United, top of the league
Manchester United have finished top of a 'league of shame' for match-day arrests.
The champions had more fans held by police than any other team in the Premier League during last season – almost twice as many as second-placed Sunderland.

The figures, released by the Home Office show that the number of United supporters arrested rocketed from 165 in the 2009-10 season to 276 last year.
Some 117 fans were held at home games and 159 at away matches.

The vast majority of the arrests were for alcohol offences (127), followed by violent disorder (63), ticket touting (26), pitch invasions (20)(In Holland one bloke runs onto the pitch and the whole country goes berzerk, the media are often refering to England's football law which should be the solution for all Dutch problems too. I'm sure Joe Public will sleep well when footballfans are punished harsher than rapists and other proper scum. AR), public disorder (15) and possessing offensive weapons (11).

City joined United in the top four of the list - with 108 arrests last season.
Bolton had 52 fans arrested and Wigan 27.
Outside the top flight, Rochdale had seven arrests, Stockport five and Bury just one.
United said the figures should be seen in context of the fact Old Trafford had a bigger capacity than any other ground.

A club spokesman said: "These figures should be presented as a percentage of the stadium’s crowd, rather than as individual figures."
Mark Longden, from the independent Manchester United supporters association blamed the high number of arrests on 'over-zealous' policing at football grounds.
He said: "We're one of the very few teams that sells out their ticket allocation wherever we go.
"We all have our bad eggs but I think most sections of supporters are the same. The main issue is over-zealous policing.
"The way supporters are policed in general is conducive to getting arrested. The police release these figures every year which are designed to show football supporters to be hooligans carrying bricks and knives.
"It's in their interests to talk up the aggro."

Manchester City declined to comment.
The figures also showed that 23 fans were arrested in the Premier League for racist or indecent chanting – including two United fans.

Ruud van Nistelrooy on United and his departure.

2011-04-20T06:44:00.000+02:00

Journalist Steven Kooijman wrote this article in the February 2011 issue of Voetbal Magazine.
In the article Ruud van Nistelrooy reflects on his five fantastic seasons at United, from 2001 till 2006. Here are some parts of the interview.

The quotes are mostly from Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Ruud tells he had an instant click with Sir Alex Ferguson. Sitting on the settee at Ruud’s flat, Fergie described him as his ideal centreforward. During this conversation, in 2000, Fergie told Ruud it would be his last season as manager.

‘Of course I wanted to go to United, I could see the team round me: Beckham, Keane, Scholes and Gigss in midfield, amazing. Up front Cole, Yorke and Solskjaer. And then that fantastic ground; Old Trafford. Things couldn’t be better.’

During his injury, before joining United, Fergie phoned Ruud a few times and visited him once. ‘That felt so warm. He said “Ruud don’t worry, next year you’ll play for us.”

In his first months at United Ruud becomes fascinated by Duncan Edwards. ‘The legend and the stories that were still told about his skill, really struck me. His greatness lives on, 40 years later. That he had to die that young, a thing like that can happen aswell. Ferguson used to talk a lot about him, how strong and complete he was. Fergie liked to talk about the club’s legends.’

‘I felt deadrelaxed in the dressingroom, which was like any other dressingroom; no stars, just footballers. The core was British. You had the Neville-brothers, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Giggs; local lads. Becks, Keane, who had been therefore a hundred years, Denis Irwin.’

‘Carrington was the personification of the United family to me. Closed off from the press and the public. Everyone trains there, from the youth teams to the first team. After training we all ate together, including the youthtrainers and the greenkeepers. Everyone’s interested in each other. I loved that, it created such a bond. I felt completely free. It was like playing with some mates in the park.’

‘The amount of talent at Carrington was surreal. There are so many lads around from United’s youthsystem. Pique is now world champion and won countless trophies at Barca. Rossi’s now at Villarreal and Italian international. I was watching Match of theDay the other day; Ebanks-Blake at Wolves, Phil Bardsley and Kieran Richardson at Sunderland, Danny Simpson plays at Newcastle, the Da Silva twins, I’ve seen them play with the U17’s.
I still feel connected. Nowhere I experienced such a clubfeeling as at Manchester United, with Fergie as the big boss.’
‘United wants to develop, instead of buying everything in sight, like Real. That’s why I think the statement Frank de Boer made at Ajax (fielding a lot of youngsters) was great. They should keep him long term.’

About his departure.
‘It’s probably a good thing I left. It was the only way I’d have left United, cos I wanted to finish my career in Manchester.’
‘Of course my departure was mostly my own fault. I was stubborn and stayed stubborn.’

The built up to the departure; the Carling Cupfinal.
‘ I knew up front that players who had played in the Carling Cup the rest of the season would play in the final. That was fine by me. I had only played in the home leg of the semi.
Ferguson was supposed to bring me on as a sub, but he didn’t. He hadn’t really told me he would, but there were only five subs, including a goalie. With 4-0 on the scoreboard, I thought; right, let’s play for half hour, score and win the cup. Fergie would have wanted that himself aswell, right?!.
Everyone came on, even Vidic and Evra, lads who had only just joined the club, except me. I was really pissed off, the Carling Cup is another trophy and I wanted to be part of it. I’ve got the medal, but it doesn’t feel as if I won it.’
‘After that we didn’t get on anymore. I think he waited for me to apologize for swearing at him. And I waited for him to say; shite Ruud, I should have brought you on.’

Van Nistelrooy admits Ferguson was the least stubborn of the two. ‘Fergie tried it with small talk, but I wouldn’t give in, not an inch!’ I didn’t wanna talk about the weather, I thought: you can talk about the final, if not I’m not talking to you at all.’

The fight escalates.
‘I decided to leave. The mrs. wasn’t best pleased, she was eight months pregnant and we had just decorated the nipper’s room. She said: lighten up man, just talk to him.
But I couldn’t, I just couldn’t.’

After leaving Man. United.
The longer he’s away, the more he regrets the way he treated Sir Alex Ferguson.
‘I wanted to solve it, but didn’t know what to do. If I phoned he might not answer. Then the mrs. suggested to send a text first, to ask if I could call.
I did and he texted a time at which I could call him.’
‘When I called, Fergie answered with; hello, okay go ahead.
Straight away it was, come on then. Me: I want to apologize. Him: I appreciate it. I’m sure when we meet, everything will be okay.’
‘That he said that meant the world to me. I told him the five years had been amazing, with him aswell, just a shame things went the way they did.’

‘I always felt homesick to Old Trafford. To the fans, to the Ruud, Ruud, Ruud, to the players lounge, to the old pics on the wall, to the wooden floors. When I meet Ferguson again, and I really hope I do, then I’ll hug him.
Then it’s case closed.’
