Congratulations to Patrice Evra, Darren Fletcher, Antonio Valencia and Wayne Rooney for being selected in the Premier League team of the year. Evra has performed like a robot for Manchester United this season – he has been constantly excellent. United would have been lost without his contribution, when considering the injury crisis the team has [...]

With the uncertainty of Gary Neville’s future (yet to sign a contract extension) I decided to run a poll on which current Manchester United player us fans wanted as their next club captain. I felt the obvious candidates were Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, and Wayne Rooney. Other was another option which saw notable [...]

This is an update from a previous article. I’ve heard a lot of nonsense uttered on the television and radio this season. The suggestion is Manchester United are only a one man team – if Rooney has a poor game or is unavailable for whatever reason United will lose. What complete rubbish! It’s fair to [...]

As were in the final stretch of the season, it’s time we looked at the final remaining fixtures to see which team I feel will be crowned champions of England for the 2009/10 season.

With the uncertainty of Gary Neville’s future (yet to sign a new contract) who do you think should be the next captain of Manchester United? The obvious candidates are: Ryan Giggs Rio Ferdinand Patrice Evra Wayne Rooney Whilst Gary Neville has been out injured Giggs has taken over the captaincy role. In terms of seniority [...]

As Champions League football returns this week, there has been a decent amount of debate and discussion about the quality of football this season in the Premier League. I think it would be fair to suggest there has been a slight drop in the quality of football this season. This surely is solely not due [...]

Seeing as this is a FA Cup weekend and we have no fixture I‘ve decided to take a closer look at the title run in. Perhaps I was a tad heisty in a previous blog suggesting Arsenal are out of the title race, although I believe Arsenal to be a firm outsider of the three. [...]

The date was 27th January 2010, the day of the Carling Cup semi-final, second leg against Manchester City. I had listened to talkSPORT throughout the day; the suggestion was the outcome of tonight’s game may produce a football power shift in Manchester. What have Manchester City won or achieved for there to be considered a [...]
