Nani

This is a remake of a comic-strip post from pre-season, celebrating our Tony (and not Nani) becoming a member of the No.7 club. (Really didn’t mean it to contain a swear. I’d deleted all the files, so couldn’t re-edit, before I’d even realised there was one in it.)  

The best thing – BEST THING – to come out of our Champions League opener, for me, was the appearance of Fletch. Now, I’ve learned not to get too excited by these moments from what happened with Hargo … but damn it, I’m excited. I forget he was playing through it last year, so he’s […]

It’s always nice to give a team a bit of a thumping, especially when you’re still not really out of third (even second) gear. I really like the look of Nick Powell; even though we have seen little of him. His goal was real quality and I he’s already becoming one of my new favourites as I disperse much of […]

One of the worst performances I’ve witnessed all season. Carrick in particular, first half, was very poor in possession and none of the front players had turned up with the intention of using any of their critical faculties. But … It’s absolutely terrifying how we managed to come away with that scoreline. If you listen carefully you can probably […]

I love how this season is playing out like a twisted plot driven audaciously terrible telly programme. Gibson in the style we had become accustomed to forgetting, hammered one in from the edge and (via a defelection) got the biggest cheer at Old trafford on the night. A testament to how much we fear City now. The fact I’m talking […]

Well, result aside, the most important bit which is a shame, I thought we were by far the better team for about 99% of the game. Their biggest threat was De Gea, not that that’s intended to mean I blame him for the result in any way.  I thought the reason we lost was because […]

That’s getting a bit more like what we like. Well don’t want to speak for you lot. That’s what I like to see. A comfortable, if unspectacular, win. Of course I prefer spectacular but after the run of performances we’ve put in recently, a nice calm win is encouraging. Finally the main man Tony V […]

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 […]
