Month: April 2007

I’m avoiding the ‘common’ news today – so if you’re looking for commentary on what Mourinho is saying about Ronaldo or what Rafa is saying about Mourinho, you’ll have to…

“United are in a much better situation but we know if we take nine points from our last three games and United lose six points then we’ll be okay. It’s…

When Michael Carrick first came to Manchester United, there was a lot of criticism. He couldn’t tackle or shoot, and we didn’t need a short-passer to replace the midfield general…

Ed Harrison from the Newcastle United blog reports that Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp has reportedly launched a move to sign Fabricio Coloccini from Deportivo La Coruna.

A quick look at today’s top headlines:

Well, you can’t say United don’t have heart – actually, while this win has been a gift from Ian Turner and Phil Neville, credit to the side for the way…

The daily news update was missing yesterday as I plunged headfirst into (un)wittingly offending legions of fans from Manchester City, Newcastle and Chelsea. Spurs and Arsenal fans jumped in too…

Among other interesting news, is this one from Shevchenko, who adds his two cents (or 30 million pounds?) to the, now ever so tiring, debate on great players.

I know most Newcastle fans (at least the ones we hear from) may not be too fond of Freddy Shepherd and the job he has done for nearly 10 years…

It’s hard not to laugh at Jose Mourinho’s comments, and it’s equally hard not to get angry at them. He has, single handedly, managed to piss off more people than…

David James has many nicknames; ‘Calamity James’ is the most famous, but with his frequent hairstyle changes titles such as ‘the man with the afro plan’, ‘ginger afro’ and other…

How do you introduce a new blog about a club you enjoy making fun off?

No, I haven’t gone away – just changed the timings. I’ll be putting out the headlines in the evening so as to catch all the news (earlier, doing the piece…

Okay, both managers have started, mainly Mourinho with his comments saying in short Liverpool have 1 competition to play for while Chelsea have 4 (well 3 more) and this is…

I don’t need to tell you how great last night’s game at Old Trafford was. The early goal, the second-half comeback, Scholesy’s audacious flick – perhaps his only meaningful contribution…

The season’s coming to an end and for Newcastle, it couldn’t come any sooner. Even the valiant draw against Chelsea was bittersweet – the squad’s fight tempered with the realisation…

Champions League semi finals today and tomorrow, so luckily we’ll be spared the usual riff-raff on fake transfers and what not.

Manchester United may be chasing 3 finals, but their first big game is tonight. Knowing that an English team will be waiting for them in the final should be a…

At the beginning of the season, I wrote an article on the upcoming La Liga campaign, weighing up the chances of Barcelona retaining their crown. I argued that Real Madrid’s…

Follow Milan v Manchester United live online here. As the day approaches, the semi final between Milan and Man United that is, it is very tempting for people around to…

An excellent roundup of today top headlines – no Arsenal news thankfully as Arsene Wenger goes in search for David Dein successor and Stan Kroenke tries to grab more Arsenal…

Jose Mourinho has an interesting way of attracting attention. It works, there’s no doubt about that, but it leaves a distinctly bad taste in the mouth.

If Saturday was bad, Sunday was the pick-me-up Manchester United needed. Cristiano Ronaldo won the double, 8 United players are in the PFA team of the year and yes, Chelsea…

The PFA Awards were, quite frankly, crap and boring (even though they had 8 United players in their team of the season). So let’s pick our own team – but…

Newcastle United 0-0 Chelsea, St James Park, 22 April 2007 Newcastle fans weren’t expecting much out of this game; shoddy defending all season has let them down more than they…

Finally! Evidence that homosexuality is rampant in football! David James is going to be so proud of me…

Oh hell… Saturday was a bad day for Manchester United everywhere. We drew 1-1 with Middlesbrough at Old Trafford. We lost Rio Ferdinand to a groin injury, the same injury…
