Yet again, Manchester United’s football was far from impressive as they played Sheffield United in their FA Cup third round tie. With a distinct lack of goal threat, Memphis Depay entered the field of play with an hour played. Minutes later, the Dutchman attempted a shot from distance which sailed narrowly wide. Incredibly, the shot […]

Everton hosted Dagenham and Redbridge for their third round FA Cup tie, and after their midweek League Cup exploits, several of their stars were rested for the game. Romelu Lukaku wasn’t in the squad after an injury in the game against City and the likes of Gerard Deulofeu and Ross Barkley were benched for the […]

For a few minutes at least, the magic of the Cup was very much alive for Jeff Stelling. The Soccer Saturday host couldn’t contain his excitement when his beloved Hartlepool side took the lead in their third round tie with Derby… His reaction to the news that his team had taken the lead was enough to […]

Admit it. We’ve all been there. A quiet night in the pub turns into a full blown night out, and a few beers later you’ve taken all your clothes off and are in the middle of the road trying to pick fights with passing cars. Okay, maybe we’ve not all been there – but this individual certainly […]

A week barely goes by without Manchester United being linked with spectacular moves for Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale or Neymar. Realistically, the thought of Manchester United pulling off any of those transfers would be a bit of a stretch – especially given their form in recent weeks. But reports in Spain suggest that United are […]

Aston Villa fans were given no respite from their side’s miserable league form as they failed to beat Wycombe Wanderers in their third round FA Cup tie.

By now, we’re sure that Manchester United fans have heard about Javier Hernandez’s impressive form.

Those that are in the know seem to think that Pep Guardiola will be Manchester City’s new manager next season – regardless of how successful Manuel Pellegrini is in the remainder of this season.

Following their earlier-than-expected exit from the Champions League, Manchester United were drawn with Danish side FC Midtjylland in the Europa League. Let’s be honest, it’s not the type of European glamour tie United have been used to in the last couple of decades or so. In fact, their opponents were only formed in 1999 – […]

Although we’re absolutely not condoning this kind of behaviour the next time you’re having a kick about, we imagine there’s probably a few opponents that have thought about doing this kind of thing to Lionel Messi over the years.

It’s hardly a secret that Manchester United haven’t done too well when it’s come to putting the ball in the back of the net this season. One of the many attacking players to have left Old Trafford in Louis van Gaal’s time at the club is Adnan Januzaj – but thankfully for his manager, his […]

Manchester United supporters have been vocal enough when it comes to criticising their team’s style of play in recent weeks, and it seems they’re not alone.
