The Revolution should be on telly.
I decided after having overheard and engaged in too many conversations, casual chats and unreasonable drunken slanging matches about the money in football, that I was going calculate how much I’ve actually earned in my lifetime. The point being for me that the next time someone inevitably recoils mid-discourse and says, “but, 200,000-a-week that’s more than most people earn in a…(insert appropriate time-frame according to social stratification)” I’d have some actual solid […]
Venga, Venga, Wenger!
I don’t like Arsene Wenger. I never did. The way he carries himself looks uneasy and cold to me. I feel he reserves his smiles for the occasions when he makes a particularly smug retort to the press. Whilst the Arsenal players drench each other in champagne (remember those heady days), Arsene seems to prefer […]
Balotelli the clown: A convenient untruth.
Just as I was trying to write an introduction to this post another story, this time of how Balotelli hates Manchester, has flashed up on my twitter timeline and as ever it’s accompanied by a smattering of acerbic comment, witticism, thinly veiled or overt racism, resolute defence and nonsensical guff (that’s the bit I usually […]
Through Gritted Teeth: Didier Drogba
This was originally written and submitted to the very talented Andrew Thomas of Twisted Blood for inclusion in the always entertaining and amusing series of posts from guest bloggers and writers on his site titled ‘Through Gritted Teeth’. If my local were a camp South Pacific Island created in the 40’s by Rodgers and Hammerstein, and I were […]
Very superstitious? Pants, prayers & pullovers.
My United wrist-band (worn as a pseudo-tribute to Hargo), my United footy socks, my retro 80’s United cap and my awkwardly ill-fitting red jumper cut a clumsy path to my bed. I imagined I must have petulantly shrugged them off about 11 hours earlier. The scene complete with shoes on my cat’s bed suggested my […]
We are Barcelona
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, […]

You’ll never win anything with [Arsene’s] kids
Arsenal’s ability to implode this season has been dissected all over the world of football, so I won’t go into gory details. We all know the score (4-4). But here at Bifurcated, where smugness is the order of the day, we’re are offering dinner for 1 for your thoughts on what Arsenal are currently getting […]
I am a Biased Pervert
I am a Biased Pervert. Okay, so far off to a bad start. I am perhaps in need of a crash course in the science of self–enunciation, but please bear with me. I intend to ingratiate myself with you in the future and for this I will mostly be using the other distinguishing characteristics I […]
