United vs West Brom
Presuming we’ve beaten Liverpool mid-week, ‘cus why wouldn’t we? Moyes needs a big win to follow that up, to convince fans he’s on some sort of track. (I’m on holiday at the moment (writing this on Tuesday), hence the poor effort. Business as unusual for the Champions League.) Prediction: 5 – 1. Danny with his […]
LC: United vs Liverpool
I’d still like someone to tell me where Luis Suarez got that Andy McNab glove puppet? I’m not ready for football yet, and besides by the time the games kicks off I’ll be on holiday. I just hope Moyes gives the yoof a chance, though after Sunday, I can imagine he’ll find it hard to not […]
Yo Soy Un Helado
A year ago to the day, I wrote a post inspired by a trip to Spain, ¡Cayendo en la trampa! (Falling into the trap). We’re going there to live next year, so I need to start learning the language, though I’m not anywhere near good enough yet. Luckily my girlfriend is, and she has kindly translated […]

S Club 7 (a short film)
To accompany my ‘A Seven Aside’ post, a daft video (what else?) … . . There’s also a ‘directors cut’…
A Seven Aside
For the first time since Michael Owen, Manchester United are starting a season without a player wearing the number 7 shirt. In the end it took a neat side-step from Antonio Valencia (which is funny, ‘cus he doesn’t do that anymore) to consign the shirt to Albert Morgan’s sewing box for the foreseeable future. There […]
CL: United 4 – 2 Bayer Leverkusen
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 […]
CL: United vs Bayer Leverkusen
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 […]

Danny, Me and Henry…
I was asked a couple of years back which other player Danny reminded me of the most and, without pausing for breath, I replied: “Henry” because he did … a little bit. It was met with such unexpectedly high levels of derision that, to save face; to pretend I wasn’t wounded – and that in fact […]
