Should have scored from there” / “should have got a hand to that” / “should have looked up” / “should have made that substitution earlier” / “should have won that game”. You get the gist.  What I find myself infuriated by is the implication that someone, somewhere, ‘should have’ done better. To most, I’m sure the seemingly harmless semantics of the broadcaster ‘on-the-hop’, are purely incidental to their overall enjoyment of a game.  It’s just a...

I would! *ducks behind desk*    Feel free to projectile spew your vitriol in my direction below… (And I will happily defend why *I would* in reply to any comments)

If only we’d read my pre-match prediction. I mean it’s usually on SAF’s to do list to go through all my posts weekly … Ah well, must have had his mind on other things. I experienced this game vicariously through text messages from two United fans and a Liverpool fan and then through newspaper reports a couple of days after the event, so have nothing to say apart from SSSSSHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT! This is the last time...

Not predicting with any confidence at the moment, but there’s no point repeating the reasons over and over and over and over and over and over… (repeat to fade) (Besides, I’m away in France and football doesn’t exist when I’m not around to witness it, not as if that’s in any way relevant to the above point. I was just showing off that I’m going to be in France, cus I’m going to be in...

Well the cliches for our games are writing themselves, so I don’t have to. Here’s a few things anyway, that I’ve said lots of times before. Not cliches as such, just repeats. Does that mean they’re cliches? No, I don’t think so. It’s quite obvious what I think of Ashley Young. Get rid. Rooney needs some better players around him before he falls asleep mid-groan. Again Rooney not great, but crucial goals. T.V is amazing. Scholes never should...

  A few years back I watched a cup match between Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday and came to the conclusion that I could kick the ball up in the air and misplace passes and could run like Forest Gump, so why the flip wasn’t I playing out there? Obviously the scouting system in this country had failed me, how many others have been failed too? We actually had a scout living in my village...

Every sinew of my being is telling me there is just no way that we can come away from this game without a win. I really think under normal circumstances that I’d be predicting us to roll over Villa comfortably, but there’s no question that we are struggling to play with any quality and now every team carries a threat. The added discomfort of City’s return to form means I’ll be spending the rest of...

United fan and friend of Bifurcated Adam Pinfold (@adampinfold) was off out to band practice, but as he left the house he was confronted by a train station that had appeared at the entrance to his block of flats! (I think we can guess what’s coming by now)   The conductor handed Adam a £1 coin and wagged his finger in the direction of the platform. There, of course, was only one train waiting to depart, there was only one destination …  ...

*GULP* (*CTRL + V* We need better players.)
