Carlos Tevez continues to spout venom
It seems some people find it hard to move on. We all acknowledge that sometimes, in a relationship, both parties might have been at fault and, like adults, we say what we have to say, and move on.
The relationship between clubs and players, players and managers and players and fans is not that different in essence. [Of course, if a player spites his fans, then the gloves are usually off, and we see even mild-mannered, cultured adults turn juvenile -- but I digress.]
Carlos Tevez, falls in the second category. And, by recent evidence, has shown little signs of growing up.
According to today’s report in the MirrorTevez accuses Fergie of lying to him about his squad status after signing Berbatov.
“Ferguson still believes I will be at United next season. He thinks I will return. But I know what I want and I know that Ferguson did not respect me as a player. Before Berbatov arrived in Manchester, Ferguson told me, ‘You will still be the starting striker, so be cool’. But he lied to me! That is why I know I will not return to United.
For one, football has become a squad game. Much of United’s success over the course of the past three years has been built around having good squad depth and players understanding that rotation is a part of life at United. Rotating players kept us in the hunt for a good part of the season. And for a manager, the toughest job is to ensure a reasonable mix of players for the right game. Tevez’s appearances over the course of the season is proof that he has got more playing time than some others in the side. He was mis-treated by the club management, of that there is little doubt. The United management weren’t forthright enough to work out his contract details, and we all know that. But today he still feels he has to whine some more to the press:
“What I want to do next season is score against United. I promise I will not celebrate in front of the United fans but I will shout in Ferguson’s face. You can be sure of that – and it will be one of the most beautiful things I have done in football.”
Well, Charlie. We wish you good luck on that. And you don’t have to bother trying to show respect to us fans. We aren’t really on your side anymore. And, just so you don’t wear a bewildered look when you visit OT, expect some booing from the stands.

Update: Also, in case you haven’t heard, Wayne Rooney had a minor accident when he bumped his head. Doctors thought he may have had a concussion. But it was reported to be nothing serious. Today Rooney updated his twitter status, and like we jobless folks track stuff like this, here’s what he says on his head and Owen:
Thanks for all the messages my heads fine it wont stop me starting preseason il be there on Monday looking forward to meeting up with Michael Gosh that was a shock but hes a proven goal scorer but maybe just not been at the right club thats no offence to Newcastle. The Gaffer knows what hes doing always has I think this could be a Great season again for Utd Cant wait , Hols nearly finished! Bye 4 now.
So with those golden words from the Roon, we can sleep today in peace.

Craig my keyboard needs sorting. rldnccc did you boo fergie when tevez was taking off. does anyone else agree that it is hard to watch the 07/08 championship winning season. two players in ronaldo and tevez who thought there was bigger fish to fry than stay at a championship winning team. they have tainted the clubs success but atleast ronaldo left with no bitter fealings towards fergie or united, even thouugh ronaldos antics have been a lot to be desired.
also what really pisses me off is how the media have painted a picture of ronaldo has this two faced nasty winker who wrecked englands worldd p han, whois a spoiled playboy pampered asshole of a footballer who is seen as a guy who goes from girl to girl cant settle down with a relationship and who is so selfish, yet tevez can leave with the media praising him as almost a guy who was seen has great as ronaldo and rooney for his attitude who is unselfish a great guy who is a married man. despite the fact that he has put a dark scare on a famly club in west ham, wasted our time in summer 2007 getting him when there were far better strikers out there. and now he has treated fergie and man utd at times is nothing sort of disgraceful. he is a typical person who uses the PR machine to get fans the media and people on his side, when he is even more selfish than a ronaldo even though ronnie left and appriciate what the boss and united done for ronaldo. the media need a long look at themselves on really good guys like ronaldo yea he is in the limelight acted like an idiot but he was never bitter, and the real assholes in tevez and heinze.

Sorry to come back to this point but two threads back I mentioned how if we really wanted Benzema, we would have been more expeditive and decisive in our transfer dealings. I mentioned how Aaron Ramsey was thought to be a done deal for us. But Wenger came in in his private jet, wooed his parents, treated them to dinner, and explained how he would play more at arsenal than at United.
But then I read this on f365:
“…Benzema, who is now relishing the prospect of making his debut for the Spanish giants, says the visit of Florentino Perez to his house played a major role in his decision to join.
“Real are a kid’s dream. Florentino Perez came to my house at Bron. That was important,” he continued. “He can speak French and I understood he absolutely wanted me. I could only left for Real. It was my dream, that’s all.”
Now we know all about Real being his dream move but after the deal was done its very easy to say that he could only leave for real. And remember how Ferguson hijacked Roy Keane and Dimi Berbatov singings by personally meeting them? Once again another case of laziness in transfer dealings.
Oh, and by the way I still think Benzema is a prick.

@Dan: I do not think we need lahm as evra is quite good at LB but evra can be weak aganist pace such as aaron lennon (for example)and is not injury prone. O’shea can take his position if he is injured.For me brown will be the man at RB since rafael has to mature and has to improve his defensive skills.I also think that SAF will go for attacking midfield rather than a box to box or defensive one.

Dan Im pretty sure Fergie considers Fletcher ahead of Anderson in the pecking order. I also think that Brown will win back the right back slot with ease from Rafael. Definitely we need a good central midfielder to play alongside Carrick. Defence isn’t really a priority-I think Fabio will give Evra a bit of competition and buck his ideas up. If anything we need a goalkeeper lined up to replace EVDS because Foster is too injury prone.

Bloody hell, I just watched Michael Owen giving his interview to Sky Sports News, and he said that he is accused of being injury prone, but the last two years for Newcastle he played 33 games last season and 32 games the season before, and there are only 38 PL games in a season. Well that has surprised me to be honest! The way the Geordies are whining and cursing, I thought he had played like not more than 10 games a season
. Live and learn Craig man, live and learn 
.
I truly hope he does keep fit and hit form to us, because he said that the last couple of months have made him feel like an axe murderer, the way people have been spitting venom at him. He believes he can hit form for United, and the other international United players will help and inspire him. He is desperate to be all he can for Fergie and the club, and of course he aspires to get back for England and the world cup. He was so humble, that he makes me hope that it all comes good for him – I must be getting soft eh?

Sorry Dan I thought you were trying to predict Fergies line-up next season. Ill read more carefully in future.
Given the gay tone Red Rants has been taking the last few posts, Im wondering if that warm feeling you feel when you think about Owen has anything to do with his boyish good looks? One thing about Owen he does have a huge female fan base for reasons I will never understand. One of my female friends has already switched allegiance to Manchester United!
I don’t think Nani has a good physique-too skinny. Probably it is going to be one of Valencia, Macheda or Anderson.

@vanderberg: Evra is a skinned sausage who is frakken useless. Christ, we would all be over the moon if we had Lahm, which we don’t and probably never will have. But we need something better than Evra. Fortunately we have it already. I think Fabio will be that player given a year or two more to mature. Until then, we have to put up with the useless one and the more than capable O’Shea as his backup, although if you ask me, he should start over him.

Lil’ Mickey smiles and burning desire in the eyes have got be contagious. I fully understand the doubters but we have to admit this attitude can only be good to the squad. As proven in the infamous Champions League final, nothing can beat a unified team, having the same drive toward one goal: winning.
Think of it like this: You’ve been in United so long, you’ve won so many trophies…you got it all the quids, WAG and prestige. After a time, you forget how luckey you are playing for this club not all of them, but it’s easy to lose focus.) Then this lil’ guy who had it all think of his move as a blessing from the Heavens.
He’s excited, he can’t wait to play about football again. How to beat this defender, what set-play will be used. The fun is back. Old fashion football. If Owen scores and Rooney runs to congratulates him on the pitch, he won’t turn his back on him, wanting to have the adulation of the crowd. They say a rotten apple tend to rot the basket. Well, a shinny apple tend to glare on others.
The guy’s got a point to prove to the world. He’s a marvellous project. Maye he will fail but if he proves his doubters wrong, it could well be one of the greatest comeback in recent history.

Can we ignore wee tevez from now on?
I am starting to warm to the own signing. At first I was appalled because it smacked of desperation, but the more I think about it the better I feel. If he flops then who cares we didn’t pay shit for him and we don’t pay him shit. But because of the way the contract is written we only have to pay him for succeeding. So either way we can’t lose. I have a sinking suspicion fergie is gonna end up looking like a genius for this move.

@Dan: I said it on the previous thread, as much as I was not impressed with the timing of this deal, I am not opposed to the deal either and in fact, I have been a closet fan of Owen’s for a long time as I am of Gerrard’s. Oh I hate when they played for the Dippers and did well for them, but lets just say, I respect their abilities as players. I could never say that about Drogba or John Terry or even Vieira or that ass wipe Henry. Owen to me was a great player and I hope he regains a lot of his previous form. He could have a late career Renaissance the way Teddy Sheringham had with us when he was over 30.
Try as I should, I could never dislike Michael Owen. And I used to love the Rooney/ Owen partnership for England. I am looking forward to him becoming a super sub for us and reinventing himself.
