United search for consistency

Tue, 03 Nov 09:52:43 2009

Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for his Manchester United side to build up a head on steam in the coming months.

A 2-0 victory against Blackburn at the weekend saw the champions get back on track in the Barclays Premier League, following their defeat by Liverpool. And on Sunday they travel to Stamford Bridge for a meeting with leaders Chelsea.

Ferguson said: "It is a tough league. We are experienced enough at this club to know how difficult it is to win the league. It is not going to be any different this year. The great thing about us is that we know it is a difficult league."

He added: "Mistakes are going to happen - you lose games you do not expect to lose. You go for consistency - and if we are in there in January we have a great chance."

That theme was taken up by by midfielder Michael Carrick, who said: "It is always a big game at Stamford Bridge, no matter what the occasion is.

"When it is tight at the top like it is, after the defeat to Liverpool we do not want to lose track on the big teams - and it will be an important game for us.

"At this stage of the season, it is just about accumulating points and seeing where you are in the later stages.

"The table is changing week-in, week-out. But after Christmas, things tend to settle down a bit.

"Then maybe you get one or two that pull away - and we hope we will be included in that. You've just got to believe in yourself; if you do, anything can happen."

  4. CONVERSATION OVERHEARD IN HMP ATAVAR

    Stevie O Jay and­ Marlon King are settling into their new home. There’s a­ bit of friction.

    Stevie O Jay : Pheuuuufff
    Marlon King­ : Whaattt?
    Stevie O Jay : Ah nothin’
    Marlon King :­ What? You’re the one going Pheuuuufff.
    Stevie O Jay :­ Your feet Marlon, your feet, your f*cking feet?
    Marlon­ King : What’s wrong with my feet?
    Stevie O Jay : Can’t­ you smell or something?
    Marlon King : Huh?
    Stevie O Jay­ : Ere lad, your feet stink the place out. Even the­ f*cking screws don’t come in here anymore. I don’t know­ how many times I’ve told you, wash your f*cking­ feet!!
    Marlon King : Oh. Alright then.
    Stevie O Jay :­ Huh, thanks a lot.

    Marlon starts to sort through his­ washbag, gets his favourite soap out, his nice new­ facecloth and begins to give his feet a wipe.

    Marlon­ King : Have you heard the news?
    Stevie O Jay : What­ news?
    Marlon King : About Benny?
    Stevie O Jay : Benny?­ Benny who?
    Marlon King : Benny The Ball Benitez.
    Stevie­ O Jay : What about him?
    Marlon King : They say he’s not­ a real manager.
    Stevie O Jay : Not a real manager ..­ whatdya mean?
    Marlon King : He’s not Benitez.
    Stevie O­ Jay : ( Perplexed ) What!?
    Marlon King : His real­ name’s Benitio. He’s mob.
    Stevie O Jay : Eh?
    Marlon­ King : He’s not Spanish .. he’s Italian.
    Stevie O Jay :­ Whatdya mean he’s not Spanish?
    Marlon King : He’s­ mafioso.

    Marlon cleaning between his toes flicks a­ ball at Stevie.

    Stevie O Jay : F*ck off.
    Marlon King :­ ( He flicks another ball of cheese ) Something to do­ with Capello’s mob. Apparently the football club is a­ front for people trafficing.
    Stevie O Jay : Eh?
    Marlon­ King : Yes, you heard me right, I said people­ trafficing.
    Stevie O Jay : ( Totally confused )­ What?
    Marlon King : The Italian mob were trying to find­ a front for their operation. They tried Loserpool. Do­ you remember when you won the Champions League?
    Stevie­ O Jay : Yeah, great night.
    Marlon King : Well it was­ alright til half time.

    From Stevie O Jay, on Mon 2 Nov 8:16PM
  5. Marlon King : Benitio couldn’t believe his luck when­ you won the Champions League, made him look like he was­ a football manager. It was all luck. He’s knows nothing­ about football. He’s been winging it since then.
    Stevie­ O Jay : ( Taken aback. ) Knows nothing?
    Marlon King :­ Nope. The Italians weren’t too happy though. You­ weren’t supposed to win. Benitio was supposed to throw­ the game.
    Stevie O Jay : No-one told me.
    Marlon King :­ Benitio was supposed to tell you.
    Stevie O Jay : Well­ he didn’t. F*ck!!
    Stevie O Jay : F*ck!!
    Marlon King :­ The Italians weren’t happy bunnies. Anyway, Benitio was­ making so much money trafficing people in and out as­ football players, taking a cut of the fees that it­ saved his life. He paid back the mob and made Capello­ rich. Everybody was happy. But that’s when the American­ mobs wanted a piece of the action.
    Stevie O Jay : How­ do you know all this?
    Marlon King : Ah, ah …... Benitio­ thought he was doing a great job but he hadn’t a clue­ what was really going on. Do you know some people say­ that he thought he was a real football manager? Like­ Alex Ferguson or something?
    Stevie O Jay : I thought­ he was a real manager.
    Marlon King : So does Benitio,­ that’s why it was so sweet.
    Stevie O Jay : So that’s­ why the Americans mob bought the club. It didn’t make­ sense. They didn’t seem to get on ….
    Marlon King :­ ….let’s call it a family disagreement.
    Stevie O Jay :­ They weren’t putting money in, … they were taking money­ out.
    Marlon King : That’s it, who’s a clever boy? Well­ things have gone t*ts up and the Americans want to­ bring in their own man in and I’m afraid that it’s­ ‘Goodbye Mr Benitio’.
    Stevie O Jay : And I thought it­ was the b*autiful game.
    Marlon King : That’s right. (­ Marlon flicking another ball of toe cheese at Stevie ) ­ On yer head.
    Stevie O Jay : Listen, do that one more­ time and I’ll set my ‘patsy ‘ mates on you.
    Marlon King­ : Ha, ha, ha, ha, not in here you won’t. .. ha, ha, ha­ , ha.
    Stevie O Jay : Ha, ha, ha,

  7. am a 40 yr fan of man u. stil am nervous n worried evry­ time they play.this yr is worse n top of that lost­ again 2 Livpl.if a club like man u want 2 rule in uk n­ europe we need classy players, skilfui like brazilians,­ strong n powerful.this yr man u is struggling n goals­ have been many times scored by luck.Fergie needs 2­ bring in new players,nt like Obertan or Valencia.alo­ some like neville ferdinand have made their time.

    From ashokbhut, on Mon 2 Nov 12:26PM
  8. If Rooney is given a free roving role that Ronaldo had­ in the last 2 seasons and Berba is paired with Owen up­ front it would be difficult for any defense not to­ cocede goals. Fergie should give that a thought.

    From CHANDRA S, on Mon 2 Nov 10:50AM
  9. Berba is getting better with every game and finally we­ can see he is starting to believe himself. MU starting­ 11 shoud be : VDS, Rafael, Evra, Vidich, Evans,­ Valencia, Giggs, Fletcher, Anderson, Berba, Rooney. I­ believe we only need a classy left winger together with­ a few hot prospects in the winter transfer period. Nani­ should be sold. Valencia and Obertan will play on the­ right side. The classy left winger will be covered by­ Park. Scholes, Carrick, Hargreaves and Gibson can­ always cover for the midfield and when Giggsy and­ Scholes retire we will need a new classy CM so we­ better start looking now. Also we have to sign Akinfeev­ from CSKA Moscow. He is young and talented.

  12. comment 1. I totally agree . m.u.f.c for ever­ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    From M S, on Mon 2 Nov 8:58AM
  13. United fans knew it would be more difficult without­ Ronaldo and Tevez, and it takes time to settle in a new­ formation and new tactics. We're on chelsea's­ heels,City haven't set the world on fire and­ Liverpool have disintegrated. Only Arsenal look­ particularly good,but time will tell in the winter­ months.
    We have excellent cover for Rio and keep an eye­ on the reserves with Tosjic, Oberton &Co all ready­ to step up to join a rejuvenated and fit Owen. It's­ looking good folks!
