Days before signing for Manchester City, Owen Hargreaves claimed that he had offered to play for United for free, only to be told he was no longer required by the champions. Despite his desire to stay at the club, he understood why United chose to let him go. “I don’t blame them for letting me [...]
Rio Ferdinand’s ban for failing to show up for a drugs test has rightly been a frustration to Manchester United fans, given that Manchester City’s Christian Negouai also failed to attend a drugs test in 2003 and received no ban. Channel 4′s Dispatches has today shown we have even more reasons to feel aggrieved, with [...]
When the trademarked Special One was at Chelsea, I was an advocate of him. No doubt he brought something interesting to the table that other foreign managers simply don’t. Wenger, Benitez and the rest are generally as dull as dishwater. And as much as we already had cause to dislike him for his hop, skip [...]
Sir Alex Ferguson explained one of the reasons why Manchester United did offer Carlos Tevez a new contract was the Argentinian’s plans to retire from football. “Tevez told us he was only going to play for four more years,” he said. “If we had signed him on a five-year contract knowing that he was going [...]
The season is over so please forgive me for talking about something with little to no relation to United. The story links with Sunderland, our second XI/Mini Manchester United, so I guess it’s not completely random. I’ve just read that Craig Gardner is set to sign for Steve Bruce after spending the last 18 months [...]
- After claiming he wanted to spend the rest of his career at Manchester United, Carlos Tevez left the club whose badge he used to kiss to join Manchester City. – Despite being given the captaincy at City, Tevez handed in a transfer request less than 18 months at the club. – After repeatedly claiming [...]
I have made no secret of my admiration for Dimitar Berbatov in his three seasons at the club. He’s a classy player who is a joy to watch on the ball. After spending the first two seasons not scoring as many goals as a £30m striker should, he was awarded with the Premier League golden [...]

After hearing that the FA have charged Sir Alex Ferguson for the comments he made about Howard Webb, you have no choice but to laugh. The FA’s obsession with our club and manager is spiralling out of control. It doesn’t seem to matter to them whether they completely contradict themselves or expose double standards, they [...]
I’m not sure if you’ve had the displeasure of coming across Antoine Zammit, a rabid Liverpool fan behind Empire of the Kop. Local lad Antoine, from Malta, doesn’t like RoM very much. Their anger arises from the t-shirt sold at Mancunia Merchandise, which has the words of the chant we sing to celebrate our success [...]
November 30th 2008: Ronaldo sent off Cristiano Ronaldo received one of the most ridiculous red cards I’ve ever seen, thanks to Howard Webb, during the derby a couple of seasons ago. Already on a yellow card, a corner was delivered in the direction of Ronaldo who had created the space for a free header. However, [...]
Obviously it would be preferable if City did not use the label “Munichs” as a derogatory term for their neighbours and rivals, but they do, and have been using it for many years. Regrettable as that may be, and distasteful as the whole topic might appear to anyone with a normal sense of values, it [...]
On April 5th, the FA charged Wayne Rooney with breaking Law 12 after he swore following scoring his third goal. A Sky Sports camera came on to the field of play and Rooney shouted “what? Fucking what?” at it. “The FA has today charged Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney for the use of offensive, insulting and/or [...]
Rooney was charged with using “offensive, insulting and/or abusive language” in our 4-2 victory over West Ham. The referee didn’t see it or hear it, but was forced by the FA to include it in his match report, claiming that if he had heard Rooney swearing, he would have sent him off. Surely Martin Atkinson [...]
The shortlist for the PFA Player of the Year award has been announced today and amazingly, Nani has been left off the list. Nemanja Vidic, Samir “Naseri”, Gareth Bale, Carlos Tevez, Scott Parker and Charlie Adam will be fighting out, whilst the top goal scorer and the player with the most assists miss out. Dimitar [...]
