“There is a massive difference in money but we have better fans than United.” I don’t know whether I’d describe the difference as ‘massive’, but yes, Rafael Benitez has spent more money than Sir Alex Ferguson.
Are Giggs And Neville Right About Footballers’ Salaries?
October 15, 2009 69 Comments
Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs have both surprisingly spoken out about the controversial issue of football players earning every penny of their astronomically large salaries. When the starting salary for a nurse is £20k a year, a teacher is £21k a year and a police officer is £22k a year, it’s hard to argue that [...]
What’s Wrong With United??
October 7, 2009 110 Comments
The Evening News asked ‘what’s wrong with United?‘ yesterday, claiming we weren’t firing on all cylinders. It’s odd because United usually start the season so well…
‘Nerdy’ Berbatov Has Brilliant Attitude & Fans Should Love Him
October 2, 2009 125 Comments
I have fought Dimitar Berbatov‘s corner since he joined Manchester United and came under criticism from our own fans as much as elsewhere. I saw enough in him to stick my neck out and acknowledge that whilst he wasn’t scoring as much as we’d hoped, he was class and we needed to give him time. [...]

Just How Far Will We Have To Travel This Year Compared To Chelsea and Liverpool?
August 28, 2009 20 Comments
Whilst avoiding German champions Wolfsburg would have been favourable, in terms of difficulty we managed to avoid some of the tougher teams in the Champions League draw. Sir Alex Ferguson reckons we’ve got the toughest group of all English teams though because of the distance we have to travel. So just how far are we [...]
“Kiko And Welbeck Not Good Enough Yet”
August 24, 2009 49 Comments
“Sir Alex Ferguson would have us believe he is quite happy with his squad going into their defence of their Premier League crown,” said Stan YSB Collymore. “Yet I still think United look a lot weaker than last term following the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck, as I [...]

Some Bits And Bobs From The Season

The Guardian kindly sent me their review for the football year ahead, The Season. Here are the best bits:
So They’ll Have To Play Against 11 Men Next Season…?
August 4, 2009 101 Comments
Xabi Alonso is a great footballer but for some unknown reason Rafael Benitez has never seemed desperate to retain his services. For a couple of seasons there has been talk of Alonso joining Real Madrid and it’s always seemed absurd to me that the FSW has been so nonchalant it. Last summer he was seriously [...]
Carlitos’ Dreadful Miscalculation – He Played More Than Robinho!
July 14, 2009 187 Comments
Manchester City’s new signing, who said he ‘gave his life for the United shirt‘, claimed he was leaving for football reasons. The fact that City are prepared to pay £150,000-a-week for a player who was on £90,000-a-week at United did not factor in to Tevez’s decision, he claims. It wasn’t a move about money rather [...]
Why Do All These Deluded Scousers Believe FSW’s Lies?
July 1, 2009 78 Comments
Rafael Benitez’s ‘facts’ episode was a source of much amusement for Manchester United fans last season, given that the opinions he was insisting were facts were nothing of the sort. Another of Benitez’s lies is that Manchester United spend more money than Liverpool FC in the transfer market. Sir Alex Ferguson corrected Benitez at the [...]
We Often Score Six But We Seldom Score Ten…?
June 18, 2009 29 Comments
We are just one of those teams that you see now and then. We often score six but we seldom score ten. How true is that?
Would We Want Linked Arsenal Striker At United?
June 18, 2009 82 Comments
Robin van Persie is one of those nasty Dutch bastards who you love when they play for you and hate when they play against you. Whilst I can understand why rival fans wouldn’t like him too much, I’ve always really rated him. It’s rare that I have such a high opinion of a rival team’s [...]

May 17, 2009 29 Comments
We all know how many more trophies than Liverpool we won this season but how many more games have we had to stretch ourselves over to win the league early?
