Following a Champions League exit and the news that Nemanja Vidic [...]

Twitter is fast becoming a dangerous playground for some footballers as their comments are causing controversy and forcing clubs to re-think their stance on social networking sites. Joey Barton is the latest player to hit the headlines for misusing the site, last week he criticised the Newcastle United board and was subsequently [...]

All and sundry were expecting changes this summer and it appears that Sir Alex Ferguson has concurred with their view. The Manchester outfit have acquired three fresh faces [...]

Top of the Premier League, Quarter-Final stage of the Champions League and a mouth watering Semi-Final clash against Manchester City in the FA Cup. Sounds good doesn’t it? Despite that, there is a large rebuilding job to be [...]

We all have our reserved opinions on Darron Gibson. Whether you think he’s a waste of space on the payroll, or whether you think he’s going to “do a Fletcher” and come good after years of criticism; we must accept that he’s in our squad – and I for one, am happy [...]

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 [...]

There is a lack of creativity from centre midfield with a 35 year old Paul Scholes still our most creative player. I love Scholes, he’s had a decent season however [...]

Yeah, me too! Manchester United had the tie won if it wasn’t for poor defending from Michael Carrick and the soft dismissal of Rafael. United’s performance over the two legs was scattered with defensive blunders, from Gary Neville’s daft handball to Patrice Evra’s inability to clear the ball during [...]

There was a talking point even before the match started. Where was Rio Ferdinand? According to Mike Phelan, Rio had a few ‘knocks’ from training, it was decided playing Rio wasn’t worth the risk with big games ahead. I’m hoping by [...]
