"Shut Up Keane"

So supposedly Keano has had a go at Ruud and his performances since January after the dutch hitman signed his new contract accusing Van Nistelrooy of not caring anymore and putting in second rate performances.

I'm sorry but who in the hell is Keane to talk? I haven't seen any world class performances from him this season and if he hadn't noticed Ruud has been injured for most of this year. It's about time the stupid irish fool stops slagging off everyone else around him and blaming everyone else for, quite frankly, the worst performing United side i've ever seen. If he's so concerned how about leading by example instead of flapping his gums all the time.

Given the choice between having this hothead or the prolific striker Ruudy in my side i'd be choosing Van the Man everyday of the week.

I heard something recently stating that Rio will be offered the captancy if Keano leaves or retires for a coaching role at United.

This is all because he's getting old.

With his growing age comes a an increasing loss of ability.

No longer is he the one making the headlines for every United victory - it's all about Ruud van Nistelrooy now.


We've all come to 'expect' too much from the Dutchman in recent times too. Every time he enters the pitch, we expect him to score. We've come to expect him to deliver the 3 points we've so badly needed several times this season (similarly to Henry at Arsénal).

And so, when it doesn't happen (for whatever reason - because we are still a team?), he gets straight on his back, and the pressure mounts.


Roy Keane is still the Captain of United, but is this a good way to go about 'controlling' the other ten-men?

...He really is losing it!

Its not that Van nistelrooy has been playing badly, its that he has been denied good service. He isnt a player who will create lots of chances himself, he is more a fantastic finisher, and if he doesnt get the service, he wont get so many goals. Keane should be more annoyed at players like Fletcher, Ronaldo and Giggs as Utd have been lacking creativity this season.

Yes and 9 times out of 10 they are spot on with their stories in one way or another. It's their job to exhagerrate on situations, they get paid to do so.

Whilst many Man Utd fans were laughing at Beckham going saying it will never happen, the papers had it all tied up 7 months before along with most people with any sense.

They annoy me with what they say sometimes but excluding The Sun and The Mirror the others hit stories before anyone else has any idea.

Haha oh, alright.

It would be a great buy - but it would never happen. Man Utd and 'Pool have never done business. Never have, never will.

So much so that they would rather sell him to Everton than United.

Was reading the Sun today and the main headline was about United getting ready to make a £20Million bid for Gerrard.

Be a great buy for United if it's true.

I wouldn't take much notice of them, you know what the media's like in this country; they would do anything for a 'story'

If you were to read some of interviews Keane has after matches or section he writes in the match programmes, he has nothing but praise for Ruud.

One of the Sunday papers, can't remember which one it was

Where did you get your info from?

not the sun I hope...
