I think it doesn’t look very relevant of writing about Steve on this blog but this one crossed my limits and couldn’t hold on to write this one.Continue reading if you dont like Steve . Few days back on Nov 15 ,England played against Austria at Vienna.The match as expected was won by England but this lead to few stumbles for England’s coach.Steve intially thought that he would win this one with far more goals and oppurtunities which will in case boost morale for Englishmen.So without much of thoughts and talks he makes full strength team against the team for which Eng 21 wont have bother to play.But still he continues and what all feared happens.A damn bad Injury!..

After Saturday’s amazing second half display, SAF must be a happy man. Not only because of our 6 consecutive victories in the League, or the 8 consecutive clean sheets victories UCL games included, but most of all because of the international break.
A much needed break for ManU.
ManU has been one of the biggest victims in this season start when it comes to injuries, with almost a complete squad sidelined and this week could be the first time Alex actually IS happy because of an international break. Most of the time this means that OT is almost empty and between 15 and 20 players leave Manchester to train with and play for their national team, but this time things are different.
This time many players won’t play in their national kit, but will enjoy the almost two weeks to recover from injury and return entirely fit for the clash with Aston Villa on Saturday 20th October.

For Sir Alex Ferguson, obtaining the Champions League Cup is the next stop for the United Reds. While they fell short due to injuries to a couple of their players, it is obvious that the team is headed in that direction and only time will tell. After talks of impending player transfers coming their way and leaving enough time for the healing period to its key players, it will be all systems go in the coming months as the United Reds will be once again in harness.
Â
The Reds have proven to be a team to reckon with despite the various obstacles that the team has faced. Getting that far with what they have is an accomplishment that Ferguson has readily appreciated and lauded. One can just think of what would become of the Reds team once all players are up and about. A scary thought for their opponents and a wondrous one for Ferguson and company.

In the same way that Chelsea experienced the same ovation for their brave effort in 2005, the same was now in turn given to the United Reds in their 0-0 standoff with Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge Pitch. It is a fact that the Reds are ailing and paying tribute to the heroic efforts by the left players emphasizing on team play lead by Wes Brown, there is nothing better than to receive due recognition for the efforts of the remaining players of the powerhouse club.
Defense was the name of the game between the match of the Reds and Chelsea and this was typified as both failed to score a goal for the tight defense both teams applied. Chelsea had a change to score a goal in the end game, but thanks to the combined efforts of the Reds’ players, they were able to hold off any offensive from Chelsea.
“It was a difficult game for us,” he added. “Both sides didn’t play their strongest teams, but we have come out with a respectable draw.
“It was [a strange game]. There was a few lads in from the reserves and some players played out of position. We’ve not played together all season, so to come to Chelsea we had to play well. I thought we relly stuck together.
“Chelsea put a lot of pressure on us towards the end of the game. It looked like they might nick a goal at the end, but we managed to hold on and kept on defending.” –Wes Brown: Wes praises Blues gesture

An injury time winning goal was all that was needed and Wayne Rooney became the unlikely savior, helping the United Reds buck a 2-1 lead during halftime and escape with a 3-2 victory over AC Milan at Old Trafford in the semi-finals first leg.
It was poetry in motion for Rooney as he executed a goal on a perfect assist coming from Paul Scholes. The hard earned win was evident as emphatically stated by Rooney after the game. They now carry the momentum going into the second leg next Wednesday in the Champions League decider in San Siro.
“It’s a great feeling,” he told ITV Sport. “It was a difficult match but when it got late we kept going. We knew the victory would make it a little bit easier for the away leg. And to get a goal in the last minute is a great feeling.
“It was fantastic. At 2-1 behind at half-time against a very good Milan team, we knew it would be difficult to get the win. The manager told us too keep pushing, keep going and we’ll get the goals, and we did.” –Rooney relieved by winner

Already plagued with injuries and a rough and tumble season, no other than the left soldiers of the United Reds in the person of Michael Carrick believes that United can get the job done when they meet AC Milan for a place in the Champions League Finals.
The season has not been a bright one for the United Reds and they have had to maximize their roster sans big names that have fallen to injuries. Yet despite these circumstances, United finds itself in a similar situation of proving why it has been among the favorites in this line of sport.
Reaching this far using their current lineup is no easy task and the only way to go is up. Losing one game does not make a difference but from all indications and with the common goal of the remaining Reds is concerned, there is so much to achieve and nothing to lose but prestige.

After a heartbreaking stalemate, the United Reds are obviously frustrated at the turn of events. Mark Viduka’s goal on the stroke of half-time was a killer blow for United as the Australian forward’s header consigned the Reds to a frustrating 1-1 deadlock.
Demoralizing as it may be, the United Reds cannot afford to let up. Injuries and working on limited player resources has not helped them one bit. But this should not be an excuse. The Reds are known better than this and it is obvious that they are far from done.
Leaning on rich tradition and history with regards to how the game is played, Manchester United is far from throwing in the towel. Heart and determination must be maintained and the key towards rekindling any remaining hopes of their injury plagued campaign depends entirely on them. Besides, based on the past records of the ball club, nothing comes easy so this is not a situation to which they are new to.

So the injury bug has been continuously biting the cause of the Reds but this has not stopped them from aiming high and taking on all the challenges that are coming their way. No other than Sir Alex Fergusson is feeling the pressure but rather than wilting under it, it has become very much a mission to simply regain the Premiership title. But from all angles, it looks like the United Reds are playing like wounded tigers and are aiming for something more.
With limits in players, talent and time, chances are most teams caught under the same predicament will thrive to function with all cylinders pumping. Having a slim margin of only 3 points separating them and Chelsea, one slight error will prove to be costly. This is something that the Reds are aware of and such has become their guide to try to strive for maximum perfection in playing all their remaining games.
Unless something untoward would happen or perhaps a stroke of bad luck, then from all indications, the Reds can accomplish a feat that would be worthy if the team were indeed complete. Now that would be something for the record books.

The combined efforts displayed by the severely depleted United Reds line-up justify the adage that a team game can be won without key players if they stick together. Such was the result of the Reds in their 4-1 victory over Waftord that pushed them to a seat in the FA Cup finals.
No other that Sir Alex Fergusson was there to commend the joint efforts of the ailing squad. Fergusson couldn’t ask for anything more thanks to the efforts of players Wes Brown, Gaby Heinze, Alan Smith and the outstanding plays of Wayne Rooney and hotshot Cristiano Ronaldo.
Displaying the courage and the fire of true warriors, the Reds bucked the odds of its ever growing list of injured players. It was a matter of heart and pride and this is sure to be a good momentum and motivation for the team going into the finals. Not to be forgotten as well is the overwhelming support of the United Reds fans that have been behind the back of the team despite the trying times that the team has had to weather in past weeks.
