John Terry, AIG and Fergie’s Rant on Hackett

1
We all, by now, are aware that John Terry's red card has been rescinded. The word, I can't seem to find the link, goes that his punishment (i.e., the one match ban) has been 'reduced' rather than his red card being revoked. This in itself strikes me as strange, because I would imagine a red [...] Click to continue reading...

Some Waffle Ahead of Liverpool Game

0
Late post today, but better late than never. Cristiano Ronaldo is inching closer to a return to the side and feels frustrated at not being involved in United's current campaign. "I hope I'll be back to playing football soon. I already count the days to my return and the recovery process is going perfectly. Click to continue reading...

Benitez Smokescreen Over Duo | United’s Champions’ League Squad Announced

0
Rafa Benitez is still hopeful over his star duo Gerrard and Torres returning for our trip to Anfield. This comes in the face of Gerrard ruling himself out and Torres being out with a hamstring injury. I would think a hamstring injury takes about two to four weeks to heal and even if [...] Click to continue reading...

Gill on City and Ronaldo

1
There's been a lot of nonsense circulating in the media lately regarding David Gill's comments on the reported £135m offer from Man City for Ronaldo. Leave all those reports alone. I suggest you listen to what David Gill had to say exactly and make up your own minds about it. Here's the link to the interview [. Click to continue reading...

Brief International Roundup + Berbatov’s Fitness Regime

1
Zzzzzz... So have you ever seen such a boring period of absolutely no football? Well, I know the answer to that is yes; all international breaks are like that. But when we went through a nerve wracking 24-hour period as the transfer window shut, any period of no club football would seem terribly empty. Click to continue reading...

Some More BerbaTalk

0
Yes, I've coined that word and have applied for a copyright. Today we'll indulge in a little more BerbaTalk©®, as I've never really penned my thoughts on the Bulgarian, post-transfer. Reports yesterday suggested that we've indulged in some underhanded dealing with regards to Dimitar Berbatov. Click to continue reading...

What Did We Learn from Deadline Day Transfers

3
Paying over the odds to Tottenham (yet again) for the signature of Dimitar Berbatov: £30.74 million. Citeh paying over the odds to Real Madrid to prise Robinho from under the noses of Chelsea: £32.5 million. The look on the faces of Peter "I fucked it up again" Kenyon and (some) eager Chelsea fans: Priceless. Click to continue reading...

Newcastle Squad - Quality Great - Quantity Not So Great

1
When all the dust settled after midnight last night, the facts were that Newcastle United had brought in two seemingly good players in 22 year-old Spanish striker Xisco, and a loan signing from Valencia – 26 year-old Inglacio Gonzalez, a Uruguayan on a one year loan deal. Kevin Keegan - good news bad news - quality [. Click to continue reading...

Deadline Day Looms…

2
We lost the Super Cup to Zenit. Chelsea proved they are still shit by dropping points. Liverpool drew to Villa, sussing out early season optimism and, more importantly, both Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are extremely doubtful for our Anfield visit. We have no news on Berbatov, yet. Either way we'll get to know it [. Click to continue reading...

Some Words on Vidic + Fabio’s Cracker + Berbayawn

0
Sometimes honesty can be misplaced and ill-advised. Most of what Vidic said was true. Perhaps he could have been less honest about some of the stuff he said. Or perhaps, should we applaud him for his honesty? Who knows, really! But what irks me is the tone adopted on some of the broad sheets. Let's consider this [. Click to continue reading...

According to reports, a Manchester United player who goes by the name Cristiano Ronaldo has just returned to light training.

It's a quiet day if you ignore the words Dimitar Berbatov. But you can't ignore it today, because otherwise, there wouldn't be much to write about here. So let's not ignore it and decide to talk about it. Er, okay... Dimitar Berbatov is on the brink of joining Manchester United according to most sports outlets. Click to continue reading...

This will be pretty brief because I couldn't watch much of the friendly between United and the Kaizer Chiefs.

This is the problem with lazy journalism. One paper reports something, quoting "unnamed sources" and the entire press corps take it up citing "other reports".

Amidst the supposed gloom and transfer kerfuffle, Manchester United, as if like an afterthought, return to playing action against Aberdeen tomorrow.
