Is the Football Free Summer For United a Positive?

England weren’t the only team to crash out of the Euro 2008 qualifiers, meaning we’ll have fewer reds representing their countries next summer than we might have previously imagined. Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville, Owen Hargreaves, Michael Carrick and Ben Foster will all have a football free summer. Nemanja Vidic wasn’t even on the bench when [...]

England Embarrassment: Thank God For Manchester United

When Roy Keane returned the “shamed man” from the World Cup finals 2002, he knew he was going to be in for a tough time from the country and the media.

Is It Time To Drop Giggsy?

  Ryan Giggs is not having a great season and I have been surprised somewhat at how easily he has kept his starting place in the team. With Nani emerging as a good winger, I’d have liked to see him rewarded with more time on the field this season. He is lacking in several departments, [...]

Vidic On Captaincy Delight and Scholes’ Tackling

Nemanja Vidic is loved by all reds after a relatively short time at the club, which is due to his fearless approach to the game. He goes to make every ball his, regardless of what knocks and kicks he takes on the way to do so. With Gary Neville’s return looking more and more unlikely [...]

Warrior Vidic’s Influence On War

Nemanja Vidic is currently the centre of attention following what could end up a club vs country battle. Serbia are likely to fail with their aspirations to reach Euro 2008 tomorrow, with Portugal just needing a point against Finland to secure qualification. Regardless of the Serbia result, their fate is in the hand’s of Ronaldo’s [...]

New Signings: Who Is The Fans’ Favourite Already?

Owen Hargreaves has been a player often mocked in England and used as a scapegoat for the failings of the national team on numerous occasions. It only made sense then that he sign for United. It is a shame that his debut finished with a derby day defeat at the council house, and if we’d [...]

Robbed: Poor ol Scousers

Dirk Kuyt, who has been afraid of scoring so far this season, has become the fifth Liverpool player to be robbed in the past eighteen months.

Vidic – His Qualities Are Average

Nemanja Vidic didn’t take long to win the United crowd over. His no nonsense attitude, chopping opposition strikers in half, and doing all he can to get in front of the ball, is admired by United fans and rivals alike. He’s your typical “hard” defender and has made the World of difference to our defence. [...]

Pele On Best, Now Kaka On Ronaldo – Why Cristiano Won’t Win Ballon d’Or

Next week will be two years to the day that George Best died, after battling against an alcohol addiction for years.

Neville: United Over England

“We all agree, United are better than England,” is the chant that boomed around Villa Park a few weeks ago, after Wayne Rooney had been blamed by the press for England’s defeat to Russia. “You can stick your fuckin England up your arse,” was to follow. The idea that United fans put their club before [...]

Don’t Look At Us, Gerrard

Steven Gerrard this week joined the growing number of people concerned about the influence foreigners are having on England’s National team. The fact that England haven’t won anything for decades, even when there were no foreigners in our league, seems to have passed everybody by. The fact that on paper England has one of, if [...]

Do We Want England To Qualify?

So England’s Euro 2008 hopes could be smashed to smithereens in a few hours, if Russia manage to get a win over Israel this evening. After throwing away a 1-0 lead against Russia, courtesy of a splendid Rooney goal, England’s qualification hopes took a turn for the worst. The draw away to Israel and at [...]

Back To Five Points JT

United had a poor start to the season, and played their opening matches without a match fit striker. Rooney hobbled off the field at half time against Reading, leaving us with Giggs and Ronaldo has our only forwards on the field. Carlos Tevez was rushed in to the starting lineup, despite going a month without [...]
