| I’ll be back tomorrow… |
| 2008-02-29 10:18:43 |
I’m fighting off a bout with the flu, so looking at the computer screen has given me headaches the past couple days. I’m beginning to feel better though, so I should return tomorrow with a match review....

Not much news to report today, so I plan on making a lot out of a little.
Saha to Recruit Benzema
In what would be one of the cruelest maneuvers ever employed at Manchester United, the Mirror reports that Sir Alex Ferguson has asked Louis Saha to help recruit Karim Benzema from Lyon. I dearly hope this [...]...

| Point And Laugh: Real Madrid and Arjen Robben |
| 2008-02-26 15:03:21 |
From The Offside:
Raul squares to Arjen Robben, Arjen Robben sidefoots it home. Madrid">Real Madrid celebrate. But they don’t notice the linesman’s flag signaling Raul was offside. So while Madrid’s players congratulate each other, Getafe take the ball up the other end, outnumber the handful of Madrid players who were actually paying attention, and Ikechukwu Uche [...]...

| United Daily: Get Well, Eduardo. |
| 2008-02-24 08:59:34 |
I am strapped for time today, so instead of reliving yesterday’s massacre and singing the praises of our United side–all of whom performed admirably yesterday–I’m going to use this time to do something a little different.
Arsenal striker Eduardo had his leg broken by Birmingham City defender Martin Taylor. Here’s what Arseblog had to say [...]...

| 2008-02-23 13:37:19 |
(Newcastle supporters: I’m sorry. I fully appreciate your plight. As a Chicago Cubs baseball fan I’m fully aware of what it’s like to support a side that does nothing but disappoint you so profoundly on an annual basis. Please take no offense to the following.)
What a sorry side Newcastle is. They [...]...

| Match Preview: Newcastle v Manchester United |
| 2008-02-22 11:54:15 |
I know that Manchester United has been a bit erratic of late. They have experienced massive fluctuations in form within extremely short intervals. They have amazed and awed, then stunned and confounded us. From our demoralizing loss to Manchester City to our triumphant slaughter of Arsenal, just which Manchester United side you will get has [...]...

Yeah, I don’t really know anything about the match last night that I didn’t read in the papers. It wasn’t televised here in the States and I had to work during the match, so I wasn’t able to Sopcast it either. Poor me.
From what I’ve read, however, there seem to be a few [...]...

It’s match day. This evening we face Lyon in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Thus, it is time to check in with Fergie and his lads to see how United are feeling today.
Evra’s Take
United seem to be a confident bunch coming off the heels of Saturday’s victory over [...]...

Gallas Avoids Punishment
If you aren’t already aware, William Gallas will not be disciplined for his unspotted kick at Nani on Saturday. While I do think the kick was deserving of some type of punishment, as he certainly would have been disciplined if [...]...

| Man United Daily: The Morning After… |

The morning after and I’m still surprised. How proud I am of the boys who took the field for us yesterday. I was cynical about them from the start yesterday and they spent the next 90 minutes proving me wrong. It was one of those matches where you watch the entire contest [...]...

| FA Cup Match Review: Manchester United 4-0 Arsenal |
| 2008-02-16 15:21:34 |
That was simple. Arsenal was roundly embarrassed by an unquestionably superior Manchester United today. Exhibiting absolutely none of the qualities that have placed them atop the Premier League table and all of the qualities that make them such a despicable, loathsome club, Arsenal may not have fielded their first choice side, but their [...]...

| FA Cup Match Preview: Manchester United v Arsenal |
| 2008-02-15 08:41:01 |
(For the match review, click here.)
I stated last week, following our deflating loss to Manchester City, that United has reached its lowest point of the season. Coupled with the previous week’s uninspired draw against Tottenham Hotspur, United is certainly trending downward. Conceding the derby double to Man City is depressing enough, but [...]...

Not much news today, so I want to run something by all of you. As some of you know, Red Ranter and I have been engaged in a fairly academic discussion over the proposed 39th game and all it’s potential meanings. I came to the conclusion that there is a void [...]...

| Remember, We Aren’t Rubbish. |
| 2008-02-12 10:15:09 |
Following Sunday’s disastrous performance against City, the United community has been hanging its collective head. While this is understandable, we must remember that we aren’t crap. This compilation may serve as a reminder that we are capable of great things and shouldn’t lose hope just yet.

Arsenal Go Five Clear
Arsenal won 2-0 against Blackburn Rovers last night to solidify their lead atop the Premiership table. Their victory sets them five points clear of United and eight points clear of a Chelsea side that seem to be going through many of the same issues we are. In fact, the only [...]...

Fergie Pleased
After the match Sir Alex Ferguson had this to say about the performance:
“It could be massive. We don’t stop trying. When we’re 1-0 down we’ll throw everything at a game, we’ve always done that. All things being equal, a point’s a good point for us, bearing in mind we were 1-0 down [...]...

| Match Review: Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Manchester United |
| 2008-02-02 11:42:24 |
We certainly didn’t deserve to take a point from that contest. United were exposed for all of their weaknesses today by an inspired Tottenham Hotspur side that was truly unlucky not to win. I don’t even know where to begin with our team’s performance today, but it was not good in any aspect. [...]...

In 1965, Tottenham had their way with United 5-1. I’m not usually keen on showing video of United getting throttled, but the video quality here is remarkable.

Match Preview
Didn’t I just write this article a couple days ago? Oh, we’re away this time. Well I guess that changes things enough to write another one.
Not much has changed since United defeated Tottenham 3-1 last weekend. United’s stellar form has continued. A midweek double from Cristiano Ronaldo saw United [...]...

…The Morning After
It’s the morning after match day and, to no one’s surprise, everyone is pleased with Christiano Ronaldo. His thirteenth minute free-kick goal was the stuff of overnight legend and the papers sing his praises in unison today. The Portuguese winger could stand and be counted among those who were happy with [...]...

| Match Review: Manchester United 2-0 Portsmouth |
| 2008-01-30 23:42:51 |
There is no need for great analysis. By any conceivable metric Manchester United were the superior side today. Outclassing Pompey from the start, Christiano Ronaldo and Manchester United sealed the victory after only 13 minutes of play and the remaining 77 minutes were a mere formality. One could analyze the minutes that [...]...

Tevez wants to play five more years before returning home to Argentina.
Arsene Wenger couldn’t resist criticizing our trip to Saudi Arabia.
Ferguson will pay Ronaldo if he scores 30 league goals this season.
I’ll be [...]...

As has been documented previously, it is nearly impossible to view FA Cup matches here in the States. You Brits are so possessive of your domestic cup that “contractual obligations” won’t even allow an American to listen to the matches on the radio. Maddening stuff. So here I sat on match day, forced to make [...]...

Which Pairing Constitutes SAF’s Best Midfield?
The Telegraph features an interesting article today illustrating the difficulties Alex Ferguson will have selecting midfield pairings. The imminent return of a healthy Paul Scholes gives Manchester United an embarrassment of riches at the midfield, with Scholes joining Owen Hargreaves, Anderson and Michael Carrick as legitimate first-team options. The article [...]...

Even fielding a side that wasn’t exactly full strength and suffering from some questionable officiating, Manchester United’s midweek exhibition loss to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal was hardly comforting. Our surprising failures in Riyadh coupled with an equally surprising 5-1 trouncing of Arsenal at the hands of this weekend’s opponents, Tottenham Hotspur, make United’s forthcoming FA [...]...
