Not the usual news story but an argued point of view.
Following Sunday’s defeat to City, I still don’t feel able to express my views on the game or our players in a controlled manner without emotion overspilling and anger erupting, so excuse me for not going in to a great deal of detail where the match is concerned. However, in light of Arsenal’s victory over [...]
The news that United were facing Arsenal in the 5th Round of the FA Cup was met with a cheer over at RoM. If you want to show yourself as the best, then you have to beat the best of the rest, and with the home advantage, I really fancy taking on the Gooners. I’ve [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo has proved he is not just a one season wonder, smashing his form of last season, scoring 22 goals in the 24 games he’s played in. He’d scored 8 goals in as many games last season, in a year which saw him claim a clean sweep of the individual domestic player awards. He [...]
“Munich bastards!” a City fan shouted at my dad and me as we approached the council house for our game towards the close of last season. We’d just driven in to town, found a carpark close to the ground, and set off on the walk. Seemed like a fairly good idea at the time. It [...]
Reading striker, Dave Kitson launched a scathing attack on the FA Cup ahead of his team’s 3rd Round Tie against Tottenham Hotspur. “We are not going to win the FA Cup and I do not give two shits about it, to be honest with you,” he said. “I care about staying in the Premier League, as [...]
Following United’s boring 1-0 win over Birmingham last week, Sir Alex Ferguson laid in to the fans. “The atmosphere inside the ground wasn’t very good,” Ferguson said. “The crowd was dead. It’s the quietest I’ve heard them here. It was like a funeral, it was so quiet. We needed the crowd today. It’s all right [...]
I’m breaking the habit of a lifetime and writing two Fergie bashing articles in one day. Those of you who read this site regularly will know I am firmly on Ferguson’s side in most, if not all debates surrounding our knighted manager. I think the World of the fella, and in contrast to some United [...]
Manchester United picked up all three points against Birmingham yesterday, Carlos Tevez finishing off a beautiful move. The goal was remnant of that scored against Middlesbrough earlier this season, with Rooney and Tevez linking up perfectly. However, despite our superior attempts on goal and possession, the 1-0 scoreline might appear worrying for United fans, and [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo finally answered his critics last season when he proved that he did have ‘end product’ on top of his marvellously skill full feet. He shone last season, which is something even those who hate him cannot deny. The boos and whistles from every set of opposition fans we came across only inspired Ronaldo [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo was a revelation for United last season, sticking two fingers up at all the doubters and critics he’d had to deal with over the past few years. ‘No end product’ was the insult he faced the most, and to a certain extent, there was some truth to that. He’d mesmerise the opposition with [...]
Louis Saha signed for United for £12.8 million midway through the 2003/2004 season. He scored his first goal for us just eighteen minutes in to his debut, scoring our first in a 3-2 win over Southampton. The following week he scored two against Everton, his first coming on nine minutes, in a 4-3 victory at [...]
It was sheer boredom which allowed me to stumble across Rob Smyth’s damning report of Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United which was written last summer. Twenty days before United opened the 2006/2007 season with the memorable 5-1 battering of Fulham, United had been written off. Our decline was evident, according to the likes of [...]
The season before last, United had a dreadful season which was brought about because of several factors. Some of our players seemed to have lost their hunger, we had a ridiculous number of injuries, and Keano left us in the November. Following our week from hell, when we were battered 4-1 at the Riverside and [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve had a “favourite player”. By favourite, I mean the player who you defend until you’re blue in the face (regardless of their wrong doings), the player you could watch for hours on end, the player you admire and brag about in equal amounts. It seems a pretty childish thing [...]
United fans had to endure even more ridiculous criticism of our Portugese winger earlier this week when he was accused of diving against Fulham. The referee booked him after he went down in the penalty area. I’ve browsed a few football forums and how there is any debate on it is beyond me. As United [...]
