Before kick-off today I asked the question was today the day for Federico Macheda? With Dimitar Berbatov injured, Wayne Rooney suspended and Carlos Tevez jet-lagged following his return from South America the evening before yesterday, our options were limited.
Macheda scored a hattrick for the Reserves last week, forcing Sir Alex Ferguson to pay attention. Thank God he did!

Good shout mate, fantastic goal and a good performance from the young man. Freed up Tevez and we looked more dangerous when he came on. I thought Fletcher was quality again today as well.
Kiko macheda Kiko Macheda..
ruined the dippers hope..
as he scored a lop..
Kiko Macheda..
(as in viva ronaldo chant)
just why did the stupid little cunt booked macheda ? over celebrating ? a 17 year old kid scored a last minute winner on his debut gvinig his team a win that might give them a title . and infront of his home crowd and his family . what did he want him to do ? score and smile only . fuck him .
and the boy is a hero for us i cant wait to see him play again .
scott…are you tryin to give me a heart attack
ive only calmed down 2 mins ago now with that link you have my heart pumping
i fucking love manchester united
great stuff……after a few barren years the United conveyor belt seems to be up and running again with plenty of the kids coming on leaps and bounds. what a feeling that must have been for the boy…….fucking brilliant.
for an 18 year old on debut, scoring the winner in injury time at the stretford end.does it get any better than this ?
WHAT A GOAL!!! FUCKING LOVE IT!! I was almost sick at 2-1, couldn’t watch, could see my Liverpool mates having a laugh and it was making me gag, in the last ten I was well pissed off ’til Ronaldo scored then my mate asked 2 mins from time would I take I draw and I said yeh we went onto the move that led to the goal! FUCK ME! ARE YOU FUCKING WATCHING MERSEYSIDE!?
And something else.It wasn’t a tap in,ala the “Captain’s goal” last Wednesday.He won us the game with individual brilliance.His first touch is fantastic
I aint gonna lie i wanted Welbeck on when SAF went for Macheda, I just haven’t seen him and I have seen what Welbesckdamn things were looking rough. I am done questioning Fergie, he is the motherfuckin man!
ps good call scott
a new chant for our wonder kid..
Kiko macheda Kiko Macheda..
ruined the dippers hope..
as he scored a lop..
Kiko Macheda..
(as in viva ronaldo chant)
I can’t even type i’m still fucking pumped and kinda tore up. sorry
Football. Bloody Hell!
And let’s not forget.This result comes without Brown,Rafa,Vida,Rio,Scholesy,Anderson,Rooney and Berba.Not to mention Hargo.
WE SHALL NOT, WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED!
the game finished at about 3AM our time here in Australia…its 5AM and i still cant sleep from the adrenaline! what a fucking goal!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQc7xXo4n6Y
Not one Scouser in here.I wonder why.
Where the fuck was Ronnie in that celebration? Cnut.
My goodness!!! Nothing feels better!!!!
With time running off and ronnie whining like a b####h, i missed wazza like hell today!!!
Scott, maybe we should give Macheda atleast 15mins in our Champions league match on tuesday. He’s made my day!!
See the look on those lads faces?
THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO PLAY FOR MANCHESTER UNITED.
You did us proud today lads.
alpha….will you button it about ronnie…fuck sake some jokers have to ruin it. He gaves us 2 goals…..what else you fuckin want…him wanking over macheda?????
Bloody ell….the young lad macheda scores a winner that could save our season…..the thread is on the young lad…..we should be showing how proud we are off our team with so much adversity…lack of form, suspensions injuries galore…with the dippers good news and luck riding the past month on and off the pitch. We should be congratulating ALL our players for getting us through the nightmare upto the 80th min.
Yet some clowns are still obsessed whether ronaldo does this or doesnt do that.
FUCKIN GET USED TO IT….HE GAVE US 2 GOALS…ISNT THAT ENOUGH?????????? SO WHAT HE’S SELFISH AND EGO CENTRIC AT TIMES AND DOESNT ALWAYS DO A RIO JUMP ON YOUR BACK WANKING CELEBRATION.
Fuck sake…talk about what good ron did…about the vital win and our young hero chico.
not fuckin ruining our day with ron didnt look happy…his haircut was not right and ron didnt brush his teeth. Cos if you are then fuck off. Seeing comments like that just piss me off no fuckin end.
Alpha_rs and Ekesi: I would agree with you on most days but today for the last 10 mins I thought ronnie showed some real will to fight…just look at his burst to the villa corner flag after the macheda goal…he was seriously pumped and wanted to win…definitely in the last 10 mins or so…I haven’t see him show that much fight the entire season…
And another thing – Ronaldo is now top of the goal scoring charts (PL) …this is a season when he’s been ripped to shreds everywhere…if this is what he can do when playing shit, I want him here forever…and I hope he stays…and anyone questioning whether he wanted to win today, needs to go back and watch that second half again…
Ronaldo really took it personally when he made the error.From then on he was great.It worries me that he rarely getslast the first defender nowdays but it will come back.He is human after all.What pleased me more was that he connected with the Old Trafford crowd again.I don’t know if he will stay or go but for today fair play to him.
here here mahesh. I was at the game…..and ron did everything for us after he lost the ball for agbonyourmumsawhore s goal…to get us back in the game.
Hence i get pissed off with crap chat
spot on mate @MAHESH….
yes costas…agree pal
GLORY GLORY MAN UTD. Maaan, you should’ve seen my Grandad’s face who was watching it with me. He’s been a Liverpool fan for 80 years. Come on Utd!!
clj7…..hope you gramps is ok. At 80 taking the macheda goal could have sent him over the proverbial edge..lol
he fuckin….defended…at out goal post…and got us goal kick..there…..anyone remember that…NO…they wont….these cunts only fuckn remember…the one silly error he made…fck off….if you cant appreciate..his attitude …today….he was there to win things for us…atleast today i saw that in his actions….if u still cant get it fckoff..
he refers to ROn
see the look on Ronnies face when he got the equaliser…… shows he still gets pumped up for us ….Good for him
his first goal for us on his debut in fornt of the OT Faithfull….. fucking hell wonder if he will pick my lottery numbers for me this week ???
Fuckin get in!!!! I was at the very top of the North Stand today and throughout the game around OT you could have cut the atmos with a knife. It was so tense and the anxiety transferred on to the players. Every wrong touch was met with a groan and every misplaced pass a “fuckin hell” but when Rons second goal went in the atmosphere just picked up no end and finally when Macheda’s went in the place was rocking. A huge win for United, if we had lost or even drawn the confidence of the lads, fans etc for Tue would be through the floor. I thought with the dippers getting an injury time winner yesterday the signs looked ominous. Could it be really their year? Are United gonna fuck it? Well after today it just shows that the lads can still battle and fight back and still get injury time winners ourselves. I see it as a sign, if we were not gonna win the league this year we wouldn’t have come back today and won!
Fletcher was absolutely immense and Carlos ran himself silly. Wondered why SAF put Nev in the centre against Carew as the big cunt was causing nightmares in the first half but he soon put that right at halftime.
ARE YOU WATCHING MERSEYSIDE!
suhayl
I was at the game today and yes he scored 2 goals (well done).
First of all I’m not a clown and I don’t want Ronnie wanking over macheda. If you’re in to gay porn this isn’t the place. I have an opinion and get used to it you’re on a forum. But I suppose it’s easy to call people names behind a computer screen. Grow up.
Second of all I have my own reasons for disliking Ronnie and yes he scored 2 goals today but he was yet again whining, whinging, moaning at every decision that didn’t go his way.
Third of all some of us actually think playing Manchester United isn’t just about scoring goals. Did you see the look on those players face and the way thet were celebrating that winner? So where was Ronnie? Was he celebrating with the team? Is that important to you? Obvioulsy not. I see it as important to me and the team.
Cheers King Eric.For 93 minutes i won’t envy you for being in there.But for tha MAcheda goal,i envy you a lot.What a moment.I nearly broke my room from my excitement.
I think the crowd was immense too – Ronnie especially really needs OT crowds behind him, and the people in the stands today really pulled him up I think…wish I was there…sigh…
I watched it Live, what a goal
I watched the link above and What a Goal
But now watch it with this commentary Awsome!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWJtRAhuRZk
Well done Kiko
I was absolutely gutted for most of the game. Goes to show you, though. My post-Macheda celebration certainly got reactions from my neighbors. Watching this video makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
Mahesh
You’re right about the burst to the corner flag. That showed some heart. I concede that.
But most of the people around me were shouting at him to get up and fight. That is to put it lightly.
TonyBee
I thnk that has more to do with his arrogance.
@alpha
if u still cant see…the passion he showd to win the game…..ur blind absolutely…..and dont moan over here that he didnt celebrate the winner….as SUHAYL…already mentioned…he doesnt need 2 get on MacHeda s back..so that he has to prove to U..that he cares to win…..and U fckin cant tell by just cringin to that point..and say that…hez a cunt…and if you go to such an extent…thn you must be the laziest cunt….wake up….
Suhayl if reading other peoples comments on a blog annoys you so much then what you doing here?
Ancha
I have an opinion. Deal with it.
i honestly do not rate cristiano’s recent form or attitude…but this is not the time to be harping on about that .
if anything , this game has taught us that he is and always will be a major talent….more importantly – he is a manchester united player! so at least while he is with us we should respect his contribution and not bring him down for his every little error .
sorry cristiano , i shall not speak against you ever again (at least till you’re with us) !
also , kiko macheda – you genius!
also ,
ALEX IS GOD!!!
Anant fair enough.
you can have you opinion alpha….its just the fact that your comment of calling ron a cunt…was low sick and out of order. Here we are celebrating a win and you have to come out with a dipper like comment. A comment ive seen many time over the years on ROM. Comments normally made by dippers or bitters or gooners or plastics.
Im not into gay porn laddy……and i aint aint hiding behind a computer screen. I’ll bloody say it to your face if you want.
Everybody is entitled to there opinion. My opinion today is your opinion stinks.
Yes ronaldos pissed me off too…yes the summer shennanigans have left bitter taste in me too. Yes he does whinge and whine and have hissy fits galore…yes yes yes. I accpet all of that and more. Being a season ticket holder for nearly 25 years…i have to say he does infuriate me at times. But you know what i think…………..if he did all of that and didnt contribute to our team….id fuckin kill him myself. But you what time and time again with the histrionics…he delivers match winning goals and performances.
Yes he aint red nev….or scholsey or giggsy…yes he doesnt celebrate like rio. YEs it would be great if he did….YES it would be great if he went mad at every game. But different strokes for different people. Everybody is different..some are modest..some slefish…some mad..some quiet…some lovee to show it..some dont…so fuckin what.
He scored 2 VITAL VITAL VITAL GALS FOR US TODAY. Isnt that enough for you????? so what he didnt jump on macheda…dus it really matter…dus it really count…yes in an ideal world id love for him too. But i wont call him a cunt for something as trivial as that and lose sleep over it.
What counts is he playes well…he scores….he helps the team…..and correct me if im wrong but he has done that for the past 5 years. And this season without playing well….he’s topping the PL top scoring charts.
Celevrating a goal comes way down the pecking order…give the lad a break..blimey
calm down guys, we’ve just won a fantastic game.. we should be glad that ronaldo scored two goals and the winning goal is the best thus now..
alpha_rs.. ronaldo was at the right midfield and he was so happy.. check out the match gallery..
news flash :
kiko turned down an opportunity to join up with the italy youth team for a spot on the bench….
solskjaer , anyone ?
and what am i doing here????? im hardcore red…….as mad as they come.. Ive been on this blog since day 1 and made many a friend…and respected many an opinion. And laughed off fought off and bashed many a dipper, bitter and goooner…..like i would and have done in real life. Times in 80′s etc im not to proud about…where time was spent at her majesty’s.
Thing is whatever ron is…..he’s our player…he wears our badge…he wears our shirt…and until the day he isnt i’ll support him as he is a vital part of manchester united.
apologies for my comments if u deemed harsh….but admit it …..cunts going over the top a little isnt it….after 2 goals????
And whatever else people insulting our players or swearing at them…even own fans…then sorry that just pisses me off no end…and i couldnt give a crap who it is…i’ll tell em what i think…parents family friends….whoever..you insult man utd….that i take to heart…cos i shoot right from the hip.
AND I AINT GOING NOWHERE….JUST MY OPINION LADDY
thankyou devilinho
Superb goal from the boy great atmosphere the fans were superb, give Ronnie a break he made the differnce with the second that was absolutly vital
bit of sense from the old ROM guys…thanks stephen spot on…rons deserved some rebuke and some crap from the fans….but today isnt the time or place….today he was mint. And he doesnt deserve being called a cunt.
Not seen Denton Davey and Failsworth today….would love to hear their opinions….
Suhayl the point is you are calling me names from behind a computer screen.
Just because I have an opinion. That is stupid.
The rest of your comments I can respect. But time and time again he fails to celebrate with the team and it has been happening for years. And now I couldn’t understand after one of the most tense games at Old Trafford we get the winner and he is nowhere to be seen.
Nobody is questioning his talent. He is an awesome player. Needs to change his attitude though.
Devilinho if that is the case I take it all back.Match gallery?
Thing is there are many players who did nothing in that game but played their hearts out all game. Giggs, Fletcher, Carrick, and Tevez. They never gave up. That is something that needs to be mentioned. Those celebrations at the end. Love it.
suhayl , also Tom F…ROM legend
alpha thats the thing..ron did and was happy…devilinho was right..ok he may not jump to the corner with rest of lads. But he celebrates on his own…or whatever takes his fancy…we cant mind read and know….he may be happy as larry on the inside.
Anyway i respect your opinion lad. Just thought the word cunt you used for ron was a bit too far and uncalled for.
And yes CNUT may have been harsh. But just shows my feeling towards him.
Aye TOM F…doesnt contribute much these days…but yep….him drew vader..stephen…failsworth..DDavey..you anant…our annoying friend peejay lol…..all old ROM stalwarts…
Craig mc…now where did he disappear too
Take a look at Fergies post match interview.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAgrZaRw8Cc&feature=response_watch
And O’Neill looks absolutely pissed!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn4N_XnQ15g&feature=response_watch
O’Neill reckons the winning goal came from a foul on Ashley Young?! Eh?
strong feelings i give you that…cut..give him some slack alpha….lads still our player end of the day…
And i tell you something…….as long he wears our crest..id stop out in the middle of the road to save him…and get killed in the process. Thats how much anyone that wears our badge means to me.
Anyway peace out lad. Glad we got our points clear.
United WE stand
50 50 with evra…nothing doing for me….just a coming together and superior body strength from left back pat. MON bound to feel bitter
I had my uncle shouting “Was that late enough for ya. Have a bit of your own medicine” when Liverpool scored the winner yesterday.
It was a sweet being able to say the same thing to him today.
I felt sick when they scored the winner in stoppage time. I bet they feel even worse right now. And I love it.
That is what football does to you.
We’ll Never Die.
Bitter yes suhayl but the foul was at our side of the pitch,20-30 seconds before the goal.As Scott said,why did they stop going forward?That’s the biggest gift they could have given us since we couldn’t put them on the back foot ourselves.I said it elsewhere.Rooney,Vida,Scholes and Park come back for POrto but Ando and Rio won’t make it.
hehe….honour to be included there suhayl…but credit to all united fans…each one is special !
AYE…..ive just had a bout of sparring with some dipper on one of the other ROM threads.
Flamin dipper…telling us they ve deserved every 8 of those last ditch 90+ min winners this season. Well i gave him a break down of 7 of them…each a last ditch..smash and grab …flukey jammy scabby….daylight deflected v 10 men robbery.
Fuckin dipper.
But yep alpha…football….what does it do to us….seriously mate ive nearly come to killing some dips down the years…and as i said spent time inside…man i hate those scouse cunts…
Now thats where cunt should have been used alpha…ha ha
Costas..im hoping rio does….there is a slight chance…as for ando and rafeal..c’mon lads we want to see you next lge game…and a note to the medical staff…flamin get wesley sorted an all…..we need all our big guns back.
Anant c’mon mate…youve been contributing on ROM for as long as i can remember…..been quite a few years atleast pal
@ alpha_rs

United We Stand
Maybe SAF is bluffing again?He said that he will play Evans and Vidic.Let’s look at it like this.If it’s the groin that’s troubling him,there is a serious threat of reaggravating it.Let’s give him the week and have him ready for Sunderland and the Dragao.We will need him there more.I agree about Wes.I wanted to see Ashley Young try to shake Wes of.
Suhayl I don’t think deserve comes in to it.
Goals win games. Liverpool have scored them. We scored them today.
In the end I wouldn’t care if Liverpool beat us 10-1 that day as long as we win the league. That is the difference. The Scousers celebrate doing the double over us in the League. We celebrate winning the League. That is the difference.
Beating us 4-1 means NOTHING unless they win the League.
Beat Porto, and Villareal/Arsenal, and give me Liverpool anyday.
I want the world to see what we do to them in that final.
It would be my dream to beat the Dippers 5-0 in the final and watch Gary Neville lift the European Cup while Stevie Me is on his knees head in hands crying his eyes out.
Fuckin Get in There!
thanks mate . definitely spent many joyous hours posting here and today has just been added to that list .
wonderful day! fantastic result !
im just hoping we get some of these players off the injury table soon costas mate. If SAf said that then thats that. But before the game….rumours inside the ground were it was a safe decision to not play him as his groin was sore…and he would be ok possibly for tuesday…which means its 50 50….so yep you’re right…sunderland game most likely….hope its not longer than that…we know with rio…these things do drag eg his back.
Right im off to enjoy me pudding and cake…and watch the heroic highlights……man i feel a lot better than i did at this time last night….
football bloody ell
That would be perfect in an ideal world alpha…would be the most amazing feeling ever!!!!!.
However my ticker and nerves wouldnt be able to take it……thats why i want those dippers to suffer…suffer pain on and off the pitch with and to whom ever…and as soon as poss. I couldnt take the nerves come last day of the season…i know the feelings are unrivalled…but id rather duck it and have the title won by 10 points in march. I cant stand their fuckin smug looks and there recent good news and self belief and confidence rushes etc etc etc etc etc etc …
I only like it…as MR T would say…when theyre IN PAIN!!!!!
Anyway off to enjoy my cake and desert and watch chicos and rons goals over and over again..
Take care Anant, Costas, Alpha
UNITED WE LOVE YOU
Take care Suhayl.One love.One United.
aite suhayl . i’d suggest you watch the goals after dessert . would be extremely hard to do both simultaneously
think i can watch that clip over and over again, without getting bored and with a smile on my face. it’s nearly up there w/ the last min agst Bayern, terry’s slip in moscow, o’shea’s last min goal at livershit… macheda you beauty
There is usually one result that defines the season in the run in.
I think that was it.
Alex is God? Well he is. But not for the team selection as of today.
He should have more faith in the youth players. Players with the hunger and the desire. He should use them more and give them the chance.
He brought on Macheda at the right time. But we were all screaming for it. Welbeck came on far too late.
See how both he and Macheda created chances by just moving. Tevez (obviously tired), Giggs (too old, but still a legend), Nani and Ronaldo were not up for it.
Macheda and Welbeck came on with a never say die attitude the other players lacked, except for Fletcher who worked his socks off.
Keep playing the youths. Please. And rest Ronaldo. World class player, but he cant play every single game.
Neville vs. Carew in the air. There would only be one outcome. Why not stick O’Shea in the middle and young Eckersley on the right?
haakon …its easy to say so in hindsight . imagine if he had done what you said and we got thumped 3 or 4 nil ! at this stage of the season do you think we can afford that ?
to trust in youth is one thing , but to be delusional about the ability of untried youth is another . sir alex did the right thing by making kiko and welbeck available to be called upon . he also got the timing of the substitutions spot on!
just think , had welbeck/kiko started upfront alongside tevez , with giggs on the bench , and had a torrid game , who would get the stick ? – yep , sir alex! not the kids , because nobody really expects too much of them .
this was the perfect game to test their strength of character and sir alex did just that .
there arent many managers who would put such faith in youngsters . hell , even the commentators on espn were surprised by the substitution . but , he took a gamble and it paid off . that is what makes him the best manager in the world! FSW couldnt have dreamed of bringing on nemeth for babel/riera at that stage of the game . thats where sir alex scores head and shoulders over everyone else .
Alex is God!
Kiko brilliant today, what a way to announce yourself to the OT faithful! Fletcher excellent, worked his do-dahs off! Had a quick look at the M.E.N. ratings earlier, what a joke. Games are gonna come thick’n'fast now, to get the win today in that manner is surely the perfect launchpad for the run in. Dippers devo’ed!
I just have to vent a big rant of frustration. People here have been calling Tevez great and so too Fletcher?
Wake up guys!
Fletcher got eaten alive by Barry for 70 minutes and Tevez for all his running and tackling did fuck all in terms of attacking play. The fact that Welbeck had a goal scoring opportunity denied and Macheda scored weighs more than all the tackling and courageous stuff he can do.
I’m not dissing the man – his commitment and attitude towards us is admirable but some of you guys have to wake up and smell the coffee.
Actually, I think Tevez looked tired, lost the ball in good positions a few times today. And the fact that he tried to block a clearance with a diving header kinda says it all, the heart was at it, but the body was jus a little short
NicoQB – Did you even watch the game? Fletch was immense today, he covered every blade of grass and broke up play. Barry? YSB!
Well said King Eric… I thought Fletch was immense. Eaten alive by Barry…. that confuses me
alpha, he was clearly at the travel agent booking his flights for madrid
