Red Rants

This is outrageous. I am thinking of some harsh words for the Bindippers but I am trying to hold it off for the moment, because, while what they are now in the process of doing maybe deplorable, I want to see this in a more objective manner. Yes, there will be the slight bias, but this is a Man United blog. What the hell do you expect?!

Anyway, read on.

If you believe the News of the World that is. Although I have a strange feeling about this. I mean, only NOTW seem to be carrying his quotes while any other blog and forum seem to have copy-pasted the entire article.

Anyway, here is what he had to say.

The crowds came to watch Rooney, Ronaldo and - to some extent, Park - in action and got exactly that. It was a game that was definitely - what the commerce department would term - a commercial success, as fans turned up in hordes. Thankfully I got to watch the game, after all. In fact, it was good that I didn’t miss the first half.

Here are my notes on the game.

Rumours abound of the supposed away kit in forums and websites all round. I guess most of you might have seen that circulating around already.

Nonetheless we decided to put it up on the site anyway. I am not sure if it is the real away kit, but I secretly wished for a black kit this year and would love it if we do get one.

The picture is kinda hazy, but if it is in fact the real deal, then really like it.

Anyway, here’s the kit…

All quotes today will be from the boss.

If this can be some sweetener over the seemingly grim reality of Heinze wanting to leave then here it is. SAF has clearly stated that Gabriel Heinze will not move to Liverpool.

“I can assure you, Liverpool will not be getting Gabriel Heinze,” Ferguson said.
“We can put that to bed right now and we have done so. We have had a couple offers for him and we have turned them down.”

So there are clubs after him as suspected, but wait, there may yet be more good news.

So now, quite unsurprisingly, that transfer ‘negotiations’ between the 5778 parties that own Carlos Tevez have come to a dead end, FIFA will be asked to take over and use their profound wisdom to come to a solution.

Although, if they do make a ruling in any party’s favour, there are, of course, the remaining 5777 parties to contend with, who will appeal to the rather fancifully named Court of Arbitration for Sport whose decision is final in these matters, or so they say.

Morning all. I couldn’t see parts of the game yesterday, thanks to some poor link quality but I did get to watch enough to have some thoughts on the game yesterday.

So I wouldn’t make this a pure match report, per se, but I will give you a bulleted run down of my thoughts on the game, team performances and selected individual performances.

The result: Urawa Reds 2-2 Man United

Manchester United have just launched their Japanese website (and the Chinese and Korean versions).

Now they are reports that they plan to launch a Hindi web-site next year. Followed by a Portuguese one the year after that. The Urdu website will be launched the year after that.

The Heinze thing stopped me from writing this bit yesterday. But here it is.

Kieran Richardson has finally completed his move to Sunderland ending weeks of speculation. He’s one player, lot of us fans would be happy to see leave the club. Clearly inconsistent when given the chance he was always going to be booted out at some point.

While, Fletcher and O’Shea stepped up their game when given the chance, KR was left with a lot to be desired ever since his promising start to his career, and a successful loan spell at West Brom. It has been downhill ever since.

Sir Alex has confirmed that Gabriel Heinze will leave OT.

Well, what else do you want me to say? It’s a hard thing to digest but since SAF has himself confirmed it, he is moving. So what now? Mikael Silvestre would stay for another season, surely.

Would any good come of this transfer? Not if he goes to Liverpool. Just pray he goes to Madrid.

The money might be handy. But it comes and leaves us with a sick taste in the mouth.
