This blog is not dead. I’ve been out of town during the weekend, and have had some urgent matters to attend to. Apologies to everyone for not covering the testimonial of a true United legend.
Regular service will resume either later in the day or tomorrow.
Until then feel free to discuss away as the lads take on Peterborough later today. Sorry for the inconvenience (?) and thanks for understanding.

Apologies for the extended period of quiet from my side (note, please, that I am not RR, who has done an admirable job of keeping the site going and everyone interested during what has the most boring, repetitive, inconclusive and tedious close season in living memory). When I say that the cricket has been far more interesting than anything to do with football recently, I think I have said all.
In the continuing absence of any concrete developments from the summer, I want to look back on our staggeringly successful last season and draw out some of the reasons why we were so damn good. These apply both to why we’ve gone from being written off in the summer of ‘06 to the best team in Europe, and also what we did even better in 07/08 to achieve such heights. Then I’m going to darken the tone slightly by picking up three things which could scupper our chances.
