The headlines wrote themselves this morning for all the wrong reasons. Rob Styles’ itchy whistle finger contrived to invent a new type of offence for awarding a penalty of which he is yet to explain to the media.
It was pretty clear to everyone that it wasn’t a penalty and Styles was spooked by the OT [...]

Manchester United v Bolton Wanderers; Old Trafford, Saturday 27th September, 1500.
VdS returns against Bolton after a shaky start to the season with Kuszcak ruled out with a groin injury. There was always a chance United would name rookie keeper Ben Amos in the starting line up but it was felt that thinking man’s neanderthal, Kevin [...]

Watching a streaming United game broadcast in Arabic is a very, very strange experience.
English is no big deal (unless it’s coming from Tommy Smyth, then it’s instantly muted). Spanish I can handle. But Arabic definitely through me for a loop…. hooray for streaming video right?

I listen to several different football podcasts and try to read as much about the beautiful game as possible (while trying not to get fired from my other job that actually pays me money).

“It looked a really bad one. For the kid to make his first [...]

By: Taylor Rockwell | No Comments
It appears that suspected drug dealer Richard Alex da Silva Martins ‘Gigi’ was arrested in the Porto Alegre home of United midfielder Anderson. While Anderson has been cleared of any wrongdoing, I can’t help but feeling that the gods of fate won’t look to kindly on anyone who associates with individuals whose character definition includes [...]

Manucho, the Angola striker named in the Africa Cup of Nations Best 11, could make his Manchester United debut tonight Carling Cup against Boro. I didn’t know too much about him so, to save you faithful readers the trouble, I researched him and have to say I’m looking forward to seeing him have a run [...]

“It’s all too beautiful”, the Small Faces reminded me on Sunday when Ji-Sung Park scored his 18th minute goal.
I’ve had a bit of a pop at him over the last few days and I’m not afraid to say that I loved Mr Park for a few minutes on Sunday. Just a few minutes, mind [...]
