  1. Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In

    One thing that immediately struck me was the telephone call to the ambulance. He didn't big his dad up to be really important. He had the opportunity to say Sir Alex Ferguson, but didn't make any deal about his title or who he was....just simply referred to him as Alexander Ferguson. At that...
  2. Henry vs Cantona - who was better

    In terms of overall all round physical abilities such as Pace, Acceleration, Stamina... Henry But in terms of technical ability... pretty even But mentally.... Composure, Leadership, Bravery, Vision, Decision making.... Eric Eric was more niche. Its difficult to compare. Both used their...
  3. Ethan Galbraith

    One thing he offers is passion and aggression. He also appears to have eyes on the back of his head. A few times i've noticed he's looking everywhere before he receives a pass and distributes it. A real talent. The skies his limit. I will also bet on him being the next Steven Davis for Northern...
  4. Fantasy Premier League 20/21

    Last week at last minute i took out Salah for Aubameyang, and Calvert Lewin in favour of Wilson. This week Son for Fernandes. I will let you know who i bring out this week, so you can bring them in for guaranteed hattrick points :(
  5. Non-United goals that made you lose your s**t

  7. United goals that made you lose your s***!

    I am a bit of a knob when it comes to celebrating goals. I celebrate like i've won the lottery. It's not deliberate and i don't really gloat but I just can't help the reactions. Was chatting with my mates the other day about United goals that made you go absolutely nuts. We were having a right...
  8. Injuries that were turning points in careers

    Marco Van Basten Jean Pierre Papin are 2 that jump out for me!

  10. What do we still need? Aka The never ending story

    Lots of people getting optimistic on our selling fees. £10mill for Rojo or Jones? We can't shift Rojo on 80k wages with a contract that expires the season after this one coming. Poor injury record. No big clubs are interested. The small clubs can't afford the wage. Our only hope is a move to...
  11. Fantasy Premier League 19/20

    First goal that came to mind.... World Cup 2002 - Ronaldinho vs Seaman
  13. Mad bastards of the game

    Jose Luis Chilavert the goalscoring Paraguayan keeper, used to hit Freekicks and Penalties for them. Was an absolute hothead and wouldn't have thought twice about laying someone flat!

  15. United XI from one nation

    That's a bloody good team that. Looking through the amount of players who are or were on our books that played for NI is incredible. Ollie Norwood Paddy McNair Corrie Evans Craig Cathcart Jordan Thompson Roy Carroll and more recently Ethan Galbraith
