Red Wins It For Devils, Sends Utd Top

Part-time Pundit 07 March @ 09:06 AM EDT
Mick Mccarthy's men put up a huge performance to keep a Rooney-less Manchester United at bay last night, that is until the 'Ginger Ninja' Paul Scholes popped up with a late knock-out blow. It's no wonder rangas have no friends... they always do things when you least expect them too and like to dampen the [. Click to continue reading...

Manchester United’s chances to take the summit

Republik Of Mancunia 06 March @ 09:00 AM EDT

Manchester United can go top of the Premier League on Saturday evening as the title race gets tight again.

Chelsea's unexpected defeat to Manchester City threw the competition wide open again and there's little to split the Reds and the Blues, and indeed Arsenal, in the betting on this season's Premier League winner.

Wayne Lets Down United

Republik Of Mancunia 06 March @ 05:30 AM EDT

Manchester United have the opportunity to go top of the table later today as they take on Wolves whilst Chelsea play in the FA Cup.

A draw would be enough to see us go top, thanks to a superior goal difference, whilst a win would put us two points clear with Chelsea not playing in the league again until next weekend, when they play West Ham at home.

Sticking Up For Wolves Over Premier League’s Ridiculous E20 Decision

Republik Of Mancunia 18 February @ 10:00 AM EDT

On December 12th 2009, Wolves fought to win three points away at White Hart Lane. A couple of weeks earlier Spurs had beaten Wigan 9-1 at home so this was definitely a great result for Wolves. They had scored after three minutes but as the game progressed, had to pull out a massive performances to secure all the points.

Wolves - Spurs Preview: More Frustration Beckons

All Action, No Plot 10 February @ 01:48 PM EDT

On the back of yet another ten-man shut-out, the prospect of Wolves tonight hardly has the AANP heart leaping in unbounded joy.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur: How To Avoid History Repeating

TottenhamBlog.com — The Spurs News Blog That Expects The Worst And Is Rarel 10 February @ 08:52 AM EDT

Normally you would go into an away match against a team stuck in the relegation zone with a sense of confidence, even if it would generally turn out to be misguided.

The match tonight against Wolves is different, because of their 1-0 win at White Hart Lane earlier this season. In many ways that was our most disappointing result of the season.

Perspiration Trumps Inspiration For Rafael Benitez's Men

Anfield Talk 27 January @ 12:02 PM EDT
If you could condense 90 minutes of 'action' into one split-second, then tonight's game could be neatly summed up when, in the 90th minute of a pallid scoreless draw, Liverpool's auxiliary right-back Jamie Carragher galloped on to a loose ball 30 yards from the Wolverhampton Wanderers goal, screaming at Steven Gerrard to vacate its path.

American Abroad: Wolves and West Ham

USSoccerPlayers 27 January @ 10:00 AM EDT
Marcus Hahnemann needed one save to split the points with Liverpool. Both teams ended with a single shot on goal.

FA Cup = The Credit Crunch Cup

OK Football Finder 24 January @ 04:00 AM EDT

Apart from Reading's dramatic win at Anfield and Manchester United's emabarrassing defeat to Leeds, the last round of the FA Cup was pretty dull to be honest.

It also saw one of the most dismally attended FA cup third-rounds in living memory. The particular event (or non-event) that no doubt most people will remember was the 5,335 crowd attendance at the DW stadium for Wigan vs Hull, which was particularly depressing for the reputation of the "magic of the cup.

It seems that somehow the identity of the brothel visiting Premier League manager has somehow remained a secret but it does appear some managers are emerging as front runners in the sleaze race and the name mentioned most often in chatrooms and other hugely scientific places, appears to be a certain Avram Grant (although we are not stating that this means he is the guilty party).
