The United players were a cut above the rest. Young and Rooney provided calm quality to create the openings. Jones recovery tackle in the box was as good as it gets. I can only presume that Wayne wanted to be red carded, as his pointless calf-kick didn’t even appear angry.
Hmm I can’t quite see Rooney deliberately getting himself sent off, why on earth would he? I find it worrying that he hasn’t managed to eradicate his petulance. If your team is losing, some frustration is at least understable, but when you’re winning, stupidity like that just points to immaturity i’m afraid.
He is developing at a good rate is Young. I never rated him before but have really warmed to the lad. 4 goals in 7 games for Ingerlund and three for United already. Top class delivery as well and works his socks off. Well done Ashley lad.
Phil jones was kak at right back should have been subbed but knobhead Capello didn’t pack an extra rb on the bench. Rooney got sent off for a bet
Whiteside – Yeah I know what you mean mate. Totally uncalled for but the lad was getting frustrated with the shite around him. He couldnt even get the ball. Montenegro were playing possession football second half and those two inept cunts in the centre of the park couldnt do fuck all about it. Anyone else see Tiny Tears defensive header second half when the ball was about an inch off the deck? Or in the first half when Young did well down the right near the corner flag, backheeled it to Terry who proceeded to pass it staright to the opposition and get caught out of position. The man is a fucking clown and its hilarious that he will be skipper next summer. This has to the THE worst Ingerlund side I have seen since watching them since about 1979. Its dreadful. The most amusing part is some folk actually travelled over there to watch them. Who in their right fucking mind would pay to watch that shite? I wouldn’t open my curtains to watch them if they were playing in my back garden.
Absolutely, Ash has been fantastic this season, as has Danny Welbs.
Ha ha yes King Eric, it’s depressing for United fans like me who also want England to achieve, this lot can’t pass water half the fucking time.
I know I contradicted myself then by saying I wouldnt watch them, even though I did. I watch them purely for the United lads and the comedy element. Have to say first half Rooney was in a different league. Controlling the game. Had to laugh when the fucking clown Capello brought Fat Frank on to try and control the game a la Scholes. He just isnt up to it. Folk moan about United’s midfield but fuck me compared to the lot that played last night they are a damn site better. Walcott fucking annoys me. He is a little arsenal wimp. Bullied off the ball and has not developed at all in the last 5 years. Yet Wenger gets credit for bringing on these players. Fuck off.
When Rooney arrived at the World Cup in South Africa, he was considered by everyone to be unstoppable. This was mainly based on his incredible qualifying campaign. He was obviously the focus of every potential opposition tactician.
Perhaps Wayne has convolutedly decided that he will perform better at the Euro’s on the back of missed games and less of a key role in the build up. I’m only guessing! A weird infringement to earn the card.
Whiteside – Thing is mate I don’t want England to achieve. Probably the half scottish in me with my old dear being born in Scotland. I just couldn’t stand Terry’s fucking mush being broadcast for years and years and years lifting any major trophy. It would make me sick to my stomach. I actually honestly laughed when the Germans raped us last year. I detest the whole Ingerlund set up.
smartalex – Hello mate. You well?
Sickens me when I hear idiot experts saying crap such as Gerrard or Lampard are the best midfield players of their generation when Scholes does not even get a mention. Good club players they may be but to rate them higher than Scholes is ridiculous and stupid…. England’s golden generation my ass
Rooney’s a plank! But, he’s our plank. If he does this against the dippers, I don’t think people will be so understanding. More childish, than a two footed challenge. I would put this in the same bracket as Becks kickout against Argentina. Well done Young! No word on his injury?
King Eric – Hello buddy! I am well, thanks. How are you doing?
I hope ‘Queen Erica’ is healthy and happily approaching full term!
Are we expecting to welcome a prince, or a princess, to the Realm?
Rooney seemed as thick as two short planks with that tackle. Has he the wood for captaincy?
Does any body know the injury situations Evra,Young,and Fabio went off last night…
Every game Fabio is Injured,this guy is made of the same stuff as Saha,And Hargreaves….
It has been difficult to support the England of Terry, Lampard, Gerrard etc but that’s what they are fast becoming – has beens. The new England look set to have Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Wazza, Cleverley, Young so thats a bit more like it!
CedarsDevil – My good friend! You are off the Angel Dust today? Ha Ha ha ! ! !
England has only produced Fool’s gold. All awe, no ore.
smartalex – Of course we will love and support Rooney, he is after all one of us for now…. But a dumb idiot he is! My late dad always had a famous saying that he used, translating it might lose a bit of its meaning but it goes something like this…
‘God always gives hard walnuts to those without teeth’
Does anybody know the injury situation from last night? Evra,Yound,And Fabio went off..
Fabio is made of the same stuff as Saha,and Hargreaves
Every game he is injured.
Talking of internationals-Ronney was daft what he did,but how poor was C.L.L.(Terry) he is shocking and is slower than Blanc and Donaghy!!!!!
Also if De Gea conceade two poor goals like Hart it would be Fergie Flop in the media…
Beaten at near post and flapped at a cross a couple of yards near him.
Nice to see big Norman on the blog! Still remember his pearler against Everton.
Also, that goalkeeper top Hart was wearing? Who picked that monstrosity?
Don’t know why Rooney bothers playin for Ingurlund.
He is made to be the hero one minute and a disgrace the next.
My own national team are so way down the FIFA rankings that they had to invent a new computer just to to be able to absorb the number!
But before you buggers laugh at me we were ranked 16th in the world not long ago in the basketball world!
Always had a bit of a soft spot for England to be honest but that went away when Robbo retired, he was Mr England just like he was Mr Manchester United…. Both were utterly useless when he did not play… Funny thing is England are still useless !
CedarsDevil – God gives the nuts but he does not crack them (German proverb)
Speaking of proverbs, the Zulu believes that we create our own problems, and should not consider the possibility of bad/evil/danger without also knowing/considering how to overcome it.
“Do not speak of a rhinoceros if there is no tree nearby.”
Yeah cheers Willie Red Nut! That’s the first football moment I can remember!
Hart has made his goalie jersey from his wife’s curtains – if he’s not careful JT will wipe his cock on it!
I don’t blame rooney for losing the plot at that moment, when you play with a team that can’t keep a sack of Shit for more than a minute let alone a football then you’d get frustrated, barry and parker are beyond average and at best championship players, if they can’t pass adequately then that forces rooney deep to get the ball which in turn causes and inevitably into a crazy rash tackle on the position, this england team has so much problems that are swept under the carpet by sacking the manager instead of solving the problem.
I can’t wait for them to appoint the t’riffic tactically inept hawwy redknapp, he apparently will instill passion to play for their country and produce immaculate man managing, but how far can passion get you? you can only run like a headless chicken until you’re found out by better teams, redknapp is a fool that has an opinion on everything, immediately the tevez issue was out he threw in his two pence, forgetting he has a player in modric who wants to leave, yeah the same great man manager redknapp who said his wife was better than bent in an interview (although truthfully, bent is Shit) but still why say that in the public?
They want an english manager but what can they do? all are useless and are bound for failure, will be crucified and end up in lower leagues, MCclaren an example of this, the problem in england is deep rooted but as usual they’ll make rash without though decision, the fans have unrealistic expectation despite not winning a tea cup since 1966 (did the ball cross the line?), the problems will never end.
International football has been shit for years,get all this hype leading into big tournaments which end up as duds.
Call me cynical i think there’s very few players left playing for the love of the country,all about improving status to get bigger contracts,image rights,endorsements etc.
I won’t support the team while JT has anything to do with them,like King Eric the thought of that cunt becoming a English hero makes me throw up.
Rooney will piss the nation off again next week…………..Winner at Anfield!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wayne – Spot on
@ King Eric
“I wouldn’t open my curtains to watch them if they were playing in my back garden”
Baaaahahahahahahahaha
Hilarious mate
Good on ya Ashley, more of the same please.
lol… some witty posts tonight.
Imagine if ingurland bumbled their way into the finals courtesy of a fat frank deflection, a cllc header, a walcott cross… and a gareth barry tap in…
Rooneys sending off was very strange,don’t think it had anything to do with frustration,seemed very calm to me.It was only a half hearted trip nothing with force like he was pissed at anyone.Then after shook the lads hand no arguement with the ref.
That was not Rooney frustrated
The sooner Rooney pisses off from United the better……
Sorry lads but I just cannot bring my self to genuinely like him as good as he is!
He’s a plank! No mystery there…..
Wayne – passion for your country can only get you so far, without ability you ain’t going further, past england player’s supposedly had more passion but what the fuck did they win? they celebrate what a hero gascoine is but all i see is an achoholic who rejected sir alex, he won fuck all and neither did that crisps advertising cunt lineiker, stuart shouts and screams, pumps his fist but he as a manager is tactically useless e.t.c.
wayne is right. Rooney calmly chose a red card, bowed to the crowd, and left.
No anger, frustration, embarrassment or upset. He premeditatedly chose to be sent off.
CedarsDevil
no one’s biting mate, you’re talking out of your ass
Rooney always makes stupid decision at times, his thinking would have been ‘well if i can’t kick a ball due to ice cream van driving circus clown gareth barry and passionate new spurs hero who really belongs in blackpool beach as a donkey can’t pass 5 yards then let me kick a cunt in, early shower and a rest, good timer.
Every ass loves to hear himself bray, and an ass is but an ass, though laden with gold; he still eats thistles.
slim
Seems that way! Well spotted buddy
Ass holes!
England play donkeys and asses. It’s their interpretation of horses for courses.
radio 5 had some cunt who use to work for news of the world on this morning describing how rooney is a disgrace to the country.a fucking news of the world ex journalist.you couldnt make it up!!!
Nice to see Jones and Young get their recognition. More than this it’s another example of SAF’s genius – he didn’t hum and haw over it; not for him the vacillation, or testing the water to see if they made the grade; no, dears, he slapped the money down, lots of money, more money than he’s had to spend for donks.
Genius.
Did the genius get a call? Hey Sir A, should I play Rooney with the shit storm raging over his da? I think not. While Capello is mouthing ‘everything is fine’, SAF was probably wondering if Rooney could handle the Liverpool game.
I’m not defending Roo here. I see him flaws and all and recognize with expert care he can be the prince of his generation. And still have the morals, scruples and serenity of a cornered raccoon. He’s hard-wired to fuck up and the fact that he’s gone from the ignomy of 2010 to his present form is as much down to SAF as anything else.
The reason we all know Roy of the Rovers is because he can’t actually exist, however much we’d love to have him wear our colours. You cut a slice off Roy and he’s the same all the way through. Cut a slice off Rooney and you see a very different person.
Once again England borrows our guys and gives them back broken. No different than Jones carrying his leg in his Nike kit bag, Rooney has come home fucked yet again. Fucked.
last time i supported england was when beckham was captain,im just waiting for rooney to become captain
i dont mind gerrard/lampard but cannot bear the thought of terry with a major trophy in his hand,the last thing he needs is a ego boost
http://www.manutd.com/en/Fanzone/News-And-Blogs/2011/Oct/blog-adam-marshall-discusses-importance-of-versatility-at-united.aspx?pageNo=1
saw this piece on United and thought of MG’s protocol jokes. Looks like massive changes ahead. Always looking forward United. Also Tunni/Dann, lawd have mercy, you’d think these guys were senior players with the way they talked.
P.S i’d make a suggestion to all twitter warrior who follow scott to let him know that while twitter is where a shit ton of people are these days, there’s still people and lots of them who use blogs to have discussions as well. Thing have felt pretty stale around here. No doubt internationals and things but there’s a ton of stuff on our players on loan, reserve, youth team players and so on. Hell there are major talking points on the senior squad.Anyways good to see Fletch back for Scotland, not so good for Fabio. The lad gets injured every time he plays. You wonder if letting go of both JOS or Wes was such a bright idea
It is only in this country where someone’s father is arrested and that is used as a chance to TAUNT the player. No respect for anybody. Just because he is the hate figure does not mean it is right to make up chants and Jokes about his father and family. but oh yeah because it’s rooney, you are free to go ahead. Same thing with the disgusting Adebayor chants by arsenal idiots. I could give a shit what he has done in the past. We live in the present. What he has done in the past is NO pretext for abuses and chants and they call it “banter”.
Imagine this england team;
Hart
Walker Smalling Jones Cole
Cleverley Parker Wilshere
Welbeck/Sturridge Young
———–Rooney—————-
This team would be immense
6 Utd Lads !
But I no longer support England in national tournaments because of the non-sense that comes with it.
They can fuck off, the shambles of 2006 onwards was disgusting, I don’t how people can pay to watch the likes of Terry,Cahil,Upson,Rob Green, Glen Johnson,Barry,Gerrard,Lumpard,Walcott,
Carroll,Defoe.
God bless Hooky street!
The blind man.
Two young nuns have been ordered to paint the room by the Mother Superior
They have been warned not to get even a drop of paint on their habit’s
So they decide to lock the door and paint in the nude
While painting they hear a knock on the door
Who’s there they ask
It’s the blind man
They look at each other,shrug and open the door
The man says nice tit’s now where do you want this blind.
terry winning a trophy as a captain of ingurland ? deary me ,makes me throw up . .yuck . . . if that happened ,imagine the media wank fest !!
Afternoon lads, and ladies,
@ Fletch – I agree with your comment on the other thread that Rooney does appear to be affected by off-field events more than people realise – like when his affair came out and his marriage was in trouble and he played crap and considered leaving United, he also says he hardly leaves his house so he can have privacy as people approach him everywhere if he goes out, he is very close to his dad, how would we feel if our parent was aressted, let alone arrested for betting on something we are involved in.
Yes he is a footballer, but he actually quite young and a human being first and the level of attention and pressure on him is actually insane, we can all envy the money and fame and the fact he gets to play for United, but everything in this world is double edged and you get the flip side of that too – religion, money, relationships can all be for good or bad, cause joy or pain, there is duality in everything, a knife can cut away cancer or kill, it’s the way it is. So just because these guys have fame and money does not detract from the fact they are also people with problems and issues, some that we cannot understand.
That said, what Rooney did was wrong. However, I think there can be some compassion, I note that he rarely behaves like this in United games and that he tends to behave like this when he is frustrated and there are off field issues. I am sure SAF will sort that. Also it is not clear his dad and uncle did anything wrong, maybe they went down to the betting shop as usual, heard rumours laid a bet and now they are caught in this web. It is likely nothing to do with them but you will never hear about it when their names are cleared.
To the business in hand – Rooney, Young, Nani, Valencia showed they are world class players. I don’t really get why Capello played Jones at right back.
Very excited about player Liverpuds, can’t wait, hope our injuries are sorted, my prefered formation:
De Gea
Smalling, Rio, Evans/Vidic, Evra
Nani, Ando/Jones, Cleverly,Young
Welbeck, Rooney
Would really like to see what Jones does as a holding mid in the Carrick role.
a triffic story ,its a true one
,name something else .
one day when Rooney used 2 play for everton .. god appeared and said ,
son,i grant you one wish and that should be related to football ,name it
rooney ,asked that he wanted to play alongside about 7-8 donkeys /twats and still make the team look good,all on his own
god said : son,you are already destined to do that . .you ll one day play for england
eventually he wanted to play for the best club in the world and be the best player in the team . .:D
BLIMMEY ,ITS A TRUE STORY
smartalex – Yes good thanks mate. Ruth is 30 weeks today so not long now. It’s a boy mate.
Some cunt ‘s report in the sun paper today said Parker and Barry are a great pairing! Why do these idiots get paid for talking such drivel? They are fucking awful and offer no creativity whatsoever.
ididnotzeeit – Cheers pal.
playing with average players around you doesn’t entitle you to that. i m just happy he did this for england than for us.
samuel – Some amusing posts from you today and spot on. “ice cream van driving clown”.
Being oh fate with tactics, Rooney’s fromage frais moment was not Chateauneuf du Pape, but rather puscas puscas. Of course, with Wayne, tel aviv!
I hope he can shake off his knock in time for the scum. Of course given the our hard schedule up ahead, it wouldn’t surprise me if Park got the nod on Saturday. Surpisingly enough, he’s never started a game at Anfield.
slim – Spot on about that twatter shite. The blog is where it should be at, not conversing or twattering with cunts like Oliver Holt et al but UNITED fans.
RoM what a Blog!
Like Willie says he is a Plank, but he is our Plank. hehe plank?
Planed??? HHUMMM???? could be.
Yes. Get him in the middle of the park Fergie:
“There’s a natural instinct in him to help out and defend,” said the Reds boss. “Of course, we know all about Antonio’s qualities as an attacker, but he’s also suited to a full-back role.
“He’s incredibly difficult to beat if you’re trying to get around him. We also see him as an option in the centre of midfield. He’s very disciplined and able to carry out any instruction we give him.”
@KE
I believe Fergie realizes the predicament Valencia is in and tries to find ways to fit him in the side. I liked him as a CM against Bolton, so I wouldn’t mind seeing him have another go there. Not so sure about him playing as a right back though. His positioning against Norwich was poor.
I’m sure that last night Scott tweeted or re-tweeted that Suarez had been injured and may be out of the United game. I’ve searched the web and can’t find anything. Does anyone know anything about this?
No Cilla Dodd?
Mark – Hello mate. I hope he does play so our Jones can launch that cunt into row z. Cheating bastard.
My Team for the Pool trip;
De Gea
Smalling Jones Vida Evra
Valencia Ando Giggs Young
Rooney Welbeck
Bench; Lindegaard, Rio, Evans, Fletch, Clevs, Chico, Nani
I really Hope Vida makes the game & Clevs plays a part in tearing apart teletubbie, Gerard & Lucas.
I reckon Danny will rape Carragher, so we need him on. Valencia to track and attack Enrique.
Suarez is the dangerman, so Evra wear a Condom, Kuyt the hat trick scorer has me shivering in my speedos.
I would give a nut to beat those cunts at anfield.
good one wayne, the best part is the press guys and england fans are going to have some hissy fits over the redcard like rooney is the next anti christ
Oh Shit WHAT ABOUT PARK !
@Kings. I have mixed feelings, he’s a good player and could be a threat, but Jones is looking strong in defence. Having said that, if Evra is out, and Vidic isn’t ready to return, we may be quite short at the back and we’ve looked a little shaky there in the last couple of games so he could be a threat.
Plus I have Suarez in my fantasy football team so if he is injured, I’d like to get him out as soon as possible. Alas, I can only field three United players, otherwise I’d have the whole team!
Fletcher was initially ruled out of Saturday’s clash in Vaduz although has overcome tonsillitis
to start tonight’s game.
“This is a massive double-header,” Fletcher said. “A win against Liechtenstein is a must and we will do all we can to keep our hopes alive for Tuesday’s match against Spain. These are two huge games and I was determined to be involved in both of them. I felt a lot better on Thursday and spoke to the manager about joining up. Obviously there is a lot at stake and everyone knows how passionate I am about playing for my country, so it wasn’t a big decision to make once I started to feel better.”
As a couple of the lads have mentioned, it will be freeking terrible if Terry lifts some internationals silverware with a core of United players winning it for them.
Last night Rooney was immense, set up both goals.
1st Roo to Young
2nd Roo to Young (could have shot but played a no seeum pass) score.
Rooney was being butchered all night and was getting frustrated.
Problem is not Rooney, it is cappello. Capello has no understanding of how to move Rooney around so that he gets some joy and has no understanding that he should take Roo out of games at times. Danny should have come on for Rooney at the 60min mark, not fat frank.
People need to start reading the game, not laying the blame.
HATE CAPELLO, Love Rooney. Or shut the f*ck up!
@NBI 16:20 Very much agree with you and thanks for the mention. Just catching up on the other posts. Very important to understand that Rooney has a very very stressful life with loads depending on his every move. Bet that fling last year cost him 60M in lost sponsorships. The fact that he feels he has to cut loose at times is very telling.
I get frustrated like the next guy. But in the end, I support any United player who I think deserves to wear the shirt. There is no one who deserves our support more this year. Call me red blooded fine. Look closer, my bloodtype: certified MU.
Sell Rooney as soon as possible, get in an unknown gem ala Hernandez then move on
Rooney and Capello can both piss off as far as I am concerned……. Mercenaries the lot of them
Welbeck to lead the line for the next ten years, that is what I am talking about…. I know some assume I am joking but in all honesty I am not!
Let me be naive for a split second here and try and get my point across…..
Wayne Rooney is in it for the money, of course he is…dah! Would he give a flying fuck whether or not he played for another team whilst earning the same or even more money? Of course not
Would someone like Welbeck, Cleverley and before them Scholes or Neville give their right arm just to play for the club? Of course they would
Capiche?
Every goal that Welbeck scores I celebrate with all my heart, with every emotion that I can give out….
When Rooney scores I merely clap
crap-el-LOL , the name says it all
@Cedarsdevil
What brought this on? So when Rooney hit that over head kick against City you didn’t jump out of your skin but merely sat and clapped? Hmmm… I doubt it. I’m pretty sure none of the above mentioned would have given their right arm to play for this club. I’m pretty sure a professional can’t make it with one arm and I’m sure they would all rather have their arm.
One mans thought, is another mans purpose.
Gary
The arm mention of course was a metaphor! And of course I jumped out of my skin when he scored that wonder goal against the bitters…. Still want him out and away from our club. This has now become my personal crusade
King Eric,Costas hi lads thinking the same thing the other day,pretty obvious Sir Alex doesn’t like leaving Tony V out of the side,big compliment to him
One mans dolphin, is another mans porpoise.
Hey, if Stuart Downing can get away with only having one foot, I’d surely sacrifice my left arm should say, a certain Agent of Fergie need it for a CLLC beating.
Just saying…
Miserable useless CUNT
Ole > Rooney
Welbeck > Rooney
Hernandez > Rooney
WHY? Attitude, simple really. I hope I will not get close to hating him but I am
Those who seek confrontation, shall find nothing but sorrow.
Yeah ask Hitler
Willie will be changing his user name to Confucius
Those who seek anything are just dumb fucks…. If you know stuff why on earth seek? Stupid idiots!
For the good of our football club we should sell Wayne Rooney, or just dish him out on loan
cedars
give it up fella, you’re starting to sound like a broken record, i take you seriously less and less with your train of thoughts. Mercenary. lol.
He gone boy!
slim
Give what up ? Brings you on here does it not….? Being controversial brings in audiences and on boring weeks with out club football we all, well I just go mad!
@wayne
It really is. Valencia’s work rate is top class and I can see why Fergie would want to make room for him. Like Park, I have a feeling that Valencia is better suited playing in a 3 man midfield. So, it will be interesting to see how Fergie plans on using him.
He ain’t no machine Cedars!
Of course I love Rooney you fools and anyone who believed me needs medication…….
If only Maradona had given his left arm to play for his country. Maybe professionals can’t make it handicaped but nothing stopping managers ala Avram Grant who a lot of people don’t know has a wooden leg.
Comentator: Hello, good afternoon and welcome to the second leg of the Olympic final of the men’s Hide-and-Seek here in the heart of Britain’s London. We’ll be surfing in just a couple of moments from now, and there you can see the two competitors Francisco Huron the Paraguayan, who in this leg is the seeker (we see Francisco Huron darting about, looking behind things) and there’s the man he’ll be looking for … (we see Don Roberts practising hiding) our own Don Roberts from Hinckley in Leicestershire who, his trainer tells me, is at the height of his self-secreting form. And now in the first leg, which ended on Wednesday, Don succeeded in finding the Paraguayan in the new world record time of 11 years, 2 months, 26 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes, 27.4 seconds, in a sweetshop in Kilmarnock. And now they’re under starter’s orders.
CedarsDevil
oh my friend you are grossly mistaken, “it” doesn’t bring me here. Been on here before your coming out the closet thing with Rooney. Good luck with the controversy agenda. ah well i find it amusing.
Where the hell is Goat? nursing his massive hangover i reckon
Gary
Sorry slim
I stand corrected I suppose
If I wasn’t here, I’d be somewhere else.
I promise to be very serious again from now on…. Losing closets to come out from
Hows Scotland faring?
Liechtenstein 0:0 Scotland
28 minutes
My two best mates are called William and Hill. What the odds of that?
Willie gone red, Cedars gone nuts!
What exactly is a flying fuck? I mean can it fly?
Love life people
Are they Hill Billies?
Willie
That seems full of it!
scotland leads 1-0
Liechtenstein 0:1 Scotland
31 minutes
read this on twitter….
Manchester United legend Gordon McQueen is to be treated for cancer of the larynx
I walked out of my closet today… First think I thought was ‘What the fuck was I doing there in the first place!’
@ Cerdars
I hear what you say re not feeling the full love re Rooney, and I there are clearly players such as Troll and Hargreaves that deserve not to be applauded for the contribution they made to the Club’s success due to their post United behaviour.
However, in Rooney’s case, I am not sure it is the case that he wanted to trash talk United or does not love the Club abd respect the manager, I think he was all over the place mentally and had his agent in his ear as SAF said. If SAF thought he was trouble and not worth it, or keen to go like Ronaldo, regardless of how good he is I think we would have cashed in on him and bought another world class player.
I think Rooney is a troubled lad, but he is also an amazing player who has contributed to our success, works tirelessly for the Club and apart from that blip at a troubled time has never said anything negative about United, in fact he is a keen student of United history and has a close relationship with Sir Bobby. He understands what the Club is about.
So for Rooney, I would give him the benefit of a doubt, it is not all about money for him, he can get paid more elsewhere. He is at United because he wants to be here. And you can see how pleased he is when one of his team mates scores, he is not a selfish player, and he has said he would love to be United Captain and on twitter he wrote “Everton till I die, United till I die” – reflecting his affection for both his boyhood club in his home town and the Club he has pledged his career to and where he does want to be a legend. Let’s give him some slack, at least give him the benefit of a doubt, the guy gets ridiculed, criticised, abused for his looks in papers, called ugly, spoilt etc all the time in his face, I think we need to back him whole heartedly right now and understand not all players are as straightforward as Scholes or Giggs.
Ofcourse, I refer here to Mr Giggs on-field behaviour.
Cerdars
Who on earth is he/she?
Go on bonnie Scotland! Ya may take out wifes….but you’ll never take our freedom!
This blog has become a joke, Scott is also a joke….. Had one of the best United sites our there and now its a comedy club
Scotland are playing well, and are totally dominant. I hope they will score early in the 2nd half, and then score a couple more. They are creating all the chances.
Liechtenstein 0:1 Scotland – Half time.
That Bannan is one handy player a proper midfield general never stops moving,quality.
Hi Scott
Take your blog and shove it where the sun does not shine buddy…….. Why the fuck have you been so fucking nasty to us? Ungrateful git
Liechtenstein 0:1 Scotland
46 minutes
Fletcher still looking strong.
Last post here…..
No one will give a fuck but Scott is a dick
Evening all, here’s the latest episode of Agent of Fergie:
http://agentoffergie.blogspot.com/2011/10/im-listening.html
Clumsy Rooney.. his technique that let him down and then he got frustrated.
King Eric called it like it is and I am all with him….. The guy who runs this blog no longer gives a fuck and for me personally neither will I
@ Cedars – I refer here ofcourse to Cerdars – your in-closet name that can now be publically disclosed for general consumption.
He’s gone native!
@ Cedars – maybe you should send Scott your views on “Contact”. This blog gets advertising revenue due to its readership numbers so you can make your point that you think he needs to pay more attention to avoid the quality dropping.
King Eric @ 16:50: ““There’s a natural instinct in him to help out and defend,” said the Reds boss. “Of course, we know all about Antonio’s qualities as an attacker, but he’s also suited to a full-back role.”
I might be in the minority – no surprise, eh ? – but I also like Antonio Valencia in the full-back role. Sure, he needs to learn a bit more about “positioning” – just as long as he doesn’t take lessons from Patrice Evra – but the up-side is what he brings to the game: strength, speed, determination, aggression, and huge reserves of energy.
In addition, pairing him with Nani – who can use him to find space in the inside-right channel – could be massively dangerous. UTD traditionally get their creativity from the wide men and, to my way of thinking, Valencia is more of a straight-ahead charger. Nani and Ashley Young and, probably, Ravel Morrison have those “creative” juices.
@ Cedars – alternately – maybe go back in the closet, you seemed happier then. Also Japanese love love dolls on sale. Breathe, breathe…
@ dentondavey
I have to say I disagree – I think Valencia’s greatest asset is his ability to get a consistent level of good crosses into the box. Playing at right back that is wasted. And if he interchanges with Nani there is a risk the RB position is exposed.
I would be interested in seeing Valencia / Nani play as attacking CM’s in the Cleverly / Ando role – Valencia has played CM for his country and an interchanging forward mid line with Valencia, Young and Nani all swapping positions would be lethal in my view.
Sorry if im being a bit of a thickie but what has Scott said to Cedars to get his back up??
Those of you who criticise STR for going on twitter – how would you know he’s tweeting, unless you’re tweeting too!! He is allowed a life other than this blog
Hey Reds!
Not sure if it was posted before, but here is Nani’s 2 goals on Iceland
http://football-talk.co.uk/42727/video-man-utd-winger-nani-bags-brace-in-portugal-rout/?
Valencia also assisted a goal with a pin pointed cross in Ecuador win over Venezuela. Tony was MoM.
Hey up Cedars…… whats up fella….take a calm down pill and slowly tell your buddy BigTee all about it….
Where do you keep the nuclear wessels?
I’ve got some nuclear weasles if you’re interested
No, must be wessels. They are stoatally different.
Cyril…… think the Doc is needed…..
Cedars. Hello mate. Gonna have to respectfully disagree on Rooney. Yes he fucked up but is our talisman. I know no player is bigger than the club but we don’t want to sell our best players. Rooney has been top drawer all season and is playing with a smile on his face and enjoying playing with the kids. If like you say its all about the money then why didn’t he go to the bitters? Lest we forget keano held out for more money and even our hero Robbo back in the day had meetings with the juve director with a view to moving but got Martin Edwards to give him a bumper seven year deal.
I think you mink weasles
Sounds like you’re well up ferret Cyril.
What vole did you have in mind for the vessels
stop rabbiting on about vermin…… for fox sake….. leveret go…..
I think Rooney was clinically depressed and mixed up when he talked with such disrespect about his team mates and club. He didn’t look like he was enjoying his game. bet Colleen was wrapped up in the sprog and life became a bit stale. He’s a new man this season
I think he’s looking for someone to be a beaver in the midfield.
Rats to you
rats….huh ….I aint that Gerbil-able….
Ha ha, don’t ermine me…
Did you know stoats and ferrets are genetically related to Wolverines? They are all Mustelidae.
Also, the latin name for Wolverine is Gulo Gulo…

Just stop badgering us about this

yeah the bookies were hedge-hogging their bets…..linked to posts together….
I went Native in the fall of 88, friends caught up with me in the Mayan Pyramids in the spring of 91. I had 3 women I traded for on the Belize border.

Oh hey, we’re putting in a £20million bid for Claudio Marchisio from Juventus. This is in addition to a £20million bid for Marek Hamsik and another £20million on someone called Nicolas Gaitan…
Obviously the main target is still Wesley Sneijder. I reckon about £20million should do it.
Great news huh?
When you take powerful Hallucinigenetics every other day for 2+ years, it does something to a guy. Something to a guy.
i thought wes was playing with the reserves
20 million here, 20 million there. Pretty soon your talking real money.
Time to smoke and swim, It is like 80 here today, close to record highs, oh record highs are behind me now. High will do.
Cedars. Oh sorry pal. Didn’t know you were joking!
Warwick. I never go on twatter but its common knowledge scott is on there a lot conversing with shithouse cunts like oliver holt. Seeing as though it was thirty years this week we signed Robbo I would have thought a piece on him would have been done.
Parry. Bannan is a top little player. I saw him for villa reserves about 18 months ago and he ripped us apart and scored a hat trick.
Warwick
He’s allowed the world, he can do whatever he wants, i brought this up so i only think it right i address it. It wasn’t a slight on him he’s on twitter. He is however responsible for this blog, there’s people all around you know, in the “world” . Different crowd, different content. No twitter hating here. You might see a few hating comments here and there but no one cares really. It is after all on big party
Doctor Barry Bannan is a dangerous man. Do not make him angry….you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry!
Baron Darron Bent Bannana is a yellow bellied buffoon.
willierednut – why what happens if you make him angry does he sign for porto
*one* big party – fucking keyboard, feel like lego pieces
king Eric.
Saw the same game and as I remember it there were two villa players tore us up for arsepaper.Thought Bannan was tiny and would get left behind,but he has made their first team and grown a bit may even get slightly bigger yet but nontheless he is a dynamo.
CedarsDevil says:
Every goal that Welbeck scores I celebrate with all my heart, with every emotion that I can give out….
When Rooney scores I merely clap
And we’re all going to lose plenty of sleep tonight knowing that mate…………Fuck off
I was literally throwing stuff at my tv watching SKY coverage of the postmatch. Only Joe Hart stood up to the idiot reporter who was questioning whether Rooney could ever be trusted in an England shirt.
Now rob draper has put it in press.

Hay Willie, yea mad fucker.Glad to see yer still alive and kicking m8.I can take the crap over the doctor Banning fingie, the incredible bulk.I am so chuffed the team are doing so brilliant up to the last few games, a bit stuttering and back 4 disjointed, no cohesion of movement and confidence and dare i say it the final defence!. Get over yourself un United supporters he is a youngster( you are questioning, as is yer want, the coaching staff, Eric Steele, the manager, the Glazers!.
I am just back from a working vacation,I was told ( with my mug shots) I would be a male model on a location—- plage( beach)…….. it was gay!…… enjoyed every minute of it the whole 5 months, pmsl.

Blanc on Evra:
While manager Blanc jumped to the defense of Cabaye over the injury he sustained at the hands of Albania, the 45-year-old appears to be running out of patience with Manchester United full back Patrice Evra, who also picked up a knock in Friday’s clash.
“He [Cabaye] took a heavy blow on his ankle. Our Albanian friends shook us up well,” Blanc said.
“Every time he [Evra] has come to see me, it has been to tell me about another withdrawal. And if he gets injured after five minutes, what do you do?” he continued. “That would put the team at risk, and I hate that.”
A few weeks before the Ashley Young Deal was confirmed, I was singing the praises of Barry Bannan and said he is up there with the likes of Wilshere, Cleverley and Cough Cough McEachren + Henderson. He reminded me of a Young Scholes/Iniesta in one his cup games. He is tremendous talent and I’m Glad he is being recognised on RoM AFTER My comments about him was ignored / dismissed 4/5 months back.
RedScot – Hello mate! Long time no hear fuck sake!
Please say Evra has been dropped for France !
It would do wonders for United !
He would have less fatigue, summers rest and ignore the snail sniffers that criticised him for the strike against Domenech.
Hope he gets dropped for france, maybe it would mean he will become a better player for Utd to break back into the Escargot swallowing team.
Yo Bron, In Niron, seriously, I got a bit bored on here, not with the front line comments by Scot the Red, not that , that means piss all, i just got bored and made the choice to learn more, still read the main blog.I aint pissing around about the 5 months in france, and northern Spain, it was a blast. lol
Pist 18/24
Hay Willie yo should have made yer way to Lisboa, for the Benfica game, it was a braw night, sick result, poor performance by the team.Me personally I would watch these at Old Trafford, they are no mugs that will counter attack, I promise you
Clint- you want players to be happy and playing well maybe this france thing is affecting his united form. saying that he’s a different player when Vidic plays he covers more when Evra bombs forward and Ferdinand covers the center, can’t beleive some of the posts about ferdinand the last few days ,our most expericenced player
WT?! another United great with throat cancer.
David Sadler 1963-73 European Cup winner, League winner. Best mates with Charlton.
Best of luck to David and his family!
RedScot – They were decent in Benfica mate. A slick passing team. The wee Argy on the wing is one to watch. The way things are looking atm, we may need to beat them at OT. Shouldn’t be in this position. The Basel game was an eye opener for everyone. Still think we’ll top the group.
Mark –
Agree with you, Rio is instrumental to our defence, off the pitch he is a teacher no doubt about it., In my opinion he is more important than Vida but that was based on the past. Rio has years ahead of him, he is only being tipped to leave because of the success stories of Jones & Smalling,Evans. You have to remember they are 19 & 21 & 23. Rio & Vida are needed until those lads can get at least 4 years of experience into them.
About Evra, he compliments our attack and he is vital to our attack. His defensive work is better this year than last so I am happy with his improved contributions. Paddy being dropped by France will only motivate him to improve,knuckle down and impress for United just impress Blanc. Hope it happens, I doubt it will knock his huge confident head
Hay U cunt fae Niron, I dinnae know any cunt with a web site( is that no what red block capitals mean) yer a toff!….not in ma league, I am a scrounger, bottom feeder, aka! lmao

Hopefully we’ve got all our serious injuries out of the way early,top of the table and still not a full panel to choose from.Clint you’re right two youngsters playing there at the minute and thats not counting Evans, Cleverley coming back Vidic too things are looking good.
RedScot – Hell no! I ain’t got no website. It’s a youtube clip of looney Rooney! It’s all good in the Red hood…. Don’t leave it too long to come back and visit us at the RoM!
Bannan is primarily a central midfielder but also can play as a winger. He is particularly useful with his left foot.
Bannan has skill, vision and good passing ability. It is these attributes that led to Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier likening him to Barcelona midfielders Xavi Hernandez and Andrés Iniesta. Houllier had only been in charge of Villa for a few weeks before saying “He is an intelligent player, he can read the game well and adapt well. I don’t think Xavi and Iniesta, who are outstanding players, are of huge size. They are intelligent, they have the skill, they have the desire – young Barry has all of that.”
Ian Holloway, who Bannan played under during his time at Blackpool, described him as “a beautiful footballer, absolutely lovely to watch”.
Bannan’s height and playing style have also led to Scotland team-mate Darren Fletcher comparing him to the likes of Xavi, Iniesta and Paul Scholes. The Manchester United midfielder stated that Bannan “is in the mould of the best midfielders in the world”, and said “I’m talking about Xavi, Iniesta and Paul Scholes”.
John Mullen, a football coach that taught Bannan as a youngster at St. Margaret’s High School, said in 2010 that he was unsurprised at the success of the midfielder. He claimed that Bannan “had all the attributes you could ask for in a player”, was “always motivated” and “gave a lot to the team”.
In December 2010, Houllier was again full of praise for him. He said “Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Pedro. You can watch and wonder if they are playing in the youth team sometimes. They have fast technique and young Barry has all of that.” Houllier then defended Bannan’s size, and insisted it wont hold him back. Houllier said “The Premier League has got more physical but it is not about a matter of size. Obviously you need size in some positions but it’s also a matter of commitment and physical commitment. Barry is competitive.”
Bannan, however, claimed that former Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill had doubts over his ability due to his size.

“I don’t think I could have a higher opinion of any footballer than I already had of the Irishman, but he rose even further in my estimation at the Stadio Delle Alpi. The minute he was booked and out of the final he seemed to redouble his efforts to get the team there. It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose he inspired all around him. I felt it was an honour to be associated with such a player. (Alex Ferguson on Roy Keane after the European Cup semi-final in the 1999.)

The grandmothers, a vital influence over the village community, have gathered to give a speech thanking David Gill and United for supporting the work of Unicef in the area. After a discussion about how the village can combat malaria, the grandmothers then break into an impromptu African dance and invite Gill to get involved, which he reluctantly does.
“You have done something my wife can never do and got me on the dance floor without alcohol by 3pm,” he tells them. The reception provided for Gill in Ngarigne Bambara, a village south of Dakar in Senegal, has been replicated across the African country during a two-day visit.

Neville has never hidden his feelings for United’s rivals and did not shy away when asked whether it was true he hated Liverpool. “When I was younger there was no doubt about it,” he said. “I was a United fan, they [Liverpool] were winning everything and it was a horrible time for my club, to be honest, through the 70s and 80s.
“I suppose it came from jealousy through my childhood – jealousy, hatred, passion for your own club. You don’t want them [Liverpool] to win anything, and you don’t like the people who are winning, just like I’ve seen in the last 15 or 16 years, from a good side, everybody is now ‘we all hate Man United’ – and they hate Man United because we are winning.”
Its funny, opinions that try to shoe horn Jones. Telegraph article just smacks of an envious group who for their next John Terry. United have pedigree in nurturing young talent and journo are saying “it time for him to focus” Fucking bollox, SAF is more than well equipped to get the player realise his potential, even if it ultimately is Centre half. In no time looking for another player to lift to the high heavens and smash him over the head back to Earth,
It’ll be interesting to see what he’s like over the season, at least the telegraph got that bit right- sort of
Fuck me Journos have the easiest job ever,I swear they do this as a second or even third job
Go home
Knock a few back
Gob shit about player/club/manager
this economic downturn is made even all the more painful with this printed garbage
United have scored 24 goals in their seven league games so far. But Fergie is more concerned about the seven league goals conceded. He said:
“Let me tell you, I’d be quite happy winning every game 1-0. We’re playing a wee bit open, that’s for sure, both in the league and in European games. We are very attack minded at the moment, but we have to be tight at the back. The defenders we have been using this season are young, remember, so they are going to get better as the campaign goes on.”
“It took a lot of persuading for the first-team management to take more of a look at him. They wanted old players with experience and they didn’t fancy him against the old-time, gnarled centre-forwards. The Ryman League is a very, very physical league and Chris was always six foot-plus but very, very wiry and had no real muscle on him,” Nott said. “And as a centre-half you are up against some big burly players, there were some concerns if he could handle it physically.”
Nott, who had tracked Smalling from the age of 10 or 11, had no doubts about his quality. He was responsible for bringing him to Maidstone after he left Millwall. “Chris came to us as a 16-year-old. We had a trial match and within five minutes I was walking around the pitch to get him to sign forms. Chris has worked exceptionally hard but he was a talent, he had speed and awareness.”
Once Nott’s advice was heeded and Smalling was selected, he did not look back. Not that a place in Maidstone’s first team was particularly lucrative. Now he is on £50,000 a week. Then he earned £30 a week expenses – or, more often than not nothing, if he didn’t play.

personal problems and a shit work environment brings bad things to all humans. Rooney is a human too.
Sorry England fans here but as long as he (Rooney) didn’t do it when playing for United, I couldn’t care less. Man United > England…period. With all the old twat and scum playing in England shirt, I didn’t feel like supporting England anymore.

NBI @ 20:06: “I think Valencia’s greatest asset is his ability to get a consistent level of good crosses into the box. Playing at right back that is wasted. And if he interchanges with Nani there is a risk the RB position is exposed.”
Perhaps – but if the CBs and the other fullback )or one of the central midfielders) play “disciplined positionally” I don’t see why that should be so. RedNev was frequently up the field, linking with SirDavey, and Patrice Evra always seems to be up-field in the attacking zone. Indeed, to get the best out of the nominal wide-men (say, Ashley Young and Nani) there has to be flank support so that they have the option of running into the inside channel while the flank support keeps defenders from sagging inwards. For SAF, width = creativity, and Valencia’s ability to fire low, hard crosses would certainly be valuable in the fullback role.
But whether you or I are “correct” in our assessments is really beside-the-point since SAF is the man-with-a-plan. What I like about his plan is that he floods the pitch with guys who are footballers, first, and position-players secondarily. So, if he plays Valencia/Nani in midfield then he’s essentially robbing-Peter-to-pay-Paul since it means that Cleverley/Anderson/Giggs are taken out of the match. In almost all matches, UTD have so much of the ball that the quick strike-force seems to me to be the way to go. Some matches – of course – call for a somewhat more cautious plan but just look at what TheLads did last year against TheArse when TheOldFootieKnight surprised everyone and played a combination of seven defenders – including Gibson, O’Shea, and the Da Silva twins. All those guys – even Gibson and O’Shea – did well because they are all footballers first and foremost.
@Cedars no worries mate. Demons follow everyone. I have mentioned before they love big brain people.
I have grown to like, respect and love you in a non-cock sucking way.
Nice that you have written STR.
The tribal hate in the UK, is something I can only ques at. A Liverpudlian as Man Utd lead man, must suck for the Manchester people who lived through the 70′s and 80′s.
What ever these “problems” are we here on RoM wish you the best and you will beat back the demons as you have always done. Blessings mate. Many Blessings.
The way English players are treated in the UK, why on earth play for the fucking team. Wow fucking filet the fucking lads.
Hey Zibbie,
how are u mate?
can u brief me on what happened that has done our Cedars pain and hurt?
and yeah, bloody fucking media, its time they treated Rooney fairly well, it happens in the heat of the moment and they fucking link it with his off field, cunts.
come saturday, rooney will answer on the field.,.

@Willie all that Vodka talk got me to put the Grey Goose in the freezer with martini glasses. Ice cold vodka in a frozen glass that had vermouth rinse and large Spanish olives. By the light of the fire my lady was so beautiful, her eyes danced with the flicks of the flames. Her red hair glistened and shimmered as it cascaded over her shoulder. She laughed with our friends as she felt my gaze and slowly turned made eye contact. A knowing look of happy to be loved. It was a good night.
One of the lamest red card being dished out I’ve ever seen. If that’s a red card, while Carragher’s knee-high tackle on Nani isn’t, something is seriously wrong with the referee community.
Sandeep1878 – to be fair to the ABU media to put things into perspective, when they go bonkers with rooney sent off it is pethetic how they react, but if rooney got sent off for united I wonder how many united fans mostly the trolls would call rooney this or that. So to be fair the ABU, they are reacting how some quarters of united fans would react esp if it costs united 3 pts
1878, no I can not. I know this much. The trolls were getting to him a few days ago. I think as he said it is of a personal nature.
RoM have a great day, I’m off on a ride. Got my drop top and my women some bud and were out of here. Making new memories as old ones fade.
Hey Zibbie,
thanks,
hope our Cedars will be back soon, come on pal, its all part and parcel, ignore the troll cunts.
Hello FITB, how you mate,
good point u make on some UTD fans reactions to Rooney sent off…
FITB
true United fans would react but if England lost the game, it wouldn’t have been Rooney fault, they looked woeful all the way down. The first was scored with on the pitch no ? and the equalize made a mockery of the British bulldog Mr Cunterrry. The red card meant fuck all in my view. The minute Montenegro got the first goal the team as a unit crumbled. I think United fans would be able to tell the difference
slim – some united fans would blame rooney for the loss. I have seen it before on forums it is how fans work, especially with the rooney gate some would hold that against rooney
Leave Cunterry out of this !
Cunterry has backed our Roo through some hard times recently.
Cunterry has been influential in the development of Phil “Beast” Jones.
Cunterry won us the CL in 2008.
His best Pal Lumpard has claimed Dwayne Ronnie is the best player in the world.
So I am Hurt many here can insult Captain Lady Legend Cunterry.
“Leave her alone”
LMFAO papi!!
