I'm not sure whether i should be asking this here, but any of you Manchester United fans know whats the price for the 1998-1999 Manchester United home jersey? Not the champions league jersey but the premier league. Cheers mates.

The sooner the injured Rafael  and suspended Vidic is back the better MU defence is.
IMO Neville and Scholes should be retired out to pasture. Am I out of line here?
Reasons are obvious these former ENGLAND INTERNATIONALS  are past their prime and MU first team squad DESERVES  BETTER. Only exception will be Giggs a player whom I admired tremendously and still rated a 1st. team member.

I believe Scholes should be particularly singled out, especially  for the loss to Fulham for the following reason.

He is a CHEAT and a 'backstabber'
Against Zenit (Euro Supercup) he was caught and redcarded doing 'hand of God' and true to character he was redcarded in the last game. As a Professional (not amateur) player you are conditioned not to handballed deliberately unless you want to cheat. Because of these incidents I believed he is a CHEAT. Regarding 'BACKSTABBING' his MO when he loses the ball to an opponent he will BACKTRACKED and clipped or foul from the BACK deliberately out of SPITE. He gets away a number of times, without being yellow carded, on English soil.
Now our jingoistic sports commentators, referees to a cetain extent. and fans alike just  called his actions CHEEKY.
My analysis of the last game is that Scholes 'sabotaged' and lost the game for MU. Without him (case in point  FA cup 4-0 win against Fulham) MU will have won the last game.  Could his benching at that time  affected him subsequently?

Its OK if  you disagree with me about Scholes.  He should be retired like Gunnar Solkjaeer managing the reserves.
The reason I brought this out is that I believe MU fans deserve better CRITIQUE for their recent loss. If he was a DIABY or EBOUE he would have got a hair dryer treatment.

If you brand Paul Scholes a cheater and a backstabber name me a few football players who doesnt cheat in their entire footballing career and gets away from bad fouls without cards. The fact that he doesnt score doesnt mean he's shit, just look at his passes and the way he swtich the side of the play. Why don't you blame Berbatov, Giggs or Ronaldo since they did not start the FA Cup 4-0 win agaisnt Fulham.

It was an uncharacteristic performance from United with Ryan Giggs guilty of some dreadful passing - ESPN soccernet.

Get your facts right and proven before accusing Paul Scholes a cheat and a backstabber. Without him at least we wont even qualify for the last Champions League final.

Five reasons why the title is Liverpool's and five reasons why Manchester United could blow it

FIVE REASONS WHY TITLE IS LIVERPOOL'S

*
Ugh, I'm kinda sick of reports that Liverpool will win the tittle, cos everytime Liverpool wins in a row or won by a large goal margin everyone says Liverpool will win, similiar to Manchester United during their clean sheet period and last season Arsenal's top form in the starting of the season. Just because some team is winning everytime and won by huge goal margins doesnt mean their gonna win the tittle.

So I guess its kinda stupid speculating and summarizing whos the winner and I'm not emphazising on you ParasitAmol, I'm talking about reports from ESPN or wherever, because anything could happen in football. Touch wood, Torres and Gerrard could break a leg or Ronaldo could die in his Ferrari by speeding again.

isn't it better that way coz high profile usually spells more pressures. they can go high profile but i won't give a damn. experience told us we are better in copin w/ pressures than them. leave those unexpected things alone shall we...  sweat.gif

I apologize, I'll add the "touch wood" sentence before the curse, so It doesnt sound like one.

But experience told me Liverpool won the Champions League against Italian giants AC Milan even they were 3-0 down, now that's preassure and they coped with it. I always respect that moment. Anyhow, let's keep the quintuple dream alive.

ps. The new Manchester United jersey is ugly. The best is still their 1999 and 2006 season home and away.

And I thought its gonna be like this (got this picture from footballshirtculture.com) since Sahara its going to sponsor Manchester United

I cant imagine Keano being manager and giving the hairdryer treatment to Giggs or Scholes, that'll be weird.

Hmm and If I'm not wrong most of you guys missed out Frank Rijkaard, ex-Barca manager. He's not bad in a way, something like Mourinho but he plays attacking football. Barca during his regime was quite similiar to Manchester United today.

Quick counter attacking football with Vida and Rio similiar to Puyol and Marquez. Xavi for Scholes, Ronaldinho for Ronaldo, Messi for Rooney as so fourth.

And in addition he brings in youth players to life cycle the players, Bojan, Yaya Toure, Iniesta, Pique. He doesnt only buy old and experienced players like Mourinho, thats why Sir Bobby Charlton doesnt agree with Mourinho being the next Manchester United manger.

Tell me if I'm so wrong about this cos I havent been doing my research, its just my football spectator experience.

i think we can add in marcelo lippi and omar hitzfeld (bayern's manager) to the list as well..both are establish coach..lippi won the world cup with italy and if i'm not mistaken is a good friend with SAF..as for hitzfeld, his name was mention as a possible candidate to take over from SAF quite some time ago..

You cant choose a manager just because he won the World Cup. A fine example, Luiz Felipe Scolari for Chelsea. Hahaha, I still remember the day Chelsea BODs sacked him. *evil grin*

@eXyzt
If you're talking about attacking football and youth developments how about Frank Rijkaard. Among the lots he's the most suitable imho.

@moomoojojo
I think its better to keep Van Der Sar as first choice cos he's got the experience in everything and he know's how to command the defence. I cant really see Foster commanding Rio or Vida at this point cos of the age gap, note that football is not only a physical game its also psychological.

@sunnyK
I agree, Giggs deserves it. He has achieved so many yet awarded so little. He has done so many that most football players cant do. Loyalty, passion and patience. Unlike Robinho. Read his biography, you'll get a good laugh.
That picture is too obvious to any Manchester United fans, any Manchester United fans who doesnt recognize any of them doesnt deserve to be.

I'm sure he's ambitious. Just hope he'll see the benefits of staying at MU like O'Shea & Fletcher. If he stays, he'll definitely take the no. 1 jersey in a few years time. VDS isn't going to be around much longer and Kuzczak is not good enough to be no. 1 IMO.
*
Hmm, Foster has a bright future in Manchester, dont think he'll leave even he's not first choice now. Van Der Sar is 38 and Foster is only 25, assume Foster is first choice next season he still has 10 years ahead of him, Van Der Sar wont last till 40 imo. If I were him, i'd stay put and wait for my turn. Similiar to Almunia with Arsenal, after that old sod Jens Lehman left he's first choice now.

@alien2003
Even if Gary Nev is at full fitness I dont think he's very usefull at his age now especially since he's out for so long. Everytime I see him play currently he only runs till the middle of the field and doesnt overlap wingers, doesnt have the stamina anymore. I'd prefer Brown playing RB while putting Rafeal on the bench assuming both of them not injured. Gary doesnt fit Manchester tactics anymore, he's not like Evra overlapping Giggs or Brown overlapping Ronaldo. He cant dribble to cut in opposition defence and he cant score any goals. Rather play him as a CB to cover Rio or Vida since there's only Evans as a CB sub.

we have yet to see the true quality of Manucho.so its not fair to say that.just hope that he won't be the next Dong.

Dong was never intended to fight for first team nor even play for Manchester United, he's just a marketing idea to sell more jersey in China. Imagine 1.3 trillion people knew that Dong was in Manchester United, how many of them would buy the jersey.

Omg, no Giggs. Well the late George Best has the sympathy vote I guess.

Imo Giggs did so much through contribution, disipline, caps, achievements and that 1999 FA Cup Semi Final replay. But yea maybe I wasnt around to see Best's magic.

that's what i meant. i hope that manucho will not be used as a marketing strategy for the Angolan market.

Angolan market? haha. Even Malaysia has more population.. maybe they should try signing Hardi Jaafar.

P.Neville as RB? hmm, sad to say but Manchester United havent had any good RB up till now. Maybe we'll have to wait for Rafeal to mature, could be the RB version of Evra. I'd rather put Wes Brown there atm, not bad performance so far and have been scoring a few goals.

Other than that the whole lineup is just perfect since I've just started worshipping during 1996.
