Ronaldo Starts Off The Award Winning Run… With Rio Tagging Along
October 27, 2008 19 Comments
Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed the first of what is likely to be a few awards this season, after being named FifPro World Footballer of the Year. Rio Ferdinand was also named among the best eleven players in the World last season, which will be well received by our defender who was overlooked in the Balon [...]
Arise, Sir Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
October 27, 2008 18 Comments
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will forever have a place in United’s history books and in the hearts of the supporters, as a class act, a great goalscorer, a trophy winner, a model professional, and generally, a bloody good bloke. His great nature has been recognised at the weekend with the presentation of the Royal Norwegian order [...]
Where Did It All Go Wrong, Nicky?
October 27, 2008 9 Comments
After winning the European Cup in 1968, the final of 1999 couldn’t come soon enough for our club and fans. After a storming display in the Champions League, going through the group stages all the way through the semis without a single defeat, confidence was high. We’d won the FA Cup four days prior to [...]
United Need To Show Up For Longer Than 45 Minutes
October 27, 2008 19 Comments
Things just aren’t going our way at the moment. Whatever the reason, our players haven’t quite clicked yet. Has the inclusion of Dimitar Berbatov upset the rhythm? Is Ronaldo’s form following months of no football effecting the team? Just how badly is the absence of our three first choice midfielders hindering us? Whilst United have [...]
Ding ding ding! Ferguson versus Hackett
October 27, 2008 17 Comments
After Manchester United drew with Everton at the weekend, Sir Alex Ferguson had a few words for Alan Wiley. The whistle had blown for a foul on Cristiano Ronaldo, but as he struggled to get to his feet, the ball out of his reach, Neville lunged in with two feet, kicking the ball out of [...]
Mourinho Desperate For United Job… But No Plans For Replacement Yet
October 26, 2008 54 Comments
Jose Mourinho has an impressive resume, with his league titles and Portugal and England, as well as his European Cup win with Porto, yet he is still some way short of deserving a job at Manchester United. His success has always come upon inheriting top squads, with both Chelsea and Porto finishing 2nd in their [...]
Tevez Agent: He Is Staying…Despite Mischief Making
October 26, 2008 11 Comments
“It’s Now Or Tever For Carlos” read the clever headline from The Sun this week, suggesting that Carlos Tevez was on his way out of Manchester United if his future wasn’t sorted soon. The story claimed that his agent, Kia Joorabchian, was growing impatient with the delay in finalising a deal to keep Tevez at [...]
Why We Want Rooney To Mean What He Says
October 26, 2008 12 Comments
Since signing for United, Wayne Rooney has always had a brilliant relationship with our fans. Ignoring his great ability and the goals he scores for a minute, his passion and his determination to see that United win always keeps us on side. He could be having a lousy game, but he’d still got his song [...]
Saha: Everton Move A Step Down
October 25, 2008 9 Comments
Three former United players made up the Everton starting XI today, the most recent of these to move being Louis Saha, who spent too much time on the treatment table to keep his place in our squad. When fit for sustained periods of time, most recently for the first half of the 2006-2007 season, there [...]
Giggs Explains Why He Had A Go At Phil Neville
October 25, 2008 27 Comments
As Cristiano Ronaldo was scrabbling to stay on his feet, Phil Neville bulldozed in to our winger, winning the ball with one foot, planting his studs in to Ronaldo’s knee with the other. Alan Wiley surely would have seemed to have had no option but to send off Wayne Rooney had he been guilty of [...]
Fergie Blames Ref For Rooney Substitution
October 25, 2008 18 Comments
Wayne Rooney was subbed off in our 1-1 draw with Everton today, much to the surprise of our fans. With over 20 minutes left to play, following an afternoon of abuse from the home fans, Rooney was booked for a ‘late challenge’ on Mikel Arteta. There was nothing in it really and certainly wasn’t worthy [...]
Hargreaves Update – Trip To Leicester For Specialist Next Week
October 25, 2008 4 Comments
Manchester United have played without our first choice four central midfielders following injuries and International duty. Whilst Ryan Giggs and Darren Fletcher are working hard to fill the void, which was illustrated in their play for our goal against Everton today, it can’t be ignored we’re missing the creativity Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes provide [...]
