cheers for that...
The real Valencia is back. He's no number 7.
I guess it was written in the stars really.
The Charity Shield at Wembley, we always win at Wembley
David Moyes held onto the Charity Shield as if it was his baby, and, well, it is. His first trophy on his first attempt. After the game he could begin writing his own United history like Ferguson and Busby. Deep down he knew it.
A sweep around the stands showed you how much it meant. Paul Scholes with a grin as wide as the Irwell, Eric Cantona and Gary Neville unconscious from shock. Wayne Rooney, arrested for running up to the Wigan enclosure brandishing twenty fingers. This was as good as Moscow, this was as good as the Nou Camp in 99. Wembley 2013 was the time it happened. Wembley was where Moyes won his first Charity Shield.
Just twenty minutes ago it was all so different. Anderson's 60th penalty miss meant Wigan just needed to hold on to their slender 1-0 lead and the title was theres,
It was the third minute of stoppage time, Owen Coyle frantically tapped his watch.
Holt lumped the ball away and it landed at the feet of Anderso. Anderson, on the back of one of the worst ever seasons a professional footballer has had, was booed instantly. But, rather than buckle, he suddenly grew in stature, as if the spirit of Busby had gone through him. He sidestepped Maloney, nutmegged Mcarthur, played a one-two with erm Cleverley, and all of a sudden was facing Boyce one on one. Boyce lunged in for a tackle, but Anderson was away. He slotted the ball, under Al-Habsi, and...and....YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS! The whole of Mancester erupted.
The 45,000 Manchester fans who’d made the trip joined in. The noise echoed around the City, a noise so loud, and so passionate, it nearly arose Caesar from his grave.
Giggs, Neville and Carrick the heart of United's team under Ferguson, celebrated by the tropy. Giggs walked over to Robin and said: “This is fecking yours Van Persie, go get it.”
As Moyes walked around the pitch with the European Cup, he noticed an almost greyed presence watching, approvingly from the Directors Box.
Before David had a chance to mouth “feck off Woodwood and sign me some players”, he noticed, that this was a presence that wasn’t really there. It was a presence he’d seen dozens of times before, most recently at the Tesco's on Tuesday
“Thanks Fergie", he whispered, to nobody but himself.
Then Rooney grabbed the Cup of him, and the celebrations truly began...

Maybe the poor guy felt the No. 7 shirt was a curse for him.
Excellent, Valencia isn't #7 anymore, it means he will now be awesome again.
I mean seriously, how did he ever think he could follow up Owen anyway?

No 7 being readied for Ronaldo's return.
Not a curse but too much pressure I reckon. Whatever it takes to get him going I guess.
Did anyone actually bother to read past the first paragraph of Twigg's terribly unfunny post?
Valencia himself requested for it back though
Yeah, I read it all
Tony requested to go back to 25? Didn't he original request the 7, rather than it being handed to him?
Then we have to sign Ronaldo to wear it. Can't not have a No.7
The team looks alright to me. ITV have us lined up in a 4-3-3, which will probably suit us better. Giggs is good at providing service from that deeper left position.
A bit strange to see Valencia give up the number 7 shirt. Hope it brings him his form back.

I said "anyone", Rel, you don't qualify for that.
I read the first few lines and could not work out if it was a Rawk Parody but as I'm interested in the game the rest a miss.
I only do it to make you a better man.
He played 90 minutes 40 hours ago.
Reported.
Honestly I appreciate it, you're one of the best and most knowledgeable posters here, and it's always a pleasure interacting with you.
To make it smooth for Ronnie, team player Valencia.
''a lot more work before the season starts''
Ah FFS really feel like I should have gone today. I would have loved to see Moyes' first game. I fecking hate working Sunday nights. Might even have to miss the last 10 minutes.
45 mins of a practise match and still picked for the England team.
this is my first chance to see the team this year other than the occasional high light. rooney's fecking off to chelsea so I hate them even more. very disappointed in the cnut. let's get on with it. come on United!
feck Wayne. I hope it's not all the pundits and commentators go on about.
Yeah he "requested" it.
I think we deserve a muppetry thread on who the next no 7 will be. All 753 pages to keep up with our summer tradition.
quality post, sums up the whole Rooney thread very well.
5:46am here on the west coast of North America. I'm ready for some football.
Interviewing someone who is drunk on MUTV.will this goal line tec work? I hope so.
