i think Avram Grant is cursed, will always lose out on trophies at the very end, and by quite a small margin :S

this is good for us because we get a chance to win a cup which is the community shield

i tot even if portsmouth win, we will play against chelsea in community shield 

yeah. But the final's script is already written, kudos to Pompey for making the scoreline looks flattering. teams like Wigan and Stoke should be ashamed, and learn something from Pompey.

If Pompey win (FA Cup winner), they will play Chelsea (LEague winner) in Community shield.

Nope.. Community Shield will be played between winner of EPL and FA Cup.. If the winner of both competition is same, 2nd place team will take the spot of FA Cup. 

world with out BPL begin

Dah dah, enough talks about the Blues, lets get this thread back to RED!

Here's a video from Nike. What if Rooney did a wrong move and his career went downhill?

but theres WC    We support England, same with support MU lar.... Got Rooney, Carrick, Ferdinand(captain weii), Brown(is he in the team?)

Manchester United's long-serving manager Sir Alex Ferguson insists he would never retire from the club if the team were struggling.

In May 2008 the Scottish legend was quoted as saying he would not be managing beyond three years leading to recent questions that he might call it a day at the end of next season.

However, the 68-year-old rubbished reports in April that he would be departing in the summer of 2011 and now it remains anyone's guess when he will eventually step down.

One thing Ferguson has clarified is that he would not emulate Ron Atkinson's example in 1986 when he inherited a team struggling on the pitch and without silverware.

Ferguson insists he would only relinquish his post when The Red Devils are in a 'good, healthy' position.

"If we hit a bad spell, it would not be the right time to go," explained Ferguson.

"I would not want to put the new manager into a situation where he was taking over a bad team. I want to leave United in a good, healthy position."

U-turn

Ferguson tried to retire once in 2002 only to perform a quick U-turn following the team's dramatic loss of form and well-timed intervention from his wife Cathy.

"In 2002, I made the decision on a whim," he recalled. "The age 60 sounded good, I'd won the European Cup and a lot of people were saying, 'You'll never do that again.'

"There are a lot of silly things that go through your mind - one line was that Manchester United didn't want another Matt Busby situation and all that nonsense, but after I made the decision the performance of the team went downhill and it was a nightmare.

"On New Year's Eve, we went out for dinner and when we came back I fell asleep on the couch. My wife, Cathy, came in with the three boys behind her, she kicked my foot and said, 'You are not retiring'!"

Neven Subotic's representative has dismissed reports claiming his client is in talks with Manchester United.

The Serbian defender is hot property at present, with numerous clubs believed to be tracking his availability.

He only penned a new contract with current employers Borussia Dortmund last summer but has attracted attention following an impressive 2009/10 campaign.

No official approach for his services has been made as yet, but it is expected to be only a matter of time.

Premier League giants United were believed to be among those keen to land the 21-year-old, but Subotic's manager insists that is not the case.

"We are still waiting for offers," Steven Kelly told Sport.

Rumour

"It is true many clubs are interested in Neven but for now he is only thinking about the World Cup.

"He is calm and ready to represent his country. Talk about transfers does not bother him.

"Manchester United? We have held no talks, that is just a rumour without any substance.

"I am good friends with (Sir Alex) Ferguson but that wouldn't mean anything if talks do start.

"Will they? Maybe. Steven is a Dortmund player but there is a possibility he could leave the club this summer."

Manchester United and Arsenal are ­battling to sign Everton central defender Phil Jagielka.

Jagielka, 28, is ­regarded by Arsene Wenger as the perfect partner for Thomas Vermaelen and the man to bring ­experience to the Gunners’ young squad.

But United are also keen on Jagielka. ­Manager Sir Alex ­Ferguson wants to bolster his own outfit as he plans to regain the Premier League title.

Jagielka, who can also play at full-back and in midfield, would give United added strength for their next Champions League assault.

He’s been ­regarded as one of the England’s most ­improved defenders and was a ­genuine candidate for the Fabio Capello’s World Cup squad that was ­announced last week.

But he missed most of the season due to a serious knee injury that forced him out of last year’s FA Cup ­Final. He returned late in the campaign but was then overlooked by Capello.

But he is still held in high regard by Wenger and ­Ferguson and the bidding will start at around £15m.

Everton manager David Moyes is determined to hold on to the player.

The poorest Double winners ever. Look how things were when we won it, or when Le Arse did it in what 97/98 it was??
