Manchester Utd, the new Champs

[smokethedays]

Man. Uts won in penalty shoot out against Chelsea, bad as game.
I love Chelsea though, Fvckin' Drogba got his own ass red carded and lost the league

[sassbs11]

oh manchester is wonderful oh manchester wonderful its full of tit.s fan.ny and united oh manchester is wonderful

[nirish_mark20]

that 'oh manchester, is wonderful' song has to be the worst, most unimaginative song i have ever heard, i kill myself laughing when they sing it coz it makes them sound like pansies!

[Voice of Reason]

WoooHOOO!

[sassbs11]

WoooHOOO!

wtf is dat pic for?

[Flagg]

I don't know what's with that gay pic, it's been put in a coupla other threads so im assuming its supposed to be funny?

Anyways, im an Arsenal supporter but im glad Man U won. I can't stand chelsea. Man U have always been a powerhouse, they've built their squad up over the years and have quite possibly the best manager in the world. Chelsea have Abromovich and that's why they are what they are. Everyone banged on about Mourihno, but Avram Grant still got them second in the league, so it shows its the money that makes chelsea the underserving powerhouse that they are.

fuk off

[nirish_mark20]

fuk off

em...no??

im a liverpool fan, and i watched that game fully expecting man united to win. why? because they have been the best team in europe this season, hands down. i have no problems admiting that at all

but honesltly, that song is a terrible one. oh manchester is wonderful? im sure the city fans agree that you have a nice city, and heck, il even agree considering iv been living here for the past 9 months, but why not say that man united are good, not just manchester?

the game was a great game, I enjoyed it. i dont think the referee was great, and even my man utd supporting friends agree- he was giving goal kicks to united when it should have been a corner to chelsea, and giving united corners when it was a blatent goal kick to chelsea.

the incident at the end, typical of drogba really. what i never understand is why do any other players get involved? also, i feel that Vidic retaliated and had it not been for chelsea players, he would have been physical to drogba, thus resulting in at least a yellow card which would have been his 2nd, and he would have been off, it didnt happen though so who cares!

Im pleased an English team has won it, but feel more for chelsea because i think terry deserves to win it and i dont think he will get the chance now. man united will win it again by 2012 i think so they have nothing to worry about

in the meantime though, Man United, enjoy it, your still 2 behind us!

FOREVER IN OUR SHADOW!!

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!!!!

[ChuckLee]

Drogba deserved that redcard, that's not the right attitude at 115th minute in a CL Final...
Bad match though...

[CSAR]

Bah, who cares? They're not wearing pads 'cause none of their athletes generate the average hitting power of a 50 pound dumbell dropped from a 2 story building.



Beckham's a puff! Rooney's a looney! Cristian's a....er....um....Christian!! Yeah, uhhhh, and give me an order of Freedom Fries to go....What? Hell yeah I want them SuperSized!!

I'm really starting to agree with Ronaldo not being able to perform on the big stage. Fair enough, he scored the first goal. Second half of the match he disappeared as did Carrick and Rooney. Then he takes that ridiculous stop-start penalty, he deserved to miss. Tevez is a workhorse though and Vidic is quality. Could have been a different result though had Drogba not slapped Vidic. Although I'm surprised Drogba didn't drop to the floor and roll around clutching his wrist. Unbelievable talented player, but nearly as talented at theatrics.

[skitz1]

[shifty_git]

ha ha - quality pic skitz!!

[Flagg]

Because spotty Ronaldo runs up the pitch doing that ****ing step over on the ball, that makes him the current worlds best player?? Do me a favour, he hasn't a patch, and never will, have a patch on true greats like Zidane, Ronaldhino, Henry, Kaka, etc...

Messi in my opinion is the best player in the world at the moment, the only thing Ronaldo is better at is in the air and free kicks. Messi hasn't even peaked.

Dont talk shit m8

[StoneGRMI]

Good match but I thought Chelsea got shit on a couple times with some bad calls. They also should have won but choked when they had their chances.

That caution sign is hilarious.

[nirish_mark20]

ronaldo isnt near the level of ronaldinho, zidane, maradona, best etc

all these players performed on the big stage, and did it consistently, with the majority winning world cups or getting very close. if he does it continually, then yes, he will become one of the best players in the world. he has the time to do it because he is young

right now though, he isnt. he has had one good (very good) season, and we wait to see how he gets on. this summers euro championships should be a good call and then what happens over the next 3-4 years.

he is a tricky player, and his tricks come off more often than not nowadays. however, tricks dont make you the best player. i would prefer tevez in my team for his work than ronaldo.

i never want a player to get injured, i always prefer when teams play eachother with their strongest teams because then you get a better idea of who is better. but I would love to see how united perform with ronaldo missing for 2-3 months. he has carried them all season, if he leaves, uh oh for united!!

[sassbs11]

true nirish not yet<<<<<<< but to say all he does is run and do stepovers just shows a total lack of football knowlege from flagg, thats the point i was making

[TJM7275]

Are you guys talking about Soccer? Thats what manchester United is right? Not even being a smart ass either, really just curious. Soccer is not to big here in the states, but congrats if thats the team you guys like!

[El Ricardinho]

messi when fit is the closest you will get to maradona all over again. he is on a different planet. its effortless. ronaldo is a great player but shows off to much and cant hack pressure pot penalties. Chelsea shouldve won after the comeback in second half. Big terry will be devastated but anelka and drogba are a couple of asses for the way they act.

shows off? did ppl say that about zidane? figo ? ronaldinho? no, and why not i'll tell you why not because they played abroad we watch them on tv every few weeks see there tricks and think wow, but when a player in the british leagues do it we get on their backs and call them show offs, maybe its because we still all like the old school footballers of hard knocks like vinnie jones and tony adams, but the game has changed and young players like ronaldo, fabregas, wright phillips , all show off but you cannot take that away from them you'll take half of the player away

sassba- i agree that people didnt say it about zidane etc because we dont see them as often but...

zidane, ronaldinho etc pulled off tricks when they 1) knew they would work and 2)knew they wqould lead to something. they tended to be more reserved in what tricks they tried, and their tricks were plart of team play.

Ronaldo, IMO, needs to learn that doing a few step overs then bolting down the line and crossing the ball into the keeprs hands doesnt make him a world class player. he is one of the best currently because of his awareness of where his teammates will play the ball, and also where the goal is. however, when its the other way around, he is not as involved in the team. when ronaldo goes on a run, he is always looking for the glory. messi, ronaldinho etc go on runs but always looked for teammates

giev him a few years though (when hes at Real Madrid!) and yes, he will be up there with the rest of them

[shifty_git]

What i wanna know is, who exactly are Mancheser Utd?

Liverpool
Tranmere
Aresnal
Chelsea
Newcastle
Wolverhampton
Birmingham
Bolton
Oldham
Swansea
Cardiff
Newport
Wrexham
Wigan
Portsmouth
even Acrington....

i could go on for a very long time here!

All these teams are named after their town or city or county.....

Ok the only other team i can think of that is in the same boat are TNS... a abreviation for 'Total Network Solutions', they are called that coz the club owner changed the name to his business name as its easier to remember and pronounce than Llansantffraid (Llan-san-fried). And now they are based in Oswestry but we all now know where they came from now.

I guess what im trying to say is
WHO THE FVCK ARE MAN U?

errr Manchester United? lol

some of the best players in the world are selfish especially goalscorers, van nistelrooy,raul,shearer, ronaldo, just to name a few, but their goal records speaks for themselves

[nirish_mark20]

iv never mentioned the any of the above to be the best players in the world, but being t among the best players in the world doesnt make you the best player in the world!!

the best players in the world are almost always attacking midfielders. the players who can defend but mainly attack, link up the midfield to the strikers, make late runs into the box, score all types of goals. those attributes are all obvious in players like maradona, zidane, ronaldinho, il even say steven gerrard, but ronaldo is amongst them as well. when did you ever see rud van nistelrooy score from 30 yrds out? even ronaldo (not christiano) is only well known because he had a few good seasons, thats doesnt make him world class.

to be world class, you have to become world class by a young age, and maintain it throughout their career

The club was formed as Newton Heath L&YR F.C. in 1878 as the works team of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath. The club's shirts were green and gold halves. They played on a small, dilapidated field on North Road, near the future site of the Manchester Piccadilly railway station for fifteen years, before moving to Bank Street in the nearby town of Clayton in 1893. The club had entered the Football League the previous year and began to sever its links with the rail depot, becoming an independent company, appointing a club secretary and dropping the "L&YR" from their name to become simply Newton Heath F.C. Not long afterwards, in 1902, the club neared bankruptcy, with debts of over £2,500. At one point, their Bank Street ground was even closed by the bailiffs.[12] Just before having to be shut down for good, the club received a sizeable investment from J. H. Davies, the managing director of Manchester Breweries.[13]. Legend goes that Harry Stafford, the club captain, was showing off his prized St. Bernard dog at a club fund-raiser, when Davies approached him to buy the dog. Stafford declined, but was able to persuade Davies to invest in the club and become club chairman.[14] It was decided at one of the early board meetings that the club required a change of name to reflect the fresh start they had been afforded. Manchester Central and Manchester Celtic were among the names suggested, before Louis Rocca, a young immigrant from Italy, said "Gentlemen, why don't we call ourselves Manchester United?"[15] The name stuck, and Manchester United officially came into existence on 26 April 1902. Davies also decided it would be appropriate to change the club's colours, abandoning the green and gold halves of Newton Heath, and picking red and white to be the colours of Manchester United.

wow great post shifty

[Odpierdol_sie!]

[sassbs11]

Interesting.....
but Netwon heath is in manchester city.
Its where the city of manchester staduim is now well its not 100% exact its actually in Miles Platting, but if you cross Alan turing way (north road )you are in Newton Heath/clayton (depending on where you cross) and if you cross the road adjacent to ATW (Ashton new rd) you are in Beswick.

On what u say, then really they should be called Cheshire United

bs^^^^^^^^, yes newton heath is in manchester, duh, but so is united now and were when they were called newton heath, so what point are you trying to make? that united were called newton heath but were based a couple of miles away? if so by your theories united should be called trafford? manchester city should of been called rusholme when they at maine road? and now city should be called eastlands?

[Odpierdol_sie!]

[El Ricardinho]

nirish mark you say the real ronaldo wasnt world class? wow that is crazy talk. he is the best finisher the world has seen. his career as ruined by two deadly knee injurys but his record at cruzerio, psv, barcelona, inter and real madrid is unsurpassed. google it and have a check. almost a goal game whn fit. in fact one of my most favourite memories is when he rattled home the hat trick he bagged against man red whilst at real. He is the top scorer in world cup history. the guy is a livin legend. get real with your chat. also sass when cristiano moves to la liga we will see who comes out player of the year when he comes up against messi for the title.

[sassbs11]

No actually... Newton Heath is in MANCHESTER CITY. Man U is in GREATER MANCHESTER COUNTY.
Man U should be called Stretford Utd as thats the name of the town Old Trafford is in.
Or if you want to be even more accurate it should be called White City United!
But if you want to be accurate about asscociating cities, it should be called Salford United since its alot closer to the City of Salford than it is to the City of Manchester!

City is actually still in Miles Platting which is not called Eastlands, thats just the name for the development area incorporating the ground at the back of the Gas-o-meters that go along side New Viaduct st then back around behind the Merc garage to Ashton New Rd and back up to Alan turing way... i.e. the ground that the stadium is situated....
going off your highly intellectual theory there, Man Utd should be Called Old Trafford United then.

what is it with your highly descriptive directions? 'behind the merc garage', wow you own an a 2 z, 'to ashtonold road' wtf is this all about?

[El Ricardinho]

altho he couldnt defend you cant say he wasnt skillfull he had a box of tricks that has since been passed on to the likes of ronaldinho and your messi's and chris ronaldo's of the world. i agree with you tho that guys like maradona zidane even gazza were for me complete footballers. young chris ronaldo will eventually come into this bracket in another 4-5 years if he keeps it up. i hope he goes to la liga and plays for real tho. coz the little cross dresser just cost chelsea the title this year and they are my english side.

[Swifto]

Real Madrid still arnt giving up on getting Ronaldo this summer it seems. There's talk of Robinho being sold to generate money to purchase Ronaldo.

Are Real ****ing stupid? There constant media bullshit and stating their buying him is becoming anoying. He may go oneday, but not for a few years.

Real are mugging themselves off by being so persistant and talking complete garbage.

[El Ricardinho]

its par for the course with real tho. think back to ronaldo zidane figo etc they were the most drawn out toothache style transfers in history. ronaldo wants to go, hell his mum even stated it a few weeks back. if not next season i think year after. what else can he achieve now at man red? best to go out on a high i reckon.
