A Draw At The Emirates, Just What We Deserved?

Before kick off today, I would have gladly taken a point from the Emirates. As the full time whistle went, I’m still more than happy with a draw. Not as happy as the Arsenal players and fans with were a draw though, it has to be noted. I suppose we should be used to teams [...]

The Biggest Hypocrite in English Football

My write up on Liverpool’s lucky result on Saturday, in reference to our “luckiest team in the Premiership” title, caused quite a stink with the dippers. If the comments I deleted are anything to go by, to hate Liverpool and show amazement at a referee who so blatantly threw a match, means I’m secretly frightened/jealous [...]

Liverpool Do What They Do Best

Manchester United were branded the “luckiest team in the league” in a recent poll announced a few weeks back. Whilst I will definitely admit we’ve had our share of good luck over the years, the pot has definitely been drying up in recent times, with referees too gutless to give the right decision for fear [...]

Result: Van Persie Out For United Match

In the week preceding Sunderland versus Arsenal, Roy Keane had time to reflect on the good old days, when the United-Arsenal rivalry was given centre stage in the Premiership. The title went back and forth between Old Trafford and Highbury, with many a great game in the FA Cup, resulting in excrutiating losses and emphatic [...]

Gerrard Goes Too Far

Steven Gerrard sensationally claimed in his autobiography that he wanted Manchester United to die, highlighting the hatred there is between the two clubs. His hatred is somewhat of a recent hobby though, when as a lad, he ran about the fields of Merseyside proudly wearing a United shirt with Robson’s name and number on the [...]

What If Rooney Grabbed The Red Card?

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 [...]

Chin Up Mourinho

Peter “United for life” Kenyon spoke to the press the day before yesterday, claiming that Jose Mourinho was key to Chelsea’s success. Kenyon said he saw in Mourinho the winning streak he’d seen in Sir Alex, and believed Chelsea were lucky to have a man so hungry for success in charge of the team. As [...]

Liverpool Guilt In Heinze Tapping Up Is Icing On The Cake

If Heinze’s move to the dippers had been cleared this summer, it would be a pretty humiliating situation for United. We’d made it known how much we loved the player, and to see him wearing the red of the scum week in week out would have been a lot to stomach. As soon as Heinze [...]

What Were You Saying, Terry?

Two weeks ago, Manchester United were five points behind Chelsea, and being ruled out of retaining their title already. Alan Hansen said the title certainly was not won in the first month of the season, but it certainly could be lost. John Terry spoke out about United’s situation before August had even ended, saying, “Five [...]

Fergie: Let’s All Laugh At City

I was one of the lucky 2,000 reds who got to sit in the away end at the Council House last May. We were on the brink of winning the league, and the excitement of picking up the vital three points at City’s place was high. We walked in to the ground, to be met [...]

Why United Have Nothing To Fear

Manchester United were deservedly victorious against Chelsea in the weekend’s meaningless Community Shield. Whilst the press and Jose Mourinho will be keen to tell you the injuries were to blame, it might do us all some good to look at things realistically. Chelsea struggle without John Terry, which we witnessed last season, but this is [...]

What A Difference A Shirt Makes…

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 [...]

Chelsea Were Better Really, Honestly, They Were

There are some things which you can now guarantee will happen in the Premiership season. Ronaldo will get booed wherever he plays, Mourinho will make a fool out of himself in the papers, Liverpool will claim that this is their season, City will only sell out their ground on derby day, and Newcastle will have [...]

Unless you’re playing Man United, the council house is never full

City have a habit of surprising us, and pulling results out of the bag which you’d never expect. Last season there was the crushing 3-1 at their place, and the 1-1 at Old Trafford, which we easily could have lost with minutes to go when Andy Cole almost buried the ball in the back of [...]

Who’s Lucky Jose?

Jose Mourinho, the man who would like to think he is the master of mind games, attempted to rile Sir Alex Ferguson yesterday. With the gap at the top being cut down to three points after our defeat to Portsmouth, Mourinho has said we’re lucky not to play them at the Bridge next weekend. “United [...]
