Steven Gerrard, who missed one of the penalties that saw England knocked out of the last World Cup, deflected any possible negative attention away from himself and in the direction of Ronaldo instead.
“If it was one of my team-mates, I’d be absolutely disgusted in him because there’s no need for that,” said Gerrard. “I’ve seen [...]
We’re left in limbo whilst Ronaldo holidays with his bird who has the body of a goddess, not knowing whether he will be in Manchester or Madrid next season.
Whilst there’s every possibility of United sticking to their guns and fending off Real Madrid for at least another season, as we did after a similar situation [...]
“[They are] not the Manchester of before,” Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said in August 2005, after the player was linked with a move to United. “If I were a player, I would laugh about it.”
“I just can’t imagine that he would go to Manchester United,” Rummenigge said in October 2005. “What would speak for Manchester and against [...]
“From playing under Sir Alex you learn high standards and ruthlessness is required at any level of management, more so at the top. I’m sure I’ll find that out,” said Paul Ince, the new Blackburn Rovers manager, today. Becoming the 4th player from the 1994 Double winning side at United to manage a Premiership team [...]
Repetition is a serious problem for our scouse neighbours. The season before last they won nothing, which was repeated in 07-08 when they again won nothing.
It’s not only their trophyless seasons Liverpool choose to repeat, but their pre-season sayings. “This is our year,” Gerrard will tell Sky Sports news. He’ll put his faith in Benitez [...]
Half time of the Spain vs Russia game last night and I heard the familiar voice of Eric Cantona.
I looked up to see Cantona in full armour, chest puffed out as we’ve seen many times before, speaking in his thick French accent.
“Sons of England,” he said. “Elimination is painful and the wound has yet to [...]
“We know that it’s something between the player and Manchester United,” Ramon Calderon said yesterday, trying to fan the flames yet again. “If the player continues to insist that he wants to come and if United will consider letting him go, then we’ll ask. If the price is right and everyone’s happy, then it won’t [...]
“Can Manchester United score? They always score,” are the infamous words which epitomised our 1998-1999 season.
However, throughout our recent history, spanning over a period of 15 years or so, United are well known for being the team who don’t know when they’re beaten.
This has been both a blessing and a curse for United. Whilst late [...]
“If it was me, it would make me proud that the big clubs were asking about our players,” said Real Madrid rat Calderon yesterday.
I’ll address the possibility of this being a dig at the size of United as a club later. First, it’s important to state that United don’t have any problem with other big [...]
According to Match of the Day, Wayne Rooney claimed the goal of the season last year, for the second time in three years, for the great goal scored against Bolton Wanderers at Old Trafford.
This year, Arsenal’s Adebayor claimed the award for his effort against Spurs.
But which goal did the RoM forum vote as our greatest [...]
Wayne Rooney got married to childhood sweetheart, Colleen McLoughlin, a fortnight ago, and is currently enjoying his honeymoon in Las Vegas.
There were talks of a rift between Rooney and Ferdinand following Rio’s late decline of a wedding invitation, although I’m sure this is nothing more than paper talk.
What I’m more concerned with is the fact [...]
For the final third of the 2005-2006 season, Ryan Giggs and John O’Shea proved to be the best central midfield pairing we had. Our team was ravaged by injuries, meaning even the likes of Richardson had a stint in the centre of our midfield. It was painful.
Times have changed vastly since then, with Sir Alex [...]
An Arsenal fan with too much time on his hands…
To guarantee an argument which will last all night, put a Manchester United and Liverpool fan in a room and get them to discuss which club is the greatest.
“Have you ever won the Treble?” “We’ve won it five times,” “18 years,” and “18 vs 17 titles,” would probably be the phrases that appeared most often.
Whilst [...]
Ole Gunnar Solsjaer’s place in our history books was cemented when scored against Bayern Munich during injury time in the European Cup final to win us the trophy, however our love for him runs much deeper than that.
The guy is a class act, one of the few United players who is respected by all (apart [...]
