Remind me again why Henry left Arsenal? I am starting to think that were a match made in heaven. The former Arsenal captain scored a late winner to help the Gunners secure a win that propelled them into a top four spot.

It's only a shame that he won't be staying any longer than this week as his loan deal ends this Wednesday.

A big sigh of relief at the end of the game but why did we have to sigh at the end when it was so comfortable for so long in the match? It was because once Manchester United took a 2 goal lead,...

11.02.2012 - Con goles de Wayne Rooney (´47 y ´50), Manchester United venció (2-1) a Liverpool (Luis Suarez ´79) en Old Trafford (ante 74.844 espectadores) por la 25º jornada de la Premier League.
Los flashes se los llevaron Patrice Evra y Luis Suárez, reaparecido en las canchas tras cumplir 8 partidos de sanción por haber sido hallado culpable de dirigir insultos racistas contra Patrice el pasado 15 de octubre en Anfield.

United 2: Rooney 47′ 49′
Liverpool 1: Suarez 80′

United get a deserved victory on the strength of a Wayne Rooney brace, taking advantage of a lifeless performance in the second half from a Liverpool side that were wholly disappointing. Given the occasion and atmosphere you'd have expected Liverpool to at least show up, but on the day they lacked any sense of urgency, purpose or desire.

There appears to be a split amongst Gooners at the moment that an Olympic gymnast would be very proud of.
So when I pose the question; is Tomas Rosicky worth a new contract at Arsenal? I expect many differences of opinion.
In the past Tomas has frustrated me. Not because I think he is a bad player but because during his time at the club he has spent at least 78% of it in the physio room.

David Silva is behind more goals than any other midfielder, having a total of 17 goals and assists, followed by Gareth Bale on 16. Nani and Mata are tied on 13, Valencia and Nasri on 10, Giggs with 9 and Young on 7. However, when you take in to consideration the games they've actually played in, specifically focussing on starts, Giggsy comes out top with an impressive 1.

Sir Alex Ferguson, January 31st 2012

"I noticed Alan Hansen was at it again, saying we had not played well for one and a half years. I reckon that comment goes alongside his claim a few years ago that you don't win anything with youngsters, and you know how he finished up with egg on his face after dismissing the Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Gary Neville crop of kids so foolishly.

Rafael was thrown in to the centre of midfield alongside Ji-Sung Park for Manchester United's 3-2 defeat against Blackburn.

Whilst he admits he is far happier in his usual position, he hasn't ruled out making a move to the midfield when he's older.

"A little bit, yeah," he said.

The statistics this morning read; Manchester United joint top but still second in the table due to an inferior goal difference compared to that of Manchester City. Our neighbours lost thanks to a...

An athletic career, like the human body in general, is subject to a law of diminishing returns. At some point the bargain with fate turns and a fuse is lit. Each step comes slower than the last. Each minute more draining than the preceding.

Liverpool 2-1 Manchester United FA Cup January 28th

With Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes going head to head with Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, we could've been back in 2000, although the constant booing of Patrice Evra by the Anfield faithful belonged farther back in the dark ages.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has written an open letter to the club's fans, asking them to behave well when they meet Liverpool in Saturday's 4th round FA Cup at Anfield.

Even those looking at Real Money Casino Games at Mansion will tell you that tensions between the rival clubs have increased in recent times, following the race row between Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra in October's league draw at Anfield.

With both Euro 2012 and the Olympics getting underway this summer, it is perhaps no surprise that speculation has been rife over who will make it into Fabio Capello's final squad for Poland and Ukraine, and who is in line for a call up for Stuart Pearce's Olympic Team GB squad and the Euro 2012 betting odds for one youngster in particular have just dramatically shortened.

Phil Jones was subbed off after 20 minutes in Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Arsenal, needing a stretcher to take him off the field. Reports from the touchline suggested he had just twisted his ankle but the following day there were claims he had ligament damage.

However, Mike Phelan has given us hope that Jones could be available for our FA Cup clash at Anfield.

United made it Manchester 2-0 North London in the second of Sunday's super-duper all-singing-all-dancing encounters, beating Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates to whittle City's lead at the summit of the Premier League back down from six points to three.

Not the debut we hoped for

A 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United with each side coming on top in one half is not the worst of results. However, the manner in which we lost the game, left a bitter taste in the mouth. After what happened in the reverse fixture early in August, many Arsenal fans (including me) wanted to exact revenge but also conscious of the fact that we want to avoid another thrashing.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish believes that club captain Steven Gerrard could continue playing well into his late 30s if he remains fit.
The England international midfielder, 31 at the moment, signed an extension to his existing deal on Thursday but has already said that he is looking to go beyond his current contract.

Amid all the controversy that, at least for the blue half of Manchester, surrounded Sunday's FA Cup fixture, one might be forgiven for almost forgetting something that transcended the meanings of those 90 minutes – Paul Scholes is back. Following his retirement in May, the United legend announced his comeback to help the club in [.

Mirror: What are the odds Thierry Henry plays for Arsenal next season too? Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day

Who said the Premier League was no country for old men? First Paul Scholes, now Thierry Henry – two men with the combined age of Ryan Giggs. Giggs and Scholes are now so old, they argue over who walked further to school as a kid.

Guardian: Which former player would you bring back to your club?

Paul Scholes and Thierry Henry have returned to former clubs, but which old stalwarts would you like to make a comeback? After the comebacks of Thierry Henry and Paul Scholes, we asked Premier League fans who they would like to see return.

Finding a worthy replacement for Gary Speed was always going to be a tricky affair for the Welsh FA, but according to team captain Aaron Ramsey, the suits haven't conducted the process properly at all.

Ramsey has revealed that neither he nor any of his Wales teammates have been consulted over the subject of a new boss, something that disappoints the Arsenal man.

With charges, arrests and general controversy beginning to stack up, we are once again indebted to Taiwan-based media group NMA who filter out all the bull plop and present us with nothing but the clear facts using their trademark subtle blend of retina-searing imagery, dizzying overly-literal metaphors and featherlight grip on the actual incidents being discussed.

"They say I score once every 275 minutes... on average"

Following in the orange, manicured footsteps of Robbie Savage, former Italian international striker Christian "Bobo" Vieri is taking part in the Italian version of Strictly Come Dancing.

1. Poor old Olympic cycling champion Chris Hoy probably had another busy Sunday explaining that he's not a referee to irate Manchester City fans. 2. Great to see Paolo Di Canio at the centre of the biggest shock of the weekend as Swindon saw off Wigan. He might be left disappointed by his hopes to [.

The final whistle is blown at the Etihad Stadium and it is safe and fair to say that Manchester United fans the world over breathed a huge collective sigh of relief. Pre kickoff, we had the shock...

1. Well, that was piss easy, wasn't it? Hmm. What should have been a walk in the part for United following the first half was worryingly more difficult than it needed to be, but we got the result and that's all that matters. United have knocked our local rivals, our noisy neighbours, and current holders, Manchester City, out of the FA Cup at their own ground.

It's official, Thierry Henry is back with the Gunners. The 34 year old put pen to paper and signed a 2 month load deal with Arsenal that will see him make a sensational come back to the club that launched him to super stardom.

Even more interesting is the fact that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has included him in his squad that will face AC Milan in the Champions League knock out stages.

Didier Drogba, Gary Cahill, Andrei Arshavin and Andy Johnson headline the list of Premier League stars who are out of contract at the end of the season according to Goal.com, and could be available on a free transfer this summer.

You could put together a pretty competitive side from this list.

Following Landon Donovan's loan to Everton and Thierry Henry's reported loan to Arsenal, a third MLS Designated Player could be on his way to the Premier League this winter, as Aston Villa is reportedly looking to sign Los Angeles Galaxy striker Robbie Keane to a two-month loan deal.

Here are the most interesting and important points from the 115 page document which explains why the decision was made to charge Luis Suarez with racially abusing Patrice Evra.

Evidence
- The FA and Evra watched some video footage of the match. Evra pointed out to the FA, by reference to the video footage, when it was during the match that Suarez made the comments about which Evra had complained.

Boxing Day is one of the most exciting days of the year for soccer fans as all 20 Premier League teams take to the field over a two-day period and Monday's offerings did not disappoint.

Manchester United are now tied at the top of the Premier League title after a 5-0 destruction of Wigan.

An interesting statement recently revealed by Milos Krasic's agent, Dejan Joksimovic, stating that the wantaway Juventus winger is being seriously monitored by Chelsea.

The agent also stated that his client most likely will leave his current club because he hasn't been featured in the plan of the Turin giant's new tactician, Antonio Conte.

Manchester United exorcised the hoodoo of Craven Cottage in emphatic fashion yesterday with a 5-0 trashing of the home side. A very good result in the festive season that we are in, heading into...

Ryan Giggs spoke to MUTV after our 5-0 win over Fulham and claims it's great getting to play in the centre of midfield when the players in front of him create so much space for themselves.

"It's been a good few weeks," said Giggs. "You saw what we're capable of (at Fulham) and that's the standard we set ourselves.

Like James Brown and his brand new bag, Manchester United have rediscovered their "groove". For a team supposedly in crisis, this win – and indeed, the general response post-Basel – serves as an emphatic reminder to the critics that they are very much still a force. Ryan Giggs perfectly summed up what was so good about Manchester United's performance against Fulham last night: "When you have so many options on the ball – people running in behind, people dropping in the hole – we're a very difficult team to play," Giggs eulogised after the impressive 5-0 win.
