After a rather hectic personal week, I can not say that I am not thrilled to be back here, especially with the start of the Premier League 2009-2010 in front of us. Months of waiting have finally come to an end and starting Sunday at 13.30 we will be able to cheer up our favourite Red Devils again in the hope to win an unprecedented fourth Premier League title in a raw.

Other than last Sunday’s disastrous end to the Community Shield our pre-season has been rather psoitive with only one lost game, in Munich. Continue reading »

Tomorrow it is that far again and the new season kicks off with the Community Shield for both Manchester United and Chelsea FC.

After a successful pre-season now the fun is over and a new long and hopefully glamorous seasons awaits the Red Devils, with the kick off at 15.00 at Wembley in London.
For the second time in 3 Community Shields only we face Chelsea at the start of the season. I would gladly sign to start the Season in the same manner and there is something special about taking spot kicks against the Londoner Rent Boys. Continue reading »

After a bomb attack on the hotel Manchester United was supposed to stay in for the game against an Indonesian All Star team, ManUtd cancelled both the trip to Indonesia and game. At least eight people died in the attacks and 50 people or more were injured.
The Australian Football Assosociation had offered to organize a game against Melbourne Victory or Sydney FC but ManUtd refused to take on the offer because it would mean an additional 20 hrs of travel time. Instead the Red Devils agreed to play a rematch against Malaysia XI in Kuala Lumpur on Monday. Continue reading »

BBC Sport’s Chief football writer Phil McNulty has the best analysis around Tevez’s importance for ManUtd and Man City now the Argentinean has agreed a deal worth £150k/week at Eastlands and around £25m to put his pen down on said paper.

The absence of Tevez, as well as the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, makes more room in the middle for Wayne Rooney – a superior talent and goalscorer to the Argentina international.

This, however, does not make him a questionable purchase by Hughes. He is an upgrade on what City currently have and he will be at a club where – and even Eastlands fans must recognise this – aspirations and expectations are currently on an entirely different level.

Would a huge outlay on Tevez have taken United on to another level? No. Will a huge outlay on Tevez improve City and help them towards their eventual target? Every chance. This alone makes perfect sense of City’s new signing.

He fulfils two time-honoured transfer criteria. Is he better than what City currently have? Can they afford him? Yes, and most emphatically yes.

McNulty correctly outlines that A. Tevez wasn’t worth the money to assure a stay at OT and B. ManUtd have a superior talent, Wayne Rooney, already.

We know how Fergie speaks in public and how he loves to exploit facts infront of media.This summer’s hottest transfer saga was part between United and Real which was eventually won by United Ferguson.Fergie hasn’t yet felt healed from Real’s move and he still continues to hit as hard as he can.

“I don’t believe they were interested in Heinze – good player though he is. The end game was to get Ronaldo” said Ferguson.Since years we know that no one can leave United until Ferguson wants to and others better know it.He’s one of those managers who never makes personal comments on any of players but rather exploit the one behind the plot.

This all was not taken in any friendly matter by Real and their dumb reply came saying “FERGUSON IS SENILE.”

To some reason it was all correct by our manager.Real has bad history about luring players into their team and its none who has taken things so seriously.Man Utd and Real have old relations in terms with transfer window.Jaap Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Paul Ince, and David Beckhamall flied to Real after United felt they weren’t for them anymore.But they all had one thing common starting from first.None was the decider of their fate.It was Fergie who gave them the red flag and asked them to move out.

With Cristiano,however it was all different.The Spaniards are for now don’t seem to have any answers and i would be pleased to see with them coming with good answer.

Fergie has still more years left before he says his last good bye.He won’t leave the club until he feels that things are best.

Long live Fergie !!

So we had another win at our tour.Pirates were brought down by one goal scored by United’s Lee Martin.There was no more action apart from that after playing couple of tiring matches.Really i won’t be seeing anymore after watching United’s match against Kaizer Chefs.But hey if you want to see the future United you have to follow their games.Read the full report over here.

Yesterday there was a small warning coming from our Cheif Executive,David Gill warning Real for creating the present situation.He added United has already declared that Ronaldo was not for sale since United’s match at Zurich so there’s no point persuading anyone.Not a single bid would be welcomed.Also Fergie has warned Ronaldo that moving to Real is a big mistake and it will be hard for him to get the flair what he has at present.Giving examples of best players who left United in their prime time.

Apart from that Fergie confessed and pointed that Rooney is more like a mid-fielder rather than a natural striker.Rooney as such his not a clinical striker but his more like  play maker.So even if he contributes nothing at Goals we still feel he’s the only man for United.Once he has controlled his aggression he can be suited more comfortably in mid-field roles as its the area where we have maximum tackles.

So its only one game remaining to party.Since the game Chelsea,the players have pushed themselves on the edge and don’t seem to compensate on any odds.Since its more than 24 hours to game i may presume that u guys have read about the match review in much depth.But i will keep it simple rather than applauding United with  common adjectives.

The game was by far the best of this month.The placid atmosphere at OT is vanishing and the crowd is going loud than ever.Two of our lads playing against their ex-club+ this being the second last game to League it was quite an occasion,which the teams didn’t want to spoil it.

Early with the period of 3 minutes Ronaldo’s footie surpassed Hammers defense and drove United’s first goal.Watching Neil delaying Ronaldo till end was quite funny.The falling back visualized it as if the Players are getting scared of him or trying to safe in case Ronny makes them look silly.Even Green didn’t like the #7 coming close .Any how he slipped the first goal past the goal and Ronaldo couldn’t help laughing.

The goal wasn’t the first misery Hammers were going to have.United second goal came no later after 25 minutes,thanks to a deep curler from Hargo finding Ronaldo in free position.One first impression i thought he might have scored with his *thing* and just kept wondering how strong he was.But then later, I  corrected myself watching the replays.But any how it was his brilliance to covert the goal from nothing.Even the best strikers in world fail to do and Ronaldo did it with ease.That was his goal number 40.Quite unstoppable!!

Tevez didn’t want to disappoint his EX with nothing to show.He added United’s third on 26 minutes with a vicious strike from 25 yards so great that even the visitors made a second look at this man.Crowd enjoyed and so did i.It was a feast going on and i could only predict any thing wrong for United.

Some how they managed to snatch a goal in their bad times.D.Aston created a bizzare goal for his team striking an over head kick dodging one of our Best defender.Poor compared to  Ferdi’s standards but goal looked  spectacular to even entertain our people.Next came Nani’s removal.With a small tussle with Hammer defense his aggression passed over his head head butting Neil,the guy who was already traumatized by Cristi.Nani fearing a red card fall on the ground creating scenes that could confuse Mike Riley,but Linesmen was spot on.Nani received a red card and was quite shame to watch for his act.If he could have been brave and stood up for what he had done it would have been a better story for him.

Moving from this, the later part turned little dull compared to first 30 minutes of non-stop action.Hammers not intending to serve 10 men advantage,hold their bay and stood to do nothing.But United’s play kept building just to keep their Goal difference quite visible for Chelsea.Carrick driving United’s last and 4th goal to the match.We could have done for 5th on 80 minutes after Fletcher hitting the post on his first touch.The game ended for United with an answer for their thirst to the trophy.

Chelsea won’t getting things on hand like they used to 2 years back.Winning today pushed to safety seats and now only one game remaining to make another Silverware.The next game leaves no importance for Wigan as they have already cleared the relegation line with their 2 goal victory against Villa.This makes it less important for Bruce’s men and would avoid going hard.

I don’t see any worries to our men to Lift another Premier Title.!! Rock on United…

What could have been expected :

Hammers atleast fighting.

Nani Not falling.

Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick.

The defeat at Stamford bridge was a bitter one.Fouls and cards following all around and still Chelski’ walks out neat.The Evra case is still been looked into and not still sure why the fights went on.Many think it was the  racial comments that pushed the Frenchman to head into a quarrel.

A video-tape is taken into as an evident and Chelsea-United both will be taking a close eye on this. The London Press has already declared that United were the ones who started the fight and bull shits which is not the first time.We have been getting with this along long time and now it doesn’t matter much.

Apart from that injury with Rooney might be looking a serious one.Nothing is sure about his fitness and i doubt him playing at Trafford against Barca.The story with Vida isn’t that hard.He only had concussion and a single tooth broken.As such no one can guarantee will United risk these both against Barca or rest them for EPL.Its a big dilemma which Fergie has to come out.Fergie could have rested Rooney and taken Ronaldo on that.It has happened many times with us.When we go mighty close its that time when we start spilling our fortune.Things start to become shaky.But i still think we can manage out of that.

Barca on other hand are completely out of Spanish Premier. Villa and Real both winning with their games have thrashed Barca of the race and now Champions league is their only silver ware remaining.

Guys its going to be tough night at OT.I cant wait for that.

Chelsea pulls valuable points at Stamford bridge after putting United down with 2-1.

The match didnt work for us from start.United players were all around.Not at all the team who went scoring 16 goals in 4 games.Going 4-5-1 after talking all shits of taking Chelsea.. that was indeed the painful to watch .

Chelsea right from start did look for business.The attack was right on from first minute.While their players masterfully positioning themselves,United standing dumb everywhere. Continue reading »
