Ah so we have a Mancunian for a guest. Nice! Here are my questions to Heathy
1. Name three players you would love to see at Man united
2. Name three players of the current Man Utd team you would release/sell
3. Imagine that you see Berbatov and Ronaldo hug and kiss each other. You take a photo with your camera. What would you do with the photo?
a) you'd organise a tender and sell it to "The Sun" or other tabloid
b) you'd burn it and keep silence about it
c) you'd keep it next to your bed
4. What do you know about Bulgaria? (Berbatov aside)
5. Who do you think was United player of this season?
6. Share your thoughts on Aston Villa. What do you think of them?
7. What kind of music you love listening to? Name few bands you like?
8. Name few movies you find unforgettable.
9. Do you think that Berbatov's hair is oily?
10. Would you trade Nani for Steven Gerrard?
1.1.petr cech...but only if he took his comfort blanket away,he's just not the same since he had to wear it,and i get his fears because my bro had the same thing happen.
1.2.torres,and by all accounts we had him watched A LOT but decided against going for him because it was apparently felt he might not fit in (kind of like ruud didn't) to a system that doesn't really have/desperately need a pure goalscorer (see our successes with ruud) :sad:
1.3.if we couldn't get william prunier back,i'd go for LM10. nft needed.
2.1.nani (gone backwards this season)
2.2.kuszczak (promote foster to number 2,and use ben amos or ron robert ziegler as 3rd choice)
2.3.gibson (decent,but he's got too much in front of him)
*see edit as well
3.(b) burn it
4.not a lot if i'm totally honest,but i did love,and i still remember clearly,jumping around at home when this happened.
5.wayne rooney....but my fav footballer atm,for a ton of other reasons is patrice evra.he makes me smile out loud when i see him,on and off the pitch.
6.i'm jealous of randy lerner's sensibleness compared to the buffoon platoon that took over at our place.....and villa park is my favourite ground to visit outside of ot......team wise,they were always gonna die on their arses towards the end of the season cos of the intertoto early start,and they did,unfortunately.
7.QOTSA...........Doves...........Portishead...... ..Primal Scream........Jeff Buckley.......Mark Lanegan...............and basically all other forms of music,and i also have a fondness for OST's from things like Kayaanisqatsi to John Carpenter. oh and Morricone and Schifrin too
8.Memento......The Usual Suspects......Pi........The Story of Ricky
9.naturally or by design???
10.in a heartbeat
edit:if you wanted 3 proper 1st teamers for me to release/sell,it'd be vds (age)....tevez (too much) and nani (underwhelming) though i think he actually had a better first season than ronaldo,just.

"Winning matches at all costs is not the test of true achievement; there is no dishonour in defeat as long as you play to the limit of your strength and skill. What matters above all things is that the game should be played in the right spirit, with fair play and no favour, with every man playing as a member of his team and the result accepted without bitterness and conceit."
1) 5 CL titles and various domestic CUPS i.e. league cup fa cup but no league titles - while Liverpool in the same 10 years win 8 league titles.
2) 8 league titles no european trophies - while Liverpool win 4 or 5.
2.all day long.

imo,the one stand out thing is the football ethos that was created by matt busby,and barring the odd exception (dave sexton) every manager since busby has tried their best to uphold that tradition and play attacking football for the past 50 years.not all have been succesful,but they've tried.
all the other top clubs have had periods of being rather dull and making no attempt to play "risky" football at all,and in a land of sameness,apart from the tawdry business side,it's probably the willingness to play football that marked us out as different over a prolonged period of time.

a lot less than people think,i think.if he was argentinian and ugly as sin,but worked his arse off and gave high level performances every time he was called on,it wouldn't be in question either.

i don't like it.i joined the SU-AM (shareholders united against murdoch) that was started in the 90s to help stop rupert murdoch from buying the club,which we did in 1999,but tbh,from the time shares were floated to raise money to rebuild the stretford end,a takeover was always likely. :sad:
the worst bit is that the premier league have a "fit and proper" rule about owners,yet a man can take the most profitable football club in england/world and lumber it with a 600m mortgage,just so he can pay for it.....????? THAT seemed one of the least fair elements.

beckham is imo the modern day kevin keegan.not as naturally talented as others,but made a lot of his ability and grafted like mad to better himself.
they could have a joint autobiography called Hard Work and Haircuts,(How to Succeed Using Both)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....not this question :hmmm:...i might say vicky gomersall (mmm,puppies) but i'll commit and say that compared to the other 2,Natalie Sawyer looks like a woman and Millie and Georgie look like girls.
in fairness to me,i believe you know the answer to this is kirsty gallagher anyway.

ask guardian, he'll tell you!
he reminds me of The Dude out of the big lebowski for some reason.
i like him,he obviously hasn't excelled this year but we've not done badly with him in his 1st season.
he's marmite to our fans atm,but love him or hate him,i think he can and will continue to be central to certain types of games for us (quite possibly next week) and over time i think he will only get better.

--------------------------------
set II
1- ever had a heartbreak ? when was it ? my dad dying 12 years ago :sad:
2- your assessment of Barca this season , considering there was some turmoil before the season started and 4 or 5 (?) left with similar numbers coming in,no-one could have expected them to start how they did,especially under a new manager.in fact,it's in danger of turning into an almost perfect season for them tbf Beast...hope we can put a stop to that next week though.
3- same as above but for Real i haven't seen many games of yours this season,but,considering how close you'd have been if you'd won the 2-6,i don't think you're half as far away as it appears.
4- favorite band, male singer, female singer U2 or QOTSA, mark lanegan,beth gibbons from portishead,isobel campbell or neko case (depending on my mood)
5- most awkward position u had to face having to lay off my younger brother and his best friend when we all worked together.the company was bought out,i got promoted and told to tell everyone bar me that they had no job.
6- what do you do for living ? unemployed as of a month ago :sad:
7- places u visit ? through football i've been to tokyo,madrid,paris,barca,munich and loads of other cool places.....tokyo's the best of the lot though
8- places u wish to visit ? australia
9 - living in a cold country *Europe * or a hot country *UAE/Maldives*..etc cold country
10 - what car model do you own ? land rover freelander
11- your dream car ? bmw 635csi,like david and maddy had in moonlighting
12- Benzema , overrated ? i don't think so,but seeing him in another league should go to proving one way or another
13- which player from Barca and which player from Real would u like to add to your team? Casillas and Messi
14- your role model my dad
15 - name your fav movie the happiness of the katakuris
16- CR , is he really going to Real Madrid ? who do you think is the replacement no,and no-one could replace him imo,but if he were to go,i'd have chosen ribery myself
17 - strictly to Heath : your views on SAF usual Madrid rant last year .. gone too far ? or he should continue ? "i wouldn't sell that mob a virus"?he'd probably be better off keeping quiet,but tbf,he probably gets pissed off at the constant questioning about ronaldo and gave a "once and for all" answer
bloody hell,i it feels like i started answering those when liverpool were succesfull domestically......
