Says It All

United's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded all our Munich dead,
Before their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their heart's blood dyed it's every fold.

Then raise United's banner high,
Beneath it's shade we'll live and die,
So keep the faith and never fear,
We'll keep the Red Flag flying here.

We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll keep the Red flag flying high,
'Cos Man United will never die.

Take A Reality Check...

the lot of you! Liverpool and Arsenal supporters. We lost - so what! At least our trophy cabinet needs opened this season - yours doesn't! A truely poor performance in Rome saw United lose out on their bid for back to back European Cups. Barcelona won the game 2-0 thanks to goals from Eto'o and Messi. United didn't turn up. A bad day for the lads. Just like a boxer who took a right hook on the chin - they never recovered after the early goal. I can live with it - World Club Champions, Carling Cup Winners and the most important for me, Barclays Premier League Champions - yes, the trophy cabinet is well worth looking at once again for United fans. Take a well earned break lads and come back even hungrier in August once again. Barcelona 2-0 United.

League Campaign Over Again

The final matchday in the Barclays Premier League saw United reserves (including Nani) sign off in style with a 1-0 win over Hull City. There was much being made of Survival Sunday and who would go down and who would stay up. All in all none of the four teams in the scrap won so all positions remained the same. West Brom, Middlesbrough and Newcastle United all will enjoy life in the Championship next season. Hull 0-1 United.

Manchester United Crowned Champions Again

Manchester United wrapped up a record-equalling 18th league title on Saturday. A goalless draw against Arsenal was all Sir Alex’s men needed to claim their third league title in a row, which puts them level with the Dippers in terms of titles won. A fairly low key game saw United get the point they needed and the celebrations were a joy to behold in the Theatre of Dreams. Well done to the lads, even though these last few months a few more grey hairs have appeared watched the Red Devils. United 0-0 Arsenal.

Credit To Wigan

A tough tough game last night. Wigan really played well (but I wonder why they can't do this every week!). Anyway, Carlos came on again and made a dramatic difference to United. Anderson just did not do enough in midfield. He did't really do a lot wrong but he just did nothing exceptional either. Scholsey has had better games also. Too many times Wigan were able to walk through the middle. Our defense had no cover from the centre of the park. Carrick did play well and made a fantastic saving tackle on the edge of our box mid-way through the second half. Then of course, he scored the winner with a superb strike. Ronaldo did not have his shooting boots on and Rooney also missed two gilt edge chances. I am beginning to wonder is the season really starting to take its toll on a few. Just three more games lads and then you can have a few weeks off. Wigan 1-2 United.

See A Penny

I seen a penny this morning on the footpath and I did pick it up. Not because I feel it will change my finances dramatically but I do believe it will bring me luck. I used to wonder how pennies do appear on the footpath until I seen some schoolboys throwing ten pence pieces at the Post Office sign outside Supervalu on the High Street. Money really has no value anymore!

United Win Derby At A Canter

United won the Manchester Derby today by two goals from Ronaldo and Tevez. A tidy and professional performance to jump ahead of the Dippers again. Fletch got MOTM with a superb energetic display but the lads were all good. Berba, Tevez, Vidic, Park and Giggs all performed well. Wigan on Wednesday - bring it on! United 2-0 City.

Back In The Final

Well done to the lads last night. Great start meant the game was dead for Arsenal early on. Park and Ronnie had two in the net before 15 minutes had passed. The sour note was the sending off of Darren Fletcher and he will miss the final which he undoubtably would have started if he had remained fit. Anyway another final to savour on May 27th. Arsenal 1-3 United (1-4 Agg).

R-P-S Final Result

Sandy made mincemeat of Lily in the final over the marathon of 20 throws. After five, the game was locked at 2-2. After ten, Sandy was 5-2 ahead. After fifteen, Sandy had increased her lead to 7-2, eventually running out by 11-2. Quite a performance. Congratulations and well done to Sandy who improved immensely throughout the competition.

United Ease Past Boro

A lunchtime kick-off at the Riverside - United were at ease in beating Middlesbrough and edging closer to the end of the league campaign. Goals from Giggsy and Park sealed the win. Half the team rested thinking of the second leg of CL on Tuesday night. Boro 0-2 United.

R-P-S Semi Final Results

Two cracking games in the semi finals.
First up Lily played Colin. A tight game over the fifteen throws saw Colin leading 3-2 after 7. Four draws followed and Lily went into overdrive winning three out of the last four to win the game 5-3.
The other semi was a nailbiter. Merv and Sandy were locked at 2-2 after 7. Sandy managed to take three out of the next four to lead by two with two throws left. Merv drew on all of his experience to win the last two throws to take the game to sudden death. First throw: PapervPaper / Second throw: PapervRock and Sandy takes the game.
Sandy plays Lily in the Grand Final.
