| Rough Start for Manchester United |
| 2008-08-19 09:25:00 |
We were playing in our home ground on our first match of the season. We were up against one of the most under performing team of last season; Newcastle United. The premises were promising for a great season start up with a win, but it was not to be that way...Instead, we were drawn for a 1-1 scoreline. Suggested that the main reason for the draw was the absence of one Carlos Tevez. Tevez has been a beast throughout the pre-season, and Frazier Campbell, tough also had shown a lot of potential during the pre-season, just can't fill into the Argentinian's role of playing and influence in the attacking department.And not only that, we actually conceded the first goal against Newcastle. It was Obafemi Martins who drew first blood for the home team. The Nigerian, tough he had a bad season last y...

| Cristiano "Slave" Ronaldo : "I'm Staying with Manchester United" |
| 2008-08-08 11:06:00 |
Finally, the long awaited confirmation from the most controversial figure in world football has been said by the man in question himself. Cristiano Ronaldo will be a part of the Manchester United's squad for the 2008/2009 season. After performing of what many consider as the finest display of football in the modern era, by scoring over 40 goals in all competition last season, Ronaldo has been the main discussion and focus of the uncertain world of football transfer saga, especially during the Euro 2008 tournament. On that particular tournament, Ronaldo said in an interview that he wants to play for Real Madrid but it is not up to him. Madrid, not wanting to let another "merchandise seller" goes to waste, embraced Ronaldo's ambition of new challenge. They went for any means possible, inclu...

Manchester United continued their positive runs in their pre-season friendlies. Against Portsmouth at the Abuja National Stadium in Lagos, Nigeria, Manchester United manage to beat their FA Community Shield opponent by 2 goals to 1.

| Thank You Ole !!!! |
| 2008-07-28 02:22:00 |
On August 2nd 2008, Old Trafford will pay tribute to one of the greatest legend ever to grace it's pitch : Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Ole will officially retire as a legend at Manchester United with a testimonial match held at Old Trafford. It's going to be both a great and a sad day for Manchester United fans. Because we are going to say goodbye for the player that won the treble in 1999 but at the same time we will remember of what a great player we had.Ole, unlike any other United stars, is the most beloved player by the fans to this date. Cantona amazes us, Roy Keane made us respect him, Ronaldo entertains us, but nobody is as warm and as close to the fans than Ole. He is our "everyday hero", he is the guy that shut his mouth and does his talking on the pitch, he never once made a hassle or...

| Carlito is Finally a 100% Red Devil |
| 2008-07-26 09:05:00 |
Carlos "Carlito" Tevez is finally a 100% Red Devil. Tevez who came from West Ham, has a shared ownership between Manchester United and MSI (Media Sports Investment). Manchester United paid a fee of £35 million to gain the full ownership of the Argentinian contract and services, a sum that is a record breaking fee as far as British football concerns.It's a great news for Manchester United, no one can deny what a great impact Tevez has been last season despite the fact that he was currently "on loan" from MSI.Tevez has quickly become an integral part of Ferguson's attack, scoring 19 goals in 48 appearances for United in his first season. Realizing that, Fergie was quickly on the move to sign Tevez permanently on a long term contract."I've talked to Carlos, and I told him that he is a pa...
