For the superstitious amongst us, it was no surprise in 1999, when we won the European Cup for the second time, on Sir Matt’s birthday. Some things are just meant to be. This season marks the 50th anniversary since the Munich Air Disaster, when eight of our players were robbed of their lives in Germany, [...]
Whenever I am introduced to a fellow red, I joke over the amount of time it will take for us to get started talking about 99. We seem to find it impossible to go a night without mentioning that night at the Nou Camp with a United fan we’ve just met. “Where were you?” “Yeh [...]
We got our first win of the season yesterday, but today’s talk revolves around the penalty decissions referee Howard Webb got right. On first viewing, Vidic’s challenge on Berbatov, as well as his blocked shot by Wesley, you’d be forgiven for thinking Spurs should have been awarded a penalty or two. However, video replay shows [...]
Ferguson gets a lot of stick for selling on some of our best players. Despite the fact he always ends up proving people wrong (e.g. winning the league with an average of more than two goals a game the season following selling Ruud or buying Cristiano Ronaldo as the replacement for Beckham or winning the [...]
Listening to a match on the radio is one of my most hated things. The commentators are far too excitable for my liking, and I often find myself celebrating a goal, only for me to hear “…and it’s gone wide” midway through my cheers. I was unable to get to the Spurs game on Sunday, [...]
Nani opened up his scoring in style in United’s 1-0 win over Spurs today. A frustrating game, with action at both ends, was wrapped up with this magnificent strike from our “next Ronaldo”. Nani revealed this week that Sir Alex had not asked him to stop his flamboyant goal celebration, which contradicted what had been [...]
It has been confirmed today that Gabriel Heinze will not be granted permission by the Premier League to join the dippers. Gabby has made his feelings more than clear over recent weeks about his desire to leave, feeling he deserves the clubs’ blessing after the “loyalty” he has shown to us over the years. Ferguson [...]
Another match gone, more points dropped, and the talk of “crisis” is upon us. Despite dominating Sunday’s derby, yet again we failed to put the ball in the back of the net. We hit the woodwork, again, we watched the ball roll painfully close on the wrong side of the post, again, and Micah Richards [...]
I was one of the lucky 2,000 reds who got to sit in the away end at the Council House last May. We were on the brink of winning the league, and the excitement of picking up the vital three points at City’s place was high. We walked in to the ground, to be met [...]
The second to last time I felt the way I do now was on a miserable and rainy day as I walked out of Old Trafford last April. Richardson scored that day, getting his name on the scoresheet after Rooney did all the hard work. We drew 1-1 with Middlesbrough with four games left to [...]
Twelve months ago we grabbed the attention of the Premiership when we thrashed Fulham 5-1 on the opening day of the season. I wrote about this game, and called it the “ideal start”, something which we needed to show people we were serious about winning our title back. So as I left Old Trafford yesterday, [...]
All summer I have been eagerly awaiting the first day of the season. I was looking forward to seeing our new signings, I was looking forward to seeing some great attacking football, and essentially, I was just looking forward to our title defence starting. Growing up attending Old Trafford, it felt as if every season [...]
I can’t remember a pre-season where I’ve seen us score so many fantastic goals. His a video showing the best of them.
When news broke that we’d signed Tevez a few weeks back, I thought it had to be too good to be true. Over the following days, that statement seemed quite literal, and it looked as though the deal was going to fall through. As we’ve waited for the FA to pull their finger out, the [...]
Manchester United were deservedly victorious against Chelsea in the weekend’s meaningless Community Shield. Whilst the press and Jose Mourinho will be keen to tell you the injuries were to blame, it might do us all some good to look at things realistically. Chelsea struggle without John Terry, which we witnessed last season, but this is [...]
