An Early Christmas Present… in the Form of Gary Neville

By: Taylor Rockwell | Comments 7 Comments

So, while I was sitting in my office and ponder how much fun it’s going to be to play Inter without Nemanja Vidic (hope you’re ready Johnny Evans), I found myself reading this article about Gary Neville, whom older readers may remember as once having actually been good, and was struck by the following quote:

The Weekly… Link?

By: Taylor Rockwell | Comments 7 Comments

So, I’ve been slammed this week and haven’t really had all that time to kill surfing the internet and then billing clients for it. So, I wasn’t going to do any links today until I came upon this video from SNL. I laughed so hard that it took a good little while to compose myself… [...]

United Draw Inter: Mancunians Mumble Obscenities Under Their Breath

By: Taylor Rockwell | Comments 9 Comments

So United will have a tough time in the Champions League Round of Sixteen. It was announced today that the reigning English and European Champions would be traveling to Italy in the near future to meet up with a high-powered Inter Milan side led by Jose Mourinho.

I Love United. I Love Goal Highlights. I Do Not Love 5:30AM.

By: Taylor Rockwell | Comments 7 Comments

So, I set my alarm, woke up, found a stream of the match between United and Gamba Osaka, and then promptly went back to sleep. This sequence of events turned out to be a shame, as I missed a (seemingly) rare opportunity for United to display their firepower. Five goals (three in minutes 75-79) put [...]

Slave to Sign for Madrid; Additionally, the Sky is Falling, Pigs Can Fly, and Hell is Cold

By: Taylor Rockwell | Comments 9 Comments

So, apparently, a rather talkative King Franco FC official has let it be known that the Slave-to-Madrid transfer is a done deal, and that the Portuguese winger will be heading over for an undisclosed amount this summer. Here is the actual dialogue of the recorded conversation involving Club Director Pedro Trapote:

Two Down, One to Go Very Soon…

By: Taylor Rockwell | Comments 2 Comments

So, it was announced early this morning that Paul Ince has been relieved of his coaching duties at Blackburn. The former MK Dons manager had struggled since taking over from the departed Mark Hughes, and had failed to get even one point out of his last six matches. Ince was seen as an exciting injection [...]

United v Tottenham – “Highlights?”

By: Taylor Rockwell | Comments 7 Comments

I feel like it’s a bit misleading to refer to what I’m posting below as “highlights”, since, you know, we didn’t do a whole lot of classic stuff in this one. Slave threw in a nice handball and a decent leg swipe at one of the Tottenham defenders that kept him bottled up all afternoon. [...]

United v. Spurs – Post Game Thoughts

By: Taylor Rockwell | Comments 6 Comments

So we’re back to teams putting eleven behind the ball in the second half, and then praying for a draw are we? I thought that trend had died with Reading, but two weeks in a row have me wondering if we should start going with Tevez, Berba, and Rooney (when he returns) up top.

Reader Poll: Round of 16 Opponent

By: Taylor Rockwell | Comments 5 Comments

So, we started this conversation yesterday, but I wanted to take it a step further and see what people were thinking about the upcoming draws for the Champions League Round of Sixteen. Taking into account that we can’t draw any English teams or Villarreal, the questions are: who do you want us to draw AND [...]
