Football Round-Up (Week 24)

Posted on Feb 4, 2013 by NFB

As expected, the league game against Fulham proved to be of a far more difficult nature than the FA Cup walkover the previous weak. The fact that Manchester United dominated possession and created numerous chances belies the truth that Fulham … Continue reading →

Football Round-Up (EPL Week 15)

Posted on Dec 10, 2012 by NFB

A big derby win for United, somewhat unexpected, but one that leaves them in a dominant position as we head towards Christmas. Being top of the table as the year comes to an end is always a plus, and United … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Barcelona (CPL Final)

Posted on May 30, 2011 by NFB

We will never beat Barcelona. They can be beaten. But not by us. Teams like Mourinho’s Inter and his Real Madrid (if they had been a bit luckier in some departments) are capable of it. They are not invincible. But … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: Vs Blackburn (away)

Posted on May 16, 2011 by NFB

Long hard scrape, but we’ve done it. Frustrating game to watch, Blackburn’s “park the bus” tactics not being very attractive to watch. Bit of an off day for the defence. Aside from some communication issues between Ferdinand and Vidic, Kuszczak has probably played his … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Schalke CPL, Semi-Final, First Leg

Posted on Apr 27, 2011 by NFB

As a friend of mine put it last night “Looks like League Schalke turned up”. Seriously, that might have been the easiest Champions League Semi-Final game I’ve seen. I have no idea how Schalke got this far, but it can’t … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Newcastle (Away)

Posted on Apr 20, 2011 by NFB

A frustrating evening, but it was always going to be a difficult contest. It could have gone either way and questions remain about some dodgy officiating. Giggs had a poor game, a rarity for him. The defence, barring a dicey opening few … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Man City (FA Cup)

Posted on Apr 17, 2011 by NFB

Dissapointing, in several ways. It was even enough affair for most of the match, and we had our chances. But City got the break they needed, the United defence varying between good and bad all game. Toure took his effort … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Chelsea, 1/4 Finals, CPL (Home)

Posted on Apr 13, 2011 by NFB

Quite the game, and United march on to the semi’s. It didn’t seem to be going all that well in the first half, but Chelsea simply lacked that cutting edge that they used to have, with Torres remaining ineffectual at … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Fulham (home)

Posted on Apr 10, 2011 by NFB

Fulham have become somewhat of a boogey team for us over the course of the last few years, but that seems to be only at Craven Cottage. At home, they aren’t so much of  a problem and so it proved yesterday. It … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Chelsea (CPL 1/4 Finals, Away)

Posted on Apr 7, 2011 by NFB

Quite a game, and not a result I expected. It is so difficult to get any kind of result away to Chelsea, let alone a win. A win with a clean sheet as well. It was an excellent all-round performance, … Continue reading →
