Benno (@Benglorious) It’s all excitement and joy today in Bifurcated Towers as myself and Tom (the guy with the preview below mine that you always skip over to get to Brett’s little piece of insanity) are actually visiting the Theatre of Dreams in actual real life and stuff.  Apparently, the previews we write are for […]

Benno (@Benglorious) Coming off a defeat at home to Southampton last week, it’s easy to understand people’s frustrations starting to boil to the surface.  Van Gaal has, and has had from the start of his tenure, more leeway than the previous manager of Manchester United purely because of his outstanding achievements in the sport.  David […]

Benno (@Benglorious) Southampton are yet another of those teams that played Sunderland one day and stole their kits.  Seriously:  why do so many teams have the same kits?  I may be colour-blind, but even I know there’s enough colours in a set of Crayolas for every team to have a different colour shirt.  Southampton could […]

Benno (@Benglorious) Yeovil is a very interesting word, etymologically (check that this is the word one and not the insect one) speaking.  Yeo-Vil.  Anyone who’s everyone knows that “vil” stems from “ville” so it must mean “town“, and no-one who’s someone has seen Brian De Palma’s Scarface (1983) so we all know what “Yeo” has its roots in.  In summation; […]

Benno (@Benglorious) There’s two good things about not having an enforced winter break in the Premiership League:  Firstly, there’s lots of games in a short period of time; and twoly, in a short period of time there are a lot of games.  Unfortunately, there’s also two bad things about footballs during Christmas:  Onely, there’s far […]

Tom (@Tom_McGhee): I haven’t done one because I don’t work on Jesus Birthday but I’m sick of these two putting words in my mouth something something Optimus Prime something Star Wars something Nasri for Rooney. I don’t know why this is in bold band massive. Prediction: Font changes back to…smaller….Some goals are either scored or not scored […]

Tom (@Tom_McGhee): Having received a record number of complaints last week (Paul, Paul’s Dad) about how the previews have “lost their way”, this week will be a comprehensive analysis of both Southampton and United’s seasons so far. It won’t, obviously, but since only Paul (and Paul’s Dad) are still reading at this point, at least […]

Benno (@Benglorious): Feeling better about myself tonight after missing out on the weekend’s shenanigans in Manchester.  This is purely down to Tom telling me “it was the worst weekend ever…. You’d have hated it… The football was rubbish… That Rantcast fella is a nasty piece of work”.  Thanks, mate. Stoke are the visitors to Old […]

  Benno (@Benglorious): There’s something interesting to be said about international breaks.  Not by me, though; I don’t get paid for that.  We’ve  just had a couple of weeks where England played somewhere between one and thirty games and probably won more than half of them.  That’s the thing about statistics, any idiot with fingers […]
