Guest BooBoo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Also, a (barely) interesting day for recent pre-seasons. Shearer scored twice against Bayern Munich in 02. Nicky Butt scored twice against Villerreal in 06, having last featured in the Cardiff/Manu massacre. Then in 07, Smith scored his only goal for us. Mental how much i was buzzing that pre-season under Allardyce. I'm bored. Going into the Fat Sam season there was indeed a great buzz. New manager, new owner and a raft of new players- Viduka, Smith, Faye, Beye, Enrique, Geremi. The first half at Bolton we absolutely blew them away and remember texting my mate from the Reebok saying how good we looked. Hell it was even gloriously sunny that day. Mother of all false dawns.

Guest Brazilianbob Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 fter Iam McFaul's penalty save at Ibrox had kept the tie scoreless after the first leg, second half goals from two of our Scottish-born players sent us into the final. Sinclair's goal sparked a hail of bottles being thrown on to the field from the Rangers fans in the Gallowgate End and pitch invasion that followed halted play for seventeen minutes. Police made 30 arrests - all but five of which were from Clydeside - and 89 fans needed medical attention. Trouble had flared before the game in the city centre with pubs and shops vandalised, while visiting fans forced a gate at the Gallowgate End open to gain entry to the ground. And there had been a brief stoppage before half time in the tie, when Rangers supporters spilled on to the field after a bottle was thrown at their own 'keeper, Gerhardt Neef.. I was at the match in the old popular stand n as rangers fans were being escorted round the track around the pitch to be put back in the terraces one lad started giving the leazes end the finger. Naturally the fans reacted and he loved it. But he leaned a bit too close while giving us the finger and someone kePt up n grabbed his collar and pulled him into the leazes end. He was very lucky to get out alive cos al I saw was fists and boots laying into him. He deserved it tho My Granda is the polis in the pic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Even more amazing that Duff scored the goal that day. Krul's display that day was unbelievable, too. Should have been Nr. 1 that, at least in our first PL season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Eleven years since the dreadfully cynical Rob Lee testimonial. One of the few players of recent times to have pocketed testimonial cash rather than donating to charity. One of only two friendly games I've been too in the last twelve years (the other was the Rangers game in that mini tournament at SJP). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Yeah, heard a lot of stories that he was one of the greediest blokes ever seen at the club. Would insist on playing every game even when less than 100% as he hated missing out on appearance bonuses. His testimonial was completely unnecessary and shocking that he kept 100% of the cash. Not as if he needed it at all. Great servant to the club though before anyone starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 from .com 2010 United's hopes of doing a deal with Marseille for their French international midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa looked to have received a boost, when the player was said to have travelled to Tyneside. A photo doing the rounds was claimed to show the 23 year-old arriving at Newcastle Airport a few hours earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so optimistic at the start of that season It just shows how poorly managed we were that year. A team with Coloccini, S Taylor, Jonas, Given, Martins, Owen, Duff, Jose Enrique, Nolan, N'Zogbia and Beye should be nowhere near the bottom 3.
