So here we are at the end of another working week and a weekend of FA Cup football ahead of us. Today is press conference day and whilst we got a bit of news as usual on injuries yesterday from Le Boss, he'll no doubt elaborate a little bit more this morning and give us an [...]
Today's thoughts are coming with an opening paragraph disclaimer: I am not going to be nice about the team or the manager today. I have been stewing on yesterday's result since the final whistle went and where sometimes time can be a healer and cause me to try to be a little bit more objective, [...]
I don't know whether to be thankful that United players seem to be dropping like flies ahead of our crucial game at Old Trafford on Sunday, or fearful of some kind of comedic backlash from the rookies and squad players van Gaal picks to play against us in the league. After all, I seem to [...]
I hope the planets aren't seemingly aligning for us to give us a false sense of security. What I mean by that is three fold: Hull City's hectic fixture scheduling Steve Bruce has already admitted he's going to have to rotate his squad for those players who haven't played much recently. He's bidding for a [...]

We've certainly ticked all of today's boxes, as well as a a game against a lower league opposition in Burnley, who will probably be a Premier League [...]
So, it has been confirmed that we will be top of the league come New Year's Day, after the two City's - Leicester and Manchester - failed to score and ended with a 0-0 stalemate. It's the best possible result that we could have hoped for, in truth, because a Moneychester win would have put [...]
I had a race against time to get down for the match, after spending Christmas up north with The Managements family, so didn't manage a pre-game blog. But it's always a worthwhile journey when Arsenal win, so I'm glad I got up early and I'm even more glad we won, after the poor performance on [...]
On the face of it, if you consider that we are still just two points from the top of the league, life appears to be not that bad for us. But that is if you ignore some of the clear issues that appear to exist at the club right now. A 1-1 draw against Norwich [...]
