Football’s Last Gentleman

Rest in Peace Bobby Robson – football will always remember you.

The New Bellion…?

I sure hope not – Fergie brought him for his ‘potential’ and he sure looks like he has bags of ability – but will this young player who obviously has certain issues will he set Old Trafford alight and blossom into a fine player or disappear into football wilderness as that other young French footballer [...]

Owen…?!

Still in shock with this move – this is either a shrewd move or a massive gamble which may not pay off.  The gamble isn’t financial, after the player is free and probably on a pay as you play basis.  The gamble is that Fergie might be putting all his eggs in this one Owen [...]

Thanks for the memories…

United Miss Out On the Benz

Yesterday United fans hopes of signing up a truly potential world class player that can come in and fill the goal void that Ronaldo will leave came to end as Lyon agreed to sell their forward to Real Madrid.  Who will Fergi set his sights on now????

Who will Fergie Bring in?

Not these two?? Fergie rarely buys big outside the Premiership – when I say big I mean plus £25million big.  Not the daft 20 million on Hargreaves or 17 mill on nani -
Who can really replace Ronaldo? Well I think due to the fact that Fergie has now admitted he has been trying to persuade [...]

Good Luck and Adios

The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo will mark an end of a six year roller coaster whereby the young lad came to Old Trafford with high expectations and ended top of the world and living out all those expectations.  United in the end could not deny or no longer block Ronaldo’s urge to play for his [...]

Beaten!

Barca 2 – 0 Man Utd
United were well and truly outplayed tonight – theres no need to delve into what went wrong becaue if every United fan was honest with themselves it has not been a vintage United season.  Sure there has been signs of individual brilliance like Ronaldo’s fantastic goal against Porto and good [...]

Liverpool Blow It

Rafa Rafa – where is your rant now???  This is still early days but Liverpool’s recent form is not championship winning.  Rafa’s rant at Fergie has not served his team well with them dropping points left right and centre ever since.
Rafa does make strange decisions.  Yes Torres is not yet match fit, but taking Gerrard [...]

Sensational United Crush Chelsea

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Man Utd 3 – 0 Chelsea
After a poor first half of the season and then a badly disjointed performance against Derby, United fans could be forgiven to fear the visit of Chelsea to Old Trafford.  However, in the end it turned out that the Chelsea that turned up was a toothless one that lacked the [...]

Fifa World Club Champions 2008

2008 has been a vintage year for United – not quite as good as 1999 when United achieved the treble, but memorable nonetheless.  The 2008/09 season has not started as well as United supporters would of liked with United falling behind the pace set by arch rivals Liverpool.  However considering United are traditionally slow starters [...]

Old Foes to Meet Again

Friday’s Champions’ League drawing drew up some fascinating match-up’s.  Not least of all the Inter v Man Utd tie which will probably be the highlight of the round.
Chelsea meet back up with the “Tinkerman” in Raneiri’s Juventus, Benetiz goes face to face with his former club Real Madrid, and Wenger’s kids play Roma.
Most mouth-watering of [...]

Spurs Rocks The Gunners

Arsenal 4 – 4 Tottenham Hotspurs
I don’t normally report on league games other than those involving Man Utd – however the game the other night was simply incrediable in terms of drama and sheer entertainment.  As a neutral (well in the essence that I supported neither teams) – although with Arsenal being a potential challenger [...]

Rooney in Hot Form

Man Utd 3 – 0 West Brom
After Ronaldo spectacular season putting the rest of his team mates and especially Rooney totally in the shade, I always wondered what Rooney in form would look like.  After the England games and today I now remember.  The boy wants every ball, he shoots on sight and his performance [...]

Berba Breaks Duck In Denmark

Aalborg 0 – 3 Man Utd
Berbatov finally got his first goals for Man United in a game against a fiesty yet poor in quality team.  Really United should of won much more than 3 nil.
Rooney got United on their way with an excellent pass from Giggs.  Good thing to come out of the game is [...]

What is going Wrong at the Lane?

 
Is Ramos’ safe – I remember this time last year I was speculating on when Spurs would get rid of Martin Jol.  I actually have to ask myself why do I even show interest in this club – when there are all sorts of fun and games happening at St James’ Park.  Maybe its the [...]

Suspect Penalty Sends UTD on Their Way

 
 
 
 
 
 
Man Utd 2 – 0 Bolton
After dominating the game, United needed to be awarded a suspect penalty before the Reds could get off the mark against a resolute Bolton.  Fergie did the brave and correct thing by leaving Rooney on the bench and by the time he called him into action Wayne was raring to [...]

Share of the Spoils

Chelsea 1 – 1 Man Utd
After a quite downbeat week for United after the Merseyside defeat last weekend there were calls from Old Trafford for a reaction at the Bridge.  And for the first 20 minutes this was on view as United looked the more fluid team.  After a few good chances where United could [...]

Go Stoke!!!

After beating United last week – Liverpool has gone one step forward and after today’s 0-0 home draw against Stoke sends them two steps back.
Still this is early days – however except the performance against United last weekend, Liverpools’ other performances has required either Torres or more so Gerrard to save em.  Lets see how [...]

Liverpool Triumph over sorry United

Liverpool 2 – 1 Man Utd
After 3 minutes it looked like United was going to have a dream afternoon as Tevez shot United into the lead.  What followed what United fans do not want to witness again this season.  The complete lack of desire to fight and win the ball.  Van Der Sar had a [...]
