The senior team went in 1985 (Jesper Olsen Paul McGrath, Norman Whiteside et al).

Correct, played West Ham Utd I believe

It was just after the FA Cup final victory. I was there for that game. First time seeing them live...

United Reserves vs. Man City Reserves on now
1 - 0 to United at half time. Pogba's on the field. Will Keane with the goal. Good striker, that.

Manchester United's net debt up by £26m as income falls nearly 6%

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/may/17/manchester-united-debt-glazers

Manchester United's net debt has risen by £26m and total revenue is down 5.8%, according to quarterly figures released by the club. The figures also reveal that the Glazer family spent the equivalent of more than £250,000 a day – which amounts to Wayne Rooney's weekly salary – on a £71m buyback of bonds and on interest payments over the past nine months.

Critics of the club's American owners argue such money should be spent on buying players and the revelations will cause further anger among fans, who view the heavy leveraging of United by the Glazers as affecting their ability to compete with Manchester City, the new champions, in the transfer market.

While United's accounts say gross debt has dropped by £61.2m from £484.5m to £423.3m, a 12.6% reduction, this is countered by the club's cash falling from £113m to £25.6m – a reduction of £87.4m – meaning the former champions are £26m worse off than 12 months ago.

The 5.8% fall in total revenue – from £75.2m to £70.8m – reflects United's exit from the Champions League at the group stage.

So there was that earlier article with Gaitan, Ferguson observed watching Kagawa and strong rumors about James Rodriquez.

Plus Hazard apparently proclaim that he going to either City or United.

Any one of these will be a good addition.

Scholes re-sign for a year but still no talk about a deep-lying playmaker to replace him.

Not hopeful about midfield reinforcements. In this article, Ferguson seems to think that Carrick is the answer  >:(

I wonder sometimes what he sees on the field, especially the bit about them never been overrun...

Boss clear on midfield

Sir Alex has reacted to the suggestion that he should be looking to invest in a holding midfielder during the close season.

The Manchester United boss has explained that he has never used a player to fill that specific role and cited Barcelona’s former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas as evidence that the most effective performers in the middle of the park need not be destroyers.

“If you look at the examples, Fabregas was one of the best midfield players in England for five years but he wasn’t a big lad and wasn’t a holding player,” said Sir Alex. “He was an attacking player. Xavi and [Andres] Iniesta are small players – you can’t call them holding players.

"I don’t think we’ve had a holding player since I’ve been here. We’ve never had a holding player.

“We tried to get Roy Keane to do that but he just couldn’t do it. He had to play a way that was his own way of playing, so I’ve not had it for 25 years. Why should I think about it now?”

In terms of midfield options, the manager expects Michael Carrick to build on a fine personal campaign and flourish with increased responsibility in the coming years.

“I think Michael Carrick has had his best season at the club,” he added. “I’m very hopeful now he will have an authority that will stand us in good stead for the next two or three years. That will be an important role for Michael, to replace Paul Scholes in that department.

“I always think he starts the season slowly but when we started putting him and Scholes together all the time, it’s a sensible combination in terms of both using the ball and their ability to take the ball. It gave us a central part of the pitch that was very strong.

"I haven’t seen them over-run. Against [Manchester] City, they were the best two players we had."

she have many friends that are gay. She has said that in her conversations almost all have had some kind of sexual abuse. 

And...

Is that fair grounds to deny equal rights?

What you talking bout?  Who denying rights?  Aren't the states voting?  How come that ain't good enough?

Individual states should not determine universal human rights. If left to the states, where would blacks and women be?

I remember reading Richard Clarke's book where he said that in the days after 9/11, they (the NSC) was planning their response, getting and assimilating facts and basically concentrating on Al Qaida and Afghanistan, when Rumsfeld walked in and started talking about atacking Iraq. Clarke says that everyone in the room was just stunned.

Condolences to the Man Utd faithful on here.

Man Utd did very well to push Man City all the way down to stoppage time at the Etihad on the final day of the season.

Man Utd is a great club with a proud history and Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the greatest managers in the history of English football.

Congratulations to the Man Utd team on a superb end to Utd's season.

Thank you.  :beermug:

They keep saying that it is one soldier, but eye witnesses seem to say that there were others. They talk about "the Americans" burning the bodies. I wonder which account is true...
1 or 100 d Tailban just got a gr8 excuse 2 retaliate not that they need 1.

The locals say how one man could have had time to kill, burn bodies and then go to other houses and repeat this.

Talking to some locals here and they say brace for the lashback. It go be bad.

Wow.. you are still in-country?? Stay safe. Here are eye witness accounts:

I think he's been very good... the only person that seems to have a problem with his season is you judging from your posts about him

I do agree with your comments about him giving the ball away and thats because he tries some audacious through balls when he should be keeping it simple in some areas but all in all he i having a fantastic season by scoring (primarily his job) assists, and being heavily involved in majority of the games he's played.. and there is still more to come from Wazza

 :o-Not! Last time I checked maintaining possession is also part of a footballer's responsibilty. Rooney has been very careless with the ball all season either giving it away by forcing passes, miscontrolling or letting players strip him because he is not aware of where the opposing player is so he dribbles/turns into the tackle. Great he has scored goals but he has also killed many attacks with his careless ways with the ball. We can agree to disagree.
