Manchester United prevent Liverpool winning the treble at Wembley in May 1977

Bryan Robson takes United through against Maradona’s Barcelona in one of the greatest European nights Old Trafford has ever seen.

A good week for Reds this week as not only does our stand-in skipper take us three points clear with eight games to play and UEFA keep us away from all the other English clubs in the Champions League draw, but just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, your favourite Manchester United t-shirts site brings you nine brand new designs.

With a nod to the history and tradition of United, we’ve brought you some designs celebrating what it means to be a Red. Our UNITED t-shirt is crammed full of the names and things that we could think of that has best summed-up Manchester United. From Billy Meridith and Charlie Roberts to Eric Cantona and Paul Scholes, it’s all there.

In fact, the entire list runs to nearly 100 entries: Eric Cantona, Arthur Albiston, Bryan Robson, Ryan Giggs, Joe Jordan, The Forecourt, Red Army, Ralph Milne, Steve Bruce, Any Spares?, Sammy McIlroy, Jimmy Greenhoff, Billy Meredith, Arnold Mühren, Stuart Pearson, Johnny Carey, B.F.R., Scousebusters, Eddie Colman, Gary Pallister, 26/05/1999, William Prunier, Tommy Taylor, Dennis Viollet, Charlie Roberts, K Stand, Gordon Hill, Busby Babes, Jim Holton, Tony Dunne, Sir Alex Ferguson, Paul McGrath, Norman Whiteside, Old Trafford, Tommy Docherty, David Beckham, Walking Down The Warwick Road, Peter Schmeichel, Bill Foulkes, Mary Brown, J Stand, Paddy Crerand, Rotterdam 91, Gary Neville, Stretford End, Denis Irwin, Les Sealey, Brian Kidd, Bobby Charlton, Scoreboard Paddock, Nobby Stiles, 29/05/1968, Jimmy Murphy, Teddy Sheringham, Bank Street, 06/02/1958, Sir Matt Busby, Denis Law, Remi Moses, Harry Gregg, Roy Keane, Steve Coppell, Lou Macari, Roger Byrne, United Road, Paul Scholes, Token Sheets, Gordon McQueen, Mark Hughes, Newton Heath, Andrei Kanchelskis, Duncan Edwards, Charlie Mitten, 21/05/1977, George Best, Martin Buchan, ICJ, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Brian McClair, Jaap Stam, Jesper Olsen, Louis Rocca, They Always Score. Manchester United Opus eat your heart out!

Along a similar theme, we’ve also released t-shirts to celebrate the Treble, The Stretford End, George Best, Nobby Stiles and Eric Cantona. Three of the most loved and most charismatic players ever to have donned the red shirt, the spiritual home of Manchester United’s support and the greatest season of success ever in the history of our great club.

We’ve also made a couple of new t-shirts about our enemies. One for those dirty Yorkshire bastards, the other for those dirty Scouse bastards. Finally, there is also a new design for our England centre-back. Some hate him, it’s true, but we thought the design was too good to go to waste.

Enjoy the last dozen or so games of the season.

Having recovered just about recovered from the derby capitulation (and the sickening fawning from the media over the fact that city managed not to disgrace themselves and the club that they profess to love for a whole 60 seconds) we emerged from our self-imposed sulk just in time to enjoy last Saturday’s hammering of our closest domestic rivals.

In fact, we’ve got so giddy now that we’re offering massive discounts on a huge number of stock items. You can buy dozens of our Unofficial Manchester United t-shirts for under ten bob. That’s a saving of up to 44% on normal prices. Simply click this link to view all our sale items. You can even filter our sale stuff by size to find out exactly what we have to fit you.

Speaking of last Saturday’s victory, we know that he is not exactly a well-kept secret any more, but we just feel that we need to acknowledge that despite all the talk of Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo, we have something of a midfield dynamo in the making in the quite considerably impressive shape of our dreadlocked Brazilian. In fact,we have also been asked by several people to do our popular “Anderson is my Homeboy” t-shirt design in more colours. Well, don’t say that we never listen to you; you can now buy the design in all our t-shirt colours including a special edition Brazilian green and yellow design.

We’re bringing this site kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. It’s a painful process, but one that is going to start with a regular blog featuring articles and opinions on all things Red coloured.

Please bear with us whilst we find our feet with this newfangled technology. In the meantime, we’d like to present you with this YouTube video showing a motley collection of United reprobates travelling to in la Coruna to watch Deportivo vs Manchester United in 2003.
