Neville almost sure of getting title this year

By

With Manchester United strongly in the running for winning the Premiere League Championship once again this year, Man Utd fans are becoming increasingly stoked about the team’s prospects even with strong competition facing them in the coming months.

But the enthusiasm is not being relegated to fans. Even the members of the team are becoming increasingly optimistic about their chances for a record fourth consecutive championship. And no one is more optimistic than Manchester United Captain Gary Neville, who has been quoted as saying “It is in our hands now and it has not been like that for a while.”

Key to the Red Devils’ success if Wayne Rooney’s amazing run this season. Rooney has been on fire and is ably replacing the void that Cristiano Ronaldo has left. the striker has already scored his 23rd goal this season, which already equals his career best.

Neville wants the Red Devils to maintain their winning form, which is needed now more than ever as they prepare to play AC Milan in the Champions League.

All eyes are now on Nani, who has been playing extremely well in their last few games. If Nani gets his groove, he’ll be a perfect partner to Rooney.

Giggs renews ManUtd deal

By

It didn’t come as a surprise at a ll.

Ryan Giggs has signed a new contract with Manchester United, extending his stay with the Red Devils until the summer of 2011.

The new one-year deal will mean that Giggsy will be staying at Old Trafford past his upcoming 37th birthday. Giggs has been declared the BBC Sports Personality of the Year and with good reason, the man has been in fine form this season. We all know that Giggs is a stable and consistent player but this year looks like he has upped his game and he’s been performing exceptionally well. In the Fantasy League I play in, practically everyone has him on every team roster, and that’s a fair indicator of the numbers he’s been putting out this season. Even Sir Alex Ferguson couldn’t help but remark about the amazing form Giggs has been showing this season.

Could the Not So Special One succeed the Special One at ManUtd?

By

José MourinhoEvery year again, when it’s quiet during the off and pre-season the same topic comes up. Over and over again and last week was no exception to this: José Mourinho hopes to lead Manchester United some day.
Before I analyze what he could bring and wouldn’t bring to Old Trafford, let us get the facts right.

Mr. Mourinho, brilliant strategist as he might be, certainly is NOT the Special One. If one manager deserves this title, it can only be Sir Alex Ferguson. A clsoe contender to SAF would be Carlos Ancelotti, but Mourinho still has lots to prove before he can make his claim valid.

Mourinho a great manager?

There is no doubt that the Portuguese manager a brilliant trainer is and could succeed at most top clubs, as he has proven with Port, Chelsea and Inter Milan. His managerial track record is marvelous and glamorous with 5 league titles and 2 European Cups:

  • Porto: Portuguese Liga: 2002-03, 2003-04 – Taça de Portugal: 2002-03 – SuperCup Cândido de Oliveira: 2003 – UEFA Champions League: 2004 – UEFA Cup: 2003
  • Chelsea F.C.: FA Premier League: 2004-05, 2005-06 – FA Cup: 2007 – Football League Cup: 2005, 2007 – FA Community Shield: 2005
  • F.C. Internazionale Milano: Serie A: 2008-09 – Supercoppa Italiana: 2008

He is is currently on a run of 117 home league matches unbeaten, his last and only defeat at home dating from 23 February 2002.

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

By

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.
