Giggs, Rooney, Ronaldo & Carrick: This Feels Great!

Manchester United claimed their 10th title in 16 years yesterday, the 17th in the clubs’ history. Whilst most United fans had previously been confident of retraining the title earlier than the last day, the excitement, nerves and satisfaction that came with winning it after the final game of the season certainly made up for it.

United And Liverpool’s Spending The Same…But Success So Different

£34 million. That’s the difference in spending between Manchester United and Liverpool over the past ten years, averaging out at little more than £3 million a season. Whilst United have spent £298 million in the transfer market, an average of £29-£30 million a year, the dippers have spent £264 million, an average of £26-£27 million [...]

Mikel Has Got To Regret It

The John Obi Mikel transfer saga was one of the most ridiculous events we’ve seen in Premiership football. He signed a deal with United, then went missing, came on Sky Sports News saying he’d been forced to sign (despite being all smiles in a United shirt at the press conference) and wanted to play for [...]

He’s Won It 10 Times – Giggsy and Fergie

When United won the league last season, I was made up to find a clip on YouTube of the dressing room celebrations from our lads. They soaked each other with champagne and sung the fans’ songs, and generally just looked delighted. Sir Bobby Charlton milled around, watching the celebrations. “He’s won it nine times, he’s [...]

What Has Anderson Done Wrong?

Anderson is certainly the brightest prospect on United’s books and a fans’ favourite after just one season at the club. Yet the past month he has taken a clear backseat in our success. Starting against Chelsea, in a game where Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he played a weakened team to ensure our place in the [...]

CHAMPIONEES!

Manchester United, Premier League Champions again. Whilst in hindsight, United could have drawn 0-0 today, it felt like it was Ryan Giggs’ goal that made us Champions today. After the stick he’s (rightly) endured over the past few months, it is magical for him to score our second goal. Everything about United feels like it’s [...]

Today’s The Day – Can We Do It?

I write this before leaving for the pub on a glorious Mancunian day. Blue skies, the sun is shining…and I feel sick. A whole season’s work comes down to today. All the goals and saves and tackles and passes and fouls come down to this one day. Everything that has gone before, right back to [...]

Ronaldo At United For As Long As Fergie Is

Cristiano Ronaldo has had a superb season. Looking back over our recent period of general domination, I struggle to think of a player who has been as effective for the team as Ronaldo has been this term. This of course means he is linked with a move away from the club on a fairly regular [...]

United Players Would Sacrifice Anything For The Team

Manchester United fans can be guilty of having a certain snobbery when it comes to loyalty players from other teams show to their clubs. Recent examples of Ashley Cole stabbing his boyhood club in the back for the money and promise of success at Chelsea, as well as Steven Gerrard handing in two transfer requests [...]

Winning The League On Goal Difference Takes Away From Success?

If Manchester United match Chelsea’s result this weekend, whether that is win, lose or draw, we will win the league by goal difference alone. We currently have a difference superior by 17 goals, thanks to our great scoring and defensive records. Whilst Ronaldo has stolen most of the headlines this season, there has still been [...]

Why Are Chelsea Questioning Wigan’s Integrity? Look At Bolton!

Following a week where so much press attention has focussed on whether Wigan will put up a fight against United on Sunday, Ferguson has fought back. Several Chelsea players have been putting pressure on Wigan to do their job and show up against the Champions in the crucial final game of the season, however today, [...]

Yet Even More Desperation From Chelsea

Earlier in the week I looked at how desperate Chelsea players were starting to look as the final day of the season gets closer. United just need to match or better Chelsea’s result against Bolton on Sunday to claim the league, so are certainly favourites to win the title. However, Chelsea players are keen to insist [...]

You’re Not Special Anymore! The Decline of Jose Mourinho In Full

I remember distinctly reading the newspaper on the morning of our opening game of the 2004-2005 season and feeling utterly disheartened. For a United fan, the first day of the season had always been one filled with so much hope, regardless of what we’d won the season before. If we hadn’t won the league, I’d [...]

New United Shirts Revealed

It’s that time of year again. The trophies are dished out, United are linked to every player going, and new kits are “leaked” on the net. Well, no trophies yet, and I’m not getting too excited about our potential targets, so here are pictures of potentially our new away kit next season.

Desperate Chelsea Players Put Pressure On Wigan

A win at the JJB stadium for United this weekend will secure our status and Champions. With Wigan having nothing to play for and being managed by former United captain, Steve Bruce, the nerves are starting to get to Chelsea. John Terry was the first to speak out, attempting to appeal to Wigan’s better nature, [...]
