I really don’t know where to start. For twenty-plus years, we have been extremely consistent. It hasn’t mattered greatly how Fergie rotated his squad, the performance levels never dropped drastically. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d say that we regularly hit 7s and 8s and that was usually … Continue reading
With almost a third of the season behind us, the Premier League tables, after one of the weirdest starts in years, is now starting to take on a more familiar shape. Arsenal, Chelsea and City occupy the top three places but there’s a name missing from that leading pack – … Continue reading
I’ve no idea who he is but he looks quality…
I got our midweek match against Bayer completely wrong. Forced into making drastic changes due to injuries and suspensions, David Moyes by accident or design happened upon one of the most effective formations and line-ups ever seen as we utterly destroyed Bayer 5-0 on their home turf.

The display here wasn’t entirely awful but as an example of everything that’s wrong with United at the moment, it did the job quite well. As expected, with Carrick out injured, Moyes had no choice but to go with Fellaini and Cleverly in midfield. Against a team who were playing … Continue reading
About twenty years ago, I was working on a children’s ward in a hospital in Bangor, North Wales. It was a good time to be a Manchester United fan working on a children’s ward in Wales. You see, we had this young lad called Ryan Giggs in the team and … Continue reading
I was going to write a review of our 1-0 victory over Arsenal for this post but, as it happened, that result became even more significant due to results elsewhere. With managerial changes at City, Chelsea and United (the best three teams in the league for the last few years) … Continue reading
This is without doubt the biggest game of our season so far. Since their opening day defeat at the hands of Aston Villa, Arsenal have unstoppable and currently sit at the top of the table by a clear five points and eight points above us. There’s obviously a long way … Continue reading
