I never thought Nani would feature here, because he’s shit. But today (and in fairness in the last couple of games) he has actually looked good. And he capped those good performances with a spectacular goal against Arsenal. Whether the finish was deliberate is debatable (actually it’s not, it wasn’t) but the turn that beat two men out wide was genuine class. A moment of genius, you could say…
Worse and worse and worse. Firstly we wrote of their inevitable decline. Then they were linked with Harry Kewell. Now the Glazers are asset stripping…
We wrote recently of of Man United as a club in decline – see here http://footballsup.com/2010/01/are-dirty-leeds-indicative-of-a-wider-malaise/. But here is real, solid evidence – coincidentally also linked to Leeds…
Was the defeat to Leeds simply one of those cup upsets? Or is it an indicator that the mighty Manchester United are a club in decline? There’s nothing like a snap judgement
I was going to write another bit about Rooney’s dive this weekend, but I bore myself with the diving dogma so no doubt any regular readers we do have are bored also. And then I saw Patrick Barclay had written a piece, and I like him, so I’ve reprinted that instead. And then I saw he’s also commented on the penalty issue (goalkeepers advancing off their lines) which was going to be my other piece – so I’ve just reprinted that too. This site is rapidly turning into reprint central – but at least the quality of writing is going up…
We’ve already tipped Arsenal, and Chelsea – so now let’s go with United to make sure we’re not wrong. And our reasoning? Read on to find out…
I think these are our most covered topics. We’ve discussed it many times, and provided material for Patrick Barclay. If you’ve read those articles you’ll know our position already. There were two incidents this weekend that fulled the debate – one in the United/Chelsea game, and one in the Liverpool/Birmingham game. Here is our take on them…
Roughly a quarter of the way into the new season and the Big Four have experiences vastly contrasting fortunes. We have a look at them…
It seemed about time to update our outdated stats section – read on for the stand-out statistical quirks in the Premier League, on a club by club basis. Note – thanks Football 365…
It’s patently obvious Man Utd are not the side they were. No-one can lose Tevez and Ronaldo and be as effective – especially if you replace them with Valencia (3 goals and 3 assists last season) and Owen (perennially injured, super-sub). We maintain they will struggle this season – a slip out of the top four has even been mooted. Their performance against Sunderland is one of the worst from them in living memory. So – are United a club in crisis?
