Nemanja Vidic insists that even when not playing he feels the pain of defeat because he is proud of his club.
“I can’t stand to lose because it is not good for our title challenge and because I don’t like to lose any game,” said Vidic. “Losing feels the same as being punched on the face. I am not good to be around. I might not have been playing at Fulham 3-0 just before Christmas but losing still hurt because I am a Manchester United player and I am proud of my club.”

Man Utd News 24/7
i read this in the sunday papers and it was relieving to read, cmon vida!
You better not pull a Ronnie Vidic!
Dead man walking.
Fuck off Vidic, you lying twat. Better run along now, I think I hear your wife calling you…
frankly, dunno wat to make of this vidic situation. seen too much of smoke screen over é years. juz keep watching. wat meant to happen will happen. no point worrying. only those who wants to stay should be kept & fit to put on é red devil jersey.
oh please, i read this before the game on sunday.
Vidas gonna pull a ronaldo on us, if we do sell him i hope we get to use the money this time around
Yawn!!!
Same old story.player is repeatedly linked to another club and keeps on denying it.then a mysterious incident happens that casts further shadow on his future.
Vidic wants out – it is so plain that even a blind man could see it! Tevez was saying all the same bullshit things, and behind the scenes doing his GIVE ME the big money act to whore himself over to Man Shitty!
Fred
I got a cool idea
why dont you fuck off and come back if Vidic leaves and say I told you so but most importantly you have to fuck off first
We probably do need our kids to step up to the first team if we can’t buy. Hopefully Evans can resolve his injury issues and more players step up. As it is we cannot hope that all the players want to be with us.
Then again, as Scott put it, it could be worse.
for fuck sake what happened to not believing everything you read in the paper. This story bout vidic leaving has been knocking about for ages, and has been fuelled before by his agent. But vidic himself has said he’s happy here, fergie ain’t gonna let anyone go at the minute, especially a defender with the problems at the min. Doesn’t take long for some ppl to get on a players back does it. Some real loyal supporters on here
Got a better idea, Tiny Tears. Why don’t you go and snuggle under your official Nemanja Vidic duvet cover and keep telling yourself Vida and his wife love it here in Manchester. Maybe even dust off your Cristiano Ronaldo action figure for old times’ sake while you’re at it.
And when Vidic is sold, I expect a full and frank apology from you.
Everyone turning on each other here. Seriously Fred fuck off, its bad enough ABU’s do it don’t need you to be another wind up. Tabloids always pick on one of our best players and link him to another club its been going on for years. To question him being a hard man because he missed a game is just plain stupid.
@sppibsihmkcrkg, you’re probably right. Ferguson wouldn’t sell Madrid a virus, let alone one of our best players! See? Nothing to worry about!
i heard were utd have offered a new contract of over 100k a week but he hasn’t signed it.anybody know if thats true.this thing isn’t going away i think he’s outta here
Where there’s smoke there’s usually a departing player.
Fred Mate Fuck off no one is liking your tone.
Prove it then vida, extend your contract.
Chill out fred.
Fred
who are you to ever expect a full and frank apology from me
who do you think you are
14 months ago I made a decision that I was done with trusting tevez but I never came out with a comment on a United player like
Fuck off Tevez, you lying twat
for anyone to ever say that about a player is a disgrace.
If Vidic comes out and says he’s moving to Barca because he wants to
along the lines of ronaldos real is my dream thing
I have to say thank you Vidic for what you’ve done at United
“Fuck off Vidic, you lying twat” to a manchester united player whos telling you he’s proud to be a united player and you tell him to fuck off because the papers tell you something they said a year ago
so I dont care you the fuck you think you are but if you think I’ll ever look at you as someone whos opinion I respect enough to ever say sorry to then your up your own hole son
Guys i’m confident that vida is commited to the cause at united. although in saying this i pretty much don’t like this influence of the WAG’s on football players and the decisions they make never have liked it. a prime example is Victoria Beckham! i mean look at what happened to becks! these WAG’s are a bunch of selfish self centred women who should have no say in the decision making of their partners in terms of their football lifestyle!
if vida leaves which i very much doubt i’d like to see Simon Kjaer come in. Yoann Gourcuff would be a welcome addition to replace gibson as he is not showing any signs of improvement in other aspects of his game apart from his shooting. in Gourcuff we’ll have a Fabregas type of midfielder. i think gibson is championship material.
Fred, come on, true or not time will tell. but at this very minute, he’s still a Man Utd player, full stop. dont start fucking over one of our very own now.
“Prove it then vida, extend your contract.”
what is going on here ? people judge players and their atitude on the shit they read in papers. what the fuck has happened to this world ? what must he prove ? cmon. leave the guy alone.
If he leaves, he leaves. Until then he is a United player and I will support him and love to read comments like his. C’mon!
If he’s commited to united then sign a contract extention, wat’s wrong wiv that.
fred-fergie knew that ronaldo wanted to join madrid from being a kid, so he made the comment but knew if push came to shove he’d sell him to them. He always did right by ronaldo, like he does wi majority of players. Whats being reported at the minute is gossip and speculation, so don’t think it’s right to tell one of our best players to fuck off is all. He’s had injury and it’s easy to pick up another niggle after recovery. Does vidic strike u as sort of person who would be sneaky and underhand? If he wanted to leave sure he’d say so but right now he hasn’t so he’s a united player and as such should get the fans support
this is pretty well indentical to the ronaldo move rumors all summer he came back and said he was commited and didn’t want to leave then did.this thing is exactly the same.vidic is and has been a great player for us but if its true he won’t sign a new contract we should take the 30 mill for him.this year his form has dropped and had alot of injuries it could all be tied in to the fact he’s knows this is his last season with us
so saying he loves united is opposite to you?
thats funny
Why oh why did we let Pique go. . .
the title would have cleared up a bit if it was called
Vidic:When we lose I feel bad
Lads vidic is clearly on his way out, theres no smoke without fire
i hope me and fred are wrong but its looking highly likely that he is hitting the road for pastures new.
if utd offered him a new contract and he won’t sign it,whatever he says to the press doesn’t matter, until he signs i think he’s leaving
Well said GHTT. I just don’t believe in crude abusive language at United players at any time, even when they disappoint, such as leaving the club. Some of my all-time favourite players have moved on to rivals – Law to City, Hughes eventually to City, Beckham to Real, Ronaldo ditto- but whatever happens in their later careers I’ll always just thank them for what they did for United. If Vidic does leave it’ll be the same, ‘Thanks for all the silverware Nemanja!’. The one who arouses slightly different feelings is Tevez. Funnily enough it’s not so much for his duplicitous ways (bad enough) and his use of Argentine papers to mount a campaign against Fergie (worse) , nor just the fact he’s gone to City when they might be on the verge of overtaking United. No what really galls me about him was the way he played to the galleries at Old Trafford, divisively milking all those stupid chants of, ‘Fergie , Fergie, Sign him up!’ It was shameful when United fans did that over the top of Fergie’s end-of-season speech to the crowd last May. One of the worst moments I can recall. I still wouldn’t tell Tevez to fuck off, however, I’d just quietly tell him , ‘Carlos, you may have scored a few vital goals at United, but we don’t miss you as a man, any more than we miss Heinze. You’ll never be remembered with affection or respect as a United player like, say, John O’Shea , only as a two-faced money-grubbing mercenary.’ Then I might softly add, ‘And I’m glad you fucked off…’
Maybe my initial comments were out of line but as for this “how dare you talk that way about a United player” bollocks, you can save it.
Manchester United is our club. Yours and mine, it belongs to us. No player is bigger than that. I was supporting United before Vidic had even heard of the club, so don’t tell me I don’t have a right to criticise him or any other player.
110 per cent in agreement with Fred.
It’s about time these players fucked up and proved to us what this great club means to them by producing the goods on the pitch.
Granted Vidic was injured, and it’s not a personal attack on him – it’s an attack on the players brought in and who couldn’t give a flying fuck about United.
20legend99 – We couldn’t keep Evans and Pique waiting around when they were being offered first team football in the Premiership and La Liga. We made the right choice in keeping Evans, because no matter how great Pique got, he would always want to find the opportunity to leave to return for Barcelona. In contrast, you can imagine Evans seeing out his career here and even captaining the club.
Fred – I fail to see how Vidic is a lying twat, tbh. Which part was a lie? That he doesn’t like losing? That he’s a United player? That he’s proud to play for United? Whether he goes in the summer or not, I don’t see where the lie is. Point it out for me.
@Scott – Yeah, I remember that Pique did always want to return to Barca, I just feel we could have kept him for another year, maybe two. It just doesn’t seem we got the best of him. But what you say is true, we couldn’t keep them both around and had to make a decision. And I do think we made the correct one, what with Evans far more likely to see out his days here.
Pique is class tho
Giles happy new year to you and I hope you had a safe ans healthy Christmas
let me start off by saying that that is a very poetic way o saying f#ck off to tevez. Your a wordsmyth. I live in Dublin and have to work hard all week and make up for that time with Emily and Trigger so I dont get to see united play live more than 4/5 times aseason but last year ws a tough year and my Trigg went out and got me 2 tickets to that Arsenal game, I brought my brother in law who is as Arsenal as I am United . as the dates got closer and Uniteds lead at the top of the table took a hit due to a blip It looked more and more likely I was going to see the 18th title , the honour of saying that no team has won more league title than the team I love and my favourite Sir Alex Ferguson end of season speach live and in person. theres just something about finishing them off with “and Ill see yis in Barcalona” or ” and lets hope we see yis all in Rome” that gave me that little boost to say yeah come on the champions league final. I was standing in the Stretford End and I couldnt tell you what Sir Alex said. I sky plused it and seen it a few days later but I was so disapointed with what had happened I dont remember what was said. I was let down by the “sign him up” chants . what team did them fans think they were watching. was it a bolton bring your bed sheets to the gave with sack the gaffer on it, where they Chelsea fans who sing “you dont know what your doing” at there new manager when he makes a sub(that changed chelseas game for the good) against Arsenal. are they Liverpool fans who boo there team off the pitch at half time because they are drawing. Do they need to be told in 2009 to trust Sir Alex .
True but theres been abuse at Vidic when he’s one of the few players who’s done fuck all wrong this season except picking up injuries. As for WAG’s running football unfortunately if you’re not man enough it happens in all walks of life not just footy. For many of us on here its United Kids Wife – that order, however its not the same mission statement for everyone. HYPOTHETICALLY speaking Vidic has been with his wife longer than at United if she’s unhappy he may make the move for here because lets face it she may be there at the end of his career, United won’t. It is all hypothetical but blaming the WAGs is pretty low. Vidic has been more loyal to United than a lot of foreign players before him and he seems to know the history of the club. I expect him to be here next season the scaremongering with the absurd logic behind the explanations don’t bother me at all.
My last post was @ IslandRed. @20legend99 My understanding about Pique was that he left Barcelona because his grandfather had been sacked from the board when Laporta came back. He did say he would never play for Barcelona whilst Laporta was there but clearly something must have been don about that. We did keep the better player but selling him for £5 million was bad business by those cunts the Glazers. Nice to know l’arse fan was at the last home game of the season where the trophy was lifted and I wonder why I only get tickets for the smaller games.
Vidic,if you don’t want to stay,just follow your wife go.Man U is a great team,and you will soon regret leaving just like David beckam
fred
“Manchester United is our club. Yours and mine”
that doesnt mean that players,humans,owe me there life. they play for the club when they are here. this one player Vidic says Im a United player AND IM PROUD OF IT
that does for me in the here and now
you think that your born with football skill then your born with Ryan Giggs outlook
Vidic owes me nothing
Got to say I agree with Fred. Vidic will go in the summer.
KIng Eric
Fred never said I think he’s going
and I never said he wasnt
fred said fuck off you lying twat
NotoriousRedDevil
I agree that Vidic has done nothing wrong, but I’m not blaming wives either.
But what I mean is that I couldn’t give a shit about what players say to the press anymore.
A lot of what they say are empty words. Look at Ronaldo and Tevez. Both couldn’t tell the world enough times about how much they loved United.
Difference there is of course they happened to show it in their performance more often that not – Vidic included in that, seriously, no disrespect at all, but just fuck up and do the talking on the pitch.
So I don’t care if it’s Rooney, Ferguson, Neville, Giggs or Scholes telling the world how much they love United.
I don’t mean I want to see them out grabbing the shirt or badge and kissing it in front of the fans etc, etc.
Just a bit of passion, commitment and desire to win. Had we gone down fighting yesterday, the defeat wouldn’t have been so hard to take (maybe) but there was nothing.
They looked like they didn’t care and couldn’t be arsed.
Lies, damned lies, and quotations.
Who ever knows the real reason why players say what they say ? Who believes that SAF is “honest” when dealing with the press ? How much does any one of us – on the outside, looking in – know about the inner workings at OldTrafford ?
And, if you were Nemanja Vidic and offered a raise to one hundred thousand quid per week, wouldn’t you first check to see if it’s a “market value” for your services before simply signing what was on offer ? I know, I know, one hundred thousand quid per week is A LOT OF MONEY, but we have to remove ourselves from our own financial world and look at the weird world that professional athletes inhabit – for a few years before they discover that they are uneducated and not really prepared for what some deluded people want to call “the real world”.
I would surprised if Nemanja Vidic was sold in January – I wouldn’t be surprised if he was sold in the summer. Every player has a price and it would seem that TheVirus can pay any price because they get interest-free loans with no requirement to pay back their debts.
The more interesting question is: IF Vidic is sold in the summer does this presage a rebuilding job or can Rio be expected to hold the fort for a couple of more years alongside Jonny Evans (with assistance from Wesley Brown and John O’Shea) ? Does SAF have a replacement lined up ?
Just remember, it’s wise to sell a player too soon rather than wait too long and get squat for the asset. Arsene Whinger learned this lesson with Dirty Patrick and Teary Henry, costing TheArse about twenty-five or thirty million quid in the process. In contrast, Ronaldo was sold at the height of his value – not only because he’s a fantastic talent and “merchandiser” but also because the new guys running TheVirus wanted trophy signings.
I’d be more than happy for Nemanja Vidic to re-up with UTD but, if not, then like Lady MacBeth said, “t’were done, t’were well it was done quickly”.
Love ya attitude GHTT1! We are all a little pissed off at the moment but we should all wait and see what this week and the rest of the season brings. The team has not let us down too often and we ought to trust in the players and SAF to lead us to another successful season. (that’s me trying to put a positive spin on things folks!, yesterday i was like a bear with a sore head and could not face the papers this morning!) Anyway Happy rest of the year to you all and keep up the good work Scott.
well I must have been the first ones on here yesterday to point out that fergie made some strange comments about vidic. but I always thought that ferdinand should be sold in the summer not vidic, and it is worrying that united or the money grabbing glazers are bleeding united dry by selling uniteds assets and stripping uniteds squad, if rooney is sold then we know the glazers have taken all the money united have made.
He should come clean, and put all the rumours to bed once and for all.
I do not buy wifey storeys. Unless she is a genuine bitch, she should support her husband even if he went to play to the North Pole.
Xyth
I have to say if my misses had her heart set on moving to the north pole or the way posh wanted to to go to madrid or la id have to really think about doing it.
if Vidics wife wants to go to spain he should support her and if he wants to play top tear european football at one of the worlds best clubs then Barca could be the saving of a marrage
I cant see him going thou
Gotta hate tiny tears – she should ask herself what was vidic’s previous club like before he came to united stupid bitch. I am sick of these foreign players and their retarded wives thinking has a football snob does they want to leave because the city and weather is crap
gibson is just not good enough for united simple as that, obertan just another bellion…give nani ten games on the bounce and see what happens, the boy has never played in three consecutive games for united how do expect him to replace giggs or ronnie when he never plays?obertan and gibson are the same age as nani would they ever get into the Portuguese national team?…
first off I dont know if these stories are true abut his wife as Vidic has said his wife is happy
and secondly
HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER MET A WOMEN
I freeking love my Trigger but shes nuts and the only way you can make a Lady happy is 2 simple words “yes dear”
and i defy anyone to tell me im wrong
Vidic wont leave.All these stories have been running around for a long time now, how many times should he keep on denying them. The reasons i say he wont leave is
1.Has he given an interview to any reliable source in his homeland or an agency like BBC or Sky Sports?. The tabloids are crap,they even had the guts to link ROONEY with a move to Madrid
2. Has anyone ever seen a video where Vida says he isnt happy or has said anything like that?
The answer to both these questiosn is no, so i cant understand why people are assuming that he will leave.The ronaldo saga was completely different as he had made it clear in public he wanted a move.
The only way Vidic can leave is if fergie thinks the way he thought about STAM. 16 million lazio offered then for a 29 year old Stam, so if Real come with 30 million it may be too good an offer to refuse for SAF considering Vidic is 28.
Gotta hate tiny tears – it is not against women in general, but roy keane he has also said this about football wives when he was manager of sunderland. how football wives had a huge influence on players which they should keep their noses out of their husbands buisness.
Ha ha ha, it looks as if Vidic wants out of your sinking ship. Lol, how the mighty have fallen. Man Shitty will give you lot a proper spanking, just wait and see.
JT’s dad
can you please tell how many Champions league or Premier League crowns you have won in the last 3 years?. i have lost count of it.
Vidic is miles better than the Cunt terry, openly flirting with Man Shitty,cant believe Chelski fans still love such a money grabbing greedy cunt who has a cocaine selling father and a shoplifting mother
phaka – Obertan is THREE years younger than Nani, not the same age.
gotta hate – At work for half hour but taping the Paddy show. It should be a laugh tonight some of the idiots that call in. Give them a bell again mate.
J T ‘s dad – Bit like your “Mr Chelsea” wanting to go. You cunt. You should be out of fucking site by now you rentboy cunt. No defence for a month and you are ONLY 2 points clear. Watch your backs. Malouda ain’t too happy is he? Mug.
@ islandred1981 – As someone who was at the game I understand what you mean and probably got the wrong end of the stick before. If we had shown anything out there in terms of desire it would have been easier to take. What we need is someone to deliver a Keane vs Juventus performance. Or when we went 1-0 down at Highbury in 99 and Keano scored 2. The team worked their bollocks off that game. It has to be in a game which means more to the fans than the average game. I never thought I’d say this but some of our players only care about the money and yesterday it bloody showed.
the fact that vidic has said this surely means he loves the club and wants to stay. ronaldo always said he it was his dream to play for madrid. vidic always gives 110% and maybe some of you so called fans should get off his and the rest of the teams backs and get behind them
@ GHTT
On fire as usual mate.
Vida is a United player and a beast of a man
@GHTT
I assume that Vidic, as he says, is happy and proud to be a United player and that he wants to stay. If that is the case than she should support him. [She is not a superstar that is missing on a career in Spain is she?] If not then we should cash in and sell him to fascists or Barca.
No player is bigger than United.
di maria 9m+ nani,apparently

“di maria 9m+ nani,apparently”
From your mouth to God’s ear.
Any source for “apparently” ?
Have heard all this before, the fact stil remains our financial state is wel documented and as long as that continues we wil never be able to stop the madrids of this world frm poarching our best players at united. Watch dis Space Vida wil go, if nt now then summer. We shuld start luking at replacements. Do u realy think with 36 year old giggs, 35 year old scholes, couple with inconsistent anderson and nani, championship player like gibson. Fergie doesn’t really. No he is financialy handicapped. It sad bt in fergie we trust

Sorry, but my WAG insists i move to Real, it will help to pay the PIK’s that got to be paid in late July (185m)
As for my replacement…. your’ve got John Evans????
vidic – Get fucked you bitter cunt. Said today he is happy. Jonny Evans is better than any defender Citeh have got. 24 million for Lescott? Fucking idiots.
lol @ you lot thinking his going. long live the best defender in the world.
