One of the most painful moments as a United fan was that 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea won back to back titles under Jose Mourinho. United were played off the park and Chelsea didn’t even really look as though they were trying.
United fans had been spoilt with success, becoming accustomed to winning the […]

Manchester United are in the process of introducing more youngsters in to the first team, with the likes of Wellback and Simpson, as well as the Brazilian twins, Rafael and Fabio, training with the first team.
The Reserves got a taste of what it is like to play with the big boys earlier this week, when […]

Whilst Wes Brown is struggling to find an agreement over his contract renewal, Rio Ferdinand is on the brink of starting talks with the club over his new contract. I find it remarkable that the club are unwilling to budge on their initial offer to Brown, which would leave him earning less than team mate […]

Every year when Liverpool are out of the title race before the turn of the year, the fans and players are heard talking of next season. Next season will be their year. Then next season comes along, they’re miles behind the leaders, and again they’re ready to claim next season will be the year they […]

Last season, whenever Paul Scholes wasn’t on the field, we looked like a different team. He made all the difference in linking our midfield to our attack, spraying balls far and wide all over the park, landing perfectly at the intended player’s feet. There’s not a player in our squad who comes close to passing […]

David Beckham is a player I have mixed feelings on. As a lifelong Manchester United man and incredibly talented player, he brought so much to the club. He was with United in the most successful year in the club’s history, playing a vital role in our Treble winning season. He played with passion, commitment and […]

Like many other reds, I was absolutely outraged when I found out the FA were letting off William Gallas for intentionally kicking Nani when the teams met in the Cup. The message they are sending out is that it’s acceptable to kick (United) players off the ball if they’ve previously humiliated you with their skill. […]

With United travelling to St James’ Park tomorrow, eager for a win to keep up with Arsenal, what better time is there to remember that goal we scored against Newcastle at Old Trafford.
I had a ticket in the East stand that day, with a perfect view behind the player. It is the only time my […]

United fans will always have fond memories of Kevin Keegan following his loss of bottle as we came back from 14 points behind against his Newcastle side to win the league in 1996.
The Sky Sports interview he gave, ranting about Ferguson, losing the plot as he shouted, “I’ll just love it if we beat them, […]
