  1. Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that he was not sure Wayne Rooney would be fit for Manchester United's Premier League game against Newcastle after the striker sat out the 2-2 draw with Benfica.

     

    Rooney sustained a hip injury in the weekend win at Swansea but Ferguson had hoped to have him available for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash at Old Trafford.

     

    He failed to recover in time to feature in the squad and it remains to be seen whether he will be back in contention for the visit of high-flying Newcastle on Saturday.

     

    Ferguson will not make a decision until nearer kick-off as he wants to give Rooney every opportunity to take part.

     

    Asked about the England striker's condition after the match with Benfica, Ferguson said: "He wasn't fit for tonight, so we need to wait to see what he is like over the next few days.

     

    "We will give him every chance, of course - we did for today, but he wasn't really fit, so we'll just have to wait."

     

    Dimitar Berbatov scored against Benfica after being handed a rare start, while Javier Hernandez came on for the closing stages.

     

  2. our fans getting a hell of a lot of stick on bluemoon because of the firework....sounds like there was a fair few c***s travelled down there

     

    a lot of stick for our attendance as well, cheers mike  :booze:

     

    Got absolutely zero interest in what their 'fans' think of us, the vast majority of them are small-time wankers who've only popped up in the last couple of years. The arrogance that they've built up in such a short space of time is sickening.

     

    aye, some of them are fast becoming on par with the scousers for their arrogance

     

     

  3. Where's this idea of Santon starting on the right of midfield come from?

     

    Lack of options? No matter who we put there, it's going to be a case of square peg/round hole since we have no natural right wingers fit. Pardew will look for maximum defensive-protection, so it will be between Santon, Guthrie and Gosling I think - can't see Ben Arfa getting a look in as he doesn't have the work-rate to play that role. Out of the three, Santon would be the most sensible option since he's a natural wide player.

     

    Fair enough, just wondered if it was something Pardew had hinted at. I'll be very surprised if it is Santon tbh.

     

    Santons actually said himself he can play on either side of midfield as well

     

    doubt it will happen but I think its a decent shout, would help simpson a lot

  4. The loyalty point system is f***ed up aswell. I have got tickets for Man Utd and Man City away while the points were at 25 and i have nowhere near that amount. Not complaining like but it is unfair on people who have the points and miss out.

     

    same, i managed to order 2 for me and me mate for man u....  it hasnt been adding my loyalty points either, which is annoying
