Bolton 0 – 1 Man Utd – No Nose Bleeds…
By: Wayne Farry |Sorry for my ridiculous absence on here lately. The guys here at the The Offside know the reason and have been great guys, seriously. But I thought the fitting time for me to return to the Man Utd blog was now.

September’s Interesting Times
By: Simon James |Latin scholars amongst you will know that septimus means “seventh” and Roman historians know that that is why September was the seventh month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC.

Babel’s Bobble
By: Simon James |As a Manchester United fan there is nothing much worse than losing to Liverpool. Even St£vie G and Carragher’s sulky countenances were lifted to unfamiliar grins for half an hour after the game (before, of course, their houses were burgled again for the fourth time that day).

Edwin Van der Sar Gets a Tad Embarrassed in Japan
By: Nick |Look, I’m not saying I’d could have actually saved the shot — but I’m reasonably confident I could have done a more effective job of not saving it. That was simply horrible for a World class goalkeeper.
FIFA Asked to Uncover Lingering Tevez Transfer Mess
