You know, City with all their millions and riches, could only beat us on goal difference says a lot. Still gutted, but this supposed shit United team pushed them all the way. We’ll come back stronger next season. Fuck City, fuck QPR, fuck Barton. United ’til I die.
Feels a bit cruel to lose like this, but the players gave it their all. I dont think we can ask for more from our players.
Crap,crap,crap
It was a great goal and it’s a shame that his little redirect off Youngs mishit and/or 1 or both of his almost amazing free kicks didn’t go in as well. He could have tied up RVP with just a smidgen more luck.
I would like to congratulate City on winning (buying) the title on goal difference to the worst United team in premier league history (according to all the neutrals and papers). Enjoy your moment, we will be back. Treat the trophy with respect because we will be back bigger and better next season. United till i die.
It will sound crazy, but looking at the chances we missed today and last week, we could have pegged back the GD after all!
Don’t be surprised if Rooney requests a transfer.
barton should be banned
i think it is match fixing
So close. Roll on next season. United will never die.
Owen Hargreaves has become the first man to win back to back EPL titles…
Kings
Never really expected anything but the way it panned out left me gutted………Just hope people would spare me the ‘lets learn from this’ line and just move on
glory glory man utd
proud of the lads
fuck you barton fa should probe the case
Gutted. How did we blow it ? However let’s start looking forward to next season. After all as a lot of us have said, Shitty’s “best ever team” only beat our “worst ever team” on goal difference.
We’ll be back – although I also wonder if Rooney will be with us.
Peter
Newspapers are never neutral.
Unlucky United, i really thought you were going to pull it off there! I think it would have been better if Shitty were winning comfortably, rather than that!
Well done red devils.It was just never to be,albeit that was painfull.
Keep the red flag flying high,even Shitty know they have a fight on their hands regardless of their financial clout.
What’s the 12 stand for? Forgive me for watching the shitty celebrations, but I’m a masochist! We’ll be back, I’m sure of that.
We all expected city to win the league today. It’s just the way it happened that’s hard to take.
Watching the two games was weird. Seeing the reactions of our players as the news filtered through from the wastelands.
Were all gutted but we will bounce back.
When Abramovich took over Chelsea and ploughed fortunes into the club, the bar was raised.
United responded with what was arguably SAF best ever team. Which delivered four more titles and another champions league.
We will respond again.
UNITED
@Shebangsthedrums
The calendar year in which they won the title. It was the most impressive number they could come up with…
Honestly can you all tell me how you feel about season?
So gutted roll on next year
CedarsDevil – Neither did I, but resignation and acceptance at the start turned to that small bit of hope during both of the games, especially when QPR were leading, but I never got too carried away due to the time that was left. I honestly thought City would get no more than an equaliser though. It’s the manner in which we lost it that was the most gutting of all. We were Champions for a good 20 mins. United til I die.
Thank fuck it wasn’t the other Argentian twat who scored the goal.
Small time: http://www.liverpool-kop.com/2012/05/video-ferguson-rooney-react-to-agueros.html
Seriously, who gives a fuck?
i could not believe that city won in extra time.. ya ya city … for all the millions u spent u could get the epl title… we will be back… hope… i’d rather watch the ‘a serbian film’ rather than city lifting the cup…
It didn’t look to me as if Barton actually did anything.
I think that was why he lashed out after getting a bogus red card
chill the fuck out, we still got number 2. the same as barcelona this season.
some teams have spent more but still stuck on number 5 and 7.
Kings, LOL! FWIW, that cheered my up a lot. My cousin who’s a Liverpool fan will be extremely happy today as well and they lost to Swansea.
The biggest joy for millions of other fans over the world will be that United lost the league.
I can take joy from the fact that I will never be in that position. Even if United are down in the dumps, I will always take joy in supporting United than taking joy from the misery of others. I think that is the difference in class that separates United from the rest.
Kings
One day I will run into Kanwar, the rest as they say will be pleasant history
Nobody expected that. Everybody expected City to win, but they did it against 10 men for half an hour and with five extra minutes to help them,”
“They conducted themselves brilliantly today. Their performance level was good. I’m pleased at our performance this season. 89 points would win most league. It wasn’t our turn today.”
“At the end of our game our players didn’t actually know the results. Now, they’re really disappointed.sir alex
Costas, thanks again, you always put me right, forgot abut the year! I’m still trying to work out the 3 stars on the badge, all the city fans I know don’t know what it means either.
what a cruel way to end the season….Hope until the last 120 seconds.
So glad I support United.
Will miss you Berba.
Cmon 3 months hurry up and finish so the season can start again.
Costas, So, that is what the 12 signifies. I am weak with history and stats and I thought for a second that they had 12 trophies in all. The calendar year they won the title. LOL!
@Shebangsthedrums
Ah don’t mention it. Someone had to answer, lol.
The 3 stars is more proof of their stupidity. From what I’ve read on wikipedia, they are purely decorative. They added them to their badge because they wanted a continental look! I guess no one told them that stars actually represent trophies. Mind you, it was 35 years until they remembered what those felt like…
@Costas
Totally agree. Despite everything, we were very wasteful in front of the goal this season. We seemed to be happy just winning by an odd goal or two when we should have scored 4 or 5.
We played QPR at home with an extra man, and failed to take advantage of that, Aston Villa were the poorest team this season at OT, Against Wolves away we seemed to stop at 5:0 when we could have had plenty more. Today we should have won by at least 4 goals…..
One can surely argue that this title was lost due to our inability to finish teams up.
Finally how pathetic British media and Shitty are. They can brag for all they want but a matter of fact is that they did not win (read buy) the title but we threw it away.
19nnnnnn19 nnnnnn19
nnnnn no more titles for fergie; might as well retire now
haven’t laughed so much for years;
and helped to ease some of the Arse pain of living in North London when Michael Thomas scored that late winner at Anfield in 89
As for buying the title;stop whining fergus, you have been buying them for years!!
@Balaji
It’s actually 14 trophies for them in total. 3 league titles. And knowing their knack for twisting history around, it’s 10 league titles if you include their Championship wins.
as for Jaimie Kanwar
I have not met a liverpool fan who would’nt throttle the twat if they could find him in Malaysia or wherever the hell the scumbag actually lives
Messi is overrated ???
Who exactly are you telling to chill the fuck out???
Everyone seems quite chilled to me.
Cheer up people of RoM. It almost happened but it didn’t. Its Ok, I thought there would be poetic justice and city will lose the tittle on last day like we did 95 season but it wasn’t to happen coz of QPR’s display in last 5 mins.
Barton should have injured aguero. He should have kicked him so hard that he didn’t take any part. One thing is clear city are overdependent on Yaya toure. Once he got injured they crumbled and almost lost the tittle.
We faced all injuries yet we finished equal on points and lost the tittle on stoppage time.
Can it be more painful than a cross town bitter rival scoring the 95th minute title winning goal?
It can’t be..
distraught..hurt..humiliated..sick..gutted..down BUT not OUT!!
We will be back stronger next season!!
come on reds, chin up..
we will keep the red flag flying high coz Man United will never die!!
@Costas, Ah, that explains it then. Still, gotta admire the fact that they did come up with a number, however non-meaningful or inconsequential it is.
I think ROM knows exactly what cheers me up in the summer.
Time for some good old porn.
Calmed down a bit now so heres my afterthoughts. Nobody on here really gave us hope before kick off so the result is not surprising. The fact that we were minutes away from glory makes it harder to swallow.
Fair play to city for going till the end, something we have done and been famous for, as for Barton costing us etc don’t forget QPR scored after he was sent off so it was backs to the wall before he got sent off.
Maybe not winning it may not be a bad thing in the long run as surely now will WILL spend on a much needed centre midfielder in the summer and the disappointment will makes the younger players more hungry and the experienced players more determined to win it back next season.
Onwards and upwards lads onto No.20
Can some1 tell why citeh have
Champions
12
on their shirts??
they’ve only won the league 3 times
To lose the title this way is just sickening to the core! I can’t see the blue mercenaries celebrating..hate them with a passion! But, we will have to bear the pain till August and one thing which I am sure is that to lose the title in such a cruel way will live with the players more than the fans. Because it will make them realize it all the more that we have simply thrown it away this season rather than City earning it in the truest sense.
Without denying any credit whatsoever to City, we have still taken it to the last fucking minute in spite of going through a horrendous spell of injuries, riding on some bad luck and doing some self inflicting damage as well in the process through complacency. So fair play to the lads, we did what we could do but still wasn’t good enough to finish as Champions.
What we should remember though is that this team is still not the finished article and last time we had a similar challenge, we responded back with 3 EPL titles and a European cup! We will add in the summer for sure and we have a great man leading the ship who has seen it all, done it all and won it all! As fans, our support should be unconditional and the love for this club should never go whatever be our success rate! Yes, as fans we have a right to question the players, the medical staff etc. but what we can do at the very least is not resort to any sort of abuse towards the gaffer because he has built this club into an absolute monster on the great values of Sir Matt Busby that we pride ourselves upon!
Yes, it hurts to lose, as we have been bloody used to winning all these years but we can’t win ‘em all. And, on the positive front, this defeat would surely see some plastics jumping ship and fucking off somewhere else which I would gladly welcome. This will take some time to get out of the system but I am absolutely sure that eventually we’ll see this challenge off and respond back emphatically!! We have a fantastic group of players coming through and the young players in the first team would have accumulated invaluable experience this season. The “cows” craving the greener side of the grass can fuck off gladly and the ones who will want to say and contribute & eventually become world beaters!
This club has always come back and we will come back, be it the next season or the season thereafter. I have absolute faith and unconditional support in the club, the gaffer and our players. Let the poznan jumping cunts rub their pussies against each other and enjoy their moment. We will see the blue cunts come August.
GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!! Keep the Red flag flying high!
B.E.L.I.E.V.E
Can’t believe anyone here is still watching the Ethiad???
Well I got the 95th min winner right, should have been Owen though not fuckin Aguero!! Bad way to lose it, but that’s what happens when you leave it to someone else to try and win it for you.
Balaji Sivaraman – Ha. Glad you enjoyed that. That is what being a supporter of a shit club does to you. They cannot gain any pleasure from supporting their own team so they look for crumbs of comfort elsewhere – they certainly have found some today in seeing us miss out on the title. Losers. I felt more sick in 1995 than today – even though it was out of our hands back then, I actually thought we would beat West Ham and Liverpool would beat Blackburn. I am actually feeling calm now and looking forward to the start of next season when we will get our trophy back. One Love One United.
Surely there needs to be an inquiry into the Tannoy announcer? That is bang out of order and absolutely typical of the depths that team would swoop to get a goal.
Mike
So near yet so far!
If only we were all sitting at the beach with Cedars having a cold drink watching the girls go by.
Second Kings
Now let’s plot how to get our trophy back
Apparently though they’ve won it 12 times?
nevthered
The thing that pleases me most is the further dimise of your club. You find time to come onto a Utd blog to gloat yet your own club is a laughing stock. King Fucking Kenny.
PS
We bought them with our own money same as your team did in the 80′s.
This hurts so so much. To be a minute away… As they say ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’. Our hunger next season will be immense. Our ‘weakest team to win the title’ as the punits would have you believe finished level with the best team city could buy. Its not all that bad x
What i love the most is that the scouse bastards would actully take pleasure out of this and thats a fact.
8th place they finished 37 points behind the top 2 and they won the carling cup on penalties against the mighty cardiff.
King Kenny is doing a great job, hope he keeps up the good work
Champions 99…
@nvthered:
If you want to go to heaven when you die;

Quote from BBC site: 1813:
Infostrada Sports tell us that Liverpool end the season with their lowest ever Premier League points total, their fewest wins (14) in a top flight season since 1953-54 and their fewest top flight goals in a season (47) since 1991-92.
I guess that’s what you call progress, eh? Retard.
alom,
Champoions 12 means, champions – 2012
@ Jameses7t7
what happend with the announcer? I left the bar when they turned over to the city game and stood outside.
SAF:
I’m glad that the players are disappointed and so they should be
To city
They should not get carried away… I’m not going away
That’s the spirit
@ Sandeep1878
yeah I got that afterwards – haha
when I first saw it – I was like WTF they havent won 12 league titles – moment got to me
Norman
Their quality signing Stuart Downing finished with a fantastic record of 0 goals and 0 assists!! Tim Howard has a better record!!
Kings,
that’s a bit relief to see your posts pal!!
thank you..
city are now champions
That does nothing for me – Sheikhy baby didn’t even bother going to his fucking toy shop
He was probably too busy getting married to his tenth wife
A little out of context but good sentimentt!!!
‘Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we’ll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We’ll keep the red flag flying here.’
I repeat
950 million 1 title
Plus United handing it over to them
Plus fate
Plus luck
Plus Tevez ass licking
Palace, Bin dippers, Basel, Bilbao finally citeh!
Horrible season, a season to forget. The sufferings didn’t stop till e 95th min.
Now tt it’s all over. Back to e drawing board. Tho it’s painful, nothing beats what’s inside e gaffer’s n e plyrs’ mind. Big learning curve. But we r MAN UNITED. Your hate makes us stronger. Trust me, we will come back stronger than eva. Mighty United won’t allow humiliation gets e better of us. Looking forward to new signings n a new beginning in August. Be strong fellow mancunians!!
12 is 2012
Hope James is back home safe!!
pray for our Tarzan
I will never get over the pain of having thrown the league after being 8 points ahead with only 6 matches to go!!!!
I do not think Fergie will ever recover from this!!!!!!! This was the title, after the very first one, he and the fans wanted more than anything. It would have fucked up Shitty’s so called ‘Project’ completely!!!!
It’s a beautiful day to be a Manchester United fan
I would as many have said:
Lose as United than win as city or any one else
When they achieve what we have achieved if they achieve then talk
Until then see you next year!
Whats all this goal difference surely it is more correctly GOLD difference.
And never let a Shitty fan ever say fergie time to you again todqay we had Mankini time.
That Everton game… What the fuck happened? Seriously… This was so avoidable
June 18th – new season fixtures published – let’s do this all again everyone.
Time to put today into some prospective. shit bang fucking wallop, we finished second, shit happens. We lost the title on goal difference FFS. We finished behind a team put together with lottery money. We have had terrible luck again with injuries to key players. We WILL improve next season. Vidic, Fletcher and hopefully, some new signings will strengthen us. We will still have Sir Alex, and we will always have our history and heritage. We will have tartan shirts ( alright forget that one). Yes finishing second to anyone hurts, but let’s not forget that under the circumstances this season, that we have done better in the league than Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and tottenham. We finished second we didn’t
Get fucking relegated. Not expecting fans to be happy today but let’s not forget just who we are and just how privileged we are to be reds. United United United.
I won’t congratulate anyone from the City camp other than their captain. He’s the only that kept his dignity this whole year.
Gary Cook you are still a deluded twat.
Mancini you are still a scarf wearing spineless pissant manager that hasn’t won a league title on his own power.
Tevez and Balotelli, you are still a couple of cunt mercenaries.
Toure you are still a classless fatso that could never lace Scholes’ (circa 95-05) boots.
And the Sunderland fans that did the poznan at the end, fuck you too.
A little off message but the right sentiment…
‘Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we’ll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We’ll keep the red flag flying here.’
Norman85
Try and stop me. COME ON REDS.
Shitty are you listening you better keep our trophy glistening.
We’ll be back in May to take it away.
Walking in a Fergie wonderland.
UTD UTD UTD
Costas – do not forget scholes of 2006/07
So dissapointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to the boys though. Fought till the last second. Next season will be way better. Transition almost complete. add 2 or 3 more players in key positions. GGMU
I think that we all feel proud to be United fans.
This season we have had to contend with an incredible injury list. Fuck when Shitty had YAYA and Peanut out injured they fell apart, so much for their wonderful squad!
“The worst United team in living memory” have stood toe to toe with a squad of players that are better than Barca’s (laughed my gonads off at that one) and ended up 90 seconds for being champions!
Our wonderful owners have sucked £500 million out of the club while shitty’s owners have pumped £930 million into their club a difference of approx £1.5 billion but still only lost on GOLD difference.
Proud to be United
Costas, Wow! Where did that come from? I’ve never seen such an enraged post from you but I absolutely love it. Fuck them all. And yeah, Kompany is playing for the Manchester team.
ROM Assemble.
Mancini: Issa win the premiership no?
ROM Assemble:
And we have all of us and a Holmes and Watson
We shall crack you next year!
Don’t like giving scousers any credit (or anyone associated with them) but this quote from Bob Paisley seems rather apt just now:
‘Mind you, I’ve been here during the bad times too – one year we came second.’
Let’s put things in perspective, we’ve lost the title to settee, we lost it in 92 to leeds (scum) we lost it in 1980 an 1988 to the scouse scum, we’ve lost it to l’arse and chavski – so this is not the first time we have lost it to a hated rival and we’ve lost it by the slmest of margins (90 seconds from glory) – we’ll be back and we’ll be taking our trophy back too – sette will not susain this kind of challenge no matter what the media would have you believe – they have no real foundations for it.
I’m looking forward to seeing astrong United squad in Belfast on Tuesday to honour a true gent and red legend in Harry Gregg – Till next year.
Who else wants The Fly and Sachu back for the summer?
I cannot imagine a summer without those two.
Just sit and smile back at the Everton fan who was overjoyed at drawing at United and “fucking up your season”
Just laugh at those Poznan dancing Sunderland fans, they only v came to watch united.
What goes round comes around. There will be a time when we will be in a postion to realy fuck them up and we will be able to have the last laugh.
Right
Let’s go.
First things first Neymar because he’s brilliant in Football Manager
So if this happens again next year guaranteed we will have more goals in goal difference
This season, it took approximately 3571 minutes out of 3572 minutes to decide the champions of England..
nervous breakdown..
89 points and you cant our season wasnt strong..but performance wise it was!!
we will be back you bitter cunts and the disgraceful Gallagher..you twat
Next start singing a song.
Don’t worry be happy by Bobby McFerrin
I’m calming down now! Really don’t mind (well you know what I mean) losing it today. It’s the manner in which it was won. I honestly thought we’d done it! Anyway, it will be all the sweeter winning it next year lads. Stay strong, the plaster had just been ripped from our scrotum, it’s gonna sting for a while but it will get better!
Third
Time to start a transfer war with Optimus C’s Costas and Cedars.
Time for a clique and a wee
Mancini and that Gallgher cunt,
you will get back what you deserve..
you fucking classless cunts..
Mike
Why did you have a plaster there mate?
Gallagher and that ridiculously old senile wanker Summerbee are massive fucktards and they have faces one could happily give them a facelift with a baseball bat.
Sandeep
Let them be mate, why worry about a team like city.
They were lucky we will just have to hunt them down next year – minus the choke from our side
I rather have this dissapointment then be a fan of any other football club.
Well congratulations to City for winning it. As the saying goes- Reaching to the top is not enough, its being able to be there that matters.
Manchester United and Sir Alex have achieved it. Now that City have won it, lets see them play once the pressure is on them. Last time they won a trophy, they lost it in 93 minutes.
Its the pressure of maintaining the top position that is the most toughest thing to do.
And if not for the horrendous injuries our team had to suffer from, things would have been way too different.
And to add further, Do city even have a plan for the future?? Is throwing money at the best players off the world their only plan? How more long would they do it?
Atleast at United, We are pretty sure of our back five for the next decade. Chico and Welbeck our strikeforce for years. Its just the mid field that Sir Alex has to work on.
And to City, Plastics and all others rejoicing at United’s lose: We`ve been in this position before and we have bounced back. Just ask Chelsea. They crummbled as soon as they lost their title. Ask Arsenal, after loosing the title they haven’t challenged for it for years.
And for all the Rest of the reds around the world: Defeat is not when you fall. Its when you refuse to get up!!!
Just some advice
Can we not talk about them lot
Please
I’ve already started the transfers – let’s focus here people
And as for the Klansmen onwards and downwards. 37 points below United what a wonderful season they have had. Keep up the great work Klu Klux Kenny a true legend
You fuckers not gonna ping me unless i mention you?
so here i go,
Evening true red devils – Jeet, Irish hero, cedars, Costas, MG, M19Ke, Papii, Giggsy12, James, Tonybee, Balaji, FITB, KE, Kings, Zibster, James, slim, fred,..fuck..i missed so many..
we will rise again!!
8 goals cost us the league!!
come on reds, chin up
It could be worse
I remember some of us saying we should have signed Joey Barton to do a job
Enough said
@ MG
So where’s the list for a debate?
SAF: “The young lads will remember today. Sometimes a bad experience is better for you. You shouldn’t fear the future & these lads won’t.
Sandeep
Costas was right
With the chances missed last week and this week we should have won the fucking trophy on goal difference ourselves!
Vishal S
The list?
The list is make up as we go go along
MG,
I want
Tevez,
Balotelli
Kolarov
Barton
@Balaji
Part of it was inspired by Scent of a woman and Pacino’s legendary monologue.
I don’t mind being generous in defeat, but this lot doesn’t deserve it. They won the title on GD and after our most injury ravaged season of all time. And, I can’t have respect for people like Tevez and Balotelli or Toure, who thought he could bully around Scholes. Fuck them.
The image I will forever cherish on this day? The City fan that was crying at Swansea throwing his toys out of the pram at 1-2. Bitter to the very end!
How about these two words to put a smile on our faces
ARAB SPRING!
A year ago Assad, Gadafi, Mubarak all seemed secure, not now. Sheik mansoor you could be next
Sandeep
I don’t let’s start a fight
Hope some plastic fans will flee, not much, they just have to cross the road and fly the blue!!
Sandeep
Alright pal. How is it. Really thought we’d won it but fuck it! Let’s win it next season!!
@Sandeep
Hi mate. Or, you could say the 3 conceded goals at the end of the derby cost us. I remember thinking that day, “I hope we don’t lose it on GD”. Sometimes fate works in cruel ways and unlike what Gray said back in 08, football doesn’t always reward the good guys. THis season is living proof and today I am more conviced than ever that Terry will lift the Ch.League…
Serie A bids adieu to a legend. His final league season ends unbeaten and with the Scudetto.
LEGEND
Right then.
Lets sign up that one trick ponny who managed around 60 goals this season and a few years back was out in the famous red!
I want:
Neymar Xavi Ronaldo Messi Pique
And Raul for old times sakes
Balaji
We have sachu already. He never went away, just uses different Monikers and so easy to spot.
He thinks we’re stupid.
UTD UTD UTD
@ Sandeep
Got to admire Del Piero. Stuck with the side even though they were relegated. And that’s the perfect way to be rewarded isn’t it!
A true legend.
Just a question……….If I murdered Barton (by accident of course) will I be sentenced?
I’m worried
Instead of using mathematical Kebab theory Costas is freaking me out with his gut feelings
Sandeep1878 – Hello my friend. Hope you are well. Gutted by the manner in which we lost it, but mark my words we will be back. I have had the pleasure of supporting this wonderful club for over 32 years and I have been spoiled by some great moments and great players. This is a disappointment, but I wouldn’t swap it for anything in the world. Mancini and Gallagher will feel the effects of Karma very soon. I personally hope they both die due to their despicable and disgusting nature. Fucking cunt mancini was waving an imaginary card when Mackie scored. Fucking bastard. Fergie will shoe away this cunt, just like he did with Dalglish, Keegan, Wenger and Mourinho before him.
United will never die my friend.
MG, M19ke, Costas,
cheers pals,
if we start digging we can dig many,
the wrongly awarded penalty against NCU
2 goals in 7 minutes at OT against Everton
Cunt balotelli scoring the injury time penalty winner against Spurs..
Our WIGAN performance..
and our unlike United play in 9 games which we dint win when we conceded first..
###
In a way, it is a bit silver lining, now we will be more concentrated on adding quality players..may be coupla..and also next season we wont play like dead team sometimes and throw away winning leads..
London rivals winning doesnt have this much impact since its down the road team,
This will freshen up the entire United, right from squad to approaching the games..
Just BELIEVE..
we will always be behind these red lads,
Come on, chin up, down but not out, we will rise!!
Cedars
I hereby sentence you to a lifetime of beach girls but being married to Meryl Streep for every movie
@ MG
Lets just add Schewsistiger, Lahm and Sneijder to that list.
I have my chin up
I think I’ve pulled my neck nearly thinking United were about to…
Alas…
MG @ 19:02: “I’ve already started the transfers – let’s focus here people”
You’re still a day behind the wily OldFootieKnight – he was in Germany yesterday sizing up Shinji Kagawa and I’d believe that he liked what he saw.
Contrary to those who think the be-all and end-all of the footie world is in Ingerland – and the EPL – there are many, many highly skilled (and tough) players plying their trades elsewhere. A guy like Kagawa plays before crowds of 80,000 in all his home matches so he’s very unlikely to be star-struck in the Theatre of Dreams.
Like Mesut Ozul, Kagawa has “run down” his contract so that he has bargaining power which will translate into a relatively-cheap transfer-fee and higher wages. He is a “value” in the marketplace – and a fucking good player, too.
Perhaps the most worrying thing about this year’s “transitional” season was the long, long list of injuries – was anyone, apart from Patrice Evra, available for selection each and every week ?
How do you legislate for injuries – bad luck ? or bad training methods ? AND, obviously, there’s no way to take account of an illness, like DarrenFletcherinho’s bout with ulcerative colitis, that will seemingly cut short a professional athlete’s career in its prime.
So, I’m warily optimistic about next season – and greatly looking forward to the “other season” when SAF does his business.
If anything, getting pipped-at-the-posst should free up the bean counters’ hold over the transfer budget. Hopefully, the in-comers will be quality – not just potential – who can contribute from the get-go.
This season was a real roller-coaster ride. It’s not life-or-death and, most definitely, it’s NOT more important than that. I enjoyed it, I was happy with the banter that Scott’s blog affords me, and I am already looking forward to more blood-rushes in the near future.

Wee wes Clique
Fuck no then Cedars will start on me already!
Blue moon rising ? Up in the sky ? my arse .enjoy your stay
Just remember , the RED sun will ask you to bend over and get humped and shine longer and farther than u can ever imagine .
We Want Our Title Back !!!
But I feel so frustrated, so anger
not because we lost it in the last 90 seconds,
not because we lost it to city,
not because all those ABUs who have nothing to cheer about their clubs are so happy today.
no not because of all the above but because it feels like we have walked across manchester and handed the trophy to city.
It does not matter how long you are on this earth you will only get a few chances of glory ever and you have to grasp them with bith hands and this season these players have thrown it away.
I can not even think about the Wigan and Everton games without getting so f***ing mad.
Cedars
Not by me mate, you’d be decorated.
denton
Well then I’ll just be second to SAF on this transfer business
It’s amazing how the reaction on here is that we’ll be back next year to get our title??? On what evidence??? The last 20 years?? The experience we have in our squad???
Maybe it’s this attitude that we’ve developed by winning so much has got us spoilt.. The fact is that we have GIFTED city the title a year early. If we can win 12 titles then with their money can certainly do that.. And most probably more European cups too.
We are left with a skeleton of a side that has been embarrased and humiliated by their lowly neighbours and blown a lead that has never been done in history.
The writing was on the wall last season but was masked due to the achievement of the team.
No doubts if we don the same today SAF would have glazed over it.
Things need to be done NOW before we turn into the dippers and watch City do what we’ve done over next 20 years.
Things might look different when the dust settles but this is a key time for United. They need to get this summer and next season right.
well we gave them a good fight right till the end, and if not for the goals and some slipups in our previous games, it would have been us celebrating the 20th today… nevertheless i just hope the team gets better next season and we rule once more, but there was a glint which i could not understand in rooney’s eyes by the end, and am hoping its not a thought about moving on to another club or the bitters. and better not thrash arsenal next season, keep the goals to score against the bitters instead and claim back our crown
I’m proud to be a RED. We fought until the end even after being handicapped through injuries ALL season long. Everyone here should hold their heads high. Get on with it. Bring in next year. Money comes and goes….we are winners. If its not this next year, it our be the one after that. We will never give up….our history proves it and we’ll always be there, fighting….winning!
Chin up lads. Chin up. UNITED WE STAND!
Denton, Well said. I too enjoy the banter that ROM offers. Hell, it is the only way I know to pass some time before August when the new season kicks off. International football can fuck itself in the arse. I don’t give a fuck about that. ROM is where this summer is at.
Costas, Ah, I thought that sounded familiar. Still, awesome angry post by your standards since you are usually one of the softies on here, if I can compliment you by saying that.
This time it is going to be the wee-Kagawa clique. I believe Denton and Jeet are already members. Who else is up for it?
Vishal,
well said buddy,
Kings,
I m okay my friend, not the best of the times but thats what the game and the club teaches..gotta have faith and like you and other reds, i believe we will be back to kick these disgraceful asses..
Hope you are okay my friend..
####
Cedars,
No you wont be sentenced, because i will take the irresponsibility of going to police myself and surrendering by telling the murder was by me
I know the title was lost on details, but I hope Fergie and the club don’t misinterpret that and they strengthen the team. The truth is that we closed the gap on City and overtook them after we got eliminated from every competition because we couldn’t handle playing in more than one. Time to build a strong squad and stop relying on injury prone or players over 32.
Don’t get me wrong, Scholes, Ryan and Rio were fantastic today, but remember when our team was averaging 23 at the start of the season?
Not exactly an emphatic title win was it? Just scraped home on goal difference the spawny twats. Fair do’s to Joey Barton though, he solved the Falklands problem all on his own, Kettleneck looked like he’d run into 2 Para and that fuckin Kun(t) Aguero went down like the Belgrano, just wish he’d slapped Scarf on his way off the pitch. By the way, the 12 is a reference to the average IQ of a City fan.
@RedHarry
I bet yu wouldn’t have felt anger had anyone told you we’ll be fighting for the league on the last day of the season after the defeat at home to city, vidic being ruled out for the season or Fletch`s illness.
I rather feel proud my team was fighting till the end.
Was one thing watching the games unfold in a Limassol pub, one where non knew what the fuck was going on… Then everyone shouted ‘What an idiot’ I turned around unwillingly to see the cunt being shown the red…….. As much as I wanted to believe I knew right there it was over
@Balaji
Thanks mate. I appreciate being a softy.
But certain occasions call for people to release their Hulk.
I won’t get involved in any Kagawa wars. The guy will arrive anyway. But if anyone’s up for it, we can start the Sneijder war again. That’s the kind of stuff that makes me want to Fly.
I Can not fucking believe it but manchester council are letting Shitty have victory parade. we win it 12 times never have a parade, WTF we won the Champions league not allowed to have a parade, shitty win the EPL and have one.
“To accuse him of lacking hunger, ambition and determination would be tantamount to heresy.”

very funny, hope the same fate for those fucking idiots
Ferguson told MUTV: “On behalf of Manchester United I’d like to say congratulations to our neighbours. It’s a fantastic achievement to win this league.”Our rich history stands us aside – it’s better than anyone. It would take City a century to get our level of history.”
shity are 100 years behind us,proud to be a man utd fan
I didn’t expect to be this tight at the end, that’s why this hurts more.
Watching all the games of United and at the end to be disappointed and feeling gutted. That hurts-
Of course I prayed a miracle, and it almost happened. But this is football. After all, they won the league with goals, not points, so that tells something about us.
GLORYGLORY ManUtd!!!!!
Waiting for the next season already
I declare that I do not want Sneijder in the team
Therefore me and Willie and FITB and anyone else will have to fight Cedars and Costas on other transfers
@Vishal S
Absolutley but if you had been told we would be 8 POINTS clear with only 6 games to go and we would throw all the good work away I bet you would have felt disbelief and anger
Balaji,
I m in for Kagawa,
have been following him since i was on diapers
I feel like crap -utterly disappointed but we’ll be back.
What I hate today is all the ‘other’ fans who take more pleasure in United losing than their own teams winning – fuck em.
That I won’t stand for – off to play footie and take some legs off
Okay I can’t remember who on here said Barton would do a job for us if we got him
Own up now because all I will do is this anyway
and when we got relegated in the middle 70s i felt anger but I have never felt anything else but so pround to be privileged to be a United fan
Who the fuck are Man Utd who the fuck are Man Utd who the fuck are MAN UTD
When the REDS go marching On On ON
Meanwhile in England
A dog apparently won Britain’s Got Talent?
@MG
That was willie. I will rat him out now.
He wanted Barton and I was adamant that retarded thugs have no place in the team. Started and ended the season with a red card. Only thing worse than his attitude is his moustache.
I agree i would have. But then, the thing i have learnt from following United is it isn’t over until the final whistle is blown. Its no use of being ahead while the race is on. Its the finish line that matters.
Rio Ferdinand:”It’s disappointing to lose the league. It’s a cruel way to have lost it, but you have to congratulate the other team.
“I got the word in the game that City had scored and made it two each, then our game finished and it just went flat and silent. Everyone was just waiting. Then the cheers from the home supporters let us know that City had scored and the title had gone to them.
MG,
I want sneidjer…scholes..
Same height,
same boot size,
same position,
what else you want to cinvince?
Breaking News:

@ James7t7 – bore off with your negativity mate. We only lost the league on goal differential. You think that all the injuries we’ve had all season did not take a strain on our chances to win the league? Do you think that Rooney, Evra, Carrick, Rio playing almost every game of the season does not affect their fitness? Sir Alex has said it in the past, you need a bit of luck to win the league, and it simply wasn’t on our side this year….we move on…fix what we can, when we can, and we go from there.
James7t7 says: “It’s amazing how the reaction on here is that we’ll be back next year to get our title??? On what evidence??? The last 20 years?? ”
Simple answer…YES!…and bit of advise to you….stop this sappy and irrational rant against those who have seen this side come back from much worse than this over the years. This club is built on deifying and beating odds. Let Sir Alex do his job….he knows whats best for the club better than any of us.
Iced earth,
to hear it from sunderland fans,
just imagine the pain the players, the staff, the fans of United in the stadium of light might have gone through
we gotta chin up..Victory and defeat go hand in hand sometimes..
Our day will come and our flag will fly higher..
the doubters and the plastics can fuck off
http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/football/manchester_united/s/1497763_sir-alex-ferguson-congratulates-manchester-city-but-says-manchester-united-history-sets-reds-aside
Losing out tonight has left me iced out for some reason
So, have we signed MG yet?
according to Sky Sport Deutschland we are in for Robert Lewandowski
As a massive Joy Division fan I would like to send a thought to Ian Curtis who was a Man City fan and congratulate City on winning it. The Premier League is often debated around the world and sometimes media and others question wether it is the best league or not.
I think we can all safely say that whatever happens the Premier League has an amazing way to provide the spectacular like it did once again today. You could not dream it up and whoever the Hollywood director is that is behind all this drama he or she is making a hell of a job.
Listening to SAF
I think he’s finally ready to take city on – that’s not to say that he wasn’t a month ago, but I’m talking about shutting up shop before he retires.
Two challenges left – The CL and now city.
Will be interesting next year with the final being in Wembley – if things do happen that could be it – so I do think we are going to have an interesting time ahead – especially with transfers and they will be the right ones.
SAF hasn’t got that much time left – it was etched on his face – only he knows why United fell short from the inside – and only he knows what he has to do.

The Red shirt we wear represents Defiance . We WILL come back stronger,hungrier,and woe be tide anyone who stands in our way.It’s all in the name .We are UNITED!!!
Gatto-fucking-wawi seems all the rage now………Sign him up I say
Fuckin gutted. I started today with not much belief……..but for about half an hour, I genuinely thought we could pull it off. It’s the hope that kills you!
Fair play to City – the best team always wins the League and this season that was them – but only JUST. It was marginal, fractional.
From our point of view – for a team in transition to take it all the way to the final seconds of the season is an achievement that they deserve a lot of credit for. 89 points normally wins you the League ffs! Throw in all the injuries we’ve had, and its an even better achievement. If City had been without Kompany and Toure for as long as we were without Vidic and Fletcher – they wouldn’t even have got 2nd IMO.
Their team is in its prime, ours isn’t. So can you imagine what we can achieve when this team fully develops and matures?
Go back to when Fergie was building his last great side, the middle of the last decade. I don’t remember that team competing for titles? Yet they went on to achieve greatness. So this current crop are already “ahead of schedule” if you know what I mean. A few more signings, and a few of the older players gradually eased out, and we’ll be fine.
We were champions when our game finished. A pity the city game couldnt have finished at the same time!!
MG is always signed up!
Honorary membership and all
@devil310 this season is also part of our history. You name me 5 positives from it?? I’m sorry you don’t like my negativity… I think I’m entitled after this seasons performance. All I’m saying is that unless we halt our obviously visible downward spiral then it could be many years till we get near the summit again.
I’m a red through n through and been there since before the SAF era…and if only my efforts in supporting this team was matched by certain players… I’d have no need to voice my concerns.
There are issues with the team that need sorting… And I have every right to state them.
GGMU!
@denton davey
I don’t think anyone actually thinks there aren’t good players abroad, there is however the issue of them being suitable for the English league which is always an issue. Veron is perhaps the perfect example, was one of the truly top players when we signed him but his style just wasn’t right for United or England or look at how well Forlan has done in Spain when he struggled at United. Perhaps at lesser clubs they would get time to develop the attributes they need to succeed in this league that maye they haven’t needed in other leagues but you don’t always get that time at a club like United. And if they don’t initially perform the media can kill them, we almost saw that with De Gea which has to be taken into account
It’s easy as fans to be all Football Manager about it but we have to bow to Fergies superior knowledge of what’s needed to succeed (and even then there are so many factors that you ant account for so players he felt may fail). You mention Ozil and clearly United were interested but we don’t know for certain if united passed or if Ozil wanted to go to Real. If it was United passing I’m not sure it was an awful decision, he has struggled from a stamina point of view in Spain and our leagues a bit more physical and played at a higher tempo so you have to wonder how he would have progressed at United. Suspect he may have spent much of the time on the bench despite his obvious qualities whie his game adapted.
Of the young players we have been linked with as one of the older and due to knowing how to deal with expectation I think Kagawa as the best chance of making an immediate impact but not expecting anyone he signs from abroad to make an instant impact where as I would someone who is used to England and the league.
MG: – issa no issa dhat game no issa no issa oooh no oooh no isaa.
“I think we can take great credit,” Sir Alex told MUTV. “We’ve had to contend with a lot of injuries this season so I’ve had to change the team around a lot. That didn’t always help us.“I have absolutely no recriminations about our season at all. Yes, there were times we can look back and say we’ve done this wrong or we’ve done that wrong, but 89 points would have won the league in most seasons.
“We did our best today and but for their goalkeeper we could have scored seven goals. We hit the post, the bar, their goalkeeper made some fantastic saves. We conducted ourselves in the right way. It was a good level of performance.
@MG
Haha..absolutely mate!

Cracking post btw, so with MG signed our midfield and defensive problems are solved as he is versatile in cracking the fuck out of any troll or WUM and equally brilliant at defending the proud institution that Manchester United is!
I salute you buddy as you are one of the very few people here who are always there to lighten up the place when it all seems doom and gloom and your words along with fellow reds provide some much needed perspective when it’s so badly needed!
On another note, we will be back you Shitty classless poznan aping cunts! Enjoy your fucking moment and then prepare for a hungry Manchester United to come and wrestle back the title from you small time classless cunts!
B.E.L.I.E.V.E
United`s Positives from this season:
David De Gea- No more debates. The lad is going to have a brilliant future ahead.
Johny Evans &Chris Smalling: Well that`s the CB positions sorted out for atleast a decade
Danny Welbeck: The lead striker.
Ashley Young: Perfect replacement for Giggs.
And with Phil Jones adding a year of experience under his belt.
My Heart is broken. it stings. To lose by GD.
Its like a Boxing fight where both are level on points but the Challenger receives the belt because he landed 8 more jabs than the former champ.
I can find it in myself to Joke, I am hurting ! I collapsed similar to Munain when they scored.
@Costas
Thought Giggs was awful in the second half. I forgot he was even on the pitch at 1 point as he was so Anonomous. Shame as 1st half was one of his better ones recently
I actually thought Giggsy had one of his few good performances this season. Even Jones and Evra, who’ve come in for some stick, had pretty good performances. There was nobody who I thought was a weak link today.
Then again, maybe that’s because I wasn’t fully concentrating on our game!
Feel like shit but have an insight into how the Bayern fans must have felt – Christ, I can still remember their shell-shocked faces; they had it a lot worse.
So, we’re shit..We’ve lost our stardust…We have no midfield…we’re bloated glory hunters and deserve to suffer….City are the kiddies…Robbie is the man…Moyes going nuts when it’s 4-4 and we’re getting our comeuppance. Yet, despite all this we’ve got record points and have been pipped on goal difference after a slew of injuries.
Sorry to all the non – united cunts here but we will still keep going and we’ll get stronger. City aren’t even a real club , just a plaything and , yes, we’ve got parasites feasting on our blood but in spite of them stealing and wasting our profits, we will see you all out.
I love United and all my fellow fans, you’re my brothers. Everybody else can fuck off and die, no offence like.
You know, since we’re talking possible transfer targets etc. It seems like Kagawa is odds on to join us, but I also think signing Clint Dempsey wouldn’t be the worse bit of business. Ok, he’s not a name that’s gonna set all United hearts racing, but I doubt we’d pay more than 8-10 million, and he would give us a new dimension from midfield with his goals and drive. I wouldn’t want us to just stop with those two, as I see Dempsey more as a squad player, to replace the likes of Park etc. I still want that midfield dynamo though, whoever that might be. That HAS to be Fergie’s first area to look at. Might be worth hijacking Arsenal’s deal for Yann M’Vila. Either way, onwards and upwards.
We will go away in the summer, some will take a break, some go onto the Euro’s, come to the olympics, others will sit at home wondering.
I will no longer mention why we lost the league.
“Sometimes, truth isn’t good enough, sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded. ”

Walking in a Fergie Wonderland
@MG
Absolutely true buddy.
So, let’s sign another set of twins then – Sachu Sanchez and the “Fly”-ing King!
@vishal De Gea… No question marks??? Are you sure?? I think the defense has been at sea this season. And came back to haunt us in the Everton Game.
Danny Welbeck.. Our main Striker??? 1 goal in 14 games.. Well I’m rubbing my hands at that one!
I fully agree with Ashley Young.. Brilliant this year
I’ll agree with you on Evans… But smelling has done a John I shea.. Not so great second season.
As for Jones… Jury’s still out on him… Bit to giddy for me and one who believes in his own press too much. Maybe the comments of him being future captain has gone to his head.
I will add that yet again Scholesy showed his weight in gold and without him who knows where we will be.. He made Carrick believe in himself and brought back the player we know and love.
As for Rooney.. He did his best but needs more support.
season’s over, now lets talk transfers
watched kagawa played the final against bayern, he’s worthy of wearing the red shirt i believe
Imagine having the history of Manchester City.
Imagine beeing a whore.
Imagine beeing spineless.
Imagine ending up like Summerbee.
It will be so sweet when we knock them down again.
prasan_UTDfan4life
No thanks mate I don’t really want to go up against them lot
@ James7t7 – here are 5 positives:
1) We finished tied at 1st place with 87 points – 19pts ahead of 3rd place
2) Rooney’s 28 Goals – His personal best.
3) Watching Paul Scholes again
4) The youngsters: DeGea, Evans, Smalling, Jones, Cleverly, Welbeck. All played their part this season. Brilliantly at times…in some cases…most of the time.
5) We never gave up. Even after having on of the worse injury record this season
This downward spiral thing you talk about is all about perspective. You should trust the manager mate. I know we can improve, but we aren’t as bad as you’re making us out to be.
James7t7 – united need 3 to 4 players, and 4 or 5 players need to go. For me this is what united need?
players needed – a defender, 2 CM players, a striker
players to go – anderson park berbatov owen macheda
That is what I think will happen, we need real quality in the centre, more back up at the back, and certainly another world class striker to help rooney out
build a team around Carrick, Scholesy, Giggs & Rio. Money doesn’t matter, look at what Liverpool did during the 70′s & 80′s.
united have all the pieces in place, accept for the engine room. If I was the boss, I would gut this position, and get totally new players for the CM. welbeck and hernandez are good, but we are missing another world class striker to help rooney out, if rooney is not on his game. This midfield is now at the end of the road, and the sooner we sort the midfield out, the better it will be for the club’s chances to win another title, and compete in europe
fergie is the boss – spot on post, mate.
I do trust the manager Devil mate.. I’m just Narked off.. I think RedHarry4Life hit the nail on the head and I hope he don’t mind if I requote him
“no not because of all the above but because it feels like we have walked across manchester and handed the trophy to city.
It does not matter how long you are on this earth you will only get a few chances of glory ever and you have to grasp them with bith hands and this season these players have thrown it away.
I can not even think about the Wigan and Everton games without getting so f***ing mad.”
I could not agree more GUTTED
I’d get Steve Bruce, Giggs Scholesy, Carrick & Rio, i don’t like our new kit. We need more money.
Chris Smelling
That made almost forget about this season
In 2005-06,
- We finished 2nd, 8 points behind
- We was Ko’d from the FA Cup by Liverpool
- We was booted out of the CL, 4th spot by Benfica
- We won the Carling Cup against Wigan.
In 2011-12
- We finished 2nd, Lost on GD
- KO’d by Liverpool in the FA Cup
- Booted out of CL by Basle and Benfica, 3rd spot.
- Booted out by Bilbao in the Europa Quarter Finals.
- Out of the Carling Cup against somebody.
Very similar seasons ! Lets build on this
Night reds,
3 hours sleep before i head to office in the morning..
Hope i either get up in 3 hours to keep myself busy or i sleep for a dozen hours,
will be right back when i m up in the morning..
night..
We will keep the red flag flying high coz Man United will never die!!
If you don’t trust the manager then you don’t trust anything he has managed to do ever
Period
and fuck you bitter cunts, enjoy, this day will never come in your life again!!
You are up against the mighty reds and they always win the wars, if not battles..
The red army will march on cock suckers
Night
God I hate shity & there fans but let them have there moment,
even the sun will shine on a dogs someday !!
we will be stronger for this……………………it fucking hurts
So what I’m trying to say is that we all should trust him to do his job and hopefully everything will be sorted out
Sooner rather than later for all our sakes
Or else this place will transform in chaos and anarchy
i feel sick, absolutely sick, i knew it was going to happen as soon as i heard the reds at sunderland singing the city is yours chant i fet sick, why? the game wasnt even over yet,
i dont know why but when i saw that city fan crying after mackie scored, i said ‘why are u fucking crying? theres 24 minutes to go’.. for some reason i said that.. maybe because im used to watching us do it time after time? but just shows how pathetic city fans are, some even left?
one last thing, we are red and we are proud, united will never die!!!! as city will find out next season
fergie is the boss – Sure! Berbatov was meant to be that striker, with Hernandez and welbeck as back-up. Berba has done his part, but if he is leaving, then we need a new top, top striker to partner Rooney, even if for minimum 30mill. But who fits that bill???
I watched Rooney miss a sitter and then saw him laugh about it. That image will take a while to fade for me.
I await the news of players in, and players out, and I hope it’s a decent sized list.
Night Sandeep!
I take it we’re not going to see a “This is How it Feels Like to Be City” piece anytime soon.
I really do hope city enjoy this
It won’t be every year they get given a title by manchester United
No community shield
Looks like no cups in the squad pic for 12-13 season.
Hope we lose a lot of plastics now !
we need to buy good players, but the glazers will not give us the money like city got. it’s good when you get loads of money to buy the best players. i would buy Messi, we haven’t got the money to buy him i think. michael knighton was good, he would’ve bought Messi. Liverpool whacked everyone in europe without spending loads of money and have more european cups than us.
I will always trust the manager. SAF is the greatest manager that has walked this Earth!
I am gutted because I feel we have thrown away the title this year. We have had a good season but we had it in our own hands and we have just handed it to them.
We do need to do some buying this summer and midfield does need sorting. Says a lot when a 37 years old who only plays half a season and comes out of retirement is by far head and shoulders above all our other midfielders!
Full backs are weak at the minute Evra has had 2 poor seasons and I can hardly talk about Rafa defensively!
Another top class striker would be a great help
There will be a love in with these cunts all summer , wait till they find out what a bunch of twats there fans are . Even when they win the league they don’t celebrate there own team but gloat at United .
Er Messi wouldn’t leave Barcelona unless he fell out with Barcelona
Seriously.
And who gives a fuck about Liverpool?
Swansea
Liverpool
But the greatest present United could get this summer would be new owners that did not take money out of United and just allowed us to spend the money we make
We really need proper investment… Why can’t an Arab who really doesn’t like the City owner buy us…I wouldnt mind that at all.
I was dead against Murdoch in 1998 as I thought that would ruin football.. But now I’m thinking differently.
1 – the number of points that have denied us 6 titles in 6 years – yeah, we really are in decline – here’s to the start of another three-in-a-row next year
RedHarry4Life – I do is well, but he made 2 big mistakes
1 – failing to strengthen the midfield in the summer of 2011
2 – the team he picked against shitty, was maybe his biggest mistake of his managerial career
Buchan73 – are you being sarcastic?
Tonka Norris- I think that was embarrassment
Christian Anderson a left back was an old Championship manager God (now FM) – and he was 14 years old about 7 years ago
I wish he was real wouldn’t mind singing him!
Buchan Liverpool whacked everyone in Europe? Hamburg.. Roma.. St Ettienne? Plus less games too… Scousers had it easy back then haha.
I mean signing him
James 7t7
Do you still choose to ignore the fact Shitty were 8 clear at one point.
Also where on earth do you get the point that Utd have just blown the biggest lead in history
Newcastle blew a 10 point lead in 95/96.
You make some fair points but not sure why so negative. We’ve just lost on goal diference to a team tipped to win by a country mile who have speant millions in three seasons. A team that has just been run to the final minutes by a shit team who have been injury ravaged all season.
89 points is a fantastic haul by such a shit team and on many occaisions would have won the league.
Granted Utd can’t match their spending power but show me a team that can. Until the fairplay rules come into effect we’ll just have to sit back and watch them implode.
SAF will bring in players, players that he’ll feel can improve the side and not players that the papers tell him he’s buying.
All these blue shity fans slagging off fergie & United !!
for fucks sake youve just become Champions fucking enjoy it !!! you sad Bastards
City are going downhill – last time they beat us to the title it was by 2 points. This time only by goal difference.
Get fit and strong Vidic for next season’s battle
Glory, glory Man United!!!
FITB – totally agree.
Add to that.. Failing to replace Ronaldo after knowing he was going for a full season
And…Replacing Queiros with Phelan
It’s just dawned on me how much city will be able to take the piss out of us from now on.
1. They are massive and we are not.
2. Their wage bill I greater than ours.
3. They have more supporters in Manchester.
4. They have the best manager.
5. They have the greater history.
6. They have curly Watts as a fan.
7. They don’t play in table cloth shirt.
8. They don’t have any class.
Life’s a bitch isn’t it.
MG: i was just sayin michael knighton would buy Messi, wots wrong with that? we need to beat Liverpool to 5 european cups and thats a fact!
James21 – well 8 pts clear with 6 games to go, is the biggest collapse in prem history, consider the manager, the players, the experience. I call it the biggest throw away in prem history
This place is about to get heated…
ROM Assemble:
Mancini: Issa win the premiership no?
ROM Assemble:
We have all of us and an FITB
FITB
I would also put the CL final last year as well too – thought whatever team picked would probably have lost – never know though – city team no doubt – would have gladly have loved to have been thrashed as long as we gave it a go
No shots on target was a fucking joke beyond belief
fergie is the boss – couldn’t agree more. Players and Staff bottled it big time.
Fergie is the boss
How can it be when Newcastle threw a 10 point gap away.
MG
I’m as calm as a light summer breeze. Others will get heated long before I do.
James
It’s true I think we’ll have to take second place to Newcastle on that one
James7t7 – we all knew ronaldo wanted to leave, but I call ronaldo transfer, the single biggest waste of time in premiership transfer history, as a united fan. United signing’s since ronaldo was sold, owen valencia obertan bebe smallen hernandez DDG jones young. Now there is something deeply wrong with how united have done their transfers, when we see the amount of cash from ronaldo, and tv revenue the club gained.and not even make a 30 million pound signing. Not even bother to make progress.
Fucking lucky world. I didn´t knew it was so fucking hard to get a machine gun in this forsaken country.
James
I have no doubt about that –
Just as calm as me and that world famous Lebanese on a beach.
Buchan73
Ha Ha Ha Ha. Classic. You sarcastic bastard. Love it.
James21 – because you are talking about sir alex ferguson, and his know how, in how to win the prem title, 12 titles under the boss’s belt. This squad has under its belt, 4 league titles since 2007, 3 CL final appearances, winning one of them, countless suropean experience. And the necwastle gap, there were 12 to 14 games. United this year, with 6 games to go, had a 8 point gap, the real united, would have rapped the title up with 3 games to spare. or less. And no offence to newcastle, they could not defend, had a over emotional manager, and the club at the time was a bit of a circus. And united already took their inform striker
MG
That Lazy Lebanese beach dweller.
yes MG. issa no yes sausages issa an italian person. and an FITB, lots of FITB. oops issa good oops issa bad. erm lost the league in the last minute. build a team around carrick giggs & scholesy, issa problem. night.
FITB
I thought the Owen transfer made sense and it did and then he got injured and carried on getting injured – I knew it was bad but not that bad – alas a fit Michael Owen would have been fun over the years especially in 2010 when Rooney got injured.
It just wasn’t to be.
Bebe thing I don’t get – Diouf good player not United type – Obertan no idea – lots of misses but of course lots of hits too.
Berba for 30 million? In hindsight no, not now – but for everything he did last year – it worked – though SAF lost faith in him – why didn’t he just sell him last summer and buy one midfielder for starters?
That’s the one I don’t get this season.
If you want to be really pedantic with the settee mouths – just tell them that the really great teams of Europe all came second this year – United, Bayern, Barca, and Milan.
Ok, time to be constructive.
They were going to walk the league with a 15 points margin. They didn’t, and that against a United team in transition fighting more injuries than I can remember in my 27 years as a fan.
We handed them the title, so I guess we can’t complain.
First trophyless season since 2005.
Can this team go on to be better than the 2008 team?
Who should we buy.
Will City be better next year?
Can any one else challenge Manchester for real (in the PL)?
There’s no Ronaldo in this team, and there won’t be. The Sanchezes, Hazards and Neymars of the world are drawn towards money. But there are more promising players in this team than in the 2005 team.
I do believe Cleverley, Welbeck, Smalling, Jones and De Gae will improve and be the back-bone of the team in the future. Rooney will be the “father figure”
Competition is healthy all over. But we need two midfielders.
Kagawa and a more versatile one. And we need a left back. I’m sure this will be sorted, and that the cost will be around £50m. Will Keane will join the squad and someone we’ve never heard of will be added on the cheap.
We have a few question marks. Jokers. If one or two of them come good it’s like signing a great player:
Anderson – play consistently like when on top or leave. If he can do the first he’s better than that Newcastle guy.
Cleverley – Every time he’s on the pitch I like what I see. Most promisinng MF from the academy since Scholes. Hope he stays fit to proove himself.
Rafael – like Anderson. Please get rid of mistakes and you could make the RB your own spot for years.
Nani – Better and more important than Silva! Yet he has more to offer! Time to step up and stay there.
Tunicliffe – Well he must be better than Henderson??
City: Where do they go from here?
If FFP were not a reality, they could just buy Hazard, Neymar, Goetze, Van Persie and a few good defnders (they need that). It would cost them £200m but that’s nothing for their sugar daddy.Now they can’t. If they sell Tevez, Adebayor and Dzeko they could get around £55m, meaning they could buy Van Persie. Getting rid of some dead wood would maybe clear the way for Hazard too. But let’s just hope Bridge et al refuse to bow for the sheik. But if they are smart they should get 2 defenders. I don’t think they will. They should, cause there’s no way they will be this lucky with injuries next season.
2nd season EVERY ONE will want to beat them. They will have the same problems with their ego players, and new one will arise. They will be better, but only slightly. If no talents emerge from “Elite squad shit” they will last 4 years and then decline. IF FFP is a reality. We will see. Obviously the Ethad £400m deal is bollocks. Does that prick Platini have the guts to do something about it? 4 years.
X-factor is forces outside of Manchester. I don’t believe in Newcastle and Spurs. They will lose key players and nor be able to replace them.
Arsenal, if they keep Van Persie could come good. Wilshere will be like a new player, and they take some good vibes with them from the last half of the season.
Chelsea will have one last dig at glory. But that Mafia guy “in charge” is to stupid. He will blow it again. And I don’t believe for a second that they will beat Bayern. It’s been a pleasure watching them sink. And I will be there to wave good bye in a few years when they go under water.
Liverpool will make us laugh. The weong doings of this year will take many years to repair. They have so much crap they can’t sell. If the owners are smart and in it for the long haul, they may slowly get there. But not for 4-5 seasons.
I thought it would hurt more. But the thing is:
It took the arabs £950.000.000 to get to where they are. And in 2 years time the problems will show. Maybe even next season we will see a few small signs. Patience is a good thing when you have young, hurted talent comming through. We will build a new UNITED team!
19, going on 20
@Ed
i could not thank you enough for those comments brother. my thoughts exactly!!! brothers! everyone else can actually fuck off and die!!!
Forget singing players…..we need new team medics…………..
PS: does anyone think how bulked up City players are…………………..I m guessing some “stuff that needs to be banned but hasn’t been”
Fergie is the boss
Missing my point. How can it be the biggest premier league loss when Newcastle threw away a 10 point lead. Its yours and Jamest7t veiw and not fact.
I am glad for all the abu-fans out there. They rather want a random team with unlimited resources and 40+ overpaid superstars win the league then Manchester United. Still we lost the league at overtime and our own stupid mistakes. And that is a year where we had 10 players or someting on the bicycles all the season, including our captain. And a year where our youngsters were about to be pitched in. Not that bad after all. United til I die. Bring on next season. Let them think they deserved it, we all now what the truth is.
Buchan73
I have no idea what the fuck you are on about
I for one wouldn’t want a team built around Giiggs and Scholes and Carrick, and I don’t believe it has been – the youngsters have gone in made mistakes – hopefully will have learned from every single one of them.
You can take the piss out of me I don’t really give a fuck
I’m not a fucking Italian and don’t give two shits about them – apart from Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Cataldo
Carry on as you were – free choice and all
James:
I think the girls in bikinis are getting to him
I shud hv said Signing …………………wat kind of a club has singing players?
@James21 … I was referring to the point that no one has lost an 8 pt lead that late on in a season… As we lost greater lead to Arsenal in 97/98.
I’m may come across as negative but to be frank.. I have every right to be after today.
I don’t buy the fact that City are better than us.. I don’t deny the fact that they were 8 pts clear of us at one point… But it was the nature of our team displays in the games that mattered is downright worrying…
Not only did we not learn from Basle n Benfica at OT but when we needed a win away in Basle.. We ballsed it up
We then lost to a 2nd rate Crystal Palace team at home… Regardless of carling cup or not.. It was poor.
The FA Cup defeat at Anfield was a bitter pill to take and the Europa Lg was a chance for the lads to salvage their European Cup exit.. And when it come down to it they bottled it.
I’m afraid the lg collapse since the Wigan game has summed this current team up in my opinion.. And yes it is negative and hence my negativeness.
I always believe in all of SAFs teams as that’s what we need to do… I even stuck a wager on us to win the league this morning.. Like to know how many others had that blind faith.
But now the season is over and I can say it how it is.. I’ll be the first one pumped up for the start of next season.. I’m already waiting for the fixtures on June 18th.. I’ll be there believing we can do it again.
But I’ll say again… I have every right to have a pop at this team. Its like the opposite of the 1999 season.
James21 did we not throw away a 14 pt lead to Arsenal… And nearly again to Blackburn in 93/94… However with so little games to go.. An 8 pt lead is a full on calamity as FITB states with our manager and our so called experience was a Devon loch
The team that wouldn’t die says
get loads of money – all sorted.
In the tone of Sam L jackson Jules in Pulp Fiction
Stay cool James
Are we cool James?
James is cool mr MG
James7t7
No problem with your points. And yes there have been some strange results this season. I remember lots of strange results over the years but just take them as football. Shitty won it on goal difference and goal difference only. So can’t really see many negatives. Our new goalkeeper took time to bed in, we have lost our best defender for the best part of the season we have had injury after unfortunate injury that have definately unsettled us yet for some reason some posters choose to ignore it ,come on here and only look for negative points that to be honest aint really there. The table speaks for itself. Goal Difference.
I agree with FITB that all things considred, this was the worst choking in EPL history. Newcastle lost a bigger lead, but that happened over a period of 2-3 months. Not like this. And not this close to the end of the season.
@Wakey
Giggs’ age started showing in the 2nd half I feel. One of the reasons United’s performances in the 2nd half tend to get worse is the fact that Scholes and Giggs start tiring. Nonetheless, Giggs for a while looked better than he has in recent weeks.
MG
I just found your wallet. Says ‘Bad mother Fucker’ on it.
could be worse
could be scouse
could be worse
could be Fred done
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soccer-dirty-tackle/bookie-already-paid-man-united-needs-final-day-092338222.html
James7t7
Always thought that was 16 points but I’ll take your word.
Couldn’t agree with you more James21 in regards to Vidic.. We should have won it after their defeat at Arsenal.. And losing on goal difference isn’t any consolation.. It in fact is worse when you consider that we had opportunities against Fulham and QPR at home and didn’t take advantage. Our naiveness at conceding 3 in the last 90 secs at OT against City.
These are such un utd traits that the manager needs to sort.
One point that has been mentioned.. Was SAF during the Everton game when 4-2 up laughing and joking with the 4th official? Wasn’t it that sort of thing that Bayern were doing in 1999 that spurred Ole on to score the goal and mimic Baslers celebration… Maybe I’m nit
Nitpicking… But this just isn’t the United I know… From the top down.. The fans deserve improvement in attitude from the squad.
MG
don’t swear at me, you rotter. Italy is a very nice country, nice people. i’m partial to their rissoto’s. It’s not been a good day for you, but let’s not get personal. Liverpool have won 5 European cups, city won the league but go easy, que sera sera, etc etc x
James.. Maybe it was 16
.. This blog is a good release… I’m feeling calmer.. Until I have to deal with the City fans tomorrow
We need to show real intent in the close season. If we fail to strengthen the key areas and I mean REALLY STRENGTHEN these areas for a 3rd summer then there is definitely something not right. Sir Alex has said he has targets in mind, let’s hope he can get them without interference. Gonna have to face the bitter fuckers tomorrow, not gonna be pretty, but I will meet them head on and last season will soon be forgotten. Just a thought, what would they have done with all those Champions 12 t-shirts had Aguerro failed to score?
James7t7
We will be back. They’ll all think we are finished. People told me Blackburn will dominate. They also told me Chelsea would. They’ll be telling me shitty will next. Never listen I just smile.
I still can’t see any negatives except Europe, but then the new Barcalona didn’t do too well either.
M19ke
At least i won’t have to change your Moniker. Although I wouldn’t have minded.
James7t7
I might be wrong about 16 just always thought it was 16. Best to ask Costas.
Gareth Barry was quoted on the BBC website thusly “I was fearing the worst with five minutes to go. It was a massive mountain to climb. It all fell into place with qpr knowing they were safe and all of a sudden we were on a high”.
Bolton cost us the league………..not Barton……..Fergie sign him………………… oh wait
James21
The old Barcelona haven’t won much either?! Just want the new season to start soon as!
MG
Stay Cool ,Stay Cool ,don’t rise mate. You bad mother Fucker.
How did QPR know they were safe? I will take great pleasure watching our boys take 6 points off QPR next year!!
James21 – Oh yeah I know… Never write us off.. But all good things can come to an end if we not careful. They have the ridiculous amount of money and the title which will always help… Yeah we finally caught up with Chelsea after 2 years then silenced them.. But that was with a young Rooney and Ronaldo coming through… I dont see that in this team. But if he buys well this pre season then of course we’ll be back.. But regardless of that.. My Dispondancy is best summed up by RedHarry4Lifes comments..
“no not because of all the above but because it feels like we have walked across manchester and handed the trophy to city.
It does not matter how long you are on this earth you will only get a few chances of glory ever and you have to grasp them with bith hands and this season these players have thrown it away.
I can not even think about the Wigan and Everton games without getting so f***ing mad.”
GUTTED… They cocked it right up and to City of all teams. WHY???????
Mikekelly12 says: “Just a thought, what would they have done with all those Champions 12 t-shirts had Aguerro failed to score?”
probably the same as all the Champ2ons scarfs end of play…
Did we have scarfs?
MikeKelly.. They knew cause the sod of a Tannoy announcer felt it right to announce the Bolton result before the final whistle… Which if true is not right
Still absolutely devastated but one thing I will say + sing is – Mancini are u listening, u better keep our trophy glistening CAUS WE’LL BE BACK IN MAY TO TAKE IT AWAY WALKING IN A FERGIE WONDERLAND!
Proud of the lads no matter what! I fucking Love Manchester United Football Club and that’ll never change! We’ll never die and we’ll be back next season a better and more experienced team. 1 love MUFC. Cheers lads. Its been emotional!
James7t7
Seriously?! Are you kidding me?! That’s fucking bang out of order?! That can’t be allowed surely?! And then they let 2 goal in in injury time? That’s corrupt as fuck?!!
James7t7
I need the fair play rules explaining to me. As far as I’m aware the Shit won’t be able to spend anywhere near the cash they have been doing. Utds foundations are already laid whereas theirs are no existant. How do they plan to make money when they can’t even fill their stadium and most of the world has never heard of them. We won’t go the same way as the scousers, the scousers were arrogant and couldn’t see the others catching them up until it was too late.
@Mikekelly12 :
the commentator on ESPN confirmed that when QPR were told abt Bolton result during City’s celebration of their 2nd goal ( 2-2 )……………nways………….who cares …….we hv a new season with Kagawa in it
Thinking that some fantasy financial fair play rules will hinder shittys spending sprees over the coming years is naive at best.
James
It’s cool James it’s cool – even without lemon ice tea it’s cool!

OK I’m naive. So come on explain them to me as I have asked.
Somebody remind me the last time the scourers were ahead
Oh yes United beat them to it
Goes around in circles – we lost and bottled it – now we’ll see what we are made of and city are made of
But Liverpool are not in the equation
At all
Go figure
M ‘Bad Mother Fucker’ G
Iced Tea? YUK!
As far as I’m aware there is still a maximum squad size and teams can only field 11 players on the pitch at one time. How many new players do city plan on signing and what are they gonna do with the old fuckers?!
Funny how Liverpool want city to do there job
Stop United winning championships
How the mighty have fallen
Enjoy your 5 European cups
Can you count 19 on one hand?
Bet you can’t
James
I like that – will you print me a new wallet?
Lemon Ice Tea is great stuff – I’m talking the fresh stuff I found in Malaysia
Not the bottled shit we get here!
M19ke
Its a squad game mate. They’ll have 30 odd world class players with no home bread youth players. They’ll dominate for 100s of years and Utd? Well we’ll just fade away baby.
Mike
Maybe city will sell the unwanted on Ebay?
champ20ns MG. champ20ns. lookin at you *****
James21… not sure about the rules myself too… it would be good if so but with money comes corruption… key is positive early signings!! Send out a message.
MikeKelly… Agreed… That sort of crap just typifies the nature of their team and their success… blatant cheating!!
Right, these fuckers at United need to tell me if I’ve got a seat in the singing section next season?!!
James
Yes Fade away on Football manager where I’m in charge and FIFA where you’re in charge
And we’ll have to digitally clone SAF because no manager will give a fuck about Manchester United
If we are lucky we can get Mick McCarthy in charge with Heskey as number two – you know Terry Connor lookalike
MG
I drink cold tea all the time I always forget its there when its hot.
A new Wallet, Hmmmm Maybe. I’ll get Cedars to put a Lebanese Pound in it.
Liverpool season 2011-2012
Position 8 52 Points
At least the new shirt clearly displays the love for the fallen – at the back
Wow – now the mighty Liverpool can’t even commemorate there dead on there livershite patch
Go figure – brand imaging and all
James21 – so what, if it was a 10 point lead, they were 10 points ahead in march time, we were 8 pts ahead in mid april. Tell me another side that threw an 8 point lead away with 6 games left? no one. And newcastle had never won a league title, newcastle were up against a united side that would go on to win 6 league titles, a treble, and a world club cup.
This united side threw away a league title, with 6 games to go, after winning every trophy in the game, apart from the FA cup. If that is not enough to convince you it is the biggest throw away in prem history, then you do not know the difference between a winner, and a pretender. United were already champions, newcastle were competing to win a league title, with a terrible defence, and a manager that had no plan B. Newcastle were always capable of collapsing, you never would have expected united to collapse, when not only were there only 6 games away, the fixture list was basic. wigan villa everton shitty swansea Sland, out of that lot, I would have expected 15 pts out of 18, and the fact we give away a 4 2 lead against everton, makes this title the biggest collapse in prem history

Basically, when you have enough money and competence, you’ll always find a way. The sheiks have money, I’m sure they will hire some competent people
M19ke
Me too. I’ll lubricate the voice over the next three months in anticipation.
FITB
You are right
James
You are right
That’s the whole point – we never kept to our standards – the joke is on us – even when we had a chance today it wasn’t in our hands
Fair Enough – Rectify that and everything else will follow…
It’s okay Dalglish will have a plan too – Play really well against United and then forget there are 18 other teams
My heart bleeds, it really does.
Finishing 2nd in the league, level on points with the champions. What a tough life it is being an armchair fan.
Try “their” instead of “there”. But anyhow, the Hillsborough / Munich refs not worth it bud.
Fuck the Sheikhs
Let them play there game – We’ll play ours
As long as we don’t play the choking one again, I wish we had all the injuries in the world again and lost it – would have been easier to deal with.
I of course blame John – he could have got sent off and so too Campbell and let us win it on goal difference
Dazbomber- I meant were in for next years title. I must laugh. Those city fans a stsmping and crying prior to the two goal goal fest. No fucking character. Underneath it all , they STILL know they are bottlers. Anyway lads, let’s not become bitter ourselves. Great finish from the lads . Greatest club in the world . It hurts and so it should. Means you care . Red . Council wankers , must be blue.
Whatever – when two clowns who support Leeds and Liverpool are on a United website light years behind us the joke obviously is on the clowns
Carry on
Still does not distract that Liverpool to consult and conduct and enforce a brand image fucked off the Hillsborough flames off the Livershite bird to the back of the shirt.
There is no tribute on the United badge for Munich – soul searching for Liverpool fans with the way they are run not for United
Fuck off
It’s the truth
MG – the berbatov transfer did not count when I was talking about the transfers since ronaldo was sold, but since ronaldo was sold,. we just have not done enough to solve the problem which in the end cost us the title
Now if we are looking into hindsight, let us play the hindsight game. I would trace it back to 2004. Where united should have signed alonzo for 14 million, WS signed instead of anderson in summer of 2007 for 17 million, modric and aguero signed in summer of 2008 of cost of 53 million, sanchez in summer of 2009 for 17 million.
And say that did happen? the best option would have been a change in tactics. To a formation of? 433 looking like this
DDG
rafeal ferdinand vidic evra
alonzo
modric WS
sanchez rooney aguero
Now that is playing a hindsight game, that would have been my hindsight. But we all know we all can play that game
What a tough life it is being a fan of a team that got fucked by Risdale all because he wanted too much glory too soon
Enjoy your depths of despair holding hands with your fellow fans who shout out for shit
LUFC White . Welcome . My heart bleeds or do you mean my arse bleeds. I bet your old man was on the vinegar strokes as you turned up the volume.
Always welcome
MG – I know hillsbrough was a terrible disaster, but the way the liverpool fans throw it down everyone’s throats, like it was at the level’s of the RMS titanic and 9/11, does get on my nerves
FITB
I respect that. I was merely pointing out that since Berba hasn’t been used this year SAF could have sold him last year and bought a midfielder
That’s the only point I was making…
Passe
It doesn’t tell you much so I’m still Naive and in the dark.
FITB
You are still not getting the point.
‘Its yours and Jamest7t veiw and not fact’
MG- you can hardly blame the likes of city Liverpool or Leeds gloating . For so long they have been in our shadow . City have a temporary shaft if light. Their gloating is founded on their cynicism Bourne if underachievement . Allow them to gloat at least . LUFC, thats gloat nit goat.. No need to get worked up.
FITB
Oh but they have only the owners with the consent of Dalglish the King put the flames of the dead at the back of the shirt for branding reasons – and off the livershite bird
And they fucking lecture us about losing to a team we let win – 96 families are not very happy but why would the lIverpool supporter on here give a shit?
Because he finds it more important to put us in our place
Fucking scum
Right, I’m officially calling a halt to this exhausting day!! Tomorrow is the start of preparation for the 2012/13 season and last season will be a distant memory! Later RoM!
LUFC
Have you a ticket for the playoff final at Wembley? Oh shit sorry Leeds never even made the playoffs.
Another case of rival fans coming on a Utd blog to gloat about the achievements of another club.
James21 – I am afraid, 2011/12 season, will be remembered has the biggest collapse in premiership history, go look into the games. Lets put this into perspective, if united played it like champions against everton, united would be champions. Can you name me another premiership collapse, that threw away a 4 2 lead at home with 5 minutes to go
RedBilly
I’m not wound up at all
Liverpool and Leeds have neither won a premiership – Fact
And they both last won titles like 22/18 years ago
I’m not worked up at all – I only would be if they were ahead of us
MG – heck liverpool fans make such a gigantic deal of the disaster, to the point it is overkill where it is talked about for 2 months, it is like it was at the level’s of the holocaust. And I have heard jokes of the holocaust the Hiroshima disaster and the titanic. Have anyone of those disasters years ago bitched and moaned about it
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4314136/Joey-Barton-I-tried-to-get-Man-City-player-sent-off.html
i am sure he get some oil money for this afternon show
Night Mike!
James 21- LUFC is hardly a rival. Unless the two of you are fighting over the same ewe on the moors
Liverpool still believe that they are on 18/7
Leeds still believe that Risdale in in charge
MG – I said worked up in jest my friend .
Arsnal v Spurs in 08. but then thats the only one that leaps to mind. And also I know the game you’re trying to play. If you give me lets say 2 weeks I’ll get all my old programmes down from the loft. On second thoughts I’ll trawl the internet for weeks and see if there was ever such a collapse.
Still stick by what I’ve already said, myself and James7t7 also agreed that Utd threw a 14 or 16 point lead to Arsenal.
FITB
And that’s the point
The club has for years commemorated the disaster on the shirt
Fair enough – they let the families come to the ground and let them grieve
Fair enough
But then now – now because of business greed there new shirt has the flames at the back – disrespectful and disgusting
Why Buch boy wants to come here and wind us up is no mans land job – he should be fighting for some justice – but of course he desk;t give a fuck because branding is more important than the morality of respecting the fallen
Therefore the club has shown it’s true colours – it wants to move away from Hillsborough because it means fuck all to them – so where do Buch boy go with that?
With the club or with the 96?
What a catch fucking 22 if there was one
Redbilly
Oh yeh my mistake mate. Premier league wanabe fans.
Liverpool are a fucking disgusting club
They have played shit and have fallen to standards below ahem Everton
They now mock there very own dead by removing the flames of the Hillsborough dead to the back of the shirt
But fans like Buch boy are too fucking bothered to take the piss out of me or correct my spelling mistakes – which I don’t really give a fuck on since the speed I write I know I’m making my mistakes!
However rather than concentrate on Liverpool or LUFC DieHard White on Leeds they want to mock us
That’s how I find it – fucking
Where are you Liverpool bastard? Checking up if I’m telling you a lie?
Fucking 8th position!
And what about you Leeds boy?
Oh yes motherfucker says that we are second to city and inferior and believes we can’t come back but says Leeds will be back in 2 years
The fucking hypocrisy of it all.
Dalglish for the 96!
MG.
ok no more hillsborough stuff bud. & your mates. you lost today but go easy. end of the day Utd, LFC & City fans can be sound. good luck.
MG
Just laugh with them. Let them bask in another teams glory and I’ll bask in the fact Liverpool and Leeds are fucking useless.
LIverpool FC have let the flames of the Hillsborough dead fucked off to the back of the shirt because of branding duties and making themselves more open to funding
Liverpool fan here is too bothered to tell me something I already know
We let it go – fair enough – I understand he doesn’t – we lost – I understand – he doesn’t
He doesn’t give a shit about his own pathetic waste of a space of a team but would rather piss on me my team and my writing skills
I’ll blow you away any day of the week bitch just keep an eye out in the writing world I’ll come to scouse house to personally give you a fucking signed copy
Actually no I won’t
Enjoy your 8th place and CL next year.
Oh wait
James
I am laughing with them but have to now live up to my M Bad Mother Fucker G tag
MG
No worries mate. I’ll have to leave you to it though. Later Mate.
UTD UTD UTD
You sleep good James!
Later mate!
Just have a word with Cedars about the wallet!
Laterz James21…
GGMU! Keep the red flag flying high….
Liverpool and Leeds trolls
Done nothing themselves
Have worse league positions
Have problems of there won
But hey The Kop is obviously fucking too senile and not enough action for the Liverpool fan and for the Leeds fan – he thinks he is still in 92
The world has so moved on
Problems of there won
Fuck it let the Liverpool English Professor sort it out
Some work for him
My English teacher in school used to gloat
Was a long time ago that
Sheep happens.
Beeeee
But isn’t it quite sick
Liverpool the KKK club could not apologise to Evra over a racial incident, his only apology came from a handshake not delivered
Now what are Liverpool fans going to do over the Hillsborough flames being removed?
Will they follow Kim Jong Dalglish or justice for the 96?
Of course now that Everton are above them, United are the least of there worries
As for Leeds they are so shit I don’t even know where there are anymore!
If only Barcelona the greatest team in the world apparently got this much press as United did.
It’s okay Barca we’ll cover your ass!
Costas
You mean Baaaaaa!
Wakey @ 19:57: “there is however the issue of them being suitable for the English league which is always an issue.”
I’ve heard this a lot but I don’t think that either of the two examples – Veron or Forlan – are especially on-point.
J-S Veron was in Keane-o’s immense shadow – Seba needed to be the lynchpin and as long as Roy was SAF’s first-choice then Veron was never going to be “the man” and the team was not going to revolve around him. Wrong place; wrong time.
Diego Forlan – who, let us not forget, made the scousers cry – didn’t get enough game-time on a consistent basis. I don’t think that his problem was that he was “unsuitable” but, rather, that self-belief was knocked out of him by a combination of circumstance: language/cultural differences, slow start, some astonishing and quite hilarious misses, and possibly being a “confidence player” who could never get himself on-track.
Leaving aside these two, who would have thought that David Silva was “right” for the EPL – small, tricky, lightweight, easy to knock off the ball but…..
Besides, I think that the differences between the EPL and other leagues is over-emphasized. It’s still all about having the ability to do things with the ball at your feet – and NOT being afraid of physical contact. BUT physical contact is part of the way the game is played – even in Spain and even by the BarcelonaDivas.
From Rio’s twitter:
“Thanks to all our fans for the quality support this season, gutted we didn’t get the PL trophy for you today. Next season we’ll be stronger.”
Good stuff. It also reminded me of something I forgot today. The tv showed a lot of close ups of our fans today. At the final whistle, the ones I felt more gutted about was them, not the players.. You could tell they were going through a rollerocaster of emotions and I know how awful it is finding out about results elsewhere like this. And sadly, when Dzeko equalized, they knew what was coming. This bunch (as well as our travelling support all season) deserve better next season.
I’m having so much fun, I bet city fans are still having a go at United, I mean why the fuck would they want to celebrate a 950 million first and United gifted win?
Costas
Dzeko will probably leave after he’s been treated and the bastard had to score!
Why couldn’t he have just hit the post!
@MG
I am not fluent in sheep language.
Speaking of animal languages, I wonder how dear old ox head Warnock would have coped today against City.
Let’s be honest
That must have been the most expensive Premiership trophy ever won by an assembled team
I wonder what I could buy for 950 million!
I wouldn’t want to buy a team winning 1 title that’s for sure!
Hello ROMers, First time post so go easy on me!
As a young (comparatively)! Utd fan I’ve led the good life. Cant really complain much tbh. The boss has spoiled us lot and god knows where we would be if it wasnt for him.
Anyways, I just want to write in saying that, Yes a lot of people will be afraid and nervous. But then lets leave the criticism to the Cunts, we are the supporters, sremain United through thick and skin.
For those who think that There will not be a reaction, they are deluding themselves. As people have pointed out, this season has bee real fucked up this season. Just imagine City without Toure and Kompany, Arsenal without Persie and Vermaelen and so on. Does anyone here really think that they could get 89 points and push it to the last minute? Oh and not to forget the fact some great servants have retired. So in a nutshell keep your head high. Be angry, be furious. Its that passion which will get our trophy back. But for gods sake Dont turn on the lads. Not on the gaffer.
Here is to a season which we will make amends for, here is to a transfer window where we finally reinforce the midfield and here is to Engurland and Chelsea majorly fucking themselves up
Costas
Leeds would have easily beaten City!
Even Liverpool
On second thoughts no they wouldn’t have
Leeds I don’t know where the fuck they are and as for Liverpool Steven Gerrard would have played a back pass one after the other just to make sure we couldn’t do it!
Seasons have ended everywhere now and there are some rather interesting final finishes that will most definitely have an impact on transfer plans around Europe, perhaps even our own plans as many have highlighted its time to buy.
Malaga finished 4th in la liga which means Bilbao and A Madrid won’t be in CL next year. Villareal were relegated so many of their players will be leaving.
Both Napoli and Inter missed out on the CL which will means some of their players are going to want to leave.
We all know who the main names are connected to those clubs so we have some major moves coming. Some of those will be “value for money” if we show interest.
If only I had a De Lorean
NRD
Just don’t mention Sneijder mate – he’s the elephant in the room!
Goodnight United
Forged with Watson The Red Knight will Rise
I’m sad and bored, So Im going to pick the England 23-man squad for the Euro’s
Hart, Ruddy, Stockdale
Richards, Walker,Terry,Cahill,Jones,Lescott,Cole,Baines
Barry Carrick Parker
Gerrard Lampard Oxlade-Chamberlain
Walcott Sturridge Young
Rooney Welbeck Carroll
I would win the Euro’s managing that shite
Earlier this week we learned that YaYa wants “to end his career” where his heart is – in Barcelona.
I wonder if Jo$e has his sights on a new central defender – Vincent Kompany. But, of course, “only God knows”.
@ Clint:
Not going to lie just have a feeling that scholsey will be there somewhere
I sense a good season for Leeds coming up. Playoffs, auto promotion, possibly even league winners!
We’ll be back. Looking forward to competing with you lot for the Europa League spots in a few season times!
Yes you see the hypocrisy LUFC
You think you will be back
Back to fucking what?
You haven’t been anywhere for fucking years
But let’s say you choose to be back
Then what stops us?
Just get into the Premiership – that would be good enough for you
Raped by Risdale – because you wanted too much glory too soon – you’ve got fuck all – Manchester United have built a club and foundations to last – this is a time we will have to go through – but won’t end up like you fucking flat on your ass and nowhere to be seen
Where the fuck are you again?
That’s how much not of worth you are
Thanks for replying when you couldn’t take the fucking heat – fucking coward
Cedars is always right – the shit on you fucking assholes is incredible – fucking troll
I would never fuck off to a Leeds site or Liverpool site or any other site
You do fuck all for me – however what you get off on here is understandable
Near enough to fucking what you want to be.
I’m sure someone else will take care of you now I need to have my beauty sleep
As for the Europa League – well you may want to check first – it’s the CL again for us lot – remember that? You know when you were trying to play with the big boys spending more than what you could afford.
Just like city?
Fuck the fuck off
With that kind of money and the squad they’ve assembled Shitty were favourites from the start. That is regardless of us dropping points against Everton and Wigan.
Now I’m more hungry than ever and I know Fergie and the boys are too. As when Mourinho’s Chelsea won it, we became the underdogs and turned the tables on them. We’ll do it again.
We can hold our heads high. So proud of their performance yesterday.
Also, bring on the young samurai (Kagawa).
lol at competing for Europa spots. We won’t be, and you certainly won’t be. Shit cunts
At the rate they’re going, they’ll compete with FC United for the Europa League berths long before they can compete with us again.
Is there still life here. Not ashamed to admit I can’t sleep.
@ MG Lol pal. Tried to avoid saying that, its a trigger word to start a war on here!
Just on Barton sending off what about tevez punched barton before barton stuck the elbow in. Will the Fa tgake a look at that? Where the fuck was the lineman did he only see bartons and couldnt see tevez?
How much they did they cost Sheik Manswhore

Good post. There are many good players that can be bought for cheap if we show interest. Its not like we can’t spend. We need to spend around 75 millions on right players and then we can dominate in all front.
Kagawa deal should be done ASAP. No need to delay it. There are 3 top players in europe who will be available Javi Martinez, Hazard and Cavani. Now I would prefer Martinez but if we sign any one from these three we will dominate again. Ok they may cost more than 30 millions but I won’t mind spending 30 millions on a top player.
We also need a striker to replace Berba and owen. We don’t need to spend that much on a striker. Will keane will join the squad. I won’t mind if we sign Raul on free. He would be better than Owen. But if not then we could look for a decent striker at a decent price. No need to spend more than 20 millions on a striker.
Coming to defence, I feel we should promote some of our talented kids from reserves. M.Keane has been great in defence for reserves. Fryers should be given contract extention. He is a real deal. Can’t afford to lose him. He should be gradually promoted. Other than that we are frontrunner in signing Nathan Clyne from Palace. He looks like the future of england defence.
So from my above observation we have to sign 4 players and that would be enough for us to dominate
Kagawa – 15 millions (Don’t think he will cost just 7 millions)
Martinez/Cavani/Hazard(Any one) – 35 millions
A striker- Not more than 15 millions
Clyne- 5millions
So we have to spend 70 millions which is not that much. Remeber we will also sell some players.So we need to buy some quality players without fail
Ash
United won’t spend 70 million.
Trust me on this one. It won’t happen.
ladies and gentlement here it is 95 minutes champion “Manchester shitty”….. what the f
i just wanna add my opinion,,, only 2 teams that deserve to lift Premiere league;
1. MANCHESTER UNITED
2. Other Premiere league contestant
We will keep the red flag flying high coz Man United will never die!!
Can’t sleep, still haunted by yesterday’s events. I think people are going OTT on the negativity though. This is a growing team – hell, even next year a lot of the players won’t be the finished article. Unfortunately, the modern day fan wants instant results and instant perfection.
Gutted of course, but brilliant article
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ian-carey/a-manchester-united-suppo_b_1513603.html
this paragraph below reminded me of how much we’d come to take the league for granted, i remember one particular article last season after the barca defeat, which insinuated that the premier league was no longer enough for manchester united.
“……..This might sound odd coming from a diehard Man U supporter, but I’m not that sad.
Manchester United has won the league title in four of the last six years. If you win every year it stops being a cause to celebrate, stops giving you something to strive for. This defeat gives every Man U supporter across the globe a reason to want to win the title next year more than ever.
A new season is only three months away.”
I really don’t understand why people get involved in transfer speculation. It’s true we need to strengthen a couple of positions but posting on the Internet who you think we should buy is both futile and really rather childish. It’s like writing a letter to Father Christmas.
We have a pretty good manager that takes care of these things.
Why get excited about something that probably won’t happen.
I don’t want to put anyone down but if people want to see huge superstar signings they are following the wrong club. It’s not the United way.
mancdub
Why not? Last season we spent around 55 milions. This time Sir alex knows he has to buy to win trophies. Spending 70millions on 4 or 5 players is not that much. Spending that much of money on a single player is what United will never do but spending it on 4 players they will do.
And Like I Said we will sell some players so we will recoup atleast 10 millions if not more. Honestly if we are smart we could easily recoup 20 millions by selling Berba, Pogba, Park and other fringe players.
We need a star player and not a squad player only. In hindsight it is possible and it is the right way to move forward.
mancdub
Its clear your last post was addressed towards me. Listen dude this is a Blog and blog like this is for discussion and expressing one’s thoughts. I didn’t mention any superstar to be signed. Every player I mentioned are linked to us and we have great chance of signing them, So I See no point why you are affected. Its a Banter. IF you want to join it you are welcome if not then Don’t join.
“Why get excited about something that probably won’t happen.”
How do you know we won’t sign any good players. So you are underestimating Our club’s ambition. Every one including Sir alex knows we need some quality players. From you arguments its you who are commenting like a child.
Just take a chill pill. I know what happened last night was hard to digest but it was expected that city will win. We can only think about next season and what better way than to discuss about our summer transfers.
We sold the 2nd best player in the world and have replaced him with good but not great players – time to find a great talent whocandeliver now and to properly strengthen midfield. And use Nani properly …grossly underutilised this year
Once again i would like to thank Scott for the existance of this blog, its priceless on days like this.
Would have preferred a comfortable Citeh win yesterday rather than the painful drama in the end.
United should be proud of their effort the entire season, but the huge question marks left on their poor European performances, questionable defending in certain games, and the horrible 4-4 draw with Everton (and losing at home to fricking Blackburn!) need to be addressed thoroughly and properly.
A basic over-haul of the midfield is needed. If the news about getting Shinji Kagawa or Nicolás Gaitán is true then I expect the fat to be trimmed. Sorry to say but Anderson will most likely be sold, as would the fringe players like Macheda. I expect Michael Owen to be released as well.
I have no problem with our defence – despite its inconsistent form – and our strikers, its the midfield that needs an overhaul. With Fletcher’s condition not getting any better and Scholes/Giggs need to be used sparingly, it is high time to beef up the centre.
Bring on next season. Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea have come and gone. Now its Citeh’s turn to face our reaction.
Ash
I never said we won’t sign any good players. I said we won’t spend £70m.
If you want to spend your summer months dreaming that’s your business. But until I see a player in a United shirt I don’t believe
a word in the press regarding transfers.
Kagawa deal is the most optimistic but he is an attacking mid, the role which Rooney has played most of this season. If he comes in, then he will be tried at the wings which will allow only Nani/Valencia/Young to start.
Hoping we will dump Owen, and with Berba on his way out, we can welcome Del Piero with a red carpet.
rumour has it, United have a deal in place to sign Falcao from Atletico…
For me City’s win is a hollow victory , give half a billon to Accrington Stanley they would win the league . It’s going to be a shit day at work today a lot of Blue twats god help me.
This feels like the time Chelsea had Mourinho all over again………..
JT- we will be linked to every man and his dog
The day after the storm time to start building and looking at the seasons mistakes. SAF is the best man to topple shitty. I don’t actually begrudge shitty their triumph because tbh I don’t give a fuck about them. I only watch them when they play Utd so not really interested whats going on there. Utd still managed 89 points which is a fantastic haul for an aparent shit team. We don’t need 5 or 6 players just two decent midfielders and maybe a left back. Time to move on and upwards. Roll on August and the singing section. UTD UTD UTD.
The difference between us and Liverpool is that when we say “it will be our year next season” …. We actually fucken mean it!!!
JT fuck right off u bellend!!!
We won three years in a row and one cannot expect to continue winning, just the law of statistics. SAF has a plan, rest asure, and we will all begin to se it in the comming weeks.
If we had to lose it, better this way than getting butchered and not being in contention.
SAF do your magic.
right off to play with gas. Later Reds. We’ll never die.
Ok, lads – the morning after…how does it feel?
Personally speaking, I was physically sick for a few hours, and then the defence mechanism kicked in and I said to myself, “What the fuck. Get a grip – this is sports. It’s meant to break your heart at some time or the other.”
Already feeling much better in the morning (though it is in times like this that I thank God I don’t stay in Manchester). Many thanks to posters on here for demonstrating a healthy dose of maturity, and particularly to MG for trying to lift our collective spirit.
I’ll say this – it is what it is. We could go on and on about what ifs – Vidic’s injury, Fletch’s illness, Fergie’s tactics, Evans’s redcard, Rooney’s nightout before the Blackburn game, Wigan/Everton, non-penalty against the barcodes, right up to Joey Barton. All of that is ifs and buts. Pointless. As Fergie said 2 years back, we could go on and torture ourselves like that, but we’re better than that. “What ifs” are not for us. “What is” is better and “What will be” is for us to shape.
The table does not lie. The table says that we were second best. By the narrowest of margins ever. So to Manchester City, I’ll say, “Well done. Congratulations, it’s been great fun competing.” No shame in that – after all, we are spotsmen. So accept it we must. If there are jibes coming my way (and you won’t believe – I couldn’t, how much shit we are getting here in India from Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool supporters), I’ll smile, shrug my shoulders and say, “We tried hard – not to be”. Suck it in. Use your anger constructively. Internalize it, stoke the fires gently for later use, don’t let the energy dissipate in trying to answer pointless taunts. Draw a line under it – no ifs and buts, and look ahead.
Being a part of the Manchester United community demands this from us – we take it on the chin, hold our heads high, be gracious to our opponents, and treat adversity the only way we ever should – as a challenge. Because THAT is who we are.
Believe.
Wishlist time,..
actually,
REALISTIC WISHLIST Time:
Kagawa, Sissokho, James, Falcao, and get that Nick Powell kid,
Jeet, morning after? more like night after, i bloody couldnt sleep, my mind kept conjuring up images of qpr defending for those last 2 minutes. when i finally slept at about 2am i woke up at 3:30 am.
Troll Busters are open for business!
Morning United
i couldn’t even watch the MOTD highlights from the CIty game. looks like i will be tuning out from football until the Euros. Very gloom, but there’s nothing to complain about. CIty were the better team throughout the year and they played some good attacking football. hopefully losing out on the titles means there will be players coming in, of the high caliber and for the midfield.
Ash – I think many think the glazers back pockets are empty
Voice of Reason: “use Nani properly …grossly underutilised this year”
I’ve made similar comments before but SAF thinks otherwise. I don’t know why because Nani is the most skilled and most tricky of the trio of wingers – and he can play on either side.
Nani is a game-changer but “inconsistent” (which seems to come-with-the-territory) whereas Antonio Valencia – and to a lesser extent Ashley Young – are players whose job-description is to “feed” the strikers.
It’s the same story with Chicharito/DannyTheLad – one is a game-changer the other is a more complete player who isn’t as frightening for the opposition.
I reckon that one addition – someone to “replace” DarrenFletcherinho will suffice, as long as the injury list can be properly managed.
I asked yesterday if there was any out-field player other than CaptainEvra who was knackered for some period and missed matches = is that bad luck or bad physic/training ?
