It's true when I think back to all the domination, Trophies and Success we have had over the last 2 decades I stay laughing to myself.

And now imagine, Rooney's on a 1 man campaign to ruin it all, SMH
Just clocked somthing pretty scary but not at all suprising on redcafe,
If you compare the thread started in January in regards the green and gold campaign and the arguements for and against the Glazer regime.
And you compare the thread regarding the Bebe transfer started a week and a half ago.
The number of views and replies in the Bebe thread look as if it will past the green and gold campaign by the end of next month easily. As they are already quite close, Especially if he features for the reserves againsts City's elite squad this week.
It just shows quite dammingly why the Glazers have ultimately won. And the state of the priorities and interests of the general footbal fan.
Just thought i'd share my dismay,
That is all.

if thats the effect a unknown kid for Portugal can have, god knows what would've happened if we,d of signed Ozil.
On Kings app for Preson the other day + Matt James
I don't think I'm getting ahead of myself when I say this lad already gets about the pitch like a premier league player. He's absolutely f*ck*ng brilliant and I don't think today was any kind of fluke, he will run lots of Championship defences ragged like this. His movement is top class, Sonko didn't know where the hell he was for most ofthe game. A joy to watch.Sunderland got the wrong striker, this lad is far more use to us than Welbeck was. Stronger, harder working and just as quick.
Well done son, an incredible debut.
I've signed up to give reports of King and James as I am a Preston fan, and today, the former was sh*t-hot. He left Sonko and Mokoena, International defenders, for dead countless times, and should of had a hat-trick but Ashdown did make some good saves. At another point he rounded Ashdown but Sonko cleared off the line. Looks like he's gonna rip up lots of defences this season.Matty James is also a great player. Today he was quiet though but did his job in-front of the defence well. I will be giving you weekly reports on these two, hopefully more on the way (Obertan was at the game today.)
How Tom Cleverley is spearheading Fergie's plan to bow out with legacy of youthBy Oliver Holt
Published 23:02 17/08/10
Tom Cleverley, a young player many believe is destined to become a part of Sir Alex Ferguson’s last great Manchester United side, is sitting in an office, talking.
There is something about him that tells you he has been at United since he was 11. He is assured, mature, single-minded and happy to make whatever sacrifices he needs to.
He grew up in Bradford but the way he speaks makes him sound like a composite of Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.
His eyes light up twice. Both times it is something to do with training that brings animation to his features. Cleverley is someone in love with the game.
The first time it is the mention of some YouTube footage he has told the rest of the United first team squad about that makes him smile.
The 30-second clip shows the Spain squad training and Valencia’s Juan Mata producing a dazzling piece of skill that involves dragging the ball behind one foot with the other and then nutmegging Real Madrid’s Raul Albiol all in the same movement.
Mata celebrates his feat, laughing, while a couple of the Spain players put their arms around Albiol in mock consolation. United’s players, Cleverley says, have been trying to reproduce the trick.
The second time his face comes alive is when Cleverley, who turned 21 last week, talks about training at Carrington with the United first team squad. In particular, he says, watching Scholes and Giggs doing their job and pursuing their art is breathtaking.
Most players who have trained with Scholes, either for United or England, say that. They mention the way he strikes the ball and the joy of watching his technique.
A few hours later, Scholes lofted a perfect pass to Giggs who drove home a volley to seal United’s 3-0 win over Newcastle at Old Trafford.
“It’s the way nothing fazes them, too,” Cleverley says.
“You can learn so much from those two. They don’t have to say anything to you. You just have to watch them. It’s their temperament and they take that into the pitch. I have been watching Scholes all through pre-season so it didn’t shock me when he put in a performance like he did in the Community Shield.
“He is not the type to sit you down and have a heart-to-heart chat with you but he is a great mentor for me.”
At at time when the country’s focus is turning to youth in the battle to recover from the disappointment of England’s performance in South Africa, a world of possibilities is opening up for Cleverley.
Players like Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs have already been given their chance by Fabio Capello as the England manager tries to re-invent both himself and his team and Cleverley and Everton’s Jack Rodwell cannot be far behind.
Cleverley, who can play anywhere across the midfield, made a big impression when he was on loan at Watford last season and was voted the team’s player of the season.
The previous season he had a spell on loan at Leicester.
“The hostility of places like Millwall and Leeds toughens you up,” Cleverley says. “I went from a boy to a man in the Championship.”
He also starred in United’s pre-season tour of America and scored a superb individual goal against the MLS All-Stars in Houston. Premier League clubs are queuing up to take him on loan but Ferguson has said he wants him to stay at Old Trafford this season because he is ready to fight for a place in the team.
There is something else about Cleverley: he epitomises the agelessness of Ferguson, the way that the United boss can inspire a new generation of players as effectively as he did when he first took the job 24 years ago.
He commands respect, not just because of what he has achieved but with the way he interacts with his players.
Other older managers fall out of love with football and especially footballers. Not Ferguson. His man-management genius, his enthusiasm for the people around him, are undimmed.
“His team talk before the Community Shield was fantastic,” Cleverley says. “He inspires me.”
The progress of Cleverley, whose career is being guided astutely by Simon Kennedy, Brian Lara’s former agent, hints at the idea that a new wave of home-grown talent is ready to form the core of the last side Ferguson commands before he retires.
There are high hopes for Cleverley, Darron Gibson, Danny Drinkwater (on loan at Cardiff), Matt James (on loan at Preston) and Reece Brown, Wes Brown’s younger brother. Jonny Evans has already broken through and Federico Macheda kept Michael Owen out of the squad against Newcastle.
There are echoes of the 1992 FA Youth Cup winning side that contained David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Gary Neville and Giggs.
If Ferguson sticks to his plan not to send Cleverley out on loan, he will get his chance in the Carling Cup, the FA Cup and maybe a few League games.
Cleverley has his own plan. “If I get chances, my aim is to please him enough that he has to play me,” he says.
Ferguson’s reluctance to enter the transfer market has been widely attributed to the fact that the Glazer family have no money to give him.
Maybe there’s another reason. Maybe Ferguson looks at Cleverley, Drinkwater, James, Evans, Macheda and Brown and sees another group of kids who can take the League by storm and send him into retirement a happy man.
Good read
Sounds like a good lad
Hope he makes it

f*ck YEAH
Cleverley is sick. Out of the crop of youngers, he's the one who I hope will make it. Along with Morrison.
The squad for the Reserve game looks very very strong,
Neville
Carrick
Anderson
Gibson
Brown
Smalling
all named
hopefully Bebe will make a appearence for us to all scrutinise also.
And he shiiiiiiiiiiiits onnnnn fabregasssssss
Can't believe those jokers were tryna bring lucas and denilson into his bracket

Bebe is sh*t. hes blatantly a political buy. i find it very interesting that the agent who made this Bebe deal is also the agent who represents c ronaldo and real madrid were the other major club "interested in bebe" their manager (mourinho) is also represented by jorge mendes. Something dodgy is definitely going on.
I cant figure out whether its some kind of dodgy payment for mendes to eat off the c ronaldo deal or whether its some kind of mourinho payment for when he takes over at united.
i dont understand how anyone can buy that united signed a player for 7 million who wouldve been available for nothing 5 weeks earlier. And its a very "fortunate" coincidence that the other club which apparently forced them into acting was real madrid. The only thing that links all these events together is jorge mendes. Who knows though, maybe im being paranoid.
But its very hard to believe that both real madrid and manchester united ignored the player while he was free but then jumped into a war so quickly after he got signed
