Stoke City 0 – 2 Manchester United: Pictures (From 9/27/09)

By

Yesterday’s game was a hard fought battle and in the first half Stoke City certainly tried to prove that they are better than what can be called ‘there are 6 or 7 teams who do not deserve to be in the Premier League’ and kept the game open for the first half hour.

But the experience and pure class of ManUtd resulted in another deserved win for the Red Devils, one which brings us to the top of the table for the first time in the 2009-2010 season.

And if we love to call Cantona ‘King Eric’, Ryan Giggs yesterday once more proved that he deserves to be called Emperor Ryan. Again he outperformed the illustrous and already forgotten Portuguese player who once used to tumble run up and down our pitch. Way to impress and show who are the Kings of England!

Before I write about the main problem we are facing this season, here’s some pictures of yesterday’s game.

After the jump there’s some smug pictures as well and let’s see if you can find an oddity in one of those. [Read more…]

The Arabs Need A Translator, Hughes Needs A Calculator

By

mark-hughesIf you thought that the Abu Dhabi family’s problems could have been made easier with the help of a decent translator, which could have saved them the embarrassment of buying a team without own stadium, you’ll have to think again.

Not only do the multi-billionaires have to live up that error now it also seems that they will have to send their manager to ground school again. Former ManUtd legend Mark Hughes admitted that he will keep an eye on the game at Anfield on Sunday ((Who will not, especially since no other game is played at the same time)) but contrarily to other seasons this time he will look at the result in the hope that one team might drop points and improve Citeh’s position. According to the greying Welsh man top 4 teams seem to perform worse than in previous seasons:

When we go up against the top four teams, if we can do our work and take points off them, then that will help us in terms of the ambitions we have,” he added

Cryboy Whinge #27143: Tevez Will Celebrate When He Scores Against ManUtd

By

welcome-to-the-end-of-your-careerYes, he’s at it again. Slowly the boy is becoming more annoying than the Sparky we know today. In a new episode (I could be wrong and it might be Whinge Episode 27144 already) the Argentinean escort loan player has now announced that contrarily to games against West Ham he will celebrate when he scores against Manchester United.

In the derby against United I had also decided not to celebrate our goals but, after the bad treatment I received from the supporters that day, I have changed my stance on that.

If I score in the next derby then I am sure that I will celebrate.

The emphasis here obviously is on when. We do not have to look far where he gets his inspiration from. There is the person we once loved and still want to respect but Mark Hughes has changed massively ever since he said at the press conference he was introduced as new Council House manager ‘I have played for other clubs as well’ but Tevez’s influencer is someone else.

Council House continues spending spree but must beg players to sign.

Ever when Mark Hughes, a former ManUtd legend who helped us achieve European glory, was announced at Eastlands I knew things would quickly deteriorate and ‘Sparky’ was on a path to destroy his status with the ManUtd fans. During his first press conference at The Council House he answered that he ‘had played for other teams as well‘ when asked if he thought there would be problems between him and Manchester United. Now he managed to drag our favourite whiner to the other side of town. But things are becoming totally ridiculous. Rumours say that Adebayor already passed a medical at Eastlands and will sign at City for a reported fee of £25m. That is still not enough for Sparky. Realizing that City has only invested in offensive talent ((And some old-timers such as Bellamy)) he has been flirting publicly with Mr. Chelsea. sadly a reported weekly fee of £250k still haven’t convinced John Terry to move to a club who even did not qualify for the UEFA cup under Hughes and the City manager not has to beg publicly to convince the England international and Skipper, AKA Mr. Slippery, to make the move to Eastlands:

We would like to think we could offer him a different challenge

No truer word could be spoken in matters of challenges. Instead of challenging for the European Champions League titel Terry would have to compete to qualify for the UEFA cup, possibly using backdoors such as the Intertoto or Fair Play challenges. The whine continues: [Read more…]

What’s up at the Council House?

By

By now panic must start to set in at the Council House. Other than the signing of Roque Santa Cruz, and Gareth Barry who could not wait for an offer from Rafa but chose for the big bucks, nothing much has happened. Other than failures.

City are said to make a THIRD approach for John Terry with a staggering £40m offer for the international, even though Ancelotti already claimed that Terry is going nowhere. Over here at ManUtd Blog we love JT because he’s always good for some funny lines or slippery. JT certainly is a great defender but one has to wonder if the international £40m worth is. Especially since City seems to aim at Champions League football any time soon but still struggles in the offensive department. Last season the skyblues managed to capture a player who went signed for the wrong squad and for a long time didn’t show his immense talent because of the attitude ‘We’ll never win anything’.
