Michael Carrick

Tom (@Tom_McGhee): Crisis averted, I’m back (it can’t have escaped anyone’s notice that our season has dipped dramatically since I went on sabbatical). I’ll be honest, I was hoping that my return would coincide with a decisive victory against Everton but since that’s clearly not going to happen, it might as well be now*. Anyways, […]

The Human League obviously foresaw Danny’s prolonged absence, when they penned their hit Tell Me When Will I See Danny Welbeck Again (You have to play it backwards, whilst walking counter-clockwise round a tree, in a church yard). I miss him. The good news is he’s so close to being back, I can smell him […]

And without Danny. Arsenal should really consider themselves very very very very very very lucky. Phil ‘Jonesy’ Jones takes a lot of credit from this game, and rightly so – he was really strong, in both midfield and defence (I’m really luke-warming to the idea of him in midfield). Evans too. But also crucial, I […]

Where to start?   .                                . Here will do … let’s get some stuff said: I’ve skipped second-base with Fellaini and am already at third – he might be the answer y’know. Him and Carrick in midfield, P-A-S-S-I-N-G. Chris Smalling looked on it, and some, at right back – which was possibly a knock on […]

Brett: The CHAAAAAAAARRRMPIONNSSSS! Come on, you all sing that in your head, when ITV interrupt the commercials to bring us some football. I like to add a *one armed conductor movement, for the strings bit*. Where am I? “You’re on your blog, there’s a path in front of you that you’ve been down before, that […]

. Rob (our Liverpool fan contributor): My ‘Pool wish list for last season: A winning mentality. Tick. A determination to improve. Tick. To defeat Utd.  Negative. Wish list for this season: To compete for a Champions League place. To be exciting to watch. To defeat Utd.  I have watched two Utd friendlies plus the opening Premier […]

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 […]
