PASSIONATE COMEBACK MASKS MAJOR PROBLEMS:

DARKSIDE CHRONICLES: Edition 002 Let me start off this week by saying that originally I was planning to offer up a different article that dealt with other problems regarding Manchester United. But due to the big game and glorious comeback that the lads...

BACK IN BLACK AND WITH A BULLET

THE DARK SIDE CHRONICLES: Edition 001 Hello to all friends and foes in the Red Rantiverse.  Yes I’m back and I must say that returning to Red Rants is as much a shock to me as it is to you.  When I left some moths ago, I was determined to stay away...

United’s Win at Everton Leaves Me Comfortably Numb

Well let me start by getting the lone positive from the game out. We won. Yup, that’s it folks, we won. And if that’s all it takes to make many of you all wet and warm and fuzzy in your nether regions then may I offer some advice after you check yo...

Theatre of Nightmares as City Set Down Marker

Never in my wildest nightmares, never ever did I expect this. And yet it happened. Last night I played a match between Manchester United and Manchester City with FIFA 12 on my XBOX 360 as a precursor to the real deal which would be happening just 12 ho...

Lucky United Kop for a Point

Well it wasn’t a classic that’s for sure. These days it has become apparent to me that waking up at 4:30 Pacific Standard Time to watch my beloved Manchester United is the action of stupid man not interested in his health and sleeping pattern. Fran...

United Cage the Canaries

Today was one of those rare days at Old Trafford where I would have liked to be in the dressing room at halftime to watch for the hairdryer.  After all, for 45 minutes Fergie had sat on his hands through what has to be one of the dullest and most unin...

Would You Like Some FC Basel With That Swiss Cheese Defence?:

I woke up this morning eager as a beaver and highly anticipating the event as the day had finally come.  No I am not talking about our big match with FC Basel.  Nope, I’m talking about the release date in North America for my favorite addiction, FI...

All Time Best XI Series: Right Midfield / Right Wing

I must say that when I was asked if I would like to write an article whereby I get to select Manchester United’s top ten all time right sided midfielders, I jumped at the opportunity with great pleasure and enthusiasm. As a historically powerful jugg...

Chelsea Becomes Latest Victim of United’s ‘Pitchkrieg’

Well, it seemed like another day ‘out back of wood shed’ with Chelsea being the latest victim fed to the wood chipper. Sounds better than another day in the office or walk in the park I think.  Manchester United took care of business and d...

Deja vu from the Estadio da Luz

Haven’t we seen this before?  I knew it wouldn’t last. I mean Fergie could never let things just be. It was asking too much for us to carry our youth movement, scintillating pace and form over the Channel and into the continent and expect a simil...

United Lay the Smackdown on Bolton

Well all I can say is this is really a fun start to the season. It may be very unrealistic to expect this young Manchester United team to maintain this kind of torrid scoring pace and incredible form for an entire season but we can dream can’t we? To...

All Time Best XI Series: Strikers

Well I hope everyone enjoyed my first foray at top tens with my list of United’s all time best center forwards. Now I have been granted the privilege of offering you my take at the top ten strikers to have played for our illustrious Red Devils.  Le...
