[mediacorpforever]

Well, given our armature finishing against WBA, and given that SAF will again for whatever reason not putting its first 11, i think this game we're in for a trashing big time. Yeah, a trashing is what we need to wake the players up. Hopefully, United will prove me wrong but i seriously doubt it! :( :(

Winning this game is hugely important to boost the morale of our players despite the fact that Chelsea are already on their summer holidays. But I don't think United will manage it too.

In an ideal World though ,I hope we would end our season on a high by beating Chelsea and then winning the FA Cup beating arsenal. :)

[SimpleDude]

Ya we badly need a midfield general to spray good crosses and is an expert in set pieces.

i won't be surprise chelsea get something from this game...the players look no mood play this season they wnat to finnish the season asap like that...

[AhHuat]

from my analysis.....given jose mourinho's pattern and attitude...

he will not want to lose this game at old trafford...he want to keep his face....since he is a sore loser.....even though they won the epl....

i guess it will be a draw...or could be even a win to chelsea...

[RVN]

We got to win. Its about us getting a good run leading to the fa cup final , and our "first team" needs games. Confidence is easily lost and going into the final against an in form Arse and we go in after losing against Chelsea and Southampton is fooking madness. :s22:

We need to instill confidence before the Cup Final and before next season kicks off, and the best way of doing that is getting a result against this year's run away champions.

The spirit of Man Utd is never give up and give 100% in every match.

If you have seen what Man Utd is in the 1980's then you might as well say, what the point of Man Utd being a football club, they got relegated to 2nd division.

I am quite contented by this season performance, with this kind of luck(in scoring) and the team not in syn with each other but Man Utd still at 3rd place. Whew.

The last time this kind of situation happen, Man Utd got relegated to a lower division.

IMHO.

[Ronaldo7]

the match against chelsea is our last home game of the season . lets hope fergie & the team don't disappoint us again :s8:

[nakitas]

Like i'd said, tnite's game is for pride... N hopefully a win against Chelski will have t same impact as our win over Arsenal... If ManUtd still have t mentally of they r t best, then it'll b real trouble... T players need to bring themselves down, b humble and get things done...

[MatrixFanatic]

This season's performance is better than last season. So it's an improvement. More luck is needded regarding goals. :s22:

Morale is low in the camp... and I still feel it's a good time to bleed the youngsters and reserves rather than playing for pride... As I mentioned last week, the 2nd place is beyond us. and Fergie should use this time to throw in youngsters and reserves, to have a good evaluation of them and give them some experience.. This game against Chelsea meant nothing. Chelsea has nothing left to play for.. Man Utd still have the FA Cup finals.. I'd rather Fergie throw in reserves rather than have more injuries to our first team from playing in remaining games.

True, but i think that any team United fields tonite will definitely show some pride and give the game a good go... but will also like to see some of the kids in action, esp. Rossi :D

Lyn blame Blues over Mikel
by Kent Hedlundh - created on 9 May 2005

Norwegian outfit Lyn have told Chelsea that they only have themselves to blame for failing to land Nigerian starlet John Obi Mikel.

The Blues are said to be furious after 18-year-old Obi Mikel signed for Manchester United on a four-year deal.

Chelsea had believed they had agreed a deal for Mikel - but instead United stole in and agreed a multi-million package with Oslo-based Lyn.

Last year Chelsea had opened talks about a potential co-operation agreement, but the Blues' lacklustre approach to this seems to have soured relations and eventually cost them one of the most highly rated youngsters in world football.

"If they had respected us, things might have been different," said Lyn director Morgan Andersen.

"We don't know that, but they [Chelsea] have only got themselves to blame.

"I don't say Chelsea can't be angry about it, but the transfer is in order."

Anderson claims that Chelsea could not have come to an agreement with Mikel and if they did, then what they did was illegal.

"In case they claim to have rights to Mikel, they have done something illegal and I expect Fifa to take that very seriously," he warned.

Anderson explained that Chelsea's decision to send youth boss Gwyn Williams to Norway last year, rather than chief executive Peter Kenyon - did not sit well with Lyn.

"He [Williams] was too busy with his mobile and other things so I had to leave the meeting," said Anderson.

Chelsea did come back for Mikel last month, but it was too little too late to secure a deal.

"They have overlooked us until the last few weeks and then what they offered was not good enough," Anderson confirmed.


Hmm... judging by the hoo-ha created, i think United has gotten itself quite a promising player :D

[ChenHoNam]

really boh?
this person unknown until i dunno waddafugs he is....

see wat kind of player he turn out to be next time.....

[Ronaldo_7]

haha it might be a trap from chelsea to let manu get this youngster....den underperform. hehehe
i not chelsea fan ah......dun say bad abt me.
i also worry abt this kind of thing happening lor... hope he will be a good player for us

[usjag_18]

I am not sure whether I am right to say that or not. But I notice that when Liverpool and Newcastle United won over Chelsea, they scored an early goal. So I am thinking if we are able to score an early goal and concentrate on attacking the first half, then defend on 2nd half, so maybe able to stablise the game.

So what do U guys think? Got any ideas?


Cheers'

[Ronaldo_7]

hmmm... perhaps bah.. stun them with early goal.. then defend liaoz...

currently Utd cant score, cant defend,,,,,

tonight match has no significance,,it is just a pride thing for either manager.

The match on next Sunday will be a thriller,,when MU goes St Mary Stadium to face Southampton. The saint must win to survive the fall,,will be interesting to see if MU will collapse again against the last of the 4 bottom clubs that they had played recently.

United gamble on casino

MANCHESTER United are applying to the Government for a licence to build a casino on land close to Old Trafford.

Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell has already been forced to massively scale down plans to allow a number of casinos to be built throughout the United Kingdom, initially due to the scale of opposition to her proposals, then in an effort to squeeze legislation through before last week's General Election.

It is widely assumed Blackpool will be handed the one licence currently on offer, with other other hopeful areas left to wait and see whether Jowell attempts to revisit her original plans during the new session of Parliament.

Manchester City have previously outlined their own plans for a casino at Eastlands but now United are putting forward a forceful case, citing a massive regeneration of Salford Quays as the worthiness of their argument.

Together with leading hotel, entertainment and gaming company Las Vegas Sands Corp, United hope to build a luxury five-star hotel, restaurants, health club, sports bar and a regional casino on the Trafford Park side of the ground.

Coupled with the successful Lowry Centre and Imperial War Museum North, the plans will create the largest cultural village outside central London and would also include a new Metrolink station, improved bus routes and additional parking spaces on the site.

Should their plans meet with approval, it is hoped the Red Devils could regenerate a wider area around the stadium, raising the potential for more recreation and entertainment-based businesses for use by the local community.

"The club are delighted to be part of this exciting project, working with such a leading organisation as Las Vegas Sands and with Trafford Council," said United commercial director Andy Anson.

"If selected, it will provide first class entertainment and accommodation on one of the most famous sporting sites in the world and create jobs and generate income for the local economy.

"There is a lot of work still to be done and any plans will of course consider the social issues associated with gambling and we will take expert advice on putting an agreed plan in place to deal with those matters comprehensively."

Trafford Council's executive has agreed in principle to support the joint proposal from Manchester United plc and Las Vegas Sands and has made an initial bid for a licence for a regional-scale casino in Trafford.



Greats news if it happen. we’ll make more money from… errrrr…. Mostly desperate gambling addicts who are financially ruined and in desperate need of help. :s22:

[AhHuat]

hopeless......we are resorting to such means of finding money

[chengsun]

very clever, never know the board are as wise as our singapore gahment

[yulee]

Wah - this casino-fever seems to be catching on everywhere! :eek:

[nakitas]

Chelski have too much money to spend... Dunno how to spend...

ManUtd is bz looking for money to spend... Dun want to spend...

[yulee]

Although ManU and Chelski spent almost a similar amout this season - Chelski seemed to have got more bang for thier money; ManU seemed to had more "Lemons" ie turn sour

wah u kong similan? only Rooney cost $$$. Smith, Heinze mid-priced. Saha, Djemba2, Forlan, Klerbersen all from previous seasons and some discarded liao. Millar, Bellion free transfers.

Carvalho, Drogba, Ferreira, Cech all $$$$ plus Robben (good value), that Czech benchwarmer
Duff, Lampard, Cole, Makelele, Parker etc previous season...

Mikel hit with threats
NEW Manchester United midfielder John Obi Mikel was forced into hiding by threats after agreeing his deal with the Reds.

The 18-year-old Nigerian was whisked away to a hotel for five days by his club, Lyn Oslo, after revealing he had received menacing text messages and phone calls.

Mikel confirmed that he had received threats from England and from Nigeria, believed to be from people claiming a financial interest in the player.

"He still has the phone calls, but not as bad as it was right after he signed," says a Norwegian source.

He is due to complete the Norwegian season with Lyn - coached by former United defender Henning Berg - before linking up with the Reds in October.

The playmaker is already at the centre of a heated argument between United and Chelsea, who believed they had first option on his signature.

United nipped in to take the player a week after his 18th birthday, leaving Chelsea threatening legal action.

The deal is being reported in Norway as being worth over £8m, should Mikel go on to become a top player, although the Reds have refused to put a figure on the deal, saying it is below the £5m threshold, above which they declare the figures to the Stock Exchange

[wawawa]

wth..chelsea spend like 200 million POUND
u put the whole manu squad i dun even think it reach that figure

[Kakashi82]

Man U transfers
--------------------------
Gabriel Heinze = 6.9m
Liam Miller = free
Wayne Rooney = 30m
Alan Smith = 7 m
-----------------------------
Total = 43.9m

Chelsea transfers
--------------------------
Petr Cech = 7m
Didier Drogba = 24m
Mateja Kezman = ard 5m
Arjen Robben = 12m
Ricardo Carvalho = ard 18m
--------------------------
Total = 66m already and I think I missed out on some players like Tiago,Geremi cos I do not know their transfer fees

Chelsea like S.H.I.T.!!! In the first place, Lyn Oslo players are coached by Henning Berg and to everyone knowledge, he used to be Man Utd player. No way he will not let Man Utd get a better player. And most important is, Man Utd also asked A.Robben first, but in the end, didn't he choose to go Chelsea? It's the same for Mikel. Since he chosen Man Utd. Tat means he already made his choice. Those Chelsea fans & JM can go to H.E.L.L if they dare to threaten our players again!!!

[croc1977]

this is a with pace and curve....leh my friend...
even the legend peter also cannot save that...

[MatrixFanatic]

That's the way Fletcher. Show Manutd fans you are not lousy. Almost did a Tiago lol. :eek:

[MatrixFanatic]

[croc1977]

gd nite guys...
lose 2-1 already....

[croc1977]

think abt it...no terry,no duff no robben we still lose....

[MatrixFanatic]

Wahahahah stupid Gallas.

[RVN]

Our defence went asleep for the 2nd goal, damm curse the luck Fletcher had earlier hit the cross-bar before Gudjohnsen scored. :o

[kahmun7]

there goes...
sigh..

[RVN]

3-1, that goal was offside. :mad:

Our defence went to sleep again. this is absolutely terrible, a weakened, tired Chelsea side has absolutely played United off the park. :s27:

[kahmun7]

2nd goal really Ronaldo's and Rio's fault..
Ronaldo should really get up straight instead of protesting and giving the chance to CHelsea to counter...
Rio was sleeping as Gudjohnsen goes passed him unchallenged..
*snicker... world's best defender my foot

[RVN]

FT: 3-1 I am sick, I want this seaosn to end sooner. :mad:



1. This is our strongest team apart from Heinze, that is their 2nd team and their beating us 3-1, how ******* embarrassing is that.

2. Everything we have done tonight has gone down the middle and it has not worked. Surely these thick footballers can see that and start to use the width?

3. Chelsea do nothing but put 10 players behind the ball so the other team keeps coming forward and then try and break, soooo boring.

4. If we play like this against Arsenal were going to get well and truely battered!!!

5. We need a big change in the summer, and I mean BIG!

This is no way United standards, hasnt been all season, we need money.

[kahmun7]

well there goes our home record as well...
Chelsea completed the double against us...
close my eyes.. and hope... next season will be better than this abysmal effort...

[AhHuat]

guys i told u chelsea going to nick it today
i had not been very impressed with manutd's consistency for the past two seasons....

"hope next season will be better" - > come on dun deceive ourselves man....

UNLESS major revamp have been done ....i dun see manutd challenging at all fronts again.....any soon.

its cold hard fact....we gotta be realistic.

[AhHuat]

did u guys see SAF expression on tv just now?
he simply shows that he already lost the plot.


come on man...step down this season and dun ruin manutd pls

[AhHuat]

two years on a row without even challenging closely for the title....
5 years ago since we won the champions league....

we are in for a deep sh.it....

[AhHuat]

nothing to say ?

[RVN]

A big summer change needed. A new Gk is a must. The 3 we have at the moment are not good enough. Out of the 3 I'd keep Tim, and get rid of Carroll and Ricardo. Bring in a decent goalkeeper and a sign another on a free transfer as backup.

Not sure, but I think we need a completely new Central Defensive partnership. Our midfield needs freshening up. It's too old, and gets the run around far too much these days.
Obviously we shouldn't sell either Keane or Scholes, rather reduce the amount of times they play in a season and gradually build the team around the 2 new CMs. Imo, Scholes has had more poor games these last 2 seasons than good ones, but he's still one of the best in the world 'on his day'.
**** knows who those players will be. Especially if we've got no money. Unless we find a rich billionaire to take over us, oh please not Glazer for **** sakes. :s27:

[stipe]

i rather we sell keane.

cannot understand why favourtism is such a strong flavour in fergie's book and he had to resort to changing his tactics to suit keano.

sell keane. sell fortune (cannot stand him)

agree... its time he leaves... but who in the board can force him to leave?

the last thing i wanna hear from him, is that he asks for a chance to build a title winning team and then he leaves!

i am not over-reacting. given the chances that he had since 1999 to repeat the CL win, he did not take the chances.

[o0KelviN0o]

Not sure, but I think we need a completely new Central Defensive partnership. Our midfield needs freshening up. It's too old, and gets the run around far too much these days.
Obviously we shouldn't sell either Keane or Scholes, rather reduce the amount of times they play in a season and gradually build the team around the 2 new CMs. Imo, Scholes has had more poor games these last 2 seasons than good ones, but he's still one of the best in the world 'on his day'.
**** knows who those players will be. Especially if we've got no money. Unless we find a rich billionaire to take over us, oh please not Glazer for **** sakes. :s27:

need to overhaul the team.........

[yulee]

Overhaul the manager...

[rza29]

need to overhaul the team.........

major overhaul in the midfield department. the young guns (beckham,nevilles,scholes) of yesteryear is lao kok kok now. major major overhaul needed. scholes has not been performing well for some time...think he needs a major break or something. keano does not seem to have the fire in him anymore. nevilles getting weak...rvn losing winning touch..saha injury prone, miller (1 of the best in scotland, now virtual unknown),keblerson (dunno wat he is for...), fortune (needs to eat more fortune cookie), carroll (contract wrangler-mind u, u r in 1 of the biggest club in the world..ask west brom to buy u then), ricardo (almost nv see him play b4)...silvestre (super ball giver n loser last nite), brown (almost causing an embrarassing goal by gallas), ferdinand (is he worth 100,000 p/weel, i guess not from his performance of late..i would use 1/2 tat $ to get jamie carragher)

i will say, breed the young lads tat has been talk tat they r very promising...brg them in, for the last game of the season, i would put the young guns in to play...spector,eagles,rossi,richardson (if he wasn't on loan),Pique,Bellion,Ebanks-Blake

[Kakashi82]

Maybe should drop the entire first team and play the reserve team for the last EPL match and maybe the FA Cup final too.

[Rizumu]

Sack SAF and hire either Paul le Guen or Guus Hinddik or any other good manager.

Sell Roy Carroll. Buy a decent Goalkeeper. Kameni from Espanyol is my personal favourite.

Stop using Gary Neville as a first choice right back and buy a young decent right back.

Sell Kleberson.

Buy Xavi (if possible) to replace Scholes, and any good defensive midfielder to replace Keane.

Sell Saha and buy any other player regardless of position that can do a considerable contribution to Man Utd.

[yulee]

Hope ManU can stop the rot before the next season... otherwise end up like Liverpool...

[United_Tremble]

united_treble say man u best team in europe, how to be when cannot win chels reserv, norwich c n wba lousy hahahahahah

[wawawa]

i dun think the prob lies with the players....rather the way manu style of playing...and who causes that??it should be the coaching team...manu nowadays cant seem to produce a pass to the penalty box,resulting in relying ronaldo and roony to take long shots outside.

i think they will use the pre-season to get back everything in proper

[wawawa]

and when u'r playing this way......u cant expect rvn to contribute much to the team...he aint getting any services..

somemore i think manu very suay....every year got distraction outside field 1....the glazer thingy la....

[Raul7]

i also agree :)

[nakitas]

After watching last nite's match, i'd totally given up hope on ManUtd liao... They r juz a class below Chelski... ManUtd started playing like midtable clubs like... Get prepared for t fact the ManUtd have turned into another Liverpool or Newcastle... N dnt b surprise if t slip continues for t coming seasons lor...

I wont b too concern of who we r signing, it wont matter too much liao... T only hope i see is t departure of Fergie-old-fool... He'd totally lost it, it aint his line-ups, aint his mind games, juz tat he can no longer do t job liao... :(

[o0KelviN0o]

where to d/l the goals? :(

painful... but I still wanna see :o

i am refering to those fans :o

[OKK77]

My TV decided to act weird exactly before the match started. Blessing in disguise, perhaps. But the scoreline is still...grrrrrrr.

[AhHuat]

i had ran out of superlatives to comment further....

3 basic stuffs though....

1. new manager
2. money
3. new players

period

[nakitas]

i am refering to those fans :o

Then u talking abt me??? :s13:

[Ronaldo_7]

guys i told u chelsea going to nick it today
i had not been very impressed with manutd's consistency for the past two seasons....

"hope next season will be better" - > come on dun deceive ourselves man....

UNLESS major revamp have been done ....i dun see manutd challenging at all fronts again.....any soon.

its cold hard fact....we gotta be realistic.
haiz.. sad but got to admit.. its very true.. we need a major revamp on our team manz.. haiz sux!! better nt meet any stupid chelsea fan today... :s27:

[kahmun7]

the sadder part is Chelsea broke Man Utd's record of most point in a season, and halted our home unbeaten streak... really double whammy yesterday...

Scholesy really underperformed big time yesterday... and Rio, the way he marked Gudjohnsen for that second goal, really does not justify the 100k he is demanding. heck.. the whole team, looks dead to me... sigh... if we have fielded a second fiddle team and lost, I would have understand, this is really unacceptable... The only one I think who performed well yesterday was Rooney...The rest really need to go home and take a look at themselves...

We need some new midfield generals, Though Keano's presence is still important, but I think Scholesy really disappoint. GK a must... I think if Howard is playing it would have been worst.. and Caroll let in 3... sigh... getting no help from Rio, somehow, if Rio wants to leave, and we get lots of money to strengthen the squad... seems not such a bad idea after all

at first it was defence problem when Rio is not around, then it became offence prob when Ruud was not around, but when both of them back... both defence and offence also got problem.. I don't know what to say anymore.. sigh.. we just su.cked

[AhHuat]

kahmun bro....since when scholes is performing?

for the past few seasons...his form got up and down one....
and worsely.....this season....he forced me to name him "invisible scholes"

he hardly contribute to the game...

i guess he go div1 or div2 play la...knn :s8:

[chengsun]

the better team won :(

3rd time in 4th season we are going to finish 3rd . good time to filter out those glory hunters . :)

good, let's see who is still with us next season!

if fergie is still at helm next season....

i can more or less guess wat will happen there after

[nakitas]

if fergie is still at helm next season....

i can more or less guess wat will happen there after

If Fergie still around, we continue to rant at him lor... He looked veri puzzled last nite leh, like dunno y his team is losing also...

[chengsun]

no one is indispensable, who wanna go, go, who wanna stay, prove the worth, while we have to appreciate some of theose oldies contribution, they gotto do their job. I wont say SAF is doing a good job, neither I will say his is very bad. Players are the one in the field playing the game, not the manager. Manager can have the best 11 in the world there to play, but if the players dun perform, still the same.
青黄不接 is the phrase I will use to describe our situation. Oldies cant last long, not as repliable as last time, yet the young guns not able to take over the resposibility.If you dun play all the players from the squad of 99 treble champions, I dun see any of the new guys have the leadership qualityto be out there to lead the team.
Chealsea is a relatively very young, and their time is yet to come, provided they can be together long enough, which I hope, curse, swear they wont. look at Juventus, Milan, they are doing a good job to let younger generation taking over. Tachinardi, Conte, all those no more there, replace with Matteo Brighi, Zabromta, Camoranesi, Emerson, and the Ghanaian.
Oldies can remain, but the role must shift......

[AhHuat]

If Fergie still around, we continue to rant at him lor... He looked veri puzzled last nite leh, like dunno y his team is losing also...
haha u noe wat?

he must be thinking....

"knn i field my best eleven liao leh , why still lidat ?"

carlos querioz : " bo bian la , my portuguese counterpart too strong liao la....u buay kan already la "

:)

[cracker]

if fergie is still at helm next season....

i can more or less guess wat will happen there after


he is on a rolling contract from next season onwards, but I hope he will step down during the summer.

compare the MU of 2003, 2004 and 2005.

the main bulk of the players are still ard...just tat the keeper has changed, plus one famous no.7 had left. But the quality of crosses had been pathetic for the last 2 seasons, Fergie is crazy to think tat Ole can fill Beckham's role although the norwegian did supply the cross for Giggs to head home during the game with Arsenal in the 2003 season.

Ruud is a good finisher, but if there is no supply from the flanks; he is finished !
The current no.7 likes to hold on the ball for too long or wayang here and there. Of his crosses, maybe ~60% can meet the target. From the left flank, giggs also CMI and when he is not playing,,,it is even worse.

Rooney and Smith like to charge in from outside the penalty box. Hence they really need a good crosser. The current better one who can cross from the right is Gary Nevile and his success rate is only ~ 50%.

anyway we can talk and write till August, but final decision is up to MU's mgt board

[AhHuat]

yeah cracker....agreed with wat u said...

our crossing percentage had been fairly poor....
if fergie or the next new manager going to stick the same playin style or with target man....
they need gd crossers man.....

and i hope they can be flexible on their formations....dun stick 4-5-1 la....
too rigid and inflexible will cause one's downfall....

[Ronaldo_7]

they yest play what formation huhz?

[AhHuat]

they yest play what formation huhz?
they got full squad...

playing 4-4-1-1 it seems....rooney drop deep with rvn up front

[blackevil_2000]

maybe older winger like figo will help

[AhHuat]

yeah...we must learn wat sam allardyce is doing...

look at his signings....and look where bolton is now...

he hardly contribute to the game...

i guess he go div1 or div2 play la...knn :s8:
har har... huat bro, got lar.. think right after his international retirement still got some spark.. but after that.. like you said lor.. invisible....

Crosses... after Becks left, really pathetic... but shooting also pathetic what... so much shots.. but so few converted... the whole team really needs major overhaul... think the only consistant ones are Heinze and Rooney.. the rest... sigh... bunch of pathetic garbage... including the manager...

[o0KelviN0o]

the whole team is becoming like garbage... less Heinze, Rooney, Smith & a few significant others...

high wages??? **** it! :s8:

i think even if we didn't do double against them they are still more than please to beat us.. after all the hiatus, and them also in danger of ending the season trophyless... I see them as the better team currently, if we play the way we did this season, for next season... Arsenal will be a bigger threat to Chelsea next season... we are simply not good enough...

depend on our players ego whether they can take the fight to the gunners as well, but going by our current woeful dispaly, Its unlikely. :o

Ferguson is upbeat despite defeat

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased with his side's approach against Chelsea despite seeing them lose 3-1 to the new champions. "Once Chelsea's second goal went in they were worthy winners," he said.

"I didn't expect us to get second place after a disappointing result against West Brom on Saturday.

"But tonight was about trying to keep our confidence up and on the whole it was good. That is the one thing I can take out of the game."

Ferguson was impressed by the way both teams performed and felt it was an entertaining game.

"The tempo was fantastic and anyone watching as a neutral would be thrilled by the football played," he added.

"I thought we played some good football , the match was very competitive and it was really a game for professionals."


What??????Fergie interview is getting more and more senile every match. Our passing was terrible, and our poor midfield were all invisible, how do we gain confidence from such cr@p performances. :s22:

[Ronaldo_7]

i always see good things in the post match report.. be it a victory or a loss...duno whats going on manz... :s22:

[kahmun7]

really... that was good football? total crap...
How can that kind of performance keep any confidence up at all? if it's at all up in the first place..
the players' confidence is so low, you have to dig all the way down to hell to retrieve it...
they looked like the sorriest bunch of garbage... this is stark raving MAD!!!

[AhHuat]

i lived until today....haven seen a person with so farking thick skin like fergie....

remained upbeat despite defeat?
tell him go drill a hole in wall and fark himself

[Ronaldo7]

actually the first half was quite alright what :s22: the bottomline is that we lost to a better team than us , and we are talking about a team that has suffered only one defeat all season and just broke the record for the number of points collected in a season .

i know many of us are unhappy with the defeat , but losing is part of the game . i am sure fergie will give the players some 'treatment' in the dressing room and i don't think it's wise before a cup final to criticise the players in public isn't it ?

[rVn_mUfC]

United had nvr played 100% in the league since being out of contention in the league. I am sure they will up for the FA Cup clash. Although ppl might say there r pride to play for, but the fact is there is a cup final coming v soon, and i do think the main thing is to get player such as RVN and Saha to get some match practice n i also sure player will save their body instead of getting injured.Lastly , i am not saying their performance is acceptable in fact is far from it. Hope we win the FA Cup, i believe they can.

[AhHuat]

yeah lets debate after the cup final and comment on this season's overall performance.

[croc1977]

i rather we sell keane.

cannot understand why favourtism is such a strong flavour in fergie's book and he had to resort to changing his tactics to suit keano.

sell keane. sell fortune (cannot stand him)
i agree....

cos yesterday the way we played scholes is trying to compensate keano pace....that why schloes performace is drop...even we played like 4-4-2 put truefully we played like 4-4-1-1 we both scholes and keano as DM...
i agree he is really gd...but he has to go and fergie has to spend sone $$ to buy a good DM not miller,jambajamba and klerberson...they are not gd....

i rather he played P.Nevile played to postition....he was good in that postition...but NOT played him as a left/right back.....he is very jialat....

also we have to improve on crossing and freekicks and coners...we don't have that kinda of plaers since BECKS...i rather what man u buy becks back for 1-2 season .at least he can played there at least ard those time for time being and we can look and train another furture stars...

we do miss his cross and free kicks...

yesterday even rooney and keano must take corners...crazy...

[Raul7]

i just saw the highlights..... stupid defending....i personally think Rio should be blamed for the 2nd chelsea goal. sorry guys if i say too harsh words on Rio....

[Raul7]

i agree....

Since Beckham left Utd, nobody seem to replace him as a good crosser imo...

[AhHuat]

its not harsh...since norwich game till now...
rio had not been impressive....

[chengsun]

guys, shall we just stop all the bashing, rubbish on our team, especially in other threads while obviously other fans just wanna make fun of, or i will say insult, our team/ppl. it is never nice of such behaviour.

yes, it is true, very true that we got damn fxxxing big problem in the team, and yes, the team is not performing up to the standard, or rather, our standard. but from wat i see here, wat mentioned most is A, B, C not good, lousy, fxxx up, or E, F, G shld be thrown out, then buy X, Y, Z. keep mentioning who who who this one that one everyone shld go, then buy this one that one everyone, then at the end add another sentence "we got no money, blame the bloody glazer". Are we becoming another moanrinho? Are we grinning too much here while not bringing up constructive ideas/suggestions?

It is unrealistic/unwise to do a Inter Milan of few seasons ago, buying this that big super star, then cannot perform so keep in fridge, blame this blame that, then sell cheap cheap buy another one. What for? Since it is not possible to change/throw all those players that u dun like, think not good, fxxx up, a total change of the whole senior team is most probably IMPOSSIBLE, why dun work out the tactic, strategy, game plan to suit the players? Look at what Moyes did? He only got that many players, that many average players + a few above average players, but he work around his plan and he did wonders with Everton.

Are we more talented than Everton? Definitely, if this team can work all the way to 4th place, then there must be a plan that will suit us and bring us to 1st place again, at least for this coming 1, 2 seasons while our financial status is still not very clear.

Say again, who wanna leave, door is there, price is right, you are free. Who wanna stay, contribute, let's not play a bad game because that particular 2 or 3 players are not doing well, it is a team play, the team shld carry the game n help the player, not the other way round.

[usjag_18]

Never watch the match, but one thing for sure. If U guys still think T.Howard is a disaster, then imho, I think R.Carroll is even more like a disaster. Compare to the statistics, Carroll is really equal to zero. Ytd, I dun even feel the Chelsea field their stronger players. When T.Howard was playing, he was facing Arjen Robben, Damien Duff, John Terry, and his opposite number is Petr Cech. Whereas R.Carroll is facing practically almost half of the players who are counted as reserves players. And he conceded 3 goals compared to T.Howard's 2 goals. I think T.Howards is nothing. Afterall, he's facing the real player behind the Blues.

As for the whole team setup, we have an early goal. I may not have watch the game, but seriously, did our players defend well enuff? I meant what Newcastle Utd & Liverpool did & won and why we did it and lost it. We scored an early goal. But allowed the opposition team to score and equalise within 10mins. Does that mean that our defending team let themselves down? Nevertheless, recent years, Man Utd's record Chelsea has never been great. And today's match is totally a mess.

But of cos, I admit that Chelsea did play their best games this season and afterall, they broke our record for the overall points. So I cannot say Man Utd totally lost out the game, as Chelsea did their best to defend their GKs whereas what happen to our defending team did was nothing to compare to them.

[usjag_18]

I just hope that our players will be AWAKE by then. Stop blaming the manager or the formation or whatever things. It's really up to the players who are in the field! They are the ones who need to clear up their minds and stop thinking of stupid things like raising their salaries and bargaining wat they should have and what they shouldn't have. Totally rubbish. Hope they can wake up next season and do it well.

[croc1977]

but the problem is the players playing style doesn't suit the team. like ronaldo....always try to dive for a penalty...even if a real peantly situation i think refree also think twice now cos he does not know is that real anot...
using keano...is not the best way to rebuilt...
we should let him go...

[Kakashi82]

I read from the teamtalk website that Man U is being linked to De La Pena. So what do you all think of this guy? Can he add the badly missed creativity to our midfield?

[AhHuat]

usjaggy.....our defending is atrocious...

apart from tiago spectacular long range shot...
gudjonhnson and joecole goals....are due to lapse of concentration and poor marking

[1920_me]

fergie say 3 defeat is the limit...i think muz lose lesser than that and definitely draw less...our defence this season is good..if only out strike-force have lived up...

anyway,if u all remember when beckham left utd..solksjaer was marked for the right-sided role..he never had a proper chance to do that..maybe next year..we might see solksjaer coming back and delivering crosses for ruud and rooney..

[kahmun7]

sorry chengsun bro, just got so pissed that we ain't even trying and our recent performance is just awful... sigh... I hope nobody have to leave but they got to start performing soon.

[jujube]

I read from the teamtalk website that Man U is being linked to De La Pena. So what do you all think of this guy? Can he add the badly missed creativity to our midfield?


this guy is very creative but dunno he didnt make it

[croc1977]

we do not need him...what we need is a gd def to partner rio and wingers to cross ball and also take corners...

[chengsun]

sorry chengsun bro, just got so pissed that we ain't even trying and our recent performance is just awful... sigh... I hope nobody have to leave but they got to start performing soon.
no need apology guys, all of this are out of love to our club, and like wat I said in one of the previous post, we will see who are still with us next season, hope to see you all around!

[chengsun]

this guy is very creative but dunno he didnt make it
he was once called "little buddha" coz of his bold head. when he and raul just came out, (he from barca, raul from rm), 2 of them were the twin stars in spain, when raul scored, he created, assisted. after that, barca changed coach, he was sold to lazio, sinked to the end till recently he was back to spain again, in another smalled club, n seems to get back confidence n shine again. he was known for his bad stamina also

Man Utd move for Porto star Maniche

Manchester United are chasing Porto midfield ace Maniche.

The Times says Sir Alex Ferguson, the United manager, will face stiff competition for the Portugal playmaker's services from Dynamo Moscow.

Their wealthy owner, Alexei Fedorychev has pumped more than £100 million into Dynamo since taking over last year and has said that he is ready to part with an eight-figure sum to sign Maniche and Costinha, his Porto and Portugal team-mate.

Betis ace Joaquin confirms "negotiations" with Chelsea, Man Utd

Real Betis winger Joaquin has confirmed the interest of Chelsea and Manchester United.

Betis president Mauel Ruiz de Lopera is in talks with both Premiership clubs and Joaquin admits a move to England is likely. He said: "There have been negotiations with Chelsea and Manchester United."

Meanwhile, Joaquin has revealed he would rather be a bullfighter than a Premiership player.

But he says he would have been a fearless toreador - had he not been afraid of his mum!

Joaquin, 23, said: "My mum used to lock me in my room because I'd always be down the bullring trying out moves.

"I fought a couple of times but my mum didn't like it."

United signing goes into hiding


Manchester United were last night trying to locate John Obi Mikel after the £5m-rated Nigerian teenager, whose signing has precipitated a possible legal battle with Chelsea, was reported missing to the police within days of receiving death threats.
Officials at Lyn Oslo, who hold the player's registration until January, informed the police after Mikel "disappeared" during a cup game against Klemetsrud.

The 18-year-old had been excused duty because of the press coverage since it emerged he had been moved to a "safe hotel" and assigned a security guard. It is understood the club's management asked Mikel not to leave the ground until he had been given permission and security arrangements had been put in place.

However, Mikel was seen leaving in the back seat of a car midway through the second half. Subsequent inquiries failed to reach him and the club decided to call the police. A phone call was then made to Old Trafford and, indirectly, Sir Alex Ferguson has been informed.
"The goal was to stop the car in which they were travelling," explained Joachim Andersen, the Lyn spokesman. "We gave the registration number to the police."

An Oslo police spokesman said last night that they did not regard Mikel as a "missing person" but that he was aware of the situation. Mikel is believed to be with a Nigerian agent, John ****tu, and Lyn are satisfied that their player is safe.

However, Lyn had still to locate the midfielder and it is a measure of how seriously they are taking the threats against him that they were willing to involve the police.

United announced Mikel's signing last week, prompting a furious reaction behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea had been convinced he was their player and had announced as much, as had Mikel in an interview in Nigeria. The London club are believed to be strongly considering their legal position.

Glazer to launch takeover bid on Friday?

Protracted takeover saga gathers pace

Nils Pratley
Thursday May 12, 2005
The Guardian

Malcolm Glazer has won backing from his bankers to bid for Manchester United and is aiming to launch his formal takeover proposals tomorrow.
The American's advisers are insistent they will not wait until Wednesday, the deadline imposed by the Takeover Panel for Glazer to "put up or shut up". The response of the United board is already known: the directors will not support a takeover but will say shareholders should decide if they wish to sell at 300p a share. That stance has been judged sufficiently neutral by Glazer's bankers, led by the American investment firm JP Morgan, to allow them to lend to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner.

anyway,if u all remember when beckham left utd..solksjaer was marked for the right-sided role..he never had a proper chance to do that..maybe next year..we might see solksjaer coming back and delivering crosses for ruud and rooney..

Ya Huat bro, I watched the match liao. Ridiculous man.GKs to 4 defenders. What are they doing? Sometimes, I got the feeling that G.Heinze is a better leader @ the behind among the 4 defenders than R.Ferdinand.

Maybe we got the wrong impression, it's Heinze who stronger the defending team and not Ferdinand. Ferdinand is totally ridiculous when against Chelsea. Does he really wanna to go over BLUES, if yes, then go ahead, stop fooling around man. Pi55ed me off to see the way he's playing against Ferdinand.

Huat bro, totally AGREED with U. Defending is ATROCIOUS and we need to slap all the 4 defenders & Carrolll. If Carroll & Ferdinand wanna anything more, then they can try harder instead of letting 3 stupid goals! Especially Carroll. Afterall, luck will leave him one day, and ytd game and the games against AC Milan once again proved that he's just depending his luck for the whole season. Not even concentrating @ the game ytd.

Wilf: Midfielder & Goalkeeper Are Top Targets

Former United boss Wilf McGuinness believes United fans could see the arrival of two new faces in the summer in the shape of a midfielder and a goalkeeper.

Despite a healthy sprinkling of midfielders within the squad, there are none in the mould of Roy Keane, whose ageing legs continue to prevent him from leading the side in every match.

On the goalkeeping front, both Roy Carroll and Tim Howard have endured spells out of the team after making a series of errors, while Carroll is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal and could leave the club in the summer.

"The way things are going at the moment, I'd be looking to see a midfielder or a goalkeeper coming into the squad," McGuinness told ManUtd.com.

"Chelsea's No.2 Carlo Cudicini has been linked with us and he's a keeper I like. He's not the biggest, but he always seems very alert which is what we need.

"It would be nice if we could get one like Petr Cech who was plucked from nowhere, much like Peter Schmeichel was.

"United goalkeepers aren't always tested in some games because the opposition can find it difficult to break through our defence. So we need a reliable keeper who is capable of making saves whenever he's called upon.

"In terms of a midfielder, I'm a big Steven Gerrard fan - I always have been and I always will be!" he continued. "I'd love to see him at this club but don't really expect it to happen.

"Bayern Munich's Michael Ballack is another who has been mentioned - I've been impressed with him whenever I've seen him play.

"Another player that has always caught my eye is Milan's Gennaro Gattuso. He's a real battler and was excellent when he played against us earlier in the season."

Ferguson abandons Mikel mission

Sir Alex Ferguson has abandoned plans to fly to Norway amid further confusion over Jon Obi Mikel's proposed move to Manchester United.
Ferguson was willing to sidestep his usual pre-match media briefings and jet into Oslo in an effort to sort out the dispute that has erupted since United announced Mikel's capture from Lyn Oslo a fortnight ago.

The Red Devils boss has become increasingly concerned at contradictory statements being made on Mikel's behalf about his willingness to move to Old Trafford in preference to Chelsea, who also believe they have signed the promising 18-year-old Nigerian midfielder.

But, after learning Mikel was no longer in Norway, Ferguson has opted not to make the trip and risk embarrassment.

Lyn Oslo officials insist the deal with United is watertight but Mikel failed to turn up for training as planned this morning and is now believed to be en route to London in the company of agents Jerome Anderson and John ****tu.

The situation has so concerned the Oslo club they have contacted the Norwegian police and the Norwegian Football Association.

'We do not know where Jon is,'' Lyn's sporting director Morgan Anderson told Sky Sports.

'He has been taken away by agents who told us they were working for Chelsea, although Chelsea have not confirmed that with us.

'Manchester United know we have written to Chelsea about this whole saga but we know there is nothing wrong on our part. Everything done is rock solid and legal.

'We have always got on well with Chelsea. They made us an offer for Jon, but it was way off the mark and they only wanted to use middle men all the time.

'Jon wasn't happy with all the agents becoming involved and so we managed to cancel all the arrangements before he signed for Manchester United

well according to fellow supporters at redcafe , he's in london having talk with chelsea.

Glazer launches bid for Man Utd
Mark Tran
Thursday May 12, 2005

The US sports tycoon Malcolm Glazer this afternoon launched a formal takeover bid for Manchester United after buying the 28.7% stake of Irish racing tycoons JP McManus and John Magnier.

Despite the opposition of fans, Mr Glazer's run at the world's most popular football club seems unstoppable as he already owns 28% of Manchester United.

Last month, the takeover panel imposed a deadline of May 17 on Mr Glazer to make a formal bid or walk away for at least six months. Shareholders United, the club's supporters' group, is trying to acquire enough shares in the club to block Mr Glazer, the owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OMG The unthinkable has happened!!!! :eek:

[yulee]

Manchester United fans are furious that US tycoon Malcolm Glazer has launched a formal takeover for the club.

Glazer has a 57% share after securing the 28.7% stake of Irish racing tycoons JP MacManus and John Magnier.

Nick Towle, chairman of fans pressure group, Shareholders United, claimed he has ripped up his season ticket.

He said: "I am very sad - I still love the club but I refuse to put a penny into the company. And I believe as many as 20,000 fans may also leave Man Utd."

Supporters are concerned about the level of debt involved in Glazer's bid and fear for the club's future.

A protest has been hurriedly organised to take place outside Old Trafford at 1700 BST on Thursday.

Fans are being urged to take with them their season ticket renewal forms and burn them in a gesture of defiance.

Cos he bought the club with borrowed money so the debts will naturally fall into United's accounts... Since he's going to be the owner, Its his discretion to "allocate" the debts i suppose - and naturally he wont risk his other assets - so into United's account the debt goes... haiz :s27:

Mikel: I want to play for Chelsea
By Matt Hughes, Evening Standard
12 May 2005

The incredible saga of teenage star Jon Obi Mikel's move to Manchester United took a sensational new twist today when it emerged that the Nigerian wanted to join Chelsea.

United announced the 18-year-old's £4 million signing from Lyn Oslo last month but the player no longer wants to move to Old Trafford because of unhappiness at the way his transfer has been handled.

The Nigerian under-17 star expressed surprise when his move to United was announced having trained with Chelsea last December and it appears he is still harbouring hopes of moving to Stamford Bridge.

Mikel has spent the last few days under armed guard in Oslo after receiving mysterious death threats from England and Nigeria but the situation descended into farce last night when the police were sent after him by his own club.

After watching a cup match between Lyn and Klemetstrud, Mikel drove off in an unauthorised car with his agent, John ****tu, but were followed by police and ended up hiding in nearby woods as the agent made calls on two mobile phones.

Mikel said: "I don't want to play for Manchester United anymore. I'm not satisfied with the way Lyn have handled this case and I'm angry that they sent the police after me. I find this very degrading."

John ****tu added: "Jon Obi is angry now. We're angry at Lyn because the boy has just had his 18th birthday and has become a punchbag. It's turned into a circus with everyone following us every step of the way. Jon has taken everything personally and how can he play his best football in these circumstances?"

Chelsea are furious at missing out on a player Jose Mourinho has described as "pure gold" but these latest developments will give them hope of working their way back into the deal. United are growing increasingly concerned and sent their head of youth, Jim Ryan, to Oslo yesterday in an attempt to pacify the player.

Reports in Norway claim that Chelsea's anger stems from the fact that they have paid £190,000 to Norwegian Sports School NTG to look after the schooling of four young Nigerians, including Mikel.






FFS, football agents should be shot, mutilated and hanged in public. whts the matter with him last week he said that he is very happy and proud to join us.anyway if he doesnt want to play for us then **** him:s27:
