Anderson provides midfield balance 10:47am on 26 May 2009 #74 I think you are right - United were always going to park the bus because they know if they go toe-to-toe with a superior passing team like Barca they'll get ripped to pieces. Pathetic. They'd probably take pens now like their last glorious win when they were outplayed.
Anderson provides midfield balance 10:36am on 26 May 2009 If he weren't in the red shirt and played like he does he'd be considered a cheat and a thug. Same goes for many of their players. Don't say anything against them though BBC, Taggart might instruct his players to stop talking to you too.
Man Utd are worthy champions 6:08pm on 17 May 2009 Amazing isn't it - Man Utd spend a fortune on players, tapping up in the process often, and pay what it takes to keep their best players on their books and they win things. Incredible. What a manager!
Bitter recriminations at the Bridge 09:17am on 07 May 2009 Alves vs Malouda - usually given outside the area but rarely inside. Having given a free kick though it ought to have been a penalty.

Abidal vs Drogba - ought to have been a penalty and red card

Toure vs Drogba - clean challenge, rightly no penalty

Abidal vs Anelka - no foul and wrongly red carded

Ballack volley to Barca arm at the end - not deliberate and rightly waved away.

The crowd and players went NUTS on all of these. A very strong refereeing performance I thought.

And remember Henry was pulled in the area in the first leg.
Keane's gone to the dogs 1:39pm on 24 Apr 2009 I remember him likening being a pundit on Sky Sports to going to the dentists - and laying into Richard Keys for trying to see something that isn't there in regard to attacking Arsene Wenger, going on to say Wenger will be remembered in a hundred years whilst the pundits and presenters will not be.

As a player I thought he was vile. As a manager he's been very open and honest - got a lot of time for him, probably the best to listen to.
Pitch imperfect 09:19am on 21 Apr 2009 Nice to see the BBC resorting to employing gutter press mentality journos... and they're proven correct by the number of people that praise this tripe each week.

Never mind honesty, integrity and decency - popularity is what counts and if 'moving with the times' means pandering to fools then I guess that's what the beeb will do.

So many flaws in your stupid blog I won't bother to begin.
How to build a sporting dynasty 12:10pm on 26 Mar 2009 Sweetsmellofsuccess... no I'm not missing the point. 5th best in his era is not saying he's rubbish is it? I'm saying there are better that just haven't had his scenario.
How to build a sporting dynasty 11:05am on 26 Mar 2009 Yes it's remarkable how he continually broken transfer record after transfer record to keep United at the top. I'm in awe I really am.

What was interesting though was how Mourinho DOMINATED with Chelsea when he was given the money to do so and left in charge of the budget.

Great circumstances have made a 'great manager' in history. Those who were about at the time though who don't blindly follow the sheep know he was about 5th best in his era.
Jose bows to Man Utd power 5:00pm on 12 Mar 2009 Quel parfum?
TV rules the roost in Brazil 3:16pm on 04 Mar 2009 Lots of leagues suffer when their best players are continually plucked from abroad. See the drastic decline in the dutch league. And fewer people will bother to go watch if there aren't people worth watching... it's self perpetuating.
