Happy Thanksgiving

I’m sure I’m speaking for all of us from the Manchester United offside, but I’d like to wish everyone in the US a very Happy Thanksgiving.

CL Preview : United vs Besiktas

By: Ryan | Comments 6 Comments

I am in no way any sort of expert of Turkish Football (the most I know is that they make Euros fun as shit to watch), coupled with the fact that United have already assured qualification to the knock-out round, makes Wednesday’s match somewhat of a mystery. Fergie will undoubtedly give our youth a good go, and also give some playing time to our returning injured players. However, a win means we will need one hell of a screw up to not qualify at the top of group. Decisions, decisions… Read the rest of this entry »

International Break Roundup

By: Ryan | Comments 4 Comments

This past week(s) we’ve have a couple united boys playing for their countries, attempting to qualify for South Africa. While its not directly “United Related”, there’s no way I cannot bring up the most blatant handball since Maradonna’s “Hand of God”.

So a quick roundup of the scores and the United personnel playing before I get to more on to what is going to be the single most discussed play in recent times:

France 1 – 1 Ireland (2-1 Aggregate)
France : Patrice Evra
Ireland : John O’Shea, Darren Gibson

Portugal 1 – B&H (2-0 Aggregate)
Portugal : Nani

The Best of SAF Referee Rants (Officials avert your eyes)

By: Ryan | Comments 9 Comments

If you haven’t heard by now, Sir Alex Ferguson has received a 2 match ban (and a 20,000 pound fine) for comments made about Alan Wiley, the official for our 2-2 draw with Sunderland. Sir Alex may have implied that Wiley was “fat”, simply by stating that he was not “fit” to officiate the match. Read the rest of this entry »

Nani – A Step Too Far??

By: Rebecca | Comments 8 Comments

NaniOver the weekend, Nani was keen to stress that his outburst against Sir Alex Ferguson last week did not constitute a ‘bust up’ with his boss.

Speaking in a Portuguese newspaper, he was quoted as saying:-

“Ferguson is a very complicated man. He’s tough. If things are all right, then they are all right. But when he thinks something is wrong, everything is screwed. He can go from complimenting you to just plain trashing you in a matter of minutes. Has it happened to me? Hell, yes! He’ll say ‘Nani, how could you miss this or this’?”

“People expect more from me and it’s not easy. But they are also not doing what they said they were going to. I can have a spectacular game but nobody guarantees me I will be starting the next match. It shatters your confidence. I did not play the important matches, against Liverpool, Manchester City or Tottenham. Not playing these games, I am a bit sad. But for now I am not considering leaving.”

Just who does he think he is?! Read the rest of this entry »

A quick “Hi” before I start

By: Rebecca | Comments 1 Comment

Just a note to say Hi really. You’ve probably read the biog that Taylor posted on me, a couple of days ago. So you probably know most things about my professional life and that I’ve had strong links with the club for many years.

Obviously a lot of you are based in the States so I hope I can bring a bit of Manchester to you as often as possible, to keep you in touch with what’s going on right here in ‘God’s own country!’. Read the rest of this entry »
