Many Are Called. Few Succeed. Manchester United: Beyond the Promised Land

T.I.O.T's Guide to United Chants

Watching the United fans slag off Pennant in the clip i posted just the other day made me realize how much i love my fellow Manucunians, the pride and passion in the chants coupled with the creativity behind the lyrics of the chants are just second to none. We're pretty much got a chant for every other occasion and if we're ever in an occasion with nothing to shout about, there's always the scouse, city and leeds bashing to revert to. So here's a bulk of the chants out there together with clips of em being sung in OT, Bishop's Blaize(the pub just down the street from OT) and at away games.

United 2:0 Sheffield

2 clinical strikes, from Carrick and Rooney both 4 minutes into the start of each half made the difference in an otherwise drab, boring game, mainly due to Sheffield's lack of effort especially in the last 15 minutes of the game. Highlights of the game include Ronnie offering Morgan his jersey as well as Alan Smith pulling a 'bowyer' and having a swing at Fletch, albeit accidentally. Lol.

Incident 1.

For those who missed out, check out on the incident, check out the clip below

Incident 2.

Once again, for those who missed out, check out how the incident unfolded in the following clip.

Roll on Boro! Here's hoping for a 3-0 win, with a Ronnie hattrick from banging home 3 penalties. That'll shut em cunts up.

Argel Fucks off to Benfica

Argelico 'Argel' Fucks (born 4 September 1974 in Santa Rosa, Rio Grande do Sul) is a Brazilian professional footballer. Fucks plied his trade in his homeland as well as Japan, Portugal and Spain. He won the Rio Grande do Sul State league, the Brazilian cup, the Brazilian champions cup, the Conmebol Cup plus the Portuguese league, cup and Supercup. He also represented Brazil internationally at the Under-20 level winning both the South American Championship and the Youth World Cup.

In his years playing in Brazil, he earned a reputation of being a dirty player. Among other things, he was accused of wearing rings as a weapon to hurt his rivals, he had a role of about four sending-offs on ten games while playing for Santos, and a really rough game while marking Boca Juniors' Román Riquelme, playing for Palmeiras, at 2001 Libertadores Cup. In the game which Palmeiras lost on penalties, being eliminated from the tournament, and Riquelme giving three sequencial hummiliating dribbles on Argel, and was stopped with fouling.

Fucks' fame stems arguably from his peculiar (at least to English-speakers) sounding name which resembles forms of the English profanity "fuck". This has lead to a variety of double-entendre headlines including an infamous one from Eurosport.com entitled "Argel Fucks off to Benfica". This headline received press coverage itself with The Register calling it "snappy and eye-catching" and football humour site Laugh FC deeming it "one of the all time greats".

Just imagine if he had a brother and if Benfica wanted him as well, a Palmeiras spokesman could very well say they could'nt give two Fucks and get away with it. Lol.
