Whilst this may well have been the sum involved Rage Online has learned that this was not why the big man will not be  [ more ]

United went down at home again tonight to a well-organised but pretty ordinary Macclesfield Town side, who won 2-0 with a goal in first half injury time. Goals from Lee Glover followed by a 48th minute header by former United triallist Kyle Lightbourne, his first for the Silkmen, received no response from a very poor  [ more ]

Why have Scott in when you have Silkmen?United play Macclesfield at home tomorrow evening desperate to recapture some sort of form and make the Kassam stadium a bit more feared than it appears to be at present.

Joe's toesX-rays taken today have revealed that Joey Beauchamp's “sore toe” is in fact a broken bone in the winger's foot. Mark Wright, who was scathing about Joey missing Saturday's game with such a paltry injury, must surely now eat humble pie and apologise to United's prodigy, as must a number of fans who joined  [ more ]

Reddy if Scotty goes?Rage Online has heard, via a semi-reliable source, that United already has a contingency plan should Andy Scott be sold.

Scott free?The latest rumours to hit cyberspace concern Andy Scott. Apparently United's front man has requested a transfer and our friends from Luton have offered £250,000 for his services.
