1. Originally posted by clover68i find the FA cup the most amazing competition all over the world


    It's massive for some clubs. Some teams can make close to a season's worth of revenue by being drawn at home to a team like United in the 3rd/4th round. Crawley Town played United at Old Trafford and it earnt them £1m. Havant & Waterlooville played Liverpool at Anfield in the 4th round in 2008, that cup run earnt them £600,000 (70% of previous season revenue). For non-league clubs and cash strapped teams, it's a huge incentive to do well.

    his agent would him to go (for his own gain i suppose) .. Thiago would like to go .. PSG would like him .. but the offer is considered far too low .. Ranieri considers him "necessary" .. and i think he will stay here until we find a proper substitute


    Please stop selling players !!!
    Come on !! T
    Thiago is good player !!
  3. Some interesting fixtures in the FA Cup this weekend:

    Liverpool vs. United
    Liverpool vs. United fans
    Liverpool Fans vs. Patrice Evra
    Luis Suarez vs. United Fans
    QPR vs. Chelsea
    QPR Fans vs. John Terry
    Anton Ferdinand vs. Chelsea Fans
    Anton Ferdinand vs. John Terry



    No doubt Liverpool will warm up in their pro-racism Suarez shirts. No doubt Suarez will be there to entertain.
  4. Police are investigating after a "malicious communication" - reportedly containing a bullet - was sent to Queens Park Rangers' training ground.

    Sick.
  5. Jose Mourinho expresses his desire to come back to the Premier League, despite Real Madrid being 7 points clear of Barcelona in La Liga. Real Madrid have been keen to express their own desire for Arsene Wenger, straight swap? Mourinho did previously say that he'd only return if the position at Manchester United was available and Ferguson has just passed 25 years in charge (said himself that they can only expect a maximum of three more years of him). So, interesting times. If Ferguson did retire this summer, Mourinho would be a great replacement, so long as he can serve for a long period of time (10 years...). United have always been successful when consistency is there. Matt Busby (24 years), Alex Ferguson (25 years)...

    I'd be disappointed to see Mourinho join Arsenal because that would potentially tie him up for when Ferguson does retire.

  9. Ronnie, I have the UK broadcast of the 1998-99 Champions League quarter final game between United and Inter (both home and away) if you're interested? I know you got knocked out (Drew 1-1 at San Siro) but I guess it'd be cool to see some classic players running around. I can upload it to MediaFire if you're interested?

    I only need to get three more game from that season to have the complete set of United Champions League games from that season
  10. yes thank you it would be nice .. so i can recall a couple of complaints about the referee in the first match at Old Trafford
