Choccy Not Impressed With Players’ Pedicure Routine
December 5, 2008 4 Comments
Brian McClair wasn’t sure what to make of a discovery on a recent visit to the first team dressing room.
Football is not like it was in his day, it appears, with McClair coming across appointment times for pedicures, massages and yoga classes.
Surely it’s all gone a bit too far when the players can’t even run [...]
Kuszczak Had Nothing To Do Against West Ham… But Wants Another Start
October 30, 2008 8 Comments
Tomasz Kuszczak was given a start in last night’s Premiership game against West Ham, although had little opportunity to impress the manager.
United fan Dean Ashton scored a brilliant goal in the fixture last season, but he is injured, leaving West Ham with very few options up front. Craig Bellamy was predictably useless and the biggest [...]
Kuszczak Is One Of The Best
September 15, 2008 14 Comments
Tomasz Kuszczak has had a rather eventful time in the two years and limitted appearances he’s had. The season before last he gave away a penalty against Arsenal, before going on to save it, and last season, as the subbed on goalkeeper, gave away another penalty and got sent off.
Whilst most United fans aren’t overly [...]
Our Best Midfield Four – Who Is It?
August 26, 2008 33 Comments
There is always apprehension ahead of travelling to Fratton Park due to their recent good history against us. When looking at the players we had available to us, the worries increased.
No Ryan Giggs, Nani, Cristiano Ronaldo, Park Ji-Sung, Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves, with Anderson supposedly exhausted after 6 games in 18 matches in China.
“We [...]

August 23, 2008 9 Comments
The shortlist for the UEFA Player of the Year candidates have been announced, with six United players featuring. Whilst Cristiano Ronaldo will almost certainly win the overall award, five other players have been recognised, with Edwin Van der Sar being named in the UEFA Goalkeeper of the Year category, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic up [...]
Silvestre To City? Bite Sparky’s Hand Off!
August 18, 2008 18 Comments
Following the booing Manchester City fans dished out to their team last week, as well as news that owner Thaksin Shinawatra had warrants out for his arrest, the 4-2 battering Aston Villa dished out them confirmed the misery for the bluenoses and Mark Hughes yesterday. However down you might get over United, you should always [...]
Anderson – What a bloody nice bloke
July 29, 2008 27 Comments
Poor ol Kleberson. As if his stint at United wasn’t embarrassing enough, without Old Trafford’s favourite new chant having to bring back all the memories. Anderson, unlike his fellow Brazilian, is a top quality player and certainly is better than Kleberson.
“I have come from one big club to another so I am very happy,” Kleberson [...]
Poll: Best Ever United Team?
July 25, 2008 12 Comments
If there’s one thing United fans struggle to agree on, it’s which of our great sides could be given the title ‘the greatest ever’. Whilst United’s success in 1999 is unrivalled by any other team, some argue that our teams from the early 90s were superior, however were held back in Europe because of the [...]
Rio Better Than Chelsea’s Terry and Liverpool’s Carragher?
July 24, 2008 24 Comments
Rio Ferdinand is a player that I have taken several years to warm to, with the player’s change in attitude aiding my change in opinion. Whilst he has matured immensely in his time at United, his form has improved every season, which culminated in last season’s brilliantly reliable presence that he provided. Had Ronaldo not [...]
Quick poll: Will You Boo Ronaldo?
July 24, 2008 29 Comments
The boos were relentless as Aston Villa beat Walsall 3-2 this week, with Villa fans letting former idol, Gareth Barry, know exactly what they now think of him. He was stripped of the captaincy, with the armband going to Marlon Harewood instead, as he was forced to play with the Reserves.
Cries of “Judas” and “You’re [...]
The Tide Turns… Time To Praise Rooney Following Fergie’s Sacrificing
July 23, 2008 9 Comments
Wayne Rooney made a positive impact in United’s dull 1-0 victory over Orlando Pirates last night, injecting a bit of class and excitement in the match.
Earlier in the week, Rooney was on the receiving end of some harsh criticism from legend Pele, the namesake of our favourite chant for the striker. It was claimed that [...]
Rio: Ronaldo Has Spoilt What Should Have Been A Great Summer
July 20, 2008 6 Comments
Manchester United enjoyed their second most successful season in the club’s entire history before the summer started, claiming the league and European Cup double.
Instead of the press lauding over our great success, the back pages have been filled with talk of Cristiano Ronaldo instead. The will-he-won’t-he saga concerning his move to Real Madrid has left [...]
Is Fletcher Foolish To Stay Loyal To United?
July 17, 2008 11 Comments
Darren Fletcher certainly splits the vote where United fans are concerned, with some trusting Sir Alex Ferguson’s judgement on the player, whilst others are insistent he is not good enough for Manchester United.
Now facing competition with Paul Scholes, Owen Hargreaves, Michael Carrick and Anderson for the central midfield roles, all of whom come above him [...]
“Ronaldo Bad News For Real’s Dressing Room Morale”
July 16, 2008 35 Comments
The Slave has been warned away from a move to Real Madrid by Wesley Sneijder today, who claims the top wages Ronaldo is set to earn would make the other players at the club jealous.
After previously coming across rather desperate for Ronaldo to sign for his club, Sneijder is now concerned what negative effects it [...]
