Manchester United at Wolves – Too Easy For League Leaders
Wolves haven’t won at home since December 4, so there wasn’t much hope the bottom ranked team in the Premier League would actually stop Manchester United’s stride towards their fifth league title in six years. Still, a 0-5 home defeat as Ronald Zubar picked up two yellow cards in 11 minutes while Javier Hernandez broke his league scoring drought with a brace. And to think United lost 2-1 on their last visit to the Molineux.

Alex Ferguson & Manchester United Doing it Again
Alex Ferguson always talks about hitting the stride around late February, pulling into March, April and May in full force. You can drop point earlier on, but it’s important to be at your best in the months that matter. Manchester United, beating WBA 2-0 and climbing to the top of the Premier League at the expense of Manchester City, are doing exactly that.

Embarrassing Home Loss for Manchester United Who Simply Didn’t Care
When Patrice Evra spoke about feeling embarassed about playing in the Europa League, it was time to put your money on Bilbao. Manchester United care nothing for minor titles. Alex Ferguson isn’t Jose Mourinho, telling people his first year with Real was a great success because he won the League Cup. The Champions League and the Premier League are the only things that matter.

Ashley Young Out of Nowhere (Tottenham vs Manchester United)
Ashley Young scored only two goals this season, both in the same match, in what would become the historic 8-2 win over Arsenal. Months later, and another London opponent brought the best out of him, as Young scored twice in Manchester United’s 3-1 win over Tottenham, keeping them two points behind the league leaders.

Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra Saga Long From Over
I’m a sucker for feuds, long going ones between players. If both Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra stay put for at least a couple of more seasons at Liverpool and Manchester United, we’ll be getting plenty of more fireworks in the upcoming United and Liverpool matches, who were never exactly a calm fixture anyway.

Rooney Comes Out as Big Winner For United
Luis Suarez scored his goal, but didn’t shake hands with Patrice Evra prior to the match which worsened the already tense and aggressive atmosphere at Old Trafford, and more importantly, didn’t win. Wayne Rooney scored twice within three minutes and came out as the big winner in the Manchester United vs Liverpool encounter thanks to his cool head and awareness.

Patrick Vieira Presents the Anti Manchester City Conspiracy Theory
Manchester City lead the Premier League by two points, despite at certain points during the season clearly showing they are the top side in England, and not just in their bank account but by quality of football, right, even better then the never ending Manchester United. According to Patrick Vieira, a possible conspiracy to stop them from winning the title could eventually derail Roberto Mancini and his title aspirations.

Arsenal vs Manchester United – No Revenge For Wenger
Antonio Valencia was Manchester United’s man once again, as his return to his usual position on the wing gave Alex Ferguson another win and denied the revenge Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have been dreaming of since very early on in the season, as Valencia scored the first and set up Welbeck’s second, besting Robin van Persie’s goal in a 2-1 at the Emirates.

Bad Refereeing Can’t Ruin Fantastic Manchester Derby
One year ago, when Kenny Dalglish made his return at the manager position with Liverpool, he saw Steven Gerrard sent off because of a dive which got Howard Webb to use his highly unstable sense of judgement and send Gerrard off. Manchester United enjoyed Chris Foy’s terrible decision making to help them beat Manchester City 3-2 in the FA Cup.

No Need to Panic for Manchester United
They wait for Alex Ferguson’s fall every year, and despite some seasons without the title going to Manchester United, that fall doesn’t happen. Ferguson won’t let it happen. A stronger squad, a weaker squad, it doesn’t matter. Two straight losses, including a 3-0 crushing blow against Newcastle, won’t change that.
