Evra & Young have a good understanding

Hillsborough and the ridiculous ideas
This week’s report on the Hillsborough tragedy was both long overdue and damning for West Yorkshire Police, The FA and the UK Government.
As a 15-year old United supporter in 1989, I watched on in horror as the scenes unfolded on TV. First instincts (Like many people at the time) was that Liverpool fans where at it again. It soon became clear in the days that followed that...

Would you have Ronaldo back at Manchester United?
With his recent post-match comments, Ronaldo has sparked a lot of interest as to where his future lies with Real Madrid - which could and should put Sir Alex Ferguson on full alert to closely monitor his situation.

Let's state the obvious that every club in the world would love to have Ronaldo in their team, but only...
How Robin van Persie will change Manchester United
Other than having another player to bang in timely goals, Robin van Persie will add a lot more than that for Manchester United - proving he's worth every penny Sir Alex Ferguson paid for him.

A simple analogy to the questioning of Sir Alex

How diving became such a problem in English football
In English football - more so than in any other country - wingers and forwards, or any other attack-minded savvy player, are absolutely battered by opposing defenders, so you should be able to comprehend why a player goes to ground as easily as they do.
Young made the most of Clark's foul
Manchester United's Ashley Young is just latest player to overly criticized...
REACTIONS: Five clear, four remain for United
The juicy prospect of claiming the Premier League crown before kickoff against Manchester City, with full honor guard action mind you, evaporated in the loss to Wigan.

Not a boy, but a Young man
'Like many, I questioned Sir Alex Fergusons' decision to make a move for the then Aston Villa winger, Ashley Young....' How many times have I seen something like this on twitter and various other football and Man United related media outlets? Hundreds, probably more. Why did the signing cause so much questions? Even the most biased, blindly following, United fans partially...
The Ideal Ownership Model
Since the financial results of the last trimester were published, my worries for the Club and its ability to obtain major signings or retain stars became deeper and deeper.
The enormous debt payment left the club with half the amount of cash they used to have, which means less power to negotiate. Doesn’t mean the club has no money, what it means is that the club doesn’t...

Performance review of the Liverpool game
Fantastic performance overall from every player. Standouts for me were Valencia, Scholes, Evans, Rio, Carrick.
United had a lot of performers
They were causing all sorts of problems for them. Liverpool were out to frustrate us from the first whistle. They had never set out to play and get a win. And that's exactly what they did in the 1st half. Our finishing wasnt upto...
United's impressive win was marred by preventable actions
There are going to be many things said over the next week about the game v Liverpool at weekend and about the racism issue in general. And you can guarantee that it will come from the scousers.

Much has been said on the issue on merseyside and the blind support shown to Luis Suarez by the club and fans has beggared belief....
Was Liverpool's apology heart-felt or forced?
In an attempt to defuse the very preventable circumstances surrounding the Northwest Derby, Liverpool Football Club has issued an apology for their actions - but was it meaningful?
