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 11/12: The Goalkeeping Error Problem

Posted on Aug 15, 2011 by NFB

When a forward makes a mistake, he may miss a great chance to score. When a midfielder makes a mistake, he may give away possession, or fail to find an attacker with a pass. When a defender makes a mistake, … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs West Ham (away)

Posted on Apr 3, 2011 by NFB

Just like the Blackpool game, another stunning comeback that may be far more important than points gained against bigger clubs. United weren’t even playing that badly throughout the first hour of the match, conceding to two penalties after all, but there was a … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Wigan (away)

Posted on Feb 28, 2011 by NFB

I didn’t see it, being occupied by other matters. Suffice to say, United have never had a troubling time with Wigan, with 13 straight wins. Hernandez did well, Rooney got on the scoresheet and Fabio scored his first goal for … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs West Brom (away)

Posted on Jan 2, 2011 by NFB

Controversial game, obviously. Chris Foy had a shocker, a performance to be ashamed off. West Brom should have had a penalty in the first, and Neville a red card. After that, he seemed to fall into the common trap of awarding … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: Champions League Last 16 Predictions

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 Rangers (away)

Posted on Nov 26, 2010 by NFB

Not a great performance, but we were helped by the desperately poor showing of the Scottish Champions who have proven again that the standard of football in the north of Britain isn’t anywhere near the level it often claims to be. … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Bursaspor (away)

Posted on Nov 3, 2010 by NFB

Now that was a good professional performance. It helps that Bursaspor might be the worst team remaining in the tournament. Not much of threat in this game or in the last. For United, it was a case of patiently waiting for their opportunity … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Bolton

Posted on Sep 27, 2010 by NFB

Away form seems to be difficult to find and its all the more aggravating considering we had the opportunity to make up serious ground on Chelsea. As it is, its Man City’s weekend. Just a lot of players not doing … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs West Ham

Posted on Aug 29, 2010 by NFB

Another doddle, which was exactly what you need after failing to get 3 points against Fulham. The result is important but equally so is the fact that Rooney has finally ended his goal drought as many expected him to. United … Continue reading →
