With five games left to play, our dismal season is as good as over with not even a whiff of a trophy to show for it. Not that we’ve done much to deserve any silverware this season. It has, by Manchester United’s recent standards, been a season of far too … Continue reading
After our 1-1 draw with Bayern in the first leg, David Moyes has probably come in for criticism and praise in equal amounts from the United fans. After eight days of thinking about it, I’ve arrived at the conclusion that Moyes played a blinder. As I said after the match, … Continue reading
Whilst the Moyes Mantra has been “one game at a time” all season, I have no doubt that most of his thoughts going into this game will be on the far more important game we have in midweek against Bayern Munich. Expect to see several changes to the line-up and … Continue reading
It has now been a few days since our match against Bayern Munich. In the interim, I have started to write three or four different articles on what happened but have failed to complete any of them. The problem I’m having is that what we saw on Tuesday night has … Continue reading
For all David Moyes’ travails this season, a Quarter Final appearance in Europe’s premier competition represents our best showing for three seasons and, for that, he should be applauded.

Many years ago, the comedian Harry Enfield created a character called “Tim Nice-But-Dim”. As the name suggests, Tim was an inoffensive and likeable chap but lacking between the ears. The more I see and hear of David Moyes, the more I see comparisons with Enfield’s creation. In a column published … Continue reading
One of the worst aspects of this whole “David Moyes as United Manager” thing is the fact that it was the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson who seemingly hand-picked him for the job. Yesterday, the equally legendary Sir Bobby Charlton said that he was still “absolutely certain that we picked the … Continue reading
In the build-up to this game, an interesting observation was brought to our attention that if the league were based on away results, we’d be at the top right now. Yes, we have gathered more points than any other team away from home this season. The rather sad flip-side to … Continue reading
David Moyes has been criticised (not least by myself) for a variety of reasons this season – the results, the performances, his negativity, his decisions (or lack thereof), the silly things he says to the media and for just … well… being David Moyes. You see, although we’re nowhere in … Continue reading
