  In answer to all our prayers – in a non-churchy way – Rooney was relieved of penalty duty and a goal was the result. As I’ve mentioned many times before, I don’t subscribe to the notion that players ‘should’ always score from the penalty spot, but Rooney definitely isn’t an artisan in the craft (especially the Rooney we see more […]

Last of the bullet point reviews, and copy and paste previews: normal service will resume after this … Oi! Who groaned?! I love RVP. I love Chicha. Our defence is best, when the best defence is picked (including De Gea). Ashley Young is overdue a real stinker. MOTM: Rafael.

(Bit of a kop out but I’m copying and pasting the same thoughts for the next few games. If anyone I mention gets injured or suspended I’ll get my just desserts) Christmas takes over for me in these coming weeks – I love the festive fixture chaos, but I won’t be paying as much attention […]

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): It’s not that I take some form of sick pleasure […]

“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 […]

I was spending the evening after this game, with a couple of friends – one a united fan, and the other very much not. The second friend didn’t support United, because Rooney looks like a pig. In a strange way that put the game into perspective. Sometimes you win when you haven’t played well. Sometimes […]

Seems a lot of people are referring to this game in terms of what happened last time round – remembering Giggsy’s goal and the result, and perhaps forgetting how poor we were for the other ninety-something minutes, only saved by some amazing goalkeeping from De Gea. All Giggsy sentiment aside (he was pretty poor that […]

As GNev said on Twitter “you just knew”. There’s a dichotomy of sorts with regards to how United (especially this season) go about winning games. We would all love it if we could keep it tight at the back and dominate games in a technically and tactically preficient way, but don’t you just love the drama and […]
