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 [...]

Roddick Puts Fiery Scot in His Place

Roddick raised his game to smash Murray out of a Wimbledon where typically the British press yet again over hype the prospects.  With Nadal out this year, and Murray’s form at the best its ever been there was surely good foundation for the hype.  However, Roddick was having none of it.  The cool American brought [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Feds Returns

After what I must admit was an impressive win over Nadal – Our Scottish friend Murray faced what I percieve as the best player ever in Roger Federer.  This was the best I have seen Murray play – but he met with Federer at the top of his game.  There was no getting past him [...]
