Valencia – Player of the Year

Antonio Valencia was named the Manchester United player of the year, as voted for by the players, taking over form Nani.

“It’s great that they’ve put their trust in me,” said Valencia. “I’m very pleased that I have their support.”

Valencia also won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year, with 37% of the fans voting for him. Rooney came 2nd with 24% and Scholes 3rd with 12%.

Valencia also won goal of the season for his strike against Blackburn to put us 1-0 up at Ewood Park.

“I am very happy to receive all three awards,” said Valencia. “After last night, the longest night of my life, I will take heart from this. There should be 20 of these awards because all of my team-mates deserve one. I’d like to thank them and to thank my fans at home in Ecuador and Manchester United fans everywhere.”

The Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year is Mats Daehli, taking over from Ryan Tunnicliffe.

The Denzil Haroun Reserve Team Player of the Year is Michael Keane, taking over from Oliver Gill.

    I hate Tevéz

  3. Vidic says:

    That troll should be slaughtered.

  4. RedScot says:

    Much deserved Antonio Valencia winning the award, he has been just majestic this season , a steal from Wigan.I liked the interaction between him and his interpretator , Antonio is so professional , humble and very rarely smiles .The lads look as if they are having a brilliant time at the awards.
    Agree with Matts Daehli. also a wee tiger in midfield.
    Micheal Keane wins the reserve team player of the year, eat your heart out Will. lol
    Good god Mandy Henry in that blue cocktail dress ,is no half decent., there are young men watching Mandy.

  5. gazzer says:

    Valencia is turning into a monster. Getting better all the time. It’s rare to see a winger who looks like he could kick your ass!

  6. AlphaRS says:

    Valencia has been fantastic for United.
    Well done Tony V.

  7. CedarsDevil says:

    Hello you RED fucking beauties!!

    Cedars now back in the land of the cedars and reporting back to RoM…..

    What have I missed, what have I missed? Have we signed anyone yet, have we signed anyone yet??

    Oh and well done Tony, well deserved…

  8. Costas says:

    Would have gone with Carrick personally. Tony V and Evans are right behind though. Rooney will probably win the fans award.

  9. OBIOHA says:

    he deserves it

  10. James21 says:

    Cedars
    Yes Paul Scholes.

  11. iced earth says:

    best winger of the planet

  12. James21 says:

    costas
    I Agree in Boochy kind of way. :D
    Evans is the most improved player for me.

  13. James21 says:

    Why are there blue underlined words in some posts?

  14. Vidic says:

    Valencia = Beast. As for the transfer talk Kagawa would be great at 7 million . For me hes definitely worth 25 million. Secondly getting Vidic back would be like a new signing worh 100 million

  15. Costas says:

    @James

    Anyone agree or disagree? :D

  16. CedarsDevil says:

    James

    Cheers mate, some player that Scholes, liked the look of him during his first few months for us this year, glad we have him full time now……. No blue lines as far as I am concerned!

  17. CedarsDevil says:

    More Boochy style…… ‘Hello everyone on this site’ !!! ha ha ha

    Is it me or did Zibbie make an appearance recently?

  18. James21 says:

    Cedars and costas
    I Agree. :)

  19. James7t7 says:

    James – blue underlined.. looks like possible advertising… Id have gone for Evans or Young… I just think Youngs attitude of recent weeks… tips it for me

  20. Mikekelly12 says:

    Marro me old mucker
    You missed Tevez being a proper cunt!!

  21. Costas says:

    More Boochy style: “I have a question for everyone on this site. Will United win the league”? :)

  22. CedarsDevil says:

    Personally I blame the Greeks…….You know, the ones bearing gifts etc…Trying to take over the world with their kebabs, ouzo and various other strong alcoholic beverages!!

    Few more days in Cyprus and I would have been converted…..

    Beware of Costas fellas, he will take you down, down I tell ya!!! ha ha ha

  23. Utd4life says:

    Congratulations to Valencia, Matt and Michael.
    P.S Tevez is a cunt.

  24. James7t7 says:

    One thing I would say about Valencia (Was immense in our run of tough away games) is that he still needed interpreter in the awards… would have thought he would have been able to say a few words after 6 years? in the prem?

  25. James21 says:

    James 7t7
    This Blogs getting worse than Channel 4 for advertising.

    Really pleased for Tony V he’s a class act.
    Evans and Young are learning what it really means to play for Man Utd.

    shitty are welcome to the French Fishfaced fucker, Kettleneck and Neanderthal Beloteli.

  26. CedarsDevil says:

    Monkey!!

    Can you believe that I read about that cunt on the plane? What a horrible little bastard

  27. James21 says:

    James7t7
    He can , ‘It was 50/50′ thats more words than Kettleneck can manage. :D

  28. ianoha says:

    Tony V gets the best goal award n well deserved!!!!!

  29. James7t7 says:

    Yeah it be like the states soon! … it was good awards tonight… some good interviews with the players

  30. Costas says:

    Ah, Nani at the Shield for me. Best piece of football we’ve seen all season.

  31. slouchie1472 says:

    Lets just hope he can have an injury free season and watch him fly

  32. Utd4life says:

    Cedars. He is indeed a horrible little bastard. Ungrateful cunt. What this ultimately shows is that City are small time and a bunch of low life fuckwits who got lucky this year.

  33. Costas says:

    Tevez said he didn’t mean any disrespectl. Neither will Vidic when he breaks him in half.

    @Cedars

    Unlike most Greeks, I am not that generous. :lol:

  34. James21 says:

    King Eric said shitty have issued an apology for the Teves poster.
    Not seen anything as yet. Classless twats.

  35. stretfordenderzed says:

    I can’t seriously believe “tony v” has won this award are people blind or is it just me not only is he the most predictable of our wingers he doesn’t possess a left foot, I’ve seen babies dribble better! Infact i dont recollect him ever dribbling past a player or using any degree of skill to beat a man,He’s void of any ideas when he eventually gets past his man which he can only do so when a ball is knocked past him to run onto, if premier league defenders had anything about them they would show him inside every time and watch him panic as he has no idea what to do, he has no plan B to be honest I don’t think he’s got a plan A and to have been in this country for years and still require a translater is beyond a joke, I’ve no idea what everyone sees in him so I’m bracing myself for a backlash but he’s dog vomit, we need a winger who can beat his man not one who stops running and passes it back, I could name you about 5 players who deserve the award, de gea, Rooney, Evans, carrick and scholes. oh and his shooting is woeful I know everyone will go what about his goal at Ewood park but what about all the ones he has smashed wide or over! He’s a Wigan class player not united class. Rant over hopefully some people agree,and as for people calling him a beast, being the best winger on the planet and looking like he could kick your arse! He would miss it!!!

  36. CedarsDevil says:

    All this James talking to James is fucking my head up!

    Utd4life – We always knew that about him though did we not my young friend? The guy is just plain stupid, all the money in the world yet plain fucking stupid

  37. Costas says:

    Imo Carrick got underrated through all this. Take Valencia out and we still had a couple of very good wingers. Take Carrick out and we were fucked in midfield this season. Nonetheless, congrats to Tony V!

  38. Xyth says:

    Interesting comment by a Canadian guy in the Daily Mail:

    “Congratulations Man. City. However Barclays Premier League had a lot to do with the result. Both the games at the Etihad and Stadium of Light were told to delay the restart after half time. The City game, because of delays in the first half would normally have restarted 4mins after United’s game. So the League said to be fair both games must start at the same time so United’s half time was 20mins. However the Bolton-Stoke game restarted normally and with the 4.5 mins added time it finished just as the other two games were finishing regulation time and of course before the added 5 mins. The QPR fans responded to being safe in response to Bolton losing at then of regulation time at the Etihad and the players of course picked up on that and began to celebrate. Hence the reason for the two late City goals.
    - Patrick Dowling, Edmonton Canada, 14/5/2012 20:54″

  39. ianoha says:

    wow he`s done it again, i really thought rooney would get that but happy for tony v….he`s got his own man united treble

  40. James21 says:

    Cedars
    I’ll talk to anyone. Just a fucking Chatterbox me. :D

  41. CedarsDevil says:

    Costas

    Not in my books, to me you are one proper RED, a true gent and as decent as they come…..

    Que the violins and love songs!!

    You are my Costas, my only Costas you make me happy when skies are grey!

  42. Fred says:

    Xyth – not to mention that both Stoke goals against Bolton were highly dubious. I knew there was a conspiracy afoot… :x

  43. Costas says:

    Funniest part of the night was MUTV’s poll on the streets to see who the fans voted player of the year. 3 of them mentioned Giggs (!), none mentioned Carrick. :lol:

    Ironically, the guy that made a clean sweep of awards tonight didn’t start the biggest game of the season. Fickle isn’t it?

    @Cedars

    No violins please! I am not one for romance. :lol:

  44. Mikekelly12 says:

    Xyth
    It’s plainly obvious that QPR with 10 men were more than holding their own and it’s no coincidence that they only cracked after hearing they were safe!!

  45. Costas says:

    @Xyth

    Cheers. Interesting. I expected our 2nd half against Sunderland to be delayed, but it never crossed my mind that the same thing should have happened at Stoke. Or every other Premiership game that day really. Like I said yesterday, City won it on mere details.

  46. Mikekelly12 says:

    Would be nice to have seen what would have happened had QPR been unaware of their fate. Annoying but thats how it’s been played out!!

  47. James7t7 says:

    lol @Cedars

    Interesting how Evra was the only one who said it how it is tonight and fair play to him.

  48. Costas says:

    Tevez, who spent two years at Old Trafford before leaving for City in 2009, said: “I got carried away in the excitement of the moment and I certainly didn’t mean any disrespect to Sir Alex Ferguson, who I admire as a man and a manager.”

    Just die.

  49. James7t7 says:

    From a QPR Blog:

    But I was disappointed by all of the goals we conceded, the third which decided the title was a mistake from the bench who failed to control their emotions and distracted all of our players. And in a flash, City scored and won the title. I say this because it’s important to maintain dignity and integrity,

    Integrity…ha ha dont make me laugh… wouldn’t have been saying that if Stoke had lied down and conceded 2 goals in last few mins against Bolton.

  50. MG says:

    I’ll have the violins and love songs

    :lol:

  51. Redbilly says:

    Tevez – act in haste …. He fits the club perfectly.

  52. MG says:

    I’ll talk to the chatterbox because I’m chatterbox the sequel and in my version he’s drinking!

    :lol:

  53. Redbilly says:

    Hames 7t7- the Bolton update was released for that very purpose. QPR’s fate was set and they switched off , exactly what they wanted.

  54. iced earth says:

    shity said in a statement that “the creation of the tasteless material is in itself reprehensible and in accepting and brandishing it, Carlos has made a significant error of judgment.”shity added that it “wishes to express its sincerest apologies to Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United Football Club for any offense or distress caused.”
    nik ta putain de mere tevez

  55. MG says:

    shitty apologising to United?

    Fuck off – you want to do it because that’s all you got – can’t even celebrate winning a gifted fucking title in peace – got to drag us in

  56. James7t7 says:

    RedBilly… yeah… so noone can say that there is integrity in our league

    West Ham back in 95 parked a fleet of buses in the form of Micklosko

    Whereas Stevie Me….gifted the title with his backpass to Drogba and QPR gift it to City

    Joke!

  57. iced earth says:

    United Chief Executive David Gill has declared that he will back his manager in the transfer market but is well aware of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play plans.”Funds are available without a doubt,” Gill said.”We can still pay very well in terms of wages and transfer fees. Clearly City have raised the bar again. We have seen that with what they are prepared to pay for players and to them.”But we need to move on. Financial Fair Play is just around the corner.”It is a flagship programme for Michel Platini and how that is implemented and the sanctions that are imposed are going to be interesting.”

  58. Mikekelly12 says:

    James7t7
    Fucking annoying!!! Like I said be nice if it had been played out professionally. A pound to a piece of shit that we’d be champions this evening had QPR still been playing for a point!

  59. MG says:

    Goodnight United

  60. iced earth says:

    Raiola said: “If it had been an easy choice [for Pogba], he would have made it by now. As things stand it is more likely that he goes away from Manchester. I’m still in Brazil and back on Friday. We will deal with it then.”I can only say that from my point of view that Ferguson is top of the world. If he [Pogba] leaves Manchester, it is not because of Ferguson. If Ferguson had not been there, he [Pogba] would have left already.”Even in our discussions, hearing from him has been amazing and fascinating. He captures like no other manager the essence of football. My opinion is not far away from how Paul thinks of him.”
    no doubt it s about money,anyway no regrets he leavs us

  61. Fred says:

    Raiola’s statement translated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdUVKP58g5g

  62. Awenn says:

    Its all a conspiracy. What with onuoha openly saying in press he wanted city to win league of qpr were safe and then the man he’s supposed to be marking in dying seconds gets a clear shot on goal – Cheating bastard!

  63. TheCANTONA says:

    Tevez DIE u cunt!!
    Not even liverpool or leeds players would ever pull out a poster like that!

  64. dannysoya LOVES SIAN MASSEY says:

    Congrats Valencia on winning it. You deserve it. Why is anybody surprised with Carlos Tevez and Manchester City? Nothing that club does surprises me anymore. They are more than capable of stooping to the lowest of lows. Instead of celebrating the best thing that has happened to your club since the beginning of time, you choose to take a dig at your far more successful neighbours. Shows where exactly their priorities are.

  65. Mikekelly12 says:

    Has anyone watched the city game? Just to satisfy my curiosity, did QPR switch off after the Bolton score was announced. Sir Alex mentioned it in his speech this evening and its really bugging me now.

  66. Costas says:

    Pogba still hasn’t made his decision? Dear me, what a loser.

  67. jay4manutd says:

    @mikekelly you noticed for city second goal,no one contested with dzeko,for a team that defended heroically for previous 90min,it was a shame.they knew they were safe and they switched off(handed the title to city).all good saying we have ourself to blame(8point gap)but Qpr was rubbish,wish they went down.and hearing their assistant manager saying him and hughes had a gud past with them(mancity)makes all sickening.on the positive side,hearing SAF interview tonight just feels me with renew hope and am over yersterday completely.Bring on next season,We will rule.

  68. TheCANTONA says:

    @Danny soya:
    oh yeah i do still suprise to find how low that bastard could act. that was beyond my mind, not even Livpool nor leeds players could ever done that IMO.
    And If next season our lads dont respons well to that shitty bastards they could also hang themselves up!
    Oh, Pogba CAN FUCK OFF right now!!! Go away u prick!

  69. Dont Stop Beleiving says:

    “I don’t know how you managed to stand up (for his standing ovation) after yesterday – I’ve been horizontal for the last 24 hours! Oh, what a day, Jesus Christ! We don’t deserve that. You supporters, how you put up with that I don’t know. These guys they did their best, honestly, they were fantastic, well done boys. They were brilliant, brilliant boys. I read an article this morning – the Racing Post – the only paper I read by the way! Says that we need 8 new players, Jesus Christ! First of all where do you get 8 players, and why do I need 8 players? I have got a lot of young players here who are evolving into the club, of course I’ve got the old masters Giggs and Scholes and Ferdinand and most importantly, and you know you’re not understand this, but I’ve got a fantastic staff. Fantastic. The medical staff, the sports science who bloody hell, they are bright boys, they talk stuff that I have never heard of before and hope I never hear again! They are beyond my intellect. I’m a dinosaur, I’m an absolute dinosaur but what I am, I’m a winner. And I want all these players and I said it to them yesterday, when we lost the league to Leeds United in 1992 the young players came out that day and the Liverpool supporters were asking for their autographs, Giggs, Scholes, Neville, Beckham, and they were tearing them up, tearing their autographs up. And I said to Giggs and the boys ‘remember this day’, and exactly what I said to them yesterday – those Sunderland fans were cheering for city, remember the day. We won’t forget that, I’m telling you. So well done to the players, a fantastic group, they will be alright, don’t worry about them, a great bunch of lads, brilliant, well done boys.”—Sir Alex Ferguson

  70. Dont Stop Beleiving says:

    No words can describe this man.

    Every generation has a man who is considered to be peerless. he walks like a giant, evoking respect and awe from and foe alike,

    Sir Alex Fergurson. Not a day goes by that we dont thanks our stars that we have you sir.
    Thank you for bringing a smile to me for the last 10 years. I owe you my happiness.

    UNITED

  71. Wakey says:

    I get the feeling with Pogba that he wants to stay but he is young so the whispering in his ear by his agent and other parties who have other motives are turning his head. It can’t be the easiest thing to decide when you have an agent wanting a massive payoff so pushing you one way and also no doubt having a club like Juve who are Probally making fairly empty promises of first team action immediately to try and snatch him for a bargin fee

  72. TheCANTONA says:

    @Dont Stop:
    thank u mate!
    That was great words from SAF, really really lifted me up.

  73. Dont Stop Beleiving says:

    @TheCANTONA:

    Dont worry about it. Anytime. This is exactly what we need.

    And a couple of good signings

    :D
    Sorry couldn’t resist it .

  74. Utd4life says:

    @Dont stop. Thank you and I mean thank you for posting that. As long as the Gaffer has faith in the lads then that is good enough for me.

  75. Dont Stop Beleiving says:

    @Utd4life.

    Too right mate. The boss has been winning trophies for 30 years. He has much more intellect than all the ABUs combined.

  76. TheCANTONA says:

    That was wonderful & powerful words from Sir Alex, surely it’ll bring effect to the players.
    Heh, I couldnt resist about transfer talk too :) a Kagawa and a Javi Martinez will do fine for me.

  77. Dont Stop Beleiving says:

    TheCantona:

    I know!i am really excited about the kagawa rumours.As someone who watches Dortmund play a lot, i can say he is an extremely good player. But suffers from the fact that Goetze overshadows him.
    Which incidentally will play into our hands.
    7 million would be a steal!
    :D

  78. WeAreUnited says:

    Congrats to Valencia, though i think that he disappeared after the blakcburn 50/50 winner goal :) ))P

    he played way below his standards after that. It could have been also Carrick or Evans, but considering all Antonio deserves this, he was great.

    CMON UNITED!

  79. Sandeep1878 says:

    I m shocked!! but what else you can expect from classless players?

    It doesnt martter who gave the placard to him..

    But this is very disgraceful act..

    i dont think Tevez will escape the aftermath of it from we United fans..

    Cunt..

    Never wished any one harm before, but this cunt deserves my bad wishes..

    Sir Alex will come back and trash you Argie cunt!!

  80. Marq says:

    Someone should print out pictures of Tevez holding that banner and paste it in the dressing room to show the players how badly they have let Sir Alex down, letting him get this kind of abuse

  81. Sandeep1878 says:

    Good morning reds around the world,

    Congratulations to the Beast and the new keano and the new Sheringham..

  82. Dont Stop Beleiving says:

    @Sandeep:

    So true mate. it felt like this time he crossed a limit. And i am sure somewhere he will be punished. makes you stop and think how lucky we are that we have legends Like Sir Bobby, giggsy, Scholes, Red nev.
    All of them loved winning, hated city and have won lost at times too. But never have they gone down to disgrace themselves and club to such extent.

    When you see muppets like these and compare them to people like Vida , then we realize how lucky we are.

    UNITED

  83. Utd4life says:

    Marq. The players did let the Gaffer down but what that ungrateful, argie cunt did was uncalled for and absolutely disgraceful. City can celebrate for now but there will be a response. Like the Gaffer said, City will be here and so will he.

  84. Sandeep1878 says:

    Don’t Stop Believing,

    You are right mate, with the kind of legends, history, achievements we have got, this cunt is not even good enough to be our toilet paper..

    City has apologized, but that wont lessen the disgraceful act.

    Payback is expected for sure, one way or the other..

  85. Sandeep1878 says:

    Morning Utd4life, Marq and Don’t stop believing,

    Good day reds,

    Gonna be one hell of a summer trip in this blog :P

  86. Utd4life says:

    As for Pogba, I am pretty certain he is going to leave but it still befuddles the fuck out of me as to why he would chose to go to Juve. Yes, Juve are a great club with a rich history and tradition but they are not exactly known for developing youth. Anyways, we have lost players 1000 times better than Pogba and have continued winning trophies so I will not be unduly worried if or when he leaves.

  87. Utd4life says:

    Good morning Sandeep. I had no idea that City had it in them to stoop so low but guess I was wrong. Anyways, fuck those Neanderthals, I am more worried about how I will survive 3 months without my fav team in action.

  88. Sandeep1878 says:

    Utd4life,

    same here pal, Dint expect the way it happened..

    ##

    so i m thinking this is my best 3 months to make my career and get settled in life because the rest 9 months we are busy with United.. :)

  89. samuel - united WE stand says:

    The sooner pogba fucks off to juventus, the better. Tired of the never ending rumours that doesn’t seem to have a conclusion. Pogba is just like any mercenary, money is the name of the game these days. He used united as a stepping stone, just like he did with his first team Le havre, and well true colours are showing now. Au revior!!!

  90. Sandeep1878 says:

    The City is yours, the city is yours you can’t fill Manchester’s streets are you fucking sure?

    ##

    Samuel,

    Morning mate,

    Yup its time we stopped talking about this dumb Pogba..

  91. ed says:

    Carlos is just ignorant and uneducated. Surely there is some kind of educational committee in the region that can help the lovely chap?

    Well done Valencia.

  92. Sparkz says:

    Good luck to Pogba if he thinks a young black kid won’t get abused on the terraces of Italy…..

    Anyway, we focus on us. As Fergie said in his interview, we do what we’re best at. I’m guessing that means players with potential rather than the finished article. Sneijder last summer was an exception, because he was a proven, already developed player. But with Scholesy around for another season and Carrick stepping up another level….Fergie probably thinks that’s enough in terms of experienced midfielders.

    12 months time, you’ll be looking back on that speech he made at the ceremony tonight, and you’ll realise that was the foundation of our title bid next season. What a speech, what a man.

  93. Ash says:

    Bit off topic- I have a mixed feeling regarding scholes and giggs playing one more season. Obviously like every true united fan I am happy I will be able to enjoy the magic of these two legends for one more season BUT I am a bit sad also.

    Don’t get me wrong but I feel Giggs was awful in last few games for us. Especially that wigan game where we lost he was have a forgettable game. Maybe his worst performance that I have witnessed. I really hope we don’t depend on them and start with either of one in every single game. As much as it pains to accept but I have to say them playing regularly isn’t helping our club’s future. These two should be more of a mentor than regular players.

    Its very difficult to see us winning against a top opposition when we start with these two legends. My love and respect for them will remain forever but we have to be reasonable and think about the benefits of the club.

    If scholes and giggs are again our solution for next season then Sir alex is joking with us and with the club

  94. Ash says:

    And by the way Tevez can fuck off. Now city are showing true colours . THey are disgrace to football and tevez and ballotelli are the real cunts. Can’t stand their faces. Motherfuckers.

  95. 3RedStars says:

    Enjoy it now, City. You’re great footballers, but you’ve got some real douchebags on your side. You won’t defend the title because you’re not class. You can buy great footballers, but you can’t buy class. Enjoy your parade and take lots of pictures because this is your last parade for a long time. And keep the noise down.
    Well done Valencia. Well said SAF. Vidic, go get that cunt Tevez.

  96. Marq says:

    Exactly, their low life behaviour will be our best motivation next season

  97. Dont Stop Beleiving says:

    @Ash:

    i think including SAF knows that these two cant be used regularly. More as impact subs and provide experience to the squad. In terms of season i feel it was quite a poor one for giggsy by his very high standards. What we need to do is that keep these two but at the same time reinforce as well
    and as for benefits its simple as that. if you are Tom Cleverly , just imagine the benefit of training day in and day out with players who have won everything that is there to be won.

    At times when we face hardships its the old hands who will steady the ship

    UNITED

  98. mancdub says:

    I was busy yesterday and I’ve only  just seen the footage of Tevez on the bus.
    It is a fucking disgrace.    
    The cunt deserves to die for that.
    I never once sang his name or praised him when he played for us.
    I never forgave him for the Scholes headbutt. 
    Next season I would like to see Paul finish the little cunts career with one of his special tackles.
    Poetic justice Keano style.

  99. mancdub says:

    Well done Antonio Valencia.
    The best right winger in Europe.

  100. ROMancing-the-Reds says:

    Remember the day, City. Remember it. Remember the placard. Do not forget it, because we won’t. And that is a promise.

    PS: Trying on the new moniker – is it any good or should I just go back to plain old Jeet?

  101. Shebangsthedrums says:

    Just seen the footage of Tevez with that banner, he truly lacks class and city should get rid if they want to be taken seriously. Just shows though, they can’t get away from United, even in victory, their bitterness comes through!

  102. Shebangsthedrums says:

    Well done Tony V, good choice, I personally would have chosen Carrick, he is certainly our unsung hero.

  103. Corea says:

    +

    Great season for him.
    Would have been as great for Young if not for injury.

  104. RedHound says:

    I HOPE SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY, REALLY , REALLY HORRIBLE HAPPENS TO TEVEZ, SOMETHING LIKE SOMEONE LOCKING HIM IN HIS HOUSE AS IT BURNS TO ITS MISERABLE END, HE WOULDNT RECOVER FROM THOSE BURNS

    There, i wont be making such a post again.

  105. T. says:

    The troll shows the class of the bitter blues.So he official statement from City says it wasn´t intended to be disrespectful. Well guess what. I can´t for one second believe one human being can´t be so useless in writen english that he doesn´t understand what the fuckin sign means. can somebody make a nice little roundhouse kick in his face when u see the ugly fuckin troll next time. Hate that fuckin twat. Not like he deserved to win the trophy anyway, Why is he even celebrating with a tema he hates so much? Gahhhhhh….

  106. T. says:

    On another side. Well deserved Tony V. Only De Gea deserved it more.

  107. RedHound says:

    mancdub

    A nice scenario would be Scholes finishing his career with a gruesome tackle, and then lifting a shirt celebrating his achievement. Ferguson would then hail Scholes and the Queen would give him a knighthood for ridding the world of an incredible wanker. It would also be nice if Tevez had his leg amputated, while still on a 10 year contract with Man City.

  108. Costas says:

    @Wakey

    I think I remember his agent saying that he advised him to accept UNited’s offer. Don’t know if he has anyone else in his life pushing him towards Juve, but it’s not Raiola. It’s not shocking though is it? Pogba left Le Havre high and dry for the money and he’s doing the same again.

  109. RedManWalking says:

    “I don’t know how you managed to stand up (for his
    standing ovation) after yesterday – I’ve been
    horizontal for the last 24 hours! Oh, what a day, Jesus
    Christ! We don’t deserve that. You supporters, how you
    put up with that I don’t know. These guys they did
    their best, honestly, they were fantastic, well done
    boys. They were brilliant, brilliant boys.

    I read an article this morning – the Racing Post – the
    only paper I read by the way! Says that we need 8 new
    players, Jesus Christ! First of all where do you get 8
    players, and why do I need 8 players? I have got a lot
    of young players here who are evolving into the club,
    of course I’ve got the old masters Giggs and Scholes
    and Ferdinand and most importantly, and you know you’re
    not understand this, but I’ve got a fantastic staff.
    Fantastic. The medical staff, the sports science who
    bloody hell, they are bright boys, they talk stuff that
    I have never heard of before and hope I never hear
    again! They are beyond my intellect.

    I’m a dinosaur, I’m an absolute dinosaur but what I am,
    I’m a winner. And I want all these players and I said
    it to them yesterday, when we lost the league to Leeds
    United in 1992 the young players came out that day and
    the Liverpool supporters were asking for their
    autographs, Giggs, Scholes, Neville, Beckham, and they
    were tearing them up, tearing their autographs up. And
    I said to Giggs and the boys ‘remember this day’, and
    exactly what I said to them yesterday – those
    Sunderland fans were cheering for city, remember the
    day. We won’t forget that, I’m telling you. So well
    done to the players, a fantastic group, they will be
    alright, don’t worry about them, a great bunch of lads,
    brilliant, well done boys.”

    - Sir Alex Ferguson

    I see us bringing back the trophy next season with that speech!

  110. Voice of reason says:

    Had a dialogue on here last week with@Wayne about Stoke v Bolton – told you @Wayne ! Pl made sure united and city games were synced but why – stoke v Bolton was far more relevant as was shown – united missed a trick here this is something we should have asked for – I have no doubt if we had we would be champions

  111. Albert Ross says:

    Scott the Red assembled quotes reflecting the career of a great United goal-scorer.
    A thread was created by our host, which must have taken a fair while to produce.

    The first 64 comments ignored the thread completely. Not a word about Ruud.
    The 65th was: “Thanks Ruud.”

    Then nothing.

    I remember recently reading RoM locals moaning about the lack of topical threads.
    Even harsh attacks on StR, using the word “cunt” to describe him for his lack of effort.

    Who’s the cunt now?

  112. RedHound says:

    RedManWalking

    That speech is unreal, thats something Gandalf or Dumbledore would say.

    Again, that speech is unreal.

  113. RedHound says:

    Albert Ross

    The first poster kind of ruined it, Tevez and all, caused people to want to vent their feelings, i dont blame anyone though, that should have been a 450 plus comments post but well, Tevez had to ruin it. The post is a brilliant example of how a Manager-player relationship should be in the face of conflict, shows Ferguson’s incredible apathy not unlike that of Jesus and his disciples, i mean waiting for Ruud to recover and then sign him, biking to convince Cantona, some other player whose name i forget that Fergie recently sent a later after his injury(the letter leaked by the way.) Those seemingly tiny tiny things that make players quite literally and figuratively play for Ferguson even if they may later regret it after some conflicts, those tiny things are why City will never be Manchester United, and why players who dont appreciate them fool nobody and turn out like the Crocodile that Tevez is.

  114. Costas says:

    @Albert Ross

    That’s the point I made in comment #14 of said thread when I said screw Tevez and wished Ruud godspeed. But you know how it is. You can’t call people on their bs without getting slated for not respecting their opinions.

    That thread deserved better.

  115. RedManWalking says:

    @RedHound

    I know mate. He is the master. I hope we, not only win the lot, but also knock City out of every competition. I would love to see Tevez crying like a little girl!

  116. Albert Ross says:

    Congratulations Antonio Valencia!

    You are a phenomenal player. An unstoppable, unflappable, driven creator of goals.
    Thank you!

  117. Mikekelly12 says:

    Day 2 of recovery. Just have to put up with all the parade nonsense and then I reckon it’s plain sailing. My city mates don’t realise how close they were to fucking it up all over AGAIN!! But for QPR deciding to call it a day they’d have a 2-1 home defeat to QPR on their record on the final day and we’d be 3 points clear champions. But apparently the “typical city” tag has now been destroyed! Yes we have ourselves to blame for letting them take it out of our hands, but the plain truth is, had QPR been professional city would have once again blown it big time and the ramifications would have been huge. Mental scars on both fans and players alike, finger pointing, blaming, players moving on. It’s a real shame that Bolton game didnt kick off at the same time as I truly believe history has been altered greatly.

  118. Albert Ross says:

    Costas

    Then I owe you an apology! (not that I think you are looking for one!)

    By the time I got to your comment, I was already frustrated at the lack of reference to Ruud.
    Your comment started “Fuck Tevez” and I moved straight on to the next one. Oops!

    Anyway, we share the sentiment that Ruud deserves better. So does StR, to be honest.
    New threads are not just a fresh A4 page for us to scribble on.
    (… perhaps some of them are, for StR has a life too)

    “It’s not too late!” I cry, somewhat forlornly.

    ps Good day to you!

  119. Albert Ross says:

    RedHound – good day mate, and good comment too!

    Sir Alex is mind-blowingly amazing on a daily basis. We are blessed.

  120. Costas says:

    @Albert Ross

    Good day mate. Nah, I definitely wasn’t looking for an apology. I agree with what you said. I realize how hard it is when something United related is happening live and fans feel the urge to comment on it. That’s not a problem for me. I just feel that they should save it for a thread that didn’t take hours to get put together. Same thing happens when a Giles Oakley article gets posted. I try to avoid commenting there unless I’ve read the article and have a comment about that. Everything else (whether it’s an upcoming game or which formation works best) can always be discussed elsewhere.

  121. Sandeep1878 says:

    Morning Rossi, Costas, RMW, Redhound, M19ke..

    Good day reds..

    I still think there is potential for improvement in Valencia,,meaning his best is yet to come!!

    Time for Tunni and Keane to get into cup games..

  122. Mikekelly12 says:

    Morning Sandeep
    I just hope he stays injury free this season and tears it up on a regular basis!

  123. Costas says:

    That being said, the Tevez matter is a very serious one. And not surprisingly, some rags have completely downplayed it. Some have even suggested that Tevez was referring to a quote Fergie made 3 years ago that United wouldn’t be underdogs agains City in his lifetime. Oh come on. As if the troll is actually intelligent enough to put two and two together! Small time club. Always have been and always will be.

    @Sandeep

    Morning mate.

  124. Mikekelly12 says:

    Costas
    Just had a mail from a blue mate who also said it was a dig at that quote. How do the press know? Did they locate and interview the creator of the poster??

  125. Albert Ross says:

    Costas – that’s exactly how I feel. Very well said.

    You also mentioned that calling people on their bs leads to getting slated for not respecting their opinions. This is a cross I bear everywhere I am! Ha Ha I’m a twit!

    As well as the over-reactive slaters, there are the awoken slumberers who simply realise their minor fail and are happy to have been nudged. It is those reasonable Reds that I address.

    Your ‘formula’ is a good one. Quality articles should draw comments primarily on-topic.
    Other threads seem almost designed for off-topic general chit-chat.
    Perhaps the RoM Reads are best for the more trivial or less newsworthy links.

    At the very least, some passing mention should be made about the thread topic, especially by anyone who has ever complained about the lack of threads or their topics.

    ps Clicked on an ad lately?

  126. Albert Ross says:

    The Tevez matter is a serious one. I picture an angry Scott gathering his ammo as we speak!

    Good day Sandeep!

  127. Sandeep1878 says:

    M19ke,

    Hope so pal.

    Costas,

    yeah mate that clown and the people who defend him are cunts..classless..

    To behave in this way on our legend is disgraceful..

    the worst part is, He will be leaving Etihad, so our fans wont get a chance to ram this cunt..

    Rossi,

    Point noted pal regarding the thread and speaking on topic..

    Good day..

    cheers

  128. Gorse Hill Red says:

    The Fergie poster just shows how Bitter and Twisted City are. They are only champions after the events at Stoke. If Bolton had won then QPR would have not turned to statues and allow City to score. Thats two seasons now, first when Liverpool threw the game against Chelsea and now with QPR.

    Anyway, a few good buys in the summer and we will have our trophy back.

    Oh yes and fully deserved for Valencia.

  129. mancdub says:

    Albert Ross
    Its because what Tevez did provoked such anger in everyone and they needed to vent that anger. So they came on ROM to do so. 
    Its unfortunate that this incident coincided with STR new thread.
    But it is a very long thread and people didn’t have time to read it first.
    I only saw the Tevez footage this morning and the first thing I did was post my anger on this thread.
    It was a despicable act and it’s only natural for people to react.

  130. CedarsDevil says:

    Mighty Mike

    Not really sure how to feel about the whole thing to be honest. The more I think about ifs and buts the more annoyed I get…….Just trying to think ahead and look forward. Not switched on any sports channels to avoid seeing the bitters celebrate…..I am usually and by enlarge a gracious loser and always congratulate the opposition but somehow I cannot bring my self to do the same for city….

    Oh, and I still blame Costas for everything!!

  131. Sandeep1878 says:

    some facts about the Beast,

    Season’s 2nd best assists with 13 to his name, Silva topping with 14.

    But Valencia has 0.58 assists per game, which is by far the highest by any winger in the league this season..

    His crossing accuracy is 26%, the best in the league as well.

    ###

    Total goals: 4..

    I hope he will score more this season, he can!!

    Assists: 13

    Costas / Albert

    Fully agreed with regards to thread topics etc….For me personally I love going off topic, enjoying the laughs and banter BUT when its an article by Giles or a thread that pays tribute to The Babes or any of our dead then I only pay my respects and move on

  135. Sandeep1878 says:

    Wing play:

    Nani
    Giggsy
    Young
    Valencia

    20 goals between them and 38 assists!!

    meaning they have almost involved in the 65% of the goals we have scored this season..

    That is MASSIVE!!

    Morning Sandy

  141. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Cedars, LOL! It’s the summer heat mate, and the lack of football as well. I tell you. And you get to watch real babes whereas all I get is porn.

    Great to go Tony V!

    My obvious choice would’ve been Michael Carrick. Without him, we wouldn’t have been in this race at all. His absence was obviously felt in key games in Europe and he has been our most influential player this season beyond doubt. Still, Tony V is a great choice as would have been Evans, who has also had a tremendous season that has fucked all doubters in the arse.

    Sir Alex Ferguson’s words should echo in the minds of every Manchester United fan. They’re the words of a born winner. They’re the words of a man who has never said No to a challenge. They’re the words of someone who has built this club from the ashes like a Phoenix. They’re the words of a man who would’ve been hurt by the events of the past month.

    And they’re the words that tell me United will win the trophy back from across town next season.

    As for City, what a bunch of classless twats. In the midst of all this, it shouldn’t be forgotten that the man that won them the title cost only 7 mil and is not a mercenary. It’s a pity none of their lot is going to realize that any time soon.

    I read on Sky yesterday that Mancini hopes Sir Alex will stay so that he can continue his battle. He said that he hopes City wins more trophies and Sir Alex feels 10 years younger. How soon will it be before the cunt Mancini realizes he’s made a mistake? He doesn’t realize that he has just pulled the tails of a ferocious Lion. He’s messing with the Master. Of course, he can since he’s won the title.

    But they way City are talking, you would imagine they romped home with a few games to spare. They seem to forget the path that has led them to the title and how close they were to throwing it all away against a 17th placed side. A few less time added on or a bit more integrity with the QPR players and they would’ve been fucked.

    We’ve shown magnanimity in defeat and they’re showing their lack of class in victory.

  142. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Ah, so it turns out the Sky Sports link was the culprit. Surprising I didn’t get any Moderation messages as well. Now you people are going to be stuck with multiple duplicate posts. Sorry about that.

  143. Albert Ross says:

    mancdub – that’s the truth.

    An understandable and natural reaction to the horrific nature of Tevez’ attack.
    An instant focus to the nasty matter at hand.
    Perhaps even posters not reading the article in their hasty anger.

    Of course this changes nothing.

    StR spends hours making a thread, and emotional Reds ignore it, while turning it into their vehicle of expression. Understandable maybe, but not fair, decent, reasonable or considered.

    Especially from anyone who moans about thread quality. Anyone who commented there and ignored Ruud and StR’s efforts will surely become a hypocrite should they ever moan about thread content or quality?

    It must be StR’s fault. He makes us so comfortable that we forget we’re at his place.
    We even forget he exists. Unless a lightbulb needs changing.

    Fear not! You are not alone, going mad, or the target of a fiendish plot.

    I have noticed that posted comments containing links to RoM threads just disappear!
    No error message given.

    It never used to be like this. I had guessed to myself that this change is connected to the tracking of hits garnered by destination websites that pay StR (in money, or perhaps respect) for his referrals. This would include any links posted by us.

    Anyway, no big deal. I’m really just reassuring you. You are not alone!

  149. Milesplattingred says:

    No class have they fucking no class at all. I expect it from a thick cunt like Tevez but fucking shame on Mancini for letting this happen. The tiny strand of respect i had for him has gone.

    Also did you see that cunt Nasri in his shades. He looked like a cheap fat Romanian prostitute.

  150. Redbilly says:

    Congratulation Tony V. Powerful determined and no baggage . A true red. Was a parade organised for us if we’d secured the title?. If do the streets would have been jammed.

    Tevez- he’s so low he could walk under a snakes belly wearing a top hat.

    The man is very ralanred in the pitch and rearly gives anything other than 100%. Off it, he’s deplorable. I would be saddened to have a child consider him a hero.

    cheap fat Romanian prostitute

    HA!

  153. Redbilly says:

    Tevez dislikes fergie because. He said no to his childish demands. He is a selfish man without honour if any kind. I’m glad he did it in a way. It exemplifies the club . He was on the parade bus , with the banner ONLY because the club allowed him back. Why ?. Anything is acceptable to them to win. Even going against their own principles. He and the banner are a shining example of what they stand for.

    As the man said ‘ you can’t buy class kidd’

  154. Redbilly says:

    Albert and co- fair point regarding ignoring. The thread topic. I’m a guilty. As the next man.

  155. MG says:

    I’m guilty too

    Though I think I read Costas saying – I apologise if I got it wrong – the Player’s player of the year was not started in the biggest game of the year.

    I wish I had a De Lorean

    :lol:

  156. CedarsDevil says:

    MG

    God bless you……….. You bring joy to the heart

  157. Albert Ross says:

    Redbilly – I have to admit that I am guilty of it too.

    When the distracting topic is as overpowering as this tevez placard, then nearly everyone falls prey to their emotion so the dearth of on-topic comments becomes obvious.

    I slipped under the radar when I was guilty, because others weren’t. Or perhaps I’d turned it off!

  158. Redbilly says:

    Albert- true . I think those posters who always stick to the thread who, go off topic with such an issue shows the strength of feelings. Rivalry and banter is one thing . That act was totally outside those boundries . If the roles were reversed I would consider it and comment on it’s bad taste and bad reflection on the club.

    Their only defence is, they don’t know how to conduct themselves during a period if success.

  159. MG says:

    Cedars

    Truly I am the opposite of a certain Argentinian

    :lol:

    That much I definitely am

    ;)

  160. Redbilly says:

    Albert Ross- wanted to say. A couple if blue fans, though gloating did say that when they saw him with the banner, both ge Ann’s the banner made them cringe. Many would not admit it but felt it too.

  161. Redbilly says:

    Tevez us a hateful cunt .

  162. Albert Ross says:

    Redbilly – I guess that only blues whose desire to hurt reds is greater than their love for their club would feel pleased upon their first sighting of the banner and it’s holder.

    However, most of the blues who are dismayed, will quickly have shoved that emotion out, and replaced it with any view that takes advantage of the attack on Sir Alex. Only a few will remain as honest as the couple of blues you mentioned.

  163. RoMancing-the-Reds says:

    They say a man’s true worth is known by how he handles failure, and how he handles success.

  166. Marq says:

    Losing the title doesn’t make one an underdog, so the argument about that poster being a reference to that quote is wrong. Not that bitter fans with tiny brains can apprehand. So Liverpool won the CC, does that make all other teams underdogs to them in that competition?
