Good News For Portsmouth Whilst We’ll Struggle To Pick A Team

0
We'll be kidding ourselves if we think Portsmouth will roll over for us like they did against Chelsea at the weekend. As we saw in the Community Shield, Pompey are up for a ruck when playing against United, rugby tackles and all! Sky Sports have just delivered some good news to our next opponents: Portsmouth have [.

United don’t want Huntelaar, Madrid aren’t interested either

0
The rumours linking Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to Manchester United are doing rounds all year long and have been doing so ever since Ruud van Nistelrooy was rumoured to be leaving the club. This season they've linked Huntelaar to Real Madrid as well, presumably because people think Madrid are thinking of replacing RvN or at least getting [. Click to continue reading...

Queiroz fingers Ronaldo as future Portugal striker - will that work for United?

2
Portugal's new manager Carlos Queiroz has said that expects Cristiano Ronaldo to lead Portugal's front line when he returns from his post-surgical rest. "I see only one position for Cristiano Ronaldo to play. And I hope he will be playing 90 percent of the game on the attacking line." Could Ronaldo play the same role for Manchester [.

Don’t Hate Daniel Levy

0
[Ed: This may be a little, shall we say, contrary to general United fan opinion. But sit back and try to wrap your heads around it for a change.] "God, don't we all just want Daniel Levy to fuck off? I mean, I can't see why he doesn't just accept defeat and sell us Berbatov. He [...]

Arsenal set to swipe Manchester United defender from under the nose of Man City…

0
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is a wily old fox and, when he saw that Mikael Silvestre was preparing to leave Man Utd and go to Man City, he instantly sent word to Silvestre that he wouldn't mind having him at the Emirates. According to The S*n, Silvestre ditched Man City ... Click to continue reading...

Talk about Scraping the Barrel

0
Ok so hands up if you remember hearing a couple of years ago that Keele University in the Midlands was genuinely offering a degree course in ‘David Beckham Studies'? Christ that was depressing. He was also under 30-years-old at the time which made it even more ridiculous, but I guess in a world where 22-year-old Coleen, famous for only getting ploughed by a ugly Scouser, can have ‘written' two books, credibility just doesn't come into it anymore.

Capello names Terry as his skipper

0
Eight months after succeeding Steve McLaren as England manager, Fabio Capello has announced that Chelsea defender John Terry will retain the captain's armband. Capello took his time to make the decision, having given Steven Gerrard, Rio Ferdinand, Terry, David Beckham and Gareth Barry the chance to impress him in previous international friendlies.

Berbatov to Man U: Berbatov forcing his way north

Tottenhams Berbatov is now clearly forcing his way to Man U. Reports are filtering out that he has handed in a transfer request, hence his weekend appearance on the bench.
Berbatov has been quoted as saying: "I'm now in Tottenham but no-one can disagree with me wanting to follow my dream,"

Berbatov's agent Emil Dantchev was even more direct in his comments on the player's future. Click to continue reading...

0
Arsenal are today poised to sign Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre after the player turned down a move to Manchester City. The United veteran is more than likely to leave the club before the transfer window shuts after admitting he is frustarted with the lack of first team football.

The former French international has spent nine years at United making just over 250 appearances in the process. Click to continue reading...

United Hooligans, Anti-England and David Beckham

1
I've had my fair share of scraps over football in my time, but never the organised hooligan business. Whilst not something I'd be involved in personally, I am intrigued about how it all works. Why do they go around kicking the crap out of people every weekend? Do they really love the club? How much [. Click to continue reading...

Elmander Proves His Worth, But Where’s the Love?

By: Chris C.
Soccer City FC

At long last the new year of football is underway and all is right with the world, if only for 90 minutes at a time. Off the pitch, we've still got the normal events of the day with Dimitar Berbatov asking to leave Tottenham in favour of greener pastures with Manchester United. Click to continue reading...

Worst Transfer Window Ever, and Premier League Wealth is to Blame

0
Is it just me, or has this transfer window just been punch yourself in the head awful? There are less than two weeks to go until the end of August and so far... almost nothing has happened. Robbie Keane has gone to Liverpool. Ronaldinho made his bargain move to Milan, and Rafael van der Vaart [...] Click to continue reading...

Do we really want Berbatov in our league?

1
He's a player, he doesn't love you anymore, and all he wants to do is score. What would you do with a striker like Dimitar Berbatov? If I were Daniel Levy over at White Hart Lane Id have stuck him in the nearest taxi and sent him down to Stevenage Borough in the Blue Square Premier for a spell up front with the big boys.

Shevchenko Linked To Milan Return, Silvestre Wanted By Arsenal, WBA Close To Valero Signing

1
Shevchenko will apparently return to AC Milan on a loan for at least a season, a move which would probably suit all parties involved (especially Milan). The Shevchenko rumours have been persistant ever since the Ukranian arrived at Chelsea, and its about time that he went back to Italy as it just wasn't working out [. Click to continue reading...

So Mr. Blatter - are Real Madrid slavers too?

2
Sepp Blatter was happy to call Ronaldo a 'modern-day slave' when asked about Manchester United's refusal to let the player follow his 'dream' to play for Real Madrid. Now that Real have done the same for Robinho and 'killed' his 'dream' to move to Chelsea (to Ronaldo's credit he took it like a man and best [. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal After Silvestre? Brilliant

1
Now I thought we were on to something when news broke that Mark Hughes was interesting in signing Mikael Silvestre, but now it appears that cheeky smiling Arsene Wenger is after him. "Arsene has been looking for experienced cover for Gael Clichy and he knows all about Mikael," said an Arsenal source. Click to continue reading...

What’s worse - United selling to City or to Arsenal?

0
Usually selling a player to your fiercest rivals would be considered a controversial decision at best, and an absolute travesty at worst. Think of the outrage at Tottenham when Sol Campbell went to Arsenal, Fergie's insistence on keeping Heinze away from Liverpool, the stick Lampard gets (ok, that's a different story but still), the stick [.

Giggs: Rio Should Have Got It

1
Ryan Giggs, who retired from International football to concentrate on his Manchester United career, believes that Rio Ferinand should have been awarded the England captaincy. Whilst still complimentary of the Chelsea man, he thinks that Rio possesses the qualities of a proper England captain "Obviously I am bias and I think Rio should have got it, but [.

How to scare Arsenal fans to death

7
...link a 31-year old, injury-prone, error-prone defender to the club and make him look like Wenger's first choice partner for another 31-year old, injury-prone, error-prone defender. They're both pretty fast though (fast enough to escape from Man City / Sunderland and Chelsea, respectively), although it'll be interesting to see if Wenger says 'I didn't see [.

It's a pretty short day in transfer tidbits, since most of the focus today is on the international action going on everywhere, but there is still a decent amount of news to report on, so let's hop to it, shall we?

Support For Rio Ferdinand

0
Fabio Capello made the wrong decision in awarding John Terry the captaincy, not that it is much of my concern. Seems like I'm not the only one though, with the chief football writer for The Times holding a new soft spot for Rio. If someone had proposed Rio Ferdinand as England captain three or even two [.

Jeffren Isaac Suárez Bermúdez of Barcelona

0
He is simpy known as Jeffren Suárez by his fans. At fist quick glance, he looks like Nani of Manchester United. But in skills and work, probably this 20 year old kid can do more than Nani. His numbers in Barcelona B, 8 goals in 26 games is a good indication. In the 2008-2009 preseason, he [...] Click to continue reading...

A terrible waking nightmare, it must be

0

I've been having some trouble sleeping the last few nights. I lie there almost wide awake then drift off into that sleep that doesn't seem like sleep at all.

I have these strange and weird dreams that make no kind of sense to me at all. Vivid motion picture dreams but at the same time I'm convinced that I'm not asleep.
