Danny Welbeck. Homegrown talent proving himself

Manchester City are the newly crowned champions of the Premier League. But as much as it hurts, they deserve it. After being beaten at the Etihad, I knew our season was over but there was still hope within me. False hope, that is, which made it even more difficult to swallow. We had days like…

Tevez and his "R.I.P Fergie" sign

Carlos Tevez has reached new levels of immaturity tonight after holding up a sign which read “R.I.P Fergie” during the Manchester City victory parade. There is no hiding the fact Manchester United fans hate the Judas cunt but this is nothing short of disgusting. The smile on Tevez’ face shows that the Argentine probably doesn’t see…

Young and Hernandez

I am old enough to remember the scores on the final day of the season when City last won the league title. City beat Newcastle 4-3 and we suffered a 2-1 defeat to Sunderland at Old Trafford. However, I can’t remember exactly where I was on May 11, 1968 when the scores came through. Probably in a…

Following our 1-0 defeat to City at the Etihad on Monday night, Manchester United fans have their fingers crossed hoping City will wobble in their last two fixtures of the 2011/12 campaign. Roberto Mancini’s men are currently sitting on top with a far superior goal difference. With City’s final game of the season at home to…

Match Report: United 0-1 City



Written on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 by   in Match ReportsPremier League

A Vincent Kompany goal during first half injury time was enough for Manchester City to claim all  3 points against a massively below par Manchester United. In what was billed as the “title decider” City’s victory took them back to the top of the table on goal difference, with just two games remaining. Following the collapse at…

Owen Hargreaves

After Manchester United released Owen Hargreaves last summer the midfielder turned down various clubs to join our rivals City. Whether you kept the respect for him or not, it doesn’t matter. Hargreaves complained about the way our medical staff treated him, describing himself as some sort of ‘guinea pig’. According to the Guardian, Owen Hargreaves…

The old United boys could decide this title

O'Shea and Brown

The title is certainly ending up in Manchester this year, but with which club is still yet to be determined, and it could be the old figureheads that ultimately decide the destiny – but it’s not who you think either! With United’s unexpected slip-up against Wigan Athletic, it has open the door just a crack…

Ryan Giggs

With City doing their best to throw the title race down the drain, Manchester United are eight points clear on top of the Premier League table and things are looking good. Mario Balotelli is doing a good job stirring the circus over at the Eithad and Roberto Mancini is losing the plot. Patrick Vieira, their…

Patrick Vieira thinking about that pass to Giggs

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…
