“Did you cheer, did you cheer, did you cheer when Beckham scored?” we would sing to opposition fans following David Beckham’s transformation from villain to hero in the eyes of England fans. After his sending off in the World Cup 1998 he was given an awful time in this country, with effigies of him being [...]
The linesman flagged for this in the second half but the referee waved play on. No advantage was gained from waving play on. You won’t have seen this on Match of the Day 2 though. Can you imagine if David de Gea rushed out of the penalty area and handled the ball? See Beautifully Red [...]
Self confessed Liverpool fan and Guardian journo, Sachin Nakrani, posted a six year old picture on Twitter of a Chelsea fan doing a Nazi salute, suggesting it was taken ahead of today’s FA Cup semi-final. After several people pointed out to him that the picture was old he acknowledged his mistake. However, the strange thing [...]
Following United’s game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season, a match report appeared in the London Evening Standard. The opening paragraphs did not mention the score or the man of the match or anything to do with the tactics, instead they focussed on our fans’ most popular chant at the time. What’s the most [...]
Patrick Vieira launched a bizarre attack on Manchester United last week, claiming we must be desperate to bring Paul Scholes out of retirement and that we wouldn’t have lost our young stars, like Ravel Morrison, in the past. In just the few months since Scholes returned, he’s already scored more goals than he did last [...]
“Typical!” would have been the exclamations up and down the country this evening as Danny Murphy fell to the floor like a sack of shit under a challenge from Michael Carrick. “Typical United, always getting the decisions!” If you were curious, only West Brom have conceded more penalties at home this season, but don’t let [...]
Player: Mirror mirror on the wall…who’s the fairest, sexiest, most skilful of them all? Agent: Why Player X it is you. It will always be you. You are the one everyone desires…. It was only five minutes ago we were discussing Ravel ‘best player since Paul Scholes’ Morrison and his worth to Manchester United. Real [...]
The fuss about handshakes is all the rage at the moment, after the FA cancelled the pre-match handshake between Chelsea and QPR following rumours that Anton Ferdinand’s teammates would all be willing the snub John Terry’s hand. Last weekend we had more fuss, with speculation then suggesting that Rio Ferdinand wouldn’t shake Terry’s hand in [...]
Given I only get to the ground about ten minutes before kick-off, I missed the opportunity to buy the latest edition of Red Issue which went on sale today. Why? Because the GMP, without receiving a single complaint, deemed the picture on the back page “potentially offensive” so went about confiscating it and threatening the [...]
During today’s FA Cup game at Anfield, Liverpool fans booed Patrice Evra every time he touched the ball. His crime? Being racially abused by Luis Suarez in the last game between the two clubs. One Liverpool fan was caught on camera doing a monkey impression when Evra was on the ball. “This matter is now [...]
Wes Brown was repeatedly given a hard time by Sir Alex Ferguson when it came time for contract negotiations. In October 2004 the club had offered Brown what they believed to be a reasonable deal and weren’t prepared to budge. “We’ve made the boy an offer and he’s turned it down,” said Ferguson. “It’s his [...]
Why does this company have access to Manchester United away tickets? I’m not going to publish the name because I have no intention of advertising them but it is scandalous that any one who fancies it can buy up to as many eight tickets at a time for our away matches. Fans pay a fortune [...]
After reading the written reasons behind the decision to charge and ban Luis Suarez, you would think even Liverpool fans would be forced to ditch their usual “victim” stance and admit their player had done wrong. Not just their player though, but their club, for releasing that shameful statement and then organising for their players [...]
Carl Markham has written an article for The Independent in response to Luis Suarez being found guilty of making racist remarks to Patrice Evra. The FA report: “The two witnesses who say they heard those words directed by Mr Bethell at Mr Evra are the Manchester United first team coach Mr Mike Phelan and the [...]
Liverpool Football Club have released an astonishing statement in response to the eight match ban Luis Suarez has received for racially abusing Patrice Evra two months ago. After Kenny Dalglish foolishly repeatedly defended their striker, the club had been left with little option to back Suarez. However, now that he has been found guilty, you’d [...]
