Ji-Sung Park has scored against Arsenal, AC Milan and Liverpool this season.
Not too shabby for a lad we signed just to sell shirts in the Far East…..
[edit]“I didn’t think that (Park was bought just to sell shirts),” said Ferguson. “When I went to see him play in those Champions League semi-finals for PSV Eindhoven in 2005 I thought this is a player who understands football. He is intelligent and disciplined and he can play different positions. I had no issues about that at all. Someone is always going to take a runner on something like selling shirts. But you could say that about every player we have signed.” [/edit]
Man Utd News 24/7
This guy is seriously underated
I think he will be rested next match, with Berbatov and Giggs to come in
Chelsea are an embarassement
We would be 10pts clear now if it werent for the freak injuries to our whole defence
you little beauty…. lotsa t-shirts gonna get sold… and with good reason……. c’mon UNITED……..
Nothing Shabby about his game today.
Bring on chelski!!!!!!
@sayyid
Don’t you think people say he is under-rated an awful lot? If so, doesn’t that mean he actually is rated?!
I don’t think anyone under-rates Park. We all know his qualities and pundits, managers and players always praise him. It’s no surprise when he plays well. He is a class act and especially under Ferguson who deploys him perfectly. Not a United legend, but a United great for sure.
He missed with two header before heading in that beauty. 3rd times the charm, eh?
easypeacy southkorease
Selling shirts is just a bonus, haha. And after this, the shirt sales are gonna sky rocket~!
Well while Rooney probably would’ve buried the first header, he did well to even get his head to the second – he had to out-jump Agger. It looked like a tap-in but he timed his run perfectly.
fantastic today all match. and you know, a bigger man probably would not have been able to get that low to get his head to the ball. the Scottish captain to the Korean captain…brilliant
The game today was a WALK in the PARK.
A big game player.
He hated the red scum almost as much as Rednev…..our most improved player of the year by far….3 lungs? fuck me can he run……. absolutey brilliant….
Park the great asia player!
Yer a cunt Scott, and a wind up merchant. lmao. the boy is on his @ss too much but pure Andygrayish, take that puddle, kick me in the puss…….. in the Onion bag. game over
Believe On On ON
19 is a number which is now sounding very realistic and pleasing to my ears
Rent boys and Shitty the crucial games , oh yes liverfools busted by a scouser and the dog eater 
As Asian, I’m really proud for Park.
And I hope in the next match he will be better and better
He is a perfect example, along with Fletcher, of an ultimate big game player.
Has JS PARK scored a more important goal for us than this? I’ve been saying this for quite some time now. That fans have been complaining that we lack a creative midfield maestro. I’m of the opinion that that creative player is JSP; he who has 3 lungs & can play anywhere on the pitch. I’m park biggest fan. Not bcoz he’s fly, but due to his playing style. He kinda plays almost like Christiano with his zigzag running, astute passing ,positional awareness of his colleagues & most importantly his fluency during a counter attack. And i still believe that we’re yet to see the best from our price asset. You can even see that even Wazaa enjoys playing with Park just behind him in attack or alongside him. It’s not for commercial purposes that JSP is s.korea’s captain. It’s with performances like this that one earns legendary status. This is 1 goal we shall look at the end of the season as a tittle-winning goal; just like Kiko’s goal against Villa last year.
Last lad who scores this season deserves the number 19 shirt
I just love this guy, from long time, he is such a great player.
he plays as a professional player, I think we didn’t give him the chance to show us that the past seasons.
JSP was brilliance in attacking midfield role…we have our answer now for this position
fletch n carrick played really well keeping stevie me quite all game. everyones praising park,wazza n fletch but carrick was instrumental in the midfield today. his passing,tackling and vision was great.
Give him the freedom of Manchester.
im sorry, but carrick was poor in his passing, very poor. Fletch MoM
It is going to be such a nervy finish to the season….we have many tough games ahead…bolton, sunderland and blackburn away, man city away, tottenham, chelsea and lastly stoke at home…
chelsea plays away to pompey on wednesday…
If birmingham can beat arsenal at home next saturday and villa can at least draw chelsea at the bridge, then our game away at bolton could be a huge deal….but even if all this happens, it still does not guarantee us anything…what a tough finish!!!
One step at a time, liverpool, check them off the list, on to Bolton!!!!
As a united fan in singapore i went mental when park scored that goal to give us the win. Superb cross from fletch but a lesser man would never have met the ball, and boot, head first.
Feel so proud to be a united fan, can finally return the stick to all those dippers in college. And hell yea park can run
As someone who’s slagged him here in the past – I take some of it back. Think SAF was trying to take him off when he scored though, because whilst he’d seen quite a bit of the ball, he hadn’t always done great things with it. Fair play though, he’s a real trier, which people always like.
Park was brilliant as usual. Only a muppet can claim that Park doesn’t earn every single minute on the pitch. If you think this is anything new from the lad, then go watch PSV Eindhoven vs. AC Milan in the CL Semis i think, the season before he joined United. Park may not be the biggest lad but in terms of spirit and tenacity few can compete with him. He had Maldini, Stam, Nesta, Gattuso et al running scared.
As for Fletch, I am ashamed to have ever doubted him. If there is another player in world football more worthy of being Roy Keane’s successor then I would be astonished. Essien might be a more powerful beast, but in terms of inspirational leadership, determination, pride and passion for the shirt… he comes from a long line of midfield dynamos in Roy Keane, Bryan Robson and Nobby Stiles. Rooney’s a great player but eff me I can only drool at the prospect of Fletcher getting the captaincy after Red Nev. The lad’s going to feel ten feet tall and become a perfect midfield monster. Watch him put that little c*nt Mascherano in his place.
Ji un-Sung Park does it again. He is so underrated its unbelievable
It must have been all that cocker spaniel meat…..
I have followed United for 15 years and I have never seen a bigger overachiever than Ji. Is he tall? No. Does he have Roanldo’s skills? No. Does he have Giggs’ pace? No? But he is a real trooper for Man United. Fergie must love this guy and rightfully so.
PARK spelled backwards is KRAP…
And what do you know, but that goal might just be the one to send Rafa packing!
Park is a fighter who puts in 100% everytime….Uniteds history is built on players like that
I’ll admit I’ve slagged off Park in the past. But fuck I’m happy to eat my words now. He really does put in a shift every time he plays, and suddenly he’s decided to score loads of important goals. Well done Park, eat as many dogs as ya like mate.
Just got back from the game. The atmosphere was amazing.
The game itself was probably lower than expected in quality but so many other things made up for it!
Those Green and Gold scarves came out when Park scored. Just lost for words really and I have almost lost my voice. Brilliant day getting one over on the dippers which was only made better by Chelsea drawing with Blackburn. Who thought they would do that?!
Entrance E37 Section E239 in case anyone sits nearby!
@Costas
Watch out the fascists don’t put a £50 million bid in for Park and Fletcher.
So they can do all the donkey work while Ronnie takes all the plaudits!
crucial win on the day chelski drew……….one hand on the trophy now. Sir Alex and players like giggsy, scholesly and red nev won’t let us lose it from here.
Park’s like having an extra half a player, he stifled Liverpool’s midfield and still had the stamina and intelligence to get up into the box for a header. I think we all agree he’s not exceptionally skillful but he is wonderfully intelligent and superbly hard working, thats why the manager trusts him in big games. He probably should have had a goal with the earlier header but what a brave dive to get his goal ! he actually bled for united today….can’t ask for more.
frankly speaking, it wasn`t good game for him up to 60th minute. too much lost balls, slow, not really in the game. on the other hand, the goal changed it for him and then he played well. it was brave from him to jump there for the header
I’ve park on the back of my black away jersey and it’s got nothing to do with the land he was born to. It’s down to this man been our new Denis Irwin , never rated by other team fans never ablr to handle by other tam players. 4 points ill say ot now 2 wina in a row and Its 19 in the bag
Ahhh i can’ t stop it all day long and for the week Park, Park wherever you may be you it dogs in your own country it could be worse you could be a scouse fucking raffas ass in your house. Park Park……………………………………………………………….
lets win at bolton, then think about the next game…..
sure thats what fergie will be saying……………………………….but we can dream 19
@AlphaRS
Nah, they are too stupid to go for players like that. Let them buy the Benzemas and Kakas of this world and play with Pepe and Albiol at the back. Oh and with Lassana Diarra in midfield.
Thanks for the update about the ground. OT has lived some fantastic moments in the past 12 months. Kiko’s winner, the comeback against Spurs, the draw against Arsenal that made us champions, Owen’s winner v City, Rooney’s winner against City and now this. Damn I wish I was inside just for one of these moments!
Apparently Rooney left Old Trafford limping.
Jason Park.
Yip.
Apparently Rooney left Old Trafford limping. Hope it’s nothing serious, and he’ll be fine for Bolton.
@Costas
The fascists haven’t got a clue about how to build a team with the correct balance of players.
I was there to watch Kiko’s winner against Villa, and Owen’s winner against City. They are some of the moments I will cherish for the rest of my life. Hopefully their will be many more to come.
Still feeling very nervious as rent boyz are still in a position where if they win all their games they will win the league. The same applies to us. It’s still so tight at the top of the league!
Park has the Manchester attitude that always makes united fans respect him. 2 wina in a row People
Liverpoo tried to PARK the bus and it backfired.
@AlphaRS
Yeah that’s true about Chelsea. Portsmouth showed yesterday that they are still playing for their pride, so they could cause Chelsea 1-2 problems on Wednesday. But the most important thing now is winning the next 4. GHTT says next 2, I say next 4.
@Molly’s Chambers
Is that right? I thought I saw him limping a bit during the game. Good thing we have 6 days until Bolton. Hopefully he will be fine by then.
Park has always been a sort of consistent performer – but now that he has added goalscoring to his game, he is getting noticed a lot more.
Costa mate 2 wins in a row would put united 7 points in front rent boys game in hand. come on arsenal for runner up
@GHTT
We will have the same amount of games after Wednesday mate. They are going to Portsmouth. And next Saturday they host Villa at 15:00 while we play at Bolton at 17:30. I don’t know how the table will look after these 3 games, but there is a very good chance that a loss at OT will be the end of them.
Can’t believe there’s a comment on here praising Carrick. I felt he was poor today, little in the way of tackles, created nothing and on a number of occasions gave the ball away cheaply. I hope I am missing something serious but quite frankly I think he is the man to change in our team, he is neither a defensive or offensive midfielder and adds very little most of the time, he slows the pace down too much and although I am happy to hear otherwise I would love to see him dropped like a stone. Overrated and underdelivers far too often.
i cant stop laughing ha ha ha ha
pompey will lie down to chelsea no doubt with their Avram grant connection
Electric at OT today. A fucking HUGE result and make no mistake. Chav’s choking as I fully expected. Vidic was fucking top drawer today, Park and Rooney excellent but Fletcher was absolutely outstanding. I reiterate. THE best box to box midfielder in England by a distance.
Gerrard was fucking woeful.
A great result and I will report later.
Oh costa mate I taught the pompy game was Wednesday week.
jespermoses – No I don’t think they will mate, Grant has a score to settle. They are playing for pride now and certainly gave it their all the last ten minutes yesterday.
Scott is is your birthday per chance? I noticed on the electronic thing “happy birthday to Scott the Red”!!!!
Park was class again today but what a ball from the football genious to set him up! I am just made up we beat the scouse cunts!
Park has always done the donkey work and run his socks off for the Club, like Rooney since Ronnie has left he is now doing all the off ball running and chasing that Roo did previously. I still think he should score more goals but now he is playing further up the park(no pun intended) that will come.
Gary Neville put a big ? in Capellos mind by not reading what was a quality ball by Kuyp to Torres and a quality finish by him. Its the little things that tend to win the matchs, the bounce of the ball, the unseen foul and Utd tend to get those in their favour in their winning seasons, so the omens look good
No chance pompey will get any thing against Chelsea, though Villa might do on Saturday.
@GHTT
It’s ok. If Pompey can’t do anything, maybe Villa will. They are a good side. Anyway, no matter what Chelsea do, the Bolton result mattes most.
@King Eric
I was waiting for your comments mate. Fletcher amazed me today. It’s been a year since we’ve started the “Fletcher is immense” stuff and he grows even more in stature after every big game!
Costas – It certainly is mate! Around the Villa game I think. Getting better and better by the game.
Fletcher should be on that plane.
Yip.
Great result from the lads today. SAF got the tactics spot on and apart from the defence
Sleeping for torres’s goal, they handled him well. This was a real test for the team, for Vidic
And for SAF. If we had lost or drawn then the weekends winners would have been Arsenal.
Psychologically this result now shows them that they have the mental capacity and belief
Not only to come back after conceding an early goal to then go on and win. But it also shows that
They can handle the pressure and step up to all challenges to win.
Bolton will be a different test but the lads will be spurred on to go there and win.
Fletcher had to be good today because Carrick was fucking shite.
Park played at the front of a midfield three today – I think he is so dangerous in this position – His tenacity and energy keeps the opposition pinned down and he’s obviously not afraid to take a chance and get in the box.
This position relieves him of much of his defensive responsibility and he seems to thrive on it! Same against Milan – they couldn’t cope with Park through the middle. Well done SAF for having the nerve to try him out in this position!
@King Eric
Yeah it was. The Macheda anniversary is on the weekend we play Chelsea.
Fletcher is a big part of the reason why Stevie Me probably had his worst game ever against us. Another reason, as a Liverpool fan and friend of mine said, is that he is probably on his way out. That’s what his body language has shown in recent weeks. Torres showed more fight than him today.
By the way, was it my idea mate, or did the OT crowd applaud louder everytime Vidic was winning a battle with Torres? Today was his and Rio’s best game together in over a year.
I was so pissed off that park was playing and not berba or gigs from the start of the match.
I was such an fool to think like that, Sir Alex has showed time and again that he has a lot of faith in park when it comes to big games, and there is a reason for that. he has the temperament, what he lacks in ability when compared to other big names, he makes for sheer I WONT GIVE UP…
Well done park, what a game you had!
However I dont think this same formation will work in the case of Chelsea, I wont be hoping for pompey to do us any favors in midweek, they will get steam rolled…
Fantastic result today. Darren Fletcher was bloody superb. He absolutey ran the show from the middle of the park,he seem’s to get better and better on every big occasion!?
Atmosphere was good today, but I was angry when some moronic supporters decided with the game hanging on a tenterhook that it would be a good idea to start off a chorus of “We want Glazer’s out” seriously there is a time and a place for protests and this wasn’t it. We were getting behind the team when they needed it in a massive game and that’s the way it should stay. Save the protests for other occasions because chants like that achieve nothing.
@Costas
I was just happy Torres shanked that chance he had at the end, but overall Vida performed better against the ladyboy.
i really have a problem calling park a dog eater its not right he’s utd through and through its very derogatory and racist he doesn’t deserve that
Parks game today does not supprise me one bit, We always get the same park when he plays.
Our Fans seem to knock players who are not the most skillful and produce extremly high workrate and graft.
Lets see…
Phil Nevile….. So many fans slated him, yet he played in most of the big games we had, i remember a time when we played arsenal and he was superb!
Fletcher!…… No need to say any more!
Park….WEll! i have said many times before on other forum posts Every team needs a park!
Why does every team need a park?
Well, When you are playing a top 6 team or against good attacking opposition you need players who are willing to put in 110% effort and very high workrate not to give the opposition time on the ball. These players rush opponents into bad passes and break up play so much the other team cant get going.l These players are very valuable squad players who often only come into the team for the harder games or against this time of opposition to null their attacking threat!
This 4-5-1 formation i really really like and is now becoming my preference over 4-4-2.
@Gary
The anti glazer chants at the end of the match was sickening… I fear that it is only a matter of time when the game hangs in the ballance we loose or draw a vital game!
Supporters can effect games and players effort levels. Supporters can also make it difficult for Visiting players to focus and concentrate on their game.
Id rather have had an Anti Stevie Gerrard chant today, or torres your a wanker chant!…..
Park playing more centrally looks like it might be taking him to a new level. In fairness he didn’t have the best first touch today but his usual work rate and the timimg of his arrival in the six yard box for his goal was …..”Scholes in his prime like”. (Can’t give a higher compliment than that!)
I must say that after Friday’s draw and this weekend’s developments, the final 2 months of the season look very exciting.
@willierednut
True mate. That was a lucky escape in the end. But it was a vey good overall defensive display because I think that was Torres’ first chance at goal after scoring in the 6th minute. I pray that Rio and Vida can start every game from now until the end of the season.
@Blotto
With regards to nevilles performance i have to disagree with you.
For the goal i have to admit it was an awsome ball and torres movement was fantastic. Defenders can get caught out like this and i think he was just done by quality of both!
Lets compare Both right backs today, Did Johnson out perform Nev today? Id have to say NO!
I absolutly love Nevile, for a right back the majority of his crosses are fantastic. The Delivery of Nev and Valencia must be a Stikers dream. Yes nev has lost that bit of pace but he certainly is still a quality player!
When I play FIFA 10 on my PS3 Park always plays well! Lol
He is a key player to SAFs strategy. And Fletcher has really stepped up his game. What
A player! He really does make a difference.
With regards to choice for right back, erm id have to piss of Gary Nev and go with his brother phill…..
Why???……… Well he can play Right Back, Left Back and the holding midfielder roll to an acceptable standard. Maybe im wrong but i think him as cover for all 3 could free up more options for attack! Thats my theroy anyhow!
PS the above was for the world cup!! lol
Park is an ideal professional to have at the club. As a rule fans pick on squad players and younger players when things are going wrong. Who has got more stick than Nani, Fletcher, O’Shea and Park down the years…I’m very pleased that to a man all those players do a great job for us. Fergusons ruthless streak with the big name signings if they don’t cut it, pays dividends.
Horay for Park!
Vidic had to put in a good performance today just to banish the demons of Torres – and he did, stuck to him like glue (bar the goal!). I think Carrick was more at fault for the goal as he lost the ball in midfield, tracked all the way back to the box and then stood and watched as Torres headed to score! Was also worried about Gary Neville starting today, but Pool so shit in attack down their left that he wasant exposed at all – his passion at wanting to beat pool got him through it. Great to see Giggsy back – another option next week, raring to go
@king eric
100% mate
from moses to robbo to keane to scholes to fletcher me thinks
Messi and Rooney both have 33 goals in all competitions now; they will be the two main hot competitors for the individual accolades. It would be nice if Rooney scores 40 and sweeps all the awards but what matters more is a-4th-in-a-row-title and a-possible-3rd-final-in-a-row. We can repeat history – win the 19th and reach another final – and create history – become the first english team to win 4 on the trot – and the first english team to reach 3 finals on the trot.
park has been far better this season, last season he was working hard with little end product, this season he is effecting the games in the crucial areas and he is creating chances and winning balls which has made him a far more all round footballer, and the big factor he is doing it in the big games
@GHTT
Remy Moses!!
@Fze123
4 in a row is something! Its so difficult to do as in the 4 years you end up lossing some key players. We have a considerably good mix of mature and youth players in our team.
What will make this one more special for me is that we have lost the worlds best player in Ronaldo and still been able to mount a title challange. I never expected us to win it this year and was expecting building year but were top and although the run in is difficlt it is achivable!
In fergie we trust!……………..He didnt spend the ronaldo money at a time where the market had no value, yet again he had people knock him and doubt him…,, Never doubt fergie!
Trevor
a huge unsung hero in my book remi was a bull.
I just watched match of the day 2 there on BBC and his miss in the 90th minute seem to of been because his foot was stuck down the hole that he kicked in the peno spot. Jutice
Costas – Yeah for the most part today OT was rocking. Every challenge and header won by Vida against Torres was cheered to fuck. After the goal it just erupted. Got to say though the dippers were loud ………………………………for about 12 minutes.
Watched Messi score a great hat trick , albeit the keeper was a joke but what a waste of fucking money Ibrahimovic was. I have NEVER rated him. Big mistake selling Eto’o. Everyone says United are a one man team well how would Barca get on without Messi as his partner can’t hit a barn door.
Still buzzing about today and will be all week. The way the lads are talking at the minute and the vibe I have a feeling we could go and win the last 7 games. Real belief and team spirit in this squad.
@ghtt
The ladyboy should have been booked for that, Aquilani was brillant when he came on lol.
No surprise that Park is at his best when he plays his position he played at PSV and for Korea. Will be first on the team sheet now for the central midfield role for man marking jobs in Europe. Has been a revelation since his return from injury.
King Eric – spooney pissed me off with that tag one man team, and manny he is suppose to be a united season ticket holder said rooney is carrying the team, yea like rafeal evra scholes fletcher park giggs valencia have had shit seasons, marcotti had to highlight this about players having good seasons, when you loose VDS ferdinand vidic who have only started 8 games together all season out of 31 its a complete miracle.
also etoo had to be sold well barca are partly to blame for trying to sell him in 2007 and 2008, but etoo was causing to much unrest he was always mouthing off in the press taking rough shots at barca has a club and he can be a poiseness apple, but barca should have bought the second best striker in the world david villa, he is basically the spanish etoo. Ibrahomivich is to slow static and he needs the ball played to feet when he does not have much pace and he cant lead the line in a 433 system when it was henry messi etoo in attack
oh yes did the muppet spooney forget ronaldo and tevez left and still we are miles ahead of liverppoll, who lose 1 player in alonzo and their world collapses like a house of cards, united have lost more quality but luckely have had enough quality to still challenge for trophys
Just had a gander on the Rawk forum, there saying Howard Webb was the reason the scum lost lol.
oh yes I hate piling up comments at moment but why the hell is PPL in general and stuart pearson how ever his name is spelt the commentator for match of the day tonight says chelsea are imbarassed losing, and what is wrong to losing to inter who are a bigger club than chelsea and have a better european pedigree with inters 2 european cups to chelseas zero.
My son the five year old wonder said:
“Where’s Ji”
a couple of minutes later when daddy was screaming like a five year old again;
I told him “Right there big man 2-1″
God bless you Ji – a certain five year old won’t forget you today : )
Willierednut
yeah I’ll give you that he cause super when he came on but he hasn’t a patch on super sub Lucas . Rafa the magician strikes again
absolute quality from Park, good to see the lad get on the score sheet after his consistent hard work. I do have to say, Carrick was absolute dross today, and I would have liked to see him come off for Berbatov, but Fergie knows best!
With my red spectacles on, I have another view on today’s penalty.
Valencia, credit to him or that, tried to stay on his feet as he rightly thought he had a goal scoring chance, but that cunt that Mascherano is, kept fouling him persistently until he brought him down. The final contact may have been on the line or just in, so the only mistake Web made was not sending Mascherano and the lady-boy off.
For once I have to agree with Alan YSB Hansen and Lee Arse Dixon. They both now think, like the rest of us, that we are going to be champions come end of May.
PARK JI SUNG!!!
Loved how Neville’s run on the flank peeled the defender away from Fletcher for Fletch to provide the ball to Park.
Yup, gotta love this game.
Honestly, I’ve rated Park since we first signed him and since he started playing first team. His work rate has always been top drawer, and lets face it in the Premier League and in Europe you need your wide players to play Box to Box. Seeing him recently in Midfield for us has been interesting, as he plays really well in-field too. Whatever way you look at it Park is a quality player, and if he was Ginger and from Lancashire or Black and from Brazil we’d all be singing his praises. How well does a Korean Player have to play before we give him the respect he deserves? This Season he’s scored against Arse and now the Scum. My only critisism before was his end product. He used to run the whole pitch but never be able to score. Now he can’t stop scoring against our biggest rivals. Park just gets better and better…. A TRUE United Player even if his home country eats Dogs
Mg
sign that kid up as a scout for talent
he knows what to look for
@costa
I got your mail and nice one advice well taken my man
@GHTT
Well said – fantastic!
Off topic but i just heard the best piece of commentary on motd2. “its gone archbishop Desmond. Its 2-2″
Brio the Red @ 19:23: “That fans have been complaining that we lack a creative midfield maestro. I’m of the opinion that that creative player is JSP; he who has 3 lungs & can play anywhere on the pitch.”
I think you’re going overboard in calling Ji-Sung a “creative midfield maestro” but I don’t disagree with your suggestion that ThreeLungPark is a very useful player. I think it’s relevant to point out to all thos sceptics – those who claim he was only signed by UTD to “sell shirts” – that until the last few matches, he’s been played out of position as a winger – just like Fletcherinho used to be and Nani is when played on the left. Recently, however, ThreeLungPark has been given more freedom to play in central midfield and – finally ! – we are able to see something like a repeat of the quality that was evident in his PSV career. These guys – and John O’Shea and Wesley Brown – are victims of their own versatility; they’re such good footballers that they can be mixed-and-matched rather than being allowed to settle into a favoured position. What’s important to realize that all five of these guys have thereby sacrificed their individual glory for the sake of the team – and we all know that there is no “i” in team.
By the way, I’ve always been sickened by the racism-lite in the suggestion that ThreeLungPark was only signed for commercial reasons.
Ah, back to the good old days when the comments were all piled up in one page. Cheers Scott!
@GHTT
Sure mate. Any time.
@King Eric
Certain players were born to do certain things. Ibahimovic was never meant to play in Guardiola’s Barca in my opinion. Italian football suits him better.
Messi and Rooney’s battle for the goldn boot takes League goals into consideration and Wazza is still one ahead. It will be close until the end of the season.
7 of us were watching the game at my house, only 2 of us were supporting united. after the torres goal, there wasn’t a single peep out of any of them. hahaha! the OT atmosphere was crazy, especially towards the end. it was so loud our ears were hurting!!! from the sound of the fans through the tv!
look at the players, who, we as supporters doubted but now have come to appreciate so much. fletcher could even turn out to be greater than keano after a few years. park has grown in the confidence shown in him by the gaffer and is thriving on it. nani made me want to tear my hair out on occasions, especially cause his skill was so obvious, but it seemed to count for nothing in light of his poor decision making. but now i think even giggsy might have a little competition for the left wing
vida and rio were written off as being past it, but are once again reminding the world why they are the best defensive partnership possibly in europe. giggs and scholes were “too old”, and yet have contributed more to our season than stevie me and fat frank combined for their shit clubs. as for rooney….what can one say about rooney? i remember some people on this blog saying that rooney had actually regressed at united because of fergie playing him out of his favored position, thus hindering his development….and yeah, that has led to 33 goals and counting. oh, almost forgot valencia, who was supposed to be a joke. “he’s only got one move”, “isn’t man united quality”, “too right footed” etc etc. he’s settled right into the the team. there is no another manager like sir alex, and no other club like man united.
Lol, I still can’t fathom what Torres was thinking when he kicked the penalty spot. That must be the most idiotic thing I have seen since Trifon Ivanov went for goal with free kicks just behind the half way line!
Sir Alex said Rooney changed his mind on the penalty, thank fuck he followed the rebound in.
@ costas- think he was pretending to be rooney for a bit, must feel awfully jealous that he isn’t in united as well
he’s scored…what 16 goals in 20 starts? despite his misses today and acting out at times, can’t deny that he’s a brilliant player and deserves to play in a far better team than the “sinking ship” that is liverpool.
@ ghtt- hehe you made emily do the new chant. i swear, you 2 deserve an award for all your hard work!
You guys that are knocking Carrick need to remind yourself despite the fact that football games appear to turn on a number of incidents involving individuals … it’s a team sport. Every United player played his part in getting us three points today. Carrick’s performance might have been low key today but he did his job.
Think back to last week against Fulham. Does anybody remember his 40 yard pass that found Berba before Berba set up our second goal against Fulham. It was the 84th min and nerves were begining to jangle. He’s a class act and plays his heart out for this great club. Ask yourselves why we didn’t see much of Stevie Me today, then think of MC.
I don’t know how it looked to you on TV but I saw an United team in total control today. SAF’s tactics were built around what it took to win. If they had of scored a second or if we had have still been tied on 65 mins – he had a plan B to move up a gear.
We’re UNITED we win together and we lose together.
LU – IFIT
The Daily Mail is also saying that Rooney limped off after the game and it’s possible he’s had a recerrence of his knee injury that kept him out of the Wolves game. Given that Rooney is doing light training every now and then in order to protect himself, I think that there will be a question mark on his fitness until the end of the season. I don’t know if it will cause him to miss any games though. I wish this wasn’t a World Cup year…
@jellybean
Yeah he is. No doubt about it. It’s just a pity he is completely wasted over there. After his goal, his other opportunity came at the final minutes.
@Dave Mack
Good point about Carrick. It’s easy to forget about the past. But today he even had me pulling my hair out. This was the first time that I ever publicly critisized one of our players, but in the first half he was probably our worst player. But, what’s done is done. Carrick has a role to play in the side and when the next big game comes, he will start that one too. It wasn’t too long ago that Park received similar critisism.
CaerdyddCoch, Park most certainly is a united legend not just a great. he embodies everything i love about united. he is hard working, quality, he does what fergie tells him and it wins us matches. he would do anything to win us a game! and he is best mates with patrice evra, what more do you want from a united legend
I don’t see the point in harrassing our own players. Look at Fletcher.
We all know he’s growing into a formidable central midfielder but Today how many times did he give the ball away trying to find Nani on the Left? He lost the ball countless times today, BUT, when it counted he found Park for our second goal and we won. Funnily enough all our players are Human so they’re bound to make mistakes from time to time. As long as WE get the results, who cares? We’re at the top of the table so clearly our players are doing better then others…..
I love parks industry and determination. He’s a good player but that’s it. What he lacks in technique and skill (mostly an awful first touch) he more than makes up for with his work ethic and desire to wear the red shirt. Very pleased to have him. Great to see him score another important goal. Let’s hope he can nab a few more cause we all know he deserves a couple. Great lad. Love to see him do well.
LET THE TALK TALK AND THE WALK WALK………….. AT UNITED NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
we are UNITED………….. NOW WE ARE IN THE VERY SERIOUS PERIOD OF THE SEASON WHEN EVERY SINGLE GAME COUNTS AND MAY COST. BUT WE HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF HANDLING IT VERY WELL, IN FERGUSON, WE HAVE AN ASSURED GUARD.
THE MOST EXITING THING IS THAT ALL OUR PLAYERS GOT THEIR TEMPO AT THE RIGHT TIME. NANI, VALENICA, BERBA, PARK , FLETCHER, EVEN NEVILLE, NOT TO MENTION THE USUALS, FERDI, VIDA AND PAT.
THIS WILL ONLY HELP US. AND I AM CONVINCED WITH THE TEMPO WE ARE IN , WE ARE UNSTOPABLE AND NO SINGLE TEAM WOULD DARE TO GO AT US. BUT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT WE NEED NOT BE CARELESS NO MATTER WHO WE PLAY AGAINST.
CONGRATULATIONS PEOPLE OF MANCHESTER UNITED, FANS………… PLAYERS……. STAFF ………. ALL EXCEPT THESE DAMN GLAZERS………………
EAGER FOR THE DOUBLE RECORD………. 19 LEAGUE TITLES……….. AND 4 CONSECUTIVE PREMIER TITLES…………………………
AT UNITED NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
SORRY I FORGOT ONE THINGS………..
WHEN RONALDO AND TEVEZ WENT………… EVERY BODY WROTE US OFF… EVEN SOME SAID WE WOULD NOT MAKE IT TO THE TOP FOUR….. WITH THE RESURGENCE OF MONEY ORIENTED MAN CITY………….
BUT WE ARE ON THE LAST SEVEN GAMES OF THE SEASON……… WE ARE ON TOP OF THE LEAGUE……. AND CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI FINAL …. NOT TO MENTION ALREADY WON CARLING CUP………
WE ARE UNITED AND WE ALWAYS PROOF OUR DOUBTERS WRONG……….. THE SAME THING HERE..
WE ARE ALWAYS UNITED.. NO MATTER WHO PLAYS FOR MAN UTD .. PPL HAVE THE DESIRE TO DO SOMETHING.
UNITED FOR EVER………………………………… UNITED IS NOT OUR TEAM.. IT IS OUR RELIGION
Park is the reason we didn’t need to spen 30 odd million on Tevez. Ok hes done allright for City but hes had a shite load of playing time, time he wouldn’t get at United.
The game was how I expected it, Liverpool relying on the skill of the only decent player they’ve got (Torres) and trying to slow down the match. Liverpool doesn’t have the stamina that the United lads have and credit to United to keep going at them and knacker them out. But in the final 10 minutes we really et ourselves down and nearly gave up the win. Silly. All in all I’m happy especially after Blackburn helped us out.
ya we are unıted.
I think we have bled the eat dogs thing dry.
How is it that Park gets compliments wrapped in insults. I don’t think the S.Koreans are dumb enough to think everyone in England carries an umbrella and wear a bowler.
At United we have always liked honest hardworking and flexible players and Park is just that. Plus the added advantage of no complaints. Even our friend Arsene Wenger praises the vital contribution that Park adds to the team.
Well done Ji Sung Park!
For fuck’s sake the eating dog thing has to stop. Dog eating might be in common but to Any race there’s always a million and one things weird about other races.
We are United, don’t act as classless as some other clubs
guys not to sound pessimistic,but i don’t really fancy our chances winning the league.i think we’ll drop points against the rentboys and man shitty..i think the ‘arse’ kids could nick it..no doubt they’ve been better than us all season with their good football i must confess. but i think we are too reliant on wazza,without him we would be struggling for 4th spot with the scousers ans man shitty
I think Fergie got it right this time playing Park in the central midfield rather than being a wingman all this while. This is where Guus used to put him when managing S.Korea and he was fantastic! I guess Fergie gave Guus a call before the game…
Morning fellas. I’ve had the best night in a long time. Finally there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Suddenly the momentum & tempo has turned in our favour. Even the ABU cunts in the media now attest to our strength indepth. I’m salivating at the prospect of 4 in a row & go above the vermins. SAF came to knock them off their lofty perch & he’s surely on his way there. Let our opponents sit up & take notice coz we are famed for our finishing! We are United. We always do things first & we do it the hard way. We tackle the seemingly impossible coz we have the greatest man-manager that ever graced planet earth. After the dust has settled down, we’ll remember one thing: that we’re fortunate & priviledged to support Man United .U.N.I.T.E.D we’ll never die.
Sorry for being late to the party, folks…but MY MY WHAT A BRILLIANT NIGHT!!! Still buzzing around at work….Park was somebody I always rated – hardworking, intelligent, but to me his biggest contribution is that he adds an element of unpredictability (from the opponent’s perspective) to the formation and tactics…now you see him bombing fown the right, and a minute later he’s crunching a hard tackle in his own half and then the next moment he is in a position that is ahead of Rooney! I mean, defenders and managers must be saying WTF – is he some kind of friggin dervish or what!!! If only he had more beef and a better finish we could have wound up Madrid to offer 100 million for him or something…LOL!!
Also, I think Valencia and Fletcher were great today, and bar the goal, the entire defense did well. Rio and Vida particularly, but I think Paddy Evra had an absolute screamer of a game, both defensively as well as in attack. BY THE WAY, didnt you guys just love RedNev’s high challenge?!! Fucking love the passion in this guy!
BUT, I think more than Valencia and Fletch, Rooney was an absolute beast today – their whole defence were getting their knickers in a twist, trying to keep him quite. They just werent able to cope with him, or get the ball off his feet…he was just MAGINIFICIENT!
PS: Masceranho is fast moving up my alltime “most hated” list of players – Gallas, Bellamy, Ballack are some of the ones who have pride of place there…but this toothy cunt is just a plain vicious thug and he deserves to be up there with them
and the people who said Park doesn’t give us dimensions go hiding again.
Gosh i went crazy after the goal,i can’t even remember the celebration for the goal!My head was thumping to the max.The lads were good, they fought hard for the ball everytime they lost.THe best day of my life so far this year.
oh yes,i love Carrick but he was poor in passing yesterday and i was seriously pissed with that.

Several posts I make on a certain forum end up as blog entries or stories.
Coincidence?
Anyway – it’s about time Ji Sung Park received the recognition his hard work deserves.
D three lungs lad indeed as bn immense dis season,wud say his best season in a United shirt.i admire d consistency frm d lad,injuries have bn hinderin his progress n do tink he mst wrk on his final ball{killer insticts}around d 18yards.as usual my Fletcherino was awesome,a major influence on carrick whm i tink gav a little performance peharps cos’ of my prayers any time he’s got d ball n get harassed n knws a fan cud invade d pitch n slap hm for bein a lady.we needed to beat loserpool nt 4d rivalry bt d 19title,d team increased d pace in d 2nd half n d defence wnt on as a unit more compose n confident.We’ll b champions again,God bless Man.United!!!
the FA should create an award for the most unsung hero of the season..this season without a doubt would go to PARK AND FLETCHER..
@ynnek: Yeah I agree with you about Park being more effective down the middle. If you notice, fergie started with nani playing down the middle and Park on the wing, and that created bigger problems for Nani (he was almost invisible during the first 20), but during the second half, nani came to life, and Park was just bloody all over the place. Essentially, Park needs width to do the most damage. His extra lung can really come into play and opponents have such a tough time trying to control him…
How fantastic was it to see Nev, Scholes and Ryan be there at the final whistle? That made the win even more special for me. Just to rub those legends in the Scousers’ faces!
costa
i taught that was fantastic and Busby bless the director of sky sports who when the final wistle blew made the decision to “cut to Gary Neville straight away” then we got to see our under 60 year old peoples holy trinity only for it to cut back to the sky studio were “there Ryan Giggs” Micheal Owen was sitting there beside Harrys son with a smile on his face well chufted that Manchester United beat Liverpool
@GHTT
Did they now? Oh that was great camera work indeed. I only managed to watch Gaz’s celebration. He also played a crucial part in the second goal with his decoy run. Michael Owen did say that he wanted a winner’s medal, so I can see why he was smiling. Jamie? Well, he blew his chance.
I am so ashamed.. before he scored.. I was not so sure why he was still on bcuz he just didn’t seem so useful this particular game! FUK ME how fukin wrong was I.. so sorry Park Ji Sung. saranghe( I love you in Korean i ithink?) It’s our title to lose now!!!! C’mon Up United!!!
Anyone saw the irony in Torres kicking away the penalty spot only to have the bobble over the exact spot in the second half to deny him drawing level after Park’s goal?
Karma is a bitch, ladyboy
@Costa
you know me mate i love my red tinted glasses i love the bright side and the negitive side bogs me down but i have to say the way the season started our lack of midfield players due to them all filling in in defence, our 1 nils scraping us through the champions league It made me think 1/these are the games and the wins that win trophys but also 2/ with so much going wrong whens it gonna work out right. 1 point ahead all things going right chelseas way on wednesday , a champions league 1/4s that united can win and that game seems on paper to be harder that uniteds pos semis in that cup anderson out but hargreaves back playing owen out kiko back training
its all panning out
but i have to say ,Gary Neville. for a guy who retired in almost everyones eyes a year and a half ago due to his playing days ending injury + his age has been as good as we could ever hope wes or oshea could be back there. the guy out ran bruno yesterday to successfully win the ball and put it out for a throw( oh and what about britney spears giving nev the big hug a neville just walking it off without even pretending he was there)
Gary Nevile is having the best season I think he’s had since the mid 2000′s
The League in my eyes is all uniteds
yesterday Liverpool were’nt playing cause its the race for 4th
neither did there fans want them to
it was to stop united gaining an advantage in winning the league
and united stood that test
and althou they are better off that the dippers the bitters are gonna have the same mind set next month
but thats why we’re champions i guess and the other either live in there own history or make it up and put stars on there jeseys which mean as much in history as a supervisers name tag in mcdonnels
oh and well off tpic but emily is only 6 subscribers away from 500
thats mental
Lets not get ahead of ourselves . Yesterday was a vital win and United are now favourites but there are still 7 massive games to go and all of them apart from Stoke home are tricky. Add to that the champions league games.Its not that we are 5-6 points ahead but just a point ahead of a chelsea team in ‘freefall’ and arsenal who have some easy fixtures. Personally i feel its between us and arsenal. A lot will depend on how much arsenal have learnt from their past when they have bottled it up from good positions.Every team WILL drop points. The one which drops the least will be the crowned champions.
I was at the game yesterday which was superb, great atmosphere but when I got in I though I watch the game again as you do, does Andy Gray watch Torres with his cock in his hand I have never heard someone go on and on about a single player in my life!
Stephen
100% agree
and I caught on to this because I taught torres was bad yesterday he played well but his attitude was so bad it was as bad or worse than anything Ronaldo had done on his worst day for united. But yet gray wanted to praise the guy while Gary Neville didn’t get a sentence of praise
agree, torres’ behavior was disgusting. apparently he was attempting to detroy the penalty area….if ronaldo had ever done something like that, everyone would be asking for his head…
anyone help a brother out by telling me the rest of the new chant
follow follow cause united are going to espanol
He was superb yesterday.But looking at the fact that Fergie plays him so sparingly shows that he views Park as a squad player.What was the most strange thing was the fact that he played better than Berba as a 2nd striker this season despite the fact that he hardly plays there…as opposed to Berba.
Berba take notice !
“There was no way Carragher could have got across to stop Valencia from shooting, absolutely no way. He’s too quick for Carragher to get across.” – SIr Alex………………… bwahahahaha!!!
I feela bit of Sympathy for Torres actually. He deserves better than to be a part of that ‘sinking ship’. He may have realised what it would have been for him had he joined United instead when he opted to stay at Madrid in 2006 when United were reportedly interested in him and them moved to the dippers
He has this tendedncy to get frustrated when things are not going liverpool’s way. The actual cunt who gets on my nerves in mascherano, arguing wid the ref everytime and making silly fouls

The difference between Utd & Loserpool was not just the 2-1 scoreline. It was the players bought & selected by SAF to play in certain matches that Benitez could not or did not know how to do.
Onward to the Reebok, ManUtd!
Bob Koh
it was no mistake that united ended a 2-1 game against liverpool with Rednev Giggs and Scholes and liverpool brought on 2 players that I dont believe Rafa thinks are good enough
Great performance from the lads against the Scousers!
@ Good Morning all
Had too much of a hangover after last night……..
Greatest Birthday gift ever………
Thank you Sir Alex…..Thank you Man United!!
Have that ya scouse bastards…..
Come on REDS!
not a bad read this from a liverpool fan
“I’ve mostly just been drinking all day, particularly after watching Gonzaga shit themselves against Syracuse, so take all this with a grain of salt. But the main problem for me is that this Liverpool side isn’t that likeable, and it showed today.
It starts with Gerrard and Torres–both are guilty of basically emulating me on the pitch: whiny, petulant, feeling the world is out to get them. Torres scuffing the penalty spot, chipping at Howard Webb (who is a c**t in his own right), and generally moping around Old Trafford for the last 80 minutes or so. Gerrard had another laugher–when Jon Champion (who will haunt my dreams until the end of time) said “some were questioning whether or not he should be playing today” I was expecting him to talk about performance, not the Michael Brown dragon elbow. He’s cut a frustrated, pompous figure for much of the season. Maybe it’s the wear of a tumultuous season, but it’s getting harder to swallow. That’s what she said.
Couple that with a tactical approach that was the footballing equivalent of armless tetherball, particularly with the substitutions, and you have a wholly disappointing performance. Sure, expecting three points at Old Trafford is the dream of an idiot, but this idiot was hoping for more.”
he doesnt have much faith in there captain stevie me
doesnt like brunos attitude
and signs off with the line” Sure, expecting three points at Old Trafford is the dream of an idiot”
i got this off a liverpool blog and other comments were on the same line with comments like “benfica win 4-0 i think ”
cast your mind back 12 months its crazy

The weekend just seems to be continuing on Monday…Terry: BRAVEHEART, CAPTAIN, LEGEND……CHEAT
@Red Devil : Happy B’day…was it yesterday or is it today? Mine is today, and yes, one helluva gift..THANK YOU!!!
red devil…jeet…and maybe even Scott I say Happy Birthday
@GHTT: Thanks, mate!
By the way, read this: http://www.oleole.com/blogs/chelseablog/posts/premier-league-blackburn-rovers-1-1-chelsea-newspaper-reaction-goal-videos-match-report
Chelsea sounds completely demoralized…their confidence is shot and they seem to have all but given up the ghost…I cant believe that the majority of their fans think this way!!!
On the same note, I couldnt believe the attitude of my Gooner mates when they drew Barca…they had DEFEAT written in their faces…they had given up hope weeks before a ball was kicked…can you believe an Utd. fan ever doing that? Most of OUR fans I spoke to are delighted because they believe they will get a chance to avenge last year’s defeat…I mean if their fans are like that, what are their players like?!!!
Fuck me – United for life!!
@ Jeet and Ghtt
Thanks a ton mates!
@Jeet
it was at the weekend…..and I couldn’t have taken another Scouse defeat……it was either a win yesterday or a win yesterday!! four in a row to the vermin would have been too much to take…….
Christ I almost had a stroke the moment the ball fell to that ladyboy cunt in the box late on yesterday….thankfully he scuffed that shot almost at the exact spot he had fluffed up the pitch to prevent Rooney taking the penalty…..its called KARMA ya scouse shit!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS6BASKaBGU&feature=player_embedded
jeet thats crazy
“I think its time we got rid of the trouble makers at Chelsea. Need to get rid of Ray Wilkins, John Terry, ashley Cole and Frank Lampard. ”
attitudes stink around there sites its nuts
and about valencia “fowl outside the box diving looking for a peno” bullcrap
did valencia get fowled outside the box
yes
did he get brought down while running into the box
no
which is pull on the shirt ,free not given , advantage played
fowled again inside the box arm pulled player went down
peno given
its simple
advantage given then peno given
to say that the free should of been given outside the box like rafa and alot of rival fans are saying then that means the want people to drop on any given touch
my name is soon going to be 1 year old
God time flies.
I wonder if Park had of missed that header, would Webb have called it back for a penalty, because jc was all over Rooney like a cheap suit.
Stephen – Spot on pal. The cunt’s Dixon and YSB Hansen found him kicking the pen spot rather amusing. It was a disgraceful act and should be punished.
aig – Hello mate. I feel absolutely fuck all for the tranny. He made his bed. As for getting ahead I don’t think people are, well they shouldn’t be but the desire our lads have and present form we are well capable of winning all our games and I think the lads can smell that.
Red Devil – Happy Birthday mate.
aig – Hey we are FOUR clear of the Chav’s. They have to WIN on Wednesday. I do agree with you about Arsenal being our likely challengers now.
Jeet – happy birthday.
gotta hate – The Chav and dipper fans are nearly as bad as the Villa fans. Booing their fucking team off even though they have been in one final (but lost to the best) are in the semi’s of FA Cup and unbeaten in 2010. Fickle bastards.
@King Eric
Hi mate.
Agree but there are important champions league fixtures whiuch could affect our season too.I feel there are still some twists and turns to come.United hardly ever do it the easy way. May even go down to the last day which i dont mind if it is in our hands as i expect us to beat stoke
As for Chelsea the gap should be 1 point as i expect them to beat pompey. If they cant do that too then they dont deserve to be anywhere near the title.
Happy birthday to Red Devil and Jeet!
@ King Eric
thanks mate…….I must say this, last week you were on fire mate!!
Love the positivity from you…..although sometimes it makes defeat so much more harder to take later on if things dont go our way…….Thank God they did go our way this time!
@Costas
thanks to you too!!
aig – Yeah mate good point we certainly never do things the easy way. Like you say if the Rentboys can’t beat Pompey they don’t deserve it.
Red Devil – Thanks for your words, much appreciated.
rednosed bastards
cheating cunts
Happy birthday to all whose birthday is today! Quite a present from the lads. I’m sure this has been mentioned countless times, but I loved Park’s celebration, patting the badge, then saying #1. Top stuff.
It was a very emotional moment when Parky scored and was clapping logo on his shirt. It really made my day and i thought at this moment about all of the haters who didn’t give him credit he deserves.
And Costas, Blackburn made it.
park performance in the last 2-3 months really make me proud. for someone from asia what park was giving make doubters eat their word. asia player never had their success like players from africa who play in europe. in case of park they will always say united just bought him to make their brand spread in asia. i dont know about other part of asia. but in malaysia as long as i can remember united is already a household name in early 80s.
but if journo and abu need to work their mind just remind them about kleberson the world cup winner. he never made grade in united midfield. so how come park can convince SAF to play him? dont insult SAF intelligent please.
Saying we bought Park to sell shirts in Korea is as ridiculous as saying we bought Kuszczak to sell shirts in Poland.
Im Sorry, but mentioning Dogs and Park in the same sentence isn’t racist, not within the context I said it in anyway. Just for the Record.
