Dangermen: 24 hours with Daniel Levy



Written on Saturday, September 29, 2012 by   in For the laughMatch Preview

Last weeks column was roundly critisced by Liverpool fans who mistakenly wondered onto Stretty News. They must have been confused by the name of the blog. So in an effort to reclaim some credability I have taken a different path for Dangermen this week. Spurs always produce a tricky fixture. The club has become a…

Liverpool away – The Dangermen



Written on Saturday, September 22, 2012 by   in For the laughPremier League

Dangerman is a new weekly colum from Furious John. If you’re easily offended, still believe in Santa Clause, or don’t have a sense of humour – then it’s probably best for you to go and read something else. Here we are already. The game I most despise. A game at Klanfield against a set of…

Southampton away – The dangermen



Written on Sunday, September 2, 2012 by   in For the laughMatch PreviewPremier League

This weeks challenge is that of Sourhampton. How many Manchester United fans can remember the awful away days at the Dell? An awfully intimidating ground where we suffered some terribly humiliating defeats. It was after our 6-3 defeat on October 26th 1996 that an incredible alliance was almost struck. The world of football rocked to…

Everton away – The dangermen



Written on Friday, August 17, 2012 by   in For the laugh

In previous seasons I would have picked Tim Cahill without hesitation. He was great in the air and had a knack for “arriving late”. These two attributes were of course down to the tiny wings that he manages to conceal under his football shirt. Poor Tim was hatched by a migrating heron but was abandoned…

Furious Football Fury – The Hex



Written on Friday, May 11, 2012 by   in For the laugh

“I can take the despair. It’s the hope I can’t stand” has recently become to most quoted line from John Cleese in Clockwise, much repeated in recent weeks and it resonates with me so much. On the last day of the 2009/10 season I sat with my boys in the lounge, lego sprawled out in front of us…

Furious Football Fury – Magic of the FA Cup



Written on Friday, April 20, 2012 by   in For the laugh

Some people (all of them are devoid of sense) think the “magic” of the FA Cup died in 2000 when Manchester United were persuaded not to defend their trophy, but to go and compete for the World Club Cup in Brazil. That is bollocks. The magic of the FA Cup died in 1992, the year…

Furious Football Fury – Vieira needs a carer



Written on Wednesday, April 4, 2012 by   in For the laugh

Every year, on the 25th March a few friends gather together for dinner in a low quality restaurant and a good fucking moan about Manchester United. They might be complaining about the obvious favouritism that United get from officials, or maybe the fact that the Financial Fair Play was conceived to suit Glazernomics or perhaps…
