ManUtdWeb would like to wish all of its visitors and supporters a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

It's been an excellent time for us since we launched back in the summer of 2003, and we have now grown to one of the most well-visited Manchester United sites out there. None of this would be possible without you guys that visit the site and support us with feedback and suggestions all the time.

Since we presented you with our Christmas message last year, our ratings have skyrocketed. This summer our combined story and message board hits hit just under 200,000 page views, meaning our hits from last Christmas has increased by almost 500%, making us one of the most popular sites on SportNetwork and one of the most popular United fanzines.

We couldn't have achieved this without our dedicated Message Board faithful, who are the nucleus of the site. Hopefully you aren't to stuffed with turkey to post on the Message Board over the festive season! We are, as always, also looking for your suggestions on anything new we can add to the site in 2005, so please e-mail us with your suggestions.

Here's to a prosperous 2005 for The Red Devils...

Merry Christmas from David Hobbs & Chris O'Brien
