Not a whole lot of news coming out of Old Trafford in the past week, save for new kits and a whole bunch of rumor. When we started getting linked with Henry again, I decided it was time to stop refreshing Soccernet every ten minutes.
Regardless, the summer lull is making it very difficult for [...]

I am a firm believer that Seinfeld was one of the greatest television programs of all time. As such, I try to work it into every possible situation, regardless of whether or not the reference is valid. However, in looking at the state of Manchester United, a Seinfeld analogy seems incredibly apt.
In the season eight [...]

News just out of United today that Tevez is definitely leaving the club.
Apparently he thinks a five year deal that makes him one of the highest earners at the club simply isn’t good enough. Apparently the club agreed to pay the option price of £25M to Kia and co. but Tevez rejected the contract.

The Guardian is reporting that contract talks between Carlos Tevez and Manchester United are nearing an end, but not in a good way. Despite Fergie “interrupting his holiday” to twice ring him, the Argentinean goal scorer appears poised to join up with Citeh due, in large part, to an offered 75% pay raise. There’s also [...]

So, firstly, apologies for the delayed response. I was out all morning, but was able to conclude that something was up when I checked my phone and saw nine missed calls and eleven text messages. So, I checked the interwebs and confirmed my suspicions: Slave was (most likely) gone.
