Honestly, I am doing everything I can here. I have stopped reading the newspapers, a brick has been thrown through the screen of the TV and I have managed to block out all radio broadcasts to my house. But somehow this word ‘quintuple’ keeps coming back into my consciousness.

It is not going to stop. With performances like this one we are doomed to the build up for this outrageous trophy bid.

If you had asked any normal red what they wanted for this season they would have replied, quite simply, for that 18th league title and some way to erase the memory of Ronaldo’s antics during the summer. Our odds with betfair for the league title are now 1/33, which is utterly absurd, and some bright spark has even paid out on us collecting the domestic treble. How the hell do you keep calm in the middle of all this lunacy?

United are starting to resemble Alexander the Great’s lustful quest for power across the entire known world. Famously, after his billionth superb military victory, ‘big Al’ (as his generals liked to call him) “wept, for he had no more worlds to conquer.” Well diddums. Our own Alex (Sir, as his generals like to call him) does not seem on the verge of tears. He has, however, revealed something that has not been in his repertoire previously. Fear. What is Ferguson sacred of? Is it Chelsea under Hiddink? Barcelona’s goal machine? Sneaky Mourinho’s master-plan for Old Trafford?

Nope, none of the above. Ferguson is afraid of retiring. It is unlikely the rest of the management fraternity looks upon this with any kind of triumphant joy. I can see visions of heavyweight boxers punching long dead opponents hours after the bell has been rung before shrugging their shoulders and saying with tearful eyes “I’m sorry, I’m scared to stop hitting you.” Fergie is indeed a psychopath, but he is our psychopath and we love him. He is obviously so addicted to the adrenalin of winning that he can no longer stop. Perhaps if he ever does retire he could co-star with Jason Statham in Crank 2, the sequel to the movie where our hero had to keep his heart rate above a certain level to stay alive.

With the world gone quintuple mad, cats and dogs living together, oceans boiling, mountains crumbling and a decent president in the White House perhaps we do have a place for this United juggernaut. It will hurt me later, I am sure it will but I give in. Okay, the quin-flipping-tuple is on!

Come on, have some confidence. Yes, in football anything can happen, the possible slip-up against Milan as well. But, with the form United are in, the chances of progressing are very high.

Goodday to all red devils die hard fans all around the world.Day by day our squad getting spread all over eroupe conquering fotball planet by wining games and qualified all the competition they have played.Another marvellous and superb brilliant game from Tevez(the one only successful Argentine in Man Utd,England) and one survival Ji-Sung Park(from Asia) with super skill goal with left 7mins from time.Seems I'm from South East Asia(Malaysia),proud to talk about Ji-Sung Park at this moment.Now I'm countdown the bigger day of the week(Man Utd vs. Inter Milan) but start to worried since Rio gt ankle injury but still confident with current squad can overcome all kind of situation to win and clich all trophies(so-called "quintuple").BEST WISHES TO MY VERY OWN DEVILS :-)

Posted by Shandar Hasan on 03/08/2009

All these talk of the quintuple have got me thinking. Ahhh the Premier League is in the bag(and could be wrapped up by next week if we beat LiverFools) We have a great chance in the FA Cup and I think we will win it but it will be tough as I think Chelski are a good side, but I am confident that we will win it. The biggest and the hardest challenge of them all is of course is the Champions League. Even if we beat Inter (which we will, and I think we will atleast score 3 goals with Rooney, Ronaldo and Berba scoring) it will still be very hard for us to retain the champions league as Berca and Livefools are very big threats, but still this world is built on hope and I will never give up this hope. Go ManU. Hi to all RedDevils out there. SAF is a Legend

Love this website, love the red devils, love the fact that Man U is gunning for 5, love the caliber of play right now---best in the WORLD, only going to get better. Man U has many fans out here in the Oklahoma dust. World's greatest sports franchise. Rooney will get 2 against Milan and Tevez (yes, because he's on right now) will get 1. It will be a long trip back to Milan.

Well...Premier League is surely ours because Chelsea & Liverpool will make mistakes in their remaining fixtures and concede down the road.As for the two cup ties,win or no win devil's are competitors and we all know that.I don't know whether they will win the the FA cup & the Champ league but I know that they won't let other teams take it from them that easily.I hope they win it all as it would be a very special achievement for all the devil's in this whole wide world.

Advanced congratz my beloved Sir Alex & the Devilz.

AF is ours for ever! Goals from Evra, Vidic, Rooney,and a penalty goal by Ronaldo after Barbatov having been fouled in the box! Who will stop us?

ahhh another weekend ,and another win for the reds,as i read Jose rant, it really dawned on me that what he said, at leats some parts are true
come on really we never thought Liverpool was going to win the prem, we knew that come January we would be back on top, where we belong. As for Inter, they might be the best team in the third best league in the world, but I am sure that dominance in Italy cannot be said for the form in the champions league, so wit all due respect Mr. Special One, come thursday morning you can go back to dominating your league an we will march on to another title .

Posted by Isaac Mpoza on 03/09/2009

To those who have not played United yet, we're coming.To those who have wondered if quintuple is still possible,we have proved to u once more that the strength of our team does not come from the depth of our squad (how abt Liverpool?) but from undying team spirit, hard work and manager's organization.That's the true genius of United,United can make it, and what we achieved in 1999 gives us hope of what we can and must achieve this season.Let us remember, that it is the team that was at the table bottom in the first league 5 games that's leading the table by 7 pts with a game in hand, it's a team that was short of 1 man but went on to win the FIFA club world cup.We were there when Liverpool and chelsea exchanged the top spot,but our winning spirit was not shaken! yes we can. Thank you Reds, may God bless United,may God bless Sir Alex Ferguson!!

'Fully subscribe to League Title no. 18 being a good season..then we started our run; 'Fletcher, Giggsy, Vidic being on some pretty-amazing + consistent form, + our squad players, the "oxygen-tank" Ji-Sung, the brilliant Tevez; *sigh*, it truly is an amazing season we're having (so far)...'Now, closing in on the business end of the season, it's time to roll back to our Treble-winning time a decade back...'even w/form & luck & that Ole Good Feeling cometh the last 15 mins to get us back in the game / seal the points, we (the sane Red Devils) know it's abt taking it one game at a time..'let us survive this onslaught of heavy-fixtures (Inter, Liverfoo,I mean,Pool,the game-in-hand,Everton@FA Cup Semis) then we'll really be in pole position,'w/out a doubt..'a lot of good teams r exiting by round of 16 & we're def got the team that'll be prepared, once they're closer to the Big Cup Final to *god-willing* defend our title..*from one stubborn Capricornian(also 31-12) to Sir Alex, do stay on*..

Fergie is to the management what Pelé or Maradona is to the field. I'm very proud to be a MU Fan since 1995 and Fergie is the main reason for that. I've always trust in his talent. I'll miss him a lot in the Game when he'll retire.This is my tribute to the manager who made my days and improved my interest for the beautiful game.
Red Devils forever!!!!!!!!!! Let's go for 5! We can do it...

Posted by redevil83 on 03/09/2009

I really like the confidence my fellow red devil fans are protruding here. may it all come true! as improbable as it seems, if there's any club that can do it (win the quint) today, its united. but do remember that the match against inter, especially, is not a foregone conclusion. by any means. don't build yourself up so much that it all comes crashing down with one loss. we have experienced some happy moments already this season. hope to see some more! but win or lose against inter, we will stick with united through thick and thin! vamoz you red devils!

Posted by manchesteruntied on 03/10/2009

You wont win either of the two remaining cup competitions that you're in, certainly not the FA cup - it'll mean a lot less to you guys than it will to say Everton or the Arse (if they make it) who have got nothing out of their respective seasons. You'll be lucky to get past what is a strengthened Inter and providing you do, you're looking at the potentially the strongest last 8 that the Champions League has produced in the last 4 or 5 years (admittedly you can count yourself among them). Inter v Barca semi would be a good match, hope you'll tune in.

Is the quintuple possible? It definitely is. But then, when one looks at the last 2 goals that united have let through, one realises that we are men after all. Yes, it's human to err, but puling it off this year will need a Performance of the Century. More than anything, we should keep our minds. No more bloopers like the ones against Blackburn and Newcastle. Concentrate. Keep up the good work.

Posted by owiny morris on 03/10/2009

mourinho itches my ears so much with his words. he needs to respect 'SIR' ALEX for some reasons that he is the grand example of what football should be like.every coach has to admire to be like fergie and that is when football is gonna be football. every move of united against inter will be my heart bit. disprove the words and show them the spirit at old traffod.
am united and united is me. go red angels!!!!

Posted by Raphael Teh on 03/10/2009

"One game at a time, lads"... which is what I would say to SAF and his merry men. The "Quintuple" is what the journos have played up to destabilise (intentionally or otherwise) our beloved United's challenge on all fronts. So stay focussed guys, see off Inter first on Wednesday and then kill off 'Pool's flickering BPL hopes come Saturday. The road to greatness then begins...

Posted by Jasper on 03/10/2009

Alot has been said about the football superpower which makes all their enemies sink and with all that intermilan will sink,with Morrino saying he will lead United,it is aclear sign that he acknowledged the powers in united.To God be the glory we ve Sir Alex,United staff,players,mgt,fans all ready to work for the success.Viva United,may God help us.Amen.

we won FWCC...with Nemanja "The Devil's Wall" Vidic, our heart of defense out...the guy is steel

we won Carling Cup...with 4-1 penalty shoot out...thank's to I-Pod tech

we shall win BPL...with 10 points ahead...chelsea, liverpool, you guys knew you've blown it

we are surely to win the FA...Everton to win? khahaha...Arsenal/Chelsea, start looking for new manager

we will win UCL...Mourinho, what the f are you talking?? i cant understand coz you are talking crap, one after another...i love to watch MU v Chelsea again coz, it is always nice to f someone twice, khahahaha

SAF, u are the greatest football club manager of all time coz...if the team won 2 or maybe 5 seasons in a row...then maybe the team is good (eg chelsea team is good 2004-2005, not mourinho, and arsenal b4)...but you keep MU there in ESPN, Star Sport, MUTV, etc since the 90s till now...if you retire, please dont take mourinho coz that guy got no brain for manners and does not understand this 'beautiful games'

Posted by Nobert Nyandire on 03/10/2009

There are only two teams in England, man U and the rest. Of course Man U is the team to beat and all teams have been dreaming to do so, even though very few have managed, the only worry is Ronald's goal drought in champions league but if he can start on Wednesday with Inter, then definitely they will win the so called "Quintuple" GO GO Go Man U!! you never fail your fans and Long live SAF.

Posted by Shahrokh on 03/10/2009

I think it's not only Sir Alex who's afraid of retiring. All Man United fans, including myself, are afraid of that. Will our favorite team ever have such glorious days after he retires?

Posted by ronald over on 03/10/2009

guys,

all the "nearly impossible"dreams may come reality only if all the Man-U team focus, game per game. Best result will come along when you all strive and even die for victory. Best wishes from eastfar fans.

Posted by Kephers Ouya on 03/10/2009

Man U are at their best right now, the defence is superb, Vidic/Ferdinand Partnership is the best in Europe if not the world, Evans is an able, capable replacement of both. While on the left flank Evra has proven to be the classy commited left back Fergie had faith in. In midfield, various combinations work perfectly - depending on the opposition, Fletcher/Giggsy, Carrick/Giggsy, The former former option for the energy tackling and stopping the opposition play, the later to enable us surge forward due to Giggsy's runs and Carrick's brilliant passes. Alternatively, Anderson or Scholes can come into play, also for the energy/tackling and accurate//timed passes respectively. On the attack, United have the best u get can get all over the world. Ronaldo/Rooney/Barbatov/Ji Sung Park, the combination also depend on the opposition. Italian are generally slow, due to tha nature of their game and their old/experienced defenders habit. can somebody tell me how Inter will cope?

Posted by Goddy ETUK on 03/10/2009

GREAT FANS OF MAN UNITED, lets continue to stand in UNITY, with the a strong faith in GOD our father, that He will continue to guide and lead us to more GLORY and TROPHIES.

For others that are jealous of our achievements, I would advice them to appreciate and respect SAF and all UNITED'S so that GOD can bless them with success as well.

Mounrinho shld better be focus and concentrate than making noise all over the press, "A PEACOCK CAN ONLY BE PROUD WHEN IT HAS FEATHERS".

Well done fellow UNITED fans and friends.

Posted by Ali Hussain on 03/10/2009

ive read all the comments and i can see that most people have written inter off against us. if they score even once, we will be in trouble. but i have faith in the devils. we can easily slot 2 past an already weakened inter defense. i think if we do win the CL this season, it will be because of berba. he has that hunger to do well in the CL, more than any other player in our squad. you can see it on his face. have my fingers crossed for Wednesday night =)

My greatest worry is an insurgent Chelski. They are demonstrating an incredible ability to fight back even from the most hopeless of situations.

I seriously hope that the boys are good to their word not to get carried away with our near-unassailable position. Teams like Chelski have things to prove and they'd be glad to do it against us.

Go Reds! We won't take our foot off the pedal.

Posted by shani on 03/11/2009

I bet on 3-0 thumping of Inter. Not because of United's form but because of Inter. Italian Serie A is no match for English Premiere League. As much as I hate to associate, but Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are probably the biggest teams in europe alongside Barcelona. United is just at the top of pack. But football is uncertain, best teams can have bad days and lose on away goal rules. But I am hopeful since Mourinho bullshits are too much to take. I loved it a couple of weeks back when Mourinho apologized to Inter fans for toothless performance against the Champions. That was a pure one sided match and if United go out with away goal rules, that will be the saddest part of all. Since Mourinho somehow admits United are the best team in the world.I would rather see United playing with Tevez/Rooney upfront, with Ronaldo and Park in the flanks, with carrick and Giggs as generals. Defense will be best if rio can make it. Whatever the result may be, i will stick with united that i can tell

Take it or leave it, Man utd are d best in europe. it wont be easy (Quint) though but the "rest" must be ready for the big fight, though 4 most of them once in a life time...its the spirit. the beginning of the season was rouhg as usual but we fought back 2 retain our dignity..best wishes against inter..teach them a lesson they will always leave to remember.....

Quintuple possible? I don't think its impossible. Not with the way United is playing at the moment. I have been watching united in action for as long as i started watching football back in 1996. 14 years on a roll, this United side is 10 times better than treble winning side of 1999. That i can tell for sure. This team has so much energy and spirit behind its every game. John Terry just gave the world football to united. That one penalty miss will remain in the history pages for years to come when we look back to older days decades from now how powerful the Red Devils went from there onward, making them not only the biggest club with approximately 300,000,000 fans all over the world, but the most successful club in the 21st century. Thank you Sir Alex. For giving us the opportunity to support the path towards greatness. Thank you Manchester United. Thank you United Fans.

Indeed, Manchester United is a soccer giant. I hopeful Man. United will cause a disaster to Inter Milan tonight at the Old Trafford. I pray that Christiano Ronaldo will start score his first goal in the champions league against Inter tonight. To conclude, I say bravo, go, United, go all the way to the first place (lifting the UCL trophy this season.

Thanks to all Man. United fans around the world. I love you all.

United, I am proud of you.

Sir Alex is really a hero. at this mimoent is about a decade since he did won three major trophies, this is the year that shall remain in the memories of not only lovers of united but the entire world at large.
based on the fact that he is in the verge of winning more than he did in 1999... already he has one in the 'bag'and surely with the strike force of Rooney, Berba and Tevez no team has a solid defence to prevent United in achieving his aims... Giggs is really a hero, a man whom every player shoul emulate for his tactics, experience and patience... he deserve a special reward from the world of sports for he has set a record that might not be esily broken by any other player...
victory is all at the site of united...

We took Inter apart in Milan and I hope we do not live to regret not scoring that night. But with Rooney back in the side, and an attacking mentality, I am sure we will score. Not maybe an extravagant 4, but a 2. The tie however, depends hugely on Ferdinand and Vidic. If they can put up an above average performance, and manage a clean sheet, that's it. Good Bye Inter. See you next year. But score, we will. I hope we thulp them.

I am a MAN UTD FAN . I have been watching their performance from singapore . Just look at the way man utd is playing this last third of the season . the calibre is so powerful and they have great movements in the pitch to keep possesion of the ball . previous face-off with inter , man utd dominated , though at away in san siro . luck is with inter , and man utd cant score . But thats their day , and man utd's day will come . I believe , manchester united will lift 5 trophies in season 08/09 .

Manchester United can sail through tonight.I think that the only thing scary about tonight's opposition is their manager who has a better head to head record against SIR Alex.But thank God the actual action is going to take place between the players and not the managers. I see Inter Milan as just another ordinary English opposition and given United's Blazing form, the Roma demolition scenario could be replicated, who knows, something just has to go wrong for them and united will take advantage. Inter will fall tonight.
Go boys go for the glory write your names is Gold again and let the whole world be at your feet.

Even as an ardent Man Utd fan, i cant but help wonder why this is coming up. I somehow believe it is achievable but unrealistic. United is yet to qualify for the quarters of the champions league, there are still 10 matches or so to be payed in the league and we still have Arsenal, Chelsea et al in the FA Cup. The lead we have in the league is not insurmountable yet so .... lets take each game as it comes. One United

Hey Mark, your humble Irish referee mate here. the only thing stopping the Quin will be bad luck or a bad refereeing decision (hark back to 2004 and a disallowed proper Sholes goal against Porto or what happened against Portsmouth in the FA Cup last year. Another very poor refereeing decision to send off Kusczak, although the penalty decision was correct. I rode a $100 bet into riches in 1999 and I got 40-1 odds on another $500 this time around. This version of Manchester United is the most sublime edition yet. I just wish Roy Keane was still around to be crowned King of England.

Hi MU fans,

It is indeed quite remarkable that your 'quint' dream is still on and all credit goes to Alex F, however due credit (no pun intended) must also be reserved to the enormous 'cash' that has been spent by MU over the decades.

It is also amazing that the Premier League officials, allows your sponsors Air Asia to also be official sponsors for all the referees. Doesn't that bestow conflict of interest ?

However being a Liverpool fan, I must admit being envious of all your succes over the recent years.It is indeed remarkable that after so many decades that you finally have a chance to EQUAL our glorious '18'!

Congratulation$$$ and best wishes to the RED DEVILS

United For The Quintuple!

Posted by Amin Chong on 03/12/2009

I am agreeing with Vit as we are commenting on Thursday eastern time and Man Utd have just won their tie with Inter Milan 2-0. We are still on route to ‘quintuple’ this season. But even Sir Alex feel a bit doubtful that they will achieve it and definitely for a fan, winning the quintuple will definitely will be a dream come true. However in reality dream doesn't always come true and we have to be realistic here. Even if I am one of many big big Man U fans but I still have to say it will be tough and a dream to win the quintuple. So I hope that the players will set their focus on the premiere league title and the champions league. We can spare the FA cup if we need to.

Oh can we PLEASE stop calling it the quintuple? Is winning the Fifa Club World Cup really considered a huge accomplishment? United win two games and that's part of a "quintuple"? Especially against teams that half about 5% of their wage bill?

At this rate I think we have to say that Blackburn have won the "double" for winning two matches in the FA and Carling Cups. Are they on pace for the quadruple? Yes, and they will likely be the first to do it, and deserve all the praise that comes along with it. But let's not keep boosting them up by adding "honors" for pretty meaningless tournaments.

If I don't watch them live, I feel like I have missed something that weekend or weekday. Please guys, do the job again on saturday, I will make a standing ovation all the way from Uganda here.

I agree with Chris about calling it the Quintuple - not sure the CWC really applies. By that measure, I have been wondering why nobody has started saying Sextuple? After all, ManU started the season with silver winning the Community Shield. So winning all the big ones left would give them 6 trophy's for the season only missing out on 1 of the haul on offer.

This quintet-talk is getting a bit much, agreed - 'Fully subscribe to
League Title no. 18 being a good season for us at the beginning of
this season...'then we started our run; 'Fletcher, Giggsy, Vidic
(even Carrick) being on some pretty-amazing + consistent form, + even
the rest of our squad players standing up to be counted, the
"oxygen-tank" Ji-Sung, the brilliant Tevez; *sigh*, it truly is an
amazing season we're having (so far)...'Now, closing in on the
business end of the season, it's time to roll back to a time when we
had a squad that was truly challenging on all fronts...'even w/form &
luck & that Ole Good Feeling cometh the last 15 mins to get us back in
the game / seal the points, we (the sane Red Devils) know it's about
taking it one game at a time...'let us survive this onslaught of
heavy-fixtures (LFC, the game-in-hand, Everton@FA Cup Semis, CL-QF),
only then can we really claim to be in pole position,'w/out a
doubt...

Posted by mnoel on 03/13/2009

'Post CL-Q-Final, this quintet-talk may be just that, talk; but I'll be comforted that even a league-double by the 'Fools (L'pool) later today is no guarantee (forget the bullish Rafa on this one) that we'll lose the league, not with this current crop of form players...*god-willing*, we'll be right up there come May, still challenging on all fronts..'One game at a time..Again, if we need to be reminded, only by sealing the wins in this crucial month (+ Cup Semi - as Everton will be going all out for it) can we really then re-visit this quintet-talk...Getting past Inter is one thing, but it's fair to say this CL Q-Final line-up is def one of the best ever served up...

'United we stand + 'God-speed team; & please Giggsy & Co, let's get some due & chalk up on the European titles too, as well as levelling (& *hopefully* in time, overtaking) the "most-dominant-team" in the league, the Fools@L'pool at 18 league titles...

Posted by Long Standing Man Utd Fan on 03/15/2009

Well well well, I am quite glad that last nights trashing by hated-Liverpool happened. I've been a Man Utd fan since 1991, and have seen complacency take place too many times. After we won the treble, how long did it take for us to realise that the other clubs in EPL and Europe would not "roll over and die" in the subsequent seasons just 'cos we're the "treble champions"?

It's even worse now. We're no where near winning the quintuple. If we're in the FA Cup and ECL FINAL, THEN maybe there's a chance. For the EPL, it's even worse. 4 pts ahead with a game in hand.. is that mathematically 'secure'? Sorry NO!

It's ok for us fans to be optimistic and even a little over-confident. But for even Sir Alex to be complacent? Comeon...our MF vs Pool was terribly weak. It's not Fulham or Blackburn.. this is LIVERPOOL. Where was Giggs and Fletcher?? You HAVE to field the best vs the best teams. Leave Carrick and Anderson and the likes to the smaller teams.

Last night's humbling was very welcome.

The thrashing by Liverpool was timely. Complacency was creeping in. Truth be told, we were lucky to win against Inter. Remember they hit the bar and the post. Then just after Schmeichel said that he like Vidic because he was a no-nonsense defender who just clears the ball, Vidic did NOT clear the ball and that led to the 1st of the 4 Liverpool goals.
At the end of this season, we may yet thank Liverpool for that thrashing.
Let's see if the players respond tonight.

Posted by long time Man Utd fan on 03/22/2009

One shocking fact is that this article, with the tagline "United's results are making it impossible to escape the word 'quintiple',..."

That line and thus the article no longer deserves to be on ESPN Soccernet's page as it's no longer relevant! Unless it's changed to "United's results...'quintiple'...impossible".

We're so bad we can't even beat Fulham, whom we absolutely thrashed in the previous meeting. New villains are arising. I've always said Scholes has become a liability. He should be thanked for his great services, and advised to retire. I think even Gary Neville is still better in his position than Scholes in his. While his passing is certainly still accurate, none of them are incisive, key, nor does he control the game's tempo anymore.

Leave Giggs to control the midfield, with a foil like Fletcher or Hargreaves. Say goodbye to the midfield enforcer that was Paul Scholes.

Posted by Devil wears Oakley on 03/23/2009

What a lost can do to you, mentally and physically. Loss to Liverfool certainly gives strong initiative to others - that we're beatable! And it shows. We're second best in the first half and Fulham pressing like hell. And it doesn't help that we're losing Vida, Roon for that crucial game against Villa. Ohh, and Berba is injured too. See what happens to Villa - they were flying and winning games early on, but after one defeat, they just crumbling and losing games. (I thought the same is happening to us) Between now and what's remain, we need to keep it simple again - no fancy stuff, showing off or whatever. Just go out an play like there's no tomorrow. (I remember the days where we're winning games because we play like headless chicken chasing the ball every inch of grass - Keano still around that time) Sir Alex must try and use that "Us against the world thing", motivate, and fire up our players - just like old days. Every one must stand up and be counted! Let's start with that first!
