Capello Embarrasses Me. Yes, It’s About ManUtd.

August 14, 2010 By Franky

Although other than the compulsory smug for a ManUtd fan, I tend not to look at other clubs unless it is to admire their managers and consistency of players. I am for example a big fan of Steve Bruce and Roberto Martinez and even think that although lately more embarrassing for his own legacy than anything else, Sparky could become a good manager.

Today though I have to make an exception. Make and exception and have a look at the England Manager, Fabio Capello. First of all though I must say that I am not English but have spent the last five years of my life in England until I recently moved to a sunny Southern-European isle. Of course I did support the English national eleven during my time there and as every fan of a nice game my heart always suffered watching this thing dished to us fans, this almost catanaccio alike game brought to us by Capello. But while I may at times admire the Italian style of the game, mainly for the strategical zonal game which is played in the Serie A, as a true ManUtd fan I would rather lose 5-4 than go home with 0-0. I will take a 0-1 win though, especially if fought out in true ManUtd style and we have more than 20 shots on goal as usually, playing defences of 6-9 players is not that easy. But I digress.

Man Utd vs Wolverhampton(Match Preview)

Man Utd v.s Wolvehampton(Carling Cup)

With an epic match on saturday,United are going to enter the grounds with different men.Carling matches are no United area but we can play today with new faces.Big changes ahead will be seen for today’s game.Owen can be the possible starter along side a Berba or with in form Rooney.
No real threat-no real sweat play that we are going to see from this match.Only if Fergie doesnt take the fixture lightly,the match is a good morale booster.Foster can be taken out,so can be our long running defence.Wes Brown is expected to return so we can rest Vida or Evra along side.As such there has never been any problem with United’s defence,however Brown is a valuable addition for this year’s campagin.A
Nani should start long side with Carrick.Hargo’s presence can be delight me.It has been hell lot time since we last saw him on grounds.More from Berbatov can be atleast for this game.Owen today will be sure starter.His remarkable goal has shown Fergie more confidence in him.When he was bought i had a feeling that he can return back what he did best.Few goals from him can be expected.
All in all its an easy fixture if SAF doesn’t fail to look for right men.
Chelsea has been going lucky for long time,so we dare no lose this one.

Enjoy the game at 2000 BST!!

PS:- Oshea will make his 350th appearance and Giggs will score his 150th goal.

Vida’s pain,Fergie’s Preparation and Hargo’s word

August 28, 2008 By Redhead

I dont know whether its 100% sure or to be taken in correct sense but Vida’s mouth just spoke something that he was keeping inside himself for long time.Telegraph went on too harsh with quoting a headline saying “I will not stay at United”
Quotes from Vidic’s Interview

I will never stay to live in England, that’s for sure.You get only a brief glimpse of sunlight before it’s all cloudy again. The winters are mild, but in summer the temperatures seldom go higher than 20C. And it rains, rains, rains.
In future, I would like to test myself in another top league. I’m thinking of Spain. At least there will be no reason to complain about the weather. In England, they say that Manchester is the city of rain. Its main attraction is considered to be the timetable at the railway station, where trains leave for other, less rainy cities.Throughout the week they all work so hard. They only talk to people at lunch break. Then in the evening they come home and watch the telly, so they can get up early for work the next day.
The only time to meet friends is at weekends, but for football players it’s the busiest time of all. It was much easier for me to adapt to Russia than England. In England I had no one to talk to. The first month was especially hard. I lived alone in a hotel, which I left only for training. I thought I would go crazy inside those four walls”.

After like United went serious with the article it was changed into different manner saying

I’d like to clarify that I did not make these particular remarks. I spoke about the difficulty I had settling in to life in Manchester, but that does not reflect how I feel now.

“I enjoy my life very much as a footballer at Manchester United and I’m very happy to be a part of this great club. I think I show that in the way I play every week. I also have far too much respect for the people of Manchester, and England, to criticize them in this way

Well whatever he blurted out first may be correct to some extend for him.To be honest England does have a bad weather but that don’t mean it sucks.Actually he needs a walk around The Lake District and a small party at Knutsford.It’s more than heaven for me. :P
This are still not cleared with his words cause somewhere Vidic is denying such talks.

Mean while, Fergie is confirming that he won’t be playing easy against Zenith FC.The team will be strong and Fergie’s men will enter the game with intentions to win.This will be one of a kind experience to all of them while majority will be playing this for first time.Match is on 29 August which kinda ruins my Friday night. :P

Also,with Super Cup Hargo will try to bring his form back.There’s enough break for him now and he needs to get back regular with United.We all now his injury problems since his days with Munich but his commitment and sincerity over shadows his flaws.

Spain The Euro Champions

June 30, 2008 By Redhead

Spain Fans

Spain takes the Euro 2008 cup after beating Germans in finals.

The match atleast could have lasted 120 minutes or so.Watching those Semi’s and Quarters a match without penalty kicks would have been as boring as watch Arsenal’s game.Anyways with the match i was impressed how Spain took the charge from first minute. [Read more…]
