Before yesterday's game against Everton, I wasn't quite sure of what we were going to see. Man United don't tend to be at their best after International games but there was nothing to worry about. Man United eased to a comfortable 3-0 win over Everton and it could have been more than that. Click to continue reading...

Morning all, welcome to the blog on this sleepy Saturday.
As we are coming nearer and nearer to the end of the Interlull (which, if anyone was wondering, is a crass combination of international and lull) the news is starting to ramp up.
Of course, as most of you would be aware, coach Dave Mitchell held a presser yesterday as part of Perth Glory's midseason review, which was nothing more than a normal presser. Click to continue reading...

Everton will be looking to reverse their downward spiral on Saturday when they host Aston Villa at Goodison Park. For me, this is that match of the week as we will watch two normally exciting clubs battle to move up the table.
