In-from striker Wayne Rooney scored twice for Manchester United on Sunday as the hosts defeated Fulham 3-0 to go two points clear at the top of the English Premier League. Rooney's goals came from in the 46th and the 84th minutes to take his tally for the season to 32. Dimitar Berbatov's header with a minute [. Click to continue reading...

At this stage of the season, I'm not too bothered how we score or how we get the points, just as long as we do. Obviously it would be easier on our hearts if we could grab two goals in the first ten minutes every week but that would be too good to be true.

Today we didn't have to settle for scrappy goals or scrape a win.

Of the many takeaways from the Goodison game, this question qould have been uppermost on quite a few of us fans. Not because of anything that this game alone showed us about Berbatov, that we suddenly have our doubts about him. It's more of a gradual process, as Rob has written. It always has been, with Dimitar.

Yesterday Mr Dimitar Ivanov Berbatov was 29 years young.
Its a good age for a modern footballer. The age where you are at your technically best. Yes, you may not we 21 anymore, but physically you are normally perfectly balanced with your mental attributes. Its what managers like to describe as 'at their peak'
However, for Dimi its quite possibly the age that will convince Sir Alex to bin him. Click to continue reading...

Yesterday morning I saw England covered in snow and ice and so decided to put together a Winter Weather XI football team. A full team of players with winter weather themed names. Unfortunately I was short on imagination, and the very best I could come up with was Man Utd's Bulgarian striker Dimitar Brrrrbatov. Click to continue reading...

The task of making people forget about Cristiano Ronaldo would not be an easy job, but in his first 5 months in a Manchester United uniform, Antonio Valencia has chipped in to help compete for the English Premier League title in a major way.
One of the bright young stars in the 2006 World Cup for Ecuador, the Villarreal winger was on everyone's radar prior to coming to the English Premier League by joining Wigan. Click to continue reading...

News emerged recently suggesting that Ferguson will not spend money in January on another striker; choosing instead to place his faith in the goalscoring of Berbatov to complement Rooney's.

The article was quick to pounce on Ferguson's rationale; highlighting ignorant yet pivotal stats about Dimitar's goalscoring: ‘18 goals in 58 games and just five in his past 28 matches for the club.

Whilst it's great to see the likes of Owen Hargreaves, Ji-Sung Park and Dimitar Berbatov present, it's not so great to notice Edwin Van der Sar, Jonny Evans, John O'Shea, Gary Neville and of course, Rio Ferdinand, are all missing.

Of course, it's only Besiktas, meaning Van der Sar wasn't expected to play anyway, but let's hope the knock to the knee he received against Everton doesn't keep him out at the weekend.

Rafa Benitez, prior to substantial weight and facial hair gain

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.

Could Man United star Dimitar Berbatov be hitting some goal scoring form? Last night he scored not one, not two, but three goals for Bulgaria. This coincides with the news that Berbatov has become a dad- congratulations to him and his girlfriend.
The Bulgarian captain and Man United striker helped his team to a comfortable 6-2 win over Georgia at the Vassil Levski stadium in Sofia. Click to continue reading...

Top of the Pops

Having been invaded by wingers, second strikers and midfielders last season, the Premier League top scorers chart is beginning to have a familiar look to it again. It's populated by centre-forwards. 7 games into the season the top 10 scorers in the league are all strikers.

The English Premier League had eight matches on Saturday with most of the top teams winning. The one shocking result of the day was Wigan Athletic upseting Chelsea 3-1 to give them their first loss of the season. The other top teams such as Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool all won. Here's a recap of these tops teams in the English Premier League from Saturday, September 26, 2009 along with video highlights.

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?

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.

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.

But the champions proved many wrong in typical style, scoring a flurry of late goals to beat Roberto Martinez's side.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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).

The Champions League Final played out in front of a packed crowd in Stadio Olimpico, Rome last night had all the traits of a thriller movie.

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.

Much has already been said of Manchester United's thrilling comeback against Tottenham this past weekend, but more important than the result I witnessed something great happening at United. For the first time this season, United fans got the chance to see Dimitar Berbatov, Carlos Tevez, Wayne Rooney, and Cristiano Ronaldo all on the pitch at the same time and all firing on all cylinders.
