Ferguson called off his annual goal tally bet with our Portuguese winger this season, saying “I will not be attempting to bet anything with Cristiano this season unless it is 50 goals,” he laughed. “Somehow I don’t think he would accept that.” Just over half way through the season, with Ronaldo enjoying the form he [...]
The debate over how the Busby Babes should be remembered on February 10th has been going on for some weeks now. City have asked for the plans of a minute’s silence to be scrapped, following fears some of their fans will show up the club, singing vile chants. The United faithful have pushed for the [...]
Sir Alex Ferguson is not a man known for his forgiving nature, with many a player finding himself transferred for getting on the Scot’s bad side. His wrath isn’t exclusive just to players though, or even the fans who got slated on New Year’s Day, but to the media as well. BBC left Fergie seething [...]
Former bitter, Tony Coton, has done a cracking job as Manchester United goalkeeper coach over the years, but was forced in to retirement due the medical grounds last month. The lead to speculation that Edwin Van der Sar, who isn’t getting any younger, was due to take over his role. Kuszczak has been decent enough [...]
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 [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo is just six goals short of his impressive goal tally last season, flying high on the domestic stage as well as in the Champions League. He tops the highest scorer board in both competitions, firmly staking his claim for the top accolades next season after losing out to Kaka this year. He has [...]
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 [...]
Arsenal moved back to top of the table yesterday after beating Everton 4-1, a scoreline which flatters the Gunners. Wenger’s men went a goal down, but fought back to get the three points. Replays show that the crucial goal which put Arsenal in the lead, deflating Moyes’ players, was handled by Eduardo before it found [...]
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 [...]
The Everton vs Arsenal game has just kicked off and I can’t think of a better inspiration they have to win after hearing United lost 2-1 against West Ham. The final whistle blew at Upton Park minutes before the game in Merseyside started, Anton Ferdinand scoring the equalising goal against his brother’s team. In the [...]
Following United’s away defeat to Bolton, who previously had been massively struggling, the press had a field day slating United. “Is this really the strongest Manchester United squad in Sir Alex Ferguson’s time at Old Trafford, as he recently claimed?” Steve Tongue from The Independent questioned. “A United team not up for a scrap? Surely [...]
Wayne Rooney lead our team out as captain in our last European qualifying game against Roma. As will be sung tomorrow, it is a case of “once a blue always a red” for Wayne Rooney, who seems destined to see out his career with us. Despite the criticism Rooney faces for his hot head and [...]
This time last year, Manchester was buzzing with talk of Henrik Larsson joining United. Just a few months previous, Larsson had made all the difference to Barcelona, assisting both their goals in the European Cup final win over Arsenal. When news first broke that he was on his way to Old Trafford, it felt like [...]
Last season, the rivalry which has been developed over the years between United and Arsenal appeared to be disappearing. With two fourth place finishes from Arsenal, they were no longer our title rivals. The players who we’d grown to hate over the years, Vieira, Keown, Ashley Cole and Pires, to name a few, were no [...]
