TERRACE TALK: Man United - Stylish display offers hope for the future

A fortnight ago, pondering ‘The LVG Question’ then being universally asked, I cautioned: “One might suggest waiting until the Derby County match to come to a conclusive judgement” about whether the crowd had finally, definitively turned. That night, the lads provided an answer of sorts: “Not quite yet, pal.”

Doom and gloom still pervades for ‘crap invincibles’

AH, remember the Good Old Days, when to be a relatively well-informed citizen and football fan didn’t require a first class economics degree?

FC United show true heart of Manchester

HOW did we do last night, then? Not that it matters very much, I suppose: thanks to the rather fortunate win in Catalonia, this group appears to have gone into a coma, which prompted Messrs Fergie and Carrick pre-match to sound off about how “great” the Champions League still is in terms of excitement in its group stages.

Rooney’s not so fond farewell

ANY faint, lingering doubts that Wayne Rooney’s future lies away from Old Trafford have been eliminated by a statement in which the player confirms that he wants to leave Manchester United – and purports to give his reasons why.

United lack ambition, says Rooney

Wayne Rooney has accused Manchester United of lacking ambition.

United we stand in our travails

Five-star reward for green and gold horde

EVEN a cynic like me couldn’t help but be stirred by the swirling display of anti-Glazer green and gold at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Stealing the core of our club

AS the Goldwynism has it: ‘it’s like deja vu all over again.’ The familiar beats play out: stadium protest banners, heated meetings in pub backrooms; threats of balaclava’d aggro, all to a backing track of lurid media frenzy. 1991, 1995, 1998, 2004 and now 2010. Such regularity.! It’s like the Activist Olympics.

Money’s too tight to mention?

WHAT a weekend of conflicting emotions: celebrating uproariously our second four-goal haul in a week, combined with fretting over the flood of stories suggesting that the crowd of vultures who’ve been circling over Malcolm Glazer’s metaphorical and literal sickbed are preparing to eat.

Glazers are no American dream but Saudi owners are a United nightmare

AND with one late bound, they were free. Not just United on Saturday, but Chelsea too. Twice over, it would seem: Lampard’s goal is being credited with saving Scolari’s job, of course, but there’s also the matter of their very future as a club.

Keane should remember that Fergie made a pig’s ear of his first job too

Local pride stirred as back street kid Welbeck fronts up

ONE of Sir Alex’s favourite deflection-mode gripes, which he tends to wheel out when we have just lost, is that the fixture list is somehow mysteriously nobbled against us every year.

Suits are rattled as economic reality bites

WATCHING Ingerlund’s footballers blunder about unconvincingly for much of their match last Saturday, one wondered whether their minds were elsewhere – on their bank accounts and investments, for example.

The inside track on how day’s drama unfolded

ONLY 48 hours ago, I wrote in this paper’s Arena magazine that Roy Keane was in a win-win situation at United and that it seemed he was simply waiting for Alex Ferguson to shove him in one direction or the other. Little did I imagine, of course, that the push would happen quite so rapidly and in such dramatic circumstances.
