It’s been a while since I’ve had a “favourite player”. By favourite, I mean the player who you defend until you’re blue in the face (regardless of their wrong doings), the player you could watch for hours on end, the player you admire and brag about in equal amounts. It seems a pretty childish thing [...]
If Heinze’s move to the dippers had been cleared this summer, it would be a pretty humiliating situation for United. We’d made it known how much we loved the player, and to see him wearing the red of the scum week in week out would have been a lot to stomach. As soon as Heinze [...]
Ferguson gets a lot of stick for selling on some of our best players. Despite the fact he always ends up proving people wrong (e.g. winning the league with an average of more than two goals a game the season following selling Ruud or buying Cristiano Ronaldo as the replacement for Beckham or winning the [...]
Gabriel Heinze won the Old Trafford crowd over pretty easily. He has grit and determination, he makes that last ditch tackle and appears to love doing so. With the shrug of his shoulders and his cheeky grin, he made us fall for him. At the end of his first year, we voted him our Player [...]
Since “You’ll never win anything with kids” backfired immensely on Alan Hansen, with the United kids going on to win the Double at the end of that season, and winning the unprecedented Treble a few years later, there has been an awful amount of pressure on United’s youth team players. Since that group of kids [...]
Many Manchester United fans adopted Sunderland as their “2nd team” when hero Roy Keane took over at the North East club. For all the sacrifice and hard work, for all the tackles and goals, for all the spirit and passion, Keano embodied what it meant to be a United player, and we all loved him [...]
I remember vividly the overwhelming feeling of utter disappointment in June 1998 when the referee pulled out the red card, sending David Beckham off against Argentina just after the second half had begun. Disappointment for England, sure, but disappointment for Beckham, who was the hero of 15 year old me. Disappointment for knowing that our [...]
When looking at United this season, you would think the last thing we had to complain about was our strikeforce. The team has scored 63 goals in all competitions this season, which amounts to 32 games. An average of just under 2 goals a game is more than impressive, and it speaks volumes we’ve achieved [...]
Growing up in my house, “City” was a dirty word. I soon learnt that “Scousers” was even worse. But something I’ve known for a very long time is that “Leeds” is scum. Aside from terrace chants of “We all ‘ate Leeds scum”, and the sheer joy we get from Leeds being our feeder club and [...]
No prizes for guessing who I’m talking about, because my clues are intentionally about as subtle as those showing Ashley Cole plays for the other team (no, I don’t mean Chelsea, I mean homosexuals). A United player, the best central midfielder and leader the Premiership has ever seen, one of the best to ever play [...]
Before I say anything, let me make it clear for the whole time Fergie has been playing Saha over Ruud, I’ve been desperate to see Ruud start a game. Whilst understanding why Fergie was playing Saha, because his scoring form was better than Ruud’s, I still figured that sooner, rather than later, Ruud had to [...]
Alex Ferguson has made some debatable team selections over recent years, and yesterday, in the Carling Cup final, he made another. He dropped Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has scored an impressive 22 goals from 34 starts for United this season, as well as topping the Premiership goalscorers table, for 3rd choice United striker, Louis Saha. [...]
