Given I only get to the ground about ten minutes before kick-off, I missed the opportunity to buy the latest edition of Red Issue which went on sale today. Why? Because the GMP, without receiving a single complaint, deemed the picture on the back page "potentially offensive" so went about confiscating it and threatening the sellers with arrest.

Police have confirmed that the confiscated all of the copies of the United fanzine, Red Issue, that were floating around outside Old Trafford today which featured cut-out 'Suarez Is Innocent' Ku Klux Klan masks for United fans to hold in front of their faces to bait Liverpool as the teams emerged from the tunnel.

"Who can follow a man like you as manager of United?" asked a journalist looking for a sound bite that he could relay across England. "Oh I don't know about that," replied Sir Matt Busby in a thick Scottish accent with a proud smile across his face.

The year was 1969.

It's understandable why it's forgotten even amongst the staunchest Manchester United supporters.

Benjamin Franklin once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. With this definition in mind events at the Emirates stadium on Sunday could lead some Arsenal supporters to question the mental health of their manager.

Sunday 28th August 2011 will be a date forever etched on the minds of Arsenal and Manchester United supporters alike, remembered with very differing degrees of fondness.

After receiving reduced allocation at Anfield for the league game, reports today suggest that United will get a proper allocation of around 6,000 for our FA Cup game against Liverpool at the end of this month.

"We have taken into account the improvement of the Manchester United supporters at the most recent Premier League fixture relating to the blocking of gangways and aisles," said Stephen Clare, Liverpool City Council's principal licensing officer.

Football has a habit of re-writing history. If it isn't trotting out statistics with the prefix "since the Premier League began", then it's defining a relatively arbitrary cut-off point of "post-war". Despite these handy devices it has not stopped Manchester United supporters claiming superiority over Liverpool with their 19 titles (first title won in 1908), one ahead of Liverpool's 18 (first one won in 1921).

Perhaps it is all a matter of perception. For clubs at one end of the spectrum, a home defeat at the hands of a local rival may be enough to start the tabloids gossiping. Supporters of Aldershot Town could be forgiven for shrugging their shoulders at such relative trivialities. They, in March of 1992, lost their club with two months of the season left to play and had to begin again the following season as a new club, in the Ryman League Division Three.

According to the Metro among others, as Man City's leading example of austerity and demure sophistication, 'Mario Balotelli: Party Liaison' has stepped forward and duly volunteered himself to organise Man City's Christmas shindig this year.

The Museum & Stadium Tour of Manchester United's Old Trafford ground, the self-styled "Theatre of Dreams" is hugely popular with football fans from all over the world, not just Manchester United supporters.
Participants of our tour included visitors from Hong Kong and Russia as well as Swansea City supporters in Manchester for their team's Monday night game with Manchester City.

In the back-and-forth battle between Manchester City and Manchester United supporters during the past two years, which included billboards in the city advertising ‘Welcome to Manchester' adorned with Tevez's face on a blue background, it's now the...

One of the more dispiriting cycles in which an element of English football support finds itself trapped reared its ugly head again last night. The unfailing of a flag with the word "Istanbul" spray-painted across the middle of it was yet another example of the culture of perpetual abuse and contempt that some seem to actively enjoy these days, and those of us that sit on the outside peering in can only watch in wonder at the mentality of anybody that would seek to revel in the death of anybody in the name of what passes for "banter" these days.

Glazer family was asked by The Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) to use the income from their proposed Singapore Stock Market flotation to remove the club's huge debt. Although MUST...

Once a Red, always a Red... but Phil Nev's a true Blue too

Everton captain Phil Neville upset some of the club's fans by sitting among Manchester United supporters to watch the champions' game at West Brom on Sunday. I don't see what he did wrong. In fact, it's typical of him to be honest and up-front about his actions.

It's now 21 years since Liverpool – for so long the most successful club in league history – last won the English top flight title. While Manchester United supporters have celebrated 12 titles...

Wednesday night at Red Bull Arena for the 2011 MLS All-Star Game, the electricity was floating in the air and you could feel it, sense it and smell it.

Before the game, the streets near Red Bull Arena were filled with games. Hardest shot contest, Soccer tennis, playing X-Box with FIFA 2011, writing signs for your favorite players and of course a picture next to the Philip Anschutz trophy (MLS Cup) so you could have a keepsake.

1. Arsenal vs Real Madrid pre-season Emirates, 2008.

Manchester United fans face seeing their ticket allocation for October's Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool slashed by more than a third because of "persistent standing" issues at Anfield.
A report submitted to Liverpool City Council has recommended cutting the visiting supporters' capacity from 3,015 to 1,965 in an attempt to combat the problem of people blocking gangways.

Safety fears may see cut to away allocation at Anfield

An advisory group has recommended to Liverpool City Council that they cut the allocation for Manchester United fans for the Premier League clash against Liverpool in October. The Ground Safety Advisory Group (GSAG) made the recommendations after studying the behaviour of Manchester United supporters at Anfield in April.

Fanatical Liverpool supporter Sheldon Xavier can't wait for Liverpool to arrive in his home city of Kuala Lumpur as he explains to www.lfctour.com
Multi-racial Malaysia, with an estimated population of 27.5 million and with a total landmass of 329,847 square kilometers, is a footballing mad nation.

The Sunday Times reported yesterday that the team is considering selling shares on the Hong Kong stock exchange in a move that could potentially raise £1.7bn.

Selling shares via a stock float will allow the Glazers to take money out of the club without selling the club or adding to the clubs debt.

Pep gets the "treatment" following FC Barcelona's 3-1 victory over Manchester United (Photo: GLYN KIRK/AFP/Getty Images)

I was at Wembley with my brother and father, two long-time United supporters, and my mother who supports Barcelona and wore her Lionel Messi jersey proudly. We found our seats only to realize that our tickets were in the last section of the Manchester United supporters.

"Totally outlcassed"; "you just can't argue with that they're just too good!"; "we're the best of the rest, at least...". But a selection of the comments I have heard from Manchester United fans in the wake of their club's second capitulation to Barcelona's incomparable passing football in three years.

Carly Lyes, a trainee social worker and season-ticket holder in the Stretford End who has been going regularly to Old Trafford since she was 11, said she had displayed a "Love United Hate Glazer" banner for "two to three minutes" before the home leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea on 12 April.

Now can you dig that!?

If there's one club with all the luck in the world, its Manchester United. If there's one club with all the refs, etc (ie FA, Uefa) on its side, its Manchester United. If there's one club all Gooners love to hate, its Manchester United. Here are few jokes compiled from all over the internet, hope you like'em!

The Glazers have revealed that they will lower ticket prices for Tampa Bay Bucs by as much as 30% after complaints from the fans.

"We have spent a lot of time listening to fans at a time when our team is thriving and our economy is not," said Joel Glazer. "As a result, we are now offering several pricing changes in response to our community's needs.

More news to report on the speculation surrounding the future ownership of MUFC.
