I really have only one thing to say about yesterday’s performance. My girlfriend and I were out to dinner Friday night and the topic of the Liverpool match came up. She asked me if I was nervous/if she should avoid being in the apartment Sunday morning and I (like an idiot) told her the following. [...]

This week has been crazy in pretty much every sense of the word. From insane results in the Champions League to a magic fight in Madrid to Wes Brown’s Zombie Corpse making an appearance in Moscow, it’s been a bit of a random week. So, how better to cap it all off then another dose [...]

• It’s good to have Edwin Van der Sar back. Bolton may have pulled a goal back, but the big Dutchman kept his area clear for a large portion of the game and definitely seemed to be a calming presence at the back. The play that most stands out in my mind is when Van der [...]

And with that, Paul Pogba became a Manchester United player. After months of speculation regarding the fate of the French teenager, a FIFA-appointed judge upheld United’s claim that Pogba could not have been offered financial inducements to break a contract (because he didn’t have one) and was therefore free to sign with the English champions.

Manchester United have today confirmed that Ritche De Laet will be a United player until at least 2012. The Belgian defender was offered a new contract that will keep him at Old Trafford for the foreseeable future (not entirely sure in what capacity, but at least he’ll be here).

By: Taylor Rockwell | 15 Comments
Saturday’s match against Sunderland saw yet another questionable performance from current Manchester United keeper Ben Foster. United and Sunderland were tied at one all when a deft cross from Andy Reid was headed home by Black Cats striker Kenwyne Jones. Some (including Sir Alex Ferguson and Ben Foster) will argue that this goal was the [...]

It was a little over a year ago that I first began writing for the Manchester United Offside, and what a year it has been. Another Premiership win, a Carling Cup victory, a semi-memorable Champions League Final appearance, and a rather turbulent summer have all come and gone since I first mocked John Terry way [...]

By: Taylor Rockwell | 4 Comments
Yesterday saw yet another chapter written in the storied history book of England versus Germany, and Manchester United managed to pull out a 2-1 victory over German club VfL Wolfsburg. It had all the hallmarks of a classic encounter, including multiple goals, brilliant strategizing, and Michael Owen’s degenerating legs (a hallmark of most classic English [...]
