“Wembley!!! Wembley!!! We’re the famous Man United and we’re going to Wembley!! Wembley!!! Wembley!!! We’re the famous Man United and we’re going to Wembley!!” Yep, we are the famous Manchester United and yep on Sunday we’re going to Wembley. Whatever the occasion, a Wembley final is always special. I’m really excited by this match, who’d [...]

The papers this morning have suggested there will be a summer fire sale at Old Trafford due to the mounting debt; a staggering 10-15 players will leave Manchester United in the summer. I don’t believe this for one moment! 10-15, not a chance… Perhaps three or a maximum four but not 10. The papers are [...]

Edwin Van dar Sar has decided to stay at United for one more season. Without question he is still the best goalkeeper at Man United and probably one of the best goalkeepers over the last decade. United have certainly suffered during his absence this season. van der Sar may have found a greater love for [...]

The papers this morning are suggesting Sir Alex Ferguson is leaning on Rio Ferdinand to bring an end to his International career. With Ferdinand recently being made England captain it further complicates the situation. As a lad it may have been Rio’s dream to Captain England. To it for only four months may not be [...]

With a sprinkle of snow in the air, Wayne Rooney scored his seventh and eighth header in his last eight games to send the Champions one point behind Chelsea. It’s fairly obvious his extra heading training has worked a treat. Who says hard work doesn’t pay off..? In a less convincing first half Rooney scored [...]

Against West Ham we could see what would be a welcomed return for two rocks at the central defence. How different this season could have been with a fit Rio and a fit Vidic for at least half our matches we’ll never know. .. Manchester United’s recent history against West Ham is very good with [...]

Since the defeat against Everton in which Rooney under-performed I’ve heard a lot of nonsense uttered on the television and radio. The suggestion is United are only a one man team – if Rooney has a poor game United will lose the said match. What complete rubbish and totally unfair on Everton and the other [...]

Everton fully deserved their 3-1 victory – no argument whatsoever. The whole Manchester United team looked tired, especially in the second half. The pace of the game definitely slowed compared to the first half. In previous seasons United have occasionally suffered a Champions League hangover and was probably why we lacked energy in the important [...]

I expect the game against Everton to be a real tough physical encounter – no quarter given, no quarter asked. David Moyes has worked wonders with Everton this season considering they have had an injury crisis on a par with us, with long term injuries to Arteta and Jagielka. I think Arteta is pure quality [...]

Last night had a feel of win or bust for AC Milan. The way Milan started, gave the impression their players and management felt they had to win the home leg to stand any chance of progressing to next round. Milan absolutely blitzed Manchester United for the first 20-25 minutes creating several chances with Ronaldinho [...]
