Bolton Wanderers, err, Wander into Old Trafford
By: Nick |

We’re officially in ’squeeky bum’ time. Henrik has left, our forwards are dinged and Chelski keep jamming results. Failure to beat Bolton tomorrow may be seriously harmful to our health. The saving grace is we’re at home - but the opponents will certainly be no push over.
With speculation rife about our developing injury hoodoo [...]

Villans Up For The Cup
By: Nick | No Comments
Well, no non-league opposition to navigate this year, and Aston Villa’s players will hardly be as excited as the bloke on the left to come to Old Trafford (considering they’ll be back six days later), but there’s always something a little special about the FA Cup - and the third round in particular.
It looks [...]
Battle of the Americans! (Owners That Is…)
By: Nick | No Comments
Is this the first meeting between American owners of British football clubs? Seems likely to me - but if anybody knows different, you can send the answer to me here in the Garden Shed.
Aston Villa are a funny little club. I still remember them lifting the European Cup in 1982. But since then, they’ve [...]
Cup Final For Citeh
By: Nick | 2 Comments
Yes it’s Manchester Citeh’s biggest game of the season tomorrow. They’ve not won a trophy for around 300 years, so this game is largely it for them. Whereas we come into the match off of an emotional victory over Benfica, they arrive off of a slightly less emotional nil nil draw against Watford. That [...]
It’s Like Deja Vu - All Over Again
By: Nick | No Comments
You can say that Manchester United and Benfica have history. A new chapter of which will be written tomorrow, in what has come down to the single most important game of the season. We all know that it shouldn’t have come to this, but here we are, and failure is not an option.
I [...]
United Battle the “Smoggies”
By: Nick | 1 Comment
United travel to Teeside, with the aim of avoiding a similar fate as last year (crushed 4-1) against the “Smoggies”. Let’s hope so - Chelsea are off this weekend, so we have a nice chance to grab a six point lead at the top the league.
We don’t seem to have any major concerns in [...]
United Aim to Chew Up Toffeemen
By: Nick | No Comments
Those are Everton Mints in the picture. They’re quite nice. United host Everton Football Club (aka “The Toffemen”) on Wednesday. Both squads have likely problems in the forward line - so goals could be at a premium. This is a tough one to predict. It’s often been a home banker - but the last [...]
Size Matters?
By: Nick | No Comments
One of the most pressing questions for United fans, seemingly magnified by Sunday’s match, has been the quality and depth of our squad, compared to Chelsea’s. There’s little doubt (is there?), that our ideal eleven has ably managed to compete with the eleven from Stamford Bridge. But for how long?
Truth is - we are [...]
Inevitable “Battle of Britain” Awaits
By: Nick | No Comments
I’ll admit - I’m a little worried about this game. But you know what? I shouldn’t be - because if we hadn’t played like a bunch of muppets in Copenhagen - this match would be for nothing more than bragging rights for us.
Instead, we have to take a strong and (hopefully) very determined squad to [...]
United Travel to Steel City
By: Nick | No Comments
United’s last squad to visit Bramall Lane contained a certain Monsieur Cantona (”Ooh Aah”). For tomorrow’s visit, the squad looks healthy - and hopefully they’re not looking beyond this match to the crucial Celtic, and Chelsea games.
As usual, life at Neil Warnock’s Sheffield United is never dull - with player’s fighting and eyebrow biting [...]
