Match Of The Week: Leeds United 5-1 Kettering Town

Twohundredpercent 08 December @ 06:45 PM EDT

After the two sides finished level at Rockingham Road a week and a half ago, it was the only draw that could have been made. Manchester United. For Leeds United, this match is an opportunity to make acquaintances again with their rivals from the other side of the Pennines. Their fall from grace has been bumpier than most, and possibly the most hurtful aspect of the whole sorry saga is that Manchester United supporters have been going whole days, perhaps even weeks, without thinking about how much they despise Leeds United.

13 points beind Chelsea? It's time for Liverpool to summon the Spirit of '89

Liverpool Kop 03 December @ 06:47 PM EDT
On New Year's Day 1989, Liverpool lost 3-1 to Manchester United at Old Trafford, a defeat that left the club languishing 17 points adrift of runaway leaders Arsenal. A cloud of pessimism descended over Anfield and the title seemed a million miles away. Sound familiar?
After the winning the title in such scintillating style in 87-88, Liverpool were clear favourites to retain the title in 88-89. Click to continue reading...

Hitting the fan with United (Part II.I): Getting a Kick out of Eric Cantona

Republik Of Mancunia 07 October @ 12:50 PM EDT

In Part I of 'Hitting the fan with United' I revealed that I had been an eye-witness to both of the most serious match-day assaults perpetrated by players on spectators in Manchester United history, jaw-dropping events which happened 35 years apart.

The first and now less-remembered incident happened in April 1960 and involved Harry Gregg, not only one of the greatest goalkeepers ever to play for United but also a genuine hero for his bravery at the time of the Munich Air Crash two years before, when 23 people were killed including 8 'Busby Babes'.

Brighton & Hove Albion - The Great Escape?

Twohundredpercent 21 April @ 06:49 PM EDT

Lloyd Owusu cuts an unlikely figure as a possible season saving hero. He is thirty-two years old now, and has spent much of his career as a nearly man - Brentford's all-time highest scorer, he scored with his first touch for Sheffield Wednesday in a derby match against Sheffield United in 2002, but failed to settle at Hillsborough and ended up cutting something of a journeyman existence around the lower divisions.

Luton Town: Looking for a silver lining in a game full of pain

SoccerLens 10 March @ 10:22 AM EDT
Luton Town fans could have been forgiven for deciding to give this season a miss. At the start of the season they were docked 30 points due to financial irregularities in regards to the club's payment of agents via a third party and their inability to agree to a Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA) to exit [.
