Nemanja Vidic - The First Rat To Desert The Sinking Ship?

[davetuc]

Just thought I'd put it out there........................

[jd_1984]

He has honoured his contract and wont be renewing.
Could be other reasons for wanting to leave the UK. But I dont think he will have any regrets on current form of the team. They need a big overhaul and possibly a few seasons of trial and error to find the right formula.

I don't think it his his choice.

[DrFilth]

from the telegraph

> Vidic said. “My time at this great club will always rank as the best years of my career.

“I never could have imagined winning 15 trophies and I will certainly never forget that fantastic night in Moscow [Champions League victory in 2008], memories that will live with me and the fans forever.

“However, I have decided that I will move on at the end of this season. I want to challenge myself again and try to make the best of myself in the coming years.

"I’m not considering staying in England as the only club I ever wanted to play for here is Manchester United and I was lucky enough to be part of this club for so many years. I’ve got a few options to move on and I will choose the right one for me and for my family.

'The First Rat To Desert The Sinking Ship?'

No, that was Graham Swann

[Hopkirk]

Yes, Graham was shocking for Man Utd wasn't he?

[davetuc]

Thanks for all that info, Dr Filth, very informative! But football existed before 1992 you know. Could you do me the list from 1900?

[DrFilth]

just doing the premiership was you around in 1900

[berniecuddles]

thought it was van persie leaving arsenal!

[davetuc]

Dr Filth, obviously I wasn't around in 1900, but does that mean it doesn't exist. You are a typical example of the modern plastic fan. Thinks everything started in 1992 with Sky and all the hype. By the way it's "were" you around in 1900, not "was". Although I suppose that's the language of 15 year olds!

[craft1948]

^ ooh hissy pedantism.

[davetuc]

craft, we have to correct these kids, otherwise they'll never learn!

[DrFilth]

dave i was born right near the old maine road ground then moved just over the border into droylsden

city then moved up to the council stadium which is approx 1 1/2 miles from my house

please explain how i am a plastic manc

[davetuc]

Because, like a lot of modern football fans, you believe football started in 1992 when your dad bought you a satellite dish.

[DrFilth]

dave i know you are an expert and no way would i ever think that you are a bad loser but may i point out that for the first 35 years of my life i lived very close to the old maine road ground then moved up to droylsden

i went to old trafford before the stretford end had a roof and on the kippax before that had a roof

i think i have seen arsenal play live football more times than you from what you post

have not watched tv for around 4 years

still think i am a plastic manc

[davetuc]

I doubt very much that you've seen Arsenal play live more than me. I apologise for the age miscalculation, it was just the impression I got from your posts.
