Newcastle Win Absolutely Nothing
By: Nick | 2 Comments
Almost every time I listen to the BBC’s 606 - the debate over whether or not Newcastle United are a “big club” inevitably arises.
In my opinion, if holding Man Yoo to a draw at home, is a result worth celebrating - then you are not a big club. Except in the minds of your [...]
United Give Nothing Away Over Christmas
By: Nick | No Comments
So the festivities are over for now, and it’s evident that United were not in a very giving mood. A couple of pretty comfortable wins - and a nice four point lead (or is that five?) at the top — ahead of the New Year’s weekend matches.
About the only hint of Scrooge over Chritmas, [...]
A Very Nice Weekend Indeed
By: Nick | No Comments
We didn’t play particularly well - yet earned precious local bragging rights (for now) by taking care of Manchester Citeh (City!). Plus the other important matter of increasing our advantage over Chelsea - before we could settle down to witness the “Didier Drogba Petulant Diving and Rolling About Show” yesterday.
Much too soon to get [...]
Calm Seas at United
By: Nick | No Comments
Aaahh - all is centered and calm in the United Offside universe today. The team thankfully avoided complete and utter meltdown last night. If we hadn’t - serious questions would have been raised, and the mood would certainly have been grim (to say the least).
Alas, we don’t have to concern ourselves with those nasty [...]
United Out of UEFA Cup!

Hooray!! Mercifully, we managed to avoid complete and utter disaster tonight. Inevitably, not without creating the mother of all scares for fans (seemingly the United way). When Benfica scored, I’ll admit, I feared the worst. I no longer bite my nails - but if I did - I’d have been down to my knuckles [...]
Ronny Gives Boo Boys More Fodder
By: Nick | 1 Comment
It’s unlikely Cristiano Ronaldo actually prays for an end to the constant booing he attracts once he steps on a football pitch, but if he does, they’re going unanswered. Mind you - he’s hardly doing a stellar job himself, of quieting his critics.
Ok, I’m obviously biased - but the penalty decision didn’t come across [...]
United Stroll
By: Nick | No Comments
United overcame the appearance of Kieran Richardson in the starting eleven, to earn maximum points against Everton, in a relatively comfortable manner. The site of Richardson apart, there were further worries before kick-off, as it was announced that O’Shea and Fletcher would feature from the start. Fair play in the end though - team [...]
All Square
By: Nick | No Comments
It was ultimately an intriguing encounter, that both sides can be relatively happy with - and clearly demonstrated that these are the top two teams in the Premiership.
Normally, games this hyped can be poor affairs - but this one managed to rise above most. All in all, a fair result.
I was pleased that Saha [...]
A Bitter Pill
By: Nick | 5 Comments
This one’s going to gnaw for a while. We should have qualified easily before this match. Instead, thanks to Fergie’s team selection in Copenhagen - we failed to get a result - such that would have made this loss inconsequential.
Now we all feel a little nervous. Defeat to Benfica in two weeks is unthinkable. [...]
