Fergie Punished For Unfit Comments

English Premier league 13 November @ 06:49 AM EST

Well it has debated by millions of writers all over the world. Was Fergie's comments regarding an apparently out-of-shape referee worth punishment from the FA? And wherever you stand on the topic no longer matters because the debate has ended with a rather surprising ruling.

Sir Alex Ferguson will not be on the sideline for the next two Manchester United matches.

Hargreaves to Freshen Up United's Chances?

Never Captain Nicky Butt 11 November @ 07:58 PM EST
"Look at Nani - his free kick goes right into the wall, again!"
It's been all doom and gloom for Liverpool over the past few weeks - the losses keep mounting, as do the injuries - and the club finds itself in its most precarious state in years.
On the other hand, Chelsea are being touted as "Champions" before we've even hit December, and with over six months of football still to be played, it seems as if journalists, bloggers, and pundits alike are claiming that The Blues have what it takes to win it all. Click to continue reading...

Owen’s dream is finally over

OK Football Finder 11 November @ 01:00 AM EST

As some of you may have read on here before, I'm a big fan of Michael Owen and have already written a couple of blogs on the Man Utd hitman, in which both somewhere champion Owen going to next summers World Cup. But after Fabio Capello revealed his latest squad for Saturday's game against Brazil last night, I think we can finally assume that Owen's South African dream is all but over.

As mostly everyone knows by now, Man United lost 1-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge Sunday after John Terry scored a controversial goal in the 76th minute.

EPL Week 11: A Look Back

Will there ever be a Chelsea-Manchester United match-up that won't involve referee criticisms? Whenever Sir Alex and his side end up losing -- especially in a match with such stakes -- comments from the often critical Scotsman almost always lashes out at the ref shortly after the final whistle.

October Player of the Month: Antonio Valencia

ManUtd24 09 November @ 01:43 PM EST

Cristiano Ronaldo is irreplaceable according to most pundits if not all of them; and the signing of Antonio Valencia in the summer wasn't to replace the talisman but was instead brought because of the quality in which he had.

Valencia only scored three goals for Wigan last year, and this time around with United, not even halfway through the season, he has scored that many.

Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United: Match Observations

ManUtd24 09 November @ 05:00 AM EST

Was Wes Brown fouled by Drogba?

Manchester United should feel hard done by. A fine display and they are right to feel aggravated. Jonny Evans and Wes Brown were terrific while Darren Fletcher was United's best player, but it wasn't to be their day, as John Terry's header deep in the second half was enough to send Chelsea five points clear.

Chelsea v Manchester United Preview

Premiership Talk Blog 07 November @ 05:14 PM EST

On Sunday Manchester United will walk into the Stamford Bridge pitch in unusual fashion. They will be the underdogs.

By all accounts, Chelsea simply look the stronger side. After trashing Bolton Wanderers 4-0 last weekend and earning a 2-2 Champions League draw against Atletico Madrid, Chelsea's in-form striker Didier Drogba will be looking to punish a Manchester United defense that will be without Rio Ferdinand.

United’s depleted defence will have to be ready to face Drogba and co.

ManUtd24 07 November @ 09:18 AM EST

Forget Haye v Valuev, this is the big one Chelsea v Manchester United. This year's favourites take on the Premier League champions. But while Chelsea and Drogba are in top form, United's injury problems mount.

And it is Didier Drogba who pundits alike are talking about. He is in the best form of his life, and if there was a better time to face United for the Ivory Coast forward, it would have to be now as he will be up against a rather depleted looking back line.

Morning Ticker: Ronaldo remains sidelined, van der Sar bashed and more

Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the best player in the world, but his spot in next year's World Cup will be determined when Portugal and Bosnia square off in a two-legged playoff later this month. There is only one problem for Ronaldo: He may not have a say in if Portugal qualifies.

Manchester United 3-3 CSKA Moscow: Match Observations

ManUtd24 04 November @ 12:08 PM EST

Manchester United went into yesterday's game against CSKA Moscow needing a point which was achieved but as usual it was done the hard way and once again the problems in the defence were apparent, and it was this problem which nearly led to an embarrassing defeat.

You cannot fault United's determination when they were 3-1 down, something which paid off, but while you can give credit to the midfielders and forwards for their tenacity, the defence was again, unfortunately, the problem.

Manchester United will host CSKA Moscow today in their group B clash of the Champions League. United had won the same fixture two weeks ago in Russian capital and will look to win this one too. Currently, the Red Devils lead Group B and a victory at Old Trafford would send them progress into the knockout round with two Group B matches to spare. Click to continue reading...

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.

However, as fans of the sport, we often hope that a title race is full of twists and turns all the way till it reaches a dramatic finale.
