Any time Keane didn’t wear 16 in those seasons was because the club was playing in competitions that didn’t have squad numbers, and the starting XI had to be 1-11. He couldn’t wear 16 and start the game. Vidic wore 4 in the 07/08 season against City when the starting XI wore 1-11 due to special...

Others have already posted about it, but this is the best hat-trick I’ve ever seen, from my favourite non-United PL player. Lovely stuff from a lovely man.

Shades of the opening day against Fulham in 2006/07 today, and not just because of the score line. Something to build on. Excellent performance, excellent to watch.

What was just wrong? That those players wore those numbers at the points in their careers at United that I specifically mentioned in my post? Yes, van der Sar got #1 and Cole got #9, but after the periods of time that I mentioned in my post. They didn’t get them immediately. Nothing incorrect...

If it provides any emotional support to those who are freaking out, Real Madrid don't list him anymore on their official website: Plantilla de Jugadores del Real Madrid | Real Madrid CF Madrid have however forced Gareth Bale to take up the #18 shirt, instead of stripping Asensio of #11 to...

Manchester United, for instance when Scholes came out of retirement.

#18 for Lukaku?! I can't believe Chelsea didn't strip Abraham of his #9 shirt and give it to him. Joke of a football club. Am I doing it right?

Van der Sar - #19 in his first season Cole - #17 for his first season and a half Keane - #16 for his entire career at United Scholes - #24, #22, #18, #22 during his career at United Vidic - #15 for his entire career at United Yorke - #19 for his entire career at United Van Persie - #20 for his...

Probably something akin to the Sancho transfer.

Dwight Yorke missed the first game of the 98/99 season because Doug Ellis dug his heels in. Berbatov's transfer took until transfer deadline day in 2008 because Daniel Levy dug his heels in. Van Persie was on the bench for the first game of the 12/13 season because Wenger dug his heels in and...

The intro from Sky's Super Sunday coverage in the 90s was terrific. Not sure about the closeup of that guy's crotch after 10 seconds though.

I don't know if that video has been edited to not include any moments where he gave the ball away etc., but he looked very assured in it. Kept it nice and simple. Yes, there were maybe a few too many backwards passes, but it was a performance to perhaps build up some confidence so that in future...

He just doesn't give a s**t. I love that about Roy Keane. Pity the way it ended for him at United.

Something to do with the official start of his holidays being delayed due to the transfer needing completed before it started.
