I sit writing this in Weatherspoons in Manchester, surrounded by buoyant Marseille fans. Having talked to a couple of them, there is a real belief among them that they are about to pull off a shock in the this Champions League 2nd leg encounter. The fact that United didn’t get an away goal in the [...]

No.19 is the goal for United this season and what a sweet achievement it would be. There is no team that will want to prevent it as much as Liverpool, however, as they look to prevent United from edging in front in title stakes. The defeat to Chelsea meant that Arsenal had the opportunity to [...]
They don’t get much bigger than this. Chelsea versus United has been one of the biggest club games in football since the Russian invasion to London and this one is no exception. Well, there is one difference; Chelsea are essentially out of the title race and in poor form. Having said this, they are still [...]
United take on Man City this weekend in what is the biggest Manchester Derby in recent times. The fixtures against City are now seen as the biggest games of the season with City keen to announce their arrival as one of English football’s biggest forces and United looking to maintain their position of dominance over their [...]

Manchester United head into a potentially tricky away fixture against Southampton in the 4th round of the FA Cup this weekend without a few first team regualrs. Rio Ferdinand (groin), Rafael (concussion), Evra (family bereavement) and Van der Sar (rested) will all not make the trip which will mean that a make shift defence will [...]
United finally travel to Bloomfield Road after this fixture was postponed in early December due to bad weather. As they say it is better to have points in the bag than games in hand and it is good to finally play one of the two fixtures we have missed. United should be good value for [...]
United welcome Birmingham to Old Trafford this weekend as they look to kick on after the scoreless draw at White Hart Lane on Sunday. Not that this was poor result but we are somewhat reliant on our home form at the moment. We played some tidy stuff against Spurs but Fergie will be expecting a [...]
