Ahead Of Our Match Against Everton…

Republik Of Mancunia 21 November @ 09:07 AM EST

It feels like months since United's last outing. I'm not sure whether that's because of the boredom the International break breaks or the need we've felt to bury our last game to the back of our memories. Losing against your title rivals is always going to be painful but to lose how we did, at the hands of poor officiating, is even harder to take.

- Egypt and Algeria are into the play-off which is slated to be played on Wednesday. It's amazing how important this game is.

Fan Diary #16: Fearless Liverpool (As In, We Scare Nobody)

EPL Talk 11 November @ 03:51 PM EST

Liverpool Need Their Roar Back

Liverpool aren't scaring anybody these days. Danny Murphy pointed this out during the Liverpool/Birmingham City half-time show. Unfortunately, he's too right.

Against Birmingham, Liverpool spent more time with the ball than an NBA forward playing one-on-one with a ten-year-old kid.

Ian Rush: Liverpool FC’s Champions League Destiny Will Be Shaped By Fiorentina Showdown

Anfield Talk 11 November @ 12:06 PM EST
Many are expecting Liverpool's Champions League fate to be decided a fortnight today but I'm convinced it will boil down to the last game against Fiorentina.
I can see Lyon getting a result in Florence and the Reds seeing off Debrecen to set things up for a Match Day Six showdown at Anfield. Click to continue reading...

RoM Reaction To Daylight Robbery At Stamford Bridge

Republik Of Mancunia 08 November @ 01:52 PM EST

Ahead of today's game I had several concerns about how we were going to get on. I was worried that we were going to get outpassed in midfield. I worried that Didier Drogba would have too much for our third and fourth choice central defenders. I was worried after the less than passionate display against Liverpool that our players would struggle again to get themselves up for a big game.

Ahead Of Our Trip To Stamford Bridge…

Republik Of Mancunia 08 November @ 06:09 AM EST

It doesn't matter whether the night before I drank the local dry or was tucked up by ten o'clock with a hot mug of cocoa, I wake up too bloody early on the morning of a big game and can't go back to sleep again. As I'm lying in bed, telling my brain to switch off again so I can sleep, I play out scenario after scenario of how the day could go.

Random: Barca Face The Cold, Bojan Looks Hot

Barcelista 02 November @ 02:07 PM EST
- Barca's upcoming match against Rubin Kazan is no small deal. Weather conditions are looking to be pretty harsh, with the climate there at this time of year much colder than what our players are used to, and measures have been taken... from the team traveling to Kazan two days before match day to get used to the cold a bit, to the special gear designed by Nike to keep the players warm.

Obertan’s debut – the birth of a superstar?

Premiership Talk Blog 02 November @ 10:00 AM EST

As a Manchester United fan Saturday's 2-0 win over Blackburn represented much more than just three points. Not only did Dimitar Berbatov score yet another sensational goal, but young French winger Gabriel Obertan made his Premier League debut. Obertan impressed midweek in the Carling Cup against Barnsley, but seeing him against Premiership opposition just meant that much more.

Football Filtered #18

| Post Match Pint 01 November @ 05:52 AM EST
Hello and welcome to the latest look at what as been passing through the Football Filter this week.
The managerial merry-go-round looks set to get a kick-start as twitchy chairman hover their fingers over the trigger. One of those managers under pressure is Hull's Phil Brown. But after his heroic Premier League survival last year is Brown the victim of raised expectations? Click to continue reading...

RoM Reaction To Blackburn Victory

Republik Of Mancunia 31 October @ 04:25 PM EST

By the time the final whistle blew today I was wondering when United were going to get started. That's the measure of Champions isn't it, being able to win when still in first gear? Well that's all fine and well but with Chelsea and Arsenal building up their goal differences each week, we could do with battering the teams we totally outplay.

The Real Problem

SoccerLens 29 October @ 03:43 AM EST

So a new President and around 250 million pounds later, Real Madrid find themselves in exactly the same position as they were at the end of Bernd Schuster's ill-fated rated reign in 2008.

With the loss at Alcorcon in the Copa del Rey all Real Madrid's match day personnel have been thrown into the spot-light as, when coupled with the suspect draw at Sporting Gijon, the Real Madrid express train has, temporarily at least, ran out of steam.

Ahead Of Our Trip To Barnsley…

Republik Of Mancunia 27 October @ 11:07 AM EST

Manchester United travel to Barnsley today with the hope of getting a result which will help put the disappointment of the weekend behind us.

Of course, we won't be seeing the same line-up who started at Anfield but with strong competition for places in the squad, the team won't be made up or just youngsters.

Kelantan fans excited by Malaysia Cup run

Jakarta Casual 26 October @ 06:17 PM EST
ERIC SAMUEL
The Sultan Mohd IV Stadium in Kota Baru is a "football heaven" for Kelantan coach B. Sathianathan.
The former national coach said that teams should look forward playing in Kota Baru and not be intimidated by their partisan fans.
"The kind of atmosphere you get playing here is lacking in Malaysian football," said Sathianathan after Kelantan, backed by a sell-out 25,000 crowd, defeated KL Plus 3-0 in a Malaysia Cup quarter-final second-leg match on Saturday to advance 4-1 on aggregate. Click to continue reading...

How Things Could Have Been Different At Anfield

Republik Of Mancunia 26 October @ 07:53 AM EST

Following United, the expectation is our lads will create at least five clear cut chances and at the very least, one will get put in the back of the net.

At Anfield yesterday this wasn't the case but the frustration we feel through the hangovers today could have been avoided if several things had been done differently.

La Liga: FC Barcelona vs Real Zaragoza, Camp Nou, Sunday, October 26 2009, 21:00 CET

Barcelista 25 October @ 07:48 AM EST
After a painful loss at home to Rubin Kazan in the Champions League, Barca are looking to bounce back into form with tonight's Liga meet with Real Zaragoza. With four days separating last match day from this one, the team's had more time to prepare than usual in this World Cup- affected schedule. What with that, players reterning from injury, and Real Madrid dropping two points last night, tonight's game should be a great one for Barca. Click to continue reading...

Cantona Masks Aplenty – Don’t Forget To Take Yours!

Republik Of Mancunia 22 October @ 09:07 AM EST

"Au revoir Cantona and Man United... come back when you've won 18" read the banner at Anfield all those years ago. Back then it appeared laughable that this rejuvenated United team, under the guidance of Alex Ferguson, could even dream of going on to win eighteen titles. But if we were ever to win eighteen, they certainly would have added another ten or twenty league titles to their collection.
