OFFTOPIC...
Just found this quote from Pepe Reina on Skysports...

"Not many teams have reached the semi-finals twice and two finals - including a title victory - in the last few seasons."

I can think of one....!

bytor13 - This interview was TK's "my old trafford times" the other night on MUTV and looks to be taken out of any context. The interview was very tongue in cheek and TK looked to be joking with most things. However it doesn't alter the fact he has said those things.

@Nectarine - so it's wannabe gangster shit?? What a cunt u are just cos it's rap don't make it wannabe gangsta shit! Come on now if u have an opinion on rio fine but to come with a stupid comment like thats just a ridiculous!!

My view is the season was finished when this was filmed so the fact that he was doing a bit of karaoke in a resteraunt with his mates who actually gives a fuck!!

It looks like he's having a laugh, which is fair enough but he does look a absolute twat.

On brighter note, who ever Kano is, I'd rather here Rio rap, he's shit as well but at least Rio has comedy value.

God knows i'm rock n rooollllll. lol

We have to be realistic here. Fair enough hes a great united player who has served our side brilliantly, and we should praise and appreciate him ever so much. But we cant ignore the fact that rio blatantly is a gangster wanna-be. This is much more clear if you live in the UK because even though most of what you hear or watch on the telly is nothing but total bull crap, some of the stuff isn’t far from the truth. From his magazine to his celebrity status and lifestyle, its all a bit too glamorous and unpleasant for me! And since im not into rap and gangster shit, im not really liking this :/ sorry but don’t hate me for opening up!!

@King Eric - Thanks, I was hoping it was just taken out of context. Saying things like that would do him no favors as far as his future is concerned.

@thereddevil - Just because Kano raps it does not make him
'gangsta' so if you think rio looks a twat fine but to call it 'gangsta' is fucking stupidty!! not all rappers are or claim to be gangstas!!
Let me give u a bit of background on Kano played football for various different academys til he was like 14/15 got dropped chose to pursue music, whilst he was doing this he continued with his education until he had his a-levels! Then he had a choice make music his full time occupation or continue with his education thankfully for me he chose music!! So how does this make it wannabe gangsta shit??
So if u don't know about the man do not label it gangsta shit!!

@Saad - you're a cunt.
@Gazza - you're a cunt.
@Nectarine - you're a cunt.
@JTrappe - you're a cunt.
@KingEric - you're a cunt.

Where the fuck do you get off prying into what people do in their personal time over the holidays? He has no hair to let down but your comments are bang out of fucking line. No doubt you'll be sucking his dick when he's back in form this season helping us to lift another title. Piss off.

First, this was in the summer. Second, he likes 'gangsta/thug' influences (see 50 cent, Lebron, various other rappers). Third, i don't give fuck what he does own his own time...hope this injury spell helps him prioritize his shit! We need him to be on form!

Always Be Closing- As United fans, the only thing important to us is United, and we expect the same attitude from any player that pulls on the famous red shirt. So, we couldn't care less about his off-field activities as long as he delivers the goods on the pitch. If he did this im the summer, it's okay, but if this was done during this season, it's wrong because he should be focusing on improving his poor current form. And by the way, calling someone a cunt for voicing their opinion makes you a bit of one as well.

"Kano & Rio Ferdinand perform a Karaoke version of Kano's new single Rock N Roller during the summer break from the football season."

what ifs could it be?
it's okay for me. he is spending his free time as he wants. he was filmed, this went to youtube and this shit happens. i don't see too much wrong in this. there are no angels in here except Kaka :)

I taught this Always Be Closing chap was manunitedchampions2008 last week,
@Always Be Closing
Rio is doing off field stuff left right and centre and his form is taking a huge hit because of it , he has a back problem that keeps coming up and it maybe that he's not resting it right due to time off from united is been takin up by it. if he stops this shit or calms down on it, because everyone needs a life, Then hopfully his form will hit the best of the last 2 seasons . . . .then people can praise him again

@ GHHT

i don't think drinking 2 bottles of beer does any harm to his back.
we don't know the whole story and we should be very careful judging the player.

Corea
thats my point Im not judging anyone
I dont care what a player oes off the pitch , onc its not gonna be a shit example for kids who look up to them, once it doesnt effect how they play on the field if they play for United . But I think it is effecting Rio

kel November 6, 2009
I mention before in the previous post that i still don't think a person can do many things at a time. he juggles his magazine, movies, restaurant and other stuffs. Please concentrate on the club. I think he is old so he is prone to more injuries. If he don't feel like playing anymore say now and Sir Alex will surely find a new replacement. I do find him hard to be the form where he is before due to age coming on him. It's difficult for him to win young players like torres which is why i don't blame him for his lack of pace to win the ball when we lost to them a few weeks ago. If had a lot if time please find some specialist and try to cure your back problem if it is painful or do some yoga to prolong your career like giggs.

@Always Be Closing,wazza (Bezi),theboogeyman and everyone else

as i have always said the last thing i want to see is United fans having a go at each other.For heavens sake please stop it.As many people say rio is free to so whatever he wants in his free time but if we look at the wider issue he can use some of his time to get back his fitness. i will not use the form here because i am convinced rios poor form is due to lack of matches and not being 100% fit.as they "say form is temporary,class is permanent".rio will come out of it stronger.now i think it definitely is not an issue on which United fans should be slaggingeach other.PLEASE GUYS.STOP IT!!!!!!.WE can be more polite when disagreeing with someone's opinion

Some of the guys here are right about Rio's life. At a time his performance are down & make a lot of mistake, Rio is living his life of celebrity with rapping with Kano & making movie with Cashley Cole. Then some of the fans thought that Rio will come to Stamford Bridge not to play against Chels but to talk to Cashley about new movie or somethin'. You can do what you want with the time you have but when for a club like Manchester Utd , then you have to play with all your heart. If Rio's want to become a celebrity then he can quit Manchester Utd & play for MLS for LA Galaxy.

I don't think I had a go at ABC, to be honest, I was just explaining to him why the others were getting all bothered.

No, I'm not saying rap/hip hop is wannabe gangsterish, i'm saying Rio is. With the hand signs, acting tough to the camera etc.

@AIG : the comments made by ABC were just unacceptable be it to me or anyone else here. and you want there to be peace between us all here when one psycho comes and makes such comments. i guess he is a dipper removing his frustration over here.

no my friend.if it was a dippers or rentboys fan i would have ripped him apart but as United fans we should be United in the support of our team.of course we will have disagreements but the thing is to ensure that we disagree in a polite manner.

i was saying in general.i know you didnt have a go at him.

ok mate.i admit that he really should have monitored the words he used in that comment but maybe we can tell him politely rather than having a go ourselves.there are alternatives.if he is wise he will realise he ahs made a mistake.

@boogeyman

saying of Gandhi,i remember one of his qoute i saw in the film BLACK FRIDAY.

Rio has ALWAYS had things he does off field that he has had to juggle with his football, which is why he has been shit for the previous 3 seasons!! OH WAIT, no he hasnt has he, he has been one half of the best central defence in the world for the previous 3 seasons!! for fuck sake every player has a dip in form and Im pretty fucking sure if it was something to do with his off field antics SAF would fucking nail him to the fucking wall!! get a fucking grip, just coz he likes to have a laugh and play the fool or buy businesses or start a magazine its causing him to have a dip in form, are you having a laugh!! what the fuck is Nani up to then, running fucking microsoft!!

Mr Santos November 6, 2009
This was in the summer, AGES AGO. His own time to do whatever he pleases. If he was playing like he was last season, everyone would probably be laughing. People who think his off-field activities are affecting his performances are wrong because footballers can't be expected to live and breathe (if that's spelt right :S) like us fans do. How many of us think about our jobs or studying 24/7, even during the summer holidays, I know I don't. Cut him some slack.

@AIG : he is no child to explain to him the kind of words he has used and to be polite to tell him he was wrong. when a person writes something he thinks and writes but while talking sometimes, some words unintentionally come out.
