    The Evra Bomb! Why Pat Should Be Nowhere Near Anfield This Saturday 

    So the racists have won.

    Evra is absent against Liverpool. The clowns who advocate the words of Luis Suarez have a good laugh. Manchester United go crashing out the cup. Isnt football just a bag of tripe?

    There are many reasons why Patrice Evra should or should not play in this weekend’s FA Cup tie at the home of the most disgraced football club of this season. The defiant will tell you HE HAS TO PLAY. They will tell you that we can’t let them gain an advantage from all this. That what stand would it be against racism if Evra was to step aside for this tie? They will then tell you with a veiled smile that the Scousers will cut their own throats. About the opportunity for them to look like idiots and vile racists…and we can stand back with glee as the world condemns Liverpool Football Club. The opportunity to help destroy their reputation is greater than protecting the man himself. A man whose welfare should be greater than this specifically pathetic tribalism that has been caused by this whole Luis Suarez affair. The minute you use the history between the two cities is the minute you have lost sight of what this is all about.

    For me, football is secondary when it comes to this matter. (More …)

      By his own admission, Evra made a false allegation (nobody called him a n****r) and then retracted it.

      Nevermind how the FA kangaroo court’s interpretation – Evra lied.

      I hope he does play. He deserves to hear what the Kop have to say to him.

      Utter dross. Suarez wasn’t found guilty of racism. he isn’t a racist as confirmed by the idiots at the FA and “Pat”. So lets stop fanning the flames of a situation which has been brought about by the single minded press. And why question the mental state of poor “Pat”. Everyone knows he has history regarding racist claims. Its obvious his mental state is questionable.

      • Mash 19:32 on January 26, 2012 Permalink | Reply

        The answer to his questionable mental state is clear ; racist himself, arrogant fuck who does nothing but complain – racist there, racist there, my coach is poor so france are loosing – well you where on the pitch trying to be a captain wasn’t you ? Why not think for a second about your own responsibilities – well he wont be remembered fondly by many – come the time of his retirement!

        Mental lightweights like you don’t get it. There’s a vast difference between being a racist and simply making a racially vilifying comment. You don’t have to actually believe that blacks are inferior in order to make an insulting comment.

      Well even as a supporter i find Evra a disgrace. Every honest unitedfan should admit that Evra is in the wrong – he is by no mean the victim. I cant stand the man Suarez, but in this case he did nothing wrong. The Fa and Evra, they are the sinners. Never liked evra anyway, find it a digrace that he is captaining our glorious team. He is nothing but trouble and as arrogant as they come. Look at him at the world cup, look at him telling french press that suarez called him the n-word atleast ten times – then telling the Fa, well it wasnt like that anyway. What was it like Evra? Give a decent person that armband – give it to wazza – he is far more a person with qualities – think about it. moneygrabbing Wayne Rooney !? He he, well atleast he is an honest lad and i love that.

      • timbo 22:15 on January 26, 2012 Permalink | Reply

        Yeah, Rooney is a ringing endorsement for all that footballers should aspire to. A brainless thug on and off the field, who hires prostitutes to screw around with because his pregnant wife couldn’t ‘deliver’.

      Evra was seen on youtube by EVERYONE calling Chelsea players n****r .. Suarez just called him black which was time I checked Evra is.. The tackle carragher did to Nani that made him cry I hope Evra gets one of those and he would really deserve it too..

      As a liverpool fan i would have no intention of verbally abusing evra at the game. im not racist and i would not gain any satisfaction in acting in this way. Banter yes, racist heckling no.
      Reading your article with the sweeping negative generalisations about liverpool and particularly their fans it appears you are the one who is acting in a discriminating manner. i imagine evra would be ashamed to be associtated with your article.

      • timbo 22:20 on January 26, 2012 Permalink | Reply

        Yeah right. Why don’t the FA set up some video equipment and microphones along the line Evra patrols to record the guaranteed racial taunts that will be thrown his way.

      Biggest piece of crap I’ve read in a while. You’ve got to be kidding me. Poor little Evra. This guy is a professional wind up artist and he loves to stir the pot. I’ll be looking to him to be making a few more false claims on Saturday.

      This is a joke right?

      Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahahaha what a load of shit, you talk utter bollocks the scum that is evra has history of lieing and last time he did it he was told to be “vastly exaggerating the truth” (nothing new there then). Utd did all they can to get one of liverpools best players banned to hinder them and they will still end up with more silverware than utd this season!!!

      All in all a career ending injury for one of the most hated figures in football will be nothing short of justified, then again even this may be to good for Mr (I will lie at all costs) Evra

    • Stevie G, Walton, Liverpool 20:31 on January 26, 2012 Permalink | Reply

      No!! Damn Evra, because he is a lying cheating b*stard who played the “Race Card” to get Suarez banned!! He has used this ploy a couple of times now, eventually the FA will have to deal with his cheating ways. The French National Squad realised he is a trouble-causing bar steward and he is now banned from the national squad. Personally, I hope he scores nothing but own-goals in all his games this season or someone breaks his leg!! It’s funny how the FA are now under investigation because they are both Prosecutor and Judge in all these cases! Hardly, a great example of democracy are they, where they have dismissed only two of 400 cases brought to the FA!! It’s about time Fergie’s old boys network was dismantled, well certainly the judgment side of the FA anyway.

        You must be the twit who wrote up Liverpool’s first statement on the issue. Instead of talking out your arse (obviously your better looking side) go and do some basic homework, idiot, and you’ll find out that this is the first time Evra has brout forward a complain based on race. The other two cases you mentioned involved other parties, not Evra himself, even though he was the one allegedly being racially vilified.

      Never mind the (so-called) racists at OUR ground have won or protecting the reputation of the LIAR who started ALL this – I think? You’ll have a HARD job & THEN some? Protecting poor, hard done to, soft lad LIAR Evra? From KARMA; Why? Simple – MORE than one of our team? WILL be out to get him ON The pitch after what he’s done & if they Don’t on Saturday? They WILL at OT in a couple of weeks but almost a certainty? Is the fact you should worry more about tackles in the game than anything as sooner or later? One of our team WILL exact revenge & More for what that LIAR has done & never mind being sent off or banned off for 8 games – United? WILL Lose Evra for months After he’s CARRIED off as he almost certainly? WILL be against us sooner or later – Remember, what goes around? COMES around & WhatEVER United, Evra do or However Big they THINK their name is? It’s not & as such? Karma & the inevitable? WILL catch up with Evra sooner or later – I don’t expect him not to start or to be sent off on Saturday – I DO however? Expect him to be carried off if he’s not VERY careful & even then to make up for what he’s done with his LIES somehow or other even IF he doesn’t want to. In short? Evra WILL suffer for what he’s done with his LIES – Put money on it…………………..

    • Redshadow 20:45 on January 26, 2012 Permalink | Reply

      Doesn’t matter re’ our reputation anyway – One set of lies orchestrated by a professional LIAR & all round IDIOT like Evra WON’T ruin a century’s work & development anyway whatever happens. And our response via the media? WhatEVER United has done to limit the damage? Has been devestating to Evra whatever happens. We’ve COMPLETLEY destroyed what passed for his so-called ‘professional reputation’, his fellow pro’s have NO respect for him anymore And? He has NO friends in football now nor WILL he again & no-one? Believes Or WILL believe a WORD he says again – His OWN conduct, past lies & CLEAR untruths here have come back to haunt him in short & THAT video of him USING the word he SWEARS he despises did much of the damage – In short? Him & Ferguson MIGHT have understood how to cook up a crock of LIES using the rulebook & the FA to their advantage BUT? They forgot in the ENGLISH courts & The LAW courts of this world? Such a tissue of LIES? WOULD be Torn to PIECES by ANY half-decent brief in SECONDS & further ALL The internet evidence of just HOW much of a liar Evra is combined with revulsion at the sad mess that is his so-called character? Has combined with what Liverpool have done in the last month to UTTERLY destroy him professionally in terms of reputation & Rightly so. I don’t so much hate as DESPISE The petty, lying, vindictive, dwarfen, pathetic little LIAR & however much he’s done to remove Suarez from ONE game because Luis SO humiliated the pathetic little scrote? He CAN’T stop the Likes of Bellamy & Gerrard doing likewise on Saturday – Nor WILL he. Further? I hope he GETS his leg broken & or fractured or one of ours ahem ‘mistimes’ a tackle resulting in him being CARRIED off & out for MONTHS – then? Not only WILL United lose him for months? That evil LIAR of a manager of theirs? Can jump up, cry & report stuff to his HEARTS content – No-one will listen. Nor should they of in the first place. Why listen to LIARS. In fact? Evra, the JOKE of a club he plays for & their waste of oxygen, VILE piece of trash Manager? Shoudl be VERY careful Civilly in case Luis? Decides to do what the FA SHOULD have done & call their bluff with a slander/libel case – He does THAT? And Fergie/Evra/United? Will have NO defence – Not only will their laughable ‘case’ against Luis be SHREDDED In minutes but further? UNITED’S reputation will be destroyed & PUBLICLY at long last with them exposed for the LIARS we all KNOW they are & along with the FA? Will HAVE to apologise to Luis publicly. In short? What they’ve done? WILL catch up with them sooner or later – HOWever much they twist & turn to avoid it & rightly so………………

      Equating scousers with racists is ludicrous. You’ve obviously never spent a day of your life in Liverpool.
      As for Evra, the poor flower, lets just see in the long run who between him and Suarez proves to be the better man. You’re mistaken if you think that the Liverpool fans give a toss about that little prick: they’ll be supporting their club and their players. It should be obvious to anyone which team’s star is rising and which team’s sun is setting.

    • Redshadow 20:52 on January 26, 2012 Permalink | Reply

      Oh one more thing? WHY is the FA’s verdict treated as gospel? Why is Luis ALLOWED to be called a racist when NO-ONE in Football (Certainly NOT the pompous, arrogant know NOTHING Pigs at the FA) has ANY right to make a FINAL decision on such a subject – ALL rights to RULE with FINALITY on such subjects? Rest with the English LAW Courts both Civil & Criminal NOT the Kangaroo so-called ‘sporting’ courts & as such? The FA’s decision – laughable & WRONG as it was? Other than just an excuse to ban Suarez for NO reason? Holds NO real water. They CAN’T deem racism Happened as NO-one saw/heard it, they CAN’T call Suarez a racist as they can’t PROVE it & the LAW courts decide such matters NOT the FA & as such IF this case were EVER examined in depth by LAWYERS on behalf of Suarez or in a REinvestigation? Everyone KNOWS it would be torn to PIECES by an experienced brief in about FIVE minutes flat – In fact the FA are SO far from having rights to rule on this? That even FIFA could NOT argue were the LEGAL Courts of the UK to rule on it no? Remember FIFA ALWAYS Have a go when the Courts of a nation get involved in football but? NOT Here – Here? They were strangely silent? Why was THAT I wonder? Think about it – The silence of FIFA speaks volumes & should SHAME our FA or certainly panic them as WERE the case re-examined? They’d have NO support, be shredded & Humiliated for what they’ve done And they KNOW it. In short? The FA had NO right to act as they were & indeed were BEING racist by ASSUMING Luis as a foreigner did NOT understand OUR culture & They wonder WHY they get NO support at FIFA – It’s not HARD To figure out. Idiots. This WILL come back to bite the FA – BIG-time, mark my words……………

        NO ONE is going to bother going through the painful process of reading even one of your rants, let alone three of them! I only had to glance over the basic lack of grammar and the constant stream of capitalized words to appreciate that the author is a typical Liverpool-supporting moron with zero life who has nothing better to do than bore everyone else on the planet to death with his excruciating attempts at writing. Go get some medication, warm yourself up with a nice cup of cocoa, and rest your weary head in the nearest gas oven – your choice if you want to gas yourself or light that sucker up.

      I’d just like to add my comment after I wasted the minutes I did reading this typical manc rant. I can’t believe how many people have been brainwashed by this smear campaign. The victim here is Luis Suarez. I’m living in Chile where in the household I am staying in the father winds up his youngest son by calling him the same thing Evra was called by Suarez. translation “little black”. He does this because he is small, the same reason Luis caled Patrice negrito. He was mocking his size and little all men with ‘little man syndrome’ Evra bit and then besmurged Luis’ reputation to the whole world. The poeple here can not understand why the FA have supported Evra and believe he is the one who should have been punished not Luis. Bring on John Terry’s 16 match ban, bring on the boo boys. I hope we don’t chant anything on Saturday but deafen the petulant little git with boos everytime he touches the ball.

        The problem with your argument is

        1) We are not in South America. It’s England and Suarez has been in Europe long enough to know its not acceptable

        2) Context is vital. Making a comment in a lighthearted manner to family or friends is different to making it to someone you don reall know and doing so in an aggressive manner

        3) Most importantly he didn’t says Negrito. That was a myth Liverpool circulated for a bit but which wasn’t used in his defence. Suarez even admitted the word he used was Negro

          I’ve spoken to plenty of fans from other teams in person, & seen plenty of posts on nany a forum where neutrals have shown their distaste for your angelic, diving, biting knob, infact I remember some on one of your Liverpoolkop forums, where a west brom fan cast his opinion & when questioned on it he then gave his response, was then told to fuck off, what’s it gotta do with him anyway. You lot only hear what you want to hear, so open your own eyes.
          As for trying to potray evra as a serial liar, & calling on the courts again for proper justice, so that’ll be like the justice stevie g got when being so tough him & all his mates attack 1 bloke, & despite such useless dismissable evidence as cctv, he got off. Or the fact that heysel wasn’t Liverpool fans, it was chelsea?

        Can you not see the difference?

        The video you are talking about is a behind the scenes TV program of Monacos CL run. It includes a number of segments of the players messing around for the cameras one of which shows Evra switching into a Gangsta Rapper style persona for what seems a skit. He uses the word Niggez in the way that is acceptable by the Black community in America and certainly the the younger segments of he UK black community. I would assume its also acceptable in France. The context and situation is simply completely different to Suarez and its the context, tone and situation that is vital in deciding if the use of a word is offensive.

As to my “Rants” as you call them? Irrespective of whether or not You read them? They contain that substance which is sheer poison to Manchester United fans no? The truth – Or more specifically a number of Very painful Home Truths for your mob to face about the character or lack thereof in the moral pygmies & deliberate Liars/Schemers your disgrace of a (onetime) Football Club (Edit PLC) Now employ & have done for the past 2 decades.

Used the very word he claimed to be “physically repulsed by” as a JOKE a few months earlier – The same LIAR whose on FA Record as an “unreliable witness” In short? Virtually labelled a LIAR by the same FA that he now conned!! Amazing to how we All see that the pathetic Shambles masquerading as Evra & his joke of a clubs ‘Case’? Would last all of Five minutes inside a Real, Legal Court – Rather than an FA appointed firing squad – Amazing to finally how we All see that the FA’s word? Is very Far from final in this as they have No authority to label players ‘Racist’ or otherwise – the Sole such Legal (& thus FINAL) power? Resting with the English COURTS & not faceless, misguided ‘footballing’ authorities. We All know that Evra’s joke sorry ‘case’? & the accusations therein? Would last all of five minutes before being Utterly shredded by any half competent even trainee Lawyer & what a fully qualified professional never mind a senior partner would do to it? Would soon be stopped on grounds of cruelty or unfairness. Incidentally Eric? United & Evra should beware – The whole grubby affair? Isn’t likely to go away anytime soon – United & the individuals I named? Could be sued or taken to Civil court at ANY time for libel/slander/defamation of Suarez’ reputation & they would Soon be blown to bits legally with their own reputations & trustworthiness utterly destroyed beyond All redemption (other than Evra whose name & word is Already mud in football & always will be now). By contrast? Liverpool have as I said? Successfully destroyed Evra’s sorry ‘reputation’ beyond all recovery – It’s almost to be hoped that in future? When he Does Really suffer Racist Abuse which he patently did NOT that day at Anfield? Evra again goes to the authorities if only to be Ignored in public as he so surely Will be & indeed? Already Is being by his fellow professionals? That? Will only get worse & Rightly so. There was no refuge for the boy who cried wolf – But even He didn’t do it as deliberately & knowingly/Falsely as Evra. As such WHEN karma catches up with Evra (preferably with him being carried off on Saturday Never to return after Gerrard ahem catches him)? It’ll be the last we see of the lying, evil, dwarfish, backstabbing, pathetic, sunken, inept, faced little goblin from the dark side of Manchester.

      As to the League Cup? What’s wrong with celebrating getting to the Final? I recall your sorry brigade doing likewise before the Final against Aston Villa 2 seasons ago. Like Most United fans though? Logic escapes you no? As like All of them? You are a clueless, classless tw*t to the last. Look in the mirror & what will you see?

        A) I wasn’t pointing out anything about celebrating getting to the final, it was to with some of our own fans on here coming out with crap ….rant rant rant…& utd will win fuck all this year, in their smug belief that you’ve already got a trophy in the bag, which while in all honesty you should against a lower league team is not guaranteed at all.

        B) like utd did a couple of years ago against villa. Yeah, there was a real carnival in manchester that day & for the following weeks. It may be derogatory to the trophy, bit any fan with an iq in positive figures knows that cup is just a distraction & run out for the ressies/kids.
        We were & are winning countless, 19 now, league trophys either side of league cup finals, so we were hardly wanking off over beating villa.

        Look in the mirror, & you will somebody so needy, so desperate for success, that has fallen so, so far from when you were a proud club 20 odd years ago, to something that annually struggles to even compete in the top4, blames evra for your woeful league position instead of that Dick kenny, long may he stay, while I do think that yes, suarez has some fast feet & great skills, check how many goals, which I do believe football is all about, & to be honest, which as a Liverpool fan you will clearly struggle with, & perhaps you will see that perhaps the 65m spent on your strike pair with a goal return heskey, another anfailed legend, would be ashamed of,
        Oh, & clueless, thousands worshipping Gillette & hicks as saviours in your desperate clamour to keep up with united? Priceless!

      Eric the King. You utter mug. The views of the few people you’ve spoken to in person or on the odd internet forums are not representative of the rest of the world either. You tit.

      Nevermind Gerrard. Nevermind Heysel. Both irrelevant.

      Evra is a liar.

        So pointing out that scousers are liars then accusing another man of being a liar is irrelevant? God, I do feel a right tit now.
        Kuyt kept changing his witness statement. Shall we chuck him in the liar barrel as well?
        Never ending with you pricks.

        • Joe 13:01 on January 27, 2012 Permalink

          Yes it is irrelevant you absolute clown. You should feel like a right tit.

          If you want to discuss how you believe scousers are liars or hypocrites, why do so in thread about Patrice Evra, the Suarez case and whether or not Evra should play tomorrow?

          By all means bring Kuyt into the equation. Not irrelevant at all.

    United battle to crucial win; Arsenal 1 Manchester United 2 

    Having returned to winning ways the previous week by beating Bolton Wanderers, United travelled down to London to face Arsenal in a crunch game for the reds. Traditionally, the fixture between United and Arsenal has been one full of controversy and excitement, as the two great rivals collided to decide the fate of the league title. However, with Arsenal languishing outside of the top four and fresh off the back of two back to back defeats, United were strong favourites going into the clash despite having a relatively poor record at the Emirates stadium. An injury to Rio Ferdinand saw a forced change at the heart of United’s defence, with Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling charged with dealing with the prolific Robin Van Persie. (More …)

    Book Review – The Big Book of United: Goalscorers and Champions 

    There are lots of books written about Manchester United on subjects like great players, the history, rivalries, classic matches and season reviews. There have been some really great books written on these subjects but also some really poor efforts as well. This Christmas, I was given one of the latest books to be written on the club – ‘The Big Book of United: Goalscorers and Champions’ and it definitely fell into the category of a really good book.

    Reds return to winning ways; Manchester United 3 Bolton Wanderers 0 

    Following last weekends FA cup frivolities, United returned to league action with a clash against Lancashire rivals Bolton Wanderers. Having suffered two consecutive defeats in the league, and now lagging 3 points behind leaders City, United knew that victory was essential in order to maintain their title bid. Having returned to action in dramatic circumstances last week, Paul Scholes was handed his first start upon return to the club alongside Michael Carrick, in one of only 3 changes to the United line up.

    Morrison vs. Morrison 

    I remember when I was still playing football on a regular and competitive basis. One weekend our team traveled to Olney, Maryland to play against their travel team. Here in the States, we don’t have academies, really; we have what we call “select” or “travel.” Aside from ODP (Olympic Development Program), it’s the closest we have to competitive youth football.

    So, we get there and the atmosphere is pretty typical. Olney was known for being a dirty team. Even the parents were dirty – yelling at the opposing team’s kids, swearing, threatening, etc. We never ever liked playing them. From the get-go, their kids are acting like total heathens. It quickly turns into a battle. As the game got into the last few minutes, one of their players slides in studs up – from behind – and takes down our sweeper. In the heat of the moment, I chase him down, a la Wayne Rooney, and absolutely take him out. The play was dead. Everyone saw it. Ref shows me red. I knew it was coming. I storm off the pitch, more upset at how out of hand the game had gotten than actually getting the red. My coach grabs my arm, looks at me, and reprimands me for stooping to their level. I didn’t want to hear him, so I grabbed my bag and stormed off to the car to wait, a la Balotelli. He was old and he didn’t get it. He was out of touch with the game. I was 13 and that’s exactly what I was thinking at that exact moment. In that instance, I had no desire to listen to anyone. I was above it all. I was right; I was defending my player; I wasn’t going to be told otherwise. Sound familiar?

      You got it right mate. Success comes to those who are patient. It may be all over for the lad before he knows it. The problem with young people is that they think they know it all. By the time they realize their mistake it is too late to turn the wheel.

    Specialist Or Powerhouse?…Whats The Answer For MUFC At Right Back? 

    The Faithful welcomes guest writer Kim Willott to our website. Here is her thoughts on our dilemma we currently have at right-back

    As you know the injury problems of our defence has risen over the past few weeks, with Jonny Evans now being added to a long list of United players out of action. With Gary Neville deciding it was time to frame the shirt and hang it above his bed last season, it was time for somebody else to step up to the plate. Since then we’ve had Rafael, Fabio, Smalling, Jones and on the odd occasion, Valencia filling in at right back. It’s a problem that’s been facing us for quite some time and needs to be resolved sooner rather than later. (More …)

     
    • Craig 22:53 on January 13, 2012 Permalink | Reply

      I think Kim has made some very good points here. Kim has indentifed that at right back we definately have ‘strength in depth’. However I summise from the information that we should be very worried, and not positive as the article suggests.

      My theory is based on the following: Injuries, loss of form and other reasons have meant that Vidic, Ferdinand and Evans have been absent. Jones has been used in midfield, Carrick has been centre back, Valencia has been right back. This rings alarm bells for me. With the departures of O Shea and Brown we are actually short of future talent with no experienced back-up players. If you partner this issue with no real sufficent cover for an ever-ageing, increasingly inconsistent Patrice Evra we have further defensive issues. Zak Fryers is emerging as a quality replacement, but is a few years off being adequate cover for Evra.

      I think this is a problem systemic in the United squad. In midfield we have recalled Scholes out of retirement. Whilst I believe that a 50 year old Paul Scholes would still be better than most midfielders currently playing in the Premier League I fear that continued speculation that our future stars are dpearting, we are going to be frightenly short of a midfield to support our plethora of strikers.

      In summary, for a team that is supposedly in decline we are sitting pretty in the league. But lets not think that everything is rosey!

      Good article. Not finished reading it just yet, but what I’ll say is that I have been overly impressed with Smalling and Jones at right back, especially the former as I never thought he had the ability to perform as consistently as he has shown. Personally, I would like to see Rafael back, rightfully it’s his position and he made it his own last season, however, down to injuries he hasn’t been able to cement his first team status. What I don’t want to see though, is Valencia being shifted to the back as it really limits our attacking options. It’s not to say Valencia is poor as a right back, far from it, but we with the form he has been in over the past month – it’s pretty stupid playing him at the back.

    The Curious Cases of Paul Pogba and Ravel Morrison 

    Gibson has already gone... is Pogba next?

    Social networks have many plusses and an equal amount of negatives, none of which I will go in to here in much detail. Personally I use Twitter as a forum to discuss many things, none more than United, with people from all over the world. But one thing is abundantly clear from using this forum, and that is the majority of ‘fans’ on there act like hormone-ravaged schoolgirls at a Justin Beiber concert when it comes to Paul Pogba and Ravel Morrison. Recent news of moves away for the two talented youngsters has sent the fan-boys and girls into melt down. The level of hysteria shown by the masses of United related tweeters have surpassed the feelings shown when Ronaldo left, when Rooney threw his wage-related paddy or when Scholes retired. The statements I have read have filled me with a plethora of emotions ranging from disgusted to embarrassed, annoyed to just down-right confused. I read calls for Fergie losing the plot because we aren’t doing enough to secure their signatures. I witnessed tweets where people have actually abused Morrison and his girlfriend because he is rumoured to be moving to Newcastle. What the hell is going on people? (More …)

      We already have our graduate from the academy which may be at the same level with Becks, Scholes, Butt and the like and that’s Tom Cleverly (really hope to see him back in Feb.). No need to worry if Pogba or Morrison would leave cept they’d be fools if they think they can go to a better club.

      Nice post, i must say. This panic is exaggerated.
      But, you can not deny that we invested a lot in these 2 guys already, they are one of the best youngsters on the island and losing them would mean that we are doing something wrong in our scholar policy.

      I can see that clubs getting those players for nothing would mean that we are a feeder club. The lack of loyalty that these players show (or the media show) is their problem and it’s unacceptable. But, onthe other side, we are living in a different context then the young Giggsy era, so we must adaprt on the market and show that we are competitive financially to keep our best players.

      Pique probably worth about 30 million now and Rossi at Villareal is probably worth about the same. No brilliant bit of business letting those go on the cheap. I agree Fergie is a great manager but I have to question some of his decisions at times. Manchester United will always be bigger than one invidual and that includes Pogba, Morrison and SAF!!!!! Roy Keane made a few good points a week or 2 ago after our dreadful showing in Basel!

      It would be a real shame to see these two lads go, especially Pogba. I’ve been a season ticket holder for three years, and have watched the reserves for around 4, including Pogba debut. I think that it is true that we cannot get held to ransom, but I do feel to lose BOTH Pogba and Morrison would be a real disaster and show a decline in the clubs ambitions. Although I agree (if the stories are true), I would have to say I would rather see Ravel leave as opposed to Pogba, as Pogba seems more interested in playing football (shame about his agent), whereas Morrison seems to have a few screws loose. With the departure of Darron Gibson too, it has be be pointed out the wage bill has dropped, and surely this is enough to sign either Pogba or Morrison?
      I think it would be a real disaster to lose either of them and see them go on to great success, and after all the praise SAF has been giving Pogba, I really do hope he does not let it happen.

    United bounce back to knock out City; Manchester City 2 Manchester United 3 

    Following two disastrous consecutive losses, United faced league leaders and rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup third round, looking to avoid a hat trick of defeats, a record United have preserved since 2001. Having succumbed to a humiliating 6-1 reverse scoreline at Old Trafford earlier in the season, the reds were keen to make amends and set the record straight, albeit whilst in their worst run of form of the campaign. United welcomed back Chris Smalling to the defence alongside Rio Ferdinand, with Phil Jones occupying a right back slot after enduring a difficult evening against Demba Ba in midweek. Wayne Rooney was looking to score his 12th derby goal for United, and assure the fans he was committed to club following reports that he is looking to move on in the near future, as he partnered Danny Welbeck in an attacking United line up. Pre match chatter however was diverted towards the shock inclusion of United legend Paul Scholes amongst the substitutes, with news that Scholesy is taking up a playing role with the club for the remainder of the season to avert the current injury crisis. It was to be the first twist in what was a bizarre afternoon of football.

    A crackling atmosphere encouraged the home side to a strong start, controlling large amounts of possession and keeping United pinned back into their half for the opening 10 minutes. It was the red half of Manchester that struck the first blow however, when on 10 minutes, the much scrutinised Rooney bravely met Antonio Valencia’s cross to head United into the lead, triggering a match altering 5 minutes. Minutes after taking the lead, United were handed yet another boost, as City skipper Vincent Kompany was dismissed for a two footed lunge on Nani handing the reds a man advantage for the remaining 70 minutes of the tie. United asserted their dominance on the half hour mark, as they doubled their lead through Danny Welbeck, who pounced upon a loose ball in the City penalty area to volley home into the bottom corner. A dream half was complete for United when 5 minutes before the break, Ryan Giggs’s reverse pass to Danny Welbeck saw the England striker chopped down by a rash challenge from Alexsander Kolarov, handing the reds the chance to take a 3 goal lead from the spot. Stand in City keeper Pantilimon saved Rooney’s spot kick, but couldn’t prevent him from nodding home the rebound for his second of the game, sending the 6000 reds into a delirious celebratory Poznan!
