UNITED BANTER: When Michael Owen Almost Joined United In 1994
http://unitedbanter.blogspot.com/2011/07/when-michael-owen-almost-joined-united.html
Tuesday, July 12, 2011. When Michael Owen Almost Joined United In 1994. Recalling those days in his autobiography, Off The Record. Before the match we had the traditional meal in the stand, and then we went to Ferguson's office. I will always remember him looking me straight in the eye and asking, 'So, do you want to play for Manchester United? Do you want to be a professional footballer, son? Yeah I do.'. At the end, Steve Heighway, a youth coach at Liverpool, who had a huge influence on Owen and his pa...

UNITED BANTER: May 2011
http://unitedbanter.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 20, 2011. Less Is More: The Opportunity Cost Of Daft Signings. The ABUs keep shouting from rooftops how we're gonna crumble under the debt. Since they can't taunt us over lack of silverware, the debt issue is the new weapon that they try to use to get back at us. The sods must feel helpless and frustrated 'cause trying to banter over the fiscal management of a club rather than the on-field exploits is a wanker's task really. For GBP 0.6 Million, Steve Bruce. Alrite, so they were all highly ra...

UNITED BANTER: December 2011
http://unitedbanter.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 10, 2011. Europa League - Be Better, Not Bitter. They regularly feature in Europa League every year. Our disdain towards Europa League would only be merited if we win it. Let's look at two basic questions. What's better - winning a competition we're in and adding the only trophy that's missing from our cabinet or not winning it all just 'cause we're arrogant enough to think that it's "beyond our stature"? Would you feel thrilled at that prospect? If we had lost during the next round, w...

UNITED BANTER: Lose Games But Do Not Lose The United Way
http://unitedbanter.blogspot.com/2011/12/lose-games-but-do-not-lose-united-way.html
Friday, December 9, 2011. Lose Games But Do Not Lose The United Way. What's with this fuckin' frenzy? Get off to a blistering start by thrashing Arsenal 8-2 and our GBP 50 Million signings are world-beaters and get thrashed 6-1 by City and suddenly we are doomed? Is that The United Way? Is that The United Way? We got relegated to the Europa League 'cause we couldn't deal with Basel and then if Roy Keane thrashes our young lads, what do we do? Is that The United Way? Praying for other teams to fail, expre...

UNITED BANTER: The Almost Red Devils
http://unitedbanter.blogspot.com/2011/07/almost-red-devils.html
Wednesday, July 13, 2011. The Almost Red Devils. Let's cut to the chase - over the decades we missed out on some legendary players. At times it was bad planning, at times it was bad luck and at times the players were just darn daft. Some players were more than adequately replaced with the ones who went on to become eternal United legends. A few who slipped the net marched on to create records and add medals to their repertoire. A few days back, United Banter discussed in detail about the Gazza Saga.

UNITED BANTER: Gazza Saga - The Transfer That Never Was
http://unitedbanter.blogspot.com/2011/07/gazza-saga-transfer-that-never-was.html
Monday, July 11, 2011. Gazza Saga - The Transfer That Never Was. Paul Gascoigne and Old Trafford could have potentially been an ideal match. Gazza would have brought his sheer genius to a United squad that was in the quest of breaking the Merseyside monopoly. Grabbed by Vinnie, but Not by Fergie! Gary Lineker (L) and Alan Shearer (R). Allegedly, Marcel Desailly was supposed to sign for us before moving to Chelsea and there are maybe a few other examples like Ballack, Essien, Robben and Ronaldinho where F...

UNITED BANTER: United Are No Chasers
http://unitedbanter.blogspot.com/2011/07/united-are-no-chasers.html
Thursday, July 14, 2011. United Are No Chasers. FACT - United were outplayed by Barcelona in Rome 2009 and again in Wembley 2011. FACT - Manchester United are the Top Ranked club in Europe in UEFA Rankings in spite of the above two instances. The FACT analogy was used just to briefly remember the FSW and have a good laugh - what a knob! FACT - Rafa's a Knob! Just two days ago, there was a wonderful post. On that brilliant United Blog, The Republik of Mancunia. I still think it's 1984". The key difference...
