For the past one hundred summers (or thereabouts), the transfer window for United fans has played out like a clever analogy for unparalleled frustration; with nothing remotely central-midfieldy to celebrate. But for a club who supposedly don’t have, haven’t had, or even seemingly got all that close to buying, any one of the best central […]

There’s a lot of talk of Spurs doing the double over us which, in spite of my usual positive – never predicting a loss – outlook, I have to reluctantly admit wouldn’t be all together surprising. Both teams have come a relatively long way since the earlier game at Old Trafford, in which “we ran […]

We’re inviting some of our Twitter friends, and now resident thought sharer Iwan Lenhert, 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): To be honest, even if tonight is our second […]

I had something really meaningful and poignant to say, but I’ve forgotten what it was, so you’ll have settle for the usual babbling. I never said I knew anything about football, so there was no need to believe me when I said that Reading posed no threat – in truth, the only threat came from […]

“We got ourselves a Reading!” as Bill Hicks wouldn’t have said. You still with me? Oh, well … here goes… I’ve never really liked Reading, and the fact they are now sponsored by Waitrose brings out the inverted snob in me – I really want us to absolutely stuff ‘em, like we’ve threatened to do […]

Typical, I’m away for a few days and not only does Jonny Evans return, but he goes and scores and I miss two golden opportunities to unveil my Jonny picture. There were a few minutes where some of you may have been crossing your fingers, hoping QPR would keep their lead so, – as promised […]

Was lovely to see Rooney celebrating his best mate (and 5-a-side team captain) Obama’s news, in style, by “dispatching” a very valuable penalty. Not to put a dampener on it (that sentence introduction is only heading one way) BUT still not confident in his penalty taking and would much rather ORVP was handed the task. We weren’t great […]

Okay, okay that’s the last time I’ll use the KA-POWELL picture as the header for one of these prediction posts – unless he does actually score, of course. Then I guess that buys me at least another five posts, right?! Good. Got a feeling Nick Powell will play – after making the bench against Arsenal […]

Well, the residual tensions from Sunday were all but consigned to the distant memory banks by the sheer amazingness of this game. Unfortunately, claims of comments aimed at Danny will again elbow their way way into the headlines – as has to happen if football is taking tackling racism seriously. The game… After Giggsy’s outrageous (in a bad way) display against […]

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 personal views on the game… Iwan: (@Iwanlehnert) That was probably as routine as a come-from-behind victory gets, to be honest. Braga started […]

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 personal views on the game… Iwan: (@Iwanlehnert) So far in Group H, Braga have gone from the ignominy of a 2-0 defeat […]
