Looking back on this seasonus horriblis, it was perhaps the 2-1 defeat West Brom inflicted upon us at Old Trafford towards the end of September that starting to set off the tiny tinkle of distant alarm bells. “Just a blip”, we told ourselves. “Bound to happen”. “Even under Fergie we … Continue reading
I’ve been watching Manchester United for several decades now and, during that time, I’ve witnessed some dire, dire performances but last night’s debacle against Olympiacos must easily be in the top five or even top three worst performances that I can remember. It wasn’t just that we lost the match. … Continue reading
Much has been made (on this very site plus many other places) of the fact that David Moyes has somehow managed to make the reigning Premier League Champions look extremely ordinary in the Premier League this season. At this stage, a fifth placed finish would seem to be as high … Continue reading

David Moyes is sitting at his desk when there’s a knock on the door and in walks Ed Woodward. Ed Woodward: Morning Dave! How are you today? [Ed Woodward stops as he sees David Moyes who is playing with an old Subbuteo set on his desk, mumbling to himself as … Continue reading
Down the years, we established something of a reputation for scoring late, late goals. So many times those goals converted a point into three, a defeat into a draw, salvaged a cup tie or even put us through. A couple way back in 1999 won us the biggest prize of … Continue reading
