That fecking tool has no respect. I have no problem with him having an opinion on O'Shea, but to speak of a United player in such a way is astonishing. I can not accept this man is a United fan. There is no way a self professed United fan can speak with such disdain about a player who, whilst may not be as naturally talented as Ronaldo, has served his Jersey to the best of his ability and given his absolute all.
My God.....I think I need a pint
The sport section is pretty decent for a free paper, not much inside knowledge, but the stories are almost always accurate more so than most of the shite you read in the nationals.
Of course you do, but I don't think you did it respectfully. You sounded like a spoilt 10 year old that just wants more and more.
They're not. They rip off the national papers, as CharlieSurf said.
I don't want him playing for United because he's SHIT, people who rate him are just plain deluded.
I'd be happy if he only played when it was absolutely necessary but him coming on and playing every fckin game just shows Fergie's over-loyal appraisal of him.
I rated him 5 years ago but now he's just a disgrace. He used to be lightning fast with good technique and some skill too.
Now he's just a slow, clumsy fat tard who can't neither pass nor cross a football.
Yes you do, as do I.
You are a disrespectful cnut.
Fair enough, you don't rate the guy, but ffs he's one of us, what gives you the right to call him out like this? A disgrace?
Do us all a favour and keep this shit to yourself next time.
Lets play a game...
what day will berbatov sign??
My bet goes on thursday the 28th

You can't really ban someone who's opinion differs from somebody's else's opinion. So no, its not banning material
I actually don't rate O'Shea all that much either, although I don't hate him like R.Nilsson7 does. Does that mean I need to be banned too?
Trippin_Stoned it's not about having an opinion. We all have opinions on players, but feckin hell.....to talk about a player as if he were a piece of fecking meat. It's not banning material, but it leave that cnut looking like a right twat
fecking bang on.
Tomorrow.
Spot on
I've been reading the thing for years and I've found it reliable and accurate
Find me another paper with the story about lodging a second bid for Berbatov
I wouldn't speak about a player the way he did, but I was more or less replying to the fella that asked for a ban.
60-40 isn't a guarantee.
Not really
Still much higher percentage of accuracy than the national rags.
cool
Thoose are good attributes but considering that O'Shea is a very, very bad player it just doesn't matter. I'm confident that if some of the younger players would get the same amount of playing time as him, they'll also get them.
All i have said is just that he's a terrible player, nothing personal just that. If you dont agree, fine. Write a counter-argument or just shut the feck up you sad muppet.
Can we please change the subject?
yes and no. people calling him names are a disgrace, but there's no use in going to the opposite extreme to try to make a point.
because he's a product of our acadeomy, of course we will be sad to see him go.
but make no mistake, after a first season that promised so much, O'Shea has been a big disappointment. while he can be solid, if unspectacular, in defence, he is woeful in central midfield, and any dispassionate observer will acknowledge this.
if his being in the squad detracts from our willingness to bring through young players by virtue of his 'experience', then that isn't really good for United, is it?
as Roy Keane is fond of saying, running a football club isn't for the sentimental --- or words to that effect.
Last post on the subject in the tread. You do understand that players demand money in return of playing football right? You have to keep a budget. I don't know if you've lived at home with your parents all your life because you seem to think player's wages is something that drops down from the sky. If these two brazilians are super quality they're soon going to be on the same contracts as other prodigies in football. At United the money is good because we want to keep mid range players happy as well when sitting on the bench. O'Shea is a cheap player for us but expensive for most other teams. You'll need these cheap players as well cuz we're not Chelsea and can't afford losing $$$ every week. I know these are youngsters and would probably lower the cost, but as I said, if they go on to become good it will cost more + if you buy someone who's better than O'shea he will probably demand a higher wage.
And to justify the post - I hope Berbatov signs tomorrow.
Throughout the years, I have always wondered which united players post on the caf or read it, and which user name they were always hiding behind.
With his vociferous and gallant defending of Sheasy, I have now come to the conclusion that Kinky Melinky, is actually John O'shea.

I reckon theres going to be news tonight, Fergie to say offer has been accepted & pending medical, he will be available for the Dippers.
Ok, so we'll opt to play bad footy to lower wages. Great sense of business the Successful larger than life executive implement into this discussion. I feel so relieved, why didn't I think about the wages earlier! Let's buy all the Stoke players we can, they're a bargain!
And to justify the post, I don't live with my Berbents, but Berba is welcome into my home anyberb.
What makes you think a player would want to read this kind of drivel (constant slating I mean)? It's bad enough with the sensationalist press.
Right now he is a better option than Rodrigo. He is our 6th choice midfielder, 4th or 5th choice centre back and 3rd choice left and right back, so clearly he'll only start in times of need. There's no need to sell him.
No that's not all you've said. People say that every day of the week, which is sad but not far from the truth. It clearly is something personal, since you made a whole big thing out of nothing.
Then you're clearly an idiot.
True. I'm supposed to be in Portsmouth preparing for the game but I got hooked online. I'm fecked. The gaffer is going to kill me
The Wetherspoon in Brixton is calling me but I don't think they're showing the game which leaves me with a slight dilema
Laooooo, you need SOME players with lower wages. What if everyone were on contracts like Rio, Rooney, Ronaldo??? O'shea is no superstar. He gets the job done, won't cost you a lot, so I don't see the problem. Of course SAF would pick other players if they didn't cost a thing.
Danny set to step into Arshavin’s boots
Portugal midfielder reveals Russian naturalisation attempt
As he prepares to become the second most expensive Portuguese footballer of all time, newly capped international Danny has revealed that he was approached to become a naturalised Russian, ahead of his recent Seleccao call-up from Carlos Queiroz.
The 25-year-old has spent the last three and a half years in Russian football, where he has excelled with capital club Dynamo Moscow, and his form in Eastern Europe led to a first international cap in Portugal’s win over the Faeroe Islands last week.
“Before I was called up for the Portuguese squad, a lot of important people from Russia spoke to me and I was made that proposal (to play for Russia) but I did not say yes. It has always been my dream to represent the Portugal national team,” said the 25-year-old.
It is a remarkable period in the career of the Venezuelan-born midfielder, as Danny is set to follow up his international bow by completing a 30m euro move from Dynamo to national champions Zenit St. Petersburg, making him the most expensive footballer in the history of Russian football.
Russian league’s top player
Zenit look set to sell star player Andrei Arshavin – with Tottenham and Manchester United known to be in the running for the Euro 2008 star – and by paying the release clause in Danny’s contract, the current Uefa Cup holders have identified the man widely regarded as the best player in the domestic game to fill his boots. Danny expects to sign the contract with his new club inside the next 24 hours.
Although regarded as the new powerhouse of Russian football after their league and Uefa Cup double last season, moving to Zenit will see Danny drop four league places, with Dynamo currently in second place and his new club languishing down in 6th in the Premier League.
However, the former Sporting man has plenty of reasons to be excited about his new adventure, which could start with a debut against Manchester United in Friday’s European Supercup. “I am going to play in the Champions League this season, and Zenit are still not out of the running to be champions of Russia,” he explained.
Danny’s move will make him the second most expensive Portuguese footballer of all time, second only to Luis Figo’s controversial 65m Euro move from Barcelona to Real Madrid in the summer of 2000.

O'Shea played really well in CM in 2005/6 when injuries/Keane leaving left us with a central midfield of O'Shea and Giggs. We won 10 games in a row but left it too late to catch Chelsea. In 2006/7 O'Shea had a fantastic season. He played a lot of games in different positions (including in goal!) and scored some really important goals for us.
Last year he played a lot less because our squad was a lot stronger with the likes of Anderson added and we just did not need him to "do a job" so often.
It can be dissapointing to see O'Shea in the team because it always means that a first-choice player is out injured. But to talk about him as a "disgrace" , as R.Nilsson did, is just disgusting. The lad is limited in skill but not in commitment. He's contributed to title wins by us and should get the respect that deserves.
Maybe for his own career a move to another team where he can be first choice would be good, in the way it was for Phil Neville. But until that happens I'm happy to have him around as cover for the likes of Evra.
You intend to brave the pubs in Brixton?
Abso-feckin-lutely. I like Brixton. Real folk here with real lives. Plenty of characters. I think I'm the only white person here
A bloke got shot here last night. You don't have to watch an episode of Cops. Just stick your head out the pub window for a few minutes and you should catch something
True. I'm supposed to be in Portsmouth preparing for the game but I got hooked online. I'm fecked. The gaffer is going to kill me
Don't mind the pimply faced kids, Sheasy
They'll slobbering all over your cock once you have another spell in goal.£25M take-it-or-leave-it is a good move. We can't be dancing to Levy's tune until 1st Sept, not when there's other quality out there that would cost less...
Don't mind the pimply faced kids, Sheasy
That doesn't make me want to score funnily enough
Sperm is supposed to be good for skin problems I've heard. And we all know Sheasy is a gent.
