Chanting; where do we draw the line?

Stretford End Arising — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 08:56:50 +0000

By Shamoon Hafez. This is my blogging debut, I’m more used to doing match reports or features, so go easy on me with comments. As you may, or may not know, I’m a journalist for BBC Sport but also a hardcore United fan, attending home games regularly and the occasional away game as well. Yesterday’s [...]

Five Things We Learnt From Man United’s Victory Over Chelsea

Stretford End Arising — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 22:10:12 +0000

By Nathan Thomas. Well, not quite the blistering football we’ve been used to so far this season but considering the quality in Chelsea’s team I’d call that a brilliant result. In the end it was United’s superior finishing that won the day and we even managed to miss a couple of sitters, we can’t complain [...]

To tweet, or not to tweet

Stretford End Arising — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 09:42:59 +0000

By Adam Hicks. 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 [...]

How will six fit into two?

Stretford End Arising — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:41:32 +0000

Contribution by James Johnson It seems like a strange idea that the joint top scorer in the Premier League last season isn’t likely to be first choice for his club this season. However that is exactly what is on the cards for Dimitar Berbatov. Berbatov is one player who can seemingly split the opinions of [...]

Michael Owen: The forgotten man

Stretford End Arising — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 02:00:50 +0000

Contribution by Oscar Chamberlain Having spent yet another season on the bench and in the treatment room it is looking increasingly likely that Michael Owens’s anticlimactic Manchester United career may be coming to an end. The emergence of Javier Hernandez has restricted Owens’s opportunities and lead to him becoming third choice at Old Trafford behind [...]

Player Ratings: Scunthorpe United vs. Manchester United

Stretford End Arising — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 15:24:19 +0000

Starting XI: Kuszczak – 7: Plenty of work to enjoy – dealt with numerous shots from Scunthorpe – including a couple of good saves. Future Manchester United No.1? I have doubts – he is a good shot stopper, but questions surround his ability to claim crosses and poor distribution. Brown – 6: Did okay – [...]

Loan Move for Mame Biram Diouf? Good or Bad Idea?

Stretford End Arising — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:42:17 +0000

Recent rumours have linked Mame Biram Diouf with a loan move away from Manchester United. Is a loan move good or bad idea for the Senegalese? Diouf possesses pace, a good spring (useful in the air) and is a cool finisher. After hiss debut I was unsure what we had signed. His touch and passing was [...]
