One simple answer to a simple question. Post in the comments

Goodbye Scolari

It doesn't come as a shock that Scolari is fired. It is surprising that he has been removed immediately. He definitely deserved a chance IMO.


He obviously has WAY more experience than "Moron"iho and has achieved what Moroniho can only dream of. For someone who has managed over 20 teams, this is a kick in the teeth. My respect for Abramovich was never there. However, this decision makes me LOATHE him even more. He needs to realise that football is not only about winning. During Moroniho's term, Chelsea played THE most boring football. The only thing exciting were Moroniho's mind games and quotes. Avram Grant did a very good job too. He may not have had the charisma, but he was a funny and shrewd manager. I hope Abramovich loses all his money in the recession and leaves Chelski as soon as possible for the sake of FOOTBALL!

Enough said, the players have definitely let Scolari down. Chelsea are being linked to Ancelotti, Frank Rijkard, Guus Hiddink and the fans' favourite ZOLA.

I'd prefer Manutd fighting for the title with Chelsea rather than Liverpool (who never really were a threat) anyday.

Oh, and Tony Adams has been sacked from Portsmouth too. What else would you expect from an ex Gooner? Lol. I'd like to see Roy Keane take up the position and I'm not saying it because I'm a United fan but because he is the ideal person for the club. He did the same with Sunderland last season, I'm sure he can do it again with Portsmouth. However, Portsmouth are apparently lining up Avram Grant. They're also being linked to Curbishley and Graeme Souness.

All I can say is look at SIR ALEX FERGUSON. 22 years at the helm! No matter how much people hate him, they cannot deny his managerial ability. I only hope that day never comes when he retires!

The reason I'm not asking regular questions is because they can easily be googled. So, I'll stick to "Connect"s for a while!

Feb 6th, 1958 - Forever Remembered


February 6th will forever be circled on the calendars of everyone connected with Manchester United.

On that day in 1958, the darkest day in United's history, 23 people - including eight players and three members of the club's staff - suffered fatal injuries in the Munich air crash.

Flying back from a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade, the team plane stopped in Germany to refuel. The first two attempts to take off from Munich airport were aborted; following a third attempt, the plane crashed.

Twenty-two of the people on board died instantly, while Duncan Edwards - one of the eight victims from the team - died 15 days later as a result of the injuries he sustained.

The tragedy is an indelible part of United's history, as is Sir Matt Busby overcoming his injuries to build another great team which won the European Cup 10 years later.

Roger Byrne (28), Eddie Colman (21), Mark Jones (24), David Pegg (22), Tommy Taylor (26), Geoff Bent (25), Liam Whelan (22) and Duncan Edwards (21) all died, along with club secretary Walter Crickmer, trainer Tom Curry and coach Bert Whalley.

Eight journalists died - Alf Clarke, Tom Jackson, Don Davies, George Fellows, Archie Ledbrook, Eric Thompson, Henry Rose, and Frank Swift who was a former Manchester City player. Plane captain Ken Rayment perished, as did Sir Matt's friend Willie Sanitof. Travel agent Bela Miklos and passenger Tom Cable also died.

We will never forget.
