The disappointing result against Middlesbrough was soon put to the back of our minds when news broke that Rio Ferdinand returned to the team bus with his foot in a protective case. In the age where metatarsal breaks are the new craze, the thought that Ferdinand could have broken his foot was pretty unbearable. Already [...]
There has been a lot said about Fabio Capello’s decision to make Rio Ferdinand temporary captain of England in the press this week. Some questioned how appropriate it was to make Ferdinand captain when taking in to consideration his less than glowing past. Others recognised the change in Ferdinand and his commitment to being a [...]
Two or three years ago, John Terry was one of the few players representing a rival team that I had a certain amount of respect for. I regarded him as a very good player, a great leader, and someone I would have been very keen to see partnering Rio Ferdinand at the back. However, his [...]
“You can stick your fucking England up your arse” goes the Manchester United fans’ chant. Following years of negative treatment from England fans and the FA directed at our club, players and fans, many of the most devout United fans are proud of their anti-England stance. The sense of being Mancunian is much stronger than [...]
Following that night in Istanbul in 2005, Liverpool fans laud their five European Cups over us whenever they are given the opportunity. United join the likes of Barcelona, Juventus and Inter Milan with two European Cups to their name, and with a semi-final place last season, as well as a strong Champions League campaign this [...]
Whilst Wes Brown is struggling to find an agreement over his contract renewal, Rio Ferdinand is on the brink of starting talks with the club over his new contract. I find it remarkable that the club are unwilling to budge on their initial offer to Brown, which would leave him earning less than team mate [...]
With the injury to Gary Neville and the tired legs of Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand has had his fair share of wearing the captain’s arm band for United so far this season. Captaincy is a role his relishes, and one that I feel, despite not being his biggest fan, he does a bloody good job [...]
United have had a relatively successful December, picking up fifteen points from a possible eighteen. The loss against West Ham yesterday cost us our place at the top of the table, but following the events of the Christmas party, I’m surprised the price we had to pay wasn’t more severe.Stories of roastings and rape were [...]
Ahead of Manchester United’s trip to Upton Park, Anton Ferdinand revealed that his brother, Rio, used to take ballet lessons. With Anton unable to replicate his brother’s ability, as yet, it appears as though he is eager to level the score somewhat. When Rio was Anton’s age, he made his big money move of £18 [...]
Following the rape claims made about Jonny Evans during the Manchester United Christmas party, The Sun has gone on to report more sordid details about what supposedly went on. One girl has sold her story in today’s paper giving the details of one incident she said she overheard. “I was upstairs in the hotel gossiping [...]
Rio Ferdinand has had a complicated relationship with United fans in his relatively short career at United so far. His fancy London ways don’t appeal to us much, he was booed for failing to sign a new contract straight away following his ban… then he scores two goals in two seasons against the dippers. There [...]
Oliver Holt is a writer I have criticised time and again for his unashamedly ABU opinions, which get splashed all over the back pages under the guise of being written by the best sport’s journalist in the country. He blamed Fergie for Rooney’s injury prior to the World Cup, claiming Ferguson should have had the [...]
Manchester United claimed all three points against Liverpool at Anfield today, with the ground quickly becoming a favourite place for our lads to travel. Just as Villa Park has been a good place to travel to, Anfield is rapidly becoming a stomping ground for United, an easy place for us to pick up three points [...]
I never have and never will be the biggest fan of Rio Ferdinand. Whilst his injury time winner against the dippers allowed the majority of fans to kiss and make up, nothing can be done to entirely repair the damage done after he missed his drugs test. After demanding more money, after serving a lengthy [...]
