LFC 3-1 NUFC
A lacklustre United side were comfortably turned over in their usual fashion at Anfield last night as old boy Craig Bellamy ran riot on a strange Friday night.
With United lining up with Haris Vuckic in a 5-man midfield behind the lone Demba Ba, and Leon Best dropping to the bench, they failed to get a stranglehold on the game and never looked like getting anything from a match where, quite...

The End Of The Good Times?
So 1pt from Swansea, Norwich and WBA. Tonight we lacked shape, fight and integrity. There was more gusto and battle in last nights so called Battle of Lancashire then we seen in the match at SJP.
No movement, poor defending and a lack of passion and fight seen us go 6 games without a win. People are shouting about our great start to the season, remember we had only 5 pts less this time last year...

Are they saying boo or boourns?
Firstly, an apology for severe lack of updates on the site.
Life and work getting in the way of our mundane, mental and somewhat daft site recently.
Why not kick start things again with a lovely rant towards several bits and bobs that have been getting on my tit end the past few weeks. You may notice some familiar themes pop up from previous rants…

NUFC 0-0 SCFC
United made it five games without victory yesterday after a frustrating goalless draw at St James Park.
It wasn’t, however, for a lack of effort and guile that The Mags failed to turn over their Welsh counterparts, as the luck which we have ridden at times this season deserted us at an emotional SJP.
Before the game, the club paid tribute to Gary Speed with a rendition of Bread of Heaven...

Anyone up for a bit of advert hijacking?
There must be some creative souls out there who can doctor this advert, found at Newcastle International Airport, somehow?

NCFC 4-2 NUFC
United lost for the only the third time this season in a sadly predictable manner this afternoon at Carrow Road, as Norwich City gave United’s makeshift back four a aerial bossing.
With United lining up with Santon and Raylor at full backs, and a pairing of full backs in Simpson and Perch in at centre half, the inevitable bombardment led to a third defeat in four.
United started reasonably...

NUFC 0-3 CFC
United suffered defeat at SJP for the first time this season as Chelsea returned to form in a 3-0 win.
With Peter Lovenkrands deputising for the suspended Jonas on the left of midfield, United started brightly, and Chelsea should have been down to 10 men after just four minutes when David Luiz clearly brought down Demba Ba as he was in on goal. The referee Mike Deam inexplicably brandished only a...
