DEAR HOLLYWOOD

I  recently went to see Captain America at the cinema and the weak ending aside, I have a very serious complaint.






Really? Like seriously? Those abs? Those man nipples? Those arms? That deep voice? That's what you're throwing at the female population?

Choices

"Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading."



"We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties."



"Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking."
"God nowhere tells us to give up things for the sake of giving them up. He tells us to give them up for the sake of the only thing worth having--viz., life with Himself. It is a question of loosening the bonds that hinder the life..."

Why we don't call our club as MANU!

Man .U. is not a term United fans refer to themselves as. The term is only used by other supporters as a complete and utter insult to our club. The "u" is meant to be "you" by the rival fans.

An early example of its usage is this chant by West Brom fans: "Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in his grave, man you are manure- rotting in your grave". The origin of "Man .u." is a song to insult the dead Duncan Edwards.

Liverpool and Leeds fans copied this with their own man you /u versions to insult all of the lads who died at munich.

"Man .U. Man .U. went on a plane Man .U. Man .U. never came back again"

and..

"Man .U. Never Intended Coming Home" (if you combine the first letter of each word you get the word "munich").

I hope this makes it clearer that saying man .u. is an insult, particularly to the older supporters and to see United fans using it now is shameful. I hope a few might read this, understand and spread the word.

R.I.P! :(

what a terrible week it has been! first the bombing at Delhi High Court which left 11 dead and 76 injured. The blast was soon followed by a 6.6 magnitude earth quake!
as i woke up on 8th, September the day after my birthday, i was left stunned when i heard that a plane carrying Lokomotiv Yaroslavl hockey team crashed near the banks of Volga, killing the entire squad leaving behind Alexander Galimov as a sole survivor of the horrible crash. Galimov is in a critical position after suffering 90 % burns.

Well, this incident brings back the memories of Munich 1958, where United's famed "Busby Babes" met with a similar fate, when the flight carrying the players couldn't take off properly off an icy Munich air strip. As soon as the news of Yaroslavl Crash reached United, Old Trafford chief execeutive  David Gill offered his solidarity to the families of the lost ones and United have written to Lokomotiv Yaroslavl to offer support and sympathy to the club!

 RIP to the players and staff who have lost their lives in this tragedy!
