Harry Redknapp and The Fiver; How Can You Lose?

Two tidbits I wanted to pass on regarding the FA Cup match this weekend between United and Tottenham. Despite vehement protests, the FA has refused to take any action against Spurs manager Harry Redknapp for his declaration that he would, “go to Old Trafford with the weakest team I can possibly find.” The Fiver chimed in on this controversy, and I felt the need to pass it along.
“Undoubtedly Tottenham will be selecting a team from their first-team squad” - an FA suit responds to Harry Redknapp’s promise that he will field “the weakest team I can possibly find” in the FA Cup atManchester United this weekend. Does the FA ever actually take anything in?
Not to be seen as biased, the Fiver also took a quite hilarious shot at Ferguson and his “injury crisis”.
Once Sir Alex Ferguson has finished compiling a dossier of rival managers, referees, and FA and Premier League officials who he believes to be responsible for eight of his defenders being knackedfor Saturday’s FA Cup fourth round tie against Tottenham Hotspur Under-11s, he’ll decide whether to play Darren Fletcher or a cardboard cut-out of Denis Irwin as a makeshift right-back.
Good stuff all around… this proving the old addage, “If you can’t think of something funny to write, just steal it from a far superior English publication.”

Bolton 0 - 1 Man Utd - No Nose Bleeds…

Sorry for my ridiculous absence on here lately. The guys here at the The Offside know the reason and have been great guys, seriously. But I thought the fitting time for me to return to the Man Utd blog was now.
After a fairly poor (okay, terrible) first half performance against Bolton from the boys in red, they pulled out all the stops and…wait…What? Bad second half performance too? Are you sure? Really? Okay.

United 3 - Chelsea 0 : Match Highlights and Lots of Hyperbole

As much as I would like to comment on how amazingly beautiful this match was in every way, I spent this morning standing on a frozen pitch going through the final trials to get my coaching license. So, it was only later this afternoon when I was able to sit down with a pint in hand (this happens whenever United play regardless of the time), turn on the television, and watch a newly invigorated United side CRUSH the Gene Hackman led Blues. I would really like to say a lot more, but I will refer to Richard Jolly for a more fitting description
