Hargreaves Update - Trip To Leicester For Specialist Next Week

Manchester United have played without our first choice four central midfielders following injuries and International duty. Whilst Ryan Giggs and Darren Fletcher are working hard to fill the void, which was illustrated in their play for our goal against Everton today, it can't be ignored we're missing the creativity Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes provide [.

Fergie Responds To Ridiculous Rumours

Earlier in the week there were a couple of stories suggesting Owen Hargreaves and Carlos Tevez were on their way out of Manchester United.

Injuries: Carrick and Hargreaves To Create Midfield Problem

During the pre-season I started to wonder how on earth we were going to pick our strongest XI. With all players available, it was looking as though one of Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez would have to be dropped, whilst just two players from the group of Owen Hargreaves, Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick, [.

Hargreaves: My Chant Makes Me Laugh

Owen Hargreaves joined United as a highly rated player, after being shunned by England fans for years. Sir Alex Ferguson had been chasing him for a number of years, but finally got his man last summer. Hargreaves scored our winner against Arsenal just weeks before the end of the season, as well as putting away a [. Click to continue reading...

Paul Scholes was stretchered off with 15 minutes played in United's Champions League group stage match against Aalborg.

Owen sends rallying cry to the Newcastle players

Newcastle United captain Michael Owen has told his team-mates to "snap out of the doom and gloom" that he thinks is adversely affecting the team. Newcastle have lost their last three games and sit only one from the bottom of the Premier League. The club is manager less and for sale. There is no doubt that the players must be affected by it, but Owen says it is time to move on. Click to continue reading...

Is the CSA is driving away our best and brightest?

Owen Hargreaves. Jonathan de Guzman. Just two international players who could have donned Canadian colours but choose, for one reason or another, not to. Perhaps that reason is the Canadian Soccer Association. I've always been bitter about Hargreaves choosing to play for England over Canada. But a new interview with Hargreaves in Soccer360 is shedding some [. Click to continue reading...

Good Game Bad Game [vs Manchester United]

I have a confession to make: I didn't feel too good before this game. We've been playing too poorly to be in any condition to face United especially without Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres.

I shouldn't have troubled myself because it was pride and determination rather than form that decided this game. Click to continue reading...

Part 2 of Wayne Rooney's Interview With Fabio Capello

England blasted Croatia 4-1 yesterday in Zagreb in their second World Cup 2010 qualifying game, spurred by a hat trick from Theo Walcott, of all people. It was an impressive victory, to be sure, especially since Croatia hadn't lost in a competitive game on home soil since 1994 and England was missing Steven Gerrard and Owen Hargreaves.

League Clubs Bigger Than England

The football fan that has confused me more than any other is the England fan who will sing Wayne Rooney's name when they're at Wembley, yet will come to Old Trafford the following week and chant "you fat bastard!" whenever he's on the ball.

Poor guy.
