Spain v Portugal (7.45pm KO, Live on BBC1)
The first semi-final of the Euro 2012 pitches the defending champions Spain and their Iberian neighbours Portugal in what promises to be a classic encounter.
Bookmakers heavily favour Spain to come out on top, going 1.95 about them winning in 90 minutes.
Portugal are 4.5 chances with Boylesports and the draw is a 3.4 shot with bet365 and Betfred.
Those odds about a Portugal win do seem on the large side for a team who have done nothing but impress throughout the tournament since losing their opening game 1-0 to Germany.
Their passing, link-up play and teamwork in subsequent victories over Denmark Holland and the Czech Republic has been absolutely top notch, as has the finishing of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo has been the star of Euro 2012, adopting a shoot on sight policy which has reaped big rewards.
The Real Madrid striker has scored three so far, and a remarkable total of 66 this season for club and country.
He has also has fired in a total of 29 shots, the most at a European Championship finals since 1980, and is there is little doubt that in his current form he is capable netting in this.
Paddy Power go 6.5 about him scoring the opener, and that looks decent value as does the 3 on offer with the same firm and Betfred about him netting any time in the 90 minutes.
Nani is also a big threat when Portugal go forward, and at 15 with bet365 and Paddy Power is definitely worth a small saver in the first goalscorer market.
The key for Portugal in this match is to stay strong in defence and work hard to contain a hugely talented Spanish outfit whose midfield trio of Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta have controlling matches.
They totally dismantled France in the quarters, and have no injuries or suspensions to worry about coming it this.
The Spaniards will also set a new record of 11 European Championship finals matches unbeaten if they avoid defeat and have kept eight consecutive clean sheets in knock-out games at major tournaments.
However unlike France, who were content to sit back and let them dominate without ever really threatening on the break, I think Portugal are a side high on confidence who will be prepared to have a go.
Their pace up front is frightening, and if they do get their heads in front I feel that they are strong enough and classy enough to hold on.
I fancy them to win 2-0 or 2-1, and those scoreline can be backed at 26 and 19 respectively with Betfred.
Man Utd News 24/7
I would be delighted to see a Portugal win . Nani and ronny to score
Portugal to win and nani to score today
I’m hoping from a big game from Nani today. Hopefully he will be looking to get on the ball and attack,
He could be a key player in any counters.
They’ve got the best player in Ronny therefore I go with Portugakl.
As far as the money goes, well straight up Admin’s ass……….As for the game, I want Portugal to win which will of course mean that Spain will be in the final
A bit off topic- I was just looking at the goal scoring stats of Robin van persie and I found out that It took van persie 4 season to score 20+ goals. I saw someone saying that danny welbeck could never be a top striker because he just scored 12 goals this season. Fuck off haters.
Welbeck is going to be a top striker.
Forzaaa Naniiiiiiiiii
RvP aka my son rapes shit………Why are we bringing him into discussion…..Bugger was always injured, then when he had an injury free season he raped fucking shit
keep yer money in yer pocket , not the parasites coffers
and I’m back !
all you dip shits with an insomnia problem, well just tune into tonight’s semi-final ! My god, its like the best unapproved sleeping drug EVER!!!
Forza Espanyol…!
Forza Espanyol? This is fucking treason……..
Mind you, their babes are fucking gorgeous
what the fuck is this about treason, you lumberjack?! Have you seen them play? Have you everhad the chance to wank over their oh-so-beautiful passes and slick movement. They’re so good they dont even need a striker. Even better, I bet they can beat any team in the world with only 9 men, even with a patch on one of their eyes!
Like I said a few days ago, hope the spanish chicks turn up
Yeah Spanish football is overly exciting, usually has me asleep after 10 minutes…… Woo haa
This has been bugging me for a while but surely if phil jones is england and uniteds future captain to be, the next duncan edwards etc, he WOULD have been involved in some capacity in the Euros??? So why wasn’t he involved lads??? I just don’t get it and I agree with Rio with what he had to say in the Sun.
Does Hodgson just think Jones is shite or what? He played Johnson every game, never took the lad off even when England were comfortable against the likes of Ukraine and Sweden in the last few minutes.
I’m sure Jones must be absolutely gutted! It’ll def be a confidence knock for him. Same can be said for Leighton Baines as well! Top top player and he couldn’t get a minute?! No wonder Carrick told England to do 1 a while ago. I don’t blame the lad.
I’d rather save them for a Heineken.
Xavi for Iniesta, no wait that was the other way around?……… Yes they are good, we cannot fool ourselves But its more exciting watching a turtle race
Come on you reds, come on you reds
Just keep your bottle and use your heads
There’s 90 minutes left to go
We’re Man. United here we go!
Gwarn Nani lad! Tonights your night fella! Show us some silks and make it count! Oh and viva Ronaldo! Cmon Portugal! Let’s av it
Morning piss ants
I’m going for 1-1 after 90 mins 2-1 Portugal in extra time.
Ji Sung….. two words in answer to your question…Jordan Henderson!
Ji sung
well said regarding jones. I don’t its anything to do with jones talent because he is very much talented. The problem is hodsgon thought Johnson was doing a good job but in hindsight he was not. I am sure jones will feature regularly for england.
Sheeps to win and Spain in the final!
leeds to get promotion and become champions of england!
Andy Carrold to win the Ballon ‘D’ Or!
Suarez and John Terry to win Cunts of the year!
Evening ant shaggers
Ronaldo’s efforts will be in vain, sadly…..
And, Cedar’s efforts with the curse will be in gain, happily….Is it a crime?
Who the fuck are leeds
For all people of RoM who live in delhi. Have you guys checked the new store of man united which is opened in CP?
@ Harish
The answer lies within your question. Who the fuck are Leeds? Not good enough even for a fuck. What the fuck?
Fuck>>>Leeds
No, Harish… I try and stay away from the “cool dudes” who wear a truckload of merchandise and generally dont know shit about United, or even football but use the name as a fashion accessory. Will check it out if I pass that way. Where in Delhi are you?
Jeet
I live near Karol bagh. I really want to visit that store. But I agree many people who even don’t know a thing about united buy merchandise .
Rio Ferdinand slams lack of opportunities for Jones & Oxlade-Chamberlain……
http://m.goal.com/x/en/news/3203089
Jeet – Let’s expand the meet then?
It’s in N Block, CP, right next to Dunkin’ Donuts… Carries some neat stuff. Been there a couple of times. Never bought anything though.
Harish lives near Carroll bagh,
Andy Carroll is his hero,
And he a scouse fan giving it large,
What about the Ballon ‘D’ Or, dare I ask,
Harish says its his birthright,
Go and fuck yourself with a flask!
Ji sung:
Jones not ready yet, and England were never cruising at any point in the tournament… Also Cole played quite well and certainly is better than Baines.
seriously I am getting worried about this news linking us with Rodriguez. I am hearing we coughed 30 MILLION for him and it got rejected and we are trying to offer more? WHAT THE FUCK? Are we not keeping Nani? Please we better keep Nani. Why on earth are we going for yet ANOTHER winger FFS. Its becoming an obsession. Use that 30 million and get a central midfielder.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7844548/?
Looks like Michael Keane is going out on loan and Tunnicliffe will stay around with the first team. Have heard so much about Tunni from our dear King Eric on here that can’t wait to see him in action. Bring it on I say!
@dannysoya LOVES SIAN MASSEY: agree with everything you said there…

SIR Alex Ferguson today led the tributes to Teddy Scott as the Aberdeen FC legend was laid to rest at Ellon Parish Church.
R.I.P!
@ Jeet
You are lying mate, I saw you with King Kenny’s jacket on buying a pair of Pepe Reina’s new hair gel range! So, you indeed are the “cool dude”!
James rodriguez is a great player! He’s just 20. And can play centrally as well.
I wouldn’t mind us going for him for a decent price. Not the above quoted 30 mil
Better than the blond wig, push-up bra, leather thong, garters and fishnet stockings I saw you in, mate…maybe you are a fan of Torres and other cool ladyboys?
Nani to score the winner!!!!
Forza portugal!!!
On Topic
Good of Hodge to defend Rooney after Capello said “he only understands Scottish” in other words saying he only plays for SAF replying to Rooney who said he preferred an english manager because “no words are lost in translation”.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/england/9358939/Euro-2012-Fabio-Capellos-comments-about-Wayne-Rooney-were-cheap-says-England-manager-Roy-Hodgson.html
I take offence to that Jeet, use of such provoking language is not appropriate for a forum like this where serious posters like me are always busy with “serious” “footballing” “debates”. Although, It would be interesting to see Carroll and co. loosening it up with a C-string!
As far as seeing me is concerned, I am sorry but it wasn’t me, it was the gentleman along with a young blonde as you can see below:
http://www.google.co.in/imgres?q=rafa+benitez+funny&um=1&hl=en&biw=1366&bih=638&tbm=isch&tbnid=PXc-qbB4WOPqRM:&imgrefurl=http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/liverpool/7945/in-another-life-rafa-benitez-wine-waiter.html&docid=rjASsR16VeP1GM&imgurl=http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/200314833-001-copy.jpg&w=354&h=455&ei=XQPrT_KnLoLqrQf11sXEBQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1002&vpy=157&dur=815&hovh=255&hovw=198&tx=116&ty=143&sig=103165200391310045225&page=1&tbnh=138&tbnw=105&start=0&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0,i:102
So it’s evident Jeet likes a blonde,
Who has a push-up bra and a leather thong,
Fernando with the fur is her identity,
And they both play naughty in a pond
tunni first team…next year HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA made me laugh…didnt fergie say that about pogba last year exact same time….And pogbas twice the player tunni is unfortunatly,yet rafa n park were playin midfield when we had the crisis hence pogba leaving…
dont be fooled…tunni wont get a game next year,a few runouts in the CC is if hes lucky…
we need another cM with kagawa we will be great
This quote one was so funny from Ferdinand
“When we faced Pirlo for United against AC Milan a couple of seasons ago, our gaffer stuck Park Ji-Sung on him and he never let him out of his sight. We won the game 4-0 and I bet when Pirlo woke up the next day he thought Park was lying beside him, he had stayed that close.”
this went hard hahahahahah, I can only imagine this one
The lunatics are running the asylum.
I’m soo excited
Spain and their “invisible nine formation” ! Boring “yawn”, but Im betting Nani and co will keep it lively with their wing play. I wish they didnt have Meireles he turns it off for me. Maybe its the tatoos or the countless times he blasts it skywards trying to repeat that Liverpool goal.
Cedar my inspiration are your
Good afternoon to all rom tw*ts I’m new here
Looks like zigoo is a bundle of positivity as ever. If FERGIE deems tunnicliffe ready for the first team then i see no issues with that. Good enough is old enough and all that.
Last time i’ve watched tunnicliffe, his passing and positioning were slack but i’d imagine he’s improved those parts of his game and with more experience, he’ll hopefully get better and ready to be eased into the first team.
Nothing the manager can do about pogba, he’s made his decision and his choice is to leave.
with porn in one palm and you pecker and the other. hello all who have just jerked off.
Big shit still to happen this silly season.
Tunni to take his chance and run.
Carrick, Scholes, T.C, Andy, Giggs, Kagawa, Park, Powell and Tunni
Does Keane’s injury mean Kiko stays?
Cole, Lindgard will get a run in the summer with the big boys.
I forgot PETRUCCI as a MF player.
Well fuck me side ways and burn my testicles on a hot iron rod, this place has gone totally bonkers…
Chiko
Welcome aboard fella, happing posting mate…..
My Dick
Great to see you back with your original moniker my good friend
SAF likes wingers. Rodriguez was awesome the 3 games I saw him in.
Gill and SAF will get more maybe 2 1st teamer’s and 1 or 2 kids.
Tree hello man I must go BBL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bale’s signed a new deal. Denton’s dream has ended…..
”Fuck me sideways” my fav @cedars
I’m soo happy to be posting on ROM
How come pogba becomes twice the player than tunni? Have you seen tunni play? Just because tunni has a low profile life he becomes lesser player than pogba. I have seen both pogba and tunni play and both are talented players who have to improve in certain areas.
If pogba stays with us (Which I hope) Then I will cheer fro him but if he doesn’t then ok. We will move forward.
Harish
I have also not visited the MU store here in delhi. Maybe will visit this sunday and hope to buy something.
Jeet, I totally get what you’re saying mate. I personally have no problem with people sporting Manchester United merchandise. They help us in a lot of ways and are one of the primary reasons for the thriving Manchester United brand. However, I never any United merchandise in public. The reason being I don’t want to be considered one of therm so to speak. God forbid if I’m ever mistake for one of those hippie people.
Looks like Fred and I will be on the same side tonight………Only happened once so far when Greece lost to Germany……..
Hope his luck beats my curse tonight!
Hows tricks RoM?
Would really make my night seeing Portugal beat Spain. Long overdue imo but Ronaldo and co have been guilty of bottling it in the past to be fair. Still, that can only go on for so long… Nani could’ve done with going to South Africa but he’s been involved in quite a few goals at the Euros and nearly scored himself last game. That should translate into further improvements back at United next season as he’s not going anywhere for now.
Definitely hoping for an upset but the Coral will be flowing regardless. Estoh Confianche! (Forgive the spelling!)
Portugueseprincess must be as excited as a jumping frog!! ha ha ha
If wc 2010 is anything to go by, I think spain are in for a tough game with portugal
As you all know CR7 under performed in that tournament but now is showing his true colours which is always scary
Spain on the other hand, are a great bunch of technically good players but are short of 1 thing, a great goal scorer in the mould of david villa, a savior for hem in their previous encounter with portugal.
torres for me isn’t the same lethal n clinical player we all know. He’s too judgmental on his own ability, he shorts confidence n that isn’t anything going to improve anytime soon unless he rehab as far as I’m concerned
Based on that my money is on PORTUGAL
United Till I Die
Hi pal, I think its safe to assume that most neutrals want a Portugal win tonight, sadly though I am one of those neutrals……..My record in this tournament has been horrendous
hope nani,ronnie and co do them greasy haired cunts tonight. tippy tappy sideways bores me to the point of suicide. as much as i hate the germans i think they,l win it,said it from day one. ps just heard on the grapvine we signing 4 more players- cll-cunt, stevie flea, jamie cuntagher and didier dogba;-)
Del Bosque said his team are tired………No shit? Why on earth would they be more tired than any other team? Unless he means tired of boring the fuck out of us
Fucking Incredible! Just incredible. I’d expect it from the British Press but to find this amongst a morning sweep of the local news……get fucking bent.
http://www.thestar.com/sports/soccer/article/1217801–euro-2012-wayne-rooney-s-dismal-performance-for-england-inexcusable?bn=1
That’s is it. That’s the straw. My 3 Lions back is broken and I WILL NEVER FUCKING SUPPORT OR WATCH THEM EVER AGAIN.
Sorry for the caps lads but jaysus wept, this is fucking criminal. Singing praises of everyone but simply because they’re “not as skilled.” Gerrard played above himself? Job would’ve been easier if Rooney did his bit?
For all the expectation on Ronaldo, i can imagine nani bagging a screamer, maybe moutinho could hit one or pepe. Hope portugal win but the spanish are favorites. Portugal can’t afford to concede first, they must take the lead and then fly forward on the counter attack. Will be a difficult game.
ididnotzeeit
I feel your frustration mate, but surely its something we as United fans are used to by now……Still does not make it easier I suppose
@ididnotzeeit
Haha. Who the fuck even is that bald cretin? Some fuckwit no-mark trying to make a name for himself by loading his VD-ridden spaff into an ink-cartridge and writing with it.
He’s a bewildered fuckwit without half a clue about football, let alone about stringing a sentence together. It’s embarrassing that shitstains like that even have a job, let alone one where he’s given any sort of voice.
Prasan, mate, I’m more like james bond in a pond with a blonde
Funny enough, I just got back from a swim
Wonder where Bobby Charlie is? Could really do with one of his rants now, especially with what went on with England
Seriously mates, it is infuriating. To fucking put a penalty loss in a nil-nil game down to Pirlo having time on the ball because Rooney was lazy? That’s the sloppiest, half-witted, unfounded piece of bullshit I’ve yet to come across. It went to fucking penalties for christ’s sake! It was 0-0! He bagged his penalty in style. The fuck was he supposed to do? Wear a disguise and take all five?
The local “coverage” has been summarily poor (as per usual) but to see an article like this, across the pond, is a fucking travesty. It’s just pub league reporting, to call it journalism is a laugh.
Just thought I’d share that little gem, I’m sure there’s many more like it but I was appaled to find it in the local read.
United > England
Carrick – best english midfielder
Rio – best defender
Rooney – best FORWARD
Welbeck – 2nd best
(both by country fucking miles)
And Young, well, even with a blinder of a tournmanet, best English winger considering Milner’s fucking pants.
Ugh……you can’t make this stuf up
Just for one of me mates on here you cannot post these few days………..For you Jimmy James…
Rooney Rooney Rooney
Rooney! Rooney! Rooney! For Zibbie.
ididnotzeeit
Its pretty simple pal, in the eyes of the English media and FA its Anything and Anyone BUT United……
The ABU’s is not a myth, been around for ages
@ididnotzeeit
He’s also basically laid a tactical decision made by Hodgson (Rooney not picking up Pirlo) at the feet of Rooney. What is this? Fucking amteur hour?! Anyone who knows the first thing about football knows that Rooney is disciplined on the pitch, and will operate where the manager tells him to. How many times last season did we see Rooney dropping back into midfield to help defend a lead, and doing it fucking well. If he’s not picking up Pirlo for 90 minutes it’s cos the MANAGER HASN’T TOLD HIM TO, YOU CRETIN.
Rooney Rooney Rooney for UNITED………….Fuck off
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/england/9359105/Euro-2012-Fabio-Capellos-criticism-simply-highlights-he-didnt-understand-how-to-make-Wayne-Rooney-better.html
Nailed it.
Oh and Crapello sucks dick and he can also lick my hairy Lebanese ass…….What a tit
Willie
Fuck me sideways! That was telepathy of sorts mate
Love how Capello chimes in and has a dig. Yeah, where were you Don Fabio? Fucking watching. And why? Because the FA wouldn’t allow you to appoint CLLC with the fucking armband. Shut your fucking gilatto hole.
@ kanchelski
Exactly mate. Anyone that thinks Rooney was given a role to “man-mark” Pirlo is in need of examination. “Guess he only speaks Scottish…” no, he’s fucking scouse, no one knows what the fuck they say and no one listens.
Jaysus, that’s it, that’s it for me. Blood is boiling and the pot’s ready to come off the stove.
“Gerrard played above himself….” I suppose not being completely embarassed and fucking found out is a moral victory in the eyes of some.
Where exactly was Scott Parker in that match? No mention of Ashley Cole hitting his peno like it was a fabergais egg? How bout the brave and mighty Joe Cole getting no closer to any of the penos than any of us watching the tele?
Sickening….
We look after our own, we are the UNITED family for fucks sake………There is enough crap out there
Cedars – Spooky!
ididnotzeeit
Find yourself a bitter or even better a leeds fan and beat the living day lights out of them……..That should make you feel better………Always worked for me!
Disclaimer
I do not condone violence in anyway shape or form
Someone should’ve told Gerrard that Pirlo hates Phil Collins and perhaps he’d have gotten a little closer
Now that’s man management
Willie
You and I have had our fair share of them spooky moments on here! I recall at some stage we were accused of being the same person……..ha ha ha
Could we be?
I am not at all surprised by the comments that are given to rooney by so called pundits and media. The moment it went to penalties I knew the inevitable is going to happen and Rooney or Young will get slaughtered.
I don’t give a damn what these media fuckers say because there hate makes us stronger. Go on degrading our club because everyone knows the truth that we are not mediocre like everyone. We are the best We are Manchester United.
Hoping for a Portugal win but I think Spain will be a bit too much for them. Anyways, I would like Portugal to have a real go against the Spanish rather than park the bus which is not their style. Portugal has a tenacious midfield and a decent defense to handle those weasels but Portugals efficiency when they have posession will be the key to their success.
I cannot for the life of me understand why on earth some folk are still going on about the whole Crapello V Rooney debate and even siding with the former????
Seriously? Oh Crapello is an educated man so he was joking, but Rooney is daft so he was rude??? Really??????
This shit is seriously starting to piss me off
Capello can take every inch of his educated bit of pasta he has ever eaten and shove it up his ass for all I care……
Rooney Rooney Rooney
Oh and please no one dare try and give me a so called balanced view on this topic…….This is seriously personal shit
So no mention of Henderson not even getting a touch on the ball? Was he brought on to confuse the Italians or just to make them laugh.
What about Ignazio Abatte raping Ashley Cole for most of the game (then Maggio took over)?
Maybe a mention that £35m Andy Carroll not even having the cojones to take a penalty? In fairness, he did have that one ‘run’ where he basically barged 3 people over before the ref called the foul.
Any mention of Parker and Milner’s comedic impressions of a footballer? I assume it was a comedy, they can’t have been serious.
How about Misery boy “Captain” Gerrard getting cramped up in 70 minutes despite hardly running at all?
I could go on all day about their shite performance. Besides, 1 goal in two games played isn’t bad.
Rooney’s fault eh? Riiight… Fuck off Mr Hat and take your man JT with you, twat.
Cyril
You know I love you, no I really love you and with tongue if needs be!
Rooney Rooney Rooney He is a RED and he rapes shit so fuck off Woy and take your Crapello with you
‘So no mention of Henderson not even getting a touch on the ball? Was he brought on to confuse the Italians or just to make them laugh.’
That comment just defused all the anger I had in me! In fact I pissed my self ha ha ha ha
Afternoon Mr Cedars sir
I’m not Wayne Rooney’s biggest fan by any stretch of the imagination but he’s a Manchester United player and he gets my support. I don’t go in for scapegoating one person for collective failure. We win together, we lose together, no?
Cyril
Indeed and well said mate, he may be an ugly fucking scouser but he is OUR ugly fucking scouser and as long as he dons the shirt I will support him against anyone, no one more so than the ABU bastards….
Together we stand, divided we fall
I’m new in here, hope the pisstakers do not jump at me since my english isn’t that perfect
I’m portuguese so english is my second language.

Better than Henderson himself living with you for a while, though at least you could re-educate him and he might be useful around the house. He’s got to be good for something, just not football.

@ Cedars
The mobile autocorrect insisted on misspelling his name.
@Cyril et all
The Kabuki Theater that is the England team and the media continues. Our worst patchwork midfield from last season was better than England in the Italy game by a longshot. Lack of midfield control OF ANY SORT isolated the attackers. England played not to lose.
The upside to all the scapegoating of Wazza is that he will be primed to rip LFC and Tottenham a new one when we meet.
Two words for Capella: sour grapes.
‘Fuck me sideways’ is jus one of best cedars expressions
And him being only the first person with ability of writing touching words on ROM those typos are no ordinary, are a description of how outspoken cedars (the ROM legend) is. Naff said

Welcome aboard mate. So, finally you’ve interacted with the daddy of ROM. This one’s for you:

Fuck me sideways, Chiko got laid,
Cedara said it’s just the first day my child,
Chiko said it’s better than an Elland Rd grind!
Gleefully the Lord agreed,
Surely must’ve been on weed,
But he had an inquenchable thirst & a need,
Fuck me sideways was an option
Though Chiko went for the greed,
He fucked Cedara sideways & under
Baaa…the sheep asked the Lord,
Are you done with the dream & thunder!
That was soo creative prasan, thank you for that I think im settling in jus fine. The cedars generation is ruling!!!!
Alright lads .
Durham’s side for the World Cup qualifier and I am DEADLY serious:
Toff Cunt
Walker Cahill Lescott Cole
Henderson Wilshire
Walcott Gerrard Young
Carrol
Is this a sick joke? No Rooney, Welbeck, Jones, Smalling or Cleverley who is ten times the player of that frankenstein cunt Henderson. Err not a big fan of United are you Durham you fucking mug.
@ Chiko
Happy posting my friend! And, all the best for the match tonight. I am with Portugal for tonight, so will be my dear Fred and the curse master Cedara! Where the fuck have they disappeared?
Fuck me side ways, I think I should start a cult of sorts, just for me bonny lasses!!!
Now, with out Fred turning out here Portugal have no chance
@ King Eric
Are Townsend & Hansen going to be the coach and assistant coach for that team? Just a genuine thought so just asking!
Ronny and nani will win it .
@ Cedars
Heads up buddy, hope your alright I look forward to forging alliances against the ABU Nation in whatever capacity is needed.

I see what you did here very sneaky with the disclaimer akin to the classical Sicilian mob style.
@ Prasan
I hereby confirm that my moniker will not be changing from Brigadier19 to Sheepshaggingbrigade
All is well at my end just looking at how to condone myself when on the job. Cedars pretty much summed it up with his disclaimer.
Unfortunately teaching those Inbred wankers is proper difficult as they are beyond help as there lives are filled with pre ritual after hours activities with the four legged woolen variety.
@Cyril
Your articles on http://www.agentoffergie.com never fail to have me in fits of laughter, good to see you have decided to carry on publishing your works towards the fight of the ABU Nation.
@WRN
They play for United you fight to the death because of this. A stellar quality in my eyes. Keep up the good work.
@ROM
So I gather that Rooney issa responsible for England going out of the European Championships. I agree this is true as I also agree that everything that goes wrong in peoples lives is all down to Rooney, I got up late for work because of Rooney, spilled my brew because of Rooney, I have to work near Elland Road, for this I blame Rooney. My missus made me a shit tea, I also blame Rooney for this.
Ah that’s it the Media need United, so they sell their souls and there papers on the back of the great institution that is Manchester United Football Club.
You know what I say lads and ladettes………
”Let the peasants mock”
Forza Brigadier.
King Eric
It amazes me how fuck all you know at times pal………..Carroll is fucking world class, marquee signing he was….After all he cost 35 scousing millions so he must be a genius
I actually cannot believe the media are blaming Rooney and keeping a straight face. Without his goal against the Ukraine they would have been on the next flight out. He buried his penalty. Durham scratching his head ” I just have no idea why Wayne doesn’t turn up for Ingerlund”. Oh its so hard to fathom Adrian isnt it you little Ingerlunder. He is surrounded with much better players at United. Simple as.
hi, mates am actually knew on ROM but ‘ve followed the blog for some odd two weeks and truthfully i stand in awe especially of legends like Sir Cedars,Sir jeet and the rest of the ROM crew..
Cyril – Great post at 5.15 pm mate. Spot on.
KingEric, There was a study, conducted by the BBC, that proved anyone in England could blame anyone from X and 96.8 percent of Britons would believe it.

@ Brigadier
Evening my friend. How are you doing? Thank fuck, you are keeping it the same. I’m still your charge in that case, orders awaited mate!
I for one cannot understand why Charlie Adam, the teletubby scottish cunt, can’t be brought into that team, get that useless Young out of the line-up! Charlie’s hollywood passes are worth 10 cents you see!
zigoo – Tunni was allowed on loan to develop pal. Just like Tom and Danny.

Hold your head up high pal, I have accepted you as second no I mean as a shared number 1 in command for our Sicily division ABU bashing unit…….Welcome aboard Brigadier

Sherlock Holmes you are
Born in London, been in the States since 77 . I now live in and LOVE Texas. See my first posts. Oh And I really enjoy Lebanese food if you were wondering. Had a favorite Lebanese place when I lived in LA.
@Prasan no worries mate.
Vamos portugal te <3 portugal
Forca portugal
Forca nani
Forca ronnie
Espanha 1-3 portugal
That's my prediction for tonights match
Cedars, Fletch and Prasan – Its laughable isnt it. What an absolute shit team.
Oh dear God can people please stop calling me sir? I am nothing but………Such an acclaim is reserved only for Sir Giles
@ Fletch
How about adding these:

v. Young’s boots
vi. Jones shorts
vii. Wellbeck’s “selfishness”

Don’t know about Nani but who is going to stop the genius that is Ronaldo.Nae cunt.
chiko – Welcome to the blog.
Right time to fuck off home. Laters lads.
LSR
But at some level you are a tit and you know it………..Should I elaborate??
@ King Eric
To think of these cunts getting paid for coming out with such pile of shit! Ah, I think I should become a pundit as well. Could do at least 10 times a better job than them and if I can’t at least I’ll get to smash their ugly faces and get sacked the very first day! Cunts, the whole ABU media!
Modric a “playmaker”? United desperate for one? Err Kagawa? Thick cunts:

Thanks kingeric.
Now nervous as fuck, this game I’ll watch in hospital

Welcome aboard to loony town mate
I just saw the Ferguson season ticket propaganda and it is quite amusing to see the old man play the circus monkey for the Glazers, cheerleading for them to sell tickets. Talk about embarassing yourself.
God bless, What we would have won if Ronnie had stayed in red! :8:
prasan – And parryheid!
Chiko
Have faith
King Eric
Kagawa will be for us what VDV is for Spurs. We still need a deep lying midfielder mate.
Moscow
Funny I just read the most embarrassing post on here……….Well done fella, you’ve just made a complete fool of your self
KingEric
can’t say I’ve missed listening to that prick Durham, but I tell you what. I’d actually like that to happen quality shines through the turf and they’ll come begging. SAFs mentioned how ungrateful the FA – I have a sneaky feeling he was taking a pop at ingurland fans as well .And he’s right. what I can’t fathom is how any one can say with a straight face,Steve 5mm dick and Parker had a good outing at the Euros.
SAFs up to summat and it feels special.
I always feel this way going into a new season and I hope we go into the season showing that United intent no one can match.
@Prasan
Yeah I’m all good my friend, orders will be submitted in due course buddy.
I get what Sir Alex did against Blackpool secretly telling his midfielders to slow up the pace a wee dram so Teletubby Adam would be seen as the linchpin to dominating United on this day.
This made Liverpool very interested in the fat cunt and felt if he could do this to United then perhaps he could lead them to the Holy Grail.
It nearly back fired on the great man as we went 2 goals down but pushed on to win 3 -2.
I’m not sure if similar instances can be relevant to Henderson when playing at Sunderland but if so you can pick up at pattern here.
Unfortunately for these horrible rabid inbred scouse bastard’s they are further from the Holy Grail than ever before.
Forza Sir Alex Ferguson.
Forza Nani.
Forza Ronaldo.
Come on Spain!!! Vamos España
I always support Spain and Italy in all cups

Great game this
@ Willie and Parryheid
Sorry fellas, I take that scottish thing back, got a bit carried away in anger. And, when I was about to post this comment, my internet went down and became slow as a snail..sheer bad luck honestly! Hoping this comment gets posted and my apology gets accepted.
On another note, can I replace the scottish thing by a rat munching scouse cunt?
rooneys fault spain aint winning. stupid ugly cunt. its raining outside here…for fuck sake rooney
Prasan_UTDfan4life.
Not required,didn’t offend me got more sense.
prasan – That sounds better!
rat munching scouse cunt sounds good hahaha
@ Parryheid
Thanks a lot my friend.
Still struggling with the internet speed though…fucking slow!
Spain are gonna nick this. You just know it…
3 Lions
You come across as some one with a strong passion for them rat munching bin dipping scousers?
Good for you mate!!
The Scots aren’t bastards anyway. They’re just wankers!
Joke. 
You fall as a kid and you learn what it means to be hurt. You’ll cry you’ll probably bleed but most of all all you ever want is to be held and comforted.
And then you start growing up. We never pay the same attention because we think we can absorb any pain coming our way, but sometimes we can’t, it’s not possible because you don’t want to be alone when you have to face up to lifes big calls.
So here I am 2 weeks on to what now is a flame in my eye when it’s not flashing. It is not what I was told. It’s still bad but it’s not as bad, it’s a small retinal hole in the right eye which is normal because I am short sighted.
Of course I wish it never had happened and I didn’t have to live through it but here I am.
And with it today I have a Cedars, a Mike, a Watson, a Jeet, a Costas, I could carry on. I have a Red Nut, a Brigadier, a soren I could carry on. I have Giles a parry a Fletch I could carry on. I have a Balaji FITB a G12 I could carry on. I have a prasan a Cyril, ididnotzeeit so many Utds, an Eric who is King.
I could carry on and name you all because you’re there and out there whoever you are it’s real.
This is real. United fall too. And sometimes they need us to pick them up. And we do.
And then one of us falls and we look around and you know what?
To have a RED family is the greatest privilege and sincere humbling experience that I have with me.
It isn’t over but then everyone will just be there.
19
I didnt pick who I wanted to write each and every one to those who I didn’t mention you are all the same to me.
Without you all, without you all RED I’m just me but with you I’m the sum of many truly wonderful people. That’s what I learned today.
People say what did I do, I will tell them that I met people who changed my life completely.

Brigadier19
I know Rooney and Welbeck are not good enough but are you implying Andy Carroll is shit as well?
Still 0-0, ronaldo very wasteful, he should of buried that last chance he had on the 92nd minute. Nani started off very well now seems tired jeez!!!!

NO!!! Ramos please haha
Excuse me Ramos
bet there all having a group wank over them spanish set of cunts
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!! VIVA ESPAÑA!!!!
wtf Bruno Alves?? do they not have a midfielder that can take a kick? Disgraceful pen management.
The mama boys of Spain go through. I’m so sick of them! Let’s hope the germans do them.
Fuck Spain btw, overrated chumps now if Germany wins the final will be the most boring match ever.
Oh please Hansen shut the fuck up !!!!!!
It’s all Cedars’s fault! Even Happy birthday Dooby couldn’t save Portugal from the curse of
Prof. Cedaromot!
Damn you Spanish pussies, sex fabregas nearly squandered it, got lucky. Hope the Germans do them in the finals inside the 90 mins!
Everyone cheer Germany on now!
Except Cedars!
BBC.. We’ve just seen a great side because they played so bad for 90 minutes?!?!?! Oh do fuck off!! They were fucking Average at the very best. Difference was Dabregas scuffed his pen and it went in off the post, Alves hit his well and it came out!!! Get your tongues out of those Spanish Ass holes!!!
My thoughts go out to Portuguese Princess and the rest of the Portuguese. They had a very good go at Spain and they lost out for the weirdest of reasons: Because the order of the penalties was all wrong. You NEVER allow your best taker to go on last.
I will miss Portugal in the final. They play better football than the Spaniards. All the endless passing is starting to make me hate football.
Roonie took the 5th v England in 2006 so it is a good bet that was the plan.
Microphone: Nani, any comments
Nani: We couldn’t do any more. We only have to congratulate Spain.
Microphone: Ronaldo, any comments
Ronaldo: It’s polemic! Innit?!
The players decide if they want it enough. That’s what Nani did; the moment he saw three defenders taking penalties B4 a forward he stepped up. Baby Boy, on the other hand, was standing around like a prick – and happy to do so – Bcos he didn’t really want a pen. If he did, he would have insisted with with manager he take an ealry pen, just as all the big players do. Name me another situation when a really great player didn’t take an ealy pen?
Damn those greasy Spaniards with their boring, negative football! Why can’t they play positively, like United did against city on April 30th?
Just gets funnier and funnier Throatwobbler.
Drogba took the 5th penalty when the Rent Boys won in Germany. Boom.
He went 5th because he wanted to score the winning penalty and get the glory on tv. Same thing with John Terry back in Moscow. Self before team.
Good point about nani – he stood up and took responsibility – tht took some nerve to stop the defender and send him back. Even then cristiano didn’t want to go next. He put portugal’s future in the hands of a bunch of defenders.
Actually Bruno Alves got confused. That’s all it was. You can’t change the order of the penalty takers after it’s been submitted.
Ronaldo shouldn’t have been last imo. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it ends up like this.
edcunt: Drogba took 5th v Bayern, my point exactly. I said name the last time an IMPORTANT player took the 5th penalty.
Spot the bitters on this thread.
Sad bastards.
Imagine in Moscow that Ronnie was 5th? So Anderson would have gone before him? Bullshit. We all know when Giggs,and Robbo, didn’t step up VS Southampton back in the day during the penos, and Shearer took the winner. We know something wrong had gone down. Same tonight. Ronnie Reject bottled it if he accepted 5th pen. Wasn’t he suppoed to be the saviour? Your big player WANTS to stand up and lead by example, not wait for the 5th. That doesn’t even happen on Sunday mornings in the park.
Yeah, quite obvious isn’t it willie?
Forgot to say, top top post at 20:58. No need for me to say who’s it from.
everydayislikesunday – you’re talking shite there I’m afraid. The penalty takers are decided and the referee notified of the order before the shoot-out begins. Bruno Alves and Nani obviously got muddled up.
Now for the example you asked for: Fabregas tonight, Drogba in the 2012 European Cup Final, Fabregas in the Euro 2008 quarter-finals, Giggs in the 2008 European Cup Final, Del Piero in the 2006 World Cup Final, Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2006 World Cup quarter-finals, Kaka and Shevchenko in the 2005 European Cup Final, Del Piero and Shevchenko in the 2003 Europan Cup Final, Roberto Baggio in the 1994 World Cup Final…
Quite a few knob heads on here tonight. Say that because seen a lot of new names dishing out shit as per usual. Nobody knows why Ronaldo didn’t take one of the first 4 penalties, except for the Portuguese coach and Ronaldo himself. So to have a dig because it makes you feel better just makes you look like a bunch of cunts really.
He went first vs Bayern I believe and missed perhaps that was part of the thinking.
GuillemBalague
….. Ronaldo brave to take 5th too as Cesc.Too many people talk from result.Hindsight,what a wonderful thing. Ronaldo, a leader
Finally, a sensible thing from Balague
And Costas, how do you know Alves got confused? Did you have the list of takers? Do you have a bit of a green grocer’s mind? Nothing worse than Mr ‘I was there.’
And Fred has hit the nail on the head with his post at 23.39. Quite a list of footballers you mentioned. I’m sure they’ve won the odd couple of trophies during their career.
everydayislikesunday – talking yet more shite. If Ronnie went 5th in Moscow it would have changed nothing, as he missed the 3rd penalty. Plus Anderson scored his penalty with aplomb, so I’m not really sure what your point is.
If Ronnie had declined to take a penalty at all in Moscow we’d have won the shoot-out sooner than we did.
Bitters using our players nicknames is really sad. They all at heart want to be Reds.
“”It’s very difficult when you know your team worked very well and did everything they can do. When it goes to penalties you can do nothing, sometimes you get unlucky, and this is football,” said Nani.
“Congratulations to Spain. My teammate hit the bar. He thought it was his turn but the coach told me it was my turn. It didn’t affect me I was always confident. The coach had already made his mind up about the order before the shoot-out but there was confusion between me and Bruno.”
http://www.soccerladuma.co.za/news/article/nani-we-gave-it-our-all
Nothing worse than a Mr Know it all with no manners.
Wow, now he’s taking even more shit. We know Alves got confused because it’s against the rules to change the order of your penalty takers, or for a player to suddenly decide in the middle of a shoot-out that he is taking one, as you suggested.
Fred & NRD
They’re city fans! Check the post at 23.31? edc…
Plus, Anderson struck the 6th penalty for United in Moscow. Good points Fred and NRD.
@Everydayislikesunday
Alves got sent back, so obviously on the list he was suppose to be after Nani. How hard to understand is that? I guess its too hard for you
My head is spinning lolololol. So sad but at the same time so proud of my national team. Well done Selecao!!!Few believed we would be in the semis. So I am a very proud portuguese
To those who don’t understand the logic about Cristiano being last on the penalties I will try and explain. He is usually first and is our penalty taker but his confidence is low because he missed a penalty against Turkey just before Euro2012. In Portugal he was hugely criticised for always being the first. I feel sorry for him,he is damned if he does.damned if he doesn’t. I think the miss in Munich also plays in his mind.
As you may guess, I won’t blame him (last thing I would ever do). If it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t be where we were tonight. So thank you again seleccao.
Today we gave our all, our first half for me was amazing the only thing missing was the goal. But football sometimes is also luck and lady luck wasn’t on our side.
Good luck to Spain. I will go and drink so more now lololol
@Costas,thank you so much mate.
Portugallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
23.11, 23.16 are bitters too. Spot their stench easy.
Costas – One title and they show up! Bitters logic…
Willie – yeah, you’re probably right. That occurred to me when he scoffingly mentioned that Anderson would have had to take a penalty in Moscow, when any United fan knows that Anderson DID take a penalty in Moscow, and scored. He’s a dick whatever team he supports.
Fred Says:
Fabregas tonight (not their saviour, more hod carrier, Inesta, Alonso, they were the men, 2nd and 1st respectively;
Drogba in the 2012 European Cup Final, bottled it, and eventually had to take one
Fabregas in the Euro 2008 quarter-finals, bottled it. as, a. kid
Giggs in the 2008 European Cup Final, not 5th, 7th, I’ll let you draw your own conclusions, but why Nani and Anderson B4 Giggs? This is exactly what I’m taking about and I love Giggsy. By your logic he was hanging back for that important 7th pen.
Del Piero in the 2006 World Cup Final, he took the 4th, Pirlo – know him? – he took the first
Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2006 World Cup quarter-finals, kid then
Roberto Baggio in the 1994 World Cup Final. I’ll give you that one, and argue that – pace tonight – as team totem he should have taken the first one, and they might have won
@ WRN – Ah just scrolled back and read it all. Still stand by what I said “still a cunt.”
Glad I miss the final on Sunday. Stone Roses will be far more entertaining than watching snoozefest in the final irrespective of who wins Germany vs Italy.
portugueseprincess Your lads played brilliantly today. You should have heard the BBC feed, wondering where this lad Nani had been.
A Seleção jogou de forma brilhante hoje!
Ronnie had a brilliant tournament as well. Folks should stop slagging him at internationals.
thank you for noticing cedars
IT COUL BE WORSE,YOU COULD BE SCOUSE,EATING RATS IN A COUNCIL HOUSE
@Willie
That’s probably one bitter during those 5 minutes. Nice to see them finally out of their shells. Only took them 44 years.
@portugueseprincess
Heh, nice to see you upbeat. It’s a bit disappointing because Portugal weren’t going to get another chance like this to knock out Spain. Bento read the game very well I thought. The penalty procedure, not so much. Anyway, congrats on a very good campaign. Hopefully it will be an even better one at your back yard in 2 years.
By the way Children, I’m fucking red through and through, and I don’t suck up to primadonnas that fuck off to patures new and I point out when their character is flawed precisely as proof of why they were failed as Reds. So fuck you for jumping a bandwagon and assuming that criticism of Ronalso was criticism of United
How is taking the 5th penalty bottling it? You still don’t seem to have grasped the concept that penalty takers are not decided on the fly during a shoot-out.
I can just imagine Roy Keane now, dragging Ireland to the World Cup finals in 2002, scoring singular goals against Portugal and Holland, and suddenly a whole campaign coming down to a penalty shoot out (yeah, I know it doesn’t happen in qualifers but for the sake of a comparable example ) and he looks at Kenny Cunningham and Richard Dunne and Gary Breen and says ‘sure boss, I’ll take the 5th one.’
Ronaldo didn’t bottle it – he wanted the glory/responsibility of scoring to send Portugal through.
Yeah, Ronaldo. What a failed red. And you justified that so immaculately.
HE SAYS TO THE MANAGER I’M TAKING THE FIRST ONE – OR AN EARLY ONE – TO INVIGORATE TEAM MATES AND DEMORALISE THE OPPOSITION. HE DOESN’T ACCEPT THE 5TH, UNLESS – MY ARGUMENT – HE’S REALLY BOTTLING IT
I don’t care whether you’re red, blue or anything else; your hypothesis about Nani stepping up to the plate and taking the penalty off Bruno Alves was the most stupid thing I’ve ever read on any football blog or forum.
You called a United fan, a cunt? Give yourself away, you silly bastard.
I would say putting your bravest & best penalty taker 5th and letting your team mates get you there as a sign of trusting your team mates, is that wrong? Don’t even compare this to Terry, he was never a penalty taker.
Some people just live their lives hating others, what a sad life they have
Potrugeuse Princess says:
‘To those who don’t understand the logic about Cristiano being last on the penalties I will try and explain. He is usually first and is our penalty taker but his confidence is low because he missed a penalty against Turkey just before Euro2012.’
I rest my fucking case. Goodnight
course they’re fuckin bitters lads. i can smell the knob cheese jealousy and failure off them from a mile off
Even though I don’t agree with the way this guy is making his point, I do think it was a bad idea for Ronaldo to go 5th. However, as our native Portuguese friend has explained, there was some reasoning behind it other than Ronnie “bottling it” or being an egomaniac.
Putting a person low on confidence on 5th? Wow, what a smart ass. You do have a brain the size of….
Way back to the bluemoon paranoid state. Twat!
So he’s a bottler right? And instead of asking to be taken off the shootout entirely, he asks for the 5th and potentially most crucial penalty of them all. Oh but no. He had a plan. He was hoping that it wouldn’t go that far. You can see him celebrating after Alves missed his penalty and Fabregas scored his.
If NASA is looking for new geniuses, we have one here.
Nevermind Ronnie, how about Nani’s penalty?
Ooof!
@Fred
Yeah it was a mistake. Bento got the order all wrong.
cant fault bento tho cause his team played awesome for 90 mins so fair play t him. also fuck off bitters
Spanish players seem fitter than everyone else. Extra time they should have won it. Penalties are always a lottery! Night.
It’s so frustrating that Portugal had such a great chance to beat Spain and they blew it. All they needed was five players who could score a penalty! Is that so much to ask?
I actually thought they were going to do it with that counter attack in the last minute of normal time. The Ronnie of old – United Ronnie
– would have buried that chance.
Rui Patricio was class btw.
triple pussy wow Cedars and Willie are the Men, I now a girl who has 2 Vagina’s..
how spain got to the final playing like that I will never know, portugal really played some great stuff. I really hope either italy or germany win the euro’s especially Germany The germans really deserve to win a major tournament, they have been sensational since 06
Portugal expected the performance but Portugal didn’t expect to lift the trophy. Forget our media, tonight was another step in the right direction for them as a national squad. This game was like Bra v Arg on many levels so Nani was class all things considered. He grew into the match and performed well in every game played. Hopefully he returns unscathed and rightfully holding his head higher. Won’t comment on Ronaldo but from a United perspective must say he attempted to find Nani loads of times. Why Pele Blanco doesn’t play the same supporting role has always been odd, we all know Nani can do a Rooney on either foot when he’s’ got the ball centrally?
I wanted him to perform the most out of our players and he’s done United proud. Expect more progress this season and he’s honestly got as good a shout as anybody to wear the number 7.

Thanks for that prophetic wisdom Alan…..
Course, Alan doesn’t know about our Tom Cleverley and his mates Danny, Phil, the Keanes, Tunni, and Amos….. Team United to the rescue
they call him throat wobbler cause his throat wobbles whenever a penis goes down it lol
@ 3 lions
Listen, you anti-semite, no one actually “calls” me “Throatwobbler.” You see, my name might be spelled “Throatwobbler,” but It’s really pronouned “Raymon Luxury Yacht.” So there.
Just came accross this lovely Turkish Airlines advert featuring the United lads. Seems old, but still loved it.
VDS, Berbs and Scholesy are just pure class!!

MOUTINHO TO UNITED!!!
wdnt be very expensive,box to box midfielder…great all round game…we should sign this guy up seriously talented lad…
he will almost certainly leave porto after this tournament…i hope we go in for him and use our portuguese connections,coz boy can he play..
hard luck to portugal btw..they played really well…i knew alves wd miss tho,could tell from his face,hes the titus bramble type of player,good at clearing and heading,but cant shoot or pass for shit…
ahh well…FORZA ITALIA FORZA AZZURI
imagine moutinho linking up with carric and kagawa thats possesion galore…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh can we please buy him?!!!
great from his lisbona dayz i remember him being best under 21 player a few years back
I here Man Utd is getting Messi. I always thought they had their house in order.
Mess EEEEEEEEEE!
Whats the deal though. Made you say dildo. hehe in a way, you must say it very fast with no break. Dealthough.
The next time you call a friend at work say Richard Goesinu is your name. Just tell him Dick is calling. I will go something like this. Dick Goesinu is on line 2.
Ohh fucking gutted that spain is in the final. People and media go mad and term spain as the best. I seriously think spain winning tournaments with this style of play is not healthy for football. Playing with No striker and playing such a boring game is anti football. Its not like they are dominating their opponents because yesterday portugal were better than them.
When you look at the past WC winning sides and compare them with todays Spain side you will notice Football has become boring. The world and european champion are boring side to watch and it is not a good thing when that happens.
Morning all
So my curse strikes again………sigh
So Spain win again…….sigh
Really happy for soren though, a RED that was supporting Spain, so well done to her but commiserations to Portugueseprincess
I am seriously afraid to pick a winner tonight, the team that I know can beat the Spanish!!
I have to give special praise to nani. He is special. The penalty he took was awesome. Man it takes some guts to ask other player to come back and and take penalty. Nani did that yesterday. Hats off NANI.

I think we will be fool enough to sell him. Offer this boy a new contract and make him play here for nes\xt 4-5 years. Nani earned a lot of respect in my eyes after his gutsy show yesterday.
Hey where have People of RoM gone? My Indian brothers and other RoM geniuses where are you?
Morning, lads!
Fuck the euros for a moment, aren’t we supposed to be signing Baines today?
Hey one of my Indian brother is here. Morning Jeet. Regarding baines not sure iif we need him. I will love if we give fabio and fryers the chance to shine . If we are to sign a LB then I will go for alba. Pretty impressed with him.
How lucky were spain yetserday. Ronnies’s facial expresssion after the loss told everything about the luck of spain.
Whats this news that is going on about us bidding 30 million on James Rodriguez. Really one good season and he is worth 40 millions. Crazy market. If he is worth so much then how much will be Nani.
Sir Alex will never spend 30 odd millions on a unproven player.
Indian brothers my Lebanese ass………..
Seriously though, I am getting concerned here, should I be worried? Every team (apart from Greece v Russia) that I have backed has lost……Are there medications of sorts to be rid of curses? Should I speak to Jack Sparrow again?
I really felt sorry for Nani yesterday and at some level even Ronaldo
Harish, OK! OK! We get it that Nani is special. You didn’t have to post it three times for us to realize that.
Either ways, let the wanking begin. The media is going to be masturbating all over Spain for the foreseeable future. I find that fucking annoying. Pass, pass and fucking pass. Then pass and then pass. Seriously, the most fucking boring type of football ever invented. Not pro-active at all. And the media wank over them as if it is the best style of football ever invented.
Germany deserve to win this tournament. Their football is pro-active. They actually get things done with the possession they have and it is fucking exciting watching their movement off the ball, with players cutting inside, intelligent runs, and incisive passes cutting right through the opponent’s defense. I must admit I haven’t seen a lot of these Euros but Germany are the only team I am even remotely interested in.
I hope Germany fuck Spain in the final.
Cedars
Behave don’t call us lebanese ass. I will sue you in lebanese court.
I know my over admiration of RvP pisses off a few on here, to be honest that makes it more enjoyable!! ha ha ha……..But come on, his finishing is second to none and I know we will never see him in a United shirt, but dear God what a thought
Balaji
I am afraid Spain will win it mate, simply because I do not want them to…..
Balaji
Well said.It would be great for football if germans wins the Euro. They deserve it an dhave been playing magnificently for past 6 years. But I can bet the spanish side will make the final boring as fuck.
I remember WC final it was fuck as boring. The robben shit should have scored in that match.
If i am not wrong didn’t the crowd boo the spain yesterday whenever they had the ball possession. Boring as fuck team.
Harish
Yeah they were booed majority times. I think now even the spanish players are realising that they are boring and that is affecting their game now. Yesterday if portugal were little more better in passing and finishing (God their striker almeida is horrible) then they could have beaten spain.
I think this time germany will beat Spain if they go past the italian machine.
Harish
What’s up dude, you chilling away? High fives all around…….
Oh dear heaven above I hate that lingo
” The coach is the one to pick penalties takers and I was the fifth,if it was my call I’ll be the first. ” That comment was by Cristiano “The Bottler” Ronaldo.
For soren I would hope Italy or Spain, I know she supports them………..Personally I cannot bring my self to support the Germans (Which may be a good thing)
Out of the three teams left the Italians are the most fun, funny as fuck they are
Costas
Morning mate, yeah I read them pathetic posts from last night………… Willie had it figured out though
Cedars
Don’t dare to support the germans. You will spoil everything
Ash
Haha I laughed very much when you mentioned about almeida. He was horrible. But I agree with you that germans could beat spain this time. I hope they do for the benefit of football.
Harish – I have thrown many a tantrum about the LB position on here…IMO, Fabio is more than an able deputy for Evra…
Good news for all those wanting the Germans to go on and win it, I have decided to support Italy tonight, memories of 82 just came flooding back when they raped the living day lights out of what was then West Germany
Come ON Italy
By the way, over the course of the Euros, did you guys get the feeling that Xavi seems to fading a bit? Doesn’t seem to be controlling things and doesnt get forward as much as he used to – maybe its tiredness/injury hangover, or are my eyes deceiving me?
The thing that bugs me about the Spain wankfest is the notion that they are an attractive side to watch. Like fuck they are. They were a bit easy on the eyes when Aragones was in charge and they won Euro 2008. THey scored 12 goals in that tournament. The Del Bosque took over. At the 2010 World Cup they scored 4 goals in the 3 group matches and then won the 4 knockout games by 1-0 (Arsenal anyone?). And in this tournament, they scored once against Italy and Spain (and basically against France) and drew blanks against Portugal. The only game where they really cut loose was against the Republic.
So yeah, I can’s see where the entertainment is coming from. Unless your thing is pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass.
“Hola amigos” – that language better for you, you “leabanese ass”
gutted that spain won – admired portugal for taking it to the Spanish last night. Barely got a shot on goal.
But what a player that Jordi Alba is! Scampering across the field even after 118 mins of game time! hats off to him!
and Sad for Nani as well. Showed plenty of character that boy. Did something not every tom dick and harry can do. Liked his penalty as well. Bordering on unstoppable. I remember him being sent on during the 07-08 CL final as well to take the penalty as a 18-19 yr old. Showed composure then too. Chuffed at his performance and heart.
I meant they scored once against Italy and Croatia.
@Cedars
Hi mate. Trolls with no life. THey pop up every now and then. At least they should try to make for an interesting debate instead of sounding like utter twats.
Come ON Italy do it for Maldini
Do it for Tardelli
Do it for Albotelli
Do it for PASTA you fucking beauties
Do it for the God Father for fucks sake!! ha ha ha
Costas
You and I have been around this place long enough and we have seen our share of trolls mate…….Just goes to show that there are some truly sick fucking freaks out there
Jeet
Age is catching up with Xavi. But He is a great player and a great person. Both Iniesta and xavi are pure gentlemen. Perfect Fit to be a united player. People praise messi but undermine the contribution of these two midfeilders.
lets support the germans then at least they play attractive football, unlike some shits who just park the midfielders in and win on penalties afterwards (+ got schweinsteiger = man utd fan in german squad)
moutinho was really impressive for portugal in every game i watched, why not sign him if utd are looking for a midfielder, and i believe he can come in for aroud 25m unlike the price of modric which is now reaching about 40m
The Italians are often accused of being corrupt, that offends me in a way because they are very much like the Lebanese! ha ha ha We have similar backgrounds and cultures, pretty much like the Greeks as well….
The Mediterranean rock my world
25 million for moutinho? Yeah I also like him and won’t mind if we sign him but not for 25 million. I doubt SAF will bid that much for moutinho. I may be wrong .
Morning RoM,Portugal OVERACHIEVED if u asked me.They gave as good as they got against the Madrid/Barca collabo that is Spain who can be quite a pain.I cant sincerely tell the clubsides of 80 percent of the portuguese nt.As for Ronaldo’s insistence on taking the last kick: THAT is what all the greats do.Ask drogba.As far as I’m concerned no kick is more pressurised than the next.Spain progress and fairplay to them.Playing without a recognised striker while having a surplus of strikers on the bench must have had Bento wondering how some could have excess while others feed on scraps.Portugal were badly in need of a reliable centre forward.CR7 was constrained to play as both a winger and de facto striker.What Bento would have done to have had a Llorente on his teamsheet?!Frm my perspective,any team frm the three remaining would b a worthy champion.To those who consider Spain being boring,I daresay the same has bn said about Utd with the diff being we are considered as being able to play only down the wings and not being able to penetrate thru the middle.Still,we know better.So,to each his own opinion.Take care MG.U are healed in Jesus Christ I pray.Amen.
Come to think of it imagine if we had a Mediterranean national side? Fuck me side ways, the likes of Costas, myself and some freaky Sicilians would all be on the same side!!
Ash
Very well said @ 7:21. I heard that we bid 30 million for james rodriguez and porto rejected that and are asking for 40 million which is his buy out clause. 40 million! Seriously one good season and you are worth 40 millions.
Who on God’s earth is James Rodriguez? I have and in all honesty never heard of him
the rodriguez lad is good, but the clause in his contract is overpricing him really, with that money we could go for 2 players. also saf could have a look at sahin, the lad has a big potential but is wasting it at madrid so far.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Rodr%C3%ADguez_(footballer)
Here is the 40 million worth kid.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/1862/premier-league/2012/06/28/3205759/manchester-united-end-interest-in-modric-as-tottenham-star-edges-?
One more saga ends. Who don’t we try and get Sahin. He could come cheap and do a great job for us.
Sorry its why
Ach disappointed with that was sure Portugal would beat them.
Come on, enough with all this transfer talk, where is the support for Italy? The Azzuries, the Pasta kings…..
@Cedars at 08:08
Ha, scary thought indeed. No one could stop us.
@Cedars:
I love pasta, but not the catenaccio
I think the Italians will be somewhat tired for this game after their extra-time + shootout with England, so favs for me to go on are the Hitler-boys (unless Pirlo slots in another panenka during the game to open the score and then switch to catenaccio-mode)
The world of football is full of unfair travesties is it not? World cups 74 & 78, best and most entertaining team losing both finals…….World cup 82, the best team that ever played the game gets knocked out…..Thank fuck for Brazil 70, they maintain the smallest of threads of belief that international football has a meaning to me
Costas
Could you imagine it? A national side made up of Lebanese, Greek and Italian players?? ha ha ha
Just think of the lunch time arguments!!
lordrt
I am supporting Italy for more reasons than meets the eye mate………Nice one with the catenaccio comment!!
One of the best football players to have played the game is Socrates (RIP) I genuinely love the man
@Cedars
Heh, our team would never be fit with all the food possibilities.
Costas
I tried to make a list of the dishes involving all three countries but I could not!! With out doubt the best cuisine in the world…………I could add Chinese and Indian into that then we are fucked!!

Really excited to see kagawa in action.
have to laugh at the hating on Spain. anti football I hear. Really? England and Greece must have been irresistible.
have to laugh at Ronaldo too. an absolute mug. who wanted alp the glory, the winning penalty, do he hangs back waiting to the the savior when as captain he should have been in the top 3 takers. The guy plays for himself and expects everyone else to do the same.
kiss that world footballer of the year good bye Ronnie
@Slim
It’s not anti football in any way. But it is boring. For all the talent this team has, their style of play infuriating. I appreciate teams like Germany and Portugal a lot more. At least their plan is to attack directly and not pass the ball to death.
*is infuriating*
As for Ronaldo, I think this clears things up a bit:
‘I was going to take the fifth penalty but we missed two,’ Ronaldo said. ‘It was just a question of me speaking with the coach. He said to me: “Do you want to take the fifth one?” and I said “yes”.
‘Sometimes I take the first, the second or the third. I agreed to take the fifth.’

slim
Have to laugh at your comment because I am assuming that you are taking the piss……Unless you have only been watching football for 5 years which of course is incorrect no??
Spain are boring as fuck mate, want exciting football? Try watching United or any other team I have mentioned already on this thread
costas
when you’re defending a title and your opponents are gunning for glory. this sort of thing happens. the defending year never really as good as when you won it – Exception being United ofcourse. I think we had a freak couple of seasons like that. if I’m correct o think Ronnie was still with us but I digress.
Believe me im sick of way the media and the rest brown nose but honestly when I hear people complain about their passing or how boring they are reminds me of people who ascribed to the notion that United. titles have been Lucky or worse that we’re a kick and hoof team.
This “boring” phase will pass. they’ll either become a better squad or will decline.it’s a journey. for me thats just what the game is about.
@slim
Don’t know if it has a lot to do with them being defending champions. Sure you’re never as hungry the 2nd or 3rd time around, but it’s still a side with a lot of top class midfielders in their prime. I just think it’s how they like to play. I mentioned it earlier, but their style wasn’t any better in 2010 when all their knockout ties were won 1-0. Wasn’t this reason enough for most people to call Arsenal boring back in the day.
For all their possession, in my opinion Spain don’t attack a lot. Under Del Bosque anyway. With Aragones in charge, they seemed more ambitious in 2008. I won’t blame any team for how the way they set up. You play to your strengths. I said it about Greece and England too. I just don’t find Spain’s way entertaining as a neutral. Others do. And that’s fine of course.
no doubt. they’re much difficult to watch but there’s still a lot of quality that entertains.
Iniesta for one had been a star. and the ready have been quality too.
fact is they’re playing without strikers an while that can rub off the wrong way it also says a lot about how strong the midfielders are. Gonna be all done soon anyway and the summer can really begin with transfer fever taking center stage.
Good morning cedars
I’m really disappointed about yesterdays result
But at the same time proud of the boys, they did every just right to win the match but the luck wasn’t on there side last night.
The tik-tak brigade were played out off there half
They had almost no clue of how to break down the portugal defense. How cruel was that
Alves took well his pen and it came off the crossbar n the post, but fabregas scuffed his yet it still went in.
Ronaldo was a bit irresponsible on that note, he should of went ahead of alves, cause it was all clear to see that the letter was a bit shaky hence nani stopped him from executing the 3rd
I’m fucking disappointed. Today I’m gonna cheer for the better team on the night hopefully that will do good in seeing those spaniard getting ripped off in the final. Cheers!!!!
