Fair enough.

[yourmumsface17]

It shows what a massive cunt Suarez is if people take the time to boo him during the national anthem.

The media says "jump", Britain says "how high?".

[yourmumsface17]

Take off your support Suarez t shirt and realise people just dont like the guy. I dont think I need to post a list of reasons why either, anyway, whatever, have a good day!

I'm just saying that tons of people read headlines and don't form their own opinions. I'm not saying those opinions would be different if they weren't spoon-fed to them.

It's almost the PC thing to do to hate on him. Doesn't bother me, boo him all you like.

[manutdfan]

Suarez has brought it all on himself!

Yeah you shouldn't boo a national anthem apart from the English one.

[Tutankhamun]

Bebe participated and scored in a reserves pre-season game yesterday. He's scored in every game he's played thus far I think. Looks like he might actually be fighting for a spot in the big team.

As manutdfan said, Suarez has brought this on himself. Numerous incidents throughout his career he has been in the spotlight for negative things, from racial abuse, diving, cheating, biting and persistently yelling at officials.

These kind of things are going to get him booed, it isn't all to do with the media like Liverpool fans always claim, fans can see for themselves when he starts doing stuff like this. Look at Ashley Young from last season, he got booed for his antics, Suarez does this too and more.

A lot of the boos he does receive are simply from fans trying to wind him up because it's likely it will get a reaction from him, after a frustrating first half yesterday he started punching the ground and throwing turf, it's hilarious and it's what the fans want from him. It's just like how players try and wind up certain players to get a reaction out of them and see them get in trouble.

You can blame the media all you want but fans don't need a news article to tell them what this player is like.

Suarez is a wanker

Sir Alex Ferguson speaks out over Manchester United share issue

Sir Alex Ferguson has today released a statement about Manchester United planned share issue.

"Being aware of the media coverage that is currently ongoing I felt, on this occasion, that I should make my position clear to the Manchester United fans.

"In regards to suggestions that I have praised the Glazer Family because I stand to financially benefit from the proposed IPO, there is not a single grain of truth in this allegation. I do not receive any payments, directly or indirectly, from the IPO.

"Ultimately, I run the football side of this club and in order to do this, you need backing from above.

"The Glazer family have let me get on with my job, there is no interference or obstruction, only support.

"My decisions and beliefs are not based around what is best for my personal financial gain. That is an accusation that insults me. If that was the case, I would have left Old Trafford a long time ago.

"I am speaking out because I do not want a situation to develop whereby the media and other parties create a rift, however small, between myself and any Manchester United fan. I've spent 25 years of my life pushing this club forward and not only could I not have done it without those fans, I do it for them."

Fergie just doesn't get it, United fans do not like to read this - "there is no interference or obstruction, only support." Maybe words of support, but certainly not the money. Someone needs to directly ask him:

"Have the Glazers' financial difficulties impacted in the transfers coming in to the squad?" There's pretty tangible evidence they have.

But no one will, because they will get banned. But they should.

[LC77]

Funny how all the talk is now about the IPO, Glazers & Fergie. What happened to the chatter about players coming in?

So far this summer is similar to last. The biggest signing United have talked about, is a spangly new sponsorship deal.

I'm not saying he didn't bring it on himself. I clearly said the opinion would probably be unchanged.

But shit like THIS is unacceptable from the media and doesn't help at all.

[santinomarella]

I don't get why so many people are wanting or expecting Sir Alex to speak negatively about the Glazers, they're his boss, you do that you get sacked. The last thing we need going into a new season is a row between Sir Alex and the Glazers.

[Tutankhamun]

He's getting the support he wants which is money. £50m last season and £25m this season thus far testifies to that.

People think we don't have money just because we won't pay astronomical fees and wages. But that doesn't mean we couldn't, it just means we won't. I happen to agree that the money clubs like Chelsea, City and PSG are throwing around is stupid money and it'll come back to bite them.

Did I click the right link? I saw the guardian saying that Suarez was accused of using racist language.

Rio Ferdinand denies FA charge

"Manchester United’s Rio Ferdinand has today [Thursday 2 August] denied an FA charge of improper conduct in relation to comments posted on Twitter.

"The allegation is that the player acted in a way which was improper and/or brought the game into disrepute by making comments which included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race.

"The player has requested a personal hearing."

manutd.com*

I confess I don't remember what Tweet he's charged for. Nor would I understand it anyway, the slang Rio uses goes way over my understanding.

its a side by side of guardian reporting Terry and Suarez FA charges. The body of the text is EXACTLY the same. The headline for Suarez: charged with racism. For Terry: charged with abusive language.

he RT someone calling ashley cole a choc ice....i must confess, im black and from london and ive NEVER heard that before!! but apparently it means a bounty, some one who is black but is white on the inside.....kinda like a carlton (fresh prince)

i dont even get why he is being charged, he didnt say it, he just said i hear ya fella!

[Tutankhamun]

I would say Kagawa was a really big signing. Some fans seems to think we we're the only one in for him - that wasn't the case. Getting Kagawa was a big accomplishment.

It's hard to argue that the transfer policy of Chelsea and City is healthy long-term. It is easy to see their signings over the years as good value short term but taking a broader perspective that's not the type of deals you'd want your club to make to survive long-term.

I've never heard it before either. And I usually know all the insults :P

Is there a hide button on here? I'd like to block certain trolling cunts. And stop talking about Suaracist, this is the United thread.

Well there used to be a Ignore feature. But as a mod I can't ignore people so I don't know where it is or how to do it! Maybe someone else can tell you.

Inter edge closer to Moura. Apparently a fee has been agreed.
