Manchester United FC - Welcome to the theatre of dreams!

[bitemebiiitch]

Manchester United is an English professional football club, based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, that plays in the Premier League. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.

In 1968, under the management of Matt Busby, Manchester United was the first English football club to win the European Cup, ten years after the Munich air disaster that claimed the lives of eight players. The current manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has won 37 major honours since he took over in November 1986.

Manchester United has won the most titles in English football, with 53 domestic trophies, comprising a record 19 league titles, a record 11 FA Cups, four League Cups and 19 FA Charity/Community Shields. The club has also been successful globally, winning seven international titles: three European Cups, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup. In 1998–99, the club won a "Treble" of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, an unprecedented feat for an English club.

Manchester United is one of the wealthiest and most widely supported football teams in the world. As of July 2011, the club is number one in Forbes magazine's annual ranking of the world's 50 most valuable sports teams, valued at $1.86 billion. After being floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1991, the club was purchased by Malcolm Glazer in May 2005 in a deal valuing the club at almost £800 million.

[seether05]

good job on the OT.
Ilang post pa kaya bago mapuno yung sa Arsenal para magawan ko din ng ganito.

[bitemebiiitch]

Thanks man! Actually I just followed the format of the Liverpool thread, I thought that's a good way to start team threads - put everything in there for the prospective supporters to see!

Regarding Arsenal's thread, I think kaisermarc created the thread a year ago, so post away till you reach 5000 so you could create a new one!

[TheYoungblood]

Congrats to the new thread. The first thread spanned 4 years with 3 Premierships, 2 League Cups, 4 Community Shields and a Champions League trophy on hand. GGMU!

[tellracs_eiram]

only a few clubs can claim history so rich as this...fans of small clubs can only watch and be green with envy.



Success is the only history acceptable. GGMU!

Thanks Phillo for the correction. Akala ko 5:30pm kickoff.
Yup big matches have early kickoff ls as part of the Asian tv coverage deals. Hinde lahat ng big matches but several matches ganun na.

we only acquired 2 points in 2 UCL fixtures, behind Basel and Benfica on the present group stage, and held to a draw in our fortress by Basel (who?), so i think SAF will not drop the grade, as he just have said there will be no complacency like we did last time against the Swiss champions, we usually play relax when we dont rate our opponent, hoping it would be different scenario tonight
