Manchester United have today confirmed that the injury Nemanja Vidic picked up in our 2-1 defeat to FC Basel will see him ruled out for the rest of the season.
This is absolutely devastating news for the club, given the massive difference he makes to our defensive performances.
“We thought it was a bad one,” said Ferguson. “He’s out for the season. It’s not unexpected but it’s still bad news. He’ll see a specialist on Monday to work out the progress of when he has the operation. It won’t be immediate as we have to let the swelling come down.”
Man Utd News 24/7
oh well, it was a great August/September. Bring on 2012/2013!
Fuck sake. Get well soon Nemanja.
Usually I am not a fan of panic buying, but we need another body in defence once the January transfer window opens. Don’t know if it’s going to be a new signing, someone on loan or De Laet returning, but our current options aren’t enough for the 27 games we have left. That number could increase up to 39 games if we go all the way in the FA cup and the Europa League.
SAF:

horrible news but i saw it coming yesterday. thx to marco streller.
Deja vu Costats read your post somewhere else
Devastating news for Vidic, and for United. Very sad.
Get well Nemanja!
weird thing is some people describe the pain of this injury as the worst they ever felt and nemanja was smiling at times, maybe it was a smile of “yeah im fucked my knee has gone,im human”
@rat1p
Didn’t it want it to get lost in past threads that’s why.
Hard to see this season as anything but a write off now. I hope I am not castigated for that comment but we are not the same defensively without Vida. Time to blood the youngsters for the rest of this seasona and come back all guns blazing for 2012/13, hopefully with a new world-class central midfielder or a fully fit Tom Cleverly!
We’ve always with stood the test of time….. This is a huge blow, time for Johnny to shine me thinks
So the 2011/12 season is gone. Pretty early.
“We hope the turn of the year brings all these players back like Cleverley and the Da silvas. They should be back by new year.”
Tom will be (hopefully) back sometime in 2012. Well done Rob Swire!
never thought that sat 10th december home fixture vs wolverhampton wanderers would have such significance when i read through this seasons fixture list.following wednesdays debacle this has now become as important a game to win in a number of years which i know sir alex is aware of,i hope the players are aware of and crucially us supporters going there tomorrow MUST be aware of.if we win we suddenly wake on sunday 2 points behind city with them playing chelsea away monday.losing vidic is devastating but we have numbers in that department unlike midfield where losing players there, which we have this season,means switching players into positions they are not
comfortable in.still think one midfield purchase in january, and it dont have to be a £40m marquee signing,just some fucker that understands the art of midfield play and we might just against the odds grab no 20
Damn.. Feared the worst. Get well soon VIDA! We need more than 2 signings now. UNITED badly wounded but will never die!
Fu#k! I fear for our season, but we’ll come back. The media drooling over our “decline” will soon enough eat their words again. And again.
Think our season my suffer badly from this. Seems like we’ve had no luck with injuries this year. On the plus side I hope this gives the chance for the young lads to gain a lot of valuable playing time. I’d rather have Smalling and Jones filling in with Evans as a sub.
I just hope Vidic can recover from this and isn’t hampered from now on with niggling injuries when he comes back.
Well that’s tough titty.
Expected, looked a bad one. Get well fast you beast, we got your knee in our minds everytime a sip of naughty water is indulged in.
Keep your mammary abreast, knockers of our bosom buddy Vidic! We’ll bust your boobs.
Bazoom!
Just when you think we couldnt get any worse…
This one’s gonna hit us bad. He was the glue that kept our defense together. If I ever had to ask God for anything then i’d ask him to protect the players from injuries. Injuries and some really terrible defending have screwed up our season. Get well soon Vida.
Injury list so far:
rafael, vida, fabio;
clev, ando, berba;
owen, chicho
JUST need 1 goalkeeper, 1 more centreback, 1 more midfielder and then we could get a decent starting eleven of injury room (FUCK!!)
This is terrible news indeed, one of the pillars of our defence out for the rest of the season.
We’ve have had horrendous luck with injuries thus far and yet there are so many idiots who don’t understand.
Get well soon vida. This is gona be a hard season lads with plenty of downs, but well never die. Let’s just take it on the chin we have been through worse.
We can still win the league. Some of the players just need a bolt of lighting up the japs eye to get the fire going – im sure Sir Alex is on it. Wolves is the starting point of the rest of our season and if we can get through the crimbo still in 2nd place theres a real possibility. Come on lads, fuck the naysayers. Come January we’ll have a few lads back and hopefully Cleverly can make a real difference. Ando usually comes out of hibernation around that time too so combined with Cleverly, the midfield will shine. Think positive, fuck negativity. We’re Utd and the 20th is ours i tells ya.
Trying to be as optimistic as I can but I feel SAF must use this season to blood the youngsters so that they are ready for the next season. I’m not writing this season off, far from it, but it looks increasingly difficult to defend our trophy considering how injuries and an unexplainable loss in form have dented our season. So, blood the youngsters, make them battle ready and prepare them for next season.
Terrible news to wake up to in the morning, hope he recovers soon. I am concern for our season with the amount of injuries we’ve got. This could be a very hard December for us.
Get well soon skipper. I doubt if he will be the skipper when he returns. Big blow for us.
@Utd4life
Yeah, but which youngsters? Pogba and Morrison are the first 2 that come to mind. Pogba might not be here in 6 months. And we don’t have many injuries in Morrison’s position. Imo Fryers has the best chance of seeing more action and if we have a young right back, maybe it’s time he got more match time as well. Youngsters like Jones, Tom (when he’s finally fit
) and Welbeck will play a lot anyway.
Anyone remember the start to the season? Beating City in the CS, youngsters dominating, then starting the domestic season like a fucking freight train?
How the fuck did it come to this?
The Odds are severely stacked against us. It’s not about being bitter or pessimist, it’s just a fact that these things really put a dent in your title bid. I would not put money on United winning the league anymore, but fuck sake how much I’d love it – we can still do it but it’d take a miracle work from SAF and the lads. We’ll not know now but if we win this season, it would be a remarkable achievement.
Because we surrendered our momentum against Liverpool to avoid taking the chance of defeat.Some folk would call it fear
@Costas.. It’s time pogba, Morrison and Fryers are given more playing time. I would even give W.keane a shot. We need to bring back that energy and verve we had at the beginning of the season. If SAF isn’t willing to dip into the transfer market then we need to find the solution to our woes internally and if that means giving the youth more playing time then so be it. It’s not as easy as it sounds but I really can’t figure any other way out.
Done it twice myself. can´t say I thought it was fun to sit on the bicycle for 8 months looking at the lads running around on the pitch. After 2 second rupture I couldn´t go back to playing football.
Vida get well soon and hope to see u back in the team whenever it will be, cause this injuries can be careerending stuff.
enough of all the injuries now in the team. Use preseason for strenghtening the muscles and ligaments, not playing friendlies in America. And give the med team in Manchester a raise.
and while we are at it, in january he should try to get the team doc from Chelsea, Eva Carneiro.
Picture here:

She even seems to enjoy football even though she has to endure Chelseas games week in and week out.
I’m not saying that youth is the solution but injuries have screwed up our season so badly that we need to play kids more frequently. Let’s see what they are made up of. Maybe they could surprise us.
Something tells me we will see a lot of Giggs & Tony V as full backs. Personally will be disappointed if we play strictly youth sides in Europa, 1st game isnt till Feb hopefully get a lot of our players back from injury. Agree with many Fryers & Morrion probably have best chance of steppin up.
Thats probably the end of Vidic in regards Manchester United. I cant see how we can bleed through the youth and buy a replacement (or atleast an extra face) and then allow an aging defender to come in and take over from a player earning his right to be first choice. Also having to spend months getting back to full fitness. Can we expect a call back of DeLaet from his loan spell with Norwich and does anyone know if we can legally do that or is he written into Norwichs books.
NotoriousRedDevil
Its No use to play Giggs and Valencia as full backs. This is what that has spoiled our season so far. So much experiments are not great.
I would give A fit fabio and rafael chances at RB OR LB than Giggs and valencia. Fryers will also do a better job.
Sir alex should stop playing his players out of position. It is not working and it never will.

Earlier in the season SAF did warn us not to get carried away with the results and to expect some loss of form with the younger players which is bound to happen but even he could not have seen this.
coming.it does not matter to me now if we don’t win anything this season. Like Sir Giles said we can’t be winning all the time and nothing last forever. As long as SAF is blessed with good health and he remains with the club as long as he wants and not forced to leave againts his will or bad health i will take what we have and be grateful for the rest of my life.
@Ash: Absolutely spot on!
A situation like this, calls for something special. William Prunier special.
Does such a player exist as a January option?
One can only hope.
Oh my, I think I’m gonna faint. This is the worst blow.
Get well soon Vida, ruptured cruciate is heck of a pain. We keep on thinking the impact of his injury to our defence, but shouldn’t forget that its a painful injury. It’s as hard for him as it is for us, especially when things were going awesome as our captain Rock.
Hello everyone.
It has been a while. The last time I was on RoM, we’d had our best start to the season in bloody ages and were scoring for fun. As kanchelskis put it, how the fuck did it come to this?
Our Champions League campaign never really got out of first gear. Perhaps fergie took it a tad lightly, with his chopping and changing. Even so, if we can’t get past Benfica and Basle, we don’t deserve to be in the competition.
Even so, we’re Manchester United. We’ll never die.
@ASH you misread my post not endorsin Giggs & Tony V as full backs but with the twins incapable of bein fit when required and our refusal to spend properly in Jan can see it happening, especially if we lose another centre back any more serious injuries this season will be damage limitation. May even see Carrick doubling up as a CB, although I sincerely hope not.
@T. oh my god she is baaaad!!
that would certainly boost morale in the camp!!
Well, I think we’ll have to say goodbye to the strategy of scraping games one nil for the rest of the season.
Rio is going to be well and truly scarce on Thursday nights from now on.
NotoriousRedDevil
We can’t get more unlucky with injuries. i cant see a player getting injured for us on every match (For the last 3 matches we have lost atleast one player) . But if thats the case like you said then I would want to give chance to the youngsters. We are not going to do any great by playing Giggs or valencia at RB Or LB so Why not give chance to Fryers or any other youth defender. I know sir alex tends to play his MF in defence but He should try something different and give chance to our young players.
I’m going out for a concert right now. But I just have to say this before I leave: What I wouldn’t give for an MG blockbuster right now? It will be like listening to one of Dylan’s classics after having a rough time in life. Come on MG, one blockbuster is all I’m asking for. God knows this forum needs it after the past few weeks. If you don’t oblige, I am officially kidnapping Hayley and putting her on a plane to Malaysia for my good friend Dave.
Totally agree Ash, putting square pegs in round holes works some of the time but we’ve turned it into a habit. The Fulham game a few years back was a prime example of that. Other than Fryers don’t think anyone else is ready to step up and the ones that are, are on season long loans.
Hey Balaji sivaraman
Shankara chitti, Venkatachalam, Vishalam, Thaanu, Ramani.
ok now im getting really scared..while i have full faith in the back up . it would be foolish to not realise the effect of having vidic in the starting line up. seriously i think we may be in for a long season. the only way to counter balance this is to simply (but obviously) score more goals then the opposition, and by that i mean we may concede a few but the attack must do there job and score more, its not longer a case of holding on to a lead
Should add I am on about defenders not youth squad as a whole.
We are well and truely fucked then.
Can’t see us winning anything without him.
Get the direct quali for CL
NotoriousRedDevil
Thats what I am saying we are experimenting too often. Sir alex is genius but he has been poor this season with his selections.
I Know there has been injuries but he should never have played rooney in midfield. Rooney has been shit after that.
Pogba or Morrison would have been better than rooney in midfield. I may be wrong but i Feel now a days Sir Alex is hesitant in playing the youngsters. Now this is not a good sign.
@Zelh
Don’t agree with you. I know vida is fucking Important to the team but we are not short in defence. This is the opportunity for the likes of smalling and evans to show they are the future CB for United.
We can still win the league mind you. Sir alex will have some solution. It could easily be blessing in disguise for us. With getting eliminated from champs league and Vidic also getting injured, Fergie will now know that our squad is weak.
I bet he’ll be back before the end of the season. The man is a machine.
Meanwhile anybody criticising our performances this season needs to take a look at the league table relative to last season. Our European misadventure notwithstanding this is a United side that has been taking care of business. Yes, City seem to have finally gelled and are going to be tough to catch, but the idea that we’re in real trouble is just kneejerk stuff.
Long term? Strengthen the squad. But for now we’re still in the game.
Some reds need to man the fuck up. Bloody good job our players know to never, ever give up, even if some of the fans don’t.
@Ash the fact nobody can predict the starting line up before any game says it all about Fergie and his line up. However more often than not he gets it right. I’m sure he will get us out of it but I would be lying if I said his team selection never have me cursing his choices.
Going by some of the posts here this is what I can summarize…..
We’ve been going down hill for the past 25 years and FAST, we have a manager who was always clueless, pathetic buying strategy and always missing out on big name signings… We only fluked our way towards 12 titles and 2 European Cups and various other trophies, we have tight owners who are not willing to spend a penny, although 50 or 60 million were splashed out recently on utter piss poor players like Smalling, Jones, Hernandez and co….
These are indeed dark days for United, probably the worst since 58, its doom and gloom I tell you, doom and gloom
Thats it Zelh, keep thinking happy thoughts.
It’s a blow, but we’ll carry on. Everyone will be writing us off. Lets not add to it on here ffs. First thing to say? Rio doesn’t play in the Europa cup. We need him for the league. And the FA cup, if we get past city. Unless Fergie buys in January, but it’s doubtful he will. My preferred partner for Rio, is Smalling. Valencia will have to play some games at RB. The twins can’t be counted on to stay fit. Saturday’s team should be interesting? At least Carricks back! Maybe even Gibbo will get a run out? The haters will love that lol.

Has it occured to anyone else that Carrick is now our most important player?
Complete disaster in a footballing sense. vidic will be sorely missed which now confirms it really isn’t United’s season, we need to scrap and keep our champions league place and then rebuild for next season, hopefully the grand master Fergie has learnt a few lessons himself.
Some of these young centre halfs will have to step up, stay injury free and be utterly sublime, rio will have to roll back the years but i highly doubt it but gotta keep the champions league place because i see some real challengers behind united.
Next season Fergie has to rebuild and get in quality in most positions in the squad, not only midfield as we’d all think.
I doubt some of these players are motivated for the long tough slog in the europa league, it could impact United’s league form, i think Fergie may have no choice but to play youth and young players.
This what all the a.b.u’s want and they’ve got it, a united decimated with injuries, we’ll probably just drag through this season and as painful as it is to admit, i don’t think any major trophy will be heading our way. So might as wel rebuild for next season and ride this season out. Fergie has to invest, if he supposedly has the money like he always claims that is.
Bad news and I dont think it is pessimistic to write this season off.Just being realistic. However you never know with Fergie and United when the odds are stacked. Get Smalling playing there week in week out now. He is good enough and great in the air like Vida.
Regarding the young ones as I said last night Pogba aint ready yet imo. Nowhere near. He was owned by Craig Gardener last night which is no bad thing as he is young. I dont actually much care for him. Arrogant, lazy showboater most of the last few weeks. I will say again if anyone its Tunni we need back. Now that lad is battle hardened with playing in the championship and is hard as fucking nails. The last 12 months he has become a fucking beast. Get him back Fergie. Also good to see Scott Wooton the centre back playing for United last night.
In a way going out of Europe could be a blessing as without Vida we would be badly exposed. Now lets put all our resources into defending the league title. Starting tomorrow with 3 points and piling pressure on the bitter cunts,
Read on the United website, Berba should train today. Maybe a spot on the bench for him.
One question. What the fuck is up with Fletcher? Baffling.
I have no idea why people get off on writing off Rio. Not at fault for either goal on Wed, and has been quality these last few weeks. Granted he has injury problems and looked a little less sharp when he first returned but that seems to have gone. Rio & Smalling or Rio & Evans for rest of season Jones is a good player but lacks the positional discipline to play alongside Rio. Ditto Tom C, 1st season with us and fans calling him injury prone. Unless injury prone now means heinous tackle by Kevin Davies what a load of tosh.
I think its clear that we are paying the price for not having signed Ozil 2 summers ago and Adam when we had the chance
Balaji sivaraman
Don’t ignore my post. Venkatachalam
He’s ignoring you on purpose sachu, get after him! hahaha
Hey Balaji How is Thaanu?
Cat fight!
Go get him sachu!
King eric – i’ve seen his performances for peterborough and looks like he is developing very well, maybe Fergie feels he needs a full season out on loan to feel ready for next season, he may well get called back in january.
But that’s little compared to the injuries united seem to be accumulating this season.
Willie
You can be a nasty bugger at times and I for one love it! hahaha
I dunno about you but in the past couple of weeks I have been the victim of really bad luck and it all started about the time things for United started going wrong. News about Vidic is just the logical outcome of all this bad luck on a personal level as well as for the club I love.
I thought to myself today that it seems that when United somehow fail in something a big injury blow always seem to follow as it has in this case. Bad luck and poor performances will always come for any big side that has won a lot of honours and in a way I feel that I cannot really compain too much having in mind all that we have won.
We have won the most league championships and getting there in what I consider a very short time is an hell of an achievement. Of course we will find the rest of the season to be just a long wait for next season and a part of us will still hope that United somehow manages to win all their upcoming games before January arrives. Then we will hope that the club buys or loans players that can make a difference if we are in a good position in the league in early January.
It looks likely that this will be another season when the currect champions are not able to defend the trophy and that may well be something we must get used to. If you look at it from a neutral persepctive, which is hard of course, then a new champion side every season is comfirmation that the PL is the toughest and best league there is.
Damn Tams!!! Said with love, my sis is married to one
So for tonight’s entertainment we have sachu vs Balaji
My money is on Balaji, hands down…. Best make my way over to the bookies
This season just gets better and better. BY FAR our best defender this season is out. AWESOME. Hopefully evans can step up BIG TIME. i feel this is his chance. GO ON JONNY BOY. TAKE YOUR CHANCE.
Too bad for us but we can cope
I hope Carrick remembers how to play at CB. Have a feeling we will witness that again before the season ends.
Like KE, I’d love to see Smalling play at the heart of a defence for a good run of games. Imo he’s too similar to Rio, but I like their partnership better than Rio-Jones or Rio-Evans.
Lets try a Jones-Smalling-Ferdinand(or Evans if Rio’s injured)-Evra quartet for the next 5-10 games and see whether the stability will give our defence a more solid look.

Good news. More cover at the back for us.
Slow afternoon on RoM, pretty soon Fridays will be the day after matches, hope we can pick up!
STAMpede,
I’m still getting to grips with your outrageously shite post from yesterday claiming that, hang on, how did you put it? The “Oirish” support United have will now fuck off back to Paddyland (I’m sure you reckon that is what Ireland is called) and carry on munching potatoes in between making mortar attacks on the British army. George Best? He was English. Johnny Carey? English. Tony Dunne? English. Look them up, show some respect.
I don’t want to find a scapegoat for my frustration but you being an utter fucking moron makes my life easier so i’ll vent safe in the knowledge you sound like a total penis as you also confirmed your affection for Hackett clothing. You see? You make my job so simple.
You probably haven’t been the victim of bad luck, a more likely scenario is that people have twigged what a complete throbbing bellend you are and are now choosing to cleanse you out of their lives.
United’s support is multi-national, multi-cultural and has never succumbed to the poison that Chelsea, and in the past, Citeh adopt with their fruitless pursuit of a master race team.
If you’re a United fan, which is up for debate because you bang on about seeing things from a neutral perspective- why? Why would I want to do that? Then read up on the history before you start fishing for fucking sympathy that you’ve had a bad one.
Thing is, with fans like you- uneducated, spoilt with success and spouting tripe- who needs Scousers?

Trying to be as optimistic as I can but I feel SAF must use this season to blood the youngsters so that they are ready for the next season. I’m not writing this season off, far from it, but it looks increasingly difficult to defend our trophy considering how injuries and an unexplainable loss in form have dented our season. So, blood the youngsters, make them battle ready and prepare them for next season.

@Utd4life
Yeah, but which youngsters? Pogba and Morrison are the first 2 that come to mind. Pogba might not be here in 6 months. And we don’t have many injuries in Morrison’s position. Imo Fryers has the best chance of seeing more action and if we have a young right back, maybe it’s time he got more match time as well. Youngsters like Jones, Tom (when he’s finally fit ) and Welbeck will play a lot anyway.

The Odds are severely stacked against us. It’s not about being bitter or pessimist, it’s just a fact that these things really put a dent in your title bid. I would not put money on United winning the league anymore, but fuck sake how much I’d love it – we can still do it but it’d take a miracle work from SAF and the lads. We’ll not know now but if we win this season, it would be a remarkable achievement.

Utd4life says:
@Costas.. It’s time pogba, Morrison and Fryers are given more playing time. I would even give W.keane a shot. We need to bring back that energy and verve we had at the beginning of the season. If SAF isn’t willing to dip into the transfer market then we need to find the solution to our woes internally and if that means giving the youth more playing time then so be it. It’s not as easy as it sounds but I really can’t figure any other way out.

Done it twice myself. can´t say I thought it was fun to sit on the bicycle for 8 months looking at the lads running around on the pitch. After 2 second rupture I couldn´t go back to playing football.
Vida get well soon and hope to see u back in the team whenever it will be, cause this injuries can be careerending stuff.
enough of all the injuries now in the team. Use preseason for strenghtening the muscles and ligaments, not playing friendlies in America. And give the med team in Manchester a raise.
and while we are at it, in january he should try to get the team doc from Chelsea, Eva Carneiro.

NotoriousRedDevil says:
Something tells me we will see a lot of Giggs & Tony V as full backs. Personally will be disappointed if we play strictly youth sides in Europa, 1st game isnt till Feb hopefully get a lot of our players back from injury. Agree with many Fryers & Morrion probably have best chance of steppin up.

GoatinaUnitedShirt says:
Thats probably the end of Vidic in regards Manchester United. I cant see how we can bleed through the youth and buy a replacement (or atleast an extra face) and then allow an aging defender to come in and take over from a player earning his right to be first choice. Also having to spend months getting back to full fitness. Can we expect a call back of DeLaet from his loan spell with Norwich and does anyone know if we can legally do that or is he written into Norwichs books.
DECEMBER 9, 2011 AT 12:00
Ash says:

Its No use to play Giggs and Valencia as full backs. This is what that has spoiled our season so far. So much experiments are not great.
I would give A fit fabio and rafael chances at RB OR LB than Giggs and valencia. Fryers will also do a better job.
Sir alex should stop playing his players out of position. It is not working and it never will.

It has been a while. The last time I was on RoM, we’d had our best start to the season in bloody ages and were scoring for fun. As kanchelskis put it, how the fuck did it come to this?
Our Champions League campaign never really got out of first gear. Perhaps fergie took it a tad lightly, with his chopping and changing. Even so, if we can’t get past Benfica and Basle, we don’t deserve to be in the competition.
Even so, we’re Manchester United. We’ll never die.

@ASH you misread my post not endorsin Giggs & Tony V as full backs but with the twins incapable of bein fit when required and our refusal to spend properly in Jan can see it happening, especially if we lose another centre back any more serious injuries this season will be damage limitation.

We can’t get more unlucky with injuries. i cant see a player getting injured for us on every match (For the last 3 matches we have lost atleast one player) . But if thats the case like you said then I would want to give chance to the youngsters. We are not going to do any great by playing Giggs or valencia at RB Or LB so Why not give chance to Fryers or any other youth defender. I know sir alex tends to play his MF in defence but He should try something different and give chance to our young players.

Totally agree Ash, putting square pegs in round holes works some of the time but we’ve turned it into a habit. The Fulham game a few years back was a prime example of that. Other than Fryers don’t think anyone else is ready to step up and the ones that are, are on season long loans.

Thats what I am saying we are experimenting too often. Sir alex is genius but he has been poor this season with his selections.
I Know there has been injuries but he should never have played rooney in midfield. Rooney has been shit after that.

@Zelh
Don’t agree with you. I know vida is fucking Important to the team but we are not short in defence. This is the opportunity for the likes of smalling and evans to show they are the future CB for United.
We can still win the league mind you. Sir alex will have some solution. It could easily be blessing in disguise for us. With getting eliminated from champs league and Vidic also getting injured, Fergie will now know that our squad is weak.

Meanwhile anybody criticising our performances this season needs to take a look at the league table relative to last season. Our European misadventure notwithstanding this is a United side that has been taking care of business. Yes, City seem to have finally gelled and are going to be tough to catch, but the idea that we’re in real trouble is just kneejerk stuff.
Long term? Strengthen the squad. But for now we’re still in the game.
Some reds need to man the fuck up. Bloody good job our players know to never, ever give up, even if some of the fans don’t.

We’ve been going down hill for the past 25 years and FAST, we have a manager who was always clueless, pathetic buying strategy and always missing out on big name signings… We only fluked our way towards 12 titles and 2 European Cups and various other trophies, we have tight owners who are not willing to spend a penny, although 50 or 60 million were splashed out recently on utter piss poor players like Smalling, Jones, Hernandez and co….
These are indeed dark days for United, probably the worst since 58, its doom and gloom I tell you, doom and gloom

We need him for the league. And the FA cup, if we get past city. Unless Fergie buys in January, but it’s doubtful he will. My preferred partner for Rio, is Smalling. Valencia will have to play some games at RB. The twins can’t be counted on to stay fit. Saturday’s team should be interesting? At least Carricks back! Maybe even Gibbo will get a run out?

Complete disaster in a footballing sense. vidic will be sorely missed which now confirms it really isn’t United’s season, we need to scrap and keep our champions league place and then rebuild for next season, hopefully the grand master Fergie has learnt a few lessons himself.
Some of these young centre halfs will have to step up, stay injury free and be utterly sublime, rio will have to roll back the years but i highly doubt it but gotta keep the champions league place because i see some real challengers behind united.
Next season Fergie has to rebuild and get in quality in most positions in the squad, not only midfield as we’d all think.
I doubt some of these players are motivated for the long tough slog in the europa league, it could impact United’s league form, i think Fergie may have no choice but to play youth and young players.
This what all the a.b.u’s want and they’ve got it, a united decimated with injuries, we’ll probably just drag through this season and as painful as it is to admit, i don’t think any major trophy will be heading our way. So might as wel rebuild for next season and ride this season out. Fergie has to invest, if he supposedly has the money like he always claims that is.

King Eric says:
Bad news and I dont think it is pessimistic to write this season off.Just being realistic. However you never know with Fergie and United when the odds are stacked. Get Smalling playing there week in week out now. He is good enough and great in the air like Vida.
Regarding the young ones as I said last night Pogba aint ready yet imo. Nowhere near. He was owned by Craig Gardener last night which is no bad thing as he is young. I dont actually much care for him. Arrogant, lazy showboater most of the last few weeks. I will say again if anyone its Tunni we need back. Now that lad is battle hardened with playing in the championship and is hard as fucking nails. The last 12 months he has become a fucking beast. Get him back Fergie. Also good to see Scott Wooton the centre back playing for United last night.
In a way going out of Europe could be a blessing as without Vida we would be badly exposed. Now lets put all our resources into defending the league title. Starting tomorrow with 3 points and piling pressure on the bitter cunts,

Granted he has injury problems and looked a little less sharp when he first returned but that seems to have gone. Rio & Smalling or Rio & Evans for rest of season Jones is a good player but lacks the positional discipline to play alongside Rio. Ditto Tom C, 1st season with us and fans calling him injury prone. Unless injury prone now means heinous tackle by Kevin Davies what a load of tosh.

I dunno about you but in the past couple of weeks I have been the victim of really bad luck and it all started about the time things for United started going wrong. News about Vidic is just the logical outcome of all this bad luck on a personal level as well as for the club I love.
I thought to myself today that it seems that when United somehow fail in something a big injury blow always seem to follow as it has in this case. Bad luck and poor performances will always come for any big side that has won a lot of honours and in a way I feel that I cannot really compain too much having in mind all that we have won.
We have won the most league championships and getting there in what I consider a very short time is an hell of an achievement. Of course we will find the rest of the season to be just a long wait for next season and a part of us will still hope that United somehow manages to win all their upcoming games before January arrives. Then we will hope that the club buys or loans players that can make a difference if we are in a good position in the league in early January.
It looks likely that this will be another season when the currect champions are not able to defend the trophy and that may well be something we must get used to. If you look at it from a neutral persepctive, which is hard of course, then a new champion side every season is comfirmation that the PL is the toughest and best league there is.

Lets try a Jones-Smalling-Ferdinand(or Evans if Rio’s injured)-Evra quartet for the next 5-10 games and see whether the stability will give our defence a more solid look.

I’m still getting to grips with your outrageously shite post from yesterday claiming that, hang on, how did you put it? The “Oirish” support United have will now fuck off back to Paddyland (I’m sure you reckon that is what Ireland is called) and carry on munching potatoes in between making mortar attacks on the British army. George Best? He was English. Johnny Carey? English. Tony Dunne? English. Look them up, show some respect.
I don’t want to find a scapegoat for my frustration but you being an utter fucking moron makes my life easier so i’ll vent safe in the knowledge you sound like a total penis as you also confirmed your affection for Hackett clothing. You see? You make my job so simple.
You probably haven’t been the victim of bad luck, a more likely scenario is that people have twigged what a complete throbbing bellend you are and are now choosing to cleanse you out of their lives.
United’s support is multi-national, multi-cultural and has never succumbed to the poison that Chelsea, and in the past, Citeh adopt with their fruitless pursuit of a master race team.
If you’re a United fan, which is up for debate because you bang on about seeing things from a neutral perspective- why? Why would I want to do that? Then read up on the history before you start fishing for fucking sympathy that you’ve had a bad one.

@Willie
Sam @ 9:15: “Hard to see this season as anything but a write off now.”
You had better hope that SAF doesn’t read this ! The manager likes to play the I-told-you-so game and what could be better than winning the 20th EPL title and shoving that down the throats of the “noisy neighbours” and the “failed manager” ?
Goat @ 11:57: “Thats probably the end of Vidic in regards Manchester United.”
Maybe – he’s got a long road to full recovery and, even then, he might just lose a step. What’s more likely is that CaptainNemanja’s injury is going to give Rio another year – or else, SAF just bites-the-bullet and plays the Jones/Smalling combination ALL the time.
Ash @ 12:55: ” We are not going to do any great by playing … valencia at RB”
I disagree – Antonio Valencia has shown that he is quite limited as an attacking wide-player – he’s too one-footed and, thus, easily marshalled by a quality left back. On the other hand, he’s a strong, determined footballer who plays central midfield for his national team – I’m not recommending playing him there but I do think he has the characteristics and make-up to be a fine right back. The only fly-in-the-ointment is that Fabio/Rafael also play there – when they’re not injured.
King Eric @ 13:10: “lets put all our resources into defending the league title. Starting tomorrow with 3 points and piling pressure on the bitter counts”
THAT’S MORE LIKE IT !
@ ClaytonBlackmoresTan – Quality post pal. Didn’t realise that was said. No need for our fans to be like the vermin who despise foreign support (probably because their foreign support buys tickets instead of stealing them which in turn fucks off the local scousers). Why is it in times like these instead of sticking together we just turn on each other, it is possible to disagree without being a cunt about it.
don’t know if this posted already, phone is being a pisser. Bad news about Vidic but now its Jones and Smalling time. Cedars have to dissagree with your 1st post. It all started to go downhill when the Doc jumped into another mans bed. SAF was the final nail in our coffin.

Rooney Rumours Gather Momentum and Credibility
OCTOBER 17, 2010 727 COMMENTS
Sadly, the rumours linking Wayne Rooney with a move away from the club are starting to become more credible.
It has been revealed this evening that Rooney has told the club he won’t sign the offered £160k contract, instead holding out for a £200k a deal.
The bust up with manager Sir Alex Ferguson is very real and reached a point where Rooney feels like he can’t stay at the club.
Whilst this might be very real now, it would be foolish to get too worked up about it just yet. Having a temper tantrum in October and actually leaving the club are two very different things. It’s hard to believe the manager wouldn’t be able to kiss and make up.
You can look at bust ups with David Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy in the past but you can also think back to Roy Keane’s contract fall outs. If Ferguson wants a player to stay, they will stay. Even Ronaldo, who always had his heart set on Real Madrid, stayed for three years after initially publicly saying he wanted out.
The rumours suggest, so United could get value for money, Rooney would have to leave in January, given he has just over 18 months left on his current deal. Whilst that is a logical argument if you are to believe Rooney is actually going to leave, I can’t see how the manager won’t be able to fix this with an arm around the shoulder and a promise from David Gill of a great contract.
So Wayne, put your dummy back in, and get over yourself.

You have to feel that he won’t be sold. In the past when players have crossed Fergie there was always a plan in mind, the emergence of Rooney and Ronaldo when Van Nistelrooy was sold for example. When Ince was sold, Keane was emerging as the force of our midfield. I can’t see Fergie agreeing to the sale of Rooney under any circumstances. He’s an integral part of our team, a team still reeling from the sale of Tevez and Ronaldo

Valencia is great as a winger but he was shit at RB. He had a shocker at Rb this season. No way he should play at Rb if Fabio or rafael is fit. Fryers is also better option than Valencia.
I see Redknapp is running his mouth again. Saying how we shouldn’t be allowed in the Europa Lge. If he’s that bothered why does he continue to send in piss poor sides out into that competition, furthermore omitting Van Der Vart out their Euro squad. Has he only just realised this is the format of the competition. What a dick.
Platini having a pop at Fergie as well. I hate him just as much as the vermin especially after cedars told me the tapping up story regarding Robbo. The guy is a fucking racist any excuse to have a pop at English football. How many European trophies have French clubs won you fat fuck? France pretty much raided Africa for their international success. Desailly supporting Ghana as much as France what the fucks that all about.
FUCKING HELL.

Someone embarassed on their own turf by PAOK is in no position to talk. But than again, he’s the next England manager…
How much is that defender in the window? The one that can stay fit for a while!
@ Costas. I realise ‘Arry aint the most popular guy on ROM, but up until today I stayed out of all the digs a lot of people on here aimed at him. Todays comment have had me turn heel on him. What a prick, suddenly I see where Jamie gets it from. Deluded fucks the Redknapps throw the Lampards in there as well all related inbreds.

Ash @ 14:58: “Valencia is great as a winger but he was shit at RB.”
I don’t agree – which, I am sure, won’t surprise you. When he’s played at RB Antonio Valencia has been “serviceable” but he’s always played at RB without much in the way of preparation so I’d imagine that he’d do OK (not great !) if he was expected to play there and could prepare himself for the demands of that position.
I’d also question when Antonio Valencia was “great as a winger” – two years ago ? He was very, very badly exposed in the CL final when Barcelona had thoroughly scouted him and snuffed out his fake-right-spin-around-and-turn-around-move. Their left back over-played him to Tony’s right and one of the midfielders double-teamed him, rushing in from behind to disposes him; that’s exactly what happened over and over again AND he hasn’t been the same player since then. Other coaches have sussed his limited game. IF – and it seems unlikely – Valencia could (or would) use his left foot then he would have the kind of variety that would stifle that method of defending BUT HE DOESN”T and that’s why he’s been so poor this season.
For players at the very-top level, it’s common knowledge what “tendencies” they have and to over-defend them so as to nullify their strengths; the only way a top-level player can beat that trap (against a top-level defender) is to develop other parts to his game – and THAT”S what Valencia hasn’t done. In his case, this inability to compensate is particularly problematic since he plays in a position in which the side-line comes into play and limits his room for manoeuvre thereby giving the defender less space to protect.
RedScott should do a ‘ROM reads’ on the aftermath of the knockout, doomsday messengers were sent out, records were broken, so here are a few, and i dont expect any rants towards me, am only posting, seriously i’ll hunt you down and shoot you;
Stephen Tudor reckons the media have bigged up the United Youngsters into something they aren’t.
BBC’s Alan Hansen counts the heavy cost of our elimination.
TALKSPORT has a brilliant article about a comparison of the knockout in 2005 at the Estadio da Luz and the evolution of the team to European Domination Two-and-a-half-years later. It has a brilliant graphic representation of how that team evolved and how this current one can. I was delighted to see that the writer featured my top target Neven Subotic.
Wenger figures our elimination was an accident.
Sam Allardyce, a good friend of Fergie’s, figures our ever growing list of Injury causalities meant an early exit was inevitable.
Goal.com says now is the time for Rooney to save our season.
MEN’s David Sadler wonders whether Manchester United can rise again.
CIO, a business technology site, has an article about how Manchester United broke all internet global news traffic records after its exit, beating even the royal wedding and other major events.
David Preece reckons only Anders Lindegaard can save our season.
Samuel Luckhurst, a very cynical United Fan whose realistic, put-it-in-your-face articles i wholly love, says this may mark the start of a new chapter for us especially in terms of the stingy leechy Glazers.
Again, Samuel Luckhurst,(he actually wrote this article before the match as he suspected we’d be knocked out) joins the chorus of how Champions League elimination may be a good thing for us.
So thats it, feel free to suggest others.
Denton
Valencia can play at RB occasionally but to ask him to do that job regularly is not right.
He is strong but he does not defend properly.He had a shit game against barca but he is still better as aWinger than a RB.
I’ve done a ROM reads just above but its awaiting approval
Rafael and Fabio should be preferred to play in rb.Rafael especially was brilliant last season before he got injured against blackpool.
They need to be given more games. I know they are injured but once they are back they should play more. Playing more will make them stronger.
To all those who say the season is a write-off: that’s not the United attitude! It aint over til it’s over! We’ll fight the bastards on the beaches! It’s only a flesh wound!
Come on lads, overcoming adverisity like this — that’s what makes United great. Excuse me if I sound like I’m impersonating MG, but it’s necessary. You think we’re great because we’ve won the world’s toughest league more times than anyone else? Well, you’re wrong. You think we’re great because we have won the FA Cup more times than anyone else? Wrong again. Nor are we great because we were the first English team to venture into Europe, the first to win Europe’s major club trophy, the first club in any major league to win the Treble. Thunk we’re great because we’ve won 12 out of PL titles? Nope. We’re not great because of the famous names who have worn our shirt, or because we have the biggest fan-base of sports club in the world and are worth more than any other sports club in the world.
None of that is what makes us great.
What makes us great is that we have achieved all of that — and done so in the face of adversity. That’s who we are. The club who wouldn’t die. When we were on the verge of becoming the first English club to grasp the European championship, cruel fate intervened on 6 February 1958. It snatched 8 of our best (and 15 other poor souls), and robbed us of our achievement — but not our dream. It took us 10 years to rebuild and achieve that dream, but on 29 May 1968, we did it. When we were three minutes from losing in 1999, we found two goals and did it. Time and again, when adversity has tried to crush us under its unforgiving boot, we have fought back. We haven’t always won every battle, because you can’t. But even from death, tragedy and defeat, we always come back.
SAF won’t give in this year. It’s not in his DNA to do so. He’ll fight as best he can every inch of the way, and it’s our job to support him and the lads. Go United!
Will Vidic ever ‘FULLY’ recover? Injuries like these are so serious that they impact your future ability to keep taking knocks (Hargreaves), your confidence (Cech) and Vidic’s brute forcefulness may be something of the past…
In my eyes this is such a bad injury that we should start realistically thinking about a new world class centerback. Because right now we have Rio, who can only manage 1 game a week.
It’s a realistic prospect I’m sure SAF must be considering over the January window, he knows best. But a heads up, don’t be surprised if we sign some random 25 year old from Ukraine or something.
Damn.. just when our defence looked to have some solidarity
Damn Damn Damn..
get well soon Vida..
this is the time Evans needs to step up to the plate!!
COME ON UNITED!!!
@ Denton. Considering Ashley Young is scapegoat ofthe month at the moment and if we’re being pedantic Tony V cost us the equalising goal in the Basle game, you know where he gave away the penalty. He’s a winger mate. Convert him to right back when he’s in his we didn’t pay £20 million for a full back now did we, we paid that for a winger. I’d argue since his injury his development has stagnated, he has this fear to use his left foot but put in a cracking cross for the equalising goal I think at the Bobby Moore FC game last season at Upton Park, so he can do it but I don’t know why not more often. Fear perhaps?
*Convert him to a right back when he’s in his 30s.
It depends on the twins fitness, how many games Tony v gets at RB. Ideally, Biggie Smalling, or Phil Edwards would fill in. With Vida’s injury, thats less likely. Pray Rio stays fit! Or Fergie breaks a habit of lifetime and buys someone in January.
Fuck me can this season get any worse,one jinxed fucking year this is turning out to be
Cheers denton.
sachu – What the fuck pal? Why on earth have you copy and pasted the entire comments scetion?
NRD – Hello mate,. What the fuck has that beetroot cunt Redknapp been saying? Why shouldnt we be allowed in Europa League? What the fuck? Oh and Platini needs to shut his fucking cakehole. Worry about that fucking scandalous match fixing game the other night concerning Lyon you cunt.
To be fair to Platini he spoke to Fergie last year and Fergie said he didnt have the 83 cup medal from Aberdeen or some such medal. At this years Champions League Final Platini had gone to lengths to find him the medal and present it prior to the game. Fair play.
Stateside – Superb post mate.
willie – “Biggie Smalling”. Quality mate.
Rooney looks wistfully at Big Ears yesterday in Switzerland
http://www.use.com/showorig.pl?set=49bb59ab446e1cacab18&p=1
Stateside Aussie … Yea your 15:26 it was a bit of an MG impersonation but still great!!
I can honestly say I’m not bothered if we win anything this year or not. What I want to see is us playing great football again (think second half of this years Charity Shield) and setting a platform for us to be the best in the world again.
I am confident that adversity is the perfect enviroment in which to cultivate a real sustainable squad of CHAMPIONS. (Not the soft money route our neighbours have taken.)
@sachu – hello to you too?
A injury to Nani now and we are really deep in the shit. We have so many injuries it is ridiculous. What did Hargo say about our medical team again…
@ King Eric http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11675/7364276/Harry-questions-Euro-format Reference to ‘arry. Despise him now. I said to you a long time ago I respected him, thats gone down the toilet today. If he played a strong XI he may have had a point but he doesn’t so he can go fuck himself. Spurs aren’t even going to make it through.
Re: Platini, 2 things made me turn on him, make that 3.
1- His disdain towards english football. We may loathe the ingurland national team, but nothing wrong with our domestic league, we have too many foreigners but thats more down to chelskis and l’arses of this world than us.
2- Look at Champions League Final 2008, the look on his face when he handed the trophy to Rio and Giggsy, looked like he’s seen someone spunk on his mums face, contrast that with the following year with Barca and this year just gone (didn’t watch the final when Inter won) grin like he’d been sucked off by Megan Fox.
3- The Bryan Robson tapping up story. That sent me over the edge on him.
Onto happier things, hows your Mrs? Baby must be due fairly shortly? Is he going to be an X-Mas Day baby, if he is he’s going to want twice as many presents!!!
Posted it on other thread by mistake LOL
What he said ? they think I’m fit enough to play
Off topic, but am I the only one slightly annoyed by the “sympathy coverage” of Rooney walking past the Champions League Cup? If only he gave as much a fuck about the game he went missing in maybe he’d have a chance to lift it again? Fair enough we should’ve won our home games, but qualification was STILL in our hands when we faced mighty Basel. We can’t dismiss that.
So the last thing Rooney will get from me is sympathy for not reaching the knockouts. He’s the star striker, he’s the player who demanded more money for his talent, so never mind wishfully looking back at the Cup lets just regain our Title aye? If anything he should apologise for a shite performance! Welbeck showed more drive in 30 mins than Rooney showed in 90, says it all.
NRD – Responded on previous thread pal.
Paul Parker – Hey up mate. Spot on. Rooney;s mind was on fucking Ingerlund on Wednesday night. Or some fucking slag somewhere in dipperville. Either way he needs to pull his fucking head out his arse.
I wouldn’t write us off from December under any circumstances, but this injury is the kind of stuff that makes you wonder if this is our season. Just like when Keane did his ligaments in 97. Or when Beckham broke his metatarsal. It’s not easy to recover when key players like that are out for the season.
@Notorious
I often found it funny that Fergie called Paul Ince a big time Charlie, yet he’s best pals with the epitomy of the phrase. That’s what Redknapp is. He’s a good manager, but he’s seriously overrated. By himself as well as the media. Don’t know what these comments were made for. 1) He’s hasn’t shown any respect for the Europa League this season. 2) This has been a pattern for many years. Someone that that gets eliminated from the Ch.League in August or the group stages gets another shot in the secondary competition.
According to the injury list at physio.com , Vidic is out until June 12.. Pray tell me its a mistake!. I find it interesting that shite – according to the same site_ have only one injurt attributed to city. Whatis going on?.
@ King Eric – I’m good mate thanks for asking. Understand where you’re coming from with the whole apathy stance, thats why it doesn’t hurt as much being out here. Good luck with the baby and all.
@ costas – Funny as fuck mate.
Night lads, its 2am here, I guarantee the Wolves fans will be chanting Thursday nights Channel 5 on Saturday yet, their closer to making the LDV Vans trophy than Europe!!!!
Rooneys mo is pretty much the same every year,KE i remember you saying this would be Rooneys breakout year and he’d become a beast,looked early you’d be right but like every year he goes into slumps.
No question Rooney can’t shut out things in his personel life,its unusal most top players can
Night Notorious!
Just to cheer up lads, check out this video! Carroll scores then reveals his treu colours!

Hairy Redflap is moaning about Rooney’s ban getting reduced to two games as well. Queen kenny also had a pop. Nosy cunts.
Stateside 15:26. made me think of the club ethos and values. United have been associated with a never give up attitude , which is one of the reasons I , like many love the club. . Champions are not defined only by winning and never failing but rather by the attitude that in adversity they believe in their ability to overcome adversity.
Personally , I am inspired by the belief, attitude and focus of overcoming challenges, even , when at times success is short on coming.
Willyred 17:08- I like Harry, but i bet e will have no complaints when the VAT and tax man reduce his fine for tax evasion. Kenny… well .
*true*
As for Rooney, don’t know what’s wrong, but imo it’s pretty obvious that once his spark fizzled so did our team’s. That’s when the defensive problems came to forefront even though they existed from the start of the season. And unfortunately, Berbatov has been too marginalized to pick up the slack in any way like he did at the start of 2010-2011.
Plus, at least last year we knew that as soon as Rooney got his fitness back he would step up. Like he did. Don’t know what’s it going to take this season. Everything personally and professionally has been going great for him.
Rooneys dip in form coincide with his dads problems?anyone remember him having a great game since
i think we should go for a fullback in jan.. nothing jazzy just a body in defense.. that’ll atleast allow smalling and jones to play CB..
as regards to the midfield. we shall be fine once clev returns.. he ought not to be rushed. i fell he got injured again cause he was rushed against everton..
why the fuck are the da silvas out till the new year?? they hardly played at all..
call me an optimist but we’ll be glad to play in the europa.. morrison can get valuable experience so can fryers and the other youngsters.. this’ll stand us in good stead for the next season..
we’re still city’s closest competitors in the league..
and the best thing about luck is it CHANGES
redbilly – Very true lol. The tax man cometh!
True wayne. Forgot about it. That was in early October. Don’t think he or the team have had any great games since.
de gea
jones smalling evans evra
carrick fletcher
nani rooney young
welbeck.
hopefully this team can beat wolves by more than a goal.
I wonder if Harvey Nicks will set a tent up for the OT boys to do their xmas shopping in peace… from adoring fans. City are such a bunch of cunts
rohan- they had better be prepered , Wolves will fancy their chances no doubt about that
wayne – could be. Maybe Rooney’s dad even had a bet on us going out on Wednesday night. Would explain the missed open goal by his son.
King Eric – “Rooney’s mind was on fucking Ingerlund on Wednesday night. Or some fucking slag somewhere in dipperville. Either way he needs to pull his fucking head out his arse.”
Hahaha superb!
Funny thing about Redknapp taking over from Don Fabio. With his tax case on the horizon, what happens if gets convicted? Do they look for someone else? Brian Clough was thought to be too outspoken for the position. Surely, they wouldn’t appoint someone with a criminal record? Then again, he is treated like the second coming, by the media in the UK.
I’ll tell y’alls what’s wrong with Wayne. He’s suffering from Too Much FIFA Syndrome.
You an always tell when Wayne’s been on the FIFA. He goes out of his way to keep trying a spectacular trick or Hollywood passes like he’s trying to re-create his gaming antics on the real pitch.
There were a couple of games earlier this season (just after release) where he kept trying to chip the keeper, over and over again. Other times he’s trying to do the ‘lofted through-pass’ (L1 and Triangle button for you PS3 fans, LB and Y on XBOX) or going for headers.
I would blame EA Sports for encouraging him by putting him on the box but he’d play it anyway. Coleen needs to take the XBOX away.
torontored
Didn’t mean any offence fella, just was a bit shocked to hear 55 years, I thought Cedars and Giles was the only RoM Veterans
Wow man, fantastic United life, at the moment I can only afford Preseason friendlies, Testemonials and the Odd Carling Cup game.
Ole’s testimonial was emotional. The carling cup game vs Southend was aweful, we lost 1-0 I think it was in 2006-07.
Once again, didn’t mean any offence Im a class clown, its how I do. Never doubted you for a minute, wow 55 years fucking hell mate, that something special !
Great comment StatesideAussie! Kick-start the punch-drunk fans with those crazy kangaroo clod-hoppers of yours. Anyone would think the season has been cancelled. We’ll still hammer Arsenal at least one more time, and now is a great time to get a big bet on United winning the League.
Come on United!
wayne, hello mate!

In 2009 the Dallas Texans teamed up with Manchester United to offer their players the chance of a lifetime – to train with Manchester United at its world class Carrington training centre. Each year, the club sends a group of players, accompanied by Dallas Texans coaches, to train with United’s youth teams, experience their facilities and share the latest coaching techniques. In addition, every summer coaches from Manchester United travel to Dallas to help identify players and offer their advice and expertise in the youth team’s coaching sessions. Brian McClair, Director of the Manchester United Academy said, “This is a great opportunity for the Dallas Texans. We are looking forward to welcoming them to Manchester and putting them through their paces.” Hassan Nazari, Founder and Technical Director of the Dallas Texans, agrees: “Soccer is a growing sport in America, and it is a great honor to learn from the best. We appreciate Manchester United’s expertise in helping our players develop into not only great soccer players, but great young men and women.” Manchester United is considered the most popular professional soccer club in the world, with more than 330 million supporters. The legendary club has won 19 top flight titles, 11 FA Cup trophies and three European Cups.
Another perk from the partnership saw the prestigious Manchester United Soccer Schools come to Dallas for the first time, hosted by the Texans at their Ross Stewart Soccer Complex in 2010. The camp is coming back in 2011, and in addition to Dallas, the camp will be hosted by the Texans affiliates in Tulsa, Austin and Houston, throughout the summer.
Notorious @ 15:28: “Ashley Young is scapegoat ofthe month at the moment”
I don’t like singling out players but – sometimes – it’s called for. I usually respond to a comment, rather than initiating a discussion. With regards to Ashley Young – like with Dimmy – I “scapegoat” them because someone else has bigged them up and I disagree with that assessment.
If we’re going to “scapegoat” any players for the loss to Basel then Chris Smalling and David De Gea should be fitted with the horns for both goals while TheWayneBoy missed three (?) gilt-edged chances. Ashley Young didn’t do anything disastrous – rather, he didn’t do anything ! (Same goes for the match last weekend against Villa).
Hello!!!
Sad news indeed, a great player
So sorry for you Vida get well soon
It’s going to be difficult at the back now.
Hope Smalling can do it, I prefer Smalling to Evans
@James21 song verse????? =)
soren
My love, sorry I missed you earlier today my darling! How are you?
I’m fine thanks and you?
Fred – Cheers pal.
soren
Doing as well as can be thanks, looking forward for the match tomorrow, time to set the records straight and lash out
Yes, we must be positive,
but I miss my boy haha
If I had supported a club out of my political views then I would not have been a United fan, that is for sure. I believe the club is big enough to house people no matter what political view they have, and guess what, I know the club does that as we have fans that represent the entire political spectrum.
I am opposed to multi-culturalism and I have seen the bad consequences of it and I would not back it just cause those that do are communists and I hate communism to the core.
I know local fans are mostly commies and that there are powerful figureheads that are on here that run the rule over people no matter where they come from because the way you are supposed to think is very restricted on match days and locally.
I have no problems with other peoples views about things I they are entitled to them as I am to mine. I would never dare to question other peoples experiences from life which shaped them into who they are.
If local United fans wants to run a dictatorship and force their opinions down other peoples throats then that is their choice and in that sense I am far too openminded to ever support something like that.
There is a reason why United are the worlds most hated club and why the world now is celebrating our failure. The local media machine might have been effective in the past to influence fans to think alike but that is a thing of the past and Britain is changing fast now as we see the influence on society at large that a failed politics have created.
When it comes to my bad luck and that it has to do with friends or people around me then I can just tell people that I have not had any friends for the most part of my life as that is something I chose. I know people but I never spend much time with other people as I feel better off that way. I do not drink and I do not smoke and I do not laugh when other people do.
I am me and I always will be!
Some fans are all about Me! Me! Me!
I miss him too soren! His smile alone brings joy to my heart
His smile and goals haha
To talk about the old racism that the irish were victims of seems silly in this day and age cause if you compare their struggle to other struggles out there they seem to have been quite priviliged people. They moved to places where work was easy to get and they were given places to celebrate their culture.
I don’t think the irish needs people that are not irish to feel sorry for them when they always had the guts and drive to make themselves a living.
From now on I will only talk about football on here as I know that my views and experiences are not welcomed here anyway.
soren
And his goals of course! hahaha But I really love his smile
I love his smile too and he gives his best effort in every game.
STAMpede – It is you that is not welcome.
You continually disrespect Sir Alex, and claim it is your right.
You denigrate the Irish and the Scottish at every opportunity too.
We see you, plastic ingrate of a glory-hunting xenophobe! Get lost!
I think Omar Gonzalez would be a good replacement for Vidic while he heals. Jones and Omar in the center would be a wall of doom, plus MUFC wouldn’t have to shell out an ungodly amount for him like they would a European defender.
STAMPede. God you are a narcissistic bore. Nobody is remotely interesed in your woes pal. Please go away Moses.
Wednesday night was a bi g blow. Injuries are piling up and dip in form of key players does not help at all.
But now we can concentrate on the league which seriously will be difficult to win with city scoring goals for fun and never getting injuries. We are in Europa league, still FA cup to play for, lets make the best out of our bad luck.
P.S. Rooney get your act together. Danny Berba strike force for wolves.
Don’t expect the same Vidic to come back immediately after he is physically able to. He tore his cruciate ligaments and anyone else here(I’m speaking from experience myself) will know exactly what I’m talking about. Best guess he is physically able to play sometime around august/september, but don’t expect to see the same Vidic until April/May of 2013.
Cruciate ligament injuries take about 18 months for the athlete to fully become physically and mentally capable of where they once were. Not only that but most of the time they lose speed and agility. So don’t expect the same Vidic.
Lose Games But Do Not Lose The United Way
http://unitedbanter.blogspot.com/2011/12/lose-games-but-do-not-lose-united-way.html
This depresses me even more than our CL exit.
I just hope our younger players can cope in his absence.
Time for Rio to step up and be the rock in our defense.
where is fletcher?
