We’re inviting some of our Twitter friends to share some of their ‘Pre and Post Match’ thoughts with us from now on. You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets below their proper good ones…   Iwan (@IwanLehnert): No Carrick, Scholes or Giggs in the squad that flew out to Romania, then. Whatever Ferguson […]

I did not have a clue that that was Cleverley’s first ever goal for the club … how rubbish is he? Just messin’ wid yer. But seriously. Never. Scored. For. Us. Before. Sort it out ClevZ. Was very impressed with our yoof, okay VERY is a bit of an exaggeration in the context of the […]

  As we have come to expect around the time when the transfer window flaps open, we are once again inundated with speculation as to who will come in and fill the gaping holes in our midfield. We can surely expect at least one arrival to ease our midfield malaise. Did you here that David Gill? […]

From an objective point of view, this season football has nudged itself ever closer towards a warped manifestation of utopia. It has lunged violently between menacingly good and astonishingly bad, intermittently grotesque and overtly sentimental. Aesthetes of stats and figures, connoisseurs of footy ‘lols’, perpetuaters of intellectual discourse, bastions of good old fashioned tribalism have all been nourished from […]

Oi! Everything! Yeah, you Everything, I’m talking to you … pipe down at the back Something Else and you, Another Thing.  Put your hand down, this isn’t an open forum, or ruddy show and tell.  Look , Everything just stop happening for a one lousy second … thank you. Okay, now, I was doing this introduction to this post that […]

If you were asked to pick a player from the current United squad to duplicate eleven times, and then field in the next fixture, I think you’d be hard pushed not to choose Rooney. Vidic might get a few votes, but the referee would have a job keeping up with play, with the extra luggage […]

As United have apparently stumbled upon their early season lull a couple of months behind the expected schedule (or 10 months early, for those insisting we aren’t going to be having one this season), it’s only natural that collective fingers are prepared, sharpened, pointed, prodded and jabbed violently in the direction of the presumed culpable parties amongst the squad. In ‘failing’ to replace Scholesy […]

Well I’ve seen a lot of things while I’ve been blogging for Bifurcated…But I didn’t really expect to see that. The result does suggest City will be more of a problem than I personally gave them credit for at the start of the season. There is a marked improvement from last season. They actually feel […]

It was never going to be easy. We’ve hit a little trough, hampered by a few injuries and lost a bit of momentum. Anderson after promising much in some earlier games appears to be getting stuck in the same old habits of trying to do too much early and then tiring dramatically in the second […]

I knew I should have gone with a 3-1 predicton…everyone it seems on Twitter was thinking the same. It was a strange game. Someone recently said and I agree that actually it’s often the silly games that are more entertaining than the quality ones. Both teams showed their undoubted quality in patches but the games excitement […]
