Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has described his time at Old Trafford as like ‘living a dream’. For the Dutchman, goalscoring wasn’t just a habit it was a necessity. Van Nistelrooy struck 150 goals in five seasons for United making him the club’s 11. 8220;It was a fantastic five years,” he told Inside United.

Football Twenty Four Seven - My take on all things Football. Friday, 8 June 2012. Dimitris Salpingidis changed the game for Greece. I’ve well and truly been taken down by European Championship fever. Maybe it’s because I’ve been starved of football for two weeks. Suddenly questions like, ‘Will Polish striker Robert Lewandowski justify being linked to Manchester United? Perhaps the power of the Euros is best summed up by the fact that Dimitris Salpingidis is now a household name. Before the match the ...

While Paul Scholes may have turned down Fabio Capello’s last ditch attempt to get the Manchester United wizard to come out of international retirement ahead of the World Cup some of the games top names have not even had the satisfaction of even being asked. However there appears to be some glaring omissions…. 2006 runners-up France will be heading south without Karim Benzema. At home. The former Manchester United and...

Football Twenty Four Seven - My take on all things Football. Tuesday, 13 April 2010. Britain has never been renowned for consistently exporting players around the world. In fact ever since Ian Rush allegedly described his struggles at Juventus in the late 1980s as ‘like living in a foreign country’ overseas clubs have steered well clear of British talent – until now. 8220;I just fancied a change,” says ex-Chelsea youngster Sam Tillen, now in his third year with Icelandic side Fram Reykjavik.

Football Twenty Four Seven - My take on all things Football. Friday, 20 January 2012. Patience is a virtue. It’s a sad state of affairs when a youngster with just three first team games to his name won’t sign a contract for anything less than a reported £30k a week. Morrison denies making such -. To use Ferguson’s own words - ‘unrealistic’ claims insisting, via his private Twitter account, that any offer, let alone one for 30k a week, is yet to be forthcoming. Despite his lack of first team football Red ...

Football Twenty Four Seven - My take on all things Football. Sunday, 5 February 2012. Fast-forward to Saturday 1 September 2012. Having failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League the previous season, the transfer window has slammed shut with Arsenal’s captain and talisman Robin Van Persie hot footing it to Barcelona, after a drawn out transfer saga that has lasted much of the summer, leaving the Gunners with little or no time to sign a replacement. Add Wilshere and Oxlade-Chamberlain to an already s...
