All Four One, and One Four All! 16 October @ 11:20 AM EST

Steven Gerrard AND Fernando Torres are injured for Liverpool's trip to Sunderland.

Mayday Mayday Engine 1 is out. Crap Engine 2 is out as well. We're going down. We're going down. Eject Eject!

Liverpool is pretty piss poor without one of the two. With both gone and Darren Bent scoring goals for fun, it would take a brave man or a fool to bet on a Liverpool point even.

Manchester United Striker Berbatov Should Be Banned for Tottenham Dive (Video)

Caught Offside 14 September @ 03:14 AM EST

I have watched this again and again, I hasten to add I have no axe to grind with Man United, but it's clear that Dimitar has dived and the resultant free kick did of course change the course of the game. Shouldn't simulation result in a ban regardless if it wins a free kick and not a penalty?

A Year in the Life of Man United Striker Dimitar Berbatov (Video)

Caught Offside 03 September @ 07:55 AM EST

Thanks to 101 Great Goals for this one.

There are still those who feel that bringing Dimitar to Manchester United from Tottenham may have been a mistake, well those people are wrong. Those who talk about the fact he isn't a prolific marksman fail to realise that scoring goals is just one facet of his game.

KICKETTE 02 September @ 11:14 AM EST

What's going on in the wonderful world of Dimitar Berbatov? Let's find out.

1. Last week he headed to the bank machine in a fetching black tracksuit. When the cameras appeared, Dimi quickly shoved his money inside his jacket. He's such a cash-tease.

Wigan Athletic 0-5 Manchester Utd

After losing 1-0 to Burnley in midweek, many people doubted how Manchester United would push for a fourth consecutive title without Cristiano Ronaldo.

Wigan Athletic 0-5 Manchester United – Match Ratings and Analysis

Caught Offside 22 August @ 12:12 PM EST

Oh, to be a fly in the half time dressing room!

Whilst it's a god awful cliche whoever first coined the phrase "It's a game of two halves" (perhaps Jimmy Greaves?) was essentially describing perfectly what occurred at the newly named DW Stadium.

Sir Alex must have been fuming at the way we lacked that cutting edge, and have done for our first two matches, and as such must have given all concerned the hair dryer treatment at full force.

English Premier League Season Previews: Manchester United & Portsmouth

Sanford's Soccer Net 12 August @ 08:33 AM EST
Manchester United: United will stand and fall by how well their two main threats, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov, combine this season.

Portsmouth: Paul Hart will have to attack the first half of the season with a painfully thin squad and is under no illusions about the scale of the challenge ahead. Click to continue reading...

Rooney and Berbatov shine as new look United impress...

A Kick in the Grass 10 August @ 07:31 AM EST
The Community Shield has all too often been little more than just another pre-season workout, but yesterday's curtain raiser provided much more than that. From a Manchester United perspective, it was the beginning of life without Ronaldo and Tevez following their high-profile departures, it was the first real test of Ferguson's re-jigged forward-line that consisted of Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Click to continue reading...

When Bulgaria (almost) ruled the world

SoccerLens 16 July @ 03:49 AM EST

The Parc des Princes, November 1993. France are seconds away from securing qualification for the 1994 World Cup, albeit nervously. Tied at 1-1 with Group rivals Bulgaria, they know a point is enough to send them to America the following summer.

In possession is David Ginola, as enigmatic, stylish and confident then as he would prove to be later on in his career, when English fans got to see him up close.

Robson: Valencia Won’t Replace Ronaldo

Republik Of Mancunia 29 June @ 06:40 AM EST

With Manchester United's £16 million deal for Wigan's Antonio Valencia set to be sealed today, Bryan Robson has claimed that Ecuadorian is not going to be a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. Whilst Valencia will be running down our flanks as Ronaldo did, there isn't the expectation that we will see anywhere near the same amount of goals from him, given his past scoring record.

Tevez Urges Fergie To Make Him The Top Earner Or He’ll Leave

The Soccer Blog 19 June @ 06:15 AM EST
Greedy Carlos Tevez has told Manchester United: Make me your highest-paid player — or I go. The Red Devils have agreed the £26million asking price to make the Argie striker's loan move permanent. But they have still to match the personal terms of £110,000 a week that stars Rio Ferdinand and Dimitar Berbatov earn. Click to continue reading...

Ruud for £1.25 Million? Yes Please!

Premiership Talk Blog 08 June @ 07:30 AM EST

The transfer rumor mill is in full force once again, and almost all of the rumors revolve around some up and coming Spanish club that goes by the name of Real Madrid (surely a rip-off of the MLS side Real Salt Lake). This time the rumors concern Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has a rumored price tag of just £1.

United Linked With Benzema AGAIN!

Premiership Talk Blog 27 April @ 10:45 PM EST

Manchester United have again been linked with a move for Lyon striker Karim Benzema, after they were reportedly priced out of the market for the talented Frenchman last year. If the rumors are true it does put question marks over the future of some of United's strikers.

Carlos Tevez, who is one of United's most consistent players, looks to be heading for the exit door as his opportunities in the team have been limited since the arrival of Dimitar Berbatov.
