February 25, 2010 201 Comments
Wayne Rooney has had some early shouts for player of the season after going from strength to strength in front of goal, but how does he really compare with other strikers in the league?

February 21, 2010 71 Comments
Football has changed dramatically since the 1990’s. Whilst United have always prided themselves on their attacking football, the mentality that said you may score three but we will score four has gone.
We won the league by 18 points in the 1999-2000 season and conceded a massive 45 goals, an average of 1.2 goals per game. [...]
Aaron Ramsey Talking Nonsense
January 31, 2010 53 Comments
Aaron Ramsey has today claimed the reason why he joined Arsenal instead of United was because he was made to feel more wanted and he thought Wenger had brought through a lot more youngsters and given them a chance.
Given that he is a self-confessed Manchester United fan, you have to worry he knows so little [...]
Fergie: Wenger Let Himself Down With Fletch Comments
January 30, 2010 69 Comments
After Manchester United robbed Arsenal earlier in the season, thanks to poor judgement from Almunia and an own goal from Diaby, Arsene Wenger took his frustrations out on Darren Fletcher.
This season, Fletcher has committed fewer fouls than Song and Diaby, despite playing in more games, yet Wenger took the childish move of branding Fletch “anti-football”. [...]

January 17, 2010 150 Comments
After Sir Alex Ferguson’s comments that he has no regrets over Carlos Tevez leaving, many fans have compared the Argie’s strike rate this season at City with Dimitar Berbatov at United.
It wasn’t a case of buying Berbatov or buying Tevez, as the transfer money for Dimitar had already been paid whilst Tevez was on loan, [...]

Yesterday, Manchester City still hadn’t sold all their tickets for the League Cup semi-final which was due to be played the following day. On the Monday, it was announced that any season ticket holder or membership holder could purchase an additional two tickets.

Fernando Torres scored 50 league goals in just 72 games. Wow. Incredible. He is the only Liverpool to achieve such a feat.

STATS: Ronaldo vs Valencia
December 31, 2009 129 Comments
Before we get in to this, the comparison between Cristiano Ronaldo and Antonio Valencia isn’t supposed to prove who is the better player. Ronaldo was bought for £80m the same summer Valencia was bought for £16m, it’s all to obvious who the better player is.
However, it is interesting to see how Valencia is getting on [...]
