Newcastle Win Absolutely Nothing
By: Nick | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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!
By: Nick |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 | 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 |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 | 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 | 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. [...]
