United’s Day With Special Olympic Athletes

On Tuesday, the Manchester United Foundation and Aon joined together to host the first of five football clinics as part of the USA tour. About 30 Aon colleages from the Boston area joined with Manchester United players Jonny Evans, Gabriel Obertan and Anderson, coaches from the Manchester United Soccer School, and representatives from the Manchester United Foundation, including Foundation chief executive John Shiels, in giving approximately 50 Special Olympic athletes from Boston a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The 90-minute clinic took place at Ohiri Field on the campus of Harvard University, and the athletes, whose ages ranged from 16 to 26, had a chance to learn some football techniques and interact with the Manchester United players.

The Aon Foundation is underwriting the cost of each of the Special Olympics soccer clinic with a sponsorship to the local Special Olympics chapters in each city where Manchester United will be playing as part of its North American tour. Clinics also will be conducted in Seattle, Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.

    This is a really good thing. Special Olympics is a treasure for families with special needs kids and deserves recognition for all they do on an incredibly tight budget. Good on ya AON. Well done to the United lads who are helping out as well

  2. booandman says:

    Nice one boys……..

    1st!!

  3. booandman says:

    Aargh…..beaten by a whisker!!

  4. smartalex says:

    That was a close shave booandman.

  5. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    This is one more reason why I love this club. The work we do with UNICEF is already well known and great. Add to that special endeavors like this really make my heart feel warm that I support United.

    Good on the lads and the whole team, not to mention our sponsors AON.

  6. booandman says:

    Story of my life Alex..!!

    Off topic it’s my 1st year of being an official member and I just went to apply for Arse @ home, it only had an option for 1 ticket. Is this right??

  7. Red Typhoon says:

    Excellent!! Good on ya’ lads!!

  8. keano99 says:

    Well done lads

  9. FletchTHEMAN says:

    @Balaji. Well said mate.
    I recall Uniteds tour of South Africa the year before the world cup. Some will remember the really great projects that United supported on that trip. But I want to point out the trip itself. Not the least was helping FIFA sort out some of it’s preparations for the WC. People were worried, thinking players could get malaria etc. Not unfounded as Drogba actually did pick it up supporting his homeland. United does so much off the field and most of it quietly. Always a bit of sore spot with me that Barca put UNICEF on their shirts when UNITED has done so much for them without a mention.

    I see the scousers have just signed the goalkeeper that conceded a magnificent 7 at Old Trafford when playing for Roma! Ha ha ha ha HAAAAAAAAAAAA.

  11. rat1p says:

    booandman
    thats correct sir

  12. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Rai -
    I agree that the idiots should be banned. But the Difficult thing for StR is that by banning 2 fools, it sets a precedent for us to ask for more bastards to be banned. Scott Im sure would find it difficult to distinguish those with conflicting opinions on a regular basis that leads to personal insults to those who are just as abusive towards United and are as confrontational on repeated occasions.

    This will sadly lead to the comment sections being blocked if it continues because of fuckers like Bill Knob and The Facebook Warrior etc.

    Balaji – You & Cedars and many more take the right route of ignoring the pricks which I find impressive, these fucks really to get under our skins and I understand why some find it difficult not to tell the many cunts Fuck off.

  13. captaink9 says:

    Great picture well done to United.

  14. RedMegleeker says:

    Nice one.

  15. Btmcmul1 says:

    My brother is a special needs kid and it’s awesome to see us doing this for people who have only a few things to look forward to in life. Hope they enjoyed their time, and hope their enjoying their time here in the States.

  16. CedarsDevil says:

    Classic United moment, greatest football club on earth…

    Papii

    I used to be a lot more vocal against trolls in the past, now I just ignore them as best as I can, but at times its really hard not to react

  17. willierednut says:

    United in the community. Gotta love it.

  18. FletchTHEMAN says:

    My view is you can’t ban em. Would loose all the character of the place. We had a real red get banned a couple of years back. Lad does a bang on job for SEF, but he got banned because of some anti foreigner talk, I believe is what done it. Sure he was an old codger who didn’t have a clue what the furore was.
    Interesting that you can come on here and say about as you please about the manager and not be banned, but have some opinions about what is lost at OT by plastic fans and you will get banned. Imagine that STR still has nightmares about that one.
    My view is to ignore them unless it gets under my skin. I say my piece, exchange a word with a couple of lads I know, then put on my wellies and wade through the mire of the days more factious elements.
    To each their own I say. Just don’t talk about bombing/killing/maiming innocents as funny and we will be OK.

    Points being make about foul language is absolutely true TBH. I go for days without one decent response. But if i put in a couple of colourful 4 letter numbers I am flavor of the month. Bit moronic but I have tested it and it is only too true.

  19. Dave Malaysia says:

    Firstly,makes me happy ,thank you for the good work,hope they enjoyed their time,special people,good karma.

    Secondly, on that story, the Manutd fan going to the liverpool get together wearing our shirt.
    What was he thinking, wud be interested to know the whole story, no one seems to have much of a clue.

    Myself saw it here first. Any other Malaysians in here have any info?

    So we are confirmed trying for a new Scholes like player i.e a creative genius for our midfeild.
    And no one knows who is goin to be.

    Seen some news that Fergie is giving some misdirection to throw people of the tracks, :lol:

    My view is Fergie is good,simple as that,no one know for sure where or what we are up to .

    Modric stays at spurs . Sneijder is too much money for the transfer and his wages and u know its all bollocks when u see the figures.

    Nasri ,well he might just stay and leave next summer for free. Or suddenly out of the clouds lands in Carrington and signs up. Why? young ,creative, affordable.

    Well difficult to watch tv nowdays over here without running into arse,liver or chels adverts or news.

    Over here our satelite companies of different individual nations now are involved in the bidding and winning of Premier League and Euro football packages. So there greater effort from the teams to increase thier presence here . On Malaysian tv its our local league, other asian football news and games ,then english and other top euro leagues, and now MLS games as well.

  20. willierednut says:

    Bring back Tufty!

    To be fair, if Scott banned the said people, this place wouldn’t lose much character. That’s just my personal opinion of course.

  21. captaink9 says:

    Who is getting banned?

  22. willierednut says:

    Talibanned!

  23. mikekelly12 says:

    Good work lads!! God I love United!

    In response to Fletch, as difficult as it is, these fuck witts just need to be ignored. They aim to get a reaction and if everybody carried on as if they weren’t there they’d soon get bored and fuck off. Just develop selected vision and train your eyes to ignore anything under their user name.

    Dave – Sir Alex also said the replacement may just come from the youth team. Maybe he’s seen enough to give someone a chance to shine?

  24. Dave Malaysia says:

    @mikekelly12: Maybe or it cud be someone in the senior ranks for now.

    time to sleep ,be back tomolo.

  25. RedMegleeker says:

    Well done FletchTHEMAN, some perspective.

    This corner of the internet is a place to be for United men, all over the world. When it gets to football and what goes on on the pitch its great, first port of call.
    My ire with it is similar to yours, there is no need whatsoever to get on like a brainless moron to get a point across, unless ofcourse you are brainless.

    Some ones need to chill out, when they do they can be very funny at times.

    Come on United.

  26. captaink9 says:

    Park for midfield, he will run box to box 90 mins and we seen from the friendly his movement, touch and finish that he can be a force.

  27. FletchTHEMAN says:

    @willie, amen brother! Wellies on ;)

  28. RichardJ says:

    That is fantastic. It does not get any better than the CHAMPIONS reaching out to the communities.

  29. Costas says:

    Jekyll and Hyde strikes again. It’s getting embarassing now.

  30. smartalex says:

    Liverpool spending over 100 million pounds sterling this window, which was effectively funded by the money stolen from the previous owners.

    Talibanana and the bunch of identity thieves should hang in the scouse forums.

  31. CedarsDevil says:

    Costas

    There is actually a third part to that equation, would make some fucked up weird movie

  32. FletchTHEMAN says:

    SmartAlex. Spot on lad. It isn’t just the money LPFC stole from the former owners, Take a look at what they are getting for their shirt deal. LP and MCFC doing the same thing. They get buddies to pump silly money into the club and then the rest of us are asked to prove where we make our own money. Then LP go to play pub teams cause it will sell shirts in some hole or another.

    Let em rot or, ban the lot!!!! Serious funny business in the EPL right now. I tell you what, if there isn’t a match fixing scam here in the next couple years it will be a miracle. All perspective is just flying out the window.

  33. jasonpark says:

    Good work united.

    @captaink9

    I don’t think park would do us justice in cm for the whole season hes to similar to flecther. Wee need someone who can dominate the Midfield. Sneijder maybe

  34. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Fletch, Yeah mate, our association with UNICEF predates Barca’s and we’ve been doing this for more than a decade now. As I said, it is another added reason for me to love this wonderful club.

    @Papii, Yeah mate, I ignore them always. I’ve had a few directed comments at me in the past all of which I’ve ignored. Responses are exactly what they seek and each time we bark at them, it only adds fuel to the fire.

    @Dave, There was an interesting story about Nike covering up for the wage loss Sneijder will have if he moves to United. I thought that was something worth noting in this entire saga which doesn’t look like it will be over for some time.

  35. King Eric says:

    Willie. Hello mate. Tufty was banned for considerably less.

    Nice one lads.

  36. Cyril Sneer says:

    @ Balaji – Evenin’ mate. Just about to read your review of HP, I’m not seeing it until next week. Check this out:

  37. Costas says:

    Forgot to say well done to the club for this gesture.

    @Cedars

    Yep. And who knows? It could be even more personas. i.e. the Facebook warrior as Balaji called him. :lol:

  38. King Eric says:

    Fletch. Hello pal. Tufty got banned for anti foreigner talk? Are you sure? Do not recall that. Thought it was because he just got Scotts back up with things like the “fear“ banner on the stretford end.

    Megleeker. You have a fucking nerve lad.

  39. shmoo says:

    evening yall…

    took the plunge and joined twatter yesterday….lol scott the red is the king of tweets….

    also im desperate for some followers..@kelly_jimmy feel free to add me :) ..

  40. willierednut says:

    King Eric – Hello mate. Yeah, I thought tufty got the boot for being an argumentative so and so lol. He disagreed with a lot of Scott’s posts.

  41. CedarsDevil says:

    Think I have this whole ‘clique’ thing figured out………. The ‘clique; are actually a group of 3 to 4 fucked up weirdos who post here, could actually be one deluded fucked up cunt posing as several people… The rest of the posters on RoM are just people interested in a debate, might agree or disagree at times…

  46. Fred says:

    Balaji – WE. WILL. GET. SNEIJDER. :twisted:

  47. willierednut says:

    The Clique has been disbanded. Only factions now. :evil:

  48. King Eric says:

    Goat. Half two mate english time.

    Willie. Yeah thought so mate.

    I have my suspicions about this nutjob and it aint pretty. Suffice to say RedScott with a double t was a clue.

    In the words of Ozzy Osbourne:

    I love you all; I love you more than life itself… but you’re all fucking mad. 8O

  53. Costas says:

    Didn’t the “clique” start out as the Acolytes? :lol:

  54. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    King Eric
    Cheers mate, oh what joy. Ever loyal will never miss a game.

    On another note people, and this will wind up the No to scneijder brigade. Ive looked at that Nike link again and it has changed Scneijder from Manchester United to Holland (not Inter). Weird??
    Still part of the ifs and buts, looked throught the squad today and I actually reckon its allright as it is and I would be happy without any more signings.
    Ive got Team 1
    DeGea, Rafael, erdinand, Vidic, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Anderson, Young, Rooney, Chico
    Team 2
    Lindegaard, Fabio, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Nani Fletcher, Giggs, Park, Owen, Berbatov.
    Extras
    Cleverly, Macheda, Wellbeck, Obertan, Gill, Amos, Morrison etc.

    Thats not bad. Either team 1 or 2 could beat Chelsea or Liverpool no problem.

  55. Cyril Sneer says:

    No, the Acolytes became the APA…

  56. smartalex says:

    Shine acolyte on me!

  57. mikekelly12 says:

    So, people still not believing Sir Alex on the Sneijder topic?

  58. Fred says:

    Better pray for your sins
    ‘Cause the Dutch messiah’s coming…

  59. CedarsDevil says:

    Willie

    Its Lord Cedric if you don’t mind

  60. Fred says:

    Costas & Cyril – DAMN!

  62. willierednut says:

    I’ll stick with old Cedric. :mrgreen:

  63. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Anyone got a link for the game tonight

  64. smartalex says:

    The locals are the acolytes. The wums are the ecoli’s.

  65. Fred says:

    What game, boss?

  66. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Fred United v Seattle

  67. King Eric says:

    No worries Goat. That’s an early start next thursday. Will have to get my swede down and set alarm.

    Hey up Fred you nutter. What the fuck is that twitpic link of? Is it arnold from different strokes birthday party? Fuck me that was a weird one. Where the fuck did you find that?

    Just seen fergies press conf and I am sure there is summat in this sneijder deal. He almost had a wry smile when asked and said he personally doesn’t know anything. He said no “real “ interest at “this moment in time“. He then proceeded to talk about replacing Paul. Oh and when initially asked he was fiddling with things on the table. Straw clutching ? Probably.

  68. RedMegleeker says:

    You see…it can be fun.

    Look lads wind your necks in, fortunately or unfortunately we all have one thing in common. You fellas have as much right to be here as I do or anyone else, all Im suggesting is a bit of gentlemanly conduct.

    Yip.

  69. Fred says:

    The Corinthians have made an improved offer for Carlo T. I’ve heard that the club is actually owned by Kia Gobjob’s company, MSI. Very fishy goings on. Anyway, let’s hope the twunt is gone for good now.

  70. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Argumentative, to the extreme won him no fans. Thought it really went up when he started saying
    some anti stuff to James. But maybe I didn’t pay close attention. When people start yelling I tend to turn the sound down. You might be right. In anyevent, is seems a bit of a pissing contest that went all wrong.
    For those who want to reminisce….
    http://therepublikofmancunia.com/video-from-the-stands-on-derby-day/

    Always good to have knowledgeable fans. Guys like Giles (battling against the mighty C) and Denton Davie and many others who been at it for decades. We get to know about families (Smurf and Emily) and when Costas lost his puss and D Davies lost duffy. For me, I enjoy that as well.

  71. King Eric says:

    Mike kelly. Hello mate. No I don’t believe Fergie! Put my reasons above.

    Goat. Fred United v Seattle. Ha nice one.

  72. willierednut says:

    Next game is on the 20th.

  73. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Is there no game tonight. Fuck im tired a cant think straight. Im sure I saw there was a game tonight.
    Please help

  74. smartalex says:

    “The boss told me when I came that he doesn’t care how you look, what your name is, your price tag or what your religion is because, if you’re good enough, you’re going to play,” Lindegaard said.
    “That’s the same with all the places at Manchester United. The best man plays and that’s how it is and how it should be.”

  75. captaink9 says:

    Goodnight Reds.

  76. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Oh thank god for that. Im really not up 4 it tonight absolutely buggered. If I was approached by a donkey now with the cob on for me I wouldnt be able to fight it off im that fucking knackered.

  77. Fred says:

    Goat – cheers! Didn’t realise the second game of the tour was so soon. :)

    King Eric – LOL you’re not clutching at straws at all. Thanks for your analysis of Fergie’s body language. I always look out for it too when I see managers being asked prying questions. Look for the tell-tale signs like scratching their ears or their noses when they answer and you can bet the buggers are telling a lie!

    With your new info and the tweet by this McGarry guy, I’m starting to believe again. :oops:

  78. willierednut says:

    FletchTHEMAN – I can’t remember you around that time, did you post under a different name?

  79. Fred says:

    The 20th? Goat you pisstaker! :lol:

    P.S. The gif is a young boy who has just heard the latest Sneijder news. 8) LOL I’ve seen it used on forums, that’s how I found it.

  80. CedarsDevil says:

    Fred

    Not a church goer personally but I have asked my niece to light a candle for both you and Balaji

  81. mikekelly12 says:

    King Eric , Fred, evening gents. I hope your both right. I’d love to see him in a United shirt. But my heads spinning on this one don’t know what to believe.

  82. willierednut says:

    I’d say, McGarry knows as much as me and you Fred. ;)

    He reports on Chelsea, most of the time.

  83. RedMegleeker says:

    Has Sneijder ever played club football at Old Trafford?

  84. smartalex says:

    Remember Michael Owen saying that he’d like to finish his career at united?
    “I would like to think that if I stop playing in three, four, five years time, whatever it may be, that I would still be involved in football and still have that as my profession. It is my passion and what I know.”
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/8641211/Manchester-United-striker-Michael-Owen-insists-horse-racing-rumours-are-non-starter.html

  85. The Fly says:

    I think we may have played Ajax in a pre-season game and he was probably playing. He’s not been to Old Trafford though yet.

  86. Cyril Sneer says:

    Don’t you just love it when Fergie fucks with the tabloids? They’re so desperate to know what’s going on, it’s great fun. Even if Sneijderman doesn’t sign for us it will be worth it just to see the papers look like cunts.

    Also, just seen an advert on TV and in one of the weekend papers fat ‘Arry is picking his ‘most likely transfers’. There’s a big picture of Sneijder with 40 million written on him. I wonder if he has Modric in there too?

  87. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    sorry Fred
    I just sett the boy off to bed and woke up like a bolt of lightning paniking I was going to miss a game. I convinced myself that I had seen we were playing tonight. To do with the confusion I had earlier because skysports have Uniteds next game as 23rd (missed one out). Sorry Im off now, night lads. baaaa

  88. RedMegleeker says:

    Yeah, don’t think he has to be fair, I think I’m still clutching at straws and that.

  89. Fred says:

    Night Goat. No worries about the mix-up. :)

  90. mikekelly12 says:

    Why’s they askin that twat who the most likely transfers are. Before the window even opened he was banging on about the signings city had already agreed that will blow everyones minds. Mind still waiting to be blown depudy dawg!!!

  91. Fred says:

    We expect Sneijder signed, how’s that for motivation, boss? :Joking, of course. :)

  92. Cyril Sneer says:

    Apparently Arry is ‘in the know’ about what happens at every club except his own.

  93. Rai says:

    RedMegleeker – Call me on 07732 695 098 you come out with sensible views and it would be good to meet you for a pint or two

  94. willierednut says:

    Rai – Put the gloves away you. ;)

  95. Fred says:

    LOL Cyril. The prick was going on about how he knew people high up at City and had been told that City had already got a few players in the bag who will “blow our brains out”. Yeah, fucking Clichy and some other no-mark. :roll:

  96. RedMegleeker says:

    The best thing to happen to “luvable ‘Arry” is the England job. Just watch the media thrash him when they go through a series of mediocre results again.

    He’ll go down, just like Piggott.

  97. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Willie, Thanks for asking mate. Been a United fan since the 70s been a ROM reader since 07-08. I read the blog for years before deciding I could contribute.
    Probably started posting a bit later but do recall exchanges with Tuffy. I still connect up with him at SEF from time to time and know him as a fan way back. Bet STR could say when I started on ROM. Lots of folks from the old blog are missed. I particularly miss the gals who have had the hutzpah to join in. Lot’s decide it isn’t worth it because of all the testosterone on here. I tend to enjoy it most when the red mist is blowing in and the old lads are talking history or exchanging a bit of banter with some poor pudlian out of their depth.

  98. Fred says:

    LOL Mike Kelly already said that. :oops: Anyway…

  99. willierednut says:

    Costas – Very worrying mate. Apart from leaving us short in that area, Fletch needs to give himself time to get healthy again.

  100. NBI Red Onion says:

    @ Clint-IAmYourPapii

    Dude – I like you but some of your rants at people who are “newcomers” on the blog and off-topic banter with your “buds” is sometimes a little irritating. No offence, but Scott polices this site, the rest of it are just guests and a gang mentality and critisicing people for having different opinions, however annoying, is a bit passe – n’est c’est pas? – Have a good night

  101. Cyril Sneer says:

    @ Mike Kelly & Fred – Maybe he’s planning to sell the bitters a few of his own world-class players. A Pavlyuchenko/Balotelli strikeforce would be great. I say great, I mean crap.

  102. mikekelly12 says:

    Harrys’ full of shit!! Doesn’t know how much his players earn? Give me a break!!

  103. Costas says:

    @willie

    You know, i find it hard to believe that Fletcher has been struck with a virus unknown to mankind. If our ace (sarcasm) medical team hasn’t been able to figure it out for 4 months now, maybe we should get someone else’s opinion. Before Fletcher’s weight drops to Victoria Beckham levels..

    Either way, I think the best way to prepare for his absence is to get a midfielder in a similar mode. That’s why I haven’t warmed up to the news about Sneidjer or Nasri. They are not what we should be looking for.

  104. willierednut says:

    FletchTHEMAN – Same as me then lol. I was a long time reader, before plucking up the courage to post. Yeah, a lot of the old guard have left, or don’t post as much as they used to. It gets heated on here from time to time. Sometimes, you get dragged into the arguments. You’ve got the right idea though. Watch from afar and enjoy the banter lol.

  105. mikekelly12 says:

    Cyril – pav at city would blow my mind!!! At how shit they could be!!!

  106. NBI Red Onion says:

    @ Costas

    I understand Fletcher has a form of glandular fever virus/ME which causes fatigue and is quite difficult to get over. It is not uncommon in atheletes because their immune system is supressed slightly due to the energy they spend.

  107. Fred says:

    Get well soon, Fletch.

  108. mikekelly12 says:

    Glandular fever is a fucker to get rid of. I had it and because it’s cellular u can’t take meds for it you have to ride it out. It can stay with you for anything upto 6/7 years!!

  109. Fred says:

    One door closes and another opens though. The need for another midfielder is even more pressing now…

  110. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Costas,

    We already have our man.
    Draft Scholes! He still looks mean enough! Hasn’t been to long that he will have forgotten his way!
    Bring in Cleverley as well and get Gibbo back for another year.

    Right, 11-12 is sorted!

  111. CedarsDevil says:

    Just a thought, wonder how much a modern day Bryan Robson would cost?

    If the wee Wes is rated at 35m…..What sort of a price would we put on Robbo?

  112. Fred says:

    Holy shit, Mike! 8O Let’s pray that Fletcher doesn’t have it that bad. :(

    @NBI

    Yeah, but does it come and go though? Because Fletcher made a return at the end of last season and supposedly he was over the virus. Or maybe he should have been after a month’s rest. Don’t know what to make of it. Hopefully Sir Alex will provide an update soon. If the story is true of course.

  114. Fred says:

    Robbo would cost us 30 million sheets, easily.

    Thumbs up

  116. CedarsDevil says:

    Fred – Nasty, yet funny!

  117. willierednut says:

    Just to echo Mikekelly12, It’s like getting hit 5 upper cuts in a row, from Mike Tyson. A young Tyson, not the later one lol. Not a nice thing to get.

  118. willierednut says:

    Cedric is back, I see. :lol:

  119. Costas says:

    @mike

    6-7 years out for Fletcher could mean 6-7 more years of Gibson. ROM meltdown. :lol:

    @FletchTHEMAN

    As things are unfolding, we could very well bring back Scholesy, lol. The problem for me is that none of our other midfielders can do the job that Fletcher does for us. The closest that comes to mind is Anderson. We’ll see. If we don’t sign anyone, I have to admit that I will get quite nervous about our midfield’s potential.

    You can get different strains of it. I was washed out for a year and then started getting more energy. A few years later I got a milder strain called cytomegalovirus !!

    Robbo – £80m easily!!!!

  121. NBI Red Onion says:

    If that is indeed what he has, it should be over usually in 7 weeks but:

    “If the glandular fever fatigue continues, the scenario is often reffered to as post viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS) or chronic fatigue (CFS). If fatigue and symptoms persist for more than 6 months after the acute glandular fever, it can be referred to as M.E. (Myalgic Encephalopathy).

    Most of the acute glandular fever symptoms disappear after a few weeks. Rest for at least a month is ideal. Symptoms can continue, on an off, for a few months, but in some cases much longer.
    In a number of cases, 100% health and energy levels are not regained afterwards. It seems that on-going troubles tend to persist in those glandular fever cases which were either: particulalry harsh; had some sort of liver involvement during the acute illness; where no time was taken off from work during the acute phase and where the body was pushed too far, too early on in recovery.”

    Cyril Sneer – 50p and a bag of monkey nuts.
    Vin Diesel – Awesome.

    NBI Red Onion -
    I appreciate your views and in future I’ll try to keep the the Off Topic Banter off RoM But with this being a summer transfer window time, comments easliy stray off and I carry on so I apologise for it being Irratating. I know Scott Polices this Blog, I try to stay out of it by recently suggesting to ignore the trolls and by calling them by their nicknames out of amusement.

    In future if my comments stray off topic while conversing with my “buds” I’ll be the first to steer it back on track.

    Costas – I said Facebook Warrior 8)

    Meanwhile in other news, I agree with Rio when he says “why we aint referred to as the favourites” When Clearly we dominated the last Decade in the premier league & we have the best manager and squad out of all 20 clubs.

  131. CedarsDevil says:

    Fred

    My bad, I thought your reference to sheets was the treatment table! LOL

  132. FletchTHEMAN says:

    mikekelly12 and NBI Red Onion
    RE Glandular Fever. Yeah, you lads are just full of good news then.

    Right, I am off to dream positive healthy thoughts about my man Darron Fletcher.
    Pre 2008 final form for him is my only plan till morning. Kumbaya and all that!

    Keep if red lads.

  133. wayne says:

    @willie yes mate anytime classic monty pyhton fits gotta get it in,life of brian one of my all time favs

  134. willierednut says:

    Cedrics losing it… :mrgreen:

  135. mikekelly12 says:

    Right that’s me, off to get my beauty sleep. Godspeed fellow reds

  136. CedarsDevil says:

    Cyril

    You for 50p? Piss take, 2p at best

  137. NBI Red Onion says:

    @ Clint-IAmYourPapii

    xoxo

  138. CedarsDevil says:

    I feel the love

  139. King Eric says:

    Clint. Alright mate. Not quite sure why Rio made that remark as we ARE the favourites at every bookie.

  140. Cyril Sneer says:

    @ Cedars – 2p!! I’m worth a good 50p I tell ya. I’ll have you know I was third choice reserve defender at school, and we played proper football too, not this sissy-boy, rolling around on the floor, kick a balloon nonsense. Even now i’d be better than Djourou and faster than JT. :lol:

  141. Fred says:

    @Zelh and anyone else who is interested, this business about Fletcher’s virus returning and him being told to stay away from Carrington was actually broken by Partytown on Red Issue a while ago. This gives more credibilty to this guy as a genuine ITK and therefore lends more credibilty to his recent claims that we ARE after Sneijder. 8) (Also disproving the BBC man’s report that United were never interested in the Balding Dutchman.) :)

    REG: Listen. If you wanted to join the P.F.J., you’d have to really hate the Romans.

    BRIAN: I do!

    REG: Oh, yeah? How much?

    BRIAN: A lot!

    REG: Right. You’re in. Listen. The only people we hate more than the Romans are the fucking Judean People’s Front.

    P.F.J.: Yeah…

    JUDITH: Splitters.

    P.F.J.: Splitters…

    FRANCIS: And the Judean Popular People’s Front.

    P.F.J.: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Splitters. Splitters…

    LORETTA: And the People’s Front of Judea.

    P.F.J.: Yeah. Splitters. Splitters…

    REG: What?

    LORETTA: The People’s Front of Judea. Splitters.

    REG: We’re the People’s Front of Judea!

    LORETTA: Oh. I thought we were the Popular Front.

    REG: People’s Front! C-huh.

    FRANCIS: Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Reg?

    REG: He’s over there.

    P.F.J.: Splitter!

    I got four calves balls and a 50 cent piece.

  145. willierednut says:

    I think Fred’s losing the plot as well. Zelh no here. :lol:

  146. willierednut says:

    Fred? I’m here. :roll:

  147. Zibbie says:

    The Knight that got both arms and legs cut off and still wanted to fight! Not that good but a lot of heart. A gamer.Plays hurt.

  148. Zibbie says:

    wow Fletch still sick. Get well soon lad.

  149. Zibbie says:

    willie wont go home.
    you ever here your name sake song? MG would know it.

  150. Zibbie says:

    Tired eyes. Go Man Utd !!!!

  151. willierednut says:

    Blah.

  152. Fred says:

    I know Zelh isn’t here, but there’s a chance he might come here later or tomorrow. When he does, he’ll see my message. :) I addressed it to him in particular because he is the one who was talking about Partytown the other day.

  153. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    King Eric – Im Good, how about you?

    I think the purpose of Rio saying that was to remind critics of United that they deserve more recognition for the sucessful season we had and that not enough praise has been served at United’s Plate in comparison to past league winners. Media claim we was the best out of a bad bunch.

    But the way I see it is that with the Influx of more Money and new ownerships in the PL, every club has reasonable funds available to strenghthen teams which has lead to a more compettitve league. The relegation battle going down to the last day and finishing with 40 Points yet getting relegated proves this claim.

    This has ultimately led to more big teams dropping more points and United have won the most matches and gained the most points to finish 9 points clear (?) yet we’re called the Best out of a League with Underperfoming big teams.

    Bullshit 20th Awaits ;)

  154. wayne says:

    that was holy grail not life of brian

  155. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    I Like Anders LindeGuard :lol:

    The guys got a fantastic attitude and seems like a sound keeper and similar to Arsenals Snezcechy in terms of technique and ability.

    ‘I didn’t come to United to sit on the bench and watch football as a privileged fan. I’m here to play and make my way and earn my respect.”

  159. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Jasonpark – I have an informant they has just informed me, we are on the brink of completing a deal for Charles N’zogbia and we have just put in a bid of £44M for Carlos Tevez.
