David Beckham is doing his bit to help out England’s World Cup 2018 bid. Russia were the favourites at the start of the day but their Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, today revealed that he will not be visiting Fifa’s headquarters in Zurich because of the ‘unscrupulous competition’. The final pitch is made on Thursday and [...]
It’s safe to say that Manchester United were fairly unpopular in England in 1999. We had won the league, the European Cup and the FA Cup all in one season, something no other team in the history of English football has ever achieved. Our likeability went from bad to worse when we snubbed the FA [...]
Poor refereeing mistakes decided the Premiership title in 09-10, with costly decisions in the Manchester United vs Chelsea games handing the eventual champions points they wouldn’t have otherwise got. With United finishing just one point off the top, they would have been crowned champions had the referee been able to use technology to make his [...]
Michel Platini, UEFA president, June 7th 2008 “Look at Chelsea and Manchester United’s debt. Fifa and Uefa have to do something to combat that, because today the ones who cheat are going on to win.

Manchester United have landed in Japan to take part in the FIFA Club Cup, with the first game taking place on December 18th. If we beat Japanese side, Gamba Osaka, we will then face Mexican side, Pachuca, or LDU Quito from Ecuador in the final.
Rio Ferdinand was the target of racist abuse when playing for England against Spain in 2004, along with team mates Ashley Cole and Shaun Wright-Phillips. Every time they went near the ball, the crowd could be heard making monkey noises, leading Rio to almost walk off the pitch. “I don’t think anybody back in England [...]
Sepp Blatter has been causing quite a stir with his moronic comments of late. From his rantings about Taylor to the foreign quota, his opinions on Ronaldo to his strong link with Real Madrid, here is an account of everything that is wrong with FIFA president, Blatter.
United fans’ heads are buzzing with the latest ludicrous comments to come from Sepp Blatter, likening Ronaldo’s situation at United to that of a slave.
