My bias kicking in, hate when Man utd fans refer to them as such...lol.
Anyway, you have nothing to worry about and the game will be replayed ad nauseum as well, so if you have something to do when its played live, don't worry, Sunday or Monday morning (depending on whether its a Saturday or Sunday game), will be shown the next day in its entirety and probably the whole week several times.


I especially hate when Man U. fans or commentators describe Man u. as 'The Reds'. They are not 'The Reds'. Liverpool are 'The Reds'. Man U are 'The Red Devils'.


I wonder, correlation between Man U being the Red Devils, and SK team being called the same. Tribute, copy, or odd coincidence?

your take eamo?

Park ji sung wasn't playing for Man U. when the Korean fans adopted that nickname......so I'm not sure.

One of my favorite football songs (to the tune of Glory, Glory Hallelujah):

"Man United went to Italy to see the Pope, Man United went to Italy to see the Pope, Man United went to Italy to see the Pope and this is what he saaiiiidd "who the f*ck is Man United? Who the f*ck is Man United?...."

lol....love it. Hate Man City's money but given a lesser of two evils, I'll take them over Man Utd for the title this season.

Anyway, to the OP, just having a lil fun. as you read, plenty of football, moreso than you get in England free on tv. Also, all the major CL games as well.

OP. Where do you live? I'd highly recommend supporting your local side in Korea. That;s if there is one. I supported my local side when I was in Ansan. It wasn't the greatest thing (at least compared to the EPL, but it was fun!

The thing I love is all me and all my friends are doing fantasy so to the locals we cheer at seemingly strange times.

Take for example:
Man City-Man U game

Balotelli scores two. We curse that it wasn't Aguero (for some)
Aguero Scores. Cheers and groans.
Fletcher scores to break up Hart & Kompany's clean sheet. Cheers from us who don't have Hart & Kompany.
Silva scores- brings the house down.

The ajumma watching the thing with us was absolutely mystified.

Yes, Red Devils, but we shout come on you reds, that's 360 million of us worldwide, I don't know one who shouts 'red devils'!!!! Typical bitter scouser.


For those who want to pay tribute to the greatest manager that is Alex Ferguson go to this link http://www.saf25.com/

We truly knocked the scousers off their perch!!! Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Fixed it for you. It doesn't scan the other way

I've always liked this one to the tune of Lord of the dance. Dead classy and shows what concept the average Man U fan has of Korea Laughing

Park, Park, wherever you may be. You eat dogs in your own country
But it could be worse, you could be a scouse. Eating rats in your council house

what channel has English commentary? Star sports is always a day late on the games. Usually if I want English commentary I just stream the matches.

Star Sports has English commentary but the picture is bad though improved in recent years. SBS ESPN will have the cream of the crop games in HD.

Watch them on streams if you don't mind staying up late

Unbeaten top 3 club Newcastle United are always a good bet

Those of us who have been riding the Danny Simpson/Krul/Taylor(s) fantasy wave can agree...to say nothing of Demba Ba...and the greatest midfielder ever, Mr. 4.0 million - Shane Ferguson.
