Following his goal against the “wee club in the north,” some Manchester United fans have reopened the rumor of Leighton Baines joining – but there is no need for that. The Everton left-back hit an absolute screamer in their 2-1 win over Newcastle United, but there are few reasons we do not need him at…

Referee Report: A look at Martin Atkinson during the Manchester Derby

City v United at the Etihad on Sunday was what football, and English football in particular, is all about. That is no sideways reference to the foolish actions of a handful of mead-sotted fans, either. Joe Hart and Carlos Tevez, the latter surprisingly, as he had pettily lashed out at Phil Jones hind quarters just…
Everyone remembers their first away game, the sights, smells, sounds and the violence. Mine was Leeds in 1978/79. I was sixteen and had been going to home games on the Wakefield/Dewsbury supporters branch bus with five mates from school. Our parents were quite strict and because of the trouble that followed United around the country…
United 3-1 Braga: Reds brighten up, once someone turns lights back on

From the team sheet we can see that Ferguson planned to rest a couple of players tonight. Valencia drops back to give Rafael a night off which some might say slightly weakens the defence with the Ecuadorian not being a natural right back, but I’ve got to say I think it’s a good choice giving the…
Since the latest signings were made during the summer, fans alike wondered what system Sir Alex Ferguson would play. Shinji Kagawa and Robin van Persie didn’t only promise selection headaches but gave the manager opportunities to try different tactics. Manchester United as a football club is associated with fast wing play and scoring goals. We…
Explanation: It’s Never Their Fault
Written on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 by Guest Writer in Rant, Rivals
“Always the victims, it’s never your fault” is a chant you hear United fans bellow week in week out from the terraces and the origins stem from a variety of sources, Hillsborough not included. However a few journalists who write for some one the UK’s larges publications seem unable to note this, instead lazily linking…

Following an easy win over Wigan last Saturday, Manchester United hope to continue their scoring ways on a trip to Anfield when Liverpool play their first home fixture since the Hillsborough files were revealed.

Reserves Report: United 4 – 1 Bury
Written on Thursday, September 20, 2012 by Guest Writer in Youths
Manchester United opened up the defence of the Mancester Senior Cup with a convincing 4-1 win over Bury at Moss Lane. Bury opened the scoring after three minutes due to slack defending and a nice finish from Elford-Alliyu. The Reds responded in the 10th minute with a deflected shot from Pettrucci easily saved. It took…
Berbatov – Great player, wrong team
Written on Thursday, August 30, 2012 by Guest Writer in Opinion, Players, Transfer News
Dimitar Berbatov is one of the finest footballer I have seen live. His elegant touch and ability to keep the ball without trouble when surrounded by 3 or 4 players is a sight to see. I believe that he is the best in the world at what he does as he can seemingly walk the…
All you need to know about Ajax Cape Town
Written on Monday, July 16, 2012 by Guest Writer in Match Preview, Pre-season
Manchester United arrive in Cape Town at a difficult time for their hosts Ajax Cape Town. The club were founded in 1999 following the amalgamation of Seven Stars and Cape Town Spurs and the incorporation of the world-wide Ajax Amsterdam talent feeder network to South Africa.
