Ahead of kick-off on Wednesday I was nervous but I was still entirely confident we would progress to the Champions League Round of 16. I would have preferred not to endure a nervy draw and fancied us to get a win, but it was neither here nor there. Whilst there was some talk of the [...]
szólj hozzá: Ma1-1Ne[Matchhighlight.com] Rio Ferdinand put in a brilliant challenge on Ben Arfa in the box only for the linesman John Flynn to flag for a penalty. Mike Jones, who was filling in for Phil Dowd, had initially rightly indicated that a corner should be awarded, before a discussion with Flynn saw him award a [...]
Liverpool fans showed up at Stamford Bridge today wearing “Evra is a liar” t-shirts, which stewards made them remove ahead of kick-off. Despite Luis Suarez admitting he called Evra a name in Spanish and the FA charging the Liverpool striker with directing racial verbal abuse at Evra, Liverpool fans have predictably rolled out their usual [...]
Following Chelsea’s defeat to QPR, footage of John Terry allegedly calling Anton Ferdinand a “black cunt” was circulated on the internet. Chelsea fans immediately insisted that the word being used was “blind” and scolded rival fans for thinking they were lip-reading experts. As much as anyone hates Terry, no one should wish for him to [...]
It beggars belief that somebody could earn a salary for writing such dross but James Olley, from The London Evening Standard, has managed to do just that. Olley claims that if Evra cannot prove that he was racially abused then he should have the book thrown at him. Is that how justice works? Only accuse [...]
When Manchester United signed 20-year-old goalkeeper David de Gea for £20m you could more or less predict what was going to happen. His first mistake would be magnified, he’d get ripped apart in the press and would be under the spotlight from then on. So, the script had been written and de Gea complied, letting [...]
The football was nothing to write home about in 2008-2009 but in terms of excitement and nerves, it was one of the best seasons for years. As usual, we were fighting it out for the title, but this time it was against our hated rivals, Liverpool. United were a few matches behind everyone else at [...]
In the summer of 2006, Wayne Rooney was sent off during the pre-season Amsterdam Tournament for an innocuous challenge on Pepe, as both players jumped for the ball. It was only a couple of months earlier that Rooney had been sent off against Portugal in the World Cup and Pepe was prepared to use this [...]
Andre Marriner has been appointed referee for United’s game against Liverpool at Anfield this weekend. He has previous… 1. After being shown a yellow card for a two footed challenge from behind, Steven Gerrard told Marriner to fuck off, before sticking his fingers up at him. No punishment was given. 2. In the Anfield game [...]
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 [...]
