Things are about to get interesting……

in Football in general

We are passed the half way mark and the business end of the season is fast approaching. There have been many twists and turns so far and now seems to be a good time to sit back and take stock.

It has been widely reported that United are facing into a tricky few weeks but I feel that we can approach these games with some optimism. The next 8 games will see us take on Liverpool (a), Stoke (h), Chelsea (a), Liverpool (h), Ajax (a), Ajax (h), Norwich (a), Spurs (h). There is also the possibility of an FA Cup 5th round tie sandwiched between the two games against Ajax if we overcome the scousers. [click to continue…]

This Premier League season has been one of the strangest in memory. There have been incredible scorelines right from the beginning of the campaign along with other bizarre developments and stories.  Last week saw the incredible return of Paul Scholes to the United match day squad, seemingly out of nowhere, for the FA Cup encounter with City.

Sunday’s FA Cup tie against our noisy neighbours saw the return of one of the greatest players ever to do the red jersey. Paul Scholes returned to Sir Alex’s Ferguson having been in retirement since the end of last season. If you read the articles in the press you read of a world class player who [...]

How Bad Are Things At United?

It is the nature of the media, particularly in Britain, to blow things out of proportion in order to sell papers. It is the culture in the industry and it is particularly prevalent in relation to football. When a team is winning, they are over-hyped and when a team is playing badly and losing, they are scorned [...]

Reflection on the Newcastle game

‘Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I’m very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.’ Bill Shankly’s famous quote couldn’t have been appropriate after this weekend as I think that’s how most United fans felt as the final whistle blew on [...]

There have been reports in the media this week that Sir Alex is considering off loading club captain Nemanja Vidic to Real Madrid this summer if the price is right. With the news that Rio Ferdinand is no longer considered an automatic first team choice we are looking at the very real possiblity that the watertight [...]

Sunderland and the Magic 25

I couldn’t really think of opponents more suitable than Sunderland on the 25th anniversary of Sir Alex Ferguson being appointed as the manager of Manchester United. A team managed by one of Ferguson’s early signings, a former captain and a man who lifted the Premier League trophy for the first time for our club. Not [...]

Alex Ferguson’s Worst Man United XI

Tom wrote last night on what he considers to be the Fergies best Man United Eleven. I have decided to take a different slant on it and give my opinion on Fergies worst XI! And when I say worst I mean so talent wise and therefore have excluded the likes of Veron and Forlan who undoubtedly never [...]

Fergie’s Best Man United Eleven

Sir Alex Ferguson celebrated twenty five years at the helm of Manchester United this week – a simply unbelievable feat. There may not be anybody like him again and it was fitting to see the North Stand renamed The Sir Alex Ferguson Stand. This club is forever indebted to the Scot, not only for the [...]
