Darron Gibson on Twitter

Last weekend saw a flurry of headlines about Darron Gibson and how he signed up to Twitter but then was hounded off it 2 hours later due to a minority of Manchester United fans giving him stick. My instinct would be to believe that this is not the real reason he left. Yeah the part with him [...]

Berbatov Does the Godfather

Berba is not known for his impersonations skills, until now…

What a performance last night, with one hand on the Premier League trophy and one foot in the Champions League final the season finale is shaping up nicely. Watching the game last night here’s a few thoughts I had…… 1. Bye Bye Michael It seems highly likely that Owen will be on his way out [...]

It has been a long time since a strike partnership has excited me as much as the Hernandez-Rooney axis. United has had its fair share of excellent striker combinations down through the years too.

Well….that could not have gone much better!! At 1.30 pm on Saturday afternoon things were looking grim. United were losing at Upton Park by a scoreline of 2-0 and Arsenal were due to welcome Blackburn Rovers to the Emirates later on in the afternoon in a game which had “home win” written all over it.

It was painful, shambolic and wildly frustrating. United were well and truly beaten at Anfield yesterday and in truth, there can be no real complainsts. Well, there can be one: Jamie Carragher should have seen red for his outrageously bad tackle on Nani. If he had walked, it could have been a different game, yes. [...]

Few current United players evoke such passionate and differing views from fans as Darron Gibson. There are those who don’t rate him at all and those who think he has great potential and isn’t far off. I have to admit that I am one of those who has been critical of Gibson, following some abject [...]

Nani – The Best is Yet to Come

by Dave on February 16, 2011

in Football in general

There is no doubting that Nani is a very talented player and has made a huge contribution to Manchester United this year. He has scored some important goals and pitched in with plenty of assists too. Saying that he is definitely the most frustrating player on the team in my opinion. He will skin his [...]
