Manchester City Stop The Stretford End Clock: Do Manchester United Fans Care?
AND so it came to pass that 35 years after last winning a tropy, it only took a couple of hundred million pounds to win Manchester City another one. Peter Swales, Francis Lee, John Wardle and Thaksin Shinawatra (all City chairman in the barren years) now know where they went wrong.

Arsenal Beat Manchester United In Photos: Ferguson Does The Van Cutsem
IS Arsenal’s Robin Van Persie any relation to Grace Van Cutsem, she of the balcony anti-kiss shot? Manchester United’s manager saw Aaron Ramsay’s goal slide in to dent his side’s Premier League challenge, yet still found time to do the Van Cutsem. Do they kiss and hug much in public at Arsenal? No. It’s not Chelsea, for Christ’s sake, where the cuddle and snog has become the done thing among the hard men…

The Genius Of Wayne Rooney: Manchester United’s Champions League Legend Undoes Chelsea (Photos)
WAYNE Rooney: you know all about his faults. We know that he might not be true to his wife, swears, spits and is not an international male model. What you might have overlooked is that he is a genius.
A season marked by allegations of paid-for sex with Jennifer Thompson and a contract dispute is also a season marked by a brilliant goal in the Manchester United derby match with Manchester City, the ability to outplay 95% of any opposing team on an average day and the scorer of a crucial goal in the white heat of a Champions’ League quarter final against Chelsea.

Manchester United Win The Premier League Against Bolton As Arsenal Finally Score: Photos
DID Manchester United’s graceful Dimitar Berbatov just win the Premier League for Manchester United with his late goal against Bolton? Or did Arsenal – who will win the title if they win all their remaining games – rediscover the fight to come back to draw 2-2 at West Brom? And – whisper this – can Chelsea come back to win their games in hand and defend their title?
Daniela Martins: Me and Nani’s Money – A Manchester United Primark Special
DANIELA Martins is WAG to Manchester United’s Nani. She is the subject of a NoTW piece trailed: “I still buy my clothes from Primark!”.
“When I go shopping at Tesco I look for bargains. Nani loves Müller Crunch Corners and I get them when they’re on special offer. You can get six in a deal for £2.96. I’d never buy just four because you can’t save money that way.
“And Nani loves Krispy Kreme doughnuts so I buy the big box because we save doing that.”
Nothing says thrift like spending more.
“Don’t get me wrong, I love designer gear, shoes by Christian Louboutin and Prada handbags, but I know how to compromise.”
Although if Prada did yoghurts, Daniela might find cause to review her shopping habits:
Nani and Daniela are not your usual celebrity couple. Even when the pair do buy top-label stuff they get a twinge of shame.

Manchester United’s Dimitar Berbatov Teaches Mourinho A Lesson: Photos
MANCHESTER United’s Dimitar Berbatov scored five of his side’s seven goals against Blackburn this afternoon. He did so with style, grace and panache. Of course, you only need one goal to win a match – Joe Mourinho, that less suave George Graham taught that). Maybe Manchester United could lend a couple of goals to Man City and Liverpool?

In Photos: No Wayne Rooney As Sexy Everton Draw 3-3 With Manchester United
NO Wayne Rooney as Manchester Untied visited Everton. Where was he? Who can say? We’d ask his wife, but Coleen might not know. What we do know is that without him United were 3-1 up as the game went into injury time.
Wayne’s women – alleged – in NSFW photos
It was the perfect moment for a small cameo from Rooney and the game is won. But it is not to be as the Toffees fire two to make the score 3-3. Thrilling stuff at Goodison Park. And Rooney costs his side 2 points.
The football saying tells us that scoring a goal is better than sex. Rooney might be inclined to agree…
Manchester United Training Day In Photos And Wayne Rooney’s Hot Dogs
BEFORE those pictures Manchester United’s open training session on the Old Trafford pitch (a chance to get the concession stand workers up to speed), news via the Sun that Wayne Rooney has invested £10,000 on underfloor heating – “in kennels for his pampered dogs.” Wayne’s Bichon Frisés Daisy and Bella and Fizz and Coleen’s French mastiff (or the other way around) are available for panto, prostitutes and hospital visits. Now for those photos – and look out for Paul Scholes’ tan lines…

TO Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, Dublin,to see Paul McGrath watch the game and Manchester United thrash an Airtricity Select XI 7-1. Not too long ago Wayne Rooney was smoking a fag and urinating against a wall. Now he looked fit and hungry and ready to play against Chelsea in Sunday’s Community Shield.
We also saw new signing Hernandez – who obligingly goes under the Abba-esque terrace chant-waiting to-happen nickname Chicharito. He scored. There is hope for tomorrow.

Premier League In Pictures: Manchester City Fans Yank Man United’s Chain
MANCHESTER United now have a derby match that further reduces Liverpool in stature. They have Manchester City. They have Manchester City to beat in the dying embers of the match. We took our camera to the city of Manchester Stadium and spotted the fans. And Paul Scholes the goals. On a brighter note, City have tons of cash and can buy a new team next season. The Premier League work like this: the team with the most money wins. Man City to win it next season. Unless Chelsea spend more money than them. Or Liverpool do… Footy!
Manchester United Lose To Bayern Munich And English Football Fans Rejoice: Pictures
MANCHESTER United lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. In 1999, when last the teams played in the biggest club competition in European football, Bayern were winning as the game moved into its death throes. Your writer was in a bar in Madrid with a few drunk United fans, a few more Spanish football hacks and Mario Basler. Not that “Super Mario” was there in person. But he was there in spirit, when the German player as taken off before the final whistle to milk the applause for his winning goal. I laughed, Ha! United were losing. Ha! Ha! Ha!

MANCHESTER City manager Roberto Mancini geed up his team for the match against Manchester United by evoking the words of Liam and Noel Gallagher: “‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’! It’s a fantastic Oasis song. That is the message. It’s important that we stay calm.” Anorak got to thinking what other celebrity fans can inspire their teams?

Manchester United Remembered: Busby Babe Albert Scanlon’s Funeral
SOME THINGS transcend football club loyalty. Not many. Football fans are a dedicated lot. All of English football does not win when a club side takes the European Cup. All English football fans – besides the lucky few who back the winners – are upset. Goes the mantra: Anyone but them. But some things unite. The deaths of Manchester United footballers in the Munich air crash is one of those things. Busby Babe Albert Scanlon has been buried. A sad day. A day to remember:
