Whenever we’re given the opportunity to disprove Manchester City’s silly claim that the city is theirs, we gladly take it. For City’s final game of the season today there were empty seats all over the place, despite the club claiming the game was a sell out. By the time of the final whistle, when City [...]
Following the huge disappointment in the dying seconds of last season, Rio Ferdinand has sung the praises of the mentality of this squad to come back and have the title won in April. He claims that lesser teams might have been damaged by the impact of losing the title, as Liverpool were in 2008-2009. That [...]
Whilst it was last night’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa that won Manchester United the title, it was Manchester City’s collapse against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday that put us in a position to win the title. Having gone 1-0 up and lead most of the game, their 3-1 defeat ensured United needed just three points [...]
On Manchester City’s official YouTube channel, Micah Richards was filmed singing Michael Carrick’s chant, “hard to believe it’s not Scholes, it’s Carrick, you know.” As City boarded the train to London from Stockport, ahead of their game against Chelsea today, Richards unashamedly sang the United chant 4 minutes and 30 seconds in. Top red.
The last time we played City at Old Trafford we lost 6-1. In a bid to make amends for last season’s embarrassment, United have bossed the league this season, going 15 points clear and putting City back in our shadow. All that talk of the blue moon rising and the power shift in Manchester has [...]
After missing out on the title and finishing on the same points as City last season, United have run away with it this season, going in to derby day with the potential of going 18 points clear. After beating City away from home, as well as picking up wins against the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, [...]
1. Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea, (1-1 AET, United win on penalties), European Cup Final, 2008 You probably remember how this one went, so rather than retell a familiar story, let’s take the time to smash one myth about this game: Chelsea were in no way unfortunate to go into the shootout having not already won [...]
You would imagine that Sir Alex Ferguson will channel all the frustration from Tuesday’s unjust result against Real Madrid in to Sunday’s Cup game against Chelsea. Our opponents also lost in Europe this week but their players seem far more resigned to losing than ours this season. Still, in one off cup games, with both [...]
Last week Roberto Mancini comically claimed that United had been lucky this season, as they had won games they didn’t deserve to, whilst City had dropped points in games they deserved to win. On RoM we addressed this comment, pointing out the difference between United and City wasn’t anything to do with luck, but our [...]
“We don’t need to give away stupid plastic flags to our fans to wave, our supporters are always there with their hearts and that is all we need. Its the passion of the fans that helps us to win matches, not flags. Chelsea fans lack passion.” I’m sure at the time these words raised his [...]
It was interesting to see Roberto Mancini claim that United’s 15 point lead was down to being “lucky”. “Until now, United have been really lucky with everything, they have won a lot of games in the last minute – like against us when they really didn’t deserve to win,” Mancini told reporters. Of course, the [...]
Four years ago we enjoyed one of the most important title races in years. United and Liverpool were going head to head, with United looking to equal Liverpool’s record of 18 titles, whilst Liverpool were trying to put themselves two clear of United. Ahead of their game against Stoke City, Rafael Benitez famously brought a sheet [...]
Half an hour before kick-off yesterday, look what one of the most used words from people in Liverpool was on Twitter. Typical.
“Giggsy 12, Gerrard 0,” our fans have taken to singing recently, pointing out the massive gulf in quality between our living legend and theirs. Liverpool haven’t won the league since 1990 meaning that Steven Gerrard doesn’t have a Premier League winners medal. In contrast, Giggs has so many he loses them and stumbles across them [...]
