was watching mnf before the game and it showed this season that hernandez byhimself gt us 9 points not talkbout the goals where numerous goals, just the 1s where hernandez won it 4 us or gt us the ppoint, and the amount of ppl here that say shud sell hernandez when ppl ask whow ud they buy and sell etc. ye the boy isnt great and running with the ball but what he does good he does it brilliantly, i bet once he gets a full proper season without injury and rotations he'd get 30 goals plus a season the chelsea def cudnt handle him, hopefuly he starts against liverpool

Looks like Shaqiri is going to Munich in the summer and apparently for as little as £10 million! Bargain for them, disappointing for united. Quality player.

On February 6th 1958, the finest team British football has ever produced were tragically taken from us. Forget the arguments today. Only one thing matters.
We are United.

Hi everyone,
I am not here to critisize anyone or be so negative. And i do have complete faith in SAF. But you got to admit.. sometimes he makes mistake even though in long run he has guided Man utd to glory.
I am talking about Ravel Morrison, I know he has his problems.. but who doesn't? I mean kids these days, you got to just look around ur neighbourhood to see what i m talking about. And i know he earns lot more.. so he has more responsibility. But he needs rite support. Friends, like Tunnicliffe. You have got to admit, the boy is one of most talented in europe. Yes he has problems but when it come to football pitch, in last year Fa youth cup game v liverpool.. when Pogba got red card... and that other kids were fighting.. who had coolest head and was commanding in the team. RAVEL MORISON. He just calmly played and even tried to break up the fights even thoguht he was being attacked ridiculously by scousers! I know he demanded more playing time with europa league and everything. Even if we couldnt give him chance in man utd we could have signed him and send him for a loan. Its SAF and Man utd. What we can even sort out a good loan place for the kid( BOlton or posh etc). All I am saying is we could have made some effort. We are Man utd and we had so many home growns. Now we have scholes, giggs, welbeck, cleveryly thats it!! and 2 almost retiring soon. Yes i know pogba is coming soon but still. We had 3 beautiful midfield who understand each other... POGBA, TUNNICLIFFE, R. Morrison. We had so many players who couldnt perform and we know that they r average, ANDO, BEBE, Obertan, Diouf. So why couldnt we give chance to a very talented our own home grown? There by giving him the trust and inspiration to work hard on his loans. Atleast We could have put a buy back clause.
Only way i can see, that we can make up for it is to ROSS Barkley!(we r damn sure we aint getting Wilshere).

There once was a team who had the world at there feet, they were on the cusp of greatness but fate had other ideas and their lives were cut short on a snowy munich runway. But there greatness lives on in those who remember them, the club who's identity is now so tightly wrapped with them that it is impossible to distinquish the two as seperate beings. Our hearts beat as one as we are united, and on this day I will shead a tear for those who were lost on that sad day, reat in peace princes of manchester.

This will be my only post today out of respect for the busby babes. All other conjecture should be put aside today as we remember the greatest side to have never reached its peak.

MUST READ

"Anton is my little brother. We have grown up together and I looked after him when we were kids. If something is going to affect him and hurt him, I am always there as a shoulder to lean on. In moments like this, when things are so public and you can't really say anything, it can be frustrating.

"For my family, yes, it has been tough. At the end of the day, my brother has not brought any accusations to anyone. He is not the accused. But he has had to sit there and take abuse from some small-minded people, which has been very disappointing."

One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany,
Eight great football stalwarts conceded victory,
Eight men who will never play again who met destruction there,
The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester

Matt Busby's boys were flying, returning from Belgrade,
This great United family, all masters of their trade,
The Pilot of the aircraft, the skipper Captain Thain,
Three times they tried to take off and twice turned back again.

The third time down the runaway disaster followed close,
There was a slush upon that runaway and the aircraft never rose,
It ploughed into the marshy ground, it broke, it overturned.
And eight of the team were killed as the blazing wreckage burned.

Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor who were capped for England's side.
And Ireland's Billy Whelan and England's Geoff Bent died,
Mark Jones and Eddie Colman, and David Pegg also,
They all lost their lives as it ploughed on through the snow.

Big Duncan he went to, with an injury to his frame,
And Ireland's brave Jack Blanchflower will never play again,
The great Sir Matt Busby lay there, the father of his team
Three long months passed by before he walked again.

The trainer, coach and secretary, and a member of the crew,
Also eight sporting journalists who with United flew,
and one of them Big Swifty, who we'll ne'er forget,
the finest English 'keeper that ever graced the net.

Oh, England's finest football team its record truly great,
its proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate.
Eight men will never play again, who met destruction there,
the flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester
