He needs us as desperately as we need the old him…

Now that King Kenny’s revolution, has, um, momentarily receded, it would be easy to trigger a litany of laughs onto Liverpool’s already hefty-stacked misery. They were – as they often are – the first to gather themselves into a collective jeer-pile when a certain terminally-impotent striker pulled the same shameful stunt their once-hero did just a number of days ago.

Karma, of course, is a recurrent gnasher-bearer in football, but, following Gerrard’s past movements, they should have known. Torres, now displaced from the pseudo-religious adoration of the ever-fickle Kop, can now saddle himself next to the increasingly dull list of footballers who will lie, childishly moan, and eventually move. A new hatred will be born, as salivating Scousers erupt in indignation, but they will move on.

Owen Hargreaves

As the transfer window draws towards a close, United have only made minor moves in brining in a new back-up goalkeeper. This summer is likely to bring a fair few changes to the squad personnel at the club. We’ve invited Herzog’s Child to share his thoughts on why this is a good time for the club to move on and welcome a new era; starting with the likely departure of Owen Hargreaves…

Stretty debate: Villa performance poor or blip?

Fergie blows his top

Yolkie and I have been discussing the 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa last night in depth and we’ve both got conflicting views on the events at Old Trafford.  I generally feel that we just had a bad day at the office, even though United didn’t play that badly.  Yolkie feels that, Giggs aside, we’re missing a creative spark from midfield, whilst many first team players are simply going through the motions.  We are going to try and have at least one ‘Stretty debate’ every month, which looks at a conflict of opinion.  We encourage you to get involved, pick a side and join in the discussion!
