Hello everyone and my fellow United Fans'. I jus joined the site a few days ago. Well 2 days to be precise. I love the Private Stream for Gold Members so I got a Gold membership done! :-) Anyways, coming to the part where I introduce Myself. I'm Khalid. I've supported United since.. the early times of FIFA.. I think it has been almost 10 years now.. Yep' precisely. I love everything about United' except for the times when Sir Alex Ferguson makes wrong decisions, regarding the players He's selling, the line-up.. I was really upset when He sold Ruud Van Nistelroy. I mean seriously, see his goals!? would you sell that caliber of a player? Then.. Then at times He makes the worse of the line-ups lol.. which we've mostly lost :-P .. Not that I'm wrong. Anyways, it has been an emotional filled journey to be a fan of United. I remember the Citeh' derby this season.. . I was at a Pub, and when Owen scored the winner.. I screamed LOL .. and I shouted at the Citeh' fans.. orderin them to go back to where they belong, EASTLAND ! :-D It wos great. Fascinatin!! Love United for Life!

How immense has this guy been for us? Is he probably the first name on the team sheet for you along with Wazza right now?
