It is no coincidence that my 50th article of 2013 is on the Ginger Maestro. It is fitting that we revere and sendoff the great Paul Scholes in the grandest of styles. He may have retired before, but his comeback was even more phenomenal. After seven months out of the game, the pass King returned
Since Sir Alex Ferguson shocked the world of football by announcing his retirement on Wednesday morning, there has been little ambiguity as to whom Manchester United wanted to succeed their most successful manager. A day later, with people still coming to terms of the prospect of a Ferguson-less Old Trafford for the first time in
It’s been nine years since Sir Alex Ferguson was left to rue talk of his retirement disrupting the side enough to finish third, his equal-worst finish as a Premier League boss during a managerial spell that has now reached 26 years. After winning a 13th league title, Manchester United’s 20th in total, it appears the
Rewind to the early 2000s, it was all about Arsenal and Manchester United, later Chelsea came into the equation. Fast forward to 2013 and all you see is an Arsenal decline. The team which used to compete for all the top domestic honours have been reduced to mere challengers for a place among the top
What a welcome relief. The International break is well and truly over (at least for now). Focus shifts to club football once again. This is what the fans really care about, not some boring games all in the name of World Cup Qualifiers, although some games were hugely entertaining. Manchester United resume domestic affairs in
The return leg of the massively anticipated battle between two of the World’s most appreciated and successful clubs goes down tonight at the Theatre of Dreams. With the tie in the balance at 1-1, the war is expected to be keenly contested and excellently played out. Visitors, Real Madrid have been unbelievable in the past
The January transfer window passed off as quietly as expected at Manchester United as Alex Ferguson resisted the urge of distorting his already supremely talented squad with a panic buy. Wilfried Zaha did come in for a fee of £15 million from Crystal Palace, but at the age of 20 with a fledgling career that
Over the last 20 years, we have been privileged to see so many brilliant players and wonderful goals illuminate the Premier League, leading to a plethora of breathtaking football matches. But which of these games stand-out, leaving an ever-lasting imprint on our memories? The following is a list of my top 10 games of the
Manchester United fans have RVP to thank for sparing the club from yet another disastrous F.A Cup campaign when he popped up in the last minute of normal time to secure a REPLAY and another chance to qualify fro the 4th Round. The Red Devils, fresh from adding another three points to their EPL total
Forget about EL CLASICO (Real Madrid- Barcelona), THE SUPER CLASICO (Boca-River), DE KLASSIEKER (Ajax -Feyenoord) etc. The biggest game in world football is MANCHESTER UNITED V LIVERPOOL and luckily for all of us, football lovers, it is going down this weekend at the city of Manchester (Sunday afternoon). Matches of this magnitude are always feisty
Two fierce rivals go head-to-head as the Londoners opt to re-find their form after a somehow mediocre performance against QPR last Saturday. While the home side look to continue their good run in the Premier League and increase the pressure on Chelsea at the top of the table. If Arsenal win on Saturday they will
The decisions given against Chelsea in this weekend’s game may be viewed by many people as a mere co-incidence and that it was honest mistakes on the part of the officials. Moreover, conversations will centre on, “accepting the referee’s decisions in the true spirit of sportsmanship”. This appears to be what being English is all
5th June 2012, Manchester United secured the signing of Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa from Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund for an estimated £12 million (rising to £17 million). Upon his signing, football analysts agreed that the Kagawa’s arrival was a signal of a change in approach for Manchester United; Kagawa is a prominent attacking midfielder who
The electrifying form of Tom Ince for Ian Holloway’s adventurous Blackpool is, as always seems to, attracting the interference of the British press in order to link the young Englishman to the higher echelons of the domestic game. It has become an expectation now that, after a promising individual displays good form for a team

I normally do not get agitated by articles, which display one’s passion for a club. In fact, it just strengthens the fact that there are some very zealous fans out there who are representing nothing but their love for that beloved team or nation that they support. However, I recently came across this article written in July

When Phil Jones signed for Manchester United at the end of the 2010 - 2011 Premier league season, he was a young defensive midfielder who had proved extremely versatile in a highly impressive season in an otherwise unimpressive Blackburn team. Sir Alex Ferguson had just led Manchester United to history making 19th league title and
When Manchester United bade farewell to the languid Bulgarian Footballer, Dimitar Ivanov Berbatov, many fans breathed a sigh of relief as they were happy to see his back finally after slating him for the 4 torrid years he had at the club. He never had the support of the MUFC faithful because of his playing
For many years now, Sir Alex Ferguson has been buying promising youth projects and developing them into world class football players. The signing of young Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez therefore should be met with genuine excitement. Henriquez has an impressive scoring record for his previous club Universidad de Chile, scoring 11 goals in 17 appearances
Michael Owen, remember him? The once great next hope of English football, from scoring an equaliser for Liverpool away at Wimbledon on the opening day of the 1997 season as a fresh-faced 17 year old, to doing away with footballing reputations and the logic of age as his 18 year old vibrancy tore an impressive

Dimitar Berbatov is not going to be a Manchester United player talked about by all generations in the same way Bobby Charlton and George Best have been. But for the section of United fans who have watched Dimitar Berbatov play for the club for the past four seasons will always remember themselves what a wonderfully
Sunday 19th August 2001, away to Manchester United on our first full season in the Premiership, was my first Fulham game. Then, as last weekend, we lost 3-2. What has changed is that the squad and ethos of the entire club has altered dramatically since that day 11 years ago. Back then we were on
