Richards is a center back though, and he wouldn't walk past Vidic or Ferdinand.

Yeah but he plays for England at right back and he is class in that position and he has played full back for City before.

do you think that Rio Ferdinand should be the next Captain for England?

In a way yes. I watched him when he was 17/18 and was a leader then and would make a great captain, but then you got Gezza who is a great leader too. I say make someone like Rio or Terry as captain and have Gerrard leading the pack too. England need like 2 captains.

**Artanoma** · 05-06-2008

That Nani incident was absolute bo***cks. And Fergie will fine him two weeks wages, which I'm guessing would be 80 to 90K. He infuriates me just like Ronnie did when he first came. Patchy as hell when it comes to form, capable of the odd moment of brilliance, and then spends the next 3 games running down blind alleys, falling over his own feet and then complaining like a complete t*t. Hopefully Fergie will sort him out in due course.

As for Rio for Captain, I'd sign that petition. He has been absolute class this season. Best season I have ever seen him play in, and would have been my vote for Club captain before the Neviller.

For England, it's hard to look beyond Rio and Gerrard for that position. I do not rate John Terry as captain, not because he's from Chelski, but because he acts like a thug to referees at times and just seems to have no class about him whenever things aren't going his way.

**Fernando9** · 05-06-2008

he already asked for be the Captain in every match, and one more thing does anyone want to see D.Beckham playing his last match in Old Traford

**Phaded** · 05-06-2008

I am a United fan so im inclined to say Ferdinand but Terry is also good.

**Fernando9** · 05-06-2008

I'll say Ferdinand cuz I think he can be a better leader and he played 66 match with England and Terry has played 43 match with England.

I can't believe people want Ferdinand as captain, hes a drink driving, drug test avoiding **** basically and if he does get made full time England captain then my immpressions on Capello will decrease greatly.

Well i'd assume "Stevie G" would be your choice of captain, what would make him better? he's hardly whiter than white like the media make him out to be.

No he wouldn't actually I would have either Terry or Barry as captain and all I can say is that Gerrard is not a lying drug user, a disgrace to the game and young immpresionable football players.

Their is talk going around that Capello is keeping good tabs on Barry and I think he will be the next captain.

is the C.Ronaldo the icon of United in the current time?

Bosingwa agent denies United deal
Jose Bosingwa's agent has dismissed rumours the Porto right-back has agreed terms with Manchester United. The 25-year-old Portugal international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in the English press, but Rui Neno insists nothing has been agreed.
"There is not any sort of agreement with Manchester United," he told PA Sport. Neno claims no club has yet matched Porto's valuation of the player but reckons Bosingwa could be interested in a move.
"If any club bid the 30 million euros set by the club, I believe there might be agreement," he said.

Of course he is they would be lower in the league now if he didn't play for them

**Fernando9** · 05-07-2008

Micah Richards would walk into United ahead of Wes Brown.

Shows how much you know about where I live doesn't it. United have more fans in Manchester than city and far more globally. All that means is that a higher percentage of their fanbase is local than ours, not that they have more fans than us in Manchester. If they've got so many hundreds of thousands of local fans why can they only sell out their ground when we play them?

Erm, like Torres has done? How many did Torres score against the big four this year?

Ronaldo is the 3rd on the world and most of united fans were crying and complaining that he is much better than Messi while he is not. and Torres play in different position but his level doesnt change from match to another like Ronaldo who didnt touch the ball infront of Barcelona while Torres cost barca the league last year

Your 4th in the league and Torres has scored.. what? over 30 goals this season. Practically sais everything that does.

**Fernando9** · 05-07-2008

why did you quote me then Im talking about Ronaldo not Torres

**Phaded** · 05-07-2008

It's the fact you criticize a player like him yet perhaps you should look a little closer to home before doing so. Torres has been in Ferdinand's back pocket against us.

By the way completely off topic but... what's with your avatar. I thought you were a Liverpool fan or am i just not getting it lol.

**StoneyPS3** · 05-07-2008

Now now calm down boys.

I denno what else to say.

(I really hated this years semifinal cuz they both lost )

**Phaded** · 05-07-2008
