Guest Post: The Chelsea Game

The Offside - Bolton Wanderers 04 November @ 01:04 PM EST

As I mentioned earlier, my father was at the Chelsea game this past Saturday. I had him write my a little guest blog, and as promised here it is.
I arrived at the Reebok in gentle late afternoon sunshine. No, that's not a joke. In fact, you can tell that the stadium was not built with sunshine in mind, since for the first half an hour or so I was there, it was shining directly into my eyes (at first I was so surprised by the unaccustomed glow I thought Wigan must be on fire – no such luck, however), making it hard to concentrate on the cheerleaders.

Bring On The Knockout

The Dribzleroo 03 November @ 08:10 PM EST

Manchester United booked its passage to the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League in dramatic and somewhat embarrassing fashion. If a side like CSKA Moscow can come to Old Trafford and score goals in the manner they did, I don't think the Special One at Inter Milan or Barcelona's Pep Guardiola will be having sleepless nights worrying about United's threat to their title hopes.

Obertan impressed midweek in the Carling Cup against Barnsley, but seeing him against Premiership opposition just meant that much more.

Republik Of Mancunia 02 November @ 06:30 AM EST

In last week's 2-0 victory over Barnsley we were forced to see out another League Cup with ten men following Gary Neville's sending off.

Just days after losing at Anfield, passionate scouse-hater Neville left a foot in on Liverpool supporting Adam Hammill after winning the ball.

Pre-match thoughts on Blackburn Rovers

ManUtd24 30 October @ 01:59 PM EST

By Gareth Freeman

United's Carling Cup win over Barnsley was encouraging in the fact the ‘squad' players came in and gave a decent account of themselves. Michael Owen's goal was vintage Owen, he showed neat skills and a cool composure to send the ball into the net but, with all due respect to Barnsley, he should have registered a goal against the opposition.

Manchester United v Blackburn Preview

Premiership Talk Blog 30 October @ 09:00 AM EST

A demoralized Manchester United team takes on a flu-struck  Blackburn side at Old Trafford on Saturday. Sir Alex Ferguson will be hoping his side can recover from their disappointing 2-0 loss at the hands of rivals Liverpool last weekend. A convincing win over Barnsley midweek in the Carling Cup provided some encouragement for United's youngsters, but it should be back to business for the bulk of the United first team.
