John O'Shea - the one of US ...

The reason why I like him is because of what he represents. He represents an ordinary bloke who is aware what he's acvhieved ! He represents not the fastest of players , not the most skilfull or even not the best tackler or header.He maybe can't dribble his way to the goal, he can't beat defenders in flashy fashion, heck many times he can't even stop players without using his arms. to make it simple - he representsan an ordinary man(fan) who would give everything just for 10 seconds on that pitch of Old Trafford. I see him as a representative of an United fan in the team ! He is the living proof that hard work does pay off !

i just like him because his usefull. he can play any position (anyone remember when he was goal keeper).

 

[yangch0000]

he is useful, and as long as he remains satisfied with wat he is providing to the team, he can stay at old trafford for years to come, and most importantly, he is a man utd man

 

[reddwarf]

I like him because the Scousers fear him!!!

You gotta love the pie man hes the new Phil Neville
Even though he was a Liverpool fan as a kid

Even better than Phil! He can play in goal and up front too!

 

[babysenorita]

I like him because never once do i hear him complaint of not having enough game or moaning at how many times he have to play out of his position. Top lad he is & will always remember him as that other than him being versatile.

 

[the-7]

defender
goal keaper
and a striker
and in the mid

[alto10]

The man will always be loved for that goal

Not just the goal at Anfield.

He also scored against Everton home and away. His goal at Goodison Park was crucial. It got us back into the game and prompted Fergie to bring Ronaldo off the bench, which changed the game.

I am your rare sympathiser. And mind you, JOS is not the only one with this special 'gift'...

But I still like him.

I like him because he is a handy sub for any position and most important of all, he is proud and happy to just hang around the first team. Good lad.

O'Shea is a great professional player and ANY player that scored a winner at Anfield should be loved forever. Last season didnt he have the best goal to shot ratio ever recorded??
Anyway he has played over 270 games for United which is a huge amount.
he is so versatile which makes him a great asset to the squad. he never moans or gives out and he is happy to be part of the squad.
We are lucky to have him at OT and Im a big fan.
Him having a cool song and being Irish also helps
keep up the good work Jonner.

 

[akash_reds]

he is very versatile.........so he is very important as our sub

 

[slap u lar]

scouse buster , yeeeeehah

 

[Solsk]

.

Dont think it was the best ever recorded but it was the best of the season.

4 goals from 5 shots if im not mistaken.

Have to say I , like a lot of United fans, am ambivalent about john O'Shea. on the one hand he's a terrific utility player who can slot into any position from 1 to 11.He's humble enough to recognise he is fortunate to playing with so many great players and scored some priceless goals like last season.

However, on the other hand there is so much more That John o' shea could give to United/ Ireland. For a lad with such composure and ability on the ball as he showed in his first season in the team in 02/03 he simply hasnt shown that form since on a consistent basis. The perception rightly or wrongly is that he's lazy & careless in the way he gives the ball away too much for example. it seems that once he established himself after that first season and earned a new contract of circa 40k a week he lost the hunger to prove himself . This lax atttiude manifests itself sadly all too often when playing in an Ireland shirt where in not playing with players of United standard he is a big let down to put it mildly.

all in all though I am a fan of Jos but Its time for him to not settle for just being a handy squad player and try and claim a more permanent position in the team.His talent deserves nothing less otherwise I feel like Phil neville/Butt/Brown maybe he will move on to try and get more first team football .

I Like Johnny. He don't have great skills, don't score many goals, but his versatility is very useful for the team. When SAF needs, Johnny is there. He knows your limitations, and sometimes this is a important thing.
And scored impotant gols, like against Arsenal in season 03/04 and against Liverpool in the last Season.

And I really must say this again - "he represents an ordinary man who would give everything just for 10 seconds on that pitch of Old Trafford. I see him as a representative of an United fan in the team ! He is the living proof that hard work does pay off !"
