Manchester United FC - Birmingham City FC preview

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 ((More about that tomorrow, Saturday)) our pre-season has been rather psoitive with only one lost game, in Munich. [Read more…]

community-shieldTomorrow 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. [Read more…]

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. [Read more…]

Phil McNulty on Tevez’s move to The Council House

By

Carlos Tevez

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.

Fergie hitting bull’s eye

By

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 !!
