Sir Alex Ferguson says the FA Cup is very much alive, with his Manchester United side hosting non-league Crawley Town at Old Trafford on Sunday. With attendances in the competition falling and the FA considering a major revamp of the 150 year-old tournament, the Scot says this weekend’s match is what the cup is all about.
Indeed, Ferguson is likely to select a strong side, with many of United’s fringe squad players joining some youngsters in the matchday squad. Although goalscoring derby hero Wayne Rooney is likely to rest along with top scorer Dimitar Berbatov and other senior pros, United could field up to nine internationals for Crawley’s visit.
“You talk about the FA Cup dying and it’s not dying as long as you have got giant-killing acts like Crawley have produced,” Ferguson told the press on Friday.
“Every manager will tell you, you don’t want to be a casualty. We lost to Leeds last year and it wasn’t easy to take that. They deserved to win on the day. They were up for it and made it a cup tie.
“It will be the same tomorrow. Crawley will get stuck into us and there’s no other way for them. We have got good experience of playing sides like Crawley over the years like Exeter and Burton Albion.
“It’s a reminder shocks can happen and almost did against those two teams. But I think the quality we have tomorrow shouldn’t give us the same worry.”
While Mexican phenomenon Javier Hernández is likely to start for Ferguson’s side, Michael Owen will sit out the tie after suffering a groin injury during training this week. The match, which kicks off at 5.30pm to suit the needs of broadcaster ESPN, will also provide another opportunity for fringe squad members including Darron Gibson, Gabriel Obertan and Bébé.
“We’ll play all the players who were involved at Southampton in the last round,” added Ferguson.
“Bébé will play, so will the two da Silvas, Brown, O’Shea, Chicharito. We’re strong in midfield with Anderson, Gibson and Carrick all available.
“It should be an interesting game. We’ve got good experience of playing sides like Crawley having played Burton Albion and Exeter. Those games were reminders that shocks can happen, and they almost did against those two teams. But the quality of players we’ll have on Saturday shouldn’t give us the same worry.
“We respect the fact that Crawley are the best non-league side for quite a while. They’re very committed and aggressive and it’ll be a tough game.”
Better news comes in the form of Ryan Giggs new contract, with the Welshman now committed to the club until June 2012. While the 37-year-old is unlikely to play against Crawley, a series of impressive performances from the bench have convinced Ferguson of the winger’s continuing worth.
And if Giggs is an inspiration to United’s youth then the next great Old Trafford star could be on the bench after half a dozen kids were handed squad numbers ahead of the Crawley tie. Striker Joshua King, brilliant Frenchman Paul Pogba, and midfielders Ryan Tunnicliffe and Oliver Norwood have each been handed a squad place.
Meanwhile, Crawley’s players warmed up for the tie by taking in an Old Trafford sightseeing tour on Thursday – somewhat belittling manager Steve Evans assertion that his side would play with no fear.
“It’s unbelievable. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” 23-year-old defender Kyle McFadzean told BBC Sport.
“I might not be able to play at Old Trafford again so we have to take our chances when they come. Whatever team they put out it will be a good one but we have to go there thinking we can win.
“There’s no point in going there expecting to get hammered is there? If we did that then there would be no point in turning up. We all think we have got a chance.”
Crawley’s extraordinary rise comes after the club almost went out of business four years ago. In the meantime, Crawley’s new owners Bruce Winfield, Ian and Susan Carter and Prospect Estates Holdings cleared the debt and pumped money into the transfer market much to other non-league clubs’ chagrin.
Dodgy financing it seems isn’t limited to Glazernomics. Fitting perhaps that Evans himself was once banned by the FA for financial irregularities.
The cup may not be dead but it’s certainly on life-support.
should be another opportunity to see how good the reserves are
make no mistake, crawley will be up for it and will take no prisoners – still, a similar team to that in the previous round should cope well with what they have to offer
SAF should put his best team out on the field.
I see Giggs has signed a new contract. He will be 38 this year. I guess SAF is going to keep him playing until he is 40 years old also. Looks like no new midfielders coming in this year.
Why would he possibly put his best side out given that we have to play Marseille mid week? Personally, I want to see Wes Brown given a game. Looks like he is on his way out which is a terrible shame.
Also, Go Bebe!
there’s a load of stuff in the papers today about how crawley will play with no fear etc and them fancying an upset
united should take them to the cleaners with a resurgent shrek in the 1st half and then send on the reserves to tidy up in the 2nd
Whilst the romantic in me is happy that these Crawley players get to play at Old Trafford, and their supporters get to come here, can I really be arsed to sacrifice a Saturday evening to watch I game I have zero interest in? Not really. I’d much rather watch Boardwalk Empire.
Thieving Glazer cunts.
is it on proper telly?
An oppotunity for the young reds thought, so they should try and live up to it
It will be on TV because those bookies are betting on Crawley and if Crawley were to win, they will be rich! The media are always looking for upsets in the FA Cup.
if anyone gives a toss – here is the united team….
Lindegaard, Rafael, O’Shea, Brown, Fabio, Gibson, Carrick, Anderson, Bebe, Hernandez, Obertan.
Subs: Rooney, Smalling, Fletcher, Kuszczak, King, Pogba, Tunnicliffe
hmmmm gibson starts again
maybe he will have found his level this time
Kojak will be pissed… can’t even get in the second team games… and hopefully Pogba will get a half hour.
At least we get to see Bebe and Gibson play at there level tonight…..
What a shit team fuckwad has put out tonigh
If not for Anderson, we’d have no midfield at all… Gibson and Carrick are anonymous.
No sooner I say that, Gibson fires in a great cross for a Brown goal.
about fucking time
brown scores
This should be interesting now… with Obertan, Chico and Bebe… we’ve got awesome pace… if the passing is right, we should tear them apart on the counter.
Ahhh… would love to have Fabio score there.
Gibson has started to run the game all of a sudden.
this game is giving me more angst than a league fixture tbh
Rooney on for Anderson?
Why?
Bebe is nowhere near good enough… he needs another 3/4 years of developing… at least.
Bebe is absolutely shocking…. million miles away from a prem player!
Fabio is crocked again…
He’s big, strong and quick, and you can see there’s a raw talent there… but he’s a good few years behind what he should be at… he just started too late I think… maybe if we’d gotten him at 15/16, we could have made a proper player.
Are we watching the future stars of Man United? Can you tell me which team is Crawley and which team is United?
Terrible football. Looks more like two non-league clubs playing.
words fail to describe that shite served up
wtf is happening to united?
ok not as bad as drawing at home with exeter 6 yrs ago but that was shit served up on a platter
no one looked even half decent save for smalling and brown – o’shea was ok and gibson had his best game in a long time but ffs this was a non league cunt of a club
hang your heads in shame this evening
bebe carrick and obentran are laughable footballers
obentran was the worst of everyone
atleast bebe can say hes still adjusting to life away from his cardboard box and the big issue
Bebe and Obertan are lucky severely flawed on this evidence. Bebe doesn’t even strike a ball properly, and Obertan’s decision making is very poor. Both of them seem to trip over themselves half the time.
They definitely need to go out on loan to get some regular game time. I am sure this will happen next season so Utd can try to save some sort of face and try to develop them.
Obertan was only 3 mill and has shown glimpses so might be worth persevering with. Bebe seems so raw its untrue. Surely the decision to spend 7 million on him has to be severely questioned. It just seems reckless, Fergie didn’t even see him play.
i cant remember obentran showing anything
just wirte em off like manucho diouf etc.
On another note, i know it is just Crawley, but Gibson showed some glimpses and was better than the rest of the starting midfield, which isn’t saying much!
In addition United really do need to keep hold of Wes Brown, he is good cover for RB and CB, has experience and is a Manc lad and we need to keep the soul of the club. Would be silly to sell him. Definitely would rather him as cover than Evans.
oshea was great tbf, apart from when he was moved to left back and skinned repeatedly
where is everyone ffs, we just got hammered by crawley, perfect ranting circumstances
One of the worst performances I have ever had the misfortune to witness. What I ever saw in Obertan, I will never know. He is a joke of a footballer. I worry that Bebe will never make it at United. He has a heck of a lot to learn.
The only pluses from tonight were Smalling and Hernandez.
It’s performances like this which make you appreciate what Wenger has done at Arsenal. I know they’ve won bugger all for 5 years but you look at how good their youngsters are and how competitive they will be for years to come. They don’t spend vast amounts of money. They have scouts who can spot a player and tell whether he will fit in at Arsenal. They need some tinkering here and there but, on the whole, they look good. Chuck their youngsters into the Arsenal first team and you would barely tell the difference. They are that good.
Exeter, Burton Albion, Leeds and now Crawley. I’m amazed Fergie hasn’t spotted a trend.
Alf made a point the other day about the Glazers – and I made a counter-argument that, actually, when he has had money Fergie has pissed it away.
As a United fan, it’s bloody embarrassing watching this shite. Worse still, you know what’s coming when we get drawn against a shit team.
disgraceful. we spent 10m on some spliffy street footballer dread head who can do absolutely fuck all. obertranny, what a shit bag.
an insult. fergie is a cunt, yet sold Tosic and Ljajic and bought Be fucking Bongo.
Anderson failed to impose himself on Crawley. Brazilian my fucking arse.
Why is everyone so surprised?
Ferguson fielded a team made up largely of players that can’t get into our first team… O’Shea, Brown, Bebe, Obertan, Chico… and our first team isn’t good enought to be our first team… this team was bound to be shite.
Insightful :o)
There’s no question about the players being shite, Alf, but when they demonstrate just how shite they are as they did tonight it can take your breath away. It surprises us that not even the manager can see this.
I mean, Crawley, FFS.
God forbid we suffer a massive injury crisis.
Someone at United does not know the difference between a youngster with potential and a youngster with world class skill and ability. I have to give credit to Arsene Wenger, he has an eye for finding world class youngsters.
Iam talking about youngsters at the academy age. How many youngsters at our academy are of world class quality? But at Arsenal, at least 90% of their academy players are of world class quality. Just look at their premier division team now. Yes all players have potential, but not all are of world class or good enough to become a household name in football. Our second team is of no real quality, yet Arsenal can put their second team out and destroy any team. We need some decent scouts. Who found Bebe and Obertan? Who recommanded these players? How many shots of rum did they drink when they were scouting thee players?
Quite a few!
I thought you loved Bebe, Herbs?
Pogba’s the only one who looks like he might be a diamond in the rough but will he get a chance? Will he bollocks. He will do brilliantly at another club, mark my words.
i know it was only crawley and perhaps the players couldnt be arsed but even shrek was getting simple passes wrong – oberfanny and bebolloxbe are woeful and they need to be shipped out asap – that performance was just plain embarrassing. carprick and anderfuck just don’t understand what it is to play with a red shirt – fucking clueless muppets
To be honest I expected this to be close-ish. Crawley are a non league side only in name and will be challenging for promotion to League One next season.
If you take it like that they arent that much worse than Southampton, who we only beat 2-1, then the result isn’t that surprising.
The side we put out today is about as good as on paper as a lower mid table prem league side (Bham for example) so 1-0 nil for them against a League One calibre side isn’t that much of a shock.
We are through to the next round, and if we expect to go any further than that the players that who played today will have to do alot better. A midfield of Anderson, Carrick and Gibson (3 full internationals) ought to be doing alot better.
Rooney was right all along, as i thought. What a rabble of dogshit. Bebe, Obertan, Carrick, Anderson, Gibson. I’ll not stop saying it till they’ve fuck’t off.
“NOT FUCKIN GOOD ENOUGH” Nowhere near. Fact.
Who’s our chief scout these days, Ray fuckin Charles?
Don’t kiss your granny when she’s shaving!
One positive was that we saw the first of Rooney in an attacking midfield role, something which could a role he might play more in the future.
ffs bill
i wish i could see any positives from that shit served up by our beloved united
even unclesmalldickffs is going up in my estimation with his comments today
Yep prob not that much of a positive! As I mentioned I probably expected something like a 2-0 win all things considered.
Just shows that we have about 15 decent players and after that they are of championship quality. Bebe and Obertan need to go out somewhere on loan, the Championship might be a good starting point if they are going to play in the long term. If not send them to a foreign club and hope you can at least recoup the money spent on them.
Going further why don’t we just use the youth products to fill up the squad. James, Cleverley & Morrison are no worse than Bebe and Obertan. Would cost nothing and having the core of the club English would be better for the dressing room IMO.

You’re missing out Valencia, and Scholes is definitely retiring this June.
Otherwise I agree entirely with the exception of keeping Evans. He’s been pretty useless this season, but then so have plenty of others. He’s young and we know for sure he is capable of consistent top-draw performances. Needs time.
Sadly I imagine O’Shite will be retained for his “versatility”.
Just a thought… but has Ferguson been in charge too long?
Every dynasty has its day… but there comes a time when dry rot sets in… when favouritism towards certain individuals… promoting from within for sentemental reasons instead of recruiting the best… a sense of arrogance based on years of success, prevents a team from progressing.
When Ferguson first came to United, he recognised the potential, and set about building the foundations of the United that has ruled for near enough 20 years… but has he lost sight of what it takes to maintain the standards he set?
Could it be that United needs a new tyrant?… someone to come in and clear out all the dead wood… and not just the players, but the trainers, coaches, scouts, etc, that may have become too comfortable in their positions.
The problem, is two fold… the Glazers… I needn’t say more… and the modern games impatience with managers… to create the dynasty that Ferguson built takes stability… long term planning… is it possible to replace Ferguson with another man of similar stamina, and would United and its fans have the fortitude to give him the time it might take?
“Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don’t need badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and ching’ tu madre! Come out from that shit-hole of yours. I have to speak to you.”
You could well be right, I think Jose will be ready season after next when he sorts RM and Barca have an off season. He will gladly bin off the likes of Bebe and Obertan if necessary.
In the meantime we will have to just win ugly, which might set us up well for Jose! At the end of the day we are favourites for the PL, and Chel/Spurs/Lpool are out of the FA Cup. City looking a decent bet for that though, with Arse for the Carling Cup and Barca for the CL despite their 2-1 loss in the 1st leg.
sweet pea looked like he had never played for united today – he is a fantastic player to come on as a sub but really not the same impact when he starts
wank
the future looks bright……..
ffs
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/feb/19/ravel-morrison-manchester-united
talented and yet fucking clueless fucked up moron
is that what you are proposing to do now?
Bollocks… he didn’t get one decent ball to work with… not one.
He’s a striker, and I think he’s going to be a cracker… he’s not great running with the ball, but he’s got a great first touch, and great instincts around the goal… he won’t be a great all round player, but he’ll score shit loads of goals, as long as he gets the service.
Gone are the days when he would have shipped out players like O’Shea, Fletcher, Gibson and Carrick. This is the same man who got rid of Kanchelskis and Ince who were top quality players when they left. He’s just not ruthless anymore.
The longer this goes on, the harder the task of rebuilding becomes.
But then there’s the task of finding someone who will be immediately available when Fergie goes and is a proven winner. How many of those are around?
actually he did have 2 good chances which he would normally take but looked unsure of himself today
i agree he got fuck all service but what do you expect when you have shrek along side him thru out the 2nd half
im praying that some rich camel shagging, sheep bumming, oil lubricating cocks from the middle east take over and pump some solid money into united – get rid of the dross and bring some quality in
how many abject players have we witnessed in the recent past in a red shirt?
“But then there’s the task of finding someone who will be immediately available when Fergie goes and is a proven winner. How many of those are around?”
I still think Moyes is the man… he’s working with limited resources at Everton, and I think he does very well with what little he’s got… plus, he finds some crackin young players, Rooney, Coleman, Rodwell… he’s a man of principal, and he’s a long term option… give him the job, give him the power to rebuild United his way… and he’ll give United at least 10/15 years… and I have no doubt at all that he’d be successful.
“Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don’t need badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and ching’ tu madre! Come out from that shit-hole of yours. I have to speak to you.”
alf
we can but dream…..
Hernandez is better playing with another striker in 4-4-2 or at least a 4-4-1-1. In terms of an impact sub he is up there with the best.
Up front on his own flanked by Bebe and Obertan isn’t going to bring the best out of him. Any striker can isolated if they get no service.
In the midst of the poor buy of Bebe, you can say they definitely hit with Hernandez and Smalling. Obertan was 3 mill so not much to lose, Owen on a free the same, Lindegaard for 3.5 mill the same.
Valencia has been a good addition, and hopefully can help us with the league push especially.
Thought Lindegaard has looked very solid in the 2 games he has played, won’t be a regular starter but a sound back up who won’t be a distraction.
Ffs we all know The Obertron and Gibson are shitful why worry when we’ve got players like Pogba and, should he keep his life in order, Morrison coming through. Pogba in particular looks the biz. The aforementioned cunts, namely mssrs Gibshite and Losertan are perhaps shinning examples that Ferguson isnt allowed to spend rather than an indication SAF is finished. Fuck knows what has happened to Carrick though….
Stephen Hawking would have been better today than Bebollocks.
Ravel Morrison is an interesting character:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/feb/19/ravel-morrison-manchester-united
Name that ‘world class potential’ second team then.
Ferguson’s comments today were that Crawley deserved a replay. At least he was being honest but I did not agree with him when he went on to say that the players did not understand the importance of playing in the FA Cup. What he should have said to his players that they are out there in a Man United shirt and they need to represent, show their heart and spirit for the club. If they are not going to give 100% for their club, just leave and go put on another shirt. I agree with Afonso that Fergie has been there too long now. No disrespect to SAF but I have seen some strange team selections this season. Fortunately, the team have managed to pull of a win and the team is at the top of the league. I don’t know about you guys but I feel that Fergie, if he wins the premier division, he will retire this summer. I believe this is why he offered Giggs and Scholes new contracts to stay on another year. I may be wrong but he may not be buying any new players, he would leave that for the new manager to buy the players. A new manager will be looking to make his own changes to the team. We will see.
that was fucking dire. i fell asleep towards the end. i can’t see how bebe will ever make it. the guy just hits blind cross after blind cross to the centre.
obertan still looks like he’s got potential, but he goes from brilliant to shit in the blink of an eye.
i have no fucking clue what we’re going to do with this massive squad we’ve got. always felt that we were getting in too many above average youngsters who probably wouldn’t make it.
Only saw the reports from the match on the Beeb and according to them Crawley were the better team for at least the last half an hour, fine there have always been the giant killers in the competition but normally a team of the supposed quality of United should breeze a game like this.
Lets just hope that they are taking note of how some people play regardless of chances given and sort it and that we get that fucking 19th Title before we regress to far back.
agree try and bag 19 and then turn into bolton.
correct me if I’m wrong but was joey deacon playing for us yesterday?
After this showing we really do need to give our own youth products more of a chance in the first team. Surely Fergie can see that Welbeck and Cleverley are better players than Bebe and Obertan??
What is the point in spending 10 mill on players like that when he claims he has no money or there is no value in the market.
If we are going to take a punt on a foreign youngster we might as well go down the Pogba, Macheda, Da Silva style route. At least then any problems with technique and attitude can be addressed early.
Who ever OK’d the Bebe deal should be sacked!!
aye he was disgraceful, the touch of a rapist. no ideas except blsast the ball across the box.
Drisgraceful is overused ffs. Make us sound like a parody of Rant
They did enough. Had they have scored, they would have done more
well i see there are more post match comments than during the game
anyway enuf said
1/4 final draw about to take place…..
home draw would be nice……..
the arse at home – hmmmmmmmmmmm
SAF better wake up and start getting a decent team out against the arse – any similar team sheet to yesterday and arse will tear us a new hole
he did look fucked after 60 mins though
i just can’t see him becoming a player – unless saf plays him as an out and out attacker since he is a big lad with a decent shot – still reckon saf got bummed in this deal
I have hardly missed a home match in the last 40 years but this was the pits. Only three positives -the twins & Chris Smalling, who looks the genuine article. Wes Brown has not been treated well.
Bebe is the worst player I have ever seen pull on the shirt -by a big margin. Nice to find a bit of irony, ‘pace’ & ‘strength’ on the site. Overtan has pace & a trick but a brain the size of a pea; he has not improved. Despite what a lot of you lot would like to believe Hernandez is a long way from the finished article.
SAF has turned into a big, old, cudly softy. If he really does believe that Gibson, Carrick, Bebe & O’Shea are the future of the club it is time to move on. Anderson is living on borrowed time too. Couldn’t agree more about Wenger & the Arsenal squad.
He has the potential to be a top player, it’s just a shame he’s a total bellend
At 18 it’s time to see what he can do in the first team
But he sounds like the kind of wanker who, once training with the first team, will let the fame go to his head. And if he continues to be a dickhead then Fergie won’t play him, and he won’t become a top player
anyone remember kieron richardson?
Taggart fucked 10m on a useless hobo and there is no value in the market?!
In
Indeed! No value in paying £25 million for Tevez, yet a fuckin yard dog from the bar codes fetches £35 million? . For me, we should get this 19th title, and hopefully Fungus should pack in gracefully. “New broom sweeps clean” as they say!
Welcome Jose, your audience awaits you.
Don’t kiss your granny when she’s shaving!
The cunt could have invested that 10m in VDS’ replacement instead he spent it on a shit bob marley x-factor look alike and we already have that clown andershite
Isn’t it an issue of wages though. Bebe is costing us fuck all on NMW, while Ozil and Van Der Vart would have demanded top wages of £80/90/100 grand a week
With Nev, Van Der Sar and probably Scholes retiring it will free up a lot of money to bring in new, top quality players and pay them the wages they demand
The wage bill currently takes up 46% of our turnover, which is pretty fucking healthy when you compare it to Chelsea’s 82% and City’s 106%
The Glazers won’t want it taking up more than 50%, which coicides with Fergie saying over & over that we will spend big on top players to replace the old guard – because its possible to pay them top wages
I have to disagree with a few people here. I have a lot of sympathy for most of the players yesterday. It is grossly unfair for players not to play regularly, and then they are thrown together for important cup matches absolutely irrelevant the opposition. Those players were on a hiding to nothing. I have no doubt that Obertan is talented enough. The lad is quick, can dribble as he has really quick feet and can shoot! He needs to play regularly. Has to. Why does Brown not play some more?
I think we are too hard on our squad players. Needlessly too. We won. We are through to the quarters. Did we ask them to do more than that? I certainly did not. Bebe is a centre forward and should end up there. He is a trier though. He did not hide.
Jermaine Pennant was apparently “the next big thing too…
Bebe is a trier, has balls too and we all know he’s raw and needs 2-3 years so why get on his back? Obertan is uncoordinated and reminds me of a foal, looks like he’s going to trip over all the time
He really is a fuckin cluebag too….lol out brain size of pea comment
No one in his right mind spends 7 million for a player that he has never seen play before. SAF had never even heard of Bebe. Last comment SAF made was that they had solved the position for Bebe and that was, he will play as a striker. I was surprised to see him playing right wing. Would have played Obertan on the right and Giggs on the left. But Obertan is not of United quality either.
You just don’t pay 7 million for a player and then have to groom him for two years! Rubbish! Look how well 7 million pound Van de Vaart is doing.
It is truly bizarre… I’ve never heard of such a strange signing before… Ferguson has been banging the “no-value” drum for 3 years now… even though he was given £80 million,(supposedly), for Ronaldo,(why value is “so” important, when you’ve got that kind of cash to spend)… anyway, 3 years, “no-value”, and he pisses £7 mill on a mystery player… I’ve got to believe there is more to that signing than we’ve been told… were we conned?… was this signing a prerequisite to something else? or was it just Ferguson givin it the bigg’n after one-too-many Glenfiddichs’, with his mates, and making some daft bet… “I can turn any player into a world beater”, cause I’m “The Gaffer”…
the problem is that you bring in bebongo and obertwat and then waht happens to the real homegrown “youth”
fergus struck gold with Ronaldo and he thinks he can do the same with any twat who can dribble
Bebe and Obertan will have to do what every other young player has to do – go out on loan to get game time. They rarely play in the reserves, which is pretty a 3rd XI.
After that we might be able to see what level they are at – probably championship. Then we sell to get our money back at least. That is what we will be doing with MB Diouf – another pointless transfer. He will be playing at some random Lancashire club permanently from next season.
With regards to VDV, maybe Fergie was put off Dutch outfielders after the Stam and RVN big time charlie business. VDV has the show biz life off the pitch too. The decision not to sign him can’t be on footballing grounds.
bebongo
doofus
oberfanny
gibcunt
carprick
o’shite
anderfuck
bollocktov
ffs anyone would think we hate the club and its players with pet names like those above
you forgot PIG
o’ shea is a proper squad player and more of an asset than most people give him credit for
he has done so much more than that sack of shit carrick these past 2 seasons and whilst his talents are limited, he doesn’t ponce around like anderfucker and gibcunt
