In our final View from the Enemy preview, David Johnston from the Wolves Offside blog has talked to us about his hopes for Wolves this season.
Scott the Red: Were you happy with your team’s performance last season?
David Johnston: I think in the first two seasons in the top flight the target has to be survival. Wolves came very close to not achieving that last season but they did achieve it and that’s all that matters.
STR: You escaped the drop by one point. Were you confident you were going to manage it?
DJ: It was all going so well at the end of March and then Doyle was the last player we needed to get injured and we lost by 3 goals to Newcastle, Everton and Stoke in April and it looked very gloomy. Wins against Albion and Sunderland meant we were confident going into the last game but to go 3 down by half time at home to Blackburn was a nightmare. The second half was a blur as Wolves fought back and trying to keep track on scores elsewhere. When Wigan and Birmingham both scored with ten minutes left it looked all over. But Hunt’s goal in the 87th minute meant a memorable end that nobody in Wolverhampton with a weak heart wants to repeat.
STR: Who were your most important players?
DJ: For most of the season the most important players were Kevin Doyle and Matt Jarvis. Doyle got injured in March and Jarvis lost form around the same time. O’Hara and Fletcher became the most important players in the last couple of months along with Stephen Hunt and Wayne Hennessey.
STR: How have Wolves done in the transfer market this summer?
DJ: Very pleased with the signings of O’Hara and Roger Johnson. De Vries gives us keeper back up now Hahnemann has been released. We need to bring in a left back and maybe another centre back.
STR: What are your aspirations for this season?
DJ: It will be disappointing if we are struggling to avoid relegation for a third successive year. But I don’t think we will be. Johnson is a good addition, O’Hara only played the last third of last season, and because of injury Fletcher and Hunt only played a third of the games also. So I think we have enough now to progress towards halfway.
STR: How do you rate McCarthy’s ability to take the club forward?
DJ: He isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but what manager is? When he joined the club we were in a real mess and looked capable of going down to League 1. But he stabilised things and finished 6th and 7th in his first two years. Then in the third year won the Championship by 7 points and scored 90 goals. Survival achieved in the next two seasons so he has achieved all that was asked of him so far and I think we will make further progress next season.
STR: Where do you think you will finish this season?
DJ: 12th to 14th. Definitely above Albion!
STR: Wow. Optimistic. Which player do you think will most important in helping you achieve this?
DJ: Hennessey, Hunt, Johnson, Jarvis and Fletcher are all important players for Wolves now but Kevin Doyle is the standout player.
STR: Which two current United players would you most want at your club?
DJ: Wolves’ Achilles heel is the defence so for the positions we need to strengthen I would like Vidic and Evra. But wouldn’t say no to Rooney.
STR: Who will finish in the top 4? Who will go down?
DJ: Top 4 will be Man United, Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Relegated teams will be three from QPR, Swansea, Norwich, Wigan and Blackburn. I will take Swansea, Norwich and Blackburn to drop.
STR: Anything else?
DJ: There are positive vibes around Wolves at the moment. The stadium is being developed as are the training facilities and the team is building into one good enough to hold its own in the Premier League. Whether Wolves can get back to being one of the country’s top clubs is open to question in the modern game of the rich clubs getting richer. But there are plans to take the stadium up to a 50,000 capacity in time and if we can get a team to justify that then the good times will be back.
Man Utd News 24/7
last one right?
Blackburn to drop. Not alot of love there?! Another business model that stinks.
That’s 11 I believe for today. You can stop now Scott.
Well, we complained about the lack of threads. Now, we’re complaining there’s too much!
We’re done in the market, so congrats to C and C. Jammie buggers!
Is 11 posts a record?

No Sneijder. Pogba and Cleverley will be given their chance to shine.
huge words from SAF about Pogba.
If you’re good enough, you’re old enough.
will get his chances this season.
I see his first 30y goal already
MG – We’ve lost the battle mate. The war is something else.
@Willie
Hate to tell you I told you so but…
Thanks Scott the Red and David Johnston.
David, We would loan you a couple of players, but we don’t throw our men to the wolves. Your team will be in the pack chasing safety, but having run with the big dogs for a couple of years, it’s time to show your teeth.
willie

Another confirmation of Pogba
Of course we’ve lost the battle it seems – unless Sneijder stops thinking that it’s city he’s signing for on those wages – ahem
But we shall win this war – let them gloat – our time will come
Scott must have had a busy week. bet the interviews were at pubs. 2-3 pints per interview. he’ll be wasted before the season opener. lol
MG – In this life, or the next, We will have our revenge!
wayne – please get yourself down to The Vancouver Sun and fuck them up!
They are reporting that “ex-Manchester United Star Robbie Keane is joining L.A Galaxy”
http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Robbie+Keane+joining+Galaxy/5248552/story.html
Cunt!
A lot of wildcats in Vancouver.
willie
We will have our revenge for sure mate – and in doing so we shall beat these so called Jedi
One day the dark side shall rise TM
Good night United
I thought Vankhoover was a suck-you-dry sex toy.
22 mann squad for sunday, pogba in there perhaps, evra’s got the injury, valecia and fletcherino out. it could happen.
De Gea, Lindegaard, Amos, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Evra, Rafa, Fabio, Rio, Vida, Young, Nani, Ando, Giggsy, Park, Cleverley, Rooney, Berba, Welbeck.
he’s got to pick the last two from Diouf,kiko Owen, Pogba.. tentatively added his name there.
gotta say the football eason is well and truly upon us with starting line up predictions and all. We’ll see if Costas still got the magic. He was unnervingly accurate atimes last season
bloody typos
why oh why do i get the sneaky feeling Pogba is being eyed by other club cough madrid cough. The way SAF said his contract is almost up and he could leave if he doesn’t play regularly. I hope to fuck not.
Pogba is still a baby.
Fergie is just being smart here.
All square, Paul Pogba will be around a whole lot .
Appalled, that square Peg be in a round hole a lot.
Twist, rattle and shake! Berbatov takes the cake! … and eats it, yay!
So, any update on the Sneijder signing? Willie? Anyone?
fuck me we recently went three days on one thread,now we get 7-8 in one day.lol just skipped by the swansea thread only hade 10 comments
sorry just had a j,slow on the up take
CedarsDevil – The latest on Wesley is that Sir Alex received your memo, and has rather agreeably decided to remind us that he said it was dead before the U.S. tour started.
Well done lad!
wayne – hello there mate!
Have a look at my comment to you at 23:20 on this thread please. Thanks!
Cedars – you jinxed the deal obviously!
@smartalex i feel your pain mate,vancouver is 1000km drive one way,but i’ll email them and ask for a correction,fucking canadians should stick to hockey.lol
smartalex – I knew that memo would lead to something!
Zelh – I am glad I did! lol
Wayne? Give Cedric a toke of that spliff. Hopefully, he’ll forget all about the Sneijder thing.
cedric gloating is he lol,credit has to be given,cedric and costas stood firm
@wayne, thanks mate! 1000km is a bit far, email is great!
CedarsDevil – It would seem that Costas and you were the only ones to take Fergie at his word.
To be quite frank, I still think it’s on. I don’t know why. Either wes or someone else. This is the first time in many years that I’ve really expected signings. Not that I will ever be disappointed. We support United, each and every player, and do so happily and contentedly.
The only anger and disappointment I ever feel is directed away from United, at the FA, other clubs, media or fans.
Love United.
We’re down, but not out smartalex.
Ah come on, adrianrednut, it’s true. I was nobody. But that don’t matter either, you know? ‘Cause I was thinkin’, it really don’t matter if I lose this fight. It really don’t matter if this guy opens my head, either. ‘Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody’s ever gone the distance with CedarsDevil, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I’m still standin’, I’m gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren’t just another bum from the neighborhood.
smartalex – I actually feel the opposite, once we signed Jones and Young I did not want anymore players out of belief that Ando will come good, wee Tom will rise & Fletch will be back. This squad is more than capable of number 20, that to me is a personal priority, the CL is just a bonus.
Others have obsessed about matching Barca, I could not give a damn about that.
Willie & wayne – cedric promises to behave and not over celebrate….. (Believe that at your own peril of course…..hehehe)
Its like sir alex has been reading my comments about paul pogba being ready for the first team, he has finally said he’d be drafting him in this season because he is that good, he may not be ready to start yet but he’ll develop into a superb all round midfield schemer.
This is why united won’t sign sneijder, so you people clutching unto straws can forget it, we have quality in abundance coming true, a nucleus of hungry young talented player’s.
carrick, fletcher and all the older guy’s best be prepared to fight for their place.Its like sir alex has been reading my comments about paul pogba being ready for the first team, he has finally said he’d be drafting him in this season because he is that good, he may not be ready to start yet but he’ll develop into a superb all round midfield schemer.

Anderson, cleverly, pogba, ( soon to be morrison and tunnicliffe) real exciting times ahead, finally we’re starting to develop quality in the engine room.
After wanting the signing because I think Sneijder is class, I’m fully satisfied that Pogba and Cleverly will get their opportunities to shine now along with Carrick/Ando/Fletch et al. If SAF believes they have it (and after watching TC and the midfield this summer it fully appears he’s right) then who are any of us here to disagree. In addition, I’m also very glad that we haven’t caved to mercenary wage demands and set a foolish precedent that would make it much harder to negotiate in the future not only with transfers but with our own players. No individual player is bigger than the club and no individual will make or break our season.
20 – It starts Sunday!
Pogba will play Carling cup games. I think Fergie will introduce him slowly into the first team set up.
You have to learn to crawl, before you walk.
In the mean time, we should have enough, until the lads ready.
CedarsDevil – Our squad is more than capable of number 20, and that is also a personal priority to me. No doubt, we will succeed, and it is very possible that our young players will do better without Wes than with him. There can be nothing better than replacing old-time stalwarts like Scholes and Brown with youngsters that have come through the ranks, like Cleverley.
@Samuel yes mate The Fly told me from a inside source Sir Alex comes on rom everyday looking for your posts.good lad giving the gaffer some tips
smartalex – Your last post is magical poetry my friend. Its the tune I keep singing in my head….
Young players coming through and if good enough will always have my support over any outside player, no matter who that player is…
Good riddance to Wesley Cuntchops. That is all.
wayne – A complete package of sarcasm all in one post…. lol
Love it
Wayne – Lol.
Rafael is out with a dislocated shoulder. poor lad
wayne – shouldn’t you question your mental state if you’re getting info’s off a fly? i know you were trying to be funny but its fair to say only the old buggers on here would smile at that.
wayne – more great insight from TheFly. I can top that though: Lawman10 told me that Maradona has a medical booked this Tuesday. It’s definitely on.
God bless RoM’s very own ITKs.
No need to pout.
Rafael Dislocated his shoulder in training today.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/golf/article-2025435/Manchester-United-defender-Rafael-suffers-dislocated-shoulder.html?
Right, So which of you guys was it who said we wouldn’t need more fullbacks?
This is a public united blog, i just find it amusing with all this supposed ‘cult’ on here that seem to go against anyone else’s opinions, i give mine regardless. i’m not one to give a fuck.
Sorry but Fred is ridiculous. When the deal is on he’s Sneijder’s biggest fan. When it slows or gets reported as dead he says he never wanted him.
All he has to do is turn around and lower his demands, or accept our current offer, then he’s a Man United player. If he insists on these wage demands, we have and will walk away from the deal. Inter may force him out, they simply have to sell or they are fucked bigtime.
My view of it at this moment. NOT HAPPENING.

clicked ‘submit’ once, yet it’s posted twice. spooky stuff right there.
You don’t know more than me, i don’t know more than any one on here, i read and welcome ideas, its football and it would be pointless if we can’t all share ideas seeing as it would be in the sake of united.You don’t know more than me, i don’t know more than any one on here, i read and welcome ideas, its football and it would be pointless if we can’t all share ideas seeing as it would be in the sake of united.
It’s a cult and a clique.
i question my mental state everyday Samuel,even do google searches to check out symptoms.Lot of the lads been banging on pogba for a long time.Didn’t realise my humor was out of date,lets hope the geezers got a good laugh at least.
Twins are cursed.
see what happens on a earlier thread one of the lads was asking for a slight injury for evra to see the twins at full-back.wham one of the twins get injured,should never fuck with fate
Cedars and Costas and the rest that were correct well done. For I have belief in the young ones I can be a greedy piggy at times. Thanks SAF now for the march to 20. Giggs still has 17 to 25 games left in him at cm as well Anderson has garbed his opportunity this summer with gusto. And a heart warming story of a small 12 year old who made his way to Man Utd academy GO TOM CLEVERLY!!!!!!
TheFly – saying it twice doesn’t make it true!
Rafa, shit fuck rotten bastard! not him
Wayne – fair enough, no hard feelings, i thought i could sense some snide remarks lol, i know i bang on about young player’s but it brings me joy when i see them break through, i know there is hardly any loyalty in footbal this Day’s but we have hopes with this talented young player’s breaking through.
Once more though, no hard feelings.
The only thing I’ll say on this, I hope the people who said we didn’t need anyone, don’t start complaining about the midfield, if we lose a game. You know they will though.
I still have a slight worry about our midfield. The away form last season, was shocking for a United team. Only for our superb home form, we wouldn’t of been champions.
It can’t be that bad again. A win on Sunday would ease any nerves. I’m happy to go with we have. If Sir Alex has trust in these young lads, that’s good enough for me.
Rafa plays with such abandonment he beats himself up. The lad need to sleep in a hypervarik chamber.
Shame to see the rafael injured yet again, i wonder if a little more strength work needs to be done with him, his aggressive style doesn’t exactly help but united won’t have him any less aggressive, he is a great young player and wish him luck with his recovering.er and wish him luck with his recovering.
As with so many things willie we have similar trains of thinking. SAF say’s step up lads.
And willie they will all cry bloody fucking murder about the midfield the 1st away tie.
Not all my bad, 73.645298321% is all.
I just wanna make it clear, i’ve never been against the signing of sneijder but when the rumours started, i just smelled Bullshit. the transfer money to get him, his wages and to a lesser extent his age (not that it mattered due to the experience he would bring), i just felt it would go against sir alex’s value for money mentality and i’m not suprised he hasn’t gone for the dutch man.
there is a reason to be concern about our midfield and our away form last season but i’ve seen the likes of anderson, cleverly e.t.c to be filled with optimism (with a slight pessimism creeping in).
Its a huge gamble placing trust on young player’s but if we don’t then how will we know if they have the temperament and more importantly the confidence to step up into the highest level?
I guess only time will tell but i hope we suprise people this season.ed he hasn’t gone for the dutch man.

Zibbie – Jello mate! I hope our fans don’t get on Cleverley’s back, if he has a bad game. He played a brilliant game on Sunday, but we can’t expect that, every time he plays.
Just look at the way Gibbo was treated last season? We have to be patient with young lads.
United lacked energy and mobility in midfield last season, maybe anderson will step up and be more consistent, he is capable of dominating the midfield but gotta hope he stays injury free, gets played consistently and he’ll come good.
The twins are so bloody cursed, I had Rafael’s injury exactly the same, same shoulder dislocated twice in two years.
First time I couldn’t play football in 8 weeks
Second time, I was back within 3-4 weeks.
Rafa being a young athlete should recover in the same timeframe or quicker, so have a speedy recovery Rafael
With only 8 defenders for this season I hope this is our only defensive problem for a while.
Didn’t one the Twins have a shoulder injury once before? Which one was that?
As for Sneijder, I’ve always said I’m OK with it either way. I’ve never been one of these “we need him/got to have him” fans. I thoiught, and still do think, that we would be better with him than without him. But the price has to be reasonable (in SAF’s opinion). If SAF has decided now is the time to bring the youngsters through, and he has decided to give them their chance, then I’ll back that.
As Willie says, though, I won’t have much tolerance for fickle-headed fans who back the kids now — then start dumping on them at the first sign of a slip. Already seen a bit of that with de Gea. Turns my gut, that does. Get on board — and get real. You’ve got to expect that this will be a journey, with twists and turns, ups and downs. A learning experience — for them .. and us too. A process, not an event.
I’ve been waiting for the kids to come through for a long time. If this year is it — well, I’m ready for the roller-coaster!
By the way, SAF’s comments on de Gea were interesting. After the Community Shield, when people were slagging on him for the long-range goal, I made a comment (can’t remember if it was on here or elsewhere) that it was probably a technical issue, rather than some sort of inherent problem. The point being that if it’s a technical thing, the club will work on it. SAF’s comments today confirmed that it is just that: a technical issue to do with his footwork: “It wasn’t so much a goalkeeping mistake but more of a technical mistake in terms of his feet. But we didn’t expect that and he won’t be doing that again.” So we’ll see.
Much more worrying is the news about Hernandez. At first, he was going to be out for a couple of weeks. Then it was to the end of the month. Now, apparently, it will be mid September. That’s not a trend that should make anyone comfortable. It means he will miss the Spurs and Aresnal matches and possibly the Chelsea match too. (He might be back for the rent boys but whether he’s match fit by then or not…) I hope the lad is OK.
StatesideAussie – As far as I’m aware Hernandez would have missed these games even without the concussion. Nobody wants to risk a burnout.
Not just that. The media was slagging De Gea off for the first goal. And what did Hart at Smallings goal? wasn’t it pretty much the same? Nobody lost a fucking word about it.
Imo the 1st goal was not de gea’s fault. Just a perfect free-kick from silva, like young’s. Impossible for a gk to get there in time.
much more of a defensive error.
hypocrite cunts.
Sky TV’s Martin Tyler has often been accused of being a major ABU by a lot of reds (myself included) but I like what he had to say about Sir Alex in this Daily Mail article, “Martin Tyler’s 20 Favourite Premier League Moments”…
18. United’s 19th title
May 14, 2011
“When you think that at the start of the Premier League that United had seven titles and Liverpool had 18 and that here we are with United having won 12 of the 19 titles. It’s a tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson.
It’s the type of management we will never see again – in length of time and control. You know you have to be on your best behaviour when you’re in his company but I’ve found him fascinating to observe as a leader of men. He’s seen the influx of foreign players, the expansion of the club on a global scale, the arrival of chief executives but through all of it, his team has been right there in the mix. He’ll have been in charge of that club for 25 years in November – if anyone lasts 25 months now they’ve done really well. One of the few cliches I’m happy to use stands true: if you finish above Manchester United this season, you’ll win the league. He’ll be 70 at the end of the year and he’s a real beacon for all of us on the wrong side of 60. He’s proof that 60 is the new 40.”

Yet another brilliant comment by fergie putin pressure on the man city kepper and takin it off De Gea!! looks and sounds obvious but i gurantee no other manger would be able 2 respond as rapidly as Fergie!! It takes a bit of pressure of De Gea and will allow him 2 focus for the west brom game!! He is are new No 1!! and long may he last!!
Zelh, spot on about the media ignoring hart’s error. SAF picked up on that, too. Not sure I agree Hernandez would have missed those games anyway. I’m not sure why birnout would be a problem, at his age. I know he played for Mexico in the off-season, but that was only 5 matches in June. He had nothing in July. Without the concussion, he could have had eight weeks off between the CONCACAF final on June 25 and the Spurs match on August 22 — if he really needed a rest anyway, I assume SAF would not have played him in the preseason matches or the Community Shield.
The concussion occurred around July 24. From there to mid September works out at eight weeks. It seems like a long layoff for a concussion. I’m worried for him.
StatesideAussie – Ferguson said once that they don’t want to risk anything with Hernandez including a burnout. He’s still young, came from a league that you can’t even compare to the PL and he played a major part in it. Then the gold cup.
Afaik Ferguson said that Hernandez would have neither played in pre-season nor the first games, but I might be wrong here.
Stateside – Don’t forget that Hernandez also had the World Cup last year. He hasn’t had a proper off-season for 2 years now. A doctor at Chivas advised caution with Chicharito because of the youngster’s history of acute migraines:

You can’t be too careful with these things. Besides, we’re fine without the little man. Dan Welbeck is taking his opportunity to shine, and Big Dimi is itching to entertain us some more.
I’m really looking forward to the game at the Hawthorns. Hodgson is no mug and West Brom gave us a tough game last season, but with Carrick, Anderson, Cleverley, Welbeck, Young, Nani, Rooney and Berbatov we have an abundance of attacking options and I think there are goals galore to be had on Sunday! Maybe Owen and/or Macheda will get in on the act too. Happy days!
can’t wat to get this PL season startet!
Oh shit, I just remembered that WBA have “Bumbling” Ben Foster in goal. Now I KNOW there are goals galore to be had!
So Dimi to start the season with 5 goals?
If surgery is required for Rafael, that could mean 3 months out. Tough break for the boy.
Not too late to buy another full back me thinks. No denying the versatility of some lads, but do we really want to go through the entire season with playing some players out of position at full back? Imo there won’t be many times during the season when all 3 full backs will be fit.
@slim
I only got Fergie’s team correct about 2 times mate. Usually it was about 7 or 8 out of 11. Now knowing Fergie’s rotating policy, that’s not a bad stat.
Anyway, my lineup for tomorrow would be:
De Gea – Smalling, Ferdinand, Vidic, Fabio – Nani, Carrick, Anderson, Young – Rooney, Berbatov
Stateside – to be fair, its hard for any fan not to be fickle and secondly i agree that the young player’s need to be given support during difficult as inevitably will happen.Stateside – to be fair, its hard for any fan not to be fickle and secondly i agree that the young player’s need to be given support during difficult as inevitably will happen.
Costas – do you see smalling as a permanent right back now or a player versatile enough to play there and as a centre back? i think he is superb in either positions.Costas – do you see smalling as a permanent right back now or a player versatile enough to play there and as a centre back? i think he is superb in either positions.

Young Pogba knocks wee Wes off the picture^
@Samuel
I definitely see him playing in both positions. What remains to be seen, is whether necessity will call for him to play more as a right back than a central defender this season. Long term, he’s Rio’s natural succesor in my opinion. I just hope that his versatility doesn’t jeopardize his development as a centre back. That’s what happened to O’Shea once he was breaking into the United team.
costas – that’s exactly what worries me about switching young player’s positions as it could potentially derail their developments, i think the best thing to do is keep a balance between the games he plays as a right and centre back but his focus should mostly be on developing as a centre back because as you say, he is the natural heir to rio
When I read about Pogba training with the first team and some of u sounding surprised, I wrote that it was normal at Carrington ,that other clubs dont do that.
Then I read Fergie’s words, this is huge. The kid is good but he needs regular football to progress ,a loan move is about right. As Tunni,King have done. Then comeback stronger and better next season .
So it seems Fergie’s chess moves are going on. Facinating. Giving the kid the recognition he deserves,a meesage to the first team players and sending a message to sneidjer.
Take his words on a whole about the team ,young players and transfers,so many messages to so many people.
Carrick for one ,loud and clear. Better buck up dude .
The smart move wud be to get a senior like sneidjer or a silky experienced player like nasri.
Things are getting interesting.
”Anywhere he is 27, no resale value, will destabilise the salary structure blah,blah,blah” vs the age old adage ”anywhere grapes are sour”. I now understand the expression well coz in this case the grapes are really sour. Bring on Ando and Pogba forget WS!
Can you imagin us winning the league this year with all are young lads playing thier part. The average age of the team being 22/23 or even younger. City spending nearly half a billion , Liverpool Chelsea spending fourtunes and getting no where us .I think Sir Alex has so much confidence in these young lads. Exciting times indeed.
Berba will stay!!!
@Mikekelly12
Hey mate. I thought there was another line in that quote of yours. About someone signing for us?
I think Mike is just economizing with words, giving his typing fingers a needed break!
Hiya Costas
I bet that cool evening breeze is to die for over in Greece eh? Just like over in my parts as well….
Not sure what it is, but certain news, or rather confirmations have made it all the sweeter!
@Cedars
Hi mate. Thankfully the weather hasn’t been a lot warm in recent days. The heat here can be torture. What’s really sweet is that we can start focusing on the season now.
Ever the good diplomat Costas!
I agree though, the wait is finally over, well for us its just over 24 hours to go but it is such a relief that the season has started
Dear Alex Ferguson,
How ru doin? Fine as ever I hope. Dont worry,I’m not writing to criticise you. This is the final part of my jigsaw , my therapy in dealing with what happened at Wembley in May against Barca.
Firstly, I trust after a lot of homework ,you made the best decision on the team selection.
Berba was omitted because u wanted to play a certain way. U knew that barcas defence was not as good as people think it is. Hit them with pace they crumble.
The key however is to get pass thier hardwork and pressing that starts with the strikers and thru midfeild.
U said we learnt from what happened in Rome. Evra said maybe we were a bit over confident.
I dont agree with either of u. We wud not have been arrogant coming up against such opposition and arrogance is not in yr handbook. And sorry boss , U did not learn enough from Rome.
U had a reminder before Wembley. The game against arse. U had found a way to neutralise them and win but this time u wanted Chica to play so u went 4-4-2.
Nothing wrong with that as long as Wayne maintained his discipline in a midfeild 3 and foward to attack.
It was a stalemate, that is till u got impatient boss,u took off a midfeilder and they scored cos a huge hole opened up and the players responsible did not react fast enough.
Then u went for broke, no more midfeilders, u put all our attackers on, it was surprising arse did not score more.
The lesson here is this, we do not play like for like if the personnel are not there.
U cannot play barca at thier own game, we had to play like what we are capable of,like we did in 2008. This time with Chica we cud have been more adventurous .
Even Scholes says barca are way ahead of us. Sure the way they pass the ball ,like the harlem globetrotters BUT they are not invincible.
U are brilliant and pragmatic, always with the solution. Why did u not just play like we have done in the past? Use our strong points and neutralise barca.
I saw u screaming at Rooney and Chica ,urging them to stay apart in front to force the barca defense to spread thin. Park did what he did against chelski, coming in from the flank to be the third man in the center. But this left holes in the flanks.
Evra started to track messi and was cutting in to the center, There was this huge hole on our left flank.They used it and scored.
In the second half, our defence was holding but our midfeild was being pulled apart and yet u did nothing, They took 2 long shots and scored ,game over.
Giggs turned up briefly in the first half to help Rooney equalise and towards the end of the game.
VDS did not turn up for his last game for us.
Our center midfeild lost it in the second half.
Rooney never did what he was capable of, to be the 3 rd man in midfeild and the support striker,basically the creator.
No proper service to Chica ,he did his best. It was so easy for that barca defense to manage.
I feel so angry,knowing we cud have done better if u changed things with us tightening up and with substitutions and of course yr hair dryer treatment especially for Giggs and VDS.
U moved Giggs to the left cos he wasnt working the center,Park definately was not center material with Carrick. Evra was out of sorts and only started to play towards the end of the game.Valencia had that look on his face, he knew he wasnt in the game at all.
If I may suggest, move Rooney to center midfeild,neutralising thier holding player, breaking up thier attacks from starting and starting our own attacks . Let Chica play the open spaces, I bet a brilliant pass and he wud have scored like he did against chelski.
Take Valencia off,bring in Chris to rightback,Fabio to right midfeild.
Take Giggs off ,Anderson on, to the center.
Finally take Fabio off,Nani in at right midfeild.
Time it right and we wud have the flow and a stronger possibility of winning.
The consolation, Your Fire is burning, u will solve the problem, u will take this team to the next level.
Your actions over the summer prove that.
This season,I feel we are going to do something special.
God Bless U Alex Ferguson and Our Manchester United Family.
Therapeutic.
Lads can I ask a question of u lot what if pogba and cleverly can’t cut it for us and we watch city win the league who do we blame? Fergie or the glazers for not splashing the money on a world class midfielder? Because its the weak area of the team and were asking a lot of two unproven players.
keano99
I will answer your question with a question….. What if we splashed the cash on the so called world class midfielder and he did not work out? Who would you then blame?
I would rather put my faith in our youth and with proper nurturing they will succeed, Clev is ready, Pogba will need time, Carling cup games etc…
Have faith my friend, we will succeed and whatever happens no one should play the blame game
Pogba and Cleverley aside, imo the midfield will look a lot better this season if Anderson stays fit and keeps up the good work and if Fletcher gets his mojo back. I realize that there are many “if”s there, but like Cedars said, a world class player succeding at United is also an if.
I don’t want to repeat what I’ve said over and over. Our squad has a weakness or two, but imo creativity isn’t one of them.
Morning Reds,
ONE MORE DAY! I for one am glad that we haven’t spent millions on a mercenary and upset the rest of the team by paying wages to someone who hasn’t earned them.
What a squad this year.
Twisted Fatboy
Nice words mate………… Its finally here eh? Our performances this season will be some of the best we have ever seen, I can just feel it
Costas and Cedars, Yeah, if there is one thing pre-season proved, it is that we need not worry at all about our MF situation. Cleverley’s one-touch play, both against Barcelona and especially City, was exquisite and Scholes-esque at times. He is as ready as he ever will be and will definitely be a superstar for us. I don’t think that is a gamble or something, it is simply fact from what I’ve seen of him. When Ole – who has seen him from the youth side – says that he is the perfect man to replace Scholes, then we should all shut the fuck up.
This is Ando’s acid-test. We also saw during pre-season what a fully fit Anderson can do to sides. His combination with Cleverley along with Young, Nani, Rooney, Welbeck/Berba can produce some real magic for us. These are people with great skills on the ball and that will only help Anderson improve in general.
Though I still see our ability hold onto the ball as a general area of weakness, Cleverley can address that issue along with Carrick, if the latter can re-discover his passing range and ability and become better at playing the deep-lying playmaker role.
All in all, I don’t think our MF is as dire as some people believe. Sneijder would’ve “improved” us and still will if there is any life left in that situation. If not, I am perfectly happy with what we have. With Pogba being promoted as well, we can expect him to get a look in the Carling Cup and against lower teams, which is only good news for our future.
Costas & Cedars. Morning fellas. Really? Did I miss a sentence? Lol…… Strictly speaking, I never said who he’d sign for!!!! Hands up though, although I did state I didn’t think we needed him I honestly did think he would sign. Good luck to Pogba and Cleverley, I hope they grasp the bull by the horns and do what Giggs, Scholes, Neville and co went on to achieve!!
I did say Berba would stay though!!!
Fat quinny and idiot sags are chatting Bullshit again and writing us off, they’re writing de gea off too, Saying we have young player’s and can’t do much (forgetting we do have experience in there too and didnt young players make hansen eat his words?) great write us off at your peril.
Ouh My GAWD! View from the enemy articles are so boring!!!! This season has the most of them!!! like i give a fuk about other teams and their views.. except for the bluenose ofcourse!
Mike
Half the truth is better than none at all!! lol
Balaji – do you think cleverly’s size would be a problem? i think iniesta has put that debate aside now, we lacked enough mobility, aggression and bite in there last season, however things might change this season hopefully but like you say, it is a worry.
Cedars
I try!
Samuel – those cunts are deluded, best ignored! Matterface predicted 1city 2 chelsea. I asked on another thread how he could have possibly come to that conclusion based on close season dealings and pre season form?!
Mancini said yesterday that we couldn’t tip them for the Prem as his team isn’t finished and they haven’t bought enough players. No hint of irony or sarcasm! Remind me again, how many players has he bought?! Can you believe this man?!!
I think pogba is ready for the first team, he is pretty much bullying everyone in the reserves and youth level anyway, he looks stronger and is athletic. some times wonder kids come around, they need less time in the reserve team and walk straight into the first team and performing and i feel pogba could be the case, he should be gradually drafted in though, via cup games and maybe some premier league matches at home
I don’t think pressure should be placed on any of the young player’s but can you imagine the confidence they’d get from sir alex telling them he believes in them? this really could be the making of this players.I think pogba is ready for the first team, he is pretty much bullying everyone in the reserves and youth level anyway, he looks stronger and is athletic. some times wonder kids come around, they need less time in the reserve team and walk straight into the first team and performing and i feel pogba could be the case, he should be gradually drafted in though, via cup games and maybe some premier league matches at home

Mike kelly – i know mate, i think any fan here would do a better job as radio presenters and football pundits than those twats, they can’t their bias aside and judge properly, it is pathetic and its always good when united prove them wrong.
And i agree with city, how can they not have finished buying? spent more than 500 million on player’s and still wanna get more, buying for the sake of just buying it seems, pathetic city.
Samuel
You raise some valid points regarding our youngsters. In my opinion and in today’s game players must quickly adapt to handling pressure at a young age especially if they are playing at one of the biggest clubs in the world, if they cannot than they simply move on to smaller clubs. Ben Foster is a prime example of that. Rooney on the other hand is a great example of the other side of the coin. He burst onto the scene at the age of 16 and has never looked back. You either have it or you do not and with Sir Alex at the helm who is better equipped to look after the younger players and make sure they are ready. The boss would in no way have retained Cleverley if he did not think he was ready, the same goes for promoting Pogba to the senior team….. I have blind faith in Sir Alex and this season our young guns are going to silence any ABU hating critic out there just like we did in 95/96
well i dont have big faith at least not yet..yes they are all talented but u cant deny we need a central midfielder..people have been moanin on here for the last 2 years about it and rightly so.then after 1 game people say oh we dont need him..well bollucks cause we do and its gona b the same names on here complainin when r midfield is gettin over run AGAIN especially with shit like carrick in the team(im sorry but he isnt good enough..fact)..i have high hopes for pogba and the rest of the youngsters in that respect and i hope i get proved wrong but in my opinion if we dont get sniedjer then we wont win the champions league as barca will just destroy us again..call me a doomer but its the truth
mykidscalledcantona – So you’ll say we would have won the CL with Sneijder? I tell you something. No fucking way. Sneijder wouldn’t have made a difference in that match.
Ronaldo couldn’t beat them and wee wes can’t do it either.
doomer’s kid is calles Cantona.
Good afternoon!
So Robbie is to join the team that he dreamed of playing for when he was a Child.
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/premiership/robbie-keane-linked-with-shock-los-angeles-galaxy-switch-16036147.html
they have always been his first chioce I’m sure
@Mikekelly12
Call me pessimistic, but I’ll only be certain once we are in September and he’s still a United player.
@Zelh
Yeah, I guess Sneijder with his supreme defensive skills would have stopped the wave of Barcelona attacks.
Costas – Best midfield enforcer I’ve ever seen. And best playmaker I’ve ever seen. Period
He’s world class but to say we would have beaten Barca with him without any evidence is BS. Why did Holland lost though? Sneijder played for them!
Don’t get me wrong here. I’d love to see us sign sneijder but there has to be a reasonable fee and wages. Otherwise we move on like we always do.
It is 100% wrong to think that Barcelona were unbeatable on the 28th May 2011.
I would like to answer keano99′s question with a quote –
“If you can’t trust Fergie, you can trust no one, mate! Fergie knows best!” – RedManWalking
And Afternoon Cedars, Balaji et all…
Tomorrow we get to see Cleverley in action AGAIN!
So, it was Özil mania last summer, Sneijder mania this summer. Who will it be next summer United fans will be clamoring for. For inevitably there will be again a world class centre midfielder shaped hole in our midfield – if not two.
smartalex – nobody’s unbeatable, but to say “If we sign him, we can beat them or would have beaten them!” is just ridiculous.
Keano99
You can’t blame the Glazers. Gill has said and Fergie as well, that the moneys is there to spend.
If we don’t achieve our goals this season and it’s down to the midfield not being good enough, that’s on the manager.
The boss is humble enough person, to accept full responsibility. Our squad is good enough to win another league.
The champions league is a different proposition though. The challenge is for everyone and not just us. How to solve the puzzle of beating Barcelona?
ps the quest for number 20 starts tomorrow! See ya’all later!
Zelh – nobody’s unbeatable, that is true.
Clearly, it is ridiculous to say “we WOULD have beaten them if …”
However, it is not ridiculous to consider how we might have beaten them, and it is certainly possible that the slightest change in events can produce a completely contrasting result. An example of this is the semi-final against Bayern the year before. Another example is the previous loss to Barca, where most pundits agree that had we scored first, the game would have been very different. The facts are that we dominated the initial stages of that first final loss, and could or should have scored first.
Barca vs Madrid:
Barca have now achieved thier level of playing harlem globetrotters football.
But defensively they are vulnerable.
They have not been as successful in the transfer market when spending huge money.
Thier attacking talent has been enhanced, thier midfeild maestro has been reinforced with cesc.
They are going to need it, to avoid any burnout and any injury problems.
They now have xavi,iniesta,cesc to play together or more likely rotate them in the team.
If defensively they strengthen , then is going to be tough for everyone.
They have dealt with Mour and madrids challenge last season but this season it will be so much tougher.
Whether any other team like Valencia or Big spending Malaga will challenge is difficult to say.
Madrid have been a money making machine under thier rich presidents. Thier level of arrogance is amazing.
To actually say to thier coach, why do u need defenders,attack shows thier lack of understanding what makes a succesful team.
Maybe in the past they have been a first class team and club in thier style and character; all that has changed.
They have in the last 10 years changed managers like changing condoms.
No respect whatsoever.
They boasted about how quickly they recouped the money they spent on getting becks.
However what u do not see is how they actually manage thier club.
For example ,they are involved in the making of thier shirts.
Contrast , Manutd, Leave it to Nike ,as thats thier speciality, to do the nitty gritty involving the shirt.
When madrid have to go get 30 mil in loans for operating cost , u wonder what the hell is going on.
So while they make money , how much is goin to actual expenses,overheads?
The spanish financial system is murky.
Mourinho has achieved something no other manager has done in the last 10 years and more.
He got the football director fired, assumed control of the team.
Why? The egos that run madrid are desperate for some success,they are willing to do something drastic.
Have no doubt if they win the liga, or anything else, the egos will crow and crow and go back to thier business
as usual. mourinho will be discarded as the usual practice.
Zidane has now gone from advisor to president to director of football but with different powers to the
previous idiot. Why? so mourinho can have his responsibilities untouched.
People say benzema is leaving, while that might happen, it wud be a huge blow to zidane who got the kid to madrid.
benzema will stay and give it a go.
Its 2 players now ,benzema and varane who have rejected us after being seduced by zidane.
Hopefully, its was bullets dodged.
This season will continue from where they left off, that is mour/madrid closing the gap .
For mour to get madrid to play proper defense is a huge achievement but they are getting there.
Even ronaldo has finally scored against them.
The battle royale hopefully will help us in the champions league ,as they battle each other silly
at home.
Ok now me go hunt for food. See u guys after midnight , under the full moon ,howling if todays result go our way.
The debate seems be if we can beat Barca with Sneijeder.
As some of you have stated: Holland did not beat Soain, and that’s something to think about. One player can’t beat them all. Anyone who saw Robson know that.
We need to grow a midfield as strong as Giggs-Scholes-Keane-Beckham. That will take a few seasons, but it’s the only way. If a new midfield have fast players like Chicharito and Wellbeck and the mature version of Rooney combined with our new young defense… we could well be the team to beat in Europe in 2-3 years.
Who is this midfield? Nani-Cleverley-Anderson-?……. Fletcher will be good to have in this transistion.
As for Sneijder – HE’S TOO GREEDY! Who wants to earn a lot motre than your team mates? The same as Rooney should be enough!
Giggs, when used smart, can put in some big performances when needed this season. He’s still a class act! I’m also looking forward to the League cup. A line up of Morison, Pogba, Keane, Jones, Smalling, Cleverley and with Berbatov(?) as the captain could go all the way!
So looking forward to tomorrow! For today I’m a hard core Sunderland(Manchester United B) fan!
what up ROMsters. Wes the main topic is see. To beat Barcelona is simple. Score more than they do.simple
i’ve said it a million times and i’m gonna make it a million and one. Be the best you can be, and you will defeat any opposition. The specifics are almost trival. The teams who beat them last season had no world beater in their ranks. They pulled together and did a job and got the win
@Dave
Interesting point about Benzema and Varane being seduced to Madrid by Zidane. But, I remember reading an article long back about Zidane wishing for his son to leave Madrid for Man Utd. Might be total bollocks, but it did make me laugh. I mean Benzema and Varane were seduced because he works for Madrid – Its part of his job. But when it came to his own son, feels like his fatherly feelings kicked in
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-News-Manchester-United-are-interested-in-Zinidene-Zidane-s-son-Enzo-article721852.html
Seen some videos of the kid. I know youtube makes even Emile Heskey look like Maradona. But this kid’s style of play reminds me of Zidane and I am pretty sure we are never going to see him in a United shirt!
i see smalling playin at right bak excelently wel tru d season,not a prob wit his development.hes only playd mayb less than 50games in his career at CB nyway.sergio ramos,ivanovic,brown(08),even essien has bin xcelent RB..so i disagree wit d great costa on dis one.lol
@RedManWalking
I agree with your argument. A team effort is what’s needed. And this United team seems more like a team than any other I’ve seen. But we need brave midfielders -”young Scholeses”! I think we have them, but they need time. This year might bee too soon, but it will happen before SAF/LAF retires. We will be back on the throne again!
We are on the throne
rumours started that Burgerking Kenny put in a 30m bid in for a guy called gerrard. SSN reporting that he’s already in liverpoo

Is Rio officiating mate?
Would love to see Rio in India and Pakistan – Manchester United Ambassador Rio Ferdinand
Nice ring to that
Imagine if Rio bought peace to India and Pakistan through football.
Now that would be giving something back to the community!
Come On Sunderland. Come On Newcastle. Come On Stoke. Come On Swansea.
COME ON UNITED.
MG – Hello my friend! How are you today? Hungover, perhaps?
Rio would probably love to be right in the middle of that game! Not one to shun the limelight, our record signing. The match is to be held at the Pride Park Ground, Derby; on the 3rd of September. I’m sure that Rio will be visiting India soon, as he is spreading the good word (about rioferdy5) all over the world. He probably has more fans in India than in Britain!
Just saw Sunderland’ defence: Bardsley, Brown, Ferdinand and Richardson.
Is this Sunderland or Man United circa 2005-06?
Lads, which game should I watch?
Sunderland vs Liverpool
Qpr vs Bolton
Fulham vs villa
??? Help ???
Costas – Is Rip van Winkle leading the Sunderland line?
that cunt suarez missed a penalty.
the cunt suarez scores. because no one can deny he is quality.
The dippers are playing over the odds. C’mon Sunderland! Shirley you can get controll over that cahmpionchip midfield of L’pool?
woeful defending by sunderland.
Brucey needs to give a fucking half time talk to Sunderland United..
the stealth United should fucking beat the dippers..
carragher again with a horror tackle.
utter cunt.
Good season all that are Red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the start of the window, we as fans have ideas, SAF has plans.
Ge Gea, Jones and Young 50 million spent, TC, Kiko. Diouf and Wellbeck back from loans. Nice 20 can be had.
This blame game if Man Utd does not win is beyond me. Man Utd have won 12 of 19 BEPL tittles. Fuck me, sometime the other guys just beats you. Man Utd did not loose the league by 1 point 2 years ago, The Rent Boys won it. If’s and’s and but’s are no way to live. It’s do you best, prepare for success then what’s next!
Next is the quest for 20 with a great team. Let the kids grow, ABU cunt will do their best to tear them down,as a Man Utd fan we need to support them and pick them up when they fall. We all fall learning to run.
Dirk odd man out?
Saurez scores because that tit Mingolet dives out of the way of the ball.
that’s what we wanna see brucie!
FUCK THAT SCOUSE SCUM!
Cedars – i totally agree, some player’s develop faster than other’s, and at united and with our manager in favour of young player’s, if you’re good enough to break in then you’re old enough.
I think we can learn from releasing player’s without giving them enough games, e.g rossi who has now developed into a top player.
So yeah definitely i’m all for bringing youth through but of course we have to mix them with experienced one’s, we must not put pressure on them as wel. like you say though, all this people writing united off due to us bringing through youngsters can hopefully be made to eat their words this season.Cedars – i totally agree, some player’s develop faster than other’s, and at united and with our manager in favour of young player’s, if you’re good enough to break in then you’re old enough.

Good Afternoon mate
No hungover whatsoever – sober as can be – need to carry on writing – and as far as I’m concerned when United play that’s all the thrill I need
Wes Brown is having a really good match .. sticking it to em scouse cunts
great performance from big bad wes.
MG this celebration of your birthing day, is one with a happy MG writing away. Good on you mate for finding your smile. I was fortunate for the parents I have. They taught me no one is promised tomorrow, enjoy the day. I have been so blessed, I have liked or loved going to work 80% of may adult life. Working with and coaching people, developing their communicative powers and understanding of self and surroundings. When their spouse seeks me out to thank me, for now they listen to what is said and responds to that, not just waiting for their turn to talk. Any way kudos to you mate and a happy, happy D-Day aftermath.
1-1 hehe.
Is Charlie Adam having blinder?
Looking a bit at the other results. A bit surprised by QPR’s thrashing.
On the other hand, not suprised one bit that Kieron Dyer was the first player of the season to get taken off after 7 minutes.
mabye pool should have saved their good 45mins for later on
adam again only visible in the first half.
Hey Costas, my we wes sword is yours and Cedars….. you win in a sense mate hehehe. We all win loving the REDS!!!!!
Brilliant! Well done Stealth United! Well played Wes Brown!
I do love the Young Guns SAF has, and Pogba must have looked good in training!!!!!!!!!!
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 million pound Wes keeps 35 million pound Carrol in his back pocket. How about that?
Oh, it’s their year…
@Zibbie
We are sensible people mate. We won’t have you kissing our feet or anything. Just bow to them.
Stelth point talley is 2 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you sunderland, i meant united b team
I I’m bowing as you read this.
Thanks for not making me kiss your ass of feet.
KEBAB’S FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!
Samuel – united WE stand – I think young and cleverly defiantly seem to be improvements to the united midfield than what we have had last season, depends on how cleverly improves this season, is he the real deal? only time will tell. Its lke the hernandez situation, impressed in the community shield, but many said lets see how this mexican striker does through out the season, and we saw the results. So in my view, cleverly could mimic hernandez breathtaking road to stardom after working so hard to get to the top
Good point for Norwich and Ritchie De Laet by the way. Wigan in trouble already.
@Zibbie
We’ll get there, lol. Anyway, on a serious note, the only Wes I wanted at Old Trafford produced a solid display today. He’ll be missed.
Come on Toon! Smack the Arse!
SAF Must have belief in Ritchie De Laet as he gives him time to win his place at Old Trafford.
A stealth point tally should be keep by someone other then me all year long, MMMMUUUUUHHHHAHHHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHMMMHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And Bolton have won the premiership!
Oh wait 37 games left.
Liverpool will have to wait for next season again
No beach ball in sight
Costas – they all call de gea a complete flop after 1 game, yet everyone seem to still hype carrol and he cost 35 million. I rest my case
Get where, ass kebabs? Chicken but done right is good.
I love how we still adore our departed reds even though they are not our players anymore.
Loyalty will always be respected and rewarded by us because it is a admirable trait.
There’s only one big bad wes !
King Kenny has made a difference! At least now they are not losing these games. And like MG said, Bolton top of the league!
Joey Barton is starting for Newcastle. He made himself available and no one has come knocking yet? Well what do you know?
Thanks Zibbie!
Now where is that beach ball?
FUCK ALL ABU CUNT’S!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
MAN UTD are the only threat to Man Utd.

@SMARTALEX
rite it appears i started the barcelona debate..ok for 1 zelh i didnt say we would beat barcelona if we had sneidjer i just said we wouldnt if we didnt..he would make r midfield a hell of alot stronger..simple as that..as for ronaldo i lkove the guy but he was a greedy fuck that nite we lost and was all about himself..as for lat year were barcelona really that good?i dont think so i just think we were poor again, we r a much better team than that but r midfield got over run badly..why?cause it isnt good enough..and smartalex im not a doomer mate im just telin it how it is(ps yes my sons middle name is eric cantona)i love this club and i trust the manager aswell but he said he wants to get closer..his words not mine and with these signings im not sure how we have.but like i said i hope cleverly and pogba prove me wrong
good old wesley brown. done all united fans’ proud. exactly why he was & will always be adores at old trafford! next, come-on obertan!
F.I.T.B – totally agree about cleverly, he looks like one of those clever technical midfield player with good movement, passing and an eye for a goal.
We can’t claim he is the real deal yet until he performs consistently in the premier league but the confidence he would have gained from the barca and city games could potentially be the making of him, lets wait and see.
As for young, we can reserve full judgment for him as wel, has shown promise but it’s another thing performing at the highest level and in pressure games, again we shall wait and see but the future is bright whatever the a.b.u say.sistently in the premier league but the confidence he would have gained from the barca and city games could potentially be the making of him, lets wait and see.

mykidscalledcantona – look the boss clearly thinks the youth coming through, is better risking, than wasting it on a midfielder, who can be injury prone, who wants wages of access of 200k a week and even more, his goalscoring record is quiet poor for the price many think he is worth, and the boss thinks cleverly is a potential star who can easily do WS’s job, and this is in the boss’s eyes. Look at united’s midfield this season, yes I have said united need one, but what we are seeing from the boss’s plans, he sees cleverly morrison pogba has future world class midfielders. Anderson has a point to prove, while carrick and fletcher will return to form. And for me the youth academy, it is the model the club has built its corner stone of its success since the club was formed, and was revolutionised in the 50s all the way to the early 90s.And now its happening again
Second FITB and everyone heed that lesson
Shamelessly stolen from a Sunderland forum:
Wes Brown – Arrested leaving Anfield with 35 million in his pocket
buying WS for 35 million and wages of 200k a week, or giving youth a chance are both has huge risks has each other, and how is WS that much more better has a player than a cleverly, the irony is cleverly has more premiership experience than WS.
MG – damn rite, and WB mun not seen you post here in a long while
@mykids called cantona
mate i understand your point. i am sure fergie knows we are missing an experienced top midfielder like sneijder. but the cost might be just too much. he could be 30 -35 million plus wages of 10 million a year for four years and he is 27. so its realy about 75 million for 1 player.
also if we do sign wes then pogba wont get chances.rememeber rossi. we signed tevezbut rossi left and is a great player now. fergie doesnt want that to happen with pogba macheda etc.
as for beating barca we will do it soon. they are a great team. but there cycle will end soon.
Cilla Black: http://redflagflyinghigh.com/2011/08/well-never-die/video-luis-suarez-takes-one-of-the-worst-penalties-in-premier-league-history
FITB I Echo all you have said, when SAF make’s a choice we back that choice. People who worry of the bad, well they never win. WS, Sanchez and Nasri all could have come and Man Utd could have lost out on the BEPL and the CL outing at the round of 16, nothing is ever for certain. Anderson has done a great job so has TC, Fletch is getting fit and hitting his prime. Man Utd is fine.
19 The quest for 20 begins.
GO TOON!!!!!!!!!!!!
F*ck yes. We don’t play till Sunday, but the Stealth United B team (aka Sunderland), has already taken 3 points of a potential top 6 side. What a strike from their new boy Larson, Great defending from arguably a United Europa league back 4 (by name and almost deed).
Ha ha ha ha ha. They will be cursing United up in Red Scouseland tonight!
Please don’t let us slip on the morrow.
sachu – tevez proved a much better fit than a rossi, and he did fit like a glove into the united 3 prone 2007/08 attack. I am sick of barca talk they are a great side, but many got to stop wanting united to buy this and that to match their level we could do it within and make our own way of setting the bench mark we are united. But to be fair to that diving lot, as long has messi xavi and iniesta stay fit and on form especially messi, they are going to be hard to stop. If fabrigas and sanchez prove to be brilliant signings, they will be a formidable attacking force.
Something is wrong when one sees the name O’Hara and can only recall Cleverley’s Emily O’Hara.
sachu, give me a cure!
mykidscalledcantona
I don’t think that you are a ‘doomer’, I don’t know what that is.
You said “call me a doomer”, so I did.
Good luck talking to Zelh, he doesn’t converse, he snipes, and runs away.
Or not, Zelh?
Zibbie – Last season was a stepping stone in the right direction for this united side, but its a new generation now. This is the most exciting united side I have ever seen, even more than the 1998/99 outfit, this side could easily make it 4 titles in a row if this side stays together and improves every year, with de gea lindergard the da silva twins smallen jones evans anderson cleverly Morrison pogba nani valencia young rooney hernandez welbeck, we have the heart beat of a united side that is British, and much like 95 they could all grow up together. I look at united going forward, I could name nearly 10 players who could win us a match on their day. If a cleverly becomes the player we all hope he will be, its a problem solved
@fitb
mate , we just have to be ourselves.
Danny Simpson has done well for himself at Newcastle.
He’s one of my favorite reserve players, the lad was mancunian born and could have made it if we didn’t have rafael,Fabio,red nev,brown and sheasy at the time.
FITB
I’ll be around mate – I’m busy writing – man on a mission and all
anyone wanting link for the game here it is, it does stick
http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/78380/1/watch-newcastle-united-vs-arsenal.html
FITB a British flare for the future is for sure, what is the exact rule for 21 year old? When is the date of theire 21st or 22nd b-day that the BEPL consider them in the official 25 player per year? Does TC count on the 25 the twins Smalling?
The team looks set for 3 to 5 years with just SAF buying youth and prospects and maybe 1 or 2 others.
This is as excited as I have been for the start of a season since the year of the BEPL an CL double.
@smartalex
@fergie is the boss
apoligies smartalex it appears i did say that..ha..ok FERGIE IS THE BOSS i agree with pritty much everything ur saying and as regards to the likes of morrison, pogba and cleverly i think they have massive futures aswell as da silvas, smalling and jones and i hope anderson keeps the form he showed against city but we need experience aswell and its the media sayin about wages etc and every1 knows how much shit they talk..if its true and sneidjer wants the money then fine he can piss off but we definatly need a player like that..u say he doesnt score many but neither did scholes for a good number of years yet he was still a top performer..as for carrick he has never been good enough for united and i believe he will b pushed out this season..i believe in the boss but i also believe sneidjer will sign and wen he does you no there will b alot of happy faces on here.
Sept. 1st will be here soon then we will have until Oct 15th then the next window talk will start. That will be a great 6 weeks.
0-0 go Toon.
what a cracking goal by gary Cahill and Larsson… certainly the two best goals so far..
by the way, Bolton crowned champions after gameweek 1, day 1
@mykidscalledcantona – All good!
Just caught a bit of the talk about barca, sneijder etc. Regular posters know I think we would be better off with Sneijder than without him, but that I don’t consider him essential. But no single player is going to make the difference to beating barca or not. Beating barca will require a team effort and a “team effort” is defined by many factors that go beyond the abilities or the individual players — for example, chemisty and understanding. In that sense, bringing in Sneijder (or anyone) from outside carries its own risks, because thetre’s no way to know how well the chemistry will work until you actually try it. And I think we’ve already seen that Cleverley does have a certain chemistry with Rooney and Nani and others.
The other point about Barca is that while the boss has set that as a target, he didn’t say it had to be achieved this year. What I remember is he said it was a target to be achieved over the next few years.
I’ve no doubt that if the price was right, SAF would like to have Sneijder. The question is value, and that’s a judgment that requires consideration of many factors. Money is onkly a part of it. The player’s experience and ability are only a part of it. Most of all, he has to consider what difference the player might make, given the players currently available to him. In other words, he has to assess the “incremental value” of buying a player in. I think that if we didn’t have players like Cleverley, and possibly Pogba, coming through, then SAF might very well think Sneijder offers good incremental value at 35 million (or whatever it is). But SAF — having seen Cleverley back in our shirt, and also knowing the other young talent he has available — has now decided that Sneijder doesn’t enough extra value to justify that outlay.
And I’m fine with that. In fact, I am fine either way, because that’s a judgment call which only SAF can make.
Obertan will start the 2nd half
Come on UberToon!
good luck destroying arse-anal dear Obertan…
Gibbs lucky to stay on the field.
Jonas is a real trier! He’s got a lot of heart.
barton is a fucking pornstar!
smartalex, Yeah, he’s exactly the kind of player the opposition could use over a season. The Gunners have got enough players who use their head but nobody who plays with their heart, when compared to people like Dixon, Viera, Henry, Adams etc.
BTW, the Twitter jokes on the size of Gervinho’s head have me in splits.
mykidscalledcantona – WS seems a player who was never desperate to join united, he seems happier to join a club who will offer him the biggest pay packet, at times I do not blame him, anyone wants a big piece of the pie when it comes to work. Now the only players for the price asked who would improve united which is a guarentee, is messi xavi iniesta CR7 alonzo, they are the 5 biggest players in the world that would improve united to a whole new level, for different reasons.
Zibbie – I do not know when it comes into play.
StatesideAussie – I think everything has changed since the barca victory in the US, and it has nailed that theory shut, that the boss sees cleverly has someone who is ready, for now the home games he is ready he will play for most of them, if he improves then it could be week in week out, by november december time. we will know for sure if he is ready, just like hernandez.
Song deliberately trampled on Barton’s leg. He should be banned for 10 games.
Sneaky coward!
Barton gets done by a Song. Song is a right disgrace.
Mmmmm, welcome back to english football son!
How the fuck is Song still on the field? Clearly stamped on Barton’s leg when he was on the ground. Cunt. Apparently the officials didn’t see it. Clear as day on the video though. Based on what happened to us last season, there’s surely grounds for the FA to review that. Unless the officials say they saw it and dealth with it. If they say they didn’t see it, then it’s reviewable. Right?
Balaji, Jonas also has skill and seems very tuned in to the game.
Obertan is not overawed at all, my main complaint about him at United. He is calm.
At least Wenger has been teaching them about the dark side. Cunts.
Song can’t say it was accidental either. He was clearly looking in that direction. Cunt.
Steven Taylor is one of the most under-rated central defenders in the Premier League.
Watch out for Wenger’s “Ai did not zee it.” comment today itself. That is how you recognize that Premier League football is well and truly back.
@FITB
As for the De Gea/Carroll comparison, what more needs to be said? The boy has been written off despite the fact that it’s fully understandable that he will struggle early in his United career. An even better comparison would be between Carrol and Berbatov. If Berbatov’s first 6 months at United had been as mediocre as Carroll’s at Liverpool, the press would have eaten him alive. Yet I don’t see any tabloids wondering how the hell this guy is worth 35 million.
@mykidscalledcantona
I see where you are getting at. And I agree mostly. When you look at the two finals against Barcelona, the difference in midfield was that we took Ando out of the 2nd match and played 4-4-2. That made things even worse. Imo we need midfielders that will hassle Barcelona’s midfield. Anderson and Fletcher are the ones that can do it from the current roster. In due time, maybe Tom will too. And if we need another midfielder, it has to be someone in the same mould, because you don’t know whether Fletcher will be available or not. As luck would have it, we played twice against Barca without him. And that was a major let off for them.
If this was a United-player he would’ve been banned by tomorrow.
@Balaji
Steven Taylor is also one of the most underrated actors out there. Have you seen his “heart attack” after he gave Villa a penalty once? Roberto DeNiro stuff right there.
FITB … I think it was a combination of things. The Barca preseason match wuld have been a part of it, but I think the second half of the shield match against Shitty would have been more significant to SAF. But like I said, it’s a combination of those performances, plus Sneijder’s demands. I am sure that if, for example, Giggs had retired as well as Scholes, and Cleverley had not played as well as he did in those matches, and the youth cupboard was not so impressive, that the boss might well be prepared to meet Sneijd’s demands. He might still be prepared to get him, if those demands were not so high. In other words, it’s relative: if Sneijder was to call and say, “Hey, I want to play for you guys so much, and I’m already stinking rich, so 100 grand a week is fine,” then I reckon Sir Alex would go for that. Why not? He’s a top-flight player and he would make a difference — just not enough of a difference to justify his current demands.
Obetan is doing well.
baron is a cunt
Costas … absolutely spot on about Berbatov/Carroll. It’s something more of our fans would do well to think about, too.
Is the wee-Barton clique watching?
Well done referee! Correct cards issued.
correction grade A cunt
Barton is a c*nt. Gevinho or whatever is a class a idiot.
Yeah, Barton has settled down these days…
On the other hand, Gervinho.
That Gervinho should be shot, don’t wait for dawn.
typo’s again. barton
Gervinho’s an Arse-player alright. How Wenger can bring all these light-headed cunts together under one-roof is beyond me?
Hahaha! It’s erupted!
All Barton did was lift the diving Gervinho to his feet. The commentators and half of the people on this site are biased against Barton. If he deserved red, then so did Rio when he lifted Torres.
God the crap we have to watch when United arn’t playing
20 hours, 46 minutes and 4 seconds
Barton was right to be upset about that stamp, but wrong to get involved with the other incident, and as for going down like he was mortally wounded, that’s just a joke.
Barton with a cracking goal attempt! Great try!
One of the reasons why I’ve always disliked Wenger is that next week he will be moaning about Stoke or Bolton’s players, completely ignoring his players’ disgraceful conduct today. Hypocrite.
@Stateside
Too late in the game for that to happen I am afraid mate. It’s not just Carroll. I said the same about the treatment Robinho got compared to Berba from the press. And he cost more than Berbatov.
smartalex, I don’t remember all the details of the Rio/Torres incident, but in this case, play had moved on and the ref obviously wasn’t falling for Gervinho’s play acting, so why not let it go? Whether it was a red or not, it was just plain silly to get involved.
Barton didn’t exactly hold Gervinho gently by the hand. He grabbed him by the shirt and kept grabbing after he got up, causing the whole mess. Can’t do that I am afraid.
Barton, a proud enforcer of the Stay On Your Feet Campaign.
Will be getting a text from Rio I would imagine.
Such a good lad, innit????!
Barton did exactly the right thing by dropping to the ground after being deliberately slapped in the face. He should not react violently to that, and definitely should not try to hide it from the ref by standing tall.
What a horrible time for the cable operators to have a fight with espnstar and remove the channels! FUCK! NO BPL MATCHES!
Got to get a new cable connection!
Costas, no way buddy! Barton did not cause the whole mess, you are biased. The mess was definitely started by the cheating Gervinho.
Costas – we have plenty of bite in the engine room, problem is they have not been fit in crucial times of the season. Could cleverly be the carrick replacement long term? we have seen guys like xavi play deep and carry the ball forward, maybe cleverly could do that. On carrol and berbatov comparison, what as carrol done? that’s the question. I bet carrol has barely got past 10 goals in a liverpool shirt, cannot remember the stats. carrol has been has woeful has torres in a chelsea shirt, yet very little pressure has been put on carrol, the excuse he has picked up a injury or 2.
Pretty tame stuff…not exactly a game full of goalmouth incident…Arsenal really do like to take the scenic route with little end product….
Roll on United’s game tomorrow.
If Barton will sign for Arsenal now?
@smartalex
Well, then like Stateside said, it’s up to the referee to straighten out the mess. Barton is not a ref is he? Players dive for penalties in most games. It rarely degenerates to that. It all depends on how you react as the innocent party.
StatesideAussie, you are focused on Barton, yet Gervinho was the main protagonist. He started it by cheating, then he attacked Barton for lifting him angrily, then he sneaked a slap in, around the corner. Instead of everyone writing abusive comment after abusive comment about Barton, submit a few about Gervinho.
Never mind the fuzz about the red and yellow card. Watcing Barton shoot and play I realise what quality we actually have in midfield!
Players like Balotelli and Barton would be on the plane somewhere years ago if managed by SAF.
On the basis of this match, and their pitiful transfer “activity” so far, this is going to be a long and very painful season for The Arse. And may I just say, it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of arseholes!
Costas, up to the referee to sort it out? Obviously.
Does blatant cheating anger everyone? Yes.
Was Barton a sneaky, cheating cunt? No! That was Gervinho.
smartalex – barton yet again has shown why he is a complete disgrace, like one arsenal fan said just now, he as had so many chances and he has thrown it in the faces of so many, it made me cringe we were linked to this thug who would poison the good spirit in the dressing room
smartalex … no, I’m not biting, mate. Taunt me all you like, but unless I see some puns very soon, I’m not biting
But seriously, if Barton carried on like that against us, you’d be leading the lynch mob. Wouldn’t you?
@smartalex
okay. gervinho is a fucking cunt
@smartalex
you betcha rio deserved a card. if that was a UCL game he would have been sent off. What are u on about?
hmmm . is it even smartalex?
fergie is the boss – You call Barton a disgrace for an incident that he was not the worst offender in. Perhaps your bias against him shows less grace than a little fair-minded and even-handed criticism would.
@smartalex
And just to add to your comment mate, did Barton lose the plot and almost caused his team to go down to 10 men? Yes.
Look, our players are not angels either, but at least I trust them to act professionaly on every situation and avoid getting into crappy situations. Can’t trust Barton to do the same.
0-0 away to Newcastle isn’t that bad. And Gervinho was positive up until the red card. Arsenal will be there this season as well. They have more quality than the dippers. They lack creativity, but have posession and controll on the ball.
Hey! What a game by Wes today! Wonderful to see that 1-1 ball!
Oberton and the toon take the Stealth United to another 2 points from a top 6 side. Well done to N’Castle. Still a bunch a freaking c*nts! Song must get a ban as well.
20 hours, 29 minutes and 45 seconds
Comeon U reds! Get behind your team!
@smartalex
how did gervinho cheat exactly? contact was minimal and he went down. Not cheating mate. Players p[lay to the rule as much as they can get a away with. Thats why he wasn’t carded for simulation. Ref knew there was some contact but not enough for a penalty, his call and he called it
taunt |tônt|
noun
a remark made in order to anger, wound, or provoke someone.
StatesideAussie – Is that how you see my complaint?
smartalex – I do hate the guy, maybe I am a little to hard towards him, but it comes to a point where you can see the guy has had one to many chances, if it was normal work and not football, no one would employ him with his track record
Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton Barton

Costas – Gervinho did cause his team to go down to 10 men. Barton did not.
So that should mean Gervinho and Song out of the OT game.
Oh sorry, I forgot. The FA won’t punish Song because he didn’t swear at the camera.
TTWD Spot on mate, But those lads would never be on the field in the first place. Still laughing at those on here that wanted Barton. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats up smartalex?
slim
Wrong.
Gervinho dived to win a penalty.
There’s no point arguing about Barton, Gervinho, or any of these no marks.
It’s early days, yes, but surely the important thing is that neither the Arse nor Liverpool have shown anything much for United to worry about.
Hey there CedarsDevil! All good, buddy! How are you, my friend?
@smartalex
Yeah, but that’s like saying Song didn’t do a thing wrong simply because Walton never saw the stamp on Barton. On another day, Barton could have seen red.
Costas. Gervinho won’t be there. Be surprised if Song gets a ban. Arsenal players never get bans. But you knew that as well! Barton, HHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! not in a billion years!
smartalex … it was an exaggerated prediction of how I thought you might respond. It was meant in jest. I think you and I have enjoyed and respected each other’s posts. For mine, it’s not worth putting that on the line over a someone who’s not even a United player, so I am just going to forget the whole discussion took place. Good day!
Costas, No, I disagree. The cards issued to Barton and Gervinho were correct, and based on the official’s view of the incident. The lack of action taken against Song was completely wrong, and was because the officials did not see it.
Too much energy used by fellow REDS on no bodies….. Must be start of the season syndrome, all guns loaded and ready to fire!
Save it for tomorrow lads, the champions will laying down the marker and scaring the fuck out of our rivals………..
C’MON UNITED
smartalex – I am well my friend, all is good…… Cannot wait for our kick off
Hemiroids suck.
Costas, … further, I never said that Barton was blameless, I said he deserved yellow.
Cedars I bow to you as well I did for Costas earlier, SAF said we are set. Then set we are, quest for 20 starts tomorrow.
StatesideAussie – Thank you for advising me that you were joking. I presume therefore that you do not take umbrage to any of my comments. Am I right? We wouldn’t want 2 miscommunications in a row, would we?
Zibbie – A doughnut shaped cushion really helps
I personally think don’t think we should be really critical of Gervinho, if we are not going to display the same level of criticism when one of our own players does the same thing. Gervinho’s dive was bad, but it is a commonplace in today’s game, and unless officials take note, nothing is going to change.
As for the incident, people are going to take lightly to someone like Rio lifting them up as opposed to Barton. It is a plain truth of the game. Because of Barton’s reputation, if he is going to be lifting players up with their shirts, then opponents are going to misconstrue it as an act of aggression. Gervinho’s hand to the face was a Red, but he was provoked. Technically, an Yellow to both sides would’ve been fair in my opinion.
slim – Does your view of the ref’s actions as “his call and he called it” also extend to Barton only getting yellow, and Gervinho getting red?
Balaji – Make your mind up, do you think don’t think?
Slapping someone in the face is and always should be a red card.
@CedarsDevil, LOL! I’ve been hanging out on ROM too much buddy.
We should start a “Typo Clique”.
@FletchTHEMAN
Song won’t be banned. The FA hear enough moaning from Wenger each week as it is! Next week checkout Wenger’s reaction the minute an opposing player dives to win a penalty or stamps one of his players…
@FITB
Sorry mate, forgot to answer. Carroll’s stats are actually 2 goals in 7 games in all competitions. It took him a while to get fit. Obviously some will say that 35 million is good business because he’s one for the future, but the impression I get is that he’s a glorified Duncan Ferguson, lol.
I say who cares – Brilliant start to the season long may it continue and we haven’t even started yet
What gives with the thuggery from Arsenal did Arsene instruct Song and Gervinho to beat up Joey Barton that’s terrible and why is Wenger not playing our future player again that’s terrible and to top of a terrible day it looks like both his thugs wont be playing against United and that saddens me.no end.
Balaji – Hahahahaha, 2 straight entries into that clique, Costas and me….. Actually I think I would be chairman by default !!
@smartalex
sure it does. doesn’t detract from the fact that barton is still a Cunt
At least we ain’t talking about Sneijder.
MG – You put it nicely my good friend, I was thinking along the lines of who gives a fuck!
If its not United then personally I do not care, fuck em all!
Paul Wilson of the Guardian was at St James Park:
“Gervinho was lying on the floor attempting to make a meal of a hefty but fair challenge by Cheick Tioté when Joey Barton came across to tell him to get on with the game. Gervinho took offence, a scuffle turned into a melee, and amid all the handbags the Ivorian connected with a girly slap to Barton’s temple.”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/aug/13/newcastle-united-arsenal-premier-league
slim – I agree with you totally. Barton is a cunt.
He was not a cunt in today’s game against Arsenal.
An out-of-control Barton.
An Arsenal player showing his dark side and getting away with it.
A Gunner diving for dear life.
Wenger moaning on the touchlines.
Liverpool bottling it.
A newly-promoted side getting a hard-fought point while another is routed.
All clear signs that the BPL – World’s Best Football League – is surely back. And we’re not even through the first week of action yet. God, it is so great to see football back. I even deleted my porn collection.
Did I call it or what ! 19:17
Rio just tweeted that Garvinho needed a Stay on your feet T!!!
rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand
Watched NUFC vs AFC+I think a #stayonyourfeet t-shirt needs sending out! The game is better off with no diving,sadly a part of our game now.
Also Dan Walsh figures Darron Gibson and Mame Biram Diouf are off on load to Blackburn.
Woaah… This was Republik of Mancunia when I last checked!!
http://www.studs-up.com/
Rio better focus on making sure every WBA player stays on their feet tomorrow and he doesn’t give away another penalty like he did last year.
Cedars finally we agree on something – fuck em all!
(No mention of Sneijder though okay?)
FletchTHEMAN – Do I understand Rio correctly? Is he saying that Gervinho was cheating?
@smartalex
He dint mention Gerv. just the cut-out-diving sermon.
RedRider, in the absence of united news, we are all just enjoying le arse and the dippers dropping points. Hope we have forgot about all that when we do the baggies. If we win by >5 then we are top of the league!
Gibson and Diouf will boost Blackburn’s chances of staying up. This displeases me.
MG – We will always agree on our devotion and unconditional love for UNITED
redrider – thanks mate! I wonder who he could have been referring to. Gervinho, I guess.
I think that cheating is unacceptable, especially from our players. I don’t like players showing their anger, but I absolutely understand that cheating does upset sportsmen. To me, I would much rather have Barton as a friend than have a cheating, backstabbing sneak as a friend.
@Fletch
Yeah… Can’t wait till tomorrow.
And, to be honest, I’d have done the exact same thing Barton did today. Without the hands.
Rio getting it by large from goons… lol.
Fred, have Gibson and Diouf moved to Blackburn? Is it a loan deal?
Cedars
Hear hear
or is it here here?
Somehow I have a hard time believing the Gibson-Diouf rumor. Gibson is into the last 12 months of his contract. Wouldn’t make sense to send him out on loan. As for Diouf, the boss said he’d keep all 7 strikers didn’t he?
Fergie on Obertan, Bebe, loan deals and other signings:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Zs8hFKjNo&feature=player_embedded
smartalex
totally agree. A high intensity game needs just one moment of idiocy from eggs like Mr Big Forehead there to piss off anyone playing.
first game in a new league and he tries to do this. Class act.
@smartalex, I would rather have neither as my friend. Thank you very much.
In all seriousness, I hate play-acting. Diving is bad, but I think some managers themselves advocate players to go down at the slightest touch. Sure somebody like a Keano would frown at it, and I personally hate it, but I accept that it has become part of the game and there is nothing to be done about it. However, play-acting is what is ruining the game. For people that think there is no difference between the two, think again. Barcelona, Real Madrid, some Gunners, Torres, Drogba etc. are play-acters. Ronaldo, Nani – I can’t think of many other examples – are divers. I think play-acters should get bans after reviewing through replays. They are a disgrace to football.
MG – I could never tell to be honest, hear hear or here here!
Fred, Actually think part of Fergies plan is to but our lads with teams that are in a fight for the drop. Part of the UnitedProtocolTM with it’s tenets of the game. First tenet is to put our players about the league where they will be most likely to take points off our rivals. As we saw today with Sunderland (aka United B). But putting lads with teams that a fighting the drop is beautiful. They will have to fight their entire life to stay in it, just as United has to fight for every point to be top in May.
The United ProtocolTM Chapter X, the stealth united!
smartalex, Cheers mate. Rio would never say that……………… well directly!
redrider – “Mr Big Forehead” Ha Ha ha! He looks like a plastic doll!
MG – I guess you are joking, but just in case, the call is “Hear! Hear!”
@smartalex
at this point lets just say we disagree to agree. he was a Cunt
Balaji Sivaraman
what a waste of porn. shame on you
@slim
That he was.
FletchTHEMAN, yeah, Rio is surely mature enough to stop himself from actually accusing anyone directly, as he’d attract the unwelcome counter-accusations that any ABU could muster.
I think that the PFA should privately adjudicate these incidents, for blatant cheating destroys careers and unjustly rewards the cheats. Easier said than done, I suppose.
@smartalex
sorry meant agree to disagree.
Balaji – I’d also rather have neither. Still, deceit is worse than anger, in my book.
Slim – I like that! We disagree, to agree!
@ Cedars and Balaji..
hope you guys doing great..
at last good to be back with football action..
some superb games, but the best of the lot will kick off on sunday..
about the Barton thing.. fucking he was stamped..
with him playing rugby with Gervinho and Gervinho giving him a girly slap..
what would ref go for? the controversial English player or a foreign debutant? he would surely go for the foreign debutant, though it was correct in this case..
a slap is a straight red..a shirt pulling is a yellow or red..
with all the players, Barton got stamped, wrong player and wrong time…glad that he controlled his temper for first 60 minutes
Gary Cahill with a stunner, that lad has given me 10 massive points in fantasy premier league
so much looking forward to our game -p ando, vida, wazza in my fantasy team
the title defence begins today and we were never so confident going in to a pre season..
this is the season where we will dominate completely unlike the last one in away games..
roll out the carpet, the red brigade is marching on n on n on..
UNITED
slim – well then I take it back! I preferred your typo to the correction!
sandeep1878
Hello my friend, hope you are well too………. Like you I cannot wait for tomorrow
@smartalex
yeah i bet you do, smart ass. lol
Me joking smartalex?
I reckon it should be here hear – best of both worlds and all Cedars
I\ve never known laughter
Is it contagious?
MG – Hear here it is then!
MG – jokes are only contagious if you catch them!
Laughing, on the other hand, spreads like wildfire.
Rooney prefers hair here, and here, and also there.
By buy.
Costas – the problem is, will he be given the time to get fit, has he is terribly injury prone. You look at the type of player he is, for one he is a poor man’s shearer.
2 lets look at his other attributes
- he has very little pace so its difficult for liverpool to play him on the shoulders, so he is going to get in behind defences
- with no pace he is not a second striker, has he has not got the technical attributes, or the talent for the no 10 position
His only real attribute is his physical strength, he is a long ball player, meaning liverpool’s style is very old fashion. And as we have seen today, this style has caught them cold
@ CD,
i m great as well my friend..
Heard Gibbo and Diuof will be loaned out?
Keeping Gibbo is a problem, one way or the other..
i m sure with the rise of Cleverly, Gibbo will further go down the pecking order and i dont want his national coach bragging he should be started so he should quit UNITED..
its a complex situation this Gibbo one.. i m gutted to see him with us and i m gutted to see him go..
If you smile 90 seconds or so, chemicals of euphoric bliss are released in our brains. Smile a while, it will dispel the bile. Repress the depressed. To be gruntled, is dissing nobody.
Big plastic donuts……..
Sept. 1st here here.
@ Zibbie.. are u on a high?
I’m all alone on my donut.
also (Costas) you look at this liverpool side, they are not only a poor man’s united outfit, but you look at their players, they got a collection of some of the most technically woeful players out of the top 6, Carragher Flanagan lucas henderson adams downing carrol WOW, this is what scousers are trying to say the king has got it over the godfather. It seems to me, kenny has a boner for hardworkers over creativity, liverpool seem to have gone for quantity not quality, and the sad thing is gerrard is still their most creative player LOOOOOLLLL
Cedars
Hear here!
And smartalex
Mate:
Catch and on fire respectively
Lovely to be Red – amongst Reds – and waiting for the Reds to get going tomorrow.
Come on United!!!
I think Zibbie needs doughnuts
Thinking about I would like to eat some doughnuts too!
Zibbie – Resist bouncing
Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh. Oo-oo-ooh! Oo-oo-ooh.
Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire: gonna get burn. (catch a fire) Wo, now!
Ev’rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the very souls.
Today they say that we are free,
Only to be chained in poverty.
Good God, I think it’s illiteracy;
It’s only a machine that makes money.
Slave driver, the table is turn, y’all. Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh.
@FITB
I agree about Carroll’s style of play and I think that’s why Adam was bought to be honest. For his long balls. It’s a very weird squad. And their trasnfer policy has also been weird. Carroll and Suarz couldn’t be any more different as players. They bought Adam even thought they already have Henderson, Lucas, Meireles and Gerrard. But worst of all, I don’t know how much better they are quality wise this season. The only player in that team that really worries me nowdays is Suarez. As for the rest, like you said, I think Dalglish is gambling on physicality more than talent. Still stuck on the 80s, lol.
If Barton hadn’t have done that there would literally be no highlights. He’s an entertainer. Song should have been off before it anyway, if the referre saw that then the Gervinho incident wouldn’t have happened. If it was Rooney who stamped on Barton the media would be going fucking skitzo right about now. Everything Savage said after the match was spot on.
Costas – you hit the nail right on the head, today we saw 2 sides with 2 completely different styles of play in arsenal and liverpool, but they both miss things that makes sides more complete
Arsenal – they can keep the ball, but they lack the cutting edge upfront, and out wide. The sad thing with arsenal is, they no longer have that great midfielder they once had. And no matter how well they keep the ball, there is so many holes in their first team, they no longer have a spine.
liverpool – they have a spine, they work hard can play high tempo, what they lack is players who keep the ball and create for the strikers, there is way to many miss matches in their squad, and signing adams henderson and even carrol in jan still for me makes no sense
I wish I were joking time to shit again with razor blades shooting out my ass…….
Doughnuts and coffee please.
Hi there looters!
Shit day of football by all accounts and already two so called contenders shown the door.
Arsenal are witless, with Rosicky, Arshavin, Walcott and Gervino looking like jack of all trades master of non. A lazy Van Persie and a clueless thug in Song there is no way Arsenal can get into the top 4 without Fabregas. Arsenals best players beyond the defensive line are Ramsey and Wilshire I think thats clear but with 6ft between them they wont be musceling anyone about this year.
Liverpool are the news papers team, full of twonks that can do the odd good thing but their general play, intelligence and possitioning is woeful. The media boys in Downing, Adam(s), Henderson and soo to be reunited with the biggest missfit this country has seen in Gerrard I cant really see a top 6 finish for the pool.
I really believe that the top 3 will be United, Chelsea and City in that order and the fourth team will possibly be a surprise because when it becomes strikingly apparent that Liverpool and Arsenal arent up for it other teams may not be so wary against them and start to play in desperation to make the 4th spot. Spurs in my eyes the most likely just because theyve held their team pretty much together and there is something to be said about consistency and continuity.
1 : United
2 : Arsenal
3/4 Chelsea/City
5 : Spurs
6 : Sunderland
What say you to that, Goat me old buddy?
Yes, you may call me names!
“I’m very pleased with the way pre-season has gone,” the Manchester United manager said before Sunday’s trip to West Brom, an away game on a Sunday being a far cry from the 3pm Saturday start with which the traditionalist in Ferguson believes champions ought to kick off a new campaign. “The great benefit of bringing in a few new young players is that they bring their enthusiasm and hunger into training. The training sessions have been fantastic and I always say that what you see in training comes through in the way you play in games. You could see that quite clearly at Wembley last week. I know it was only the Community Shield but Manchester City weren’t as fit as we were, they didn’t have the same intensity. I’m not saying we can keep that up all season, but when you start with a hard run of games, as we do, you have to make sure you are as well prepared as possible. The fitness of the players at the moment is excellent.”

Police were called to anfield today after wes brown left the stadium with 35 million in his back pocket.
‘David Platt rang asking if we could provide a player to help with the England training at Slough. Ashley Young was a non-contract player with us, but he was bright about the game so I drove him down. They gave him an England strip and he played in an 11-v-11 game. I have to be honest, he really didn’t look out of place. He arrived at the session as just a lad making up the numbers but he left as someone we knew might have a real future in the game.’
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2025684/Why-Manchester-United-manager-Sir-Alex-Ferguson-bought-18m-Ashley-Young.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
This Daily Mail article is well worth a read.
@smartalex. Great article about Ashley Young. Well worth the read.
You twitering lads should check out Phil Jones posts. Love his avitar. Proper Red god? Well he looks the part. @Ph1lj0nes

Keano99, Guess it’s getting late mate. Just hit me. Ha ha, very very good that!
@FletchTHEMAN. It was a great read. It is interesting to note about Young:
- ‘he was a diminutive 16-year-old struggling to win a full-time contract at Watford’
- ‘Watford’s academy chief at the time, David Dodds, was aware of Young’s football brain but uncertain his frail physique would allow him to be a full-time professional.
- ‘Dodds reveals, however, that Young’s slender frame meant he played in a number of different positions at the Watford academy – discovering a versatility that is going to be crucial’
- Even then, Ashley would play wide right, wide left or behind a striker where he could find pockets of space. There was no great secret or masterplan to it, we just put him in positions where he wouldn’t get physically knocked around because he was so small and slight.
‘He had a bright football brain but although he was 16, he was physically like a 14-year-old.
‘After that England training session, he started to become more effective for our Under-17s, he played like we see some of the Spanish boys, Xavi and Iniesta.
Consider those comments with Sir Alex’s recent revelations that Cleverley was considered likely to be too small, not signed up, and advised to continue school:
- ‘Scouts and coaches have considered his diminutive stature – he is 5ft 9in – to be an impediment and United’s doubts were never more evident than six years ago when Cleverley was asked to split his time between the club and two more years of school, while other United Academy scholars went into full-time training.’
- Yesterday SAF said “We sent out Cleverley (on loan), for instance, because of his physique. He was making slower progress and needed games for his development and confidence, but we were always going to bring him back.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –
Add to this the fact that we released JOS and Wes despite having just lost Gary, Paul and Edwin. To me this says that we are revolutionising the way we play. A metamorphosis has started.
I enjoyed seeing wes brown dominate the Sunderland defence. Keep it up Wesley!
Now to shit into the baggies
evening reds,don’y trust Mccarthy,seems to embellish his accent for effect.Just like to say WS is a rentboy twat who belongs at city or chelsea.not good enough to wear the shirt.
Just in case things get worked out,welcome aboard lad,rate you one of the best in the world.
This article by Gary Neville! Yes, that’s our RedNev!
Those fans who criticise Wenger should be careful what they wish for
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2025700/Gary-Neville-Arsenal-fans-shouldnt-criticise-Arsene-Wenger.html
Another quote from ^ link at 0:46
‘In the last six years, it’s been clear that Arsenal have not been able to spend huge amounts on the team because they’ve invested £390million in a stadium to set themselves up for the next 60 years, not for the next six years. They’ve invested in the infrastructure of the club and it’s a sustainable model. That’s why in 50 years’ time, Arsenal will still be a great football club.’
That article by RedNev is excellent!
Good evening wayne. I’ve been holding back my criticism, just in case Wes signs!
You’ve covered yourself well at 0:45.
Lindegaard, snapped up from Aalesunds FK for £3.5m last January, has impressed in pre-season.
“I’m proud to have created a debate over the goalkeeper position, and over what journalists thought was a certainty David would play,” he said. “I knew this pre-season was going to be the most important in my Manchester United career and going on the trip to America was the real test. I felt I did well and I feel my pre-season has been close to perfection. I’m very optimistic. But if the manager decides on De Gea, it’s not going to be the end of the world for me. I will be very disappointed and any athlete in a similar position would be the same. But I will always respect his decision.”

couple of quotes from this article from SAF, its clear as day the young uns are gonna get a chance, especially Pogba. TC is most definitely penciled in. Maybe Tunni coming back in Jan or Morrison? Either way looks like a chance or two for a young player to step it up. They’ve been waiting for a chance and now its here. Hope they grab it with both hands and feet. Hell clasp the chance in their jaws as well if possible
G. Nev has a second career going.
G. Nev VS ABU CUNTS!
the nev article is good,i’ve always said imo Wenger 2nd best manager in the world,we have no idea what kind of restraints he’s been under,he’s always tried to play football and not resort to the italian way.
To the horror of most i think he’d be a good replacement for Sir Alex
OK my 1st Man Utd love, Roy Keane, then Rooney, now a man crush for the twins.
Jones could steel my heart, love the way he takes the game from them and to them.
@wayne, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
I agree that it seems deluded, but actually it isn’t. If a player wants glory, love and prestige; he should join United. If a player puts big money from a shit club before all else, he’s a mercenary cunt and we don’t want him
Zibbie you slut!
I think this westbrom won’t be easy at all, i’m hoping foster doesn’t come back and haunt us, hoping we can be solid at the back while also being ruthless enough up front, we have to control the midfield.I think this westbrom won’t be easy at all, i’m hoping foster doesn’t come back and haunt us, hoping we can be solid at the back while also being ruthless enough up front, we have to control the midfield.
Samuel – united WE stand
It’s not likely to be easy, unless Ben makes a cock-up early!
I started watching the BEPL when the Gunners had the no loss season.
Berkamp and Piers I liked, AW has all my respect. It took me like 2 weeks to cheer for Man Utd. I loved Keane from the Rep. of Ireland team.
G. Nev knows there is no such thing as a winning entitlement. Winning is earned.
I know it’s not going to happen but………
1. United
2. Sunderland
3. Wigan
4. Bolton
5. Norwich
6. Stoke
7. QPR
8. West Brom.

…….Wouldn’t that be a wonderful world?
@smartalex you’re right mate it’s not being deluded it’s a truism
I’m am, I know and I just can’t help myself. People can not sleep like the night before Foot-Mas.
I’m far too excited to sleep. Come on United!
@Samuel, there are no easy away wins in the BEPL, one of many reasons it is the most watched sporting league in the world, with a 49 year old fat guy from Dubuque Iowa who learned to get on the computer and all that entails to learn more of this great game and SAF’S Man Utd team. SAF has already warned them it is easy t5o get up for the Bitters in the Shield, a pro plays just as hard away to WB.
Competition for spots is the key to a good team in all of sport’s, and Man Utd have that in spades.
FIGHT FOR 20 HAS STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I know it is not the 1st yet, however Man Utd made 5 offer’s or bids and got 3 right? All the other stuff was talk? Varane and Nasri were not completed and the 3 Man Utd got? Can we know? Does it come out latter? I need a swim and will check in until 2:47 am CMT.
Never rated foster much,his hype came from him being a utd player,not ability.Didn’t have the mental bottle to succeed at utd.
Don’t worry about him showing up doesn’t have it in him,otherwise he’d still be playing for us
@Zibbie
2nd swim you’ve had today. Something in the water? Young things in bikini’s maybe. lol.
Smart-alex – i agree brom do play some free flowing football, they gave us a torrid time last season so i think this match would show if we’ve worked well on our away form, hope for a good result tomorrow.Smart-alex – i agree brom do play some free flowing football, they gave us a torrid time last season so i think this match would show if we’ve worked well on our away form, hope for a good result tomorrow.
I think we genuinely wanted varane and with naseri, we made an enquiry into the possibility of arshenal negotiating with the champions. We probably made a starting bid of £20m but I reckon whinger would rather strengthen city being their official feeder club rather than making the gap between us the champions and the other pathetic pretenders even wider.
Zibbie – totally agree, this season will be long slug, with emotions fluctuating from up to down, lets hope it ends on a high.
As for foster, i remember him playing a blinder against chelsa for birmingham so im wary but hopefully we’ll come through.
Samuel – united WE stand
Our away form was not much short of dreadful last season, so i guess we’re all hoping/praying for an improvement this season. We often start badly in the Premiership, but this year we seem to be well on the way after a successful pre-season. Sir Alex has said that one of the advantages of bringing in youth is their absolute desire right from the off, and that this also rubs off on the older players. They do not want to be left out at the expense of the youngsters.
There are no easy games, although the weak teams (QPR?) can fall apart when the opposition seem too strong. We actually have to win tomorrow, as we will quickly fall behind in the table if we’re not careful. I’d like to see our strongest line-up, and want us to go for the jugular.
@slim your right, some friends over my lady is here and her daughter has some friends as well, hehehehe, it was 77 sunny with low to no humidity and a breeze. Now after a beautiful sunset with colors only nature can provide. I just got a big fire going poolside and took a look at RoM after I changed the music. Life is good, live today for tomorrow is not promised to anyone. I love the water and dive into the pool 3,4,5 times a day. Helps my ass when it’s on fire. hehehehe
Man Utd 3-1 win and look good doing it. After a bright start from WB Man Utd’s pressure pays off late as a good team does.
OK the 20 year old,s changed the music back. Oh well I had the the 1st side to Zep II…… they started dancing bbl.
Well I would have thought more late night stuff, 10 hours 2 min.
hahahahahaha

AND BAM AT 10 THE FUCKING GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE SEASON IS HERE-E, HERE-E THE GAME IS ABOUT TO START!!!!!!! 9 HOURS 58 MIN. !!!!
De Gea
———– Smalling Rio Vidic Evra
——– Nani Anderson TomC Young
Rooney Wellbeck or Berba
Rooney a Goal an assist and a yellow, a Wazza hat trick
Man Utd win 3-1
Nani does some fucking thing of disbelief, in a good way.
Young delivers a set piece assist to the Captains head.
And a midfielder scores.
De Gea plays well and all is swell.
COME ON STOKE !!!!!!!!!!
GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our Premier League record when the first game is away from home: 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Won’t be an easy game this.
It’s here, finally. What a long summer of shit talk from everyone. Let’s kick off in style like last wk. Come on utd.
I was listening to Sir Alexs’ press conference last night and he said it’s time to give Pogba his first team chance. To quote, “I mean if we hold Pogba back, what’s going to happen? He’s going to leave. You know, in a couple of years’ time when his contract is going to finish. So we have to give him the opportunity to see how he can do in the first-team and he’s got great ability, plus he’s got the physique and athleticism.”
So in Cleverly and Pogba there are our two new midfield additions. I always felt we needed one more CM before the end of August and now that I’ve heard the comments on Pogba that will do me just fine. As I’ve said before there’s no better feeling as a fan than to see a youngster break into the first team. So end all this Sneijder nonsense and concentrate on the players we do have, football is not played on a piece of paper.
Can’t wait for 4 o’clock. I’d like to see Cleverly start. Throw him into an away premier league game and see how he gets on. I think we’ll find come the end of the season that West Brom away could be one of the toughest away games so an opening day fixture could well be the right time to go there.
