So it’s Saturday afternoon and I’m currently in Louisville, Kentucky getting ready to go watch my college roommate get married. I have three thoughts on this: 1) I’m definitely not ready for college friends to start getting married, 2) I really, really hope it’s open bar, and 3) seriously, who was that team on the [...]

Wow, I Thought I Was Disappointed

Perhaps an insensitive title, but this is shocking. It’s been reported on most news networks that a Nigerian Man Utd fan killed four Barcelona fans last night! He was obviously so disappointed after our loss to the Catalonia club that he couldn’t take it but really, killing four people? That’s fucking insane. He apparently ran [...]

To begin with, I watched today’s game at a local pub surrounded by my fellow United supporters. About sixty minutes in, they all (rather belligerently) began making their traditional excuses. We should have been playing Chelsea, Puyol is a crybaby, Messi used HGH… all nonsense and poor excuses for the truth: United were once again [...]

As you can imagine, I’m devastated. I was wrong about my prediction. I was also wrong about Barca’s potential when playing against world-class opposition. They’re immense, in every way.
Simply put, they were utterly superb. Equally simply put, we didn’t turn up.
So please excuse me if this is short but I can’t go into this right [...]

What can I say? Absolutely stunning match so far. Fast-paced football, great one-touch passing (mostly from Barcelona). My 3-0 prediction of a United win is well out the window. But I can’t argue. United did dominate the first eight minutes, they passed it convincingly, pressured the Barca back four and looked dangerous, so dangerous that [...]

As you have probably seen, or may not have, Taylor and I did a mammoth preview yesterday. If that hasn’t whetted your appetite for tonight’s match buildup I’ve been talking to Isaiah from the Barcelona Offside over the past few days to try and get a die-hard Barca fan’s view on the Champions League Final. [...]

So the day we’ve been waiting for is nearly here, and the activity on this blog would indicate that both Wayne and myself are well up for it. Manchester United vs. Barcelona in what will no doubt be an historic event. I’m sure there will be a lot more to come, but for now, take [...]

And here it is, the final video of Man Utd vs Barca – Flashbacks. This is easily the worst game out of the ones I’ve shown so far but is also my favourite in terms of importance and atmosphere.

For some reason or another I can’t post the videos of the United press conferences up here so I’ll just leave the links. In the press conference, Fergie is clearly confident and Rio says that he feels good enough to play. It’s also quite funny to see Ronaldo push the mic over to Rio who [...]

The second of three of our Man Utd vs Barca – Flashbacks comes in the form of the 1991 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup Final. United won, becoming the first English club to win in Europe since the five year ban after Heysel.
