"Silva is capable of playing on either wing or as a traditional number 10, and sometimes as a supporting striker."

Sounds like a very versatile midfielder. I'm all for signing David Silva! drool.gif

The genius work of Plech off the caf..



Rafa vs Sir Alex rap-off


RAFA
I want to talk about fachts, because I think it's important. I don't want to play 'mind games' too early. But I think that they want to begin. It's a question of facht, it's not a question of spin - I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in:

This is fact – Mr. Ferguson’s above the law
He was mean to Mike Dean, he called his mum a whore
So he got a fine, and was banned from the touchline
Then he swears at Martin Atkinson, so now it’s crunchtime
And what happened? Nada – he is not punished
Why? Maybe cos he’s not Spanish?
This is facht – Steve Bennett transformed the season
He sent off Mascherano, for an awful reason
But he totally ignored the handball for Wigan
And that’s the game that Manchester secured the league in.
This is facht - he complains about the fixture list
When in facht it’s in his favour that the list is fixed
They play the 29th at home, it’s a Christmas gift
We play the 28th away, and he thinks it’s rigged!
Maybe next year the FA leave the fixtures blank
So that Mr. Alex Ferguson can pick the matches
But for me, I say I had enough, I need to act
Cos these are not mind games - these are fachts.

These are fachts.
These are fachts.
These are fachts.
These are not mind games... I am talking about fachts.

FERGIE
[Into phone] I spoke to the boy earlier and he said he wanted to come - there’s no doubt about that - so if Levy’s not having it, I say we just kidnap him and peg it up the M6. What? No, I’m in a restaurant. Aye, that Spanish one, El Fiasco. No, it’s shite.
Right, I’ll have to catch ye later... I can't hear you cos of some ranting waiter -
What’s that Rafa, you think I’m gonnae back down?
Feck that - I’m gonna put the smack down.

Just listen to yourself with your random “fachts”
You’re like fecking Quincey crossed with Andrew Sachs
It’s obvious you’re launching all these mad attacks
In a desperate attempt to withstand the axe.
Right, fact – you’re season’s done
Right, fact – we’re thirteen in front
You’re fat – I don’t mean to be blunt
But have you thought about a diet, you greedy cnut?
Your title bid’s looking wee bit stunted
You’ll probably make a bid for Robbie Keane next month
And this might not be a fact, but it’s an even punt
You’ll blow twelve million on Stephen Hunt.
You’re no playing football, you’re playing freefall
Belhadj scored against you, and so did a beachball
So you go on the telly, and shout about facts
You’ve feckin lost it - there’s no doubt about that.

There’s no doubt about that
There’s no doubt about that
There’s no doubt about that
Oh, there’s absolutely no question about that, in my mind.

RAFA
Okay this time you go too far
It’s gone past mind games – this is war
And this is facht – you've spent much more
That’s why you’re doing better, it’s the luck of the draw
My judgement is good, the situation is bad
I don’t have the funds to invest in the squad
It’s easy to mock, but all the critics forget
That I never get a penny from Hicks and Gilette
But we’ll turn the corner, our season starts here
It's a five year plan, starting next year
And in five years time, when my work is done
We see who is the winner, Mr. Ferguson.
This is facht - when I was winning La Liga with Valencia
You already suffered from senile dementia
You're getting old, like Ben Kenobi
But I don’t have a single grey hair in my goatee
I am more sophisticated, tactical and technical
Plus – this is fact – I’ve got bigger genitals
I’m generous and charitable, decent and magnanimous
I’m nicer to the kids – this is facht – and to animals
I rescued a llama - there, that’s another facht
Plus I had your mama, so that’s your fecking motherfacht.

These are fachts
These are fachts
These are fachts
These are not mind games… I am talking about fachts.

FERGIE
So you got no cash? – aw do us a favour
You spunked five million on Lucas Leiva
You’ve spent more than us, far more than the Gooners
On the likes of Sissoko, El Zhar and Nunez
Gonzalez, Dominguez, Fernando Morientes
And all the other hordes of random foreign benders
That’s why you failures and far below us
It’s all them Aurelios and Arbeloas
That’s why you’re waving this long goodbye:
Cos in five long years you’ve made one good buy
Yeah well done, mate, you got the boy Torres in
It don’t make up for Barragan and Josemi and Voronin
And Carragher’s knackered, Aquilani isn’t ready yet
And you’re still the manager, and you’re a f***ing idiot.

RAFA
So you think you can be making a fool of me?
Well you underestimate Liverpool FC
When I walk through the storm I hold my head up high –

FERGIE
Yeah right, but only when it’s raining pie
Right, speaking of which, I’ll have the paella
Hang on, is that a dish, or another rubbish player?
Like Padelli, Paletta, Pellegrino…
Ah feck it, Rafa, just get us a cappuccino.
Off he waddles, a dipper in distress
He gestures to the players, he gibbers to the press
Lambasting me with ‘facts’ like a madman in an attic
Bombastic crap, part depressive part manic,
A fat Hispanic spastic in a flapping great panic
Ah here’s the bill – Rafa, do you take plastic?
Oh, what, I hurt your feelings - do I give a shit?
You really are the whingiest, whiniest git
And no, I’m not leaving you the tiniest tip
'Cos you'll just spend it on shite, and then recite me a list.

There’s no doubt about that
There’s no doubt about that
There’s no doubt about that
Oh, there’s absolutely no question about that, in my mind.

Edwin's super save

QUOTE
Edwin van der Sar's stunning stop at Bolton has earned the Dutchman the Save of the Season award, as voted by ManUtd.com readers.

With Sir Alex's men 1-0 up at the Reebok Stadium, the Reds' no.1 flung himself across goal and extended every inch of his giant frame to tip Fabrice Muamba's shot around the post and preserve United's lead.

Reds goalkeeper coach Eric Steele paid tribute to van der Sar, telling Manutd.com: "Sometimes Edwin’s labelled as a goalkeeper who’s very calm and good with the ball at his feet. But he’s also capable of making world-class saves and the one at Bolton is a prime example of that.

"We were 1-0 up at the time so it was an important stop. He’s shown great timing to get his footwork spot-on and also to get his hand up to the ball. It’s a big, strong hand that’s enabled him to push the ball out for a corner and that’s testament to the work he’s done in the gym this season.

"He showed fantastic reactions, too, as well as good concentration to follow the ball as Bolton moved it across the penalty area. He had to be constantly on the move and focussing on the ball the whole time, which isn’t easy. Then he’s followed that up by displaying fantastic athleticism and agility to make the save."

The stop, which you can watch in the video player above, polled 26.8 per cent of more than 4000 votes to land Edwin this season's award. Ben Foster's close-range stop from Robin van Persie garnered 13.8% to finish second.

Eric's expert view

QUOTE
Edwin van der Sar's spectacular stop from Fabrice Muamba was voted Save of the Season by ManUtd.com readers, but Reds goalkeeper coach Eric Steele has a different opinion.

Steele, who joined United's coaching ranks in August 2008, plumped instead for Ben Foster's save at White Hart Lane from Jermaine Jenas... a stop that polled just 2.2 per cent of the public vote. It just goes to show how vastly opinions can differ in football.

Eric, whose personal list has van der Sar's save in second place, told ManUtd.com he picked Foster's stop because of "the amount of work that went into making the save".

"The shot’s been curled around a defender, which means Ben’s seen it late. He’s had to take an extra step before launching himself and not only does he get a hand to the ball, he gets a strong hand to ensure he tips it around the post.

"What also made this save so special was its context: it was just after half-time when we were leading 2-1. A goal for Tottenham would have let them right back into the game."

Steele's third pick was another save that barely registered in the public vote: Tomasz Kuszczak's flying stop from Jamie O'Hara at Fratton Park.

"Tomasz did himself proud when he came in for that 11-game spell," Eric said. "He came in while the team was struggling with injuries and this match was a potentially tricky fixture. In the first 20 minutes we could have lost the game were it not for Tomasz.

"This save, from Jamie O’Hara, was out of this world and gave the side a lot of confidence. The ball was bouncing so Tomasz has to readjust himself and get in the “set” position. And if you watch the replays you’ll notice the ball actually looks like it’s going to go over the bar. But its flight changes in mid-air and Tomasz reacts to that superbly.

"He showed great timing to get up there at the right moment and get a finger-tip to the ball. That’s fantastic athleticism."

Steele's picks

Here's how United goalkeeper coach Eric Steele voted in the Save of the Season award...

1) Foster v Spurs
2) van der Sar v Bolton
3) Kuszczak v Portsmouth
