THE OLD TRAFFORD IS OUR HOME
Old Trafford is the proud home of Manchester United FC, located in the borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester.
It has been the club's permanent home since 1910 and currently boasts an all-seater capacity of 76,400 - the biggest club stadium in the United Kingdom. This followed recent ground development to the quadrant areas of the ground, filling in both corners of the North Stand to add an additional 9,000 seats.
Sir Bobby Charlton, former club striker and current club director, nicknamed the ground "The Theatre of Dreams".

Good to know Ronaldos goal were his 100th and 101st goals in a united shirt.
Thats a good return for a midfielder.
The guy will tear the record books to shreds in no time if he keeps his game up.

The guy will tear the record books to shreds in no time if he keeps his game up.
He is the best player in the league. 8 goals, 5 assists in 7 starts. As at last night, he has got the highest shots on target despite missing a full month in the premiership. He has been the top shooter for the past 3 seasons. |

I am super excited that we won by such a large goal difference. 5-0 is not an easy thing to accomplish. However thanks to our beautiful rivals, they have given A. villa false confidence and if Man U draws with them next week, I will deal with Arsenal in my own way. Ronaldo spent the night with Torres, While fergie was with Benitez doing you know what! You better get lost now before I curse chelsea. |

@ Criz & Debo Abeg make una stop rough play with this prayer thing for Ronaldo o. At least the guy hasn't showed signs of being fickle though I concur he can do better. Criz, I disagree with that your option. Rev. King's measures are too extreme. We don't want to lose Ronaldo to a fire disaster now, do we? . King should be operating with a fire brigade on standby. So let Debo keep the number for his team . @ Emp Yes, Anderson needs Glucose  . I hope you sent one carton with Lucozade immediately after you finished that post Gulcose ko, Agunmu ni |
