Shameless Defence Of Chelsea’s Drogba… But What About Rooney’s Fan Relations?

0
"Die die, Rooney Rooney, die!" sing the Everton fans whenever they face Wayne Rooney, their former hero. Rooney doesn't stick his fingers up at them, swear at them, or respond in a negative way. Instead, he celebrates ecstatically when we score and kisses our badge. All a bit of harmless banter, with Rooney returning the [. Click to continue reading...

No Contract Offer For Neville… But Does He Deserve One?

1
It was a bittersweet moment for Gary Neville at the end of last season. As as lifelong United fan, to celebrate on the pitch in Moscow after seeing the club win the European Cup must have been an amazing feeling. The Premiership title had been won a week or so before, with United really establishing [. Click to continue reading...

Wes: We’ve Been Here Donkey’s Years…But Rafael Is Good For Club

4
Against West Brom at the weekend, both Gary Neville and Wes Brown found themselves on the bench, with Rafael Da Silva starting at right back. Neville replaced the Brazilian with just over an hour played, whilst Wes remained on the bench throughout. Whilst I think it's a great thing to have so many competent players on [.

Neville: I Hope Liverpool Don’t Pose A Threat To Our Title

2
"Gary Neville is a red, he hates scousers!" the fans sing. Aside from Neville's no-nonsense approach to football, and his desire to stick by his team mates, it's his strong feelings on Liverpool that have really endeared him to our fans. When Rio Ferdinand scored in the last minute against the dippers, Neville seemingly celebrated on [. Click to continue reading...

Former FA Chief Reveals Neville’s England Strike Plan On Rio’s Behalf

1
The lengthy ban and extortionate fine dished out by the FA to Rio Ferdinand is something I have challenged time and again on this blog. There have been countless incidents which are comparable to that of Ferdinand, from Christian Negouai to Adrian Mutu, where their punishments were nowhere near as severe as that of Ferdinand.

Neville: I’m Not A Great Sub

2
It was quite remarkable to hear the names of our substitutes read out at Old Trafford last weekend. Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Nani were amongst our seven substitutes, with Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves out injured. That is the kind of strength in depth we've been searching for all these years. Click to continue reading...

Is Neville Playing As Well As Ferguson Thinks?

1
With Gary Neville's proposed date for his return to injury set back so many times, United fans began to worry whether their captain would ever be able to hold down a place in our team again. Like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before him, would Neville be forced in to retirement because of his reoccurring injuries? Click to continue reading...

Manucho Unleashed?

Manucho, the Angola striker named in the Africa Cup of Nations Best 11, could make his Manchester United debut tonight Carling Cup against Boro. I didn't know too much about him so, to save you faithful readers the trouble, I researched him and have to say I'm looking forward to seeing him have a run out.

Ridiculous Rotation: Fantasy Fringe Players Get a Chance

A few thoughts as fantasy managers get their heads around the unlikeliest of heroes Salomon Kalou and Ji-Sung Park coming through in the clutch at Stamford Bridge this past weekend.
We know about Rafa's dreaded rotation policy at Liverpool. But let's take a closer look at a few other short-term and long-term rotational and injury quandaries that could affect thousands of fantasy premier league managers this season. Click to continue reading...

I've just watched Manchester United fight their way to a point in a typical early season battle at Stamford Bridge. The best player on each team, Ronaldo and Drogba, are both far from their best and both started on the bench. The football was average, so to me, the biggest story from this team was [.

Out With The Old And In With The New? Evans To Replace Neville

2
Gary Neville's injury got fairly tedious for the fans last season. He was forever on the verge of a comeback, yet at the last minute, there'd always be another set back. He'd get an odd game for the Reserves here and there, then pick up another injury. Neville finally returned to the first team in our [. Click to continue reading...

Why Super Cup defeat will give Fergie cause for concern...

1
With the transfer window set to slam shut until January and with no new signings on board Fergie will be concerned with United's lacklustre display in the Super Final in Monaco that ended with Zenit St Petersburg lifting the trophy by the odd goal in three. Vidic's consolation goal led to a late attacking flurry by the Reds, but for too much of this match United were very much second best all over the park. Click to continue reading...

Battle For Appearances: Wes vs Gary

If Wes Brown plays today, he will be making his 200th league appearance for us (308 overall), meaning he is just a few games short of matching Brian Kidd, Harry Gregg and Norman Whiteside's totals. However, Gary Neville should be in contention for starting, which would be his 350th start for the club, and his 543rd [. Click to continue reading...

United's Silva lining as Neville looks set for continued bench role...

United drawing with Newcastle on Sunday did not surprise me, I'd predicted it might well happen on this blog, nor has it surprised me in the slightest that Gary Neville looks to have dropped down the pecking order with Wes Brown and Raphael da Silva being preferred to the England defender.

Gary Neville has done well to recover following his 16 month struggle to regain full fitness, but in some ways his biggest battle lies ahead. Click to continue reading...

Things that are good

1. Toronto FC finally won a game -- not only that, but it was an away win! And a game they really shouldn't have won at all. They were missing a bunch of players, and they had a grand total of two shots on target -- but one of those was the only goal of the game, a gorgeous free kick by Chad Barrett.

Paul Robinson to Blackburn...

I have to admit, I'm a big fan of Robbo's, and of all the Premiership keepers who have fallen from grace, his is perhaps one of the most spectacular. A series of high-profile mistakes cost the former England #1 his place at both club and country levels. His most unfortunate moment came, of course, with Gary Neville's backpass against Croatia - the moment at which everything started to get away from him. Click to continue reading...
