By G@mb!t. Anderson Luís de Abreu Oliveira or just Anderson might be one of the most talented footballers in the world but he’s also one of those who have not fulfilled their vast potential yet. Last week saw him linked with a move away from Old Trafford. This got me thinking of how Anderson, once [...]

I’m guessing I wasn’t the only United fan to say “who?” when Manchester United announced the transfer of Javier Hernandez. Since the signing, I like many of you have eagerly awaited the World Cup and Mexico’s warm up games. Having now watched Hernandez feature in five games a fairer assessment can be made. From what [...]

The football fixtures for the 2010/11 season have been announced this morning. Thank you! Something to whet the appetite while we endure the 2010 World Cup. The summer months without Manchester United are boring and this year is no different. The World Cup (the greatest football tournament in the world) was supposed to fill the [...]

By G@mb!t. Dimitar Berbatov has been “affectionately” given a new name by Manchester United fans – ‘Berbaflop’.

Rooney played okay, nothing more nothing less. The performance [...]

By G@mb!t Zoran Tosic has been a big mystery to many Manchester United fans, signed in January 2009 from Partizan Belgrade, initial reports claimed he’s be United legend Ryan Giggs’s heir apparent, this mainly due to some similarities between the two. Tosic was known to have an excellent left foot, great at crossing and really [...]

BBC Sport Transfer gossip column has reported Manchester United are willing to exchange one of three players plus cash to entice Harry Redknapp in to selling Luka Modric. Considering Luka Modric has recently signed a contract extension with Tottenham Hotspur, this transfer is an absolute no go in my opinion (regardless of money). Has there [...]

The 2010-11 season is perhaps the most important in the fledgling career of Darron Gibson. Next season could be make or break for Gibson (and perhaps one or two other players) in their Manchester United career. Failure to become a first team regular, himself and/or Sir Alex Ferguson may decide the future of the man [...]
