As Taylor mentioned, I will be one of the day-to-day writers for my beloved Red Devils. So let’s get this party started by doing a massive recap of our past “big” games:
Wow, I Thought I Was Disappointed

Perhaps an insensitive title, but this is shocking. It’s been reported on most news networks that a Nigerian Man Utd fan killed four Barcelona fans last night! He was obviously so disappointed after our loss to the Catalonia club that he couldn’t take it but really, killing four people? That’s fucking insane. He apparently ran [...]
Category: Champions LeagueCongratulations To Barcelona

As you can imagine, I’m devastated. I was wrong about my prediction. I was also wrong about Barca’s potential when playing against world-class opposition. They’re immense, in every way.
Simply put, they were utterly superb. Equally simply put, we didn’t turn up.
So please excuse me if this is short but I can’t go into this right [...]

By: Wayne Farry | 11 Comments
What can I say? Absolutely stunning match so far. Fast-paced football, great one-touch passing (mostly from Barcelona). My 3-0 prediction of a United win is well out the window. But I can’t argue. United did dominate the first eight minutes, they passed it convincingly, pressured the Barca back four and looked dangerous, so dangerous that [...]

As you have probably seen, or may not have, Taylor and I did a mammoth preview yesterday. If that hasn’t whetted your appetite for tonight’s match buildup I’ve been talking to Isaiah from the Barcelona Offside over the past few days to try and get a die-hard Barca fan’s view on the Champions League Final. [...]

For some reason or another I can’t post the videos of the United press conferences up here so I’ll just leave the links. In the press conference, Fergie is clearly confident and Rio says that he feels good enough to play. It’s also quite funny to see Ronaldo push the mic over to Rio who [...]

By: Wayne Farry | 10 Comments
As well as the thousands of fans with tickets for next Wednesday’s Champions League Final in Rome, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office have said that up to ten thousand Man Utd fans without tickets will also be going to Rome for the match against Barcelona.
For anyone lucky enough to be going, whether with or [...]

By: Wayne Farry | 2 Comments
At a press conference on Wednesday, Ryan Giggs told of his delight at the pairing of the two best teams in Europe in next Wednesday’s Final and also stated his belief that if United win in Rome, they could dominate Europe for years to come. While Barcelona probably have the same designs in their mind, [...]

By: Wayne Farry | 14 Comments
Reports coming out of Italy, courtesy of newspaper La Repubblica, say that plans are being drawn up by Ultras to cause massive trouble on the night of the Champions League Final, 27 May.
The report by the newspaper claims that the Italian DIGOS (Division of Special Investigations and Organised Crime) are fearing that Barcelona and Roma [...]
Category: Champions LeagueUEFA Continue Vendetta Against Common Sense
By: Wayne Farry | 12 Comments
Well, they’re nothing if not consistent in their eternal battle against football and common sense. For today, UEFA threw out Man Utd’s appeal that Darren Fletcher’s ridiculous red card be rescinded. And what reason did they give for not overturning the red card? That’s right, because Man Utd didn’t appeal within the twenty-four hour period [...]
