5 minutes of injury time and Man Utd lose!

October 25th, 2009

Yep hard to believe Liverpool 2-0 Man Utd and Liverpool score in the 5 mins of extra time. Did the ref get mixed up???? A great win in the Premier League game of the season. The build up was all about Liverpool’s poor run of form, Liverpool’s title race being over if the game is lost and Man Utd fans spoiling the game with Beachballs.

Trivia question: Why are tea and coffee not sold at Anfield in the stand above the Man Utd fans, for this fixture only? Answers via comments please, we will reveal the answer there later in the week….

Furguson - The cover up

October 7th, 2009

Here is a quote from The Sun website:

The union for referees has demanded the FA get tough with the Manchester United boss for accusing Alan Wiley of being unfit. Ferguson accused Wiley of being unfit to referee United’s clash with Sunderland at Old Trafford last Saturday.

It is a clear smoke screen to divert attention from Wiley being in Fergies pocket, after Wiley played enough extra time for Man Utd to score in injury time (again). Or was Fergie’s upset because the idea was enough extra time should have been played to score 2 goals and thus a Man Utd win??? If Fergie is thrown out of football as a consequence of this (unlikely but possible, apparently) it will be so he can appeal against it - win - and take the cash as a pension pot :( .

Another injury time goal and Mau Utd get a point

October 4th, 2009

Sunderland the victims of an Old Trafford injury time goal this time, to make the final score 2-2. It was pleasing to see Man Utd not win but it is funny (not) to see that the ref was Alan Wiley.

You’ll always walk alone

September 27th, 2009

I’ve just bought a friend of mine a Liverpool t-shirt like the one in the picture. It got me thinking that if Man Utd fans don’t like liverpool, then they won’t agree with the priciple of “You’ll never walk alone”. Therefore Man Utd fans by default must have a desire to walk alone!Why not get one of these soccer shirts?

Extra time scandal

September 22nd, 2009

As sourced from The Guardian. The link presents the evidence that Man Utd get more injury time when they are loosing compared to when there are drawing or winning. :(

The Guardian has looked at all of United’s league matches at Old Trafford since the start of the 2006-07 season and discovered that, on average, there has been over a minute extra added by referees when United do not have the lead after 90 minutes, compared to when they are in front.

More information following the Man City Match

September 21st, 2009

OK Man Utd 4 - 3 Man City and a late late goal…. covered elsewhere on this blog. However, while Craig Bellamy is in the headlines for slapping a fan who is  ”charged with going onto a playing area without lawful authority or excuse”, Gary Neville is branded a lunatic for his celebrations in front of the Man City fans. A very similar scenario which led to Emmanuel Adebayor missing the derby match for his celebtation of a goal in front of opposition fans (Arsenal). Also and very interestingly, we have unconfirmed stories from a Man City fan in the ground that Furguson hugged Alan Wiley in celebration of the “injury time” winner. We would love to hear from anyone who saw this or provide a link to photos / videos etc.

All the above, if confirmed (in the case of the later point), points to corruption and biased press / media, something we a Man Utd have been aware of, but proof is something else…… Comments please.

Please post links to this article on other sites you may visit and hopefully more information will come to light, the truth is out there………

Play until you win in the Manchester derby

September 20th, 2009

Man Utd 4-3 Man City with the winning goal scored in the 6th minute of added time. Even ex red and City Manager Mark Hughes was enraged and after all he knows the play til you win rules and on this occasion those rules must have been exceeded :( .

For the record:

Referee: Martin Atkinson, Fourth official: Alan Wiley

Why the Manchester Derby is Unique

September 20th, 2009

When the Manchester derby between United and City is played at Old Trafford there is something unique about this occasion! It is that the car park is full of home supporter coaches and there are none from the “away” team :) .

Put off Nike because they sponsor Man Utd Shirts?

September 8th, 2009

We recently posted an article putting forward a case for Nike Shirt advertisingto work against Man Utd. Alternatively, the big tick splashed across the devil’s shirts on every high street and hamlet in the country and all world destinations :( may put you off Nike products. So if you are in the market for soccer shoes or trainers then we at Hate Man Utd recommend Adidas Samba Millenium. Comfortable and stylish in our opinion and reminiscent of “Adidas Kick” and an era before Sky TV promote Man Utd to the world.

Going to Old Trafford?

September 2nd, 2009

No this isn’t an article for all you plastic Mancs who live in Slough or some other far flung part of the Universe and think you are a Man Utd fan! It is for the hard core traveling fans who are lucky enough to get a ticket for the away section, which is a nightmare based on Manchester United’s very poor ticket allocation. Of all the available soccer apparel we recommend the new Umbro England drill top.

Whilst it looks cool it keeps you warm and if you wish to travel to Old Trafford incognito it is ideal. In addition it is sticking 2 fingers up at the group of Man Utd fans that believe Man Utd are greater than England. That topic may well be the subject of a future post.
