United’s wingers under scrutiny

David Moyes will be weighing up the merits of the players in his newly inherited Manchester United squad, with some changes in personnel expected this summer. The Scot will surely want to bring in a player or two of his own, and there may well be some exits from Old Trafford over the course of [...]

2012-2013: A dull season?

2012-2013: A dull season?

It is said that Manchester United is a soap opera. Even so, that’s still one heck of a script writer. Whilst the 2012/13 season at one stage might have been suspiciously eyed as an on-going duller affair than usual fare; consider this. In just a 55 week spell we had a league all but won, [...]

Cole: I wish I stayed at United

Cole: I wish I stayed at United

The news that we had signed Robin van Persie last summer took me back to almost 20 years ago when I found we’d bought Andy Cole. Having scored 41 goals in 45 games the season before for Newcastle and 15 goals in 27 games by January of 1994-1995, he was the most exciting striker in [...]

Following the departure of Mike Phelan and Eric Steele, rumours were rife that Rene Meulensteen had also left the club after rejecting the new position offered by David Moyes.

How did Mourinho get on last time he was at Chelsea?

How did Mourinho get on last time he was at Chelsea?

Manchester United ran away with the league last season but probably didn’t receive the praise they deserved. Our dominance was explained away by the poor competition the other teams offered. There’s no denying that other teams should have pushed us more than they did, with City and Chelsea bowing out of the race months before [...]

Rio: United fans are the best in the world

Rio: United fans are the best in the world

Manchester United have today announced that Rio Ferdinand will have a testimonial on August 9th against Sevilla. It seems strange timing, given that the player marked his 10th year at the club last summer, having signed for United in July 2002. You would think he either should have had it last year or planned to [...]

A Seventies favourite: Remembering Brian Greenhoff (1953-2013)

A Seventies favourite: Remembering Brian Greenhoff (1953-2013)

In our coarsened times there’s often a dismissive ‘show us yer medals’ mentality when assessing the contributions of former players to Manchester United, especially those that played in periods of struggle and failure. On that measure it has to be admitted that Brian Greenhoff can hardly compete with today’s stars, some of whom have honours [...]

Luis Suarez – He’s just not right in the head

Racial abuse Truth: Luis Suarez called Patrice Evra “negro” during a game between Liverpool and Manchester United. Suarez admitted that he called Evra this but insisted that he meant it in a “conciliatory” way. Independent language experts confirmed that “negro” wasn’t always used as a racist insult in Uruguay and that it could be used [...]

RoM Season Review

The weeks following the end of the 2011-2012 season were amongst some of the most frustrating in my life. Having given up on the title before the final day of the season, we were teased with the likelihood of achieving the impossible and clawing it back from our rivals. Our game finished and we were [...]
