What. A. Game! If there ever was a marque game for the Premier League it was this one. Great goals, drama, penalties, a wonderful comeback, and horrible refereeing. A lot of people are of the opinion that Howard Webb was Uniteds best player of the day, but the "best referee in the world" had an [...]

Manchester United produced a trademark comeback to force a draw at Stamford Bridge. Two Wayne Rooney's penalties and a late equaliser by Javier Hernandez saw United snatching a draw from the jaws of defeat, after having been 3-0 down at one stage, while David DeGea produced two outstanding saves deep in injury time to deny Chelsea [.

Just a few observations to make.... (1) It's the passing stupid! Every time Man United lose or play badly the passing is dreadful, and therein lays the causality. I don't think there's anything...

Craven Cottage has been a difficult ground for Manchester United through the years, with only 1 point from 9 during the Reds' last three visits there. If that is not bad enough, United had conceded 7 goals from those three games, which is painful reading for a team that puts a lot of emphasis on [...

Manchester United's victory against Wolves saw the club manage to score more than 3 goals in a single game for the first time since visiting The Reebok in early September. After possibly one of the hardest weeks in Sir Alex's career, he must be overjoyed to see his players play with the swagger and determination [.

"Thursday nights, Channel 5!" was a chant designed by Manchester United fans when Liverpool failed to get a top four spot in 2010, but expect it to be heard more often the next few months. United's loss to Basel was excruciating, humiliating, and painful. Memories of Benfica and the failings of the 2005/06 season were [.

Another Premier League game, another 1-0 win. For the 7th consecutive Premier League game, United scored only one goal against their opposition. But following our horrendous defensive performances at the start of the season, who would have thought that the single goal would be enough to win 4 of those games?

Three days since Sir Alex Ferguson's midweek remorse, Phil Jones opened his account for Manchester United scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory at Villa Park, much to the delight of the boss himself. Ater the shocking display against Palace on wednesday night and with City putting 5 past Norwich earlier in the day, [.

"How did Manchester United not win this game?" is the question on everyone's lips after an amazing 1-1 draw at Old Trafford between the Red Devils and the Geordies from Tyneside. United created tons of chances, with everything from a great goalkeeper and posts, to miraculous goal-line clearances keeping them at bay.

In all honesty, it is not often I can look back on a Manchester United draw in satisfaction. However, following a couple of weeks where attacking play seems like a taboo, United fans anticipated a strong offensive performance when Benfica visited Old Trafford for their Champions League crunch match. After the Derby Day slaughtering at [.

Manchester United are top of group C in the Champions League, after goals from Antonio Valencia and Wayne Rooney secured a 2-0 win at Old Trafford. It was a largely uninspiring performance by Fergie's men and, with the greatest respect for Galati, against a slightly better organized United could have paid the price for their [.

Never in my wildest nightmares, never ever did I expect this. And yet it happened. Last night I played a match between Manchester United and Manchester City with FIFA 12 on my XBOX 360 as a precursor to the real deal which would be happening just 12 hours later UK time. I like to play [...]

United's unbeaten record at home came to an end in incredible fashion as a second half collapse saw them conceding 5 goals. For the last couple of seasons this fixture has been surrounded by an ever-growing hype and this year was no exception. City and United went into the game 1st and 2nd respectively both [.

Well it wasn't a classic that's for sure. These days it has become apparent to me that waking up at 4:30 Pacific Standard Time to watch my beloved Manchester United is the action of stupid man not interested in his health and sleeping pattern. Frankly, the past few years has taught me to expect a [..

There are times as a Manchester United supporter when trying to understand what makes a team succeed or fail can be a challenge. The match at today at the Britannia Stadium against Stoke was indeed a match that challenged my thinking as it forced me to ask many questions but also find trouble answering as [.

Haven't we seen this before? I knew it wouldn't last. I mean Fergie could never let things just be. It was asking too much for us to carry our youth movement, scintillating pace and form over the Channel and into the continent and expect a similar starting squad and the tactics that have wowed us for [.

Manchester United's hot start to the season continued with a 5-0 win against Bolton.

Arsenal walked into the Theatre of Dreams full of anticipation following their good midweek Champions League win at Udinese, only to depart a couple of hours later having suffered a hellish...

United put on a polished display with a young squad to defeat Spurs 3-0 at Old Trafford.

Rejoice, all ye fellow lilywhites. Admittedly it is also with a degree of trepidation (Old Trafford will do that to a Spurs fan) but goodness me it is wonderful finally to be able to look forward to Spurs in Premiership action tonight. ‘Tis with delight therefore that I invite you to gather round and peruse with me the permutations of team selection for the evening's festivities.

Old Trafford. Spurs always get a great result there. Should be a stroll and an easy three points.

I hope one day to be able to write that as a preview for a Spurs visit to Manchester United, this isn't the time though.

It's been slightly over a month now since our dismantling at the hands of Barcelona. Yet, the pain has been eased (or blotted out depending on your preferred perspective) somewhat by our activity in the transfer market thus far.

With Edwin Van Der Sar retiring after Saturdays Champions League final when Man Utd face Barcelona at Wembley (what a way to bow out of the game!), United will need to replace the reliable Dutch stopper and it seems to be that they have found a near identical, if what comparatively unexperienced keeper in David De Gea.

Well, well, well.

Who wasn't just a bit suspicious when, asked a few weeks ago about Edwin Van Der Sar's impending retirement, Sir Alex Ferguson commented that now would be the right time for the great Dutchman to end his career on a high and at his peak?

No no, not because that's a stupid way to think, although it is.

Transfer rumours are a dime a dozen. Very few have genuine substance so they should always be taken with a huge amount of cynicism. Yet they cannot be completely ignored in case there's the slightest...
