RoM offered readers the opportunity to ask Nani a question.
The question was sent by shubhangmanred. He has won a Champions League football signed by Nani (although has yet to reply our e-mail with contact details).
Q: “Who is the hardest player to beat in training?”
A: “Rafael. Rafael da Silva. He is very good.”





Man Utd News 24/7






















Quality!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
My question never got in – Scott you’ve reduced a man to tears
Congratulations to shubhangmanred
Outstanding. Nani is class and will only continue to improve. His decisions have been questioned
at times but the cross to Rooney’s boot laces (Birmingham game) still ranks as one of the best deliveries of the season for me.
I’ll have the ball if that guy doesn’t get back to you!
MG, Now that you remind me, WTF, What about my question Scott. Yo …… Scott? Say, my man….
At any rate…..Congrats to Shub!
hmmm … it looks like shubhangmanred actually proposed two questions, one about switching to adidas from nike, and one about who’s the most difficult defender to deal with in training. I guess we can find out which one was asked, and Nani’s reply, from the video … but I’m in a place where I can’t listen to audio right now. Oh well, wait until later…
oops, i see it there now … swear it wasn’t there before … honestly … cheers!
That guy sitting next to him keeps starring at me….it starting to creep me out!
boring interview.. I think the only United related question was from the RoM reader.
There was better questions, than that one, FIX!
Seems a decent interview with John Henry new Liverpool bank man. But the headline is completely wishful thinking on the part of the mirror. Not said by the man.
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Liverpool-owner-John-Henry-insists-he-has-just-one-objective-for-the-club-overtaking-Manchester-United-and-becoming-Englands-best-team-once-more-article693755.html
Think most United fans agree with most of it. A strong United Liverpool rivalry really warms the chill on a gusty winters day!
Right then, Bring it on!
On Wayne Rooney watch, he should have scored already.
Denmark 1 up.
Bent 1 1.
I hope Poulsen fucks up.
FletchTHEMAN
Mate I want to know if their were any dealings done behind our back
Willie
Is Rooney playing on the left? Just saw the formation. (Do not have the game on tele here)
Is Rooney actually playing
Cedars – Looks like he’s playing off Bent mate. He does drop deep at times though.
FAT FRANK tried a “Gibson”
Failed.
Cheers Willie
As for this competition, rigged for sure. I remember posting 5 or 6 top class questions and was sure of winning. The restaurant question was a sure winner for me
England are playing so bad that even Wolves would have beaten them
Rafael on the bench for Brazil, hope he stays there
Forgot to add, so is Anderson
Nani starts for Portugal…….. Tevez not even in the squad for Argentina
Just turned the Brazil France game on. Just to be clear, who’s who?
That Eriksen look promising young player!
Willie lol
Thats the game I have along with Germany v Italy (Zzzzz)
Benzema actually had a shot on target, I knew we should have signed him for 40 odd million last summer, dammit
Well if shubhangmanred doesn’t want it, I wouldn’t say no.
But congratulations.
Rooneys now off for England. He had one chance, should have scored. Looked lively enough.
Rooney is off… Only watching now in the hope Terry Cole Walcott Milner & Hart get injured!!
Rooney put in a good shift. Capello probably agreed to 45 minutes. Rooney should be fit for bitters.
2 1 England.
Portugal 1:1 Argentina
half time
Ronaldo scored, Nani looks good.
Lets hope Nani gets taken off
Nani is starting the 2nd half in Switzerland.
Hey guys…where are the stretford enders gonna meet on saturday morning? Bishop Blaize?
And at what time does the Bishop Blaize open on saturday morning?
Thanks
So far our boys in Paris, Rafael & Anderson still on the bench
The Benz scored for France.
Benzema just scored against 10 man Brazil… C’mon Chelsea, surely another 50m seems like a bargain now
@Willierednut. Cheers mate.
Looks like we were the only ones watching the rest of that mess.
Funny that bringing Walcott (the savior of england) off lead directly to the
opening for the second score. Ha ha ha ha.
So our boys are in Paris? Rafael & Anderson siting still on a bench while she does all the work? Then they’ll be fine for Saturday.
smartalex
Thats the way to do it mate!
BTW Gourcuff looks like a decent player……
FletchTHEMAN – England looked more solid, when Parker and boring Barry came on. Denmark were poor in the second half though.
Pretty boring question to pick… was it randomly selected because there were dozens of better questions. Nothing new in the form of the answer: it was either gonna be ferdinand, vidic, evra, or rafael.
Or was nani only allowed to be asked a question that could be answered in 5 words max?
Paul Parker, wondered why he wasn’t on RoM tonight.
Cedars – I was keen on Gourcuff, before the WC. Not so much now. Menez is a very good player. United tried to sign him, but he went to Roma instead.
Just switched channels, Scotland 3:0 Northern Ireland. Fantastic, I’m stoked! Ulster Red will be sad, among others he should chime in soon enough. I think I saw him, wearing a bright green wig!
I cant figure out why Rafael isnt playing… I am not complaining.. but I cant understand it.
Willie
Agreed on Gourcuff, he is having a good game tonight but very inconsistent in general. Would never want him at OT tbh
smartalex – We’ll come back and beat Scotland 4 3 lol.
redbob
Nothing to figure out mate, lets hope he gets no where near the pitch tonight. Just keep him on the bench, smartalex has arranged for ‘bench’ like entertainment for him! lol
You’ll have to do it in the third half willierednut! Actually I’ve lost the transmission, but the game is just about over.
CedarsDevil
He is better than any full back on Brazil, but rest him for Saturday, as I said I am not complaining..
Match of the night ends San Marino 0 Liechtenstein 1
Dan Merino? Where’s Ray Finkel? Laces out!
smartalex – We’ll get ya’s in the long grass. RedScot is probably drunk as a skunk now lol.
A Bank (of Scotland) holiday will be declared tomorrow!
Bruce Banner is on for Brazil, but don’t make him angry.
Penalty for Argentina, 90th minute.
Messi scores, commentators dehydrate.
Apparently Hulk has a Brazilian.
I think we should sign the guy that got sent off for Brazil. He would add some toughness to our midfield.
Why didn’t Twatez play today again?
Nah, I would not want a guy called Hernanes playing for United
Argentina 2:1 Portugal
full time.
Nani played 60 minutes
Costas
He was never in the squad mate…. Seems like Sh Mansour ‘pulled’ a few strings
..slips in the side door, nonchalantly plays his card, like he’s been in the game all night…
Evening Costas!
Did you hear about the blonde sky-diver? Pulled the wrong cord and bled to death.
@Cedars
Thanks mate. Damn Arabs. Not that we had a lot of players in action today. Just Rooney’s 45 minutes and Nani’s 60. So we are good going into Saturday. Oh and Hernandez will not make it back until Friday, but he was always going to be on the bench for Saturday.
@smartalex
Hi mate. You mentioned Finkle above. You think that men that sleep with Torres react like Ace Ventura when they find out he is a man?
“Can I ass you a question”
Latest on Tevez…… Seems he was spotted in Cairo square holding out his ears. Local police and protesters alike were so confused with the gesture that they just decided to beat the shit out of him just in case
Serious shortage of chewing gum sweeps London!
“who shot ya”
@willie
When Ace was talking like that he reminded me of Gary Cook.
Tevez is such a good and honest negotiator that the United Nations have actually made him the middle east peace envoy and as far as my sources are concerned:
Tevez is brokering a deal with Israel and Palestine
In the jungle lol.
Torres (no joke lads, this was printed in a local paper) Since I came to the PL I have always dreamed about playing along side Terry and Lampard ………….. Fucking hell
So according to ladyboy Carra and Gerrard are just left overs?
Not complaining mind you, but this just gets better and better
He wants to be the meat, in their sandwich.
Torres has a sHero roll to play.
Anyway, Torres is lying. No one dreams of playing alongside Terry, especially a striker. Why the fuck would he focus on a centre back to be a team mate? Unless it’s written in the starfish.
I like the question. Why? Because I like the answer
What???? Who??? Where???
Q:You play against Argentina and Leo Messi this week- Is he a player you look up to?
R:Will you lads stop following me everywhere I go and stop asking me these stupid fucking questions!
Torres’ nickname at chelsea is bumbino, apparently terry described their growing bond as ‘tight’
Hello Gordon, hows Haley?
Let me go (Willie let you go) (Never, never, never, never)
Let me go, o, o, o, o
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama Mia, let me go
Beelzebub has Red Devil put aside for me, for me, for me!
Mama!!!!!!!!!!!
Like Homer does…
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Hayley……
Joey’s no Bart.
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Rafael, Fabio, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Rafael) Fabio (Rafael) Fabio, Rafael Da Silva
Magnifico-o-o-o-o
Tevez just a bitter boy nobody loves him
He’s just a bitter boy from a bitter family
Spare us the sight of this monstrosity!

Thank you, ta very much… ooh my back..
TTTT
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEE
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVv
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEE
ZZZZ
That’s actual size folks.
Tevez wasn’t picked because the manager doesn’t like his attitude. Now there’s a surprise. Anyway he wasn’t impressed when he pulled out of last argie game with an “injury“ only to play for the bitters and score two at fulham a couple of days later. He is also said to have been very pally with Maradona.
He’s Maradona’s long lost son.
Has anyone seen Adam Lljaic this season? He’s supposed to be playing well for Fiorentina and I’m wondering did we make a huge mistake in not signing him in the end for 9-10 million. Especially with our problems in midfield this season.
Haha, Hayley’s fine willierednut, she’s sitting on my knee as we speak. would you like her number?
Alas, no my username is not in honour of Gordon McQueen, nor Haley for that matter.
@Willie, no not “Drunk as a skunk” mate lol. Just fighting my corner elsewhere,Willie, be glorious in defeat mate.I hope Ulster Red is not to sore, I never saw him on the Telly , during the match.With his wig, prob awa whoring around , Dublin, as a transexual. lol Jokin. xxxx
You would have laughed last night, i was battling about 10 Bitters, that can only fire off, one liners.
About being a rag etc. lol, No idea, pure idiots, most were from America/ Oz, Nz,or planet Zorb., “Neighbors”, i beg you? I sniff it out immediately. lmao. Am getting shit scared about this match, on Saturday, its make or break, for me, will the, “Real ” United come to the fore, as seen at Birmingham,Villa and Blackburn, games
Anyways , keep the “Old “Pecker up.You no it makes sense.
Back to the fight mate,you know i have an agenda. I love “United”.The full package.
Keep it Red.
Laters.
Bonnuit.
Chicharito started for Mexico tonight, played 80 minutes.
He missed a penalty but scored on the rebound.
In case anyone was wondering
Irish Ghost Story.
This story happened a while ago in Dublin, and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it’s true.
John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a big storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John, desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car and closed the door… only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn’t on.
The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road ahead and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere through the window, and turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand came through the window, but never touched or harmed him.
Shortly thereafter, John saw the lights of a pub appear down the road, so, gathering strength, he jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he had just had. A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was crying… and wasn’t drunk.
Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from the dark and stormy night. They, like John, were also soaked and out of breath. Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other… ‘Look Paddy……there’ s that freaking idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it!’
anyone seen this yet?

Sorry but didnt understand a word of what Nani said for the first 30 seconds…….mumbled ramblings!
Can a persistant player in a snood play well with a chip on his shoulder in a derby?
If you can guess the player, you get the stinky snood after the match!
According to wall street journal the saturday derby against city will be the most expensive game in history of sports.

Why do sharks swim around you before attacking?
Two great white sharks, swimming in the ocean, spied survivors of a sunken ship.
“Follow me, son.” the father shark said to the son shark and they swam to the mass of people.
“First we swim around them a few times with just the tip of our fins showing.” And they did.
“Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few times with all of our fins showing.” And they did.
“Now we eat everybody.” And they did.
When they were both gorged, the son asked, “Dad, why didn’t we just eat them all at first? Why did we swim around and around them?”
His wise father replied, “Because they taste better without the shit inside!”
A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa.’
‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz.’
A student asked, ‘What gender is ‘computer’?’
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two
groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether ‘computer’ should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its
recommendation.
The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (‘la computadora’), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
!
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your paycheck on accessories for
it.
(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (‘el computador’), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model..
The women won.

gutted that was shocking, im dying with a serious hangover, im looking forward to seeing how many players that pulled out of the squad will have made a recovery for the games this weekend, the staduim is very very good and perfectly situated for socailising…must say tho i have never seen as much skirt at a football game in my life, they ALL wear them.
