The ones I know are firmly in b. PR crisis, as I said.

No, we're probably c): Behind whatever the player wants to do and will hope our team can bounce back from this and learn from it.

Sorry if it's not the answer you were after.

I am behind Manchester United the football club, no one person is greater than the club itself, not Keane or even Sir Alex Ferguson.

Troublesome ? You only have to looke here to see that his record over the years is impeccable

He was a great team leader on the pitch, even though his reputation sometimes preceded him.

Obviously the manner of his departure is open to speculation from the media and such like, a player of his age with such a long service would normally see out their contract, but on this ocassion, the media have probably got the reasons about right.
He is 35 next birthday and was probably on his way out of the door anyway.
The club will move on from this as will the fans given time, although I think his name will be chanted on the terraces for many matches to come.

The name of Roy Keane will be written in the history of the club as one of the legends.

Time to move on methinks.

could more be just to put his name back on the market so people know he is available

Yeah a good win, and a nice result for us

Shame that Trundles other goal was disallowed. What happens when the assitant ref's come from the west country I suppose

abit worried about tonights game against Villareal tonight as Fergie said we don't have alot of experience in the squad and we need a win.. in the old days we'd just through caution to the wind and get 3 goals in the first half but now Queiroz is there i can't see us doing that and we never as good trying to hold on or defend

I am a bit concerned also, not only about the match, but whether it's going to be on or not, forecast says Manchester is foggy.

Off to Old Trafford, catchya later

well it was on, and was poor game we showed some quality football in patches. at points i thought ruud was a little of pace compared to saturday. we could do with some variety up front, saha even though i dont rate him 12m!!! comin back is some sort of boost means we can chop n change the attack abit, as sometimes ruud lacks a bit of pace to get onto a ball. were saha could latch onto it in no time.

still hoping n prayin ballack comes. but just don't c it.
