Lethal Bizzle, Rio Ferdinand, A Barber and a Bottle of Cristal

The Offside Rules 04 November @ 01:42 PM EST
Y'all mess with Lethal Bizzle? He's kinda nice in that Dizzee Rascal/Akala/Wiley U.K. Hip Hop-Grime way. If you have the inclination check out the video for his re-rub of The Clash's cover of Eddie Grant's "Police on my Back". And if you have the time see what he has to say about how he met footie star/film producer/publisher/cornrow enthusiast Rio Ferdinand. Click to continue reading...

8 Miles from Double Dutch!

Avenell Road 21 September @ 05:55 AM EST

Thomas Vermaelen, wow what a signing. Arsene Wenger sure doesn't know a good defender when he sees one.

Why was he born 8 miles across the Belgium border, his parents ruined my headline?
He is tenacious in defence, and attacks corners like a madman and is showing the team the way, we now have a new confidence on corners, you can see the takers trying harder to hit a man rather than just hit and hope.

Dudu’s Dive! Was it?? Wasn’t it? Who cares!!

Avenell Road 28 August @ 04:01 AM EST

I'm a little angry this morning with all the negativity surrounding the club and our assassin with regards to the 'dive' incident that occurred against a well beaten Celtic in Europe. The game finished on Wednesday, its now Friday and we are still hearing the same old stories that we are cheats and Dudu should be banned.

Is the Man City circus good for Arsenal??

Avenell Road 26 July @ 09:29 PM EST

For me the answer is quite simply...yes!!

For years Arsenal have been the media's main interest in English football..Constantly harassing us, making false allegations and to put it bluntly, talking absolute shit about us. No other football team in England has been under the media microscope more than Arsenal and in recent years, due to the lack of trophies and the apparent lack of funds, the situation has become worse, but now they have a new play thing.

Aly's Break-out Performances this Year in the CL this Past Season Put Him On the Radar of Some the Biggest Clubs in Europe.

Who should be given the Manchester United number 7 now ?

Strategy OR Socccer 01 July @ 12:59 PM EST
Who should be given the number 7?The Manchester United number 7 kit is perhaps the most important of all, Best, Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo. With CR7 now CR9 the question becomes who will be the last #7 under Fergie?If Valencia is given the #7 body's will roll in their grave!Now I am not saying this is the plan but it is my fear.

Man U v Wigan Review, More Musings

THE SOUNDER FC FAN BLOG 13 May @ 04:21 PM EST
What a great game for my United. Maybe Fergie will realize that now Tevez is worth the money. He was brought on and United fought back from 1-0 down and won 2-1. Now a draw against the Gooners means that for a third consecutive year the title trophy stays in Manchester with the Red side of town.
Anderson was in effective and Berbatov had a tough time with the defense of Wigan to start but once Ronaldo was moved to the middle and Tevez (see right) was brought on it all changed. Click to continue reading...

Man United v Wigan Set for Wednesday

THE SOUNDER FC FAN BLOG 13 May @ 01:03 AM EST
This will be an interesting game for United. There are rumors all over the Internet that after Ronaldo's antics on Sunday that he and Fergie had a huge bust up afterward. I have even read a rumor that Fergie has agreed to sell Ronaldo to Mardrid for 72 Million pounds!!!!! If that happens then United can do what the fans want and resign Tevez for 26 Million and take the rest and go get Frank Ribery(seen on right) who right now could turn into just as good a player without being a bitch of a teammate.

All Appeals for Champions League Final Rejected

THE SOUNDER FC FAN BLOG 11 May @ 08:05 PM EST
Well this didn't suprise me though as a United fan (been one since the mid 90's) I just think its a disgrace. The idea of Darren Fletcher not being able to participate is a sad. He has been crucial this season and I for one am worried with him out who is going to keep the Barca mid field in check? I like Carrick but he can't do it alone. Click to continue reading...

12 points from Man U Chelsea

Anfield Banter 14 March @ 01:30 PM EST
It's a bit baffling to think we've taken the double from the two top squads in the league, but it may be a bit more confounding to realize that we've managed only six pts in six matches against four of the eight bottom sides (Tottenham, Hull, Stoke, and Middlesborough). In the end, those results are probably going to be what keeps us from the title. Click to continue reading...

Brilliant, beautiful, bold. Once again Nike has upped the cinematic stakes for footie adverts with this Wieden + Kennedy produced advert featuring Arsenal and Man United.

Man U v. Chelsea: The Musicians Match

The whole of England has gone tits over tail for today's Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea. Every angle in being covered in every paper in the land. Even NME has gotten in the act by putting out a side for each club made up of it's celebrity fans. Thank God Man City didn't make it to the final or Damon Albarn out of Blur/Gorillaz (pictured above) might have to but up with Liam Gallagher all up in his grill again. Click to continue reading...
