Excuses, Excuses

In the early game, New York Red Bulls (5th place in MLS) found victory over Manchester City, 2-1. This was a [...]

ARSENAL CAN’T WIN

Written by: Gabe

I’m in the midst of watching the second leg of the Manchester United versus Arsenal UEFA Champions League matchup wondering if the gunners can score five in the next 20 minutes to win on aggregate. What I mean is, Arsenal is out. Again. This game should teach everyone how lethal mistakes are with Christiano Ronaldo [...]

MANU FAN JUST LOVES EMMA

Written by: Gabe

Ah, the old Pretend-to-be-a-hot-mistress-when-you-are-really-two-Liverpool-fans-who-are-also-cage-fighters trick. I have to give them respect for the quality of this prank, but I’m afraid it’s a few steps out of touch, so to speak. I mean, they broke the guy’s ankle and got him divorced? For supporting Manchester United? You must read this cautionary tale of a life lived [...]

Manchester United beat Tottenham4-1 on penalties after a 0-0 score during regulation to win the 2009 Carling Cup. I usually dont bother with the other cups in the English game but this season will be interesting.

MAN U LOSING SPONSOR AIG?

Written by: tyler ransburgh

So the financial crisis has hit the soccer business, and I’m not talking about slowing kit sales. American International Group, better know as AIG, are having a little trouble. They were recently saved by the United States government to the tune of $85 billion USD. Not a small amount. In order to manage the current [...]

BERBATOV BEGS FOR MAN U TRANSFER

Written by: tyler ransburgh

Of course Dimitar Berbatov is begging to leave the annual underachieving Tottenham (not so) Hotspurs. A bigger question is why Manchester United is trying so diligently to sign Berbatov. And for £20+ million? You have to be joking. The only argument for signing Berbatov is the 15 goals he scored for Tottenham last season. Which [...]
