Sorry for the lack of effort on the site recently. A new job has meant that I’ve had little or no time to spend on United. They seem to have managed all right without my input…
Anyway, JW has kindly stepped into the breach and come up with a set of predictions for the remaining fixtures. [...]

Well… it could have been worse
Posted in barcelona, champions league, roma on Mar 15th, 2008
So we know now it’s Roma… again. There’s part of me that worries in these circumstances that giving the same opponent enough opportunities to beat you will eventually end in tears but United should have the wherewithal to beat Roma yet again.

I’d argue that United lost the least [...]

Well that was an odd experience. Managed to catch United’s game against Lyon last night at the One Tun pub in Goodge Street, which seems to be a fairly safe bet if you want to see a Manchester United game in the centre of London (even when the Gooners are also live on TV). Great [...]
