Sir Bobby Charlton a facut o declaratie care m-a emotionat. A descris sentimentul de a vedea Manchester United si pe Alex Ferguson astfel:

This club is supported worldwide because of the way he has got his teams to play — they excite people. I remember as a player always waking on a Saturday morning excited at the prospect of playing that afternoon. Alex Ferguson has got me like that again just watching his teams.

Sper sa nu se retraga prea curand...

Update: Maria Andries incurca borcanele, dar corecteaza repede

Un suporter zice pe forumul oficial al lui United:

Why we dont refer to our Awesome Club as ManU

Man Utd is not a term United fans refer to themselves as. The term is only used by other supporters as a complete and utter insult to our club. The "u" is meant to be "you" by the rival fans.

An early example of its usage is this chant by West Brom fans: "Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in his grave, man you are manure- rotting in your grave". The origin of "Man Utd" is a song to insult the dead Duncan Edwards. Liverpool and Leeds fans copied this with their own man you /u versions to insult all of the lads who died at munich.

"Man Utd Man Utd went on a plane Man Utd Man Utd never came back again" and "Man Utd Never Intended Coming Home" (if you combine the first letter of each word you get the word "munich").

I hope this makes it clearer that saying Man Utd is an insult, particularly to the older supporters and to see United fans using it now is shameful. I hope a few might read this, understand and spread the word. So... Please REFRAIN from using this term ever again!!!!!!!!

Acum, cea mai tare faza: MANUTD.COM e site-ul oficial al clubului!!!

Asta se intampla la toate echipele: "Frate, a zis de Haldan, ii rup capu', sa moara mama!" va suna cunoscut? Ne-a prostit libertatea.

The United boss said: "As he gets older I think he will appreciate being here more and more. The longer people stay at this club you tend to not want to leave. Rio Ferdinand is an obvious example of that. But really I’m just pleased we have managed to put all this Real Madrid stuff to bed. They know what they are dealing with now."

Cu riscul de a enerva o prietena...

Cristiano Ronaldo: Sir Alex Ferguson heard my arguments, I heard his and, in fact, it was settled that the best for both parties would be for me to stay. Therefore, I can confirm that, next season, I will play for Manchester United. Before rumours emerge saying that I will play against my will, I want to make this clear - whoever says or writes that is lying. I will play for Manchester with all my heart and soul. I will fight and honour that shirt with the same commitment and dedication as always.

I was responsible for all this controversy. I was the one who publicly expressed my desire to go to Real Madrid. I ended up being, even involuntarily, responsible for the poor relationship between the two clubs. I knew Real Madrid were interested in signing me and that they had allegedly made a very high offer to Manchester United. My desire was, for some time, that Manchester had accepted my transfer to Madrid. Saying otherwise would be to trick people and my own consciousness.

Alex Ferguson: "He is a Manchester United player. He is going to be playing here next season. Believe me, it is all over."

Ca i s-a modificat contractul si s-a adaugat o clauza de reziliere pentru la anu', ca i-a dat sefu' doo palme si i-a aratat ca mai are de stat fro 4 ani, ca s-a razgandit... neimportant. Ce e cu adevarat important e ca

CRISTIANO RONALDO S-A FACUT DE RAS.

A zis el ca pleaca? DA. A plecat? NU.

10 ture de oras ca sa-ti intre mintzile-n cap. Poate pana ajungi tu la Real se elibereaza si tricoul sapte.

Desi risc sa devin un fel de Dan Diaconescu, nu ma pot abtine sa nu postez cele cateva cuvinte spuse deunazi de Alex Ferguson despre Cristiano Ronaldo si transferul mult visat (de unii):

I've spoken to Cristiano and the meeting went well. We both put across our points of view, where we stand and where the player stands. I can say he will be a Manchester United player next season. That's our stance and he won't be sold.

Noi sa fim sanatosi!

ALEX FERGUSON is on a one-man crusade to stop soccer descending into anarchy.

The Manchester United boss believes he is fighting for every club in the Premier League — and throughout the soccer world — by refusing to let Real Madrid take Cristiano Ronaldo.

Fergie will be horrified that FIFA chief Sepp Blatter reckons Ronaldo should be allowed to leave when he chooses and has claimed keeping him at Old Trafford is akin to slavery.

For Fergie, it is not a question of money — however many noughts the Spanish giants throw at United.

Instead, it has become a point of principle — and a scrap he does not intend losing.

The battle-hardened Scot believes that allowing players to cut and run as soon as they want a change would open the floodgates to footballing anarchy.

Only yesterday Frank Lampard, aged 30 and approaching the twilight days of his career, rejected a four-year deal worth £140,000 a week at Chelsea.

Team-mate Didier Drogba has spent all summer insisting he wants out, while Emmanuel Adebayor is adamant he will quit Arsenal and also head for Italy.

Chelsea chief exec Peter Kenyon is hardly flavour of the month at Old Trafford, after leaving them for the West London glamour boys.

But he and Fergie have become the unlikeliest of allies with matching views about holding players to contracts.

Kenyon has even claimed Chelsea will keep Lamps for another season and let him leave on a free in 12 months, rather than bowing to his demands now.

It is the same story as far as Ferguson is concerned over Ronaldo — and no amount of money will change that.

Ferguson is convinced he will not yield and an Old Trafford insider revealed: “It has become a point of principle, not money.

“As far as the club are concerned the size of any offer from Real Madrid is totally irrelevant.

"It isn’t a question of seeing how much United can get for Cristiano, it is more a case of the repercussions if he was sold.

“There is a genuine fear of where would it all stop if a player is allowed to go as soon as he decides he wants away.”

Yet Fergie’s views do not exactly win him unanimous support from across the footballing world.

FIFA chief Blatter believes holding players to their contract is modern-day slavery.

Fergie, on the other hand, is well aware of the knock-on effect. He reckons bowing to player power is merely laying down the red carpet to any disgruntled star demanding a move as soon as the going gets tough.

And if Blatter got his way — with players allowed to leave on a whim — what would happen when the boot is on the other foot?

Would they allow clubs to cancel contracts if they felt a player wasn’t coming up to scratch?

Clearly not — and Ferguson has suddenly become the torch bearer for every club, from top to bottom.

His stance is that Ronaldo is under contract at Old Trafford and if his employers say he is staying put then that is exactly what he will do.

Cynics may point to the fact that Real have twice before raided United for top names — Ruud van Nistelrooy and David Beckham.

The difference then, though, is that they left with Fergie’s blessing. They left as men who, in the Scot’s eyes, had served their purpose of taking United to a new level.

With Ronaldo the story is totally different — as he is at the peak of his powers, rather than already heading down the other side of the hill.

Fergie is not accustomed to coming off second-best. This time, though, victory could see him held up as custodian of all that is good in the game and defender of the faith.

PAUL PARKER has labelled Blatter ‘disgraceful’ for saying Ronaldo should be allowed to walk out on United.

And the former England defender reckons it is time for the FIFA president to stand down and make way for a younger man with a football background.

Blatter reckons Ron should be able to quit United, even though the player has four years left of his contract to run.

Parker said: “What Blatter is saying is players can join a new club every year, whatever their contract situation.

“That is a disgraceful statement for the president of FIFA to make.

“Players already have so much freedom and power. Why should they be allowed to walk out on a five-year deal after just 12 months? It isn’t right.

“His ridiculous idea could ruin the game. How are clubs supposed to budget if their players could walk out at any time?

“I reckon they would have to put up ticket prices to allow for this and that could drive fans away.

“But it isn’t the first time Blatter has come out with some daft statement.

“His comments show he really hasn’t got any idea about football.

“It’s time FIFA followed UEFA’S lead and appointed a visionary from a football background.”

Nici acum, la atatea zile dupa iesirea Portugaliei de la EURO, nu exista certitudini legate de Cristiano Ronaldo. Povestea a devenit plictisitoare, insa deznodamantul e aproape. Ieri, intr-un interviu, Ferguson a fost intrebat ce se intampla cu Ronaldo. Raspunsul sau a fost unul sec, "I'm not interested, I'm not going to talk about that". Daca asta lasa loc de interpretari, urmatoarele fraze sunt destul de clare: "There are some young players who in periods last season did very well and in periods showed their youthfulness by being inconsistent. I think they will have come on a bundle after winning the league and European Cup; that can only help us. Players like Anderson, Nani, Rooney, Ronaldo, they will emerge from that without doubt and become top players for us."

Ce-o fi o fi. Noi sa fim sanatosi.

An established professional who has, in the course of a season, appeared in less than 10 per cent of the official matches in which his club has been involved may terminate his contract prematurely on the grounds of sporting just cause.

Varianta lui United e sa-l tina doar pentru meciurile din Cupele din Anglia

Nu stiu ce se va intampla si nu mai vreau sa incerc sa ghicesc, pentru ca in cazul lui Beckham am gresit. Nu vreau sa sper la nimic, pentru ca Ronaldo e doar un numar de goluri pentru mine, nu l-am avut niciodata la suflet ca pe Rooney. O sa astept. Noi sa fim sanatosi...
