Manchester United picked up all three points against Birmingham yesterday, Carlos Tevez finishing off a beautiful move. The goal was remnant of that scored against Middlesbrough earlier this season, with Rooney and Tevez linking up perfectly. However, despite our superior attempts on goal and possession, the 1-0 scoreline might appear worrying for United fans, and [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo was a revelation for United last season, sticking two fingers up at all the doubters and critics he’d had to deal with over the past few years. ‘No end product’ was the insult he faced the most, and to a certain extent, there was some truth to that. He’d mesmerise the opposition with [...]
It was sheer boredom which allowed me to stumble across Rob Smyth’s damning report of Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United which was written last summer. Twenty days before United opened the 2006/2007 season with the memorable 5-1 battering of Fulham, United had been written off. Our decline was evident, according to the likes of [...]
United fans had to endure even more ridiculous criticism of our Portugese winger earlier this week when he was accused of diving against Fulham. The referee booked him after he went down in the penalty area. I’ve browsed a few football forums and how there is any debate on it is beyond me. As United [...]
When thinking of Ronaldo, the boy who cried wolf springs to mind. When he joined the club as a skinny teenager, he brought his European tactics of diving along with him. Don’t get me wrong, I am not for one moment suggesting that diving is a foreign activity to English players (eh, Stevie Me? Joe [...]
Rio Ferdinand was bannedfrom football for eight months by the FA and fined £50,000 after he failed to show up at a drugs test. Ferdinand was one of the four United players selected at random to be tested for drugs in September 2003. The players were required to stay after training to take part, but [...]
It is no surprise that United struggle without Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, but it is a surprise that they struggle so much, writes Football365.com. I don’t like blaming injuries, and whilst I think there can be a lot of truth to that argument at times, I think it rarely gets you off the hook [...]
Sir Alex Ferguson was forced to watch the second half of our defeat to Bolton from the stands yesterday, after giving the hopeless Mark Clattenburg a piece of his mind in the tunnel. The ref let Bolton kick lumps out of our lads, with very little repercussions for our opposition. Only two of their players [...]
“We all agree, United are better than England,” is the chant that boomed around Villa Park a few weeks ago, after Wayne Rooney had been blamed by the press for England’s defeat to Russia. “You can stick your fuckin England up your arse,” was to follow. The idea that United fans put their club before [...]
Steven Gerrard this week joined the growing number of people concerned about the influence foreigners are having on England’s National team. The fact that England haven’t won anything for decades, even when there were no foreigners in our league, seems to have passed everybody by. The fact that on paper England has one of, if [...]
“Take me home United road” has become a popular song at Old Trafford over years gone by, so much so, someone had the bright idea of letting an American sing it over a cheesy country and western nineties sounding track, resembling the original “Country Roads” by John Denver. It’s good for getting the Old Trafford [...]
There has been a lot of fuss made over Wenger’s team of kids this season, after Arsenal had been written off in the summer. The team of youngsters are currently top of the league on goal difference with a game in hand to play. After United drew with Arsenal at the Emirates last weekend, mad [...]
After watching England vs Russia during the week, I was left fuming by the comments made by Mark YSB Lawrenson and John Motson about our very own Wayne Rooney, which I wrote about here. I made an official complaint to the BBC about the negative bias used when talking about Rooney. After citing the two [...]
I was fortunate enough to be at Old Trafford to watch the lads batter Chelsea last weekend. At half time, I watched the highlights, with Rooney coming close to scoring in the opening minutes, with Mikel getting sent off for his foul on Evra, Tevez clinching his first United goal, Joey Cole bringing Evra down [...]
As the summer of 2006 came to an end, following a season where our team had been ravaged by injuries, the last thing we wanted was to be without arguably our two best players at the start of the coming season. When, ludicrously, the FA dished out three match bans to both Rooney and Scholes [...]
