Hello fellas we're back!
Thoughts of Our Red Army the 4th with SEA from www.stretfordendarising.com

Hope you all enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

G ( gravedigga ): Hi mate, you're good, eh?

SEA: I’m good, cheers mate. I’m looking forward to the return of Premier League football after the international break. Weekends are just not the same without United. Hope you are all well at United Indonesia?

G: How old were you when u decide to love football mate?

SEA: I’m struggling to think of an exact age. I became a United fan around 1985/86, but I was never a huge fan - I preferred playing rather than watching/supporting a team. My love for United started to grow a couple years later when I began to understand football.

G: Football is very popular in your country. I can see football is a religion in England. Can you tell me why you guys love football so much?

SEA: Speaking from my own experience my love for football began from playing with mates at school, on the streets or in the local park. I pestered my mother into bringing me to school early so I could play football before lessons started. Once school had finished I ran home so I could play football again - before being dragged in for my tea. I would play inside my parent’s home, but the odd smashed ornament soon put an end to that.

G: Brits play football since they were a kid, they love football as a religion, many talented players and you have the best league IMO, but what happened with England national team? What’s wrong with the team?

SEA: The players, in my opinion are overhyped in the English media . Many would have selected the squad that travelled to South Africa and the team that faced Germany. However, the very same players have been selected for the past five-ten years by various managers and produced similar results. Capello deserves criticism, but not the level directed towards him.

G: You're a United season ticket holder, which side is your seat? Stretford End?

SEA: Unfortunately not. My seat is opposite the Stretford End. The atmosphere can be quiet for the lesser games where my seat is. I do receive the odd look when I let rip with “Paul Scholes, he score goals”. Perhaps the fact I sound like I’m strangling a cat when singing is the reason... I’m not the greatest ha ha

G: A routine question how long have you become a United fan? Your first match? and the first player u like?

SEA: I’ve been a fan for over twenty years now. My first game was the final league match of the 1989-90 season against Charlton Athletic. Remember little about the game – the one thing I do remember is a bloke stood behind me with a tattoo on his arm. I’d never seen a tattoo before and was amazed. I can still picture the scene now. I must have had a sheltered up bringing ha ha. My favourite player? Giggs was probably my first favourite player – there was plenty of buzz surrounding him - with me being young and impressionable I therefore liked him. However, Scholes is my all time favourite United player.

G: Can you explain why a Manc choose to follow United instead of City?

SEA: For me personally, when I was younger I lived within two-three miles of Old Trafford and my best mate at school was a United fan so I followed suit. My old man (father) is more of a rugby man so had little influence from him. He has a soft spot for City and United – the man is weird.

G: Whats you thought about our record loss? What will happen to our club?

SEA: From the reading I’ve done mainly andersred blog and other sources (as they have a fair better understanding than I do) the results are better than expected. The club appears to be well run and is making profits, which is good considering the recent recession. The £83m loss is apparently comprised of one offs. Don’t quote me on this though as I’m not 100% sure. The PIKs have not been touched, which has come as a surprise. The bottom line is we wouldn’t have money worries if not for the Glazer Family – in my opinion money is being wasted.


G: There will be an organised march before the Spurs game on Saturday October 30th, where supporters will make their way to OT. Are you in mate?

SEA: Yeah, I’ll be there. The streets of Manchester will be heaving - should be good - plenty of singing etc.

G: We have West Brom at home this weekend. The team that battered Arsenal at Emirates and netted 3 goals. Your prediction?

SEA: Whenever we play at home I’m confident of victory and Saturday is no different. If the game was at The Hawthorns I’d be slightly more concerned, well perhaps more than just slightly... West Brom have impressed so far – they have played several tough fixtures but find themselves sitting pretty in sixth - they will be confident. The fixture will be tough, but I feel we will run out 3-0 winners.

G: Our defence are not at the best level atm. Jonny looked not ready to play week in - week out in Prem, I didnt see Pat's smile and passion like seasons before, Rio back to injury and this will be Gaz last season. Do we need another signing in January? if yes then who's the best for us?

SEA: Think we’ll be okay defensively – hopefully the International break has benefitted Evra and touch wood Rio remains fit. Midfield is a concern, especially for away fixtures. Do we need another signing in January? Midfield is an area which may be strengthened – recent talk has been of Defour. Personally, I’d like to see the likes of Anderson and Cleverley given an opportunity. I’m a big Carrick fan and feel his contribution in recent success has been undervalued - hopefully he can rediscover his form.


G: Thanks for the time and the Old Trafford photos you've sent to me. We all appreciate it mate.

SEA: You’re most welcome. I’m pleased everyone at United Indonesia enjoyed the photos.
