Ready To Wind Up The Dippers?

Before looking to see who we play on the opening or closing days of the season, before checking out when derby day is, before even thinking about when we play Arsenal or Chelsea, I want to know when we’re going to Anfield.

Fergie Had To Let Bruce Down Over Signing

Manchester United usually get all their business done long before the transfer deadline, so the stress that came with September 1st was rather foreign to us. Were we going to sign him?

Evra: I Did What I Had To For Heinze’s Place

It’s hard to think back to the time when Gabriel Heinze was a greatly loved member of our squad. He was a ferocious player who never shied away from tackles and loved to get stuck in. “ARGENTINA!” was the chant that would go around Old Trafford every time he put the ball, and the man, [...]

Are The FA Having A Laugh? Rio vs Barton

I am no stranger to starting rants targeted at the FA, for what I find to be increasingly unacceptable behaviour and rulings.

Following months of speculation, Dimitar Berbatov finally joined Manchester United, with our young striker, Frazier Campbell, begrudgingly going in the opposite direction.
