Posted on Oct 21, 2013 by NFB

Over the next little while, I’m going to be posting up a few of the articles that I have previously written for the website Lovely Left Foot, which is currently undergoing a hiatus of sorts. They may eventually be hosted … Continue reading →

Football Round-Up (LOI Week Eight, EPL Week 35)

Posted on Apr 29, 2013 by NFB

Some really bad football played Saturday night. I kind of wish the sending off didn’t happen, since Shelbourne just packed out their defence for the rest of the game, shut the door. I had a pretty good view of the … Continue reading →

The last week of LoI action has come and gone, with only three games to talk about. Dundalk have overcome Waterford over two legs to secure their Premier League status for next year, at least on the pitch. Dundalk weathered … Continue reading →

Football 11/12: Gunner Loyalty

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by NFB

There is very little to be said for a team strategy that consists of selling your best players, not replacing them, then leaving your untested youngsters out to dry against the league champions. The utter demolition job of Arsenal by … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Arsenal (away)

Posted on May 2, 2011 by NFB

Well, when your tactics work 80% of the time, they don’t 20% of the time. Over the last few years, United have always played the same type of game against the Gunners, which is to play deep in defence, let … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Everton (home)

Posted on Apr 25, 2011 by NFB

Back from a welcome internet-free Easter break. It was a nail biting game. This, rather than the games against Arsenal and Chelsea, is the kind of game that will ruin a season. Slightly less lucky and United are suddenly closer to … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Arsenal (FA Cup)

Posted on Mar 13, 2011 by NFB

Interesting game, one that matches the pattern of the last few years between Manchester United and Arsenal. They play their passing game, press, have most of the possession. We play the defensive minded, counter-attacking game. We win. They lose. I really … Continue reading →

Posted on Dec 21, 2010 by NFB

Since General Winter seems content to mess up my regular comments on Football (and create an inevitable fixture nightmare) lets take a look at the Champions League draw. Roma vs Shaktar Donetsk Roma have had a difficult time so far. Back to … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Arsenal

Posted on Dec 14, 2010 by NFB

Great performance, maybe the best of the season so far. Got the result and looked good doing it. Park’s goal was an excellent bit of heading and only the heroics of the Londoners keeper kept them from getting embarrassed. Arsenal’s typical … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Wigan

Posted on Nov 21, 2010 by NFB

Interesting game. The two red cards, both deserved, didn’t quite finish it as a contest, but from the second half onwards, United never look in trouble. Wigan missed their chances in the first to have a big impact on the game. … Continue reading →
