We’re inviting some of our Twitter friends to share some of their ‘Pre’ and ‘Post Match’ thoughts with us from now on. You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets, below their personal views on the game… Iwan: (@Iwanlehnert) It’s impossible to look back on Sunday afternoon’s match without focussing on the allegations raised by Chelsea regarding Mark Clattenburg, so let’s deal with it now. If the FA are truly serious about combating racism...

It was almost incomprehensible that this game would pass by without a sharp intake of breath at a controversial decision or two – little did we know we’d be left gasping for air. The game has been overshadowed entirely by the refereeing decisions and alleged comments by Mark Clattenburg, but I’d just like to acknowledge what was a thoroughly pulsating and enjoyable game to watch (of course much of which was brought about by some...

You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets, below their personal views on the game… Iwan: (@Iwanlehnert) We’re all about the trepidation at the minute. On the one hand, our defence couldn’t catch a one-legged dodo lately, but on the other, more confident, cooler hand, we’re knocking in goals with the kind...

We’re inviting some of our Twitter friends to share some of their ‘Pre’ and ‘Post Match’ thoughts with us from now on. You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets, below their personal views on the game… Iwan: (@Iwanlehnert) That was probably as routine as a come-from-behind victory gets, to be honest. Braga started positively and took advantage of some shocking (now standard) defending, scored two goals, and then we started playing. To be...

You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets, below their personal views on the game… Iwan: (@Iwanlehnert) So far in Group H, Braga have gone from the ignominy of a 2-0 defeat to Cluj despite having over twenty shots on goal to a morale-boosting victory in Istanbul in, which is hardly the...

Phewee! It’s a good job I had my fingers crossed behind my back when I said I’d  call it quits on the money I’m owed from previous twitter bets, if United didn’t win 2-0, so I didn’t have to renege on it or nothing, innit?! (I’m bored of myself already too.) The result is the result – we’re still “pregnant with the future”. No-one, with the exception of Chelsea (although they have been flattered by...

United fan and friend of Bifurcated, Tom Pattison (@TomPattison) was busy putting his fingers in his many social media pies – including the super United site Can They Score  he co-runs, and the weekly Can They Score Podcast – when his laptop shut down automatically, displaying nothing but the ‘blue screen of death’. In the centre of the screen appeared a dot, which grew, and continued growing, and continued growing a bit more, and a...

He may no longer play for United, but we have managed to get our grubby little hands on the archived, top-secret, investigations he undertook while he was still under our employment...   At Manchester United, without even a sniff of football as a distraction, Micky Owen was afforded the role as Fergie’s own personal detective. Along with his spirit guide Eric, and new partner Berba he provides the club with something that on the surface...

You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets, below their personal views on the game… Iwan: (@Iwanlehnert) Not to detract from the importance of the shocking treatment that England’s under-21 team had to endure in Serbia this week, but it’s comforting to be welcomed back to club football’s welcoming bosom. As much...
