RheinEnergieStadion I used the stats feature at ESPN Soccernet to calcluate the clubs with the best attendances. Out of the top 20 attendances in Europe, Germany had 9 clubs. This post is to equip you with a tool to help promote our great league. Because, while we are in a slump in the Champions League […]

Since Real Madrid's £80m swoop on Cristiano Ronaldo, I've read plenty of responses by United supporters insisting this was a positive move for the team. Man U is not one player. We've got 80m to spend. We're fine. No, really. While the Ronaldo move was inevitable and £80m is a handsome bundle of cash to […]

It seems that the people who own Carlos Tevez, well the own his economic rights; seem to underestimate Sir Alex Fergusons strength of character. Over the last few weeks, Tevez has been quoted several times stating he feels his future lies away from Old Trafford and with a club that will show him more respect. […]

Surely Manchester United must sign Carlos Tevez now. With Cristiano Ronaldo off to Madrid, the Red Devils need a replacement that cannot be found in one player. CR7 is a complete footballer, blessed with pace, power, dribbling, shooting, heading, free kicks, etc. He is one of a kind. If United let Tevez go, they will […]

So its official, Manchester United's board have accepted a world record shattering bid of £80 million this morning from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo. I don't know about you, but I couldn't face another summer of every news outlet boring us to tears speculating on Ronaldo's future as we had last season. Day after day, […]

Football is often at its best when it revels in simplicity. And Barcelona used a simple principle to win yesterday's final: if you never give your opponent the ball, he cannot beat you. Sounds like something out of the Art of War. Maybe it was. United did have some time on the ball, but it […]

And now it's time for all good little football writers to predict the winner of today's final. No dodging the question. No avoiding the responsibilities of punditry. Well, Clyde, I think it's too close to call. I mean, if we don't pick a side, we're being wishy-washy, right? Readers want deliberate statements. They want to […]

As we count down the hours until tomorrow's clash of titans in Rome, wondering if we're going to enjoy a goal fest or another penalty kick shoot-out, here's a look at the most memorable European finals from the last ten years: Liverpool 3-3 AC Milan 2005 One of the most legendary comebacks of all time […]

Some years, it seems like the UEFA Champions League is one part football, four parts money and twelve parts hype. This year, however, the hype surrounding the Champions League Final certainly seems justified. Manchester United v. Barcelona. Champions of England v. Champions of Spain. Both clubs are goliaths. Both clubs have already won two domestic […]

So, how's your nerves? Sky Sports News have today been running an article about stress relief for fans for Sunday. Tips included having a hot bath, avoiding alcohol and meditating to stay relaxed in the build up to the final round of matches in the Premiership. Which will be no help to any of the […]

With another season drawing to a close and the usual suspects in their normal places in the top four, isn't it about time that the second level of teams finally pushed up to join them? With Everton once again in a Europa League place, Villa making massive strides, despite the fall away they suffered after […]

It's perhaps inevitable in this day and age that footballers will not follow in the footsteps of their predecessors into the inevitable job opportunities that present themselves. Manager, Coach, Television pundit, Pub landlord, Priest and Horse trainer are just some of the roles that former players often either fell into, or chose to follow their […]

It says a lot, for better or for worse, that Manchester United's eighteenth championship sent barely a ripple through the footballing press. Most headlines read, "Man United 0 – Arsenal 0," with United's Premier League-winning feat mentioned in the sub header. It seems the Premier League ended some time ago, perhaps when Liverpool drew Arsenal […]

If Wigan had hosted United in mid-August rather than mid-May, they might have thought they had a chance to hold onto the draw as the 80th minute mark passed. Ten minutes to go. A one all scoreline. Why not? But this season has been a long lesson on Manchester's late resolve, and so Michael Carrick's […]

They huffed, they puffed but they failed to blow United's house down. Liverpool look set to finish the season with no silverware to show for it and yet to make an appearance at the rebuilt Wembley. After tonight's victory for Manchester United at the JJB the title race will be over if United gain a single point from […]
