Barnsley 0-1 Manchester United

29′ Home crowd starting to make some noise. Not much, but it's still noise. Bogdanovic and Macken have been superb so far. Another chance as I write. Anderson da Silva heads over.

In a Premier League full of seriously high stakes and grave financial ramifications for failure, it is easy to forget that football is just a game. And no player better embraced that philosophy - enjoying making a living playing the sport you love - than Dwight Yorke. For 15 Premier League seasons, the striker charmed English fans with his smiling demeanour and impressed them with his finishing prowess. Click to continue reading...

In this new series, I'll be looking back at some of Liverpool's FC's most demoralizing football moments - incidents and games that left fans in a state of shock for weeks – and sometimes months – afterwards. I'll start off with an infamous game from January 1999 that sent Gerard Houllier's team into freefall and arguably ended the club's season: The soul-destroying FA Cup 4th round defeat to Manchester United.

Dwight Yorke, who last week was reliving the memories of that night in the Nou Camp, is amazed that Carlos Tevez has chosen to leave Manchester United for Manchester City as he approaches the peak of his career.

Clearly Robinho agrees.

"Things have changed," said Yorke. "But I know when I was at the peak of my career there is no way I would have left the best team in the world.

Take my word, I haven't just looked at a couple of blurry Youtube clips before coming to a conclusion about the Standard Liege player who Manchester United have been strongly linked with recently.

Sir Alex Ferguson sent a 'get well soon' letter wishing him a speedy recovery which has caught the attention of the media, with fans on various internet forums discussing their thoughts on a possible signing.

Former Man United player Dwight Yorke has said that he could never have done what Carlos Tevez has done. Tevez left United in the summer after being offered a contract but he decided to go to Man City- United's rivals.
May think that he left United and went to City because of the money, he would never admit it though. Click to continue reading...

"I didn't mean to stamp on Carvalho, but I know what it looks like and I do wince when I see it."
Wayne Rooney is still adamant it was an accident.

"In terms of a game where everything just clicked, it has to be Barcelona away in the Champions League. Of all the goals I scored, I always preferred the ones that were brilliant team goals, and the interaction was at its peak.

Roy Keane has been under siege after a slow start this season at Ipswich, but as
Matt Dickinson of the Times Online reports, a distanced manager has apparently separated himself from his locker room.
One of the most troubling stories about Roy Keane's management did not involve him screaming, shouting or karate-kicking the tactics board in the dressing room, as Dwight Yorke has described so vividly in his forthcoming autobiography. Click to continue reading...

Good stuff always comes out in autobiographies.
Dwight Yorke's is no different. Apparently the ex-Manchester United star said a fallout with Sir Alex pushed him to the bottle.
Hard.

"I started to drink again. I wasn't an alcoholic. But it helped to ease the loneliness.

As questões internas dos clubes e as relações entre dirigentes, técnicos e jogadores, deveriam manter-se como são, internas. Infelizmente nem sempre assim é, e existe uma tendência para o exercício da crítica mediática sem que haja a possibilidade da contradição. Todos nós, nas nossas actividades profissionais, no nosso dia-a-dia, temos problemas com os colegas, com os patrões, com os superiores, com os subordinados, e se seguissemos o exemplo de Dwight Yorke, a nossa sociedade estaria altamente alcoolizada.

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness was tough-tackling monster of a player who combined prodigious talent with a ferocity that made him feared by the opposition. It seems that this mean-streak continued into his managerial career, with one of his own players on the receiving end of a deadly Souness special. Click to continue reading...

Ex-Sunderland manager's abusive text reply Dwight Yorke has revealed how his former Sunderland manager and Manchester United team-mate Roy Keane sent him an nasty text message. Yorke texted a message of commiserations to Keane after the latter's departure from Sunderland, but was shocked by the reply he received. Click to continue reading...

The world is not lacking for stories detailing how Roy Keane did the exact opposite of what you'd expect from your normal living, breathing, feeling living being. Today we have another story about the man currently leading Ipswich Town into a plummet to League One. A story which should draw no gasps, no blank stares, [. Click to continue reading...

In the traditional poor impersonation of Lloyd Grossman "Who drove in this Car...Over to you David".

Yes the car used to be the pride and joy of this former Red Devil!

The only way I would pay that much for a car is if it talked to me and helped me solve crimes in a manner not unlike Knight Rider!

Saturday night's unimpressive victory over El Salvador might have given the U.S. Men's National Team three vital points, but a World Cup spot is by no means assured.

With the easiest of the three games, at Trinidad and Tobago, on the docket for Wednesday night, a victory is needed right away.

Dwight Yorke had a great time at Manchester United, scoring an incredible 30 goals in his first season with the club. 1998-1999 was a magic season for us and Yorke played a massive part in it.

Robbie Fowler was only ever God to a small group of Scousers based in their native Liverpool.

Time for you all to feel sorry for footballers without a home for the new season!

Footballers rarely deserve sympathy in today's cash-drenched game.
Fans are fed up with hearing of players being paid six figures for a week's work, especially when that involves pulling on their boots for a few hours each day.
