Vidic

Again, I got a few things right. Someone remarked the other day that I’m fairly insightful when I set my mind to it, and if I took myself more seriously, and considered taking these things more seriously, I might develop a better reputation amongst the United online community … Pah!! As if! Sounds horrid. If […]

When within 90 minutes of the start of the campaign we’re having “SHOCK OF THE SEASON” shoved down our throats, the depressing inevitability of Football eventually eating itself crowns on the horizon. Oh Sky! With your patronising repetitive dirge ridden attempts to ingeniously trick us into chucking more money at you, you really spoil us. Aaaanyway … […]

If like me you enjoy spending a couple of minutes a week sticking Premier League footballers, or European club names, into Google Translate in an attempt to fill the void in your life created by your lack of sociability, you may have discovered that Torres means ‘Towers’ (one of my personal favourites being Otelul Galati, […]

Thank Fergie for that! Just the kind of result SAF would have been demanding from us. A very very good result and the kind of performance that doesn’t leave you sulking for a few days. Really happy Rooney got a couple and Nani’s been threatening to get amongst it for a couple of games. The […]

If you were asked to pick a player from the current United squad to duplicate eleven times, and then field in the next fixture, I think you’d be hard pushed not to choose Rooney. Vidic might get a few votes, but the referee would have a job keeping up with play, with the extra luggage […]

Well I’ve seen a lot of things while I’ve been blogging for Bifurcated…But I didn’t really expect to see that. The result does suggest City will be more of a problem than I personally gave them credit for at the start of the season. There is a marked improvement from last season. They actually feel […]

Damn. I should have been more bold and would have got the result and scorer bang on. Predicted a Rooney brace and was tempted to put 0-2 but was just a bit concerned about us defensively. Couldn’t have gone much more to type this game. It’s a shame about the Vida red card, but how […]

While it hardly pained me to write from the point of view of Barcelona a few days ago, I certainly found it unnatural. It’s my pleasure now, to rattle off a few reasons why United will prevail on Saturday and why Barca should be quaking in their total-football boots. In an interview with the Guardian […]

While discussing features for the CL final, I mentioned to Brett I might like to write from Barca’s point of view. I often wonder what other teams think of United; what threats they will face, what they feel they can exploit. When I read this interview with Xavi, one of my favourite players to watch, […]

There was a time, namely last season and the 5 seasons prior, when every match we played against Chelsea made my stomach retreat somewhere into my left leg, making me unsteady for 24 hours before kickoff. If we won, my stomach was restored and I could eat again. If we lost, which seemed to always […]
