. Score early, and they could collapse. 3 0 United.

    Jeet, that was one of the best posts I’ve seen here, eye-opening, evocative, emotional, great story-telling, great sense of time and history, it read like a short-story. More of the same please, as I know nothing about football in the Sub-Continent.

    Samuel, absolutely right about Stephen Ireland. Hope it’s not one of his good days, or we’re in trouble!

  166. Max says:

    @ phil jones…..where’s Phil Jones in your lineup if u back + support the lad so much ha?? Piss taker aren’t u ya bellend?! And even Smalling in the lineup as well. Shock!!!! Deep down we all know Jones is not right for us. I hope he doesn’t come close to making a starting lineup for these 5 games left. LIABILITY!!!!!

  167. Phil Jones shagged Max's mum! says:

    :D Got her rattled!

    @Max

    Young, Cleverley, Fabio, Giggs and Berbatov aren’t in it either. They’re all probably shite too, aren’t they?

    Nobend.

  170. kanchelskis says:

    And Hernandez. Also shite and a liablity.

  171. Max says:

    @ Phil Jones…. Ye its all very well predicting a 3-0 win u bellend! BUT HOW MANY TIMES HAS THAT HAPPENED THIS SEASON AND THINGS DONT GO THE WAY WE WANTED IT TO. Football doesn’t work like that and u should know that by now. We all thought we’d win comfortably against Wigan the other night…same can be said about when we played B-Burn @ home. Get a bloody grip for christ sakes! People need to STOP these bloody predictions already!!!!! Its 1 thing to predict a drubbing and to actually go out there and score 3 goals and keep a clean sheet. If only football was that easy…..

    Max says:

    same can be said about when we played B-Burn @ home.

    Strangely, I don’t think Fergie’s planning to drop Rooney, put Carrick at the back and play Park and Rafael in CM tomorrow. Just a hunch.

  173. Costas says:

    Ha. Maxine is upset. Someone get her a tampon.

    Thanks for that

    jones needs to fucking improve.
    he’s had a few games, then injured himself, then he’s been terrible.
    and yeah, when i say ‘injured himself’ i really mean that as his tackling is atrocious and bad for his health, more so than the opposition player he’s trying to disposes.
    but jones out?
    thats ridiculous, he’ll be a legend

  176. wayne says:

    I perdict it’ll be 3-0 by halftime Villa are fucking rubbish,should make the bet Rooney will score first always a solid choice,wonder what the odds are on a Rooney hattrick after getting yanked the other night should be chomping at the bit

  177. CedarsDevil says:

    wayne

    Villa are not rubbish mate, after all they got a point at Anfield

  178. Max says:

    All those lads mentioned are world class! I love each and every1 of them! Hernandez is class and his class will shine through. He’ll score a couple vital goals in the run in mark my words. If we can just get the right delivery and service to the lad in the box, the goals will come there’s no doubt about that. We need to start crossing and getting the ball into the box + creating goal scoring opportunities. That’s what its all about. We’ve missed Nani big time! He’s one of my favorite players no matter how frustrating he can be some days. He’s world class and his delivery is simply top drawer. Young will also have a big role to play with 5 more games to go. I believe thw lad has what it takes to be a success @ United! He’s had a great first season for us and he’ll only get better. I have a feeling Mickey Owen might just be on the bench tomorrow instead of Berbatov and its a real shame too but the Bulgarian seems to be on his way of OT. Its a pity because he’s a top top player and I’ve really enjoyed watching the lad over the last couple years. He oozes class and has scored some lovely goals over the seasons. It just looks like his time is up. Football can be a cruel game @ times and this is one of them. Top scorer last season and hardly sniffing a place this season. Credit to him though. He’s behaved like a true gent and got on with it the best way he could. I’ll miss the lad. That goal against B-Burn at OT last season was simply incredible. The buildup to it was out of this world. How he set it up inside our own half with Paddy Evra…….wow what a goal. Will never forget it. He’s given us some great moments and for me in my opinion he’s a United Legend! I wish him all the best. Top player! Top man! Top pro!

    Fabio is quality! I love watching the lad. He started against Barca in the CL final! How unbelievable is that! He’s got a big future @ Utd. He’s like his bro Rafael, quick, ferocious, driven, determined, fearless and can play with both feet as well as playing on the left or right. He was superb against Everton in the Reserves the other day. Its just ridiculous that this Joners fella has come in with this massive price tag and label and he’s forced a lot of our youngsters out of the reckoning and places in the team. I wasn’t happy when we signed Jones caus I knew this was gonna happen and so it has. A lad starts a champions league final against BARCELONA and now finds himself playing reserve team football all because of one man with a massive price tag and label has come In and disturbed the works at our club! Its all very well buying for the future BUT the problem with buying Jones it that we already had players for the future at the club in place. Smalling, rafa, evans, fabio and lads like Mike Keane, Michele Fornasiser, Marnick Vermjl and even Scotty Wootton and Reecey Brown were waiting in the wings to try and stake a claim and force their way into the team. Imagine how fucking pissed off they must have been that United had gone out and bought Phil. Its not fair on these lads. And that’s why you’ll see in a couple of years time we won’t have any of these lads at our disposal as nobody wants to play reserve team football forever. Greed is the root of all evil. There was nothing wrong with the likes of the twins, smalling evans etc. These lads are top players! There was no need for Jones to be signed and that’s a fact! I’d love to ask Fergie why he got greedy and signed the lad? If we never had players like Smalling etc ok I would have been alright with buying jones. I just can’t understand why all of think it was a BRILLIANT move to brting jones in. And that’s all I have to say on the matter! End of Story! I’ll NEVER be a fan of Jones. He’s a liability and simply not United class. Boo hoo just caus he’s English innit ha? Do me a favor! He’s proper gash and that’s a fact! BOOM

  179. Max says:

    Ye we thought Swigan were rubbish didn’t we ha and look what happend!!! Football is a funny thing and anything can happen on a football pitch. I’ve seen it time and time again over the years! Its just a game and just because were Manchester United doesn’t mean were gona rip every team that comes to play at OT every 2 weeks. I hope we do win 3 or 4 – 0 and I hope Rooney can get a couple tomorrow and hopefully Hernandez can do the same. BUT football like any other sport has its ups and downs! U can’t win every game as it showed on Wednesday night and u can’t play well in every game. Life doesn’t fucking work like that people!!!! So get on with it and stop these fucking dumb predictions!!!! What will be will be! Life goes on!

  180. wayne says:

    Got a short attention span so don’t normally read long posts,just scanning through and cutting to the chase another negative Jones post by Maxine

  181. James21 says:

    Hissy Fits. :D

  182. Phil Jones shagged Max's mum! says:

    Swigan? :shock:

  183. wayne says:

    Fuck me do you ever leave the house in life anything can happen might get run over by a car,mind you if one stays inside could be a earthquake and the building could collaspe.What to do,what to do,nuclear bunker is always a option not much sunlight,vitamin D deficiency not good for mental health.
    So anyway could easily see the fulltime result being 5 or 6 nill.Fancy Norwich to turn over City what do you figure Max 2 or 3 nill Norwich,fucking City are cooked

  184. CedarsDevil says:

    Birth control does that to some

  185. wayne says:

    That’s what i’ll be doing at the pub later on

  186. Costas says:

    Swigan. :lol:

  187. Clint-Iamyourpapii says:

    When we lost to Swigan I was bitterly disappointed, lets just hope Jones doesn’t play against
    Aston M’Villa .

    :cry:

    Ooh Mama :lol:

    Watson!

    Just 20?

    I think The famous Sherlock and his ever intriguing Watson need to meet then – cause for happiness indeed my dear Watson!

    :lol:

  189. MG says:

    Papii

    On a serious note.

    Do not touch my girl.

    :lol:

    Watson which way, down south from Worcester M5 or north?

    I love it when a plan comes together :lol:

  190. Max says:

    I’d like to think Norwich can get something from the game but to be honest I just can’t see it happening. Tevez and Aguero upfront. It means goals. Norwich also have a couple goals in them with the likes of Pilkington and Holt so let’s hope they score more than city do. But I just can’t see it. I’ll be more than happy if we do our business caus its in our hands. That’s what counts for me. Won’t even be watching the city game. Can’t bare watching those bitter cunts!!!!!

    Jeet

    From a Birbhum native, I gotta hand it to you. That was a beautiful piece of literature, dost! Thank you.

  192. jaschadavid says:

    Fergie would have a heart attack if he signed balotelli. (Touch Wood)

  193. Truthseeker says:

    Are we all forgetting teh lunatic that was Eric Cantona before his stint with Sheff Weds?!?!?

    Balotelli is just as young as that (lets be honest), violent, French prick who (you’d never want in your team and who) went on to become my boyhood hero, and whose name became a footballing institution by itself.

    If Fergie can tame Cantona – who actually had two fucking brain cells to rub together – then I’m sure the greatest sports psychologist that has ever lived can get something out of this arsehole. Even for a season.

    No denying, Balotelli is REALLY good – even when he doesn’t WANT to be good.

    His two goals against Sunderland (one pen) from fuck all are why city are as close to us right now, and shows that even begrudgingly he can score from nothing. Kind of like a younger Wayne Rooney (remember THAT Newcastle goal??).

    That’s is why I’d have him playing alongside Rooney. If I couldn’t get Aguero first, of course.
