Still Following the Trawler

As if his pathetic, childish display in front of the world - and, of course, his former employers that HE refused to sign for - was not embarrassing enough, the so-ridiculously-ugly-it-hurts-my-eyes-to-look-at-him-for-extended-periods twat decided it would be an even better idea to chat some delirious, wacko bull-shit to some of his hombre's on Argentinian ESPN; thus magnificently and oh so pointlessly vilifying himself further...but of course he is so 100% over his former club. So it all kicked off over something his former captain said, did it? So what exactly did Neville say to make him completely lose it? "The manager over the years has made many decisions with regard to players coming and going – and he has almost always been proved correct. "Over a period of 20 years he may have got one or two wrong, and I think he has admitted that himself, but he knows exactly what he’s doing and he understands when a player’s time is up. I can’t disa...

At full-time, this one hurt. It’s easy to be defiant about it now; claiming we were robbed with the penalty that should have only been a free-kick, and that we generally out-played them from start to finish. But after the final whistle was blown, and even more so, on the 65th minute when that pathetic loser who just can’t forget about his old club scored and acted in a way that isn’t even worth mentioning; I felt truly sick. As for the display? We showed more guts, determination and attacking prowess in the last 10 minutes than we have done throughout the entire season; with Rooney’s high shot towards the end, struck brilliantly from the outside of his boot and ending a truly beautiful counter-attacking move reminiscent, dare I say even better, than Ronaldo’s 3rd  at the Emirates last April. This over exaggerated proclamation about our powerful, dominant finish to the game is not so much a blisteringly attack on United’s performances this season, but more admiration towards our res...

After all the 'what-a-dick-Ronaldo-is-for-leaving' hype surrounding this summer, it appears that it's United's favourite South American son - with that utterly die-hard attitude that won us all over - who has turned out to be the absolute twat; making the petulant, stroppy lady-boy's departure seem rather genuine and gracious in comparison. The reasons as to why a player would leave your club - especially a club at the top - are always concerning, regardless of how much you loved or loathed the player. It is always something fan’s and, undoubtedly, the world's media question, as why would anyone want to leave a club like United? Well, for Ronaldo, his dream was always Madrid. As a boy, and a complete mummy’s boy at that, he (and his mum) wanted Madrid almost as much as Keegan would ‘lov it’ if he beat us; however, unlike Kev, he eventually got his request. His open desire to leave and the constant flirting with Madrid between the summers of '08 and '09 ...

So Benzema's Spain bound trip no longer takes no.1 priority for me and bloggers alike. I was all lined to wax-bloggical (oh thats right, made-up word time!) about my shock and complete confusion as to how/why/when those thieving, cock-blocking sons of bitches managed to jack our move for Benzema; raising such logical concerns as: How Madrid’s OTT spending is immature and stupidly immoral (I‘m definitely NOT jealous that they are compiling probably the greatest team in history...this isn't fucking CM '09!!), How there was barely ever a Benzema/Real link until we started hottening up our pursuit - something that arose pretty much the exact moment the (then) 19-year-old slotted Rio and Vidic inside his pocket as he turned and embarrassed the fuck out of the 2 best defenders in the world back in April ‘08, And finally, my most worrying issue regarding Madrid’s ‘hyper-kid-in-sweetshop-whose-suddenly-been-given-way-too-much-pocketmoney-and-naturally-shows-off-by-getting-all-the-b...

After the  disappointing  revelation that Carlos Tevez rejected a new 5-year contract, I now challenge any United fan - especially those of an overly confident nature - to say: a) We're better off without Ronaldo and, now, Tevez; b) We'll still comfortably be at the top of the league come next season; c) With the £80 million we'll get from Ron we'll buy at least one world class player to replace him; d) All of the above. We're obviously not in an irreversible, crucial situation (yet), but this is not good news. We appear to be struggling to replace Ronaldo, as either no one is willing to sell or Madrid are clearly not letting United have a sniff by getting there first, so the last thing we needed was for a second key player to leave us in as many weeks. In my previous blog I mentioned the possible signing of Benzema, especially if Tevez were to leave, however the problem is Lyon's hesitation to sell him before the 2010 World Cup (presumably because they feel the...

So Real have stepped up their chase for Ribery? If this is the case, and we are left without a chance of replacing Ron with this ludicrously gifted player (especially as Monsieur Zidane is sticking his nose in as Perez's 'right hand man' - whatever that means - and convincing his compatriot that the Bernabeu is the place to be), then who will we get? Opinions much appreciated please as, I don't know about you, but it's starting to look a bit scary... 1. Valencia (£15-17 million). Age: 23 ; Position: winger ; Club: Wigan . Someone we've been heavily linked with and, unlike Munich with Ribery, the interest we have shown has been matched by Wigan's intent to cash-in. Talent and pace are undeniable, however his goal-scoring ability (with only 6 in 48 games) completely unrivals Ronaldo's. A mate of mine interestingly told me though, that while Ronaldo made about 8-10 successful tackles over the Premiership season, Antonio made over 100 challenges; showing his...
