Berba

At Bifurcated we absolutely love Berba. Here’s our goodbye to him in the form of a kind of animated short film…  

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 […]

Do you like being wrong? I like being wrong. Do you like being wrong? I like being wrong. Love being wrong. Love it. Yeah. It’s great being wrong, isn’t it? Yeah …  I like being wrong. Really like being wrong. Really, love being wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Love IT! Yeah, really, REALLY love, love, LOVE being wrong. […]

Whoever keeps inviting Buzz killington to these European nights give it up? As soon as we took our metaphorical foot off the gas after going ahead the game drifted towards its inevitable conclusion. Nani needs to seriously get a life. I don’t know exactly what I mean by that, but I know I really mean […]

Hands up who thought we’d be joint top having won the past two games 5-0? Personally, because I never learn, I thought we’d be consigning the first team squad to the glue factory by the new year. I know I always like to be positive and always am…I still must admit to feeling a bit […]

That’s the way uh huh, uh huh, I like it (leave me alone it’s Christmas!). Can’t really have many complaints, (although haven’t seen whole match so maybe we can?) Nani starting to really hurt teams again. TV edging nearer top gear and Rooney scoring a proper goal. And the cherry on the top with a […]

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 […]

Our new Bi-focal post series invites new regular(ish) contributor and  Liverpool fan (Boo, Hiss)  Rob Wicke to share his thoughts on the comatose giants we love to not like very much.     Ying-yang, heaven-hell, Barry Elliot-Paul Elliot and other dependent opposites have an important part to play in our understanding of the world. They […]

Possibly the worst prediction I’ve made this season. Not feeling terribly negative personally, although not sure why…think it’s because of the positive feeling I get from watching Pogba and Morrison. Valencia and  Park two of our more consistent players in recent times are not playing well at all this season. Thought they just needed a […]

That’s what happens when you don’t allow a player any time on the pitch…when he gets a chance he doesn’t take it cos he’s not match sharp (Berba obv). Was encouraged in terms of hunger and urgency. Still not playing well, but Carrick, Berba, Young and Valencia again are not match sharp, so can’t be […]
