Referee watch: West Ham United vs. Manchester United

Stretford End Arising — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 09:25:36 +0000

Contribution by Matthew Campbell I don’t like to slate referees but I have to say that West Ham should be furious with the performance of Lee Mason this afternoon. Now I am not saying that Manchester United didn’t deserve to win, because they undoubtedly in, but they can have at least two decisions to thank [...]

Player Ratings: West Ham United vs. Manchester United

Stretford End Arising — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 09:07:02 +0000

Contribution by Jack Rawlinson Despite what the half time score line may have suggested, today’s early kick off saw United play some good football, with only their own errors leading to them being two goals worse off at the interval. In the end, the stats will show that the team that won the match did [...]

SEA’s Player Ratings & Match Thoughts: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester United

Stretford End Arising — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 14:54:54 +0000

Midfield Problems Rears Its Ugly Head Not for the first time this season our central midfield has struggled when the opposition have looked to exert pressure. Why? In the main Sir Alex has preferred a 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 formation (due to the excellent form of Berbatov), which is fine for matches at Old Trafford, but is fraught [...]

Match Preview: Manchester United v Stoke City

Stretford End Arising — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 16:57:45 +0000

By Sleepy So, halfway through the season with only Blackpool and Chelsea not faced due to postponements (the latter very legitimate because of a cold ‘mist’!), Manchester United remain unbeaten and still yet to find full throttle in the race for the Championship.

By Sleepy Manchester United travel to West Brom on New Year’s Day (1/1/11) for what could be a highly entertaining match given the aesthetic ambitions (yet stark weaknesses) of the Italian manager ‘Robbie’ Di Matteo. The home team will be hoping to avoid a 4th successive defeat in the league, whilst Man United will be [...]

Match Preview: Birmingham City v Manchester United

Stretford End Arising — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 18:49:09 +0000

by Sleepy Whilst Birmingham have been on a slippery slope of late, McLeish’s side are still a team to be reckoned with at St Andrews and lining up in a functional 4-5-1 they will be very hard to break down. Credit: This11 With this in mind I envisage Sir Alex will match their set-up and [...]

Manchester United v Sunderland: Boxing Day Preview

Stretford End Arising — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 01:07:44 +0000

By Sleepy Ferguson may elect to utilise his squad for the visit of Sunderland as his side have a tough schedule of 3 games in 6 days over the festive period. Credit: This11 Brown may get the nod ahead of the now established first choice right back Rafael Da Silva. He will likely be up [...]
