United 2013/14 Season Review
Benno (@Benglorious): The Bobbins: A Tale of Trying King Alexander had ruled Traffordonia for nearly thirty years. He was much respected by his enemies and beloved by his people because during his reign the kingdom had flourished, and was the envy of the whole world. Alexander knew that his time as king was coming […]
CL: United vs Bayern Munich
Ben (Benglorious): Champions League quarter finals, eh? Whodathunkit after the season we’ve had, eh? Hang on… Why are they called ‘quarter finals’ anyway? Do the matches only last twenty-two and a half minutes or are we only allowed two and three-quarter players on the pitch? I suppose nobody will ever know. I did some research […]
United vs Liverpool
Liverpool Rob: Usually I steer well clear of Brett’s advances around this peculiarity in the football calendar. If he gets hold of me he asks me out on a date to watch the match, because, well, we’re friends and it doesn’t matter who wins (or loses). This year I’m happy to put that theory […]
Arsenal vs United
Ben (Benglorious): By now, you should have experienced enough fallout from the Fulham travesty to be screaming for Moyes’ head to be removed, covered in tar and placed next to that unlucky Stark fellow’s bonce on the ramparts of King’s Landing. A bit of sword-breathing, topless dragons and incestuous dwarf-action would serve as […]
Chelsea vs United
Tom (@Tom_McGhee): According to “King” Kenny (I certainly didn’t vote for him), this game is a ‘must-win’ for both teams. Feeling honesty is the best policy, I’ve got to say I can’t envision any scenario where that’s going to happen. If, like me, you are curious as to whether this could ever happen, ask NASA – I tried but they said they […]
Norwich vs United
. Tom (@Tom_McGhee): . Literally typing this on a phone, as I drive a 7.5 tonne lorry. It’s not ideal. If only I’d had a few spare days to prepare something better… Prediction: Going to go with 3-1 United if for no other reason that I’m trying to be more optimistic for the new year […]
United vs Newcastle
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, […]
United 1 – 1 Southampton
Tom (@Tom_McGhee): Consider yourselves very lucky – after a tough few weeks my GTA Online metaphor was polished and ready to make you all laugh harder than any joke ever. Wifi on Laptop has put paid to that though and typing this on iPhone is actually more tedious than a lot of the football […]
Sunderland vs United
. Tom (@Tom_McGhee): I’m saying nothing…. . Brett: The joys of seeing a Di Canio-less Sunderland and the late-summer sun caressing the delicate contours of JOS’s unconventionally beautiful face, have been cruelly snatched away from me by the mild, mild mess our club finds itself in. The only thing we can do is cross our […]
