Frankly, I have to agree that for a match like this Park > Young

@Jeet

Pretty sure Nani's not fit mate.

@Red Nation

Right - either Ashley Young once nobbed your sister, or Park saved her life. Or something.

Young is faster. He's more skilful. He's better at set pieces. He's a better crosser. He can shoot from range better.

Btw, are you also suggesting that Park is better than Nani? Cos that really does take the piss in a rather big way.

All i know is, Park is a big game player. We should give Young the chance to get match fit, before we judge him. He was out for an extended period.

@Jeet - not sure if i need to say but there was nothing personal with my post mate. Im just saying I don't count foreign football fans with more than one EPL shirt as "glory hunters". There was a thread on here about people who support two Clubs and it divided opinion. Personally I never have and never would wear any Club shirt but United, but I know people who wear Club shirts based on where their families come from - Scotland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc. Half the time they don't even follow every game of their "second team", but because of their reasons for wearing the shirt I wouldn't call them glory hunters. In the same way, most football fans in Asia, Africa and elsewhere have local teams they follow first and foremost, so I personally don't really mind them picking a second team from the superior Leagues of Europe, if any thing I respect them for building up their own inferior leagues - as after all the English League was inferior to those on the Continent for yeeeears, just look at the list of European Cup winners. I'd call a glory hunter somebody IN ENGLAND who claims to be a loyal supporter of (for example) Liverpool this season and then claims they are a loyal supporter of Manchester City the following season. Thing is Pal I haven't come across anybody like that since Primary school thats why I made the point! I don't actually know anybody I'd call a glory hunter, as all the City and Chelsea fans I know have always supported those clubs heavily (and I've always been on their necks about it haha)

@NRD - made me laugh about your gang banging old man! And thats "gang banging" as in gun crime not anything else untoward haha.

@Willierednut - cheers pal.

Fuck me I can't wait for tomorrow! Laters Reds.

does anyone know if Nani is back? CLEVERLEEEYYYYYYY. YESSSSS!!!!!

@kanshelskis: shit. no Nani? shit.

The reason I'd prefer Park is because I dont underestimate the dippers for a second. Kyut has had some joy against us in recent times, right? Park's the man. Tactically, Park is way more astute. Way more disciplined. Teams up really well with Giggsy. Insurance for our captain. More composure - knows way better what it means to don the Red shirt on a big match than Young. Wolves last gap goal anyone?

Not a big Young fan, but won't knock him down either. End of day, both are good and very different players. Just that I feel Park's better suited for tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure he's not. Fergie didn't mention him, which suggests he'll miss out.

No Nani? FUCK DAMMIT. what is up with his situation? I need him back tormenting defenders.

@Paul Parker - ohh no, mate, there was nothing personal in what you said! I guess we get what each of us are saying. As I said, I understand kids getting attracted to big succesful clubs. I hate it when someone ditches a loyalty cos the waters are a bit choppy. What next - God forbid, your wife of twenty years falls ill, you take up with the first available bimbo? Peaceout, mate!

@dannysoya @jeet

Don't take my word for it. It could be a cheeky Fergie smokescreen. But this season he's been in the habit of announcing when players are coming back, which is why I assume we won't see him tomorrow. If he is ready, I hope he starts.

I am so pissed off. Must have rung the club 50 times today to try and get a ticket for tomorrow after 2 unsuccessful attempts at the ballot similar to Gorse Hill Red. Guess what they were only selling vermin tickets as part of a 7 game season ticket package like I pointed out yesterday and smartalex did today.

Finally I just thought fuck it I'll buy one of those season ticket things and you know what happened. They sold out but I can get a season ticket for the remaining 6 games. Fucking hate the glazers but something tells me this wouldn't have happened had we treated our opponents with respect in the CL. Pissed off, truly am pissed off.

I think Giggs12 is trying to tell us something at 13:16....! haha

Top quality and one which I believe he innovated

@ Clauton Blackmores Tan - Cracking post mate. Have fun in Amsterdam.

@ kanchelskis - With you on Young, he hasn't even played 20 games and people are on his back your post at 16.13 put a wry smile on my face.

Ryan Giggs what a legend. I don't think he'll make 1000 appearances but to be 2 away from 900 is truly amazing.

@NRD

Glad someone else is with me. He started the season on fire and had stormers v Arsenal and Spurs. I know neither were at full strength, but they were still big games. He also scored a couple of important goals in the CL, but because we were so doomed in that competition, that particular contribution has been pretty much forgotten.

I actually thought he was decent at SB as well, esp for a player coming back after a long lay-off. He forced a good save from Cech, from which anything could've happened from the rebound. And he beat his man to get a cross in a number of times. I really hope he silences a few of the cynics among our fans.

You give the vermin way too much credit. They're going to play 5-4-1 tomorrow and switch to 4-4-2 if the game is close.

Have a moan NRD! He got no ticket! Give the fella a fucking ticket! :)

Not only that kanchelskis. If Rooney had looked up he could have put him through a few times as he was in acres of space on the left hand side. He picked up a knock a just before the norwich game and missed a few games with a similar injury after that the cit-eh game. He has the right attitude as he's made it from not being good enough at Watford to Villa and now United. He hasn't had a silver spoon from being at a PL club since he was 12. For me he probably played through his knock to try and prove himself which would have been commended years ago now.

Some of our fans just need to have a bitch and a moan at some of our players. My theory is anyone who has a squad number with a multiple of 3 gets shit from our fans. That includes Vidic and Fletcher as well because before they lay offs they were getting grief too.

Hi all
Heard my fave player giggsy extended his contract... amazing, made my day
So nani is really gone for 2 months! Bummer but at least cleverley is FINALLY back

Costas February 10, 2012

Our ticketing system is more complex than our medical team and that says a lot. I'll never fully understand it. Sorry to hear you won't make it Notorious.

Regarding the left side tomorrow, if Nani doesn't make it, I think it will be Ashley Young. This is a game where we want to dominate and get on top of them. Not rely mainly on work rate. Not underestimating anyone, but we have to put these fuckers through the sword.

As for Giggs, I said this a couple of days after Scholes returned. Don't be surprised at all if Scholes also extends his contract. Fergie won't let go of him now that he got him back.

This put a smile on my face Peter Coates the Chairman of the chelski northern rent boys supporters club said about Capello.

"I don't see what we've gained under his term as manager,"

Of course you don't Peter after the world class football that you witness every other week at the Britannia. The guy is a fucking fake with his fake plum in mouth posh accent. You are a stokie cunt if your so proud of it speak like it dickhead.

Kanchelskis -
Why insult me? Classless individual. I wont stoop to your low level & reply to you afterr this, your on the same wavelength as KKK & Suarez. An apology would be decent of you, considering you know nothing of my sibling yet reffered to her as part of your arguement.

Take note fellas, have a disagreement with him, he'll fight his corner then throw sand in your eyes.

----------- @Saad....Park has a great role in our matches against the scum & Chelski, if it aint broke don't fix it. The only games Park has actually underperfomed for us is against Barcelona and that is not a fair example because based on that match Van Der Sar is worse than De Gea and Valencia is crap, which not true Lol.

Who would give Vidic grief? He'd murder ya! :D

I like people to give honest views on performances, and not sugar coat anything. In Young's case though, he's only just joined United. Lets give the lad sometime to adjust to life at United. Totally different ball game from life at Villa. Pressure is on all the time to perform at our club. Young will know this already. More to come from him, I'm sure.

No Spurs away ticket for me. The dreaded text came.

Anyway is Ashley Young the new Evans or Gibbo?

NotoriousRedDevil February 10, 2012

Read it on here lads when Vidic was injured there shite spewed such as,

-He's wanted to go with the contract debacle.
-He's lost pace and isn't as good anymore.
-He got shit for his sending off in the CL which was linked in with his pace.

Not sure who posted what but certainly read it.

Maybe the odd comment, but nothing like Gibbo, or Berba.

Lol@Jeet - if your mate who is a die hard "whoever" fan suddenly switches colours and becomes a die hard "whoever else" fan It would be understandable to develop new reservations if asked to lend this fella 20 quid! Nah, if you really support and love a Club you'll follow them right the way down through the lower leagues like all those fans of the lower league Clubs do. Wherever you are in the world thats what you call Support.

*Unless you've got a Cunt like Dalglish in charge of your Club, which in that case you'd happily suffer self-imposed sanctions as a supporter until said Cunt receives the sack! Thats what any self respecting LFC supporter would be privately mulling anyway...

Forget about those racists player/manager/fans.

Sir Alex hit the nail about us being dignified.

So if Suarez was innocent, why didn't they contest the ban?

Enough said
