A lonely goal from Peter Crouch gave Stoke City their first victory of the season as Stoke City received Newcastle United at the Britannia Stadium and Crouch’s goal secured all 3 points for his team. This defeat however, puts on more pressure to Alan Pardew as his future is at risk after sustaining yet another loss in the Premier League.
Newcastle United have not won a single match in the English League and the owner of the club, Mike Ashley could be thinking about sacking Alan Pardew from his managerial role in the team.
After looking closer to securing a first-team place at Manchester United, it looks as if Danish goalkeeper Andres Lindegaard is set for a move away from the club. Lindegaard emerged as a surprise candidate for the first time spot at United. This was largely down to the poor form of David de Gea at the start of his United career. After arriving to Old Trafford for £ 18 million, the former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper struggled to settle in the Premier League. Lindegaard, however, proved a stable goalkeeper in the matches in which Sir Alex Ferguson depended upon him.
Anton Ferdinand has played down the reports of him joining the Thai club Police United.
Anton’s services had been secured by the Turkish Super Lig side, Antalyaspor, last summer, but, the defender didn’t play that many matches there. He just featured thrice in the season and his team ended up getting relegated to the second division.
Thereafter, the speculations started about Anton’s possible exit from Turkey and recently, the news came through that he agreed terms with Police United which plays in the top tier of Thai Football.

Manchester United appointed Ryan Giggs as the interim manager until the end of the season, while it has been heavily speculated that the 41 year old could be handed the permanent role if he impresses in the four matches of the season. Giggs has been one of the celebrated players at Old Trafford in the last two decades. He also is the only player to have scored in every Premier league season up until now. He has been announced as the interim manager after the club parted company with David Moyes following a very poor season.

Anders lindegaard has risked the fury of Alex Ferguson by missing the team bus. Staff at United’s London hotel, The Landmark, had scheduled post-match drinks and ‘chill-out’ rooms for the players following their 3-1 defeat to Barcelona on Saturday night.
The muted party, attended by around 300 people, went on into the early hours but United’s squad were up and ready to leave the Marylebone Road hotel at noon on Sunday.
Instead of waiting for the Danish goalkeeper, an unimpressed Sir Alex Ferguson told the bus to leave so they could catch their scheduled return to Manchester at 1pm.

Rafael’s knee problem, picked up against Chelsea on Wednesday, is not as bad as first feared, but he will still be missing this weekend.

Damien Duff is struggling with an Achilles problem and may be forced to sit out Fulham’s trip to Old Trafford.
Anders Lindegaard has said that he is looking to do well in Manchester United colours. The FA Cup fifth-round tie at Old Trafford should have been a game to remember for the keeper as he made his first appearance in front of the Stretford End following his January move to the Reds from Norwegian side Aalesunds.
Instead, the 26-year-old walked off the pitch a relieved man as the Blue Square Bet Premier side almost pulled off what would have been the shock of the century.
“This wasn’t good enough,” Anders Lindegaard said. “We can’t be proud of what we did out there.
Manchester United new-boy Anders Lindegaard has got advice from ex-United keeper Roy Carroll.It is quite possible Anders Lindegaard would never have ended up at United had Carroll not arrived in Denmark.
His first-team place blocked, Lindegaard moved to Norway, producing a series of stellar performances for Aalesunds that secured him a £3.5million move to Old Trafford.
And, having remained in contact with Carroll, the Northern Ireland international proved to be an invaluable source of advice ahead of his dream move.
“It is an ironic situation I suppose,” reflected Lindegaard.
