My Alarming Realisation…I Don’t Like Ronaldo

3
Whilst not ranting and raving with my disgust in certain players when we're not doing well, I will have a shout if one of our lads is repeatedly screwing up. The likes of Mikael Silvestre, Darren Fletcher, Kieran Richardson and John O'Shea have probably had me grumbling more than anyone else over the past 10 years [. Click to continue reading...

Paul Scholes, Ex-Volleyball Pro

Manchester United last night lost in the Supercup against an organised and highly talented Zenit St. Petersburg side. The final score was 2-1, and the biggest surprise of the night was that Paul Scholes was sent off for receiving 2 yellow cards, the second one a very hilarious one...

Chelsea more hated than Man Utd?

Our team was ravaged by injuries, meaning even the likes of Richardson had a stint in the centre of our midfield. It was painful. Times have changed vastly since then, with Sir Alex [.
