Jonny Evans

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 […]

I’d just done a fairly long prediction thingy and then my ‘puter crashed and nothing saved, so I’m pulling a diva strop and not bothering to do another one. I said something about hoping Jonny was fit, but happy Smalling is available, and something about wanting to find out a bit more about the situation […]

I did say ‘titter ye not’ at my suggestion of a 1-4 win, and I was right, wasn’t I? Don’t give me any of that, “yeah, but it was 0-3 nonsense”. It’s the same. In fact, if you want to split hairs, technically Danny missed an open goal – so that’s 4. AND they got […]

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): Hate’s a strong word. I don’t really hate Oasis, I just really dislike them. I never really […]

On an emotionally charged day for many the game thankfully played out relatively trouble free. Suarez shook hands. Fergie’s letter was well received. Calls for calm from all quarters were respected. Let’s hope those responsible for such an appalling injustice can be held to account. The game itself said much about the form of the […]

I’ve always had a soft spot for Southampton, probably brought on by Matt Le-Tissier (as a player). I’m really glad they’ve got back in the Premiership. I also have a little bit of a soft spot for Ricky Lambert, having seen him in the flesh when he played for Bristol Rovers, he always looked like he […]

Well luck again proved to be our most consistent performer, but better all round today. Signs of Chicha, Welbeck and Rooney working better together, but have had so many false dawns this season that it’s hard to get excited. Aaahh, who am I kidding it’s  really easy to get excited! (I’m still not falling for the trick. We […]

Great to see Cleverley back and coming through unscathed. Good to see the human butterfly knife Ashley Young too. I was very surprised by the line up, but it would have been very different had we been playing at the weekend. Nani was poor but hey … Evans and Rio were solid, Yay. Nice to […]

It’s really hard to avoid talking about the main issue of this game but I think it’s all been said and repeated to death and back and we’re still talking about it. I really can’t get my head around what Suarez and Dalglish think they stand to gain by continuing with their stances. I would […]
