The banter between United and City fans is something I enjoy immensely. Insults and digs are exchanged between both sets of fans in regards to what has (and hasn’t) been won, the players on the pitch and results from the past.

Earlier in the week I gave a quick update on the recent developments of the ‘Holy Trinity’ statue, in honour of Denis Law, George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton.
Today the statue has been unveiled, taking price of place opposite the ground, directly in front of Sir Matt Busby’s statue.
The timing is rather fitting, considering that […]

The FA are an organisation I’ve been quick to criticise of a number of occasions. Their inconsistency is infuriating, particularly considering it is usually United on the receiving end of their unjust punishments. From Rio Ferdinand’s drugs ban to Gary Neville’s fine, the FA just love making an example out of United.

Manchester United sold Gerard Pique back to his former club, Barcelona, this week, ending what was a rather disappointing time at United.
Whilst Pique got to share in the joy of winning the league and European Cup double, he did so knowing he hadn’t really left his mark on the club this season.

After his incredible season, we had to know there was going to be no escaping the transfer rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with Real Madrid.
Both the club and the player haven’t helped to squash the speculation, with both seemingly having something to say about the issue every other day. So yesterday, United decided to take things […]

United fans are lucky to have several matches to choose from as “the greatest ever”. The ones that tend to rank most highly are the ones where we should have been well and truly beaten, but somehow managed to come back and win. In 1999, we saw several games like this, with the games against […]
