If Big Mike realises how much worth that little DHL sign is it won't be long till our shirt/training shirt will look like the milliondollarhomepage.

Am I the only one that thought 'Man U must be in some trouble if they're doing this'?

 

another way to help them meet the financial fair play rules, I'd expect to see more things like this from the big clubs in the near future

 

Actually, yeah, this makes more sense.

Does anyone know of a link / site for all the derby game results / scorers for say the last 20 / 30 years. I've tried for hours and cant seem to find anywhere that gives this info all in 1 place. Keep getting the same results no matter what search i stick into Google.

 

Trying to find out the goal scorers so i can make an animated gif with all the scorers in it.

 

Any help appreciated thx  :thup:

Taken from another forum, summarisation of a talk-in with Beardsley from just before the Arsenal game. Make of it what you will, think some will have comments to make about his views on Ashley...

 

 

On Enrique

All knew he was going but no-one put a bid in until Liverpool's. He had been to see Pieters and also the Ajax left back and would be happy with either, however the club can't afford to have 2 first choice left backs so had to wait until Enrique went.

 

On Cabaye

Thinks he could be world class, was raving about him the whole time. Said he's not there yet but in 1 or 2 years in the Prem he will be up there as one of the best. Thought we got good money for Nolan

 

On Xisco

Great lad apparently, works well in training, however ask him to run 10 yards to help out the left back and he won't do it. That's why he's gone. Said at the time they were looking at Bojan and Xisco, and obviously picked the wrong one!

 

On Ranger

He's never met anyone so misplaced in his own belief in his ability. Said to watch him and see how many times he controls the ball with his studs, reckons top players will never do that. He can bully the resrves with his strength but any decent defender will be too clever for him. He has the wrong attitude, doesn't watch any football, has no idea who Peter Beardsley was as a player! He asked him who his favourite player was and he told Beardsley it was Andy Cole, Beardsley said he had never heard of him! He was going mad trying to explain to him that he must have heard of him as he was Newcastle no 9 once! Had no idea he had played alongside him!

Says if you watch him when he loses the ball, he sulks for 10 seconds before trying to chase it down, too late by then, the ball is gone.

 

On Best

Real student of the game, watches matches all the time, has really tried to influence Ranger into becoming more professional. Just not sure if he's quite got enough about him talent wise to fully make it in the Prem. Would love him to though, says he would deserve it for his work rate

 

On Ferguson

They are looking at him as a left back rather than a winger as he isn't strong enough and doesn't like taking the ball with his back to goal, prefers coming onto the ball which suits being a left back better.

 

On Vuckic

Good player, lots of potential, just needs games now as he has had his injury problems. trouble is he is below Ben Arfa in pecking order so will probabaly have to go out on loan.

 

On Barton

because he is available on a free transfer, he can talk to anyone and doesn't even have to let them know if he is coming to training or not. I'm guessing that was what Pardew was talking about when he was saying he wanted a commitment from him before he would pick him.

 

On Tiote

Reckons he'll get twice as many bookings this year as last year, can't help himself!

 

On Ashley

Will defend him to the hilt and has offered to come out in public and do so but has been told not to worry about it. Reckons he will be here for quite a while now, has really made a difference behind the scenes with the structures put in place, it will take 3-4 years for the club to see the benefit of it though. Beresford was there and he reckoned the club has been 5 years behind other clubs, incl the mackems and smogs with the Academy etc. Reckoned Paul Stretford was asking about Rob Lee's 13 yr old kid,(on the books at West Ham), apparently Fergie had seen him play whilst no one at NUFC knew a thing about him!

Cheers for that, good little insights. :thup:
