Not a Rant: Engage

Not a Rant: Engage

Or, perhaps a rant within ‘not a rant’… In the pub, at half-time that other Tuesday, I returned to my seat after a visit to the bar to find that three twenty-somethings had materialised. I hadn’t gone out of my way to notice them, it’s...

If I were to make New Year’s resolutions, this year mine would be to watch less football, or – more specifically, to no longer watch Sky Sports.* *It would have suited the narrative flow of this post to have started the previous sentence with ‘My...

Bifurclownshoes “Season” Review

*abso maverick glolorific intro to rapturous applause* *from Paul*   Here’s some questions we asked each other to pad this excuse for Tom to share his considered thoughts on the 2018/19 season:   1. What shape is a/the wheel? Benno:…

Cardiff vs United

Cardiff vs United

The Human League obviously foresaw Danny’s prolonged absence, when they penned their hit Tell Me When Will I See Danny Welbeck Again (You have to play it backwards, whilst walking counter-clockwise round a tree, in a church yard). I miss him. The good news is he’s so close to being back, I can smell him (Parma Violets). Having not seen or heard anything from David Moyes’ presser (fancy talk), I can only presume we haven’t...

Canvey Island cds, tapes and vinyl: Craig English

United fan, blogger, and friend of Bifurcated Craig English (@CraigEnglish92, Taught By Matt Busby) was settling down in front of the telly to watch the horse-racing. But just as he reached for the remote he noticed it was looking a little more train-shaped than normal, and not only that, it was about a hundred times bigger than it was yesterday. Odd, he thought. It was, of course, the Bifurcated Train! . The conductor chucked Craig...

Canvey Island cds, tapes and vinyl: Journo Jess

United fan and blogger Journo Jess (@Journo_Jess, Journo Jess Blog) was just about to take a picture of Phil Jones down by the touchline, when she noticed his face beginning to stretch a little too much?! Although slightly unnerved she carried on, presuming, as we all would, that this was just normal. But as the shutter closed, a projectile shot from his cavernous mouth!! It was the Bifurcated Train! What?! That’s where we’ve been keeping it. The...

United 1 - 0 Arsenal

United 1 – 0 Arsenal

And without Danny. Arsenal should really consider themselves very very very very very very lucky. Phil ‘Jonesy’ Jones takes a lot of credit from this game, and rightly so – he was really strong, in both midfield and defence (I’m really luke-warming to the idea of him in midfield). Evans too. But also crucial, I think, was the performances of the sometime, somewhat maligned Michael Carrick, Tony and Patrice. All three were on it (whatever...

CL: Real Sociedad 0 - 0 United

CL: Real Sociedad 0 – 0 United

Fellaini did some okay stuff in this game, but it’s still not clear why he’s not playing the position he was bought to play in – the position he apparently wants to play and is his best position. The sending off was pre-arranged between the referee and the United coaching staff. United had to catch a flight back and didn’t want tree-chops taking the whole of Autumn to get back into the changing room. *Kags...

Narrative: Having witnessed Treebeard* triumphantly rescue Frodo* from those pesky Orcs* in the previous scene, it’s the natural course of things that the next act finds Treebeard* and his fellow Ents* taking down Saruman*. *For Treebeard read Fellaini. *For Frodo read Adnan. *For Orcs read Reichter and Kasami. *For Ents read  ‘Entertainers’*. *For Saruman read Wenger. *For ‘Entertainers’ read lol*. *For lol read lol AND lots of love.* Prediction: 3-1. Danny with his customary two....

CL: Real Sociedad vs United

Okay, no ‘Real Dad’ references this time. That doesn’t count. This is very, very, very serious… A bit of momentum is a wonderful thing, as we can testify being United fans and all. I’m fairly sure though that not even Moyes himself buys the party-line he’s been peddling, of us ‘being notorious slow starters, regardless of who’s in charge’ … but that’s not to give him credit for finally having found a footing; and in...

Fulham 1 - 3 United

Fulham 1 – 3 United

What a really good result for Moyes (and us) all round. This post is brought to you today, in association with the word ‘good’. – Good form: Rooney (*spit*) and RVP amongst the goals and hitting a bit of a patch – together and as seperate entities. – Good times: Adnan continuing his exponential growth. – Goodness sake: his man, coming to ‘the rescue’ of Adnan, and affording him a little bit of slack, perhaps....

United's defence: I don't want to talk about it.

United’s defence: I don’t want to talk about it.

For a minute back there, I thought we were going to be treated (for treated read: not at all treated) to front row seats as David Moyes’ private fantasy – of running a team with Rio and Vidic at the heart of the defence, no matter what – played out all over our goal difference for the remainder of the season. Not that I’m not going to miss Vidic desperately dispersing his (and his opponents)...
