Weekly thingy yes or no?
So I thought i’d do this weekly column thingy on this site, which immediately brings to my mind, two things. One, giving credit where its due in the case of the site and the eds ( Hey you guys, seriously big fan of all aya) its truly well deserved. Thank you so very much for keeping this site so awesome for so long (long may it continue)
The 2nd thing that popped into me mind was, introductions are in order, after all, i know most of the posters and contributors here for the past few years now and have enjoyed it thoroughly and now hoping to reciprocate. i am living in Malaysia and am a Manchester united fan so much that i can’t help it…
08/08/2015
Now the 2015 version of Manchester untied looked a bit, oh how do i put it, tiresome in its first showing. I don’t think that its a sign of things to come this season as there is far too much quality lurking at good Old Trafford. So I m not going to try to put my thoughts across and then try and preempt any responses by justifying my opinions by pointing to minuscule incidents which, in the grand scheme of things, are… well, minuscule :)
I am however going to just quickly shed a little bit a light on a few thoughts currently residing in my mind…
LVG: I was glad we got him. I am of the opinion that the job was too big mr. moyes ( now that should help with the matter of ‘which group my allegiances lie with’. And at the end of last season we finished with a bit of a flourish which reinstates my faith in him. A few things of his that i do not admire however are quite strange traits to be had by a truly experienced and successful manager (oops sorry, “coachâ€) how he always reveals his plans way ahead of the match, (Sir Alex treated that as a cardinal sin so perhaps that's why it bothers me. I m not one of those ooh pep this, ooh mourinho that… SAF is the BOSS). Then there’s the matter of him not standing in the technical area and everyone has said almost everything about it so what am i to say…
The thing that does annoy me is his neck for playing players out of their preferred positions ( i know SAF was a guilty of it a few times too, but this guy does it like he is losing a race or something), and its worse because you have had three transfer windows now ( well 2 and a half …. and there’s my first and final tribute to the famous sitcom that is coming to end after 12 glorious years; Tiger blood) and you still want to convert depay into a no. 10.?!?!? Here’s a genius idea, let's get our most pacey guy and shove him in the middle where he can’t get no space… And this doesn’t help the team one bit, atleast not in that match. From all that i have read about that guy, he loves intricate attacking play and i am aching for my team to play like the ajax of the 90’s which is what got me excited in the first place. Now i know, i know it takes time and that's why i am still hopeful that this beautiful football with trophies as a consequence is coming soon to a seat near you in Old Trafford ( and i am talking to the home crowd, you .01% of smart asses out there) as i refuse to believe that someone who has publicly and repeatedly professed his love for the passing game won’t be too pleased with what we have achieved so far, unless, all he knows for real is what to say, when in trouble???
Mata: Gots to go. Don’t like him. know about 20 spanish players better than him. If LVG doesn’t see him as a good enough 10 than no point playing him in the wings or wide because spinning with the ball ain't going to get you anywhere despite the brilliance of your touch. Hopefully with Pedro’s arrival, we can finally see mata in the middle for a few game and decide once and for all, if he is any good for us ( not really interested in what he has done for chelsea or valencia or what anyone else has done in their past for that mata ( i had to make the pun, that's the kind a humour i am peddling :$ and yes i went double parenthesis, in fact i ma go triple parenthesis( Boo yah!) ) :D)
New Signings: AWESOME. We got ( oh crap now i got to google his spellings) friggin schweinsteiger from munich… And he looked a class above with that silver streak on the side of his head… This is is the stuff of legends… ( i don’t subscribe to the 'oh he is past it’ debate… regardless of how much footballing he has left in him. its akin to getting giggs from us, even at age 35… These are just things, i am sure at least one or two of ya will agree, that just seem like they are never going to happen, especially these past few moons have been a bit tough so this kinda news mixed with depay’s new haircut (bye bye wolverine) Darmian’s swagger and schneiderlin's ( lol googled to spell check, but turns out i already know his spelling ) tackles and suddenly life seems beautiful again…
Now get me a CB won’t you please eddie. i’ll ask blind to cover for shaw…
di maria: Good riddance. said no to SAF once before. should never have gotten him (although like all of you i was excited about him too but hey, that's life). Seems like an alright guy though with a family, and hey if he is actually moving to please his wifey then good on him…
De Gea: don’t want him to go. But romero looks like he’ll give Johnstone ( a bit Neuer-ish, Talent and a half) a tough battle to be Loris's deputy… :)
Parting thoughts: More Herrera & Perreira (didn google this one) Please!!!!

I'm sorry but mata is our best player and should be in at 10 with the team built around him.

Are you by any chance American?
Not sure what you mean by a weekly thingy. You are as free as anyone to post your thoughts, daily or weekly, whichever floats your boat
08 Aug 2015 16:41:54
Ask about the possibility about writing for the FNV page, ED001?
{Ed001's Note - he would be very welcome if he wishes to do so.}
08 Aug 2015 17:09:08
@Ryan12: Hey man you don't have to be sorry about mata :P. Let me tell you something, i genuinely think you maybe right, i actually hope you are. i like him as a guy.
@AJH: No. I am not American *was totally expecting this question B-)*.
SO wait a minute, i can do whatever pleases me????!??!? are you sure about that? are you messing with me??
@Jose Moonrinho ( hahaha clever ). I'll take that as a compliment and i respond in gracious thanks. I'll definitely check with the eds.
@ed001: i am not sure if u read the post but i take your offer as an even bigger compliment because i'm just such a big fan :)
{Ed001's Note - I will get Ed033 to email you the details then mate.}

@ryan12: don't be sorry about someone else ever bro!!! i jest of course. But lemme tell ya something, i think you maybe right, which is so infuriating to me because that makes me think about reasons why he may not be playing in his ideal position ( or as LVG would say 'Poshishun' ) and i can't think of any besides LVG's ego or some unfounded obligation to the world of football to prove that mata can't play in the wings and not till he has heard from the very last soul on earth will he do anything about it, it would seem i am afraid to say brotha.
@AJH Dude i have read so many of your posts so THIS is kinda cool. Now. hold the phone!!! dju mean to say i can do whatever i chose to, do!!! Is this even legal you, Outlaw, you hahaha. And no I am not an american.
@Jose Moonrinho (hahaha clever): I take that as a compliment ma man and respond with a gracious thank you.
@Ed001: I don't know if you actually read my whole post ( i know it was long, I am sure they'll get shorter) but if you did, that's an even bigger compliment because i am just such a fan. i'll write anywhere you folks want me ta. i'llll wwrrite on the walls for ya lolll
{Ed001's Note - I was too busy blushing to reply to that bit. I am just saving it to show the missus.....}
08 Aug 2015 18:03:16
Oh crud!!! i thought my earlier post didn't go through. urghhh. ok things are bout to get weird.
08 Aug 2015 18:05:27
Sure thanks Ed.
{Ed001's Note - no thank you mate, always on the look out for good quality writers.}
08 Aug 2015 20:42:43
Hahahaha. you and kyle walker sure made my day. ( i have a few theories on what rooney was thinking while prepping for the shot, the most logical one of those is that, that ( couldn't think of another word :S . oops maybe i shouldn't be telling you about my mental block. darn it there goes my writing career :D, and yes!! double parenthesis again because we're level on points with the top of the table team so i figure today we live a little) was the exact moment he realized that maybe he overpaid for his hairjob or maybe that wasnt an old prosi but a poor ol helpless ol lady he was trying to help, but he smoked so many dunhill lights that day that he thought ferdinand was naomi campbell and he actually propositioned him.
Thank you very much for the kind words mate. And i am totally not going to check my email a hundred times in the near future, and even if i do, i want you to know that i do that all the time, so no pressure lolll . ok i am getting outta hand. back to footie.
Peace
{Ed001's Note - double paranthesis and lol in one post, now that is worrying.....
Ed033 should send you the details fairly quickly via the email address you used on sign up, he might have even done it by now for all I know. It is just creating a specific page just for you to use, so it signs off with your name and you can get full credit for what you write that way. If it does work out for you and you end up going for a job as a writer, you can then use the articles for your CV.}

Hahahaha. i worry myself sometimes.
Thats great. i haven't received anything from you folks ( although i did have a bit of a meltdown thinking i may have deleted the email, but gmail takes good care of what's important so ). I'll definitely give it a whirl.
At the risk of sounding a little girl caught up in emotions, i must say, at best i was hoping for was a few regulars either ripping me apart or agreeing with what i wrote in their own way which, in reality, actually seems like they are disagreeing. I was most nervous about what or if eds would say anything, so this a huge thing for me is all i wanna say. i think i got to stop selling my self short eh.
Thanks a tonne you guys!!
