The strength of United’s squad has really been tested this season, with the team being hit by injuries in every position. Wesley Brown and Anderson/Hargreaves/Carrick have meant the injuries to Paul Scholes and Gary Neville haven’t been too costly.
Neville last played for us in March of last season, seeing out just eleven minutes of our [...]
Dimitar Berbatov took home the match ball this weekend, after Spurs’ exhilarating 6-4 over Reading. Berbatov scored four of the goals, leading Spurs to another impressive victory, after the 5-1 thrashing they dealt Fulham just a few days before.
Before the start of the season there was talk of Tottenham replacing their local rivals, Arsenal, in [...]
Rio Ferdinand organised what was supposed to be the party of the year for the Champions this Christmas, but when stories of rape and roastings emerged, things quickly turned sour. Today, Sir Alex Ferguson spoke about how he is more than happy to get rid of players who disrupt the balance at United, who jeopardise [...]
Arsenal moved back to top of the table yesterday after beating Everton 4-1, a scoreline which flatters the Gunners. Wenger’s men went a goal down, but fought back to get the three points. Replays show that the crucial goal which put Arsenal in the lead, deflating Moyes’ players, was handled by Eduardo before it found [...]
United have had a relatively successful December, picking up fifteen points from a possible eighteen. The loss against West Ham yesterday cost us our place at the top of the table, but following the events of the Christmas party, I’m surprised the price we had to pay wasn’t more severe.Stories of roastings and rape were [...]
Wes Brown has been a great servant to United over the years, slotting in at centre and full back depending on where he was needed. The season before last, before Vidic arrived, he formed a great partnership with Ferdinand in the centre, his favoured position, whilst this season has been employed at right back, filling [...]
Manchester United have moved back down to second in the table after losing to West Ham today. Whenever United lose there is a temptation to start pointing the finger. We surely can’t have lost because we weren’t good enough, so what can we blame it on?
I had a go at playing the blame game earlier, [...]
The Everton vs Arsenal game has just kicked off and I can’t think of a better inspiration they have to win after hearing United lost 2-1 against West Ham. The final whistle blew at Upton Park minutes before the game in Merseyside started, Anton Ferdinand scoring the equalising goal against his brother’s team.
In the past [...]
Ahead of Manchester United’s trip to Upton Park, Anton Ferdinand revealed that his brother, Rio, used to take ballet lessons. With Anton unable to replicate his brother’s ability, as yet, it appears as though he is eager to level the score somewhat. When Rio was Anton’s age, he made his big money move of £18 [...]
Carlos Tevez will return to Upton Park tomorrow to face his former club. As I have already written about, there is an expectation for Tevez to get a good welcome, after fighting so hard and playing so well to keep West Ham in the Premiership last season. However, Sir Alex Ferguson has today questioned whether [...]
As I sat in my seat on the last day of the 2006-2007 season, I couldn’t help but feel as though it was a bit of an anti-climax. During the barren years we’d had since 2003, I had imagined this day, and it wasn’t at all like this. I drank champagne with my family then [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo finally answered his critics last season when he proved that he did have ‘end product’ on top of his marvellously skill full feet. He shone last season, which is something even those who hate him cannot deny. The boos and whistles from every set of opposition fans we came across only inspired Ronaldo [...]
Manchester United earned their three points yesterday rather easily. There could have been reason to fear when looking at the line-up. Our fourth and fifth choice central midfielders, Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick, started in the middle, Nani replaced Giggs on the wing, Louis Saha, who is still struggling for match fitness, filled in for [...]
Following United’s away defeat to Bolton, who previously had been massively struggling, the press had a field day slating United. “Is this really the strongest Manchester United squad in Sir Alex Ferguson’s time at Old Trafford, as he recently claimed?” Steve Tongue from The Independent questioned. “A United team not up for a scrap? Surely [...]
It makes sense that young and inexperienced managers would bring in players who he was familiar with. That is why Roy Keane has invested heavily in Irish players and United/former United playes. Out of the sixteen man squad that faced United today, five of them used to play for United, and that’s with former red, [...]
