Blame it on the rain

Bloggers and tabloid journalists are enjoying the seeming fall of Manchester United this summer.  A number of international stars have appeared to turned their nose up on a move to the Premier League and the jewel in the crown, Cristiano “Tango” Ronaldo, has finally got the move to La Liga that he spent the last […]

2009/10 Premier League favourites: Liverpool?

I know the Internet is full of trolls – people who deliberately post inciting messages just to get attention and a reaction. Usually these messages contain outrageous claims and opinions that are clearly extremist for the shock value.  But sometimes, while obvously still troll-esque, they contain opinions that have a mainstream following and do have […]

Webb of Deceit

Just noticed this. Jermaine Jenas could face disciplinary action over his comments about referee Howard Webb following Tottenham’s 5-2 defeat at Manchester United. The Spurs and England midfielder accused Webb of “crumbling under pressure” after the hosts were awarded a controversial penalty while 2-0 down. An Football Association spokesman said: “We have written to Jermaine […]

Selling viruses and spineless sackings

“I wouldn’t sell a virus to that mob” – Alex Ferguson on his relationship with Ronaldo-suitors, Real Madrid Does anyone outside of Glasgow inner-city suburbs know what that even means?  You won’t sell a virus?  Unless it’s in the hands of terrorists a virus is hardly a commodity. “It is spineless, the man who employed […]

Snorkeling with the big four

I’m going to link a few thoughts below so try to stick with me. The Tottenham revival I wouldn’t say Spurs revival (which has seen them jump a mighty one point clear of the relegation zone – but then again eighth place Portsmouth are only five points clear of it themselves) has seen them outplay […]

The Carlos Tevez Ruling Remixed

I was reading an article about today’s ruling in the Sheffield United v West Ham/Carlos Tevez affair and was interested to read several responses from the general public.  In a nutshell the issue was that Sheffield United were well clear of West Ham in the battle to stave off relegation until Carlos Tevez hit a […]

More on the Bore-batov saga

You’ll hear several different stories about what really happened on Saturday.  Some say that Dimitar Berbatov considered himself mentally unfit to play; others say that it was the manager who dropped him from the match day squad due to his attitude and state-of-mind. One thing is for sure, if Berbatov’s move to Manchester United does […]

Kaizer Chiefs v Man United

How hard can it be?  At least Michael Carrick might look useful. The Gareth Barry Mess The red tops have been ensuring that they have had something to write about this summer by updating us daily on the Rafalution.  Incase you fell asleep, here it is in a nutshell. Rafa winks at Gareth. Martin tells […]

Magpies discuss Barton future

Man U News In other news, the transfer merry-go-round continues.  Man U think they might fancy a bit of Colombian striker Falcao for £15m rather than shell out £30m for proven Premiership player Dimitar Berbatov.  Clearly the Diego Forlan fiasco didn’t dent Sir Fergie’s faith in South American strikers. Perhaps more worryingly for Fergie is […]

Race For the Title and Other Tittle Tattle

It’s not over I certainly don’t want to add to the great Sky hype machine but this weekend’s Premier League race could go down to the closing minutes. I did suggest during my relegation preview in February that Wigan could give Man United a problem if they needed a win to stay up on the […]
