[xacebop]

they are going to lose to arsenal

[gunnersfan]

you'll be banned for this filth :p

[The Rock]

It's back, and it's bad. Since the FA Charged MaXxed with XYZ, and he decided to remove the threads, I thought why not make it all over again, even if it takes so much time?

What? You really thought I'd let it die in front of my eyes? Sorry. After supporting United for so long, I learnt to never give till the end. Even in the Injury time.


So come on peeps. It might not get as famous like it was before. It might not be full of all the information (I'm working), but I'm in the remaining few weeks of this season, it'll be back to where it belong,I promise.

Cheers.

[opm1s6]

wrong forum. it was in the premiership forum.

[49wrap]

AIG?:


BTw league cup, chelsea won it in 2005

[gunnersfan]

wrong forum. it was in the premiership forum.

where have you been :eek:

[The Rock]

AIG?:


BTw league cup, chelsea won it in 2005

Shall I make it 2005/2006 then?


wrong forum. it was in the premiership forum.
Really DUUUUUUDE.

[opm1s6]

Shall I make it 2005/2006 then?



Really DUUUUUUDE.
first of all stfu with all this opium bs. it is getting annoying.


secondly if you just wait about two hours you'll have the fucking Premiership forum. annoying

[The Rock]

Then it will be moved. So what's the problem if I made this thread? The Premiership Forum will be up, this thread will be moved.

[opm1s6]

god i've had enough...

[Cantona7]

whats up in here fella's...? there is no problem ...its about defiance opm !!
the rock has made this thread as his two fingers up at the fookers at the F.A.

this is his way of telling them to sod off....it will be moved but... till then im glad to see it back up....well done rock ;)

[opm1s6]

Do i call him The Cock, no i don't, fucker should try to keep the people who were at least indifferent to his posts.

[randy420]

I think you'll find we won the Carlign Cup in 2006, not 2005(that was the rent boys).

edit: I see this point was already covered. ahwell. Rock still sucks

[The Rock]

It makes no difference man. I mean, someone changed your name on the Interne and you freak?

Anyways, whats the thought on AIG? I think it's better we don't have Mansion now. Fuck me, a gambling Company after calling the Chelsea fans names for their links to Russia? Naah. Nike will work their way to create a good kit.

[Cantona7]

put 05/06 Rock that is the correct term i believe to please em....meet halfway

[Cantona7]

Anyways, whats the thought on AIG?

"If God wants it then one day I will play in the Spanish league," Ronaldo told Marca. "It is one of my aims, but I am just starting out in the game."

Huh?:confused:

[The Rock]

Yea we've discussed this. I don't think he's leaving. He's just been given a contract to keep him at Old Trafford till 2010.

just got back from the game ...great athmosphere as it usually is when we play arsenal ...got the usual shite off the cockneys...60000 wankers..etc..etc....but i chuckled to myself when they read out the attendance.lol ..thick twots....lol ;)

great game off rooney he was a constant pressure throughout the game ...pulling defenders here there and everywhere...MOM well deserved...he must of had a bet he would be first goalscorer ;) great vision for the assist

nice to see j s park get his first goal in the prem this term...thought he played well till subbed...Vidic outstanding for me (salivating at the thought of how his partnership with rio is going to develop) :D great performance by the whole team ..well proud :cool:

[The Rock]

It wasn't his FIRST GOAL. It was his second. He got one against Fulham at OT in the 4-2 win.

The stupid commentators....WOW THE FIRST GOAL FOR PARK JI SUNG. It's time they know their role and shut their mouth.

i was talking about this at the game

wasnt that goal given as an own goal to the fulham player (bocanegra i think)...it took a massive deflection off him if i remember rightly ...think it got took away from park by the dubious goal panel...:confused:

Thats why i thought it was his first

[Downgrrl]

Happy to be away from Mansion, even though for me it is still wax floor polish. Mainly because of the reported possible involvements of the club financially with them rather than the shirt sponsorship. I would prefer it if the FA took a similar stance to the NFL.

[BoredTiger]

This is GREAT NEWS! :) Thank you guys...and thank CANTONA for your experience at OT. hehehe, I have to live vicariously through your posts :)

[Cantona7]

Anyway...transfer news ....

ive heard Tim Howard might be on his way to Wigan in the summer...NOTW....and quinton fortune who we know is going anyway may end up choosing Bolton as his next club...??

thoughts on these ;)

[gola united]

Quinton is a good utility player and has not looked out of depth whenever he was called up to the first team. i will be sad to see him go. Bolton huh??? Big sam is building a mini african all star team there!!! love it!!! wish him all the best.
If Tim howard leaves who is back up for the aging Van der Saar????

[Cantona7]

If Tim howard leaves who is back up for the aging Van der Saar????

thats exactly what i was thinking maybe a new goalkeeper in the summer ??
i think it will be foolish to get rid of Howard in the summer for the same reason as you... but he is supposed to be very unhappy at lack of first team chances

think it is an area united need to look at

[Neviem]

I dont think we need to buy backup golakeeper. Ben Foster is on loan at Watford and he plays really well. We have young Luke Steele, who plays for our reserve team, so I am absolutely not worried about that. We just need to keep faith in our players.

[ronalba7]

i think luke steele or ben foster can make their first debut next season....or we need to find another keeper to fill the second place. but right now keeper is not our first priority....if u read soccernet news," alex ferguson will have a significant transfer fund and gill has stated that with that sum of fund we have, we will be able to bring midfielder that we need".:rolleyes: ......who could it be???:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[pantlessjim]

Personally, I think it would be foolish to get rid of Howard. He will be a class replacement for Van der Sar. He already proved how well he can play his first season. I just think he became unsettled. Personally I am hoping that we can bring in Ballack, but I know that is a one-in-a-million chance. I would have liked to see us sign Gravesen from Madrid in January before he broke into the team, but now he is too valuable to them. And Lord only knows whats going on with Obi Mikel, but as far as I am concerned he can fuck off. Sell him to Chel$ki for some ridiculous price, and spend it on someone worth while.

[Cantona7]

Lyon are telling United that Mahamadou Diarra will cost more than essien ;)

[Brock]

yup parkys first goal on sun delighted for him and he deserves the praise he is a great team player and imo alot harder working that ronaldo.The atmosphere as was said in OT was great on sun my last home game to go to this season:( ahh well had a 100 percent record with all the games i went to. Now on to the tranfer talk sad to see quinton leave but he is gettin on and i cant really see him gettin a first team place or place on bench any time soon more so if we bring in more players in summer. As for howard i think its only fair to let him go if he is unhappy he needs to be in a settled first team positon to maintain his international standings too so i will be happy for him if he leaves.

you not going for the sunderland game...i predict a goal glut...;) ....it was a great athmosphere on sunday...wish it was more like that every game...blew my socks off....still didnt top the Chelsea game at home this season....best athmosphere ive ever been involved in at any football match ;)

[Brock]

Chelsea game was a good atmosphere yeah but the game itself was terrible cant make it over to anymore of the home games this year for me its a 24 hr day what with boat from dub at 6 then returning boat at half 2 in the morning i usually gotta take 2 days off work will prob make it over for keane game already have tkts so i shall see how it goes

LoL i will prob be in blaize if anywhere got a bit rowdy there after arse game they had to shut the place down for a wee while and the trafford was closed for some reason ended up in toll house i still aint even sorted travel because i aint sure if i am goin. I wanna get one more game before the end of the season.

havnt been in the bishop for ages ...still sounds the same as when i used to go in lol ;)

[dimz]

not sure if this has been touched on before but what would u guys think of Esteban Cambiasso joining United? i personally like his style and his ability and he obviously can play at a top club (Madrid-Inter). Plus he's made from teh same mold as Diego Simeone, hard.

[ronalba7]

lyon want to play with the price ........i read it at soccernet....he will be more than 25mil....fuf:eek:

[^_^]

Lyon sure knows how to bargain. They know if United don't pay that amount of money Chelsea will. It's either they don't wanna sell or they're just tryin to fool our American friends. I don't think Fergie will be stupid enough to fork out that much fo Diarra. We can have 2 quality midfielders fo that price.

Bayern's Uli Hoeness said the reason why Ballack joined Chelsea is only because of the money. I believe so too, there can't be any other reason. There are better teams that's suited to his style out there, and wit Lampard there also the full potential of Ballack can hardly be materialised. It's a shame really, if he had joined us we would have arguably the best squad in England.

Why you calling Scousers names? they also said this year's Champions League was for there to be taking and they will finish second, 2-3 points behind Chelsea.

Why you calling Scousers names? they also said this year's Champions League was for there to be taking and they will finish second, 2-3 points behind Chelsea.

They are free to assume anything :D
thats why it's Manchester United and not liverpool or aresnal ;)

I'm happy they don't win the EPL, they don't deserve even in the top flight..... at least they couldn't beat sunderland today :)

right then..... i guess u like chelsea. i guess u think that they are as modest as can be (i am the SPECIAL one!!!)..... i guess the ref's do not favour them (john teryy anyone??)...... i guess jose moaninho is an angel!!!........ i guess they deserve to win it with their boring style of play.
i think if you took a poll on who is dirtier,who cheats more, who are more arogant chelsea would win by a country mile!!

[opm1s6]

anyone realize how brilliant SAF was on Monday.

He had Ronaldo on the left wing with Park and Neville floating in balls all afternoon. Ronaldo would go to the near post almost every time the ball was in space on the right. I guess he sees how many headed goals Ronaldo scores for Portugal and wanted capitilize on that, since he has almost none for united. Really nice move. Does leave space on the left for the counter, but that is a gap that can be handled.

I don't think he has done it so outright ever before. Ronaldo has been on the left side plenty of times, but to me it seemed that doing that had a larger purpose then just saying "let's give the other team a new look and confuse them a bit."

Your thoughts?

[Dirtycheat]

yeah, i thought it was a mastermind of a plan and basically all our wingers but giggs play on both flanks.

i think the idea was that Park know Pyo and is more than a match for him and stalteri is a donkey and will be out done easily bu ronaldo.

out of the club? like you have a say? he owns it, it isn't your club. it never has been. It is just the club you support. if you don't like it don't buy merchandise and don't add to the tv ratings. everytime you do, you are giving money to the "muppet" to pay off his debt.

so far i haven't had anything to complain about but it depends on whether we get a midfielder this summer.

[IncredibleLE]

glazer is a double edged sword for Man U. he can spend crazy amounts of money to make the club better, but he can also bring crap to the club. he isn't a sports person, so he knows nothing about the game and the heritege. he only cares about the money. so he can bring in stars with the money, but he can also change things to bring in more money. like in a news report stated "you could be sitting in a same seat for twice the price at the new Coke Cola Old Trafford next season"

First, you are correct, I don't have a say because he does own the club. But I did at one point own part of the club. Yes, it was a very small amount, but I still owned part of it. I don't buy merchandise, and if I watch any United game, it is through my computer. I will never pay for or support any Pay-Per-View game that Manchester United is a part of.

i don't want to make a big stink about this, but i find it a bit hypocritical to hammer a gremlin before he has done something wrong. if you are grumpy that he forced you to sell your shares fine, but otherwise it's like saying you hate an ugly dude for dating the girl you obsess over and treating her well. I'm not saying it's out of jealousy I just can't hate a guy who hasn't done anything wrong yet. I'll definately let loose if we don't get a midfielder, but he clearly understands the link between putting out a high quality product, and consumer psychology.

Really all I expect him to do is, keep the pride of the club (keep tradition in tact, i.e. no Coca Cola Old Trafford) and to keep the club competitive with the top of Europe and get out of 20% interest rate debt. That's it.

There are positives about having a single owner in the club. He's definately cut the fat off of uneeded players, and placing them out on loan.

Fergie gets Lippi

By STEVEN HOWARD

MARCELLO LIPPI is being lined up to join Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.


Italy boss Lippi has told friends he will quit after Sunday’s World Cup final.

He is now being linked with a role alongside Old Trafford chief Fergie. And that could see him eventually succeed the Scot.

Fergie is a long-standing friend and huge admirer of the former Juventus manager.

He once said of the Italian: “Just looking into his eyes is enough to tell you he’s in command of himself and his professional domain.”

Ferguson, 64, is expected to relinquish the reins after 20 years in charge at the end of the coming season. Italian sources believe Lippi, 58, could either work in tandem with the United supremo or under him — with Fergie promoted to general manager.

A source close to Lippi said: “He is not looking for a lucrative contract since he has achieved success at the highest level. And working abroad is the only thing that interests him.

“He will not find it diminishing to work either alongside or under another manager.”

no manager at this level has an ego that can withstand being under Fergie for an entire season. Queroz can only do it because he doesn't understand Scottish. :D

well neither do i :)

[cityblues]

Yes, maybe it's tmie SAF moves on.



The Ronaldo thing must be just to up the bididng...surely he and Rooney can't stay, and there absolutly no way you sell Rooney

[Silas]

Yes, every team has an important player, who they rely on success, United have Rooney, Liverpool have Gerrard, Chelsea have Lampard, Arsenal has Henry...City has....urm.......many great players as well :D.



Lol, ok on a serious note, I wish Ronaldo goes. Frucking fruck wankers.

[sporez]

Ronaldo isnt going anywhere unless SAF can get a double yer money deal from one of the spanish sides mentioned, or if there is a sudden exodus from Serie A, with Juve, Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio relegated. There isn't anyone else that I can think of that is capable of filling Ronaldo's role on the team that is available and reasonably inexpensive, considering that Spurs are still pondering 15 mil bid for Carrick!

If he can survive the booing from Engerland fans until Xmas, he'll be ok, although he is a sensitive lad.

Also, do English MUFC fans really care about the national team? I know I'd much rather MUFC be successful in the Champions League than England win a World Cup, but hey I'm a Yank, what do I know? It's always been my impression that the Devils were more important than the Three Lions in the grand scheme of things. With the Sven coaching boondoggles, and the England team clearly knackered, there was no way they were going to win it all this year anyway. You would think that with England's defense they would've played a more offensive game and left it to Rio and Terry to make sure there were no slip ups at the back, but whatever.

Personally, I think that SAF will be able to sort out Ronaldo. I don't think that he was responsible for Rooney getting sent off, Rooney was, regardless if it was intentional or not.

The Rooney and Ronaldo saga is all media hype, my opinion.

I wonder if Klinsmann is being lined up as SAF's replacement? He's said he wants to coach in the prem, I think he'd be a good fit at OT. No way is Lippi coming to MUFC.

[fanutd]

so we strolled to win in a friendly. The whole team played well but fletcher :(

[dbzclips]

The Rock really needs to update the first post.

[zyzfr1]

He is simply not good enough... all that exists with regards to Fletcher is that he and Fergi are both Scottish... he has insufficient quality to be on the united A squad...

[no_frills_billy]

c.ronaldo going ruud going u guys havent got much of a team atm. Scholes, Giggs Neville and Ole can only get worse Manu's best chance of a trophy next season is probably carling cup and mayb Uefa Cup

Milan remains in Serie A so all the speculation of Gattuso and Pirlo joining would seem a lil far fetched atm. Wonder what Ferguson is gonna do.

[ronalba7]

nothing....just wait and see....no need to feel sorry for us. ruud's heading out...may be .. but c.ronaldo?? no way!!

[dudek]

c.ronaldo going ruud going u guys havent got much of a team atm. .

RVN hasn't played much near the end of the Season and those were some of MU's best games, Ronaldo never passes the ball and scores rarely so I don't see much loss to the "Team" if they both go.

[May261999]

My wishlist (in no particular order):

Gattuso
Pirlo
Torres
Ricardo (Angola, not Portugal)
Tevez or Mascherano (or both)

I'm tempted to say Malouda, too. And I really liked Zokora even before the World Cup, but Spurs went ahead and swooped in for him.

On the cheap, I think that Jaziri and Kawaguchi would be decent pickups. And hey, having Ji-Sung around sure would make it easier for a player like Lee Chun-Soo to settle in.

I'd rather United spend a sum of money on a few quality players rather than splurge a huge chunk on one superstar.

And what's this about Rossi struggling in the preseason? :(

[Silas]

Three trips in the SA in 7 days with inexperienced players maybe got to Rossi. He is super-Quality, but still not 20+ goals Ruud.

[bricktop]

I think its more important that we solidify the midfield versus solidifying the attack (although idealy, if van Nistelrooy leaves, it would be nice to solidify both areas). if Ruud does leave, I actually wouldn't be that worried about the attack. Rooney is solid, and Saha is as well (granted that he stays fit). Rossi is a great prospect and I think he could have a breakout season sometime in the near future (he has a 1-1 goalscoring ratio in the reserves I believe when he starts, I think he has 53 goals for 53 starts over the past couple seasons or something like that), and I believe that he does have the talent to bring that sort of form into the first team. Ole is nice to have back as well, but unfortunately, he has a lot of problems with injuries, and you never know if he is going to take a bad knock and be out for awhile.

As for the midfield, I think a solid CDM is a must signing this season. Another attacking midfielder would be nice as well (I like Pirlo, but I'm not sure if we can get him), however I do have confidence in Paul Scholes, and when the lad is on his game, he's magnificent.

[May261999]

I do have confidence in Paul Scholes, and when the lad is on his game, he's magnificent.
Have you ever seen anyone drop in form after turning 30 as precipitously as he has, though? I simply cannot recall any one individual player who has lost it as much as he did before he went out. Maybe it was the eye thing that was affecting him. We shall see.

[randy420]

He's been dogged by injury and played out of position. He hasn't lost it

[May261999]

We shall see.

"...I have just read the story 'Arise Sir Roman, Football Benefactor' By An Anonymous Chelsea Fan. After reading the pathetic drivel that has spewed forth from your supposed grey matter I can see why you wish to remain anonymous. You are a complete w**ker, almost on a par with the ultimate t**t that’s runs your s**t fantasy football team.

I for one am sick of hearing about how great Chelski are. You bought the feckin' title. At least when ManYoo were loathed throughout the land they played attractive, attacking football from home-grown talent rather than spend like Roman (ironic really considering the fortune they have spent in the last few seasons and what have they won?).

Let's all continue to loathe Chelski and all they stand for.
Phil Norris, Liverpool"

i must confess it has taken me awhile to realise fergie is the prob with man utd and i can't believe i used to defend him. But RVN leaving after a supposed bust-up has just confirmed it. He needs to leave the club. Over the past couple of seasons or shud i say ever since 2003 when we stopped winning ANYTHING, he's been saying bullshit year after year like when he said the Carling Cup is a trophy we wanna win. SINCE WHEN DID THE CARLING CUP BECOME A PRIORITY?? and the latest is he wud be perfectly happy if he didn't sign anybody: HE'S OFF HIS HEAD!! A midfield that is non-existent as well as a strike-force with Ruud now gone??..Saha couldn't score 15 goals a season even if the defenders were one-legged cripples..sheesh!! A coup needs to be staged honestly. Fergie has lost focus and motivation.

Look at our players. Unless we have an Arsenal miracle we're not goin anywhere this season!!

Now if only someone like Lippi wud come along and redeem us (sigh)

Need some help from the folks in England, please......

Sky Sports report on US tv tonight is showing a lot of tabloid headlines "confirming" a Carrick move to Old Trafford for 15 million. What's the word?

[randy420]

news is that we've signed him for a fee of £17m. £8m up front, £6m over 2 years and the other £3m is based on success and other stuff.

[zainyboy]

The way this pre-season has been going, I'll be glad to sing anybody!
There was a very hopeful report saying we are going to sign Mascherano AND Carrick! Now that is wishful thinking...We needed to sign a (class)midfielder at least two seasons ago. It still wont help us upfront though...

[May261999]

It still wont help us upfront though...

Just out of curiosity, what kind of "help" do you think we need upfront with Rooney, Saha, Smicker and Solksjaer back and fit, and Dong and Rossi ready to make their splash?

[karmaf1]

Just out of curiosity, what kind of "help" do you think we need upfront with Rooney, Saha, Smicker and Solksjaer back and fit, and Dong and Rossi ready to make their splash?

I have to agree with Rossi but Dong isnt good (ready?) enough for EPL. Manchester United need a good striker (not worldclass) and a Worldclass Midfield.

[May261999]

I have to agree with Rossi but Dong isnt good (ready?) enough for EPL.

Perhaps, but he'll provide depth, and with the work permit, he can be fielded in reserve and Cup games, thereby bringing him closer to that "ready enough" point.

I can live with this payout on United's part. Though I'm still not happy with the excessive fee that had to be paid, United already have this amount through transfers..

(Obi Wan - 12 ---> 6 this year, 6 next)
(Ruud - 11....)

So they have 9 remaining from Ruud's transfer to add to whatever there transfer kitty is to go and get someone else.

I'm still hoping that a defensive terminator can get purchased and placed in the midfield as an enforcer.

If they have the funds, go after Mascherano... if they don't, go after Hargreaves...

I see what ur saying, but unfortunately i think Fergie beleives Carrick to be his DM for the coming years. If we got Mascherano that'd be GREAT....then carrick could watch from th bench as Scholesy and Masche show him how it works.

You think Sir Alex paid £17m just so Carrick sould be on the bench :eek:

[Silas]

And 30 million+ so that he makes him learn :D

for all we know, he's worth the money. if he comes in here and creates 20 goals this season for the team, and helps control the midfield while taking pressure off the wingers. I mean shit, at this point we can't really complain.

we complained for 29 pages in the Manchester United Transfer thread, and now that we actually have action, we are complaining again. We lost a 30 year scoring god, but gained a 25 year old world class midfielder, that can create and give us more balance. Which would you rather have?

We aren't chelsea bidding on him, but you have to expect that any player that you want, and want badly enough will cost you to rip away from the current owner. I guess that price is 18. honestly at this point i don't care. Team is more competitive this way, and the cost isn't incredibly high. especially considering the windful of Obi Wan.

I just can't wait to see him link up with Rooney

I thought WC meant you start for your National side? ;)

personally I was hoping for a midfield enforcer... someone who would work there ass off and tackles the shit outta opposing players.

my initial complaint with Carrick was value for dollar... now my new concern is who our man in the midde that polices the midfield is?

[May261999]

my new concern is who our man in the midde that polices the midfield is?

You know, I said this last season when the Alan Smith experiment began. I got a lot of criticism for it, but I honestly believe it can be done.

Wayne Rooney.

And no, I don't believe his creativity would be wasted in that position. I think it'll help him develop an all-round game. Just needs to keep his head straight and his temper in check.

our new "16"....need one or two player more.....Tevez/Mascherano(corinthians is about to relegated) the percentage for them to come is 50/50....but may be it is just only rumours that spread from an unknown source.....senna may be!!! but torres??? i doubt it!we(united) just need to say the prayer and hope that the player will come and give us hope on winning epl and champions league......:cool:

the Tevez/Mascherano rumour is a load of (insert cuss word here)....

I don't understand why United has such a hardon for Senna... dude is 30. In a couple of seasons, we'll be right back to square one, looking for another midfielder. Why dont' they go after Hargreaves. He's only 25, can play holding midfield as well as upteen other positions very, very well and I think could compliment Carrick & Scholes very well.

In the past 2 weeks, I've read that he wants to play in prem. He's said it more than once... hello? Sir Alex, you do read right? go get 'em...

I bought Hargreaves in my CM '06 game in my second season. He's been massive. :D

[randy420]

rumor has it they're moving the nike swoosh from the stretford end to the scoreboard end (east stand) and are putting "stretford end" on the seats in the Stretty. Of course, there could be like an "AIG Stretford End" or something crap like that, but who knows

[odimebrown]

Rio's locks are gone... that was quick...

wonder who ordered them off? :D

Well, I'm not too surprised they're gone. If it's as scorching up there in Manchester as it is here in the Northeast in America, then i can so see him not just cutting them off but shredding them as he clearly has by the evidence in those photos.

And trek900, thanks so much for those photos. They all looked good and raring to go. New boy Carrick is looking so good as are Smith [hope he's coming back soon enuff] and Ronaldo. I just wonder how the dynamics are btwn him and Rooney right now...hehe

well regardless, it's an international sport. few teams don't have international fan base. particularly for the likes of celtic and united.

[randy420]

Aye but none of you Man U fans even know where Busby Road is.:p

I think you'll find it's Sir Matt Busby Way, not Road, and it's the road that goes past the outside of the East Stand. It used to be Warwick Road, and part of it still is, but the part by Old Trafford is Sir Matt Busby Way :)

we'll live... as long as it's not 3 games...

I still dont' understand why this was reported to the FA... didn't Pool have a similar situation in last years tourney (or was it a couple seasons ago...) and it wasn't forwarded to the FA?

Rooney is going to be in for a tough season... if he looks, touches, runs, jumps, shoots, celebrates, drinks water, coughs, laughs or moans funny he's in for a red card... :D

[Mike-23]

Franck Ribery said: "My wish is to leave Marseille. I want to play in the Champions League. The Marseille club officials know where I want to go and the club I wish to sign for also know it."

What U think about it??

[dimz]

I think we should sign him, simple as that. He's a hardworking winger....hard to come by these days. He would be a good replacement for Giggsy in the next year or so.

Sir Alex Ferguson has taunted Arsenal, claiming they’ll struggle to fill their new 60,000 capacity Emirates stadium. “I won’t miss Highbury,” Fergie said. “I think it was a run-down stadium. The pitch was too small for top-class football teams and I think it helped Arsenal in Europe in particular. “Moving to a better stadium will help them in the sense that the games will be better and there will be more room to play. “It will be interesting to see what happens when they hit a little bit of a bad spell, whether they’ll still be able to get 60,000 through the gates.” Your thoughts. Are Arsenal trying to punch above their weight? :D :D :D

so the troublemakers talk in 3rd person do they... :D

I liked Aerez......but anyway. Good deal with Kuzczsak (spelling?), though i was hoping for a permanent deal. I personally dont' want Howard back, don't think he's good enough for a top club like ours.

manutd sign the westbrom goal keeper on a season long loan.
