Ashley Young has reiterated the point about the importance of experience, claiming that the likes of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes command respect in the dressing room.
“The younger players have taken over this season, with their music and general loudness,” he said. “But if someone like Ryan Giggs or Paul Scholes starts talking we all sit down and listen. I asked the boys about Scholesy as soon as I joined and they said he was unbelievable in training. He still pings the ball around like you wouldn’t believe.”
United went five points clear with help from Young’s goal at Blackburn on Monday and our winger claims the pressure has always been on City this season.
“The pressure has always been on City — there aren’t any nerves coming from our side,” he said. “We don’t play with fear and we haven’t got any nervousness going into games. We’ve got the momentum going into the final stretch of the season.”

time to go for te jugular!!…come on!!#mufc is te best.
i love you all
And I listen to you Ashley, that goal on Monday showed what you are all about, keep em coming son….
tom c
We love you too!
Excellent to hear they still get the respect they deserve, both are fucking legends.
I think we would all be creaming ourselves if either of them scored the winner again Shitty at the Emptihad.
I am in awe of Ashley Young myself. He scores fantastic and important goals! Go for it Ashley!

United have the spirit and don’t fall into the trap of believing the media hype. Long may it last. Bitters are convinced the media are persecuting them. Now they are not automatically front page news for catching a cold. We are the media flavour of the month now but u never trust the cunts anyway.
Well said Ashley, another excellent piece of business bringing him in. SAF strikes again.
Both goals are up there with the best of the PL season
You better listen to them veterans. After all, they were there when Newcastle crumbled like City have this season.
Lets not lose focus though. Now is the most crucial time of the season. Don’t know why, but winning the next 3 (within a week) games sounds a bit out of reach. Especially the Wigan one. We have a perfect record against them, but they always raise their game against the big sides when their survival is on the line. If we do pick up 9 points in the next 3, then City have it all to do.

Hi pal, my 2 personal favorite moments from that season, the win at Saint James and of course the famous Keegan outburst, classic. Sir Alex totally destroyed him
I’drather be where we are now than where we were last month, however, I do think the press are going overboard on the whole United love in. The articles are like the ones you get in May. We are only 5 points ahead with 21 points still to play for. TWENTY ONE!! That’s a lot of points! One slip and it’s back in their hands so fully focussed please from now to Sunderland!! Cheers.
@Cedars
Hi mate. Here’s the funny thing. Sir Alex doesn’t do a lot for most of the season. The so called mind games came into effect on the last week of that season. Newcastle, like City this season, just overestimated their mental toughness for the final run in. They outpsyched themselves basically. City have actually been a funnier embarassment. They’ve imploded in every way possible. Not just with their results. And the best part? It started happening after Tevez returned.
come on you reds.
come on you reds.
don’t lose your bottle, just keep your heads.
we are the devils in red,you know
we’re man utd, here we go.

Thing is with the boss is he never starts it, he is so intelligent that he will just throw a snide remark every now and then which gets under their skin…. It was Vieira who got the ball rolling this season and all you need to do is watch how Fergie replied in his press conference, smile on his face and sarcastic as can be. Do these idiots never learn?
If they just focused on themselves they might do better
Ashley Young is exactly the sort of player I love at United, hard working, professional, effective and of course brilliant to watch. His shooting is a work of art, his first goal against Arsenal in The Thrashing was a thing of beauty, perfect technique, perfectly flighted, unstoppable. And he’s done it since then too. There is a quiet effectiveness about his play, which contrasts to the effervescent style of Nani, but it can be just as pleasing on the eye when it works. Reminds me of Scholes in that regard, no messing about, just good work with spots of brilliance mixed in.
I can see him doing really well for us because he’s grounded and good natured. He doesn’t get into trouble and he doesn’t run his mouth. Another great buy.
I am getting annoyed with over references and links from the Blueshite sites….Whether you go their to post to have a dig or read to have laugh it does not matter..
We have a go at them when they come here and call them obsessed with us…. How is being at their place every day any different?
The mere thought of reading any bollocks from those twats sickens me, funny or not
@Cedars
Well Vieira should know better. He’s seen this before. City in general had no idea what they were in for. After the derby game in October, I started speculating whether they’d take us lightly from now on. It didn’t happen then, but they eventually made that mistake after the cup game in January. Talking about moral wins and probably thinking that unlike us at OT, they didn’t get demolished when they were down to 10 men. That was when they finally overestimated themselves. And then agent Carlos took care of the rest.
Cedars –
I agree its quality and not quantity.
Hey !
I am a teenager in terms of support NOT A BABY.
TRUE STORY; (From last Monday)
Mr Friend asked me “Your too much of a die hard United fan its bad, Would you give your legs for the league?”
I said; ” Yes, With Modern Technology, I’ll have new legs by the end of the year !”
He was shocked because we know someone that is disabled which is tad insensitive, but I’m deadly serious
Then my lady friend asked; “What if I got my friends to give you 1 night of crazy sex and you quit supporting United as payment?”
I Said; ” 1 night,? Hmm can I watch United during this sexiful night?”
Its all banter, but if it came down to it I’d choose United, being happy is the most important thing for me (Violins outs
)
The only way I’d give up United is if something life changing happened and I had to prioritise my obsession into the odd game a month, but it happens eventually doesn’t it? If Natalie Portman asked me then we have a dilemma.
Anyways……….UNITED TILL I FRICKING DIE
Was reading on the city thread bluemoon and they said something that really hit home to me and all utd fans too, when fergie goes were gone , were finished we will go like Liverpool when shankly and paisley left, so to all utd fans here enjoy it while it lasts , cause when ferguson goes so will utd!!
@MikeKelly @12.45
Absolutely spot on with that comment, there is so much more to do with those fixtures I can see dropped points, we ain’t giong to win every game. 21 points is a serious total at this stage.
Things look good so far but things can easily change. The divine right to win games doesnt come just from having the name Manchester United.
I’d like to air on the side of caution for this moment.
@Clint
Similar conversations happen in my house with one of my mates, he says football rules my life, even down to which products I buy, which just happens to be the way it is. With sacrifice comes strength although without a leg I’m sure we’d find a way
Mark
Although times may be different for a while, we’ll never die. We will always move on through sheer grit and determination. United will go nowhere. The Family ties which embody the great Manchester United will be firmly in place for a long time to come.
Brigadier19 I take your point mate but think we” ll fall like a stone when he retires, hope Im wrong but he’s holding the club together under the pressure from the glazers, personally I think he will leave this season if we win the league, because we will never win Europe again with this team.
Oh yeah of little faith!
Fergie is laying a foundation that will sustain UTD for the next 10 yrs atleast.
De Gea, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Hernandez, Da Silva twins, Cleverly, Pogba, Petrucci, Valencia, Welbeck, Keane brothers are all under 25 yrs.Even if Fergie retires the winning mentality will not retire with Fergie, he is busy drilling that into UTD youngsters.
Sir Alex will definitely be mindful of this and i am sure he already has a plan in place, who knows Giggs could be our next Guardiola. watch this space ! ! ! ! ! !
off topic!
The worst thing that happened to football is Barcelona. The way they manipulate match officials is already legendary. add to that the diving and simulation, it seems these players are featherweght, rolling about at the slightest touch then mobbing the ref to have a call go their way.
I stopped watching their game yesterday after the second penalty and i’ve vowed to never bother again.
Such a disgrace
Mark
Taking the pessimistic view which I fully understand. I mean how can you not worry when the great man retires. Who comes in is going to be crucial without doubt and yes he’s performing miracles with the glazer pressure. Hang On one second you mention the pressure from the Glazers. Do you mean that this team is rubbish due to the glazers, funds etc. If none of these apply I apologise for my presumptions but please elaborate!
I for one see a lot of promise in this team especially with the likes of The Da Silva’s, Crissy Smalls, Johnny Evans, Phil Jones, Tony V, De Gea, Pogba (?), Fryers, Petrucci, Keane and so on and so forth. Youth has always been the United way, long before Ferguson back to Busby for instance.
Ferguson has done this season what not many managers could do, he has hauled us up the table having been ravaged by injuries to key personel but his man management skills are second to none this we would miss in these circumstances without doubt I agree to some extent about his importance. He will leave the club in good hands but a little rollercoaster ride may well be on the cards for a while too.
Re my comment at 14.02.
The Importance of Sir Alex can not be understated
@Clint: Natalie Portman doesnt hold a frigging candle to Giggsy

More relative to Ashley Young and the team with that mad passing spree
theredderdevil
I see you made the same post on the Edwards thread, why? That was very disrespectful…
Furthermore who gives a flying fuck about Barca

Mate I keep rubbing my eyes looking for a post from you at 14:02! ha ha
Their music? No doubt shit R and B!
Mark – Of course it will be difficult but thats why I think Fergie will pass it on to someone like Giggs or Ole who know what its all about to be at United. Not some fly by night like Mourinho. Liverpool are a different kettle of fish. Still in a shithouse little stadium, shit youth system, this bit sounds awful but true United have been marketed the right way. Liverpool are an irrelebvant club now. We will be fine.
Brigadier19
We can hop to OT in hope of a free ticket/ appearance from SAF, I hear he is mellowing must be the best time to ask for a free cap.
Lets comment on this thread and not disrespect the great thread about Duncan Edwards.
Cedars you’ll have a job finding it this dumb bastatd fucked up 14.01 haha
Clint
No disrespect intended on my part regarding posts on that thread bud.
A thoroughly good thread and some powerful statements from yourself.
Immortal Indeed.
in response to the worrying devil worshippers, i believe that when our lord SAF calls time, i firmly believe that ole’s gunner solve it, with sir (just a matter of time) ryan of gigglepin as second in command, or maybe the KING will kung fu his way in,we wont end up as a joke like shiterfool.
Brigadier19
Should your post at 15:19 been addressed to me instead of Clint? Is so get on the meds and quickly ha ha! Only person I found disrespectful was addressed a few posts up on this thread, talking about Barca on a thread paying tributes to the dead….
Brigadier19
I think we both need to use the word ‘thread’ less often!
Brigadier19
That wasn’t targeted at you mate Ooops, I was agreeing with Cedars that we should comment here in respect.
Thanks though
So we sticking on here for now then fellas?
Cedars
Clint @ 15.05 addressed a message to me the disrespect line was included in that. Paranoia must have set in. Need to lay of the meds don’t you mean. Check out the documentary link I put on the other thread. A really good video off youtube. Its a long one about 51 minutes and 9 seconds. A real insight to how life was back then. Great hearing Duncans Mam, Wilf McGuiness and Bill Folkes speaking. Heartwarming. Now where’s those tablets.
My Fault Brigadier19
Should have posted a separate comment .
Mike
Yes we are mate……. Cause here we can say what we want so ….. Fuck off city
Brigadier19
Some thing was lost in translation pal… sorted
Think about the other thread and how emotional it gets us….
Now think about the Munich chanting sheep shagging vile fatherless bastards from across the Pennines …….Get my drift?
Sorry, meant to say I am staying here… Cannot speak for the others
FUCK OFF CITY FUCK OFF CITY FUCK OFF CITY!!! like that you mean Marro.
Whats bothering Cedric grouchy pants now?
Big call there lads , giggs or ole next manager?? Can’t see it somehow! Just cause it worked at barca does not mean it will work for us,@ king Eric pal I hope your right but am very concerned when the boss does go, hope he doesn’t do a dalglish and come back if things are not going well , cheers lads for the replys to my posts!
Tablets taken back on the Waggon.
Just realised how much I hate City just seen Uwe Rossler bag another equaliser to put it to 2 -2 in the 1995/1996 season only to see Giggs bang in a thunderbolt at Maine Road to secure a 3 -2 win.
On other news Reece Brown has stayed on at Oldham on loan till the end of the season.
He’s big He’s bad He’s Wesley Brown,
The hardest man, in all the town,
With orange hair beware come and have a go if you dare.
How do we find another Scholesy????
Monkey
That just about does it… How about WE all HATE leeds scum We all HATE leeds scum we all HATE leeds scum
Brigadier19
I didnt have tickets to that game sow watched it at OT on the big screen!! Fucking brilliant! Keith Curle showing Giggs the outside saying go on, have a go….bang….Pick that out you bitter blue bastard!!
Willie
Grouchy but with a smile on my face, Devil style!
iDON
I believe there’s a discounted offer on them down at M&S
idon
The academy my friend.
Cedars….I think you should come over for the bank holiday weekend in May. 4pm kick off on Sunday 6th May. Get in the boozer at lunch time, could go into town to see Giggs12. Lift the trophy (God willing) then back into town. The ankle biter is on it, just need to get Deano, King Eric and anyone else who fancies it onboard.
I remember that Giggsy goal, I didn’t realize it went in till he turned to celebrate
I dont think curle did either!!
Deano’s gonna lift the trophy? Blimey what an honor
Haha I think he deserves it!!!
Mike
The thought is mouth watering pal, what a day out that would be…. May is a difficult month for me though, got three HR conferences coming up and I need to attend them all to pimp out my work!
New thread lads!
Fuck it! We’ll make a bigger Cedars banner, you can pimp out your work on that.Imagine the exposure it will get at Old Trafford?!!
Ha ha ha! Looking at late August early Sep now, any longer I will die. Need to renew my visa round July time.
Jumping off to the new thread now
This is like a war, if you listed the veterans’ advices you will have more chances to survive to fight another day…
