Footie fans should earmark the upcoming Manchester United – Arsenal clash because Sir Alex Ferguson has declared that it is their “biggest game of the season.”

While the Red Devils secured a finals slot in the Carling Cup last Wednesday against Manchester City, back at the PRemier League, Chelsea was able to wrest the top position from the Reds and with still another match slated. This means that Manchester United sees the Arsenal clash as a must-win at this point. Especially since Sir Alex sees Arsenal as a big obstacle in getting a record fourth consecutive title.

A win is important since with two matches, Chelsea could potentially get four points ahead of the Red Devils, and Sir Alex doesn’t want to play catch up with a relatively big margin. And with Arsenal potentially in the running as well, they will do all they can to thwart ManU — the ingredients of an epic battle.

If there’s still any doubt that Wayne Rooney can ably fill the big shoes left by Cristiano Ronaldo, it was erased with the stunning 4 – 0 routing of Manchester United against Hull. Rooney scored all four goals against Hull and this has resulted in the Red Devils speeding up the ranking tables and becoming the top team in the Premiership League.

Rooney scored the first goal a mere seven minutes into the game, with a hit on a rebound after Paul Scholes’ long range shot was saved. He would then explode with three goals that he would fire off within the span of less than ten minutes late in the game. The three goals, which came in at the 83rd, 86th and 90th minutes were astonishing and brought the Manchester United faithful to its feet. Rooney’s four goals in the game, his first ever, brings his season total to 20 goals. Rooney’s consistency has brought the Red Devils two points clear at the top of the Premiership League table.

Hopefully, Rooney’s amazing performance this season and the Red Devils enjoying the top spot will be enough to ease the tension in Old Trafford because of the debts the team is suffering from — to the tune of 700 million pounds at present.

So what we got today.Hammers are up and we are facing with full strength.There has been few stories running short around United but that keeps us unaffected.The tales of David Beckham are spinning back and lots of new stories are showing positive sides of Ferguson being interested with him.Though for now he stays out of our team and we head to Upton Park.

Liverpool playing two games ahead of United are at 54 points and leading the the table.However that keeps us unaffected with our standings.Winning last six games in a row and scoring 14 points in our last 6 away games there’s no reason that we should drop points.Facing Chelsea and Liverpool this is more like a pie for United.

Rooney will be hopefully at bench.Fergie won’t be going any easy for dropping points here so you cannot see any suprises.He will stick with 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 for time being.Hammers are without their stars D.Aston and K.Dyer that reduced our pressure.

Match starts at 1600 GMT and i hope you are going to watch this game.

PS:- Our Duos,Alex Ferguson and N.Vidic bagged both Manager and Player of the month award.

Just two days back on 6th of Feb,United farewelled there great heroes who died in Munich crash.

Perhaps now it can be seen as to why the United Reds have been branded one of the most talented and sophisticated lineups assembled to compete in the various European leagues. Most of the players have returned to their mother teams to get a crack at the Euro 2008 qualifiers and a lot of them have come from the United Reds lineup.

Among the names to be heard include that of Wes Brown, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Alan Smith are among the top names being mentioned. A fifth player, Wayne Rooney was supposed to be included but is serving suspension.

Their next opponent is Brazil. While Brazil is not expected to be a pushover, the chemistry and alliance of these players who have been playing together under the United Reds is an advantage on its own. Once they take the field at Wembley Stadium, expect the games to rock along with the fans following them intently as the game kicks off.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been reportedly tapped by his country Norway to compete in the coming Euro 2008 qualifiers this coming June. Solskjaer compiled a total of 11 goals, serving notice why he is among the best strikers of the United Reds in the game and an asset that can truly help in Norway’s cause.

This time around, Solskjaer will make sure he does not miss the bus to Norway for the qualifiers. He had previously missed the other tournaments due to various injuries that had made him unable to compete and maintain his effectiveness. But at the way things look at the moment, everything seems to be a go and Solskjaer seems hell bent to make up for the times he was unable to contribute to his country’s cause.

With his inclusion in the Norway lineup, this is expected to boost the moral of the team. He is known to average at least 1 goal in his three international appearances.
