The football blog for fans of all clubs
It was Tuesday the 19th of October 2010 when I was sat in the college library revising for my A2 exams when a mate of mine, an Arsenal fan, text me and asked whether Iâd heard the big football news of the day. âWhat are you on about?â I asked. âWayne Rooney. Fergie just said that heâs leaving you […]
Spanish newspaper Marca are today reporting that Atletico Madrid striker, Radamel Falcao, is set to join Manchester United this summer. Apparently United are keen to include Javier Hernandez in the deal whilst Atletico are looking for cash only, which would favourite the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City, both of whom he has been linked […]
After Manchester United players, the most number of Premier League medals players have won is just three, which several Arsenal and Chelsea players can boast.
Sunderland v Manchester Utd 12:45 – Craig Gardnerâs penalty earned a 1-1 draw for Sunderland at the Stadium of Light last time out, leaving them just above the relegation fight. – Sunderland have just been dealt an unfortunate blow after they found out that star striker Steven Fletcher will now not be fit […]
The Manchester United strikers from 1999 take on the Manchester United strikers from 2013… blindfolded. Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole were said to have a telepathic understanding. Can the same be said for Welbeck and Rooney?
After being a hero for Liverpool fans, Michael Owen’s popularity in Merseyside took a steep nose-dive when he left the club on a free transfer and joined Real Madrid, despite repeatedly claiming he wanted to extend his contract. To add insult to injury, Owen later joined their hated rivals, Manchester United, and went on to […]
Into his 17th year as a professional footballer, Rio Ferdinand still has the knack for a headline or two. The 34 year old centre-back has (unwittingly?) blown up the Twitterverse with a starring role in Riogate (the 2013 edition). Engulfing, for lack of a more descriptive adjective, 140 characters of opinion around the world, one […]
Man Utd v Reading, Saturday 17:30 – United were leading 2-0 against Chelsea last weekend but ending up conceding twice to draw 2-2 with Chelsea. Chicarito Hernandez and Wayne Rooney were on target in that game. – Hernandez continues to top the minutes per goal rating in the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index having […]
If youâre used to watching Unitedâs first team you could be forgiven for being a bit confused by the clubâs U21s and U18s. It would be normal to assume that United would prepare players for the first team by replicating the system the first team play but on the whole, thatâs not the case. Even […]
âThe game that the whole world wanted to seeâ was how Manchester Unitedâs recent clash with Real Madrid was built up. Unlike the endless nauseating Skysports promotions for mundane Premiership fixtures this game was a genuine mouth-watering prospect. It may be a forbidden opinion inside the walls of Barcelona but this was the locking of […]

Manchester United’s #7 shirt is a special one for the club, given how many brilliant players have worn it over the years. Cristiano Ronaldo was the last really special player to wear the shirt before Michael Owen took over the honour. After Owen left the club in the summer most fans were supportive of the […]
1) Having been on such an impressive stretch of form of late and after our impressive performance against Real Madrid at the Santiago BernabĂŠu I was fully expecting us to go through to the next round. Although Mourinhoâs men had been in fine form themselves recently with back-to-back wins over Barcelona, but the amount of […]
It seems strange to think now but when I heard that Manchester United had sold Cristiano Ronaldo for ÂŁ80m I was glad. He had stropped his way through that last season, but still amassed an impressive 26 goals, and was a crucial element in us winning that record equalling 18th title. Following the heights we […]
Since Sir Alex came out and told the press that he believes the current United squad was stronger than the world-beating team of â99, is the treble still a realistic target for an English club anymore? With teams like Bayern, Barca and Real Madrid being more dominant than ever, itâs certainly tough, and if anyone […]
A few years ago it would be unforgivable for a Manchester United defender to admit he had grown up as an Arsenal fan. Thankfully for Chris Smalling, who was 15-years-old when Arsene Wenger’s men last won a trophy, the rivalry between the two clubs has almost disappeared thanks to a lack of competition between them. […]
Manchester United v Norwich, Saturday 15:00 – A goal from Ryan Giggs on his 999th professional appearance and a quite stunning strike from Rafael capped an excellent all round performance for Manchester Utd, a 2-0 win which puts the Premier League even more firmly within their grasp. – Rafaelâs superb goal against QPR came […]
According to Forbes magazine, Manchester United Football Club are now valued at $3.3 billion, making them the most valuable sports franchise in history, a whopping $1.2 billion ahead of their nearest competitor, the NFLâs Dallas Cowboys. From the mustachioed Mr. Potato, the global snack partner of Manchester United, to billionaire Zong Qinghou, said to be […]
