Anton saves the day,United 2-2 Sunderland

Manchester United 2-2 Sunderland

Sometimes its good to be cautious.United were going in great flow and Fergie had no reason to pull out this team.Well in my preview,my thoughts were more similar to what he attempted but there were few
points which were drop down by SAF.Fergie did what was expected and Sunderland came with a prepared plan.We weren’t in our most pitiful men but had night played like one.
First half simply was for Sunderland.8 minutes to the play and they were up with stupefying goal from Darren Bent.To be honest, it couldn’t have been stupefying had Foster been on his feet.a Ever Since Van De Sar’s injury,the goal difference for United has been necked down and it looks consistent that we are not going to be breaking into those series of Clean sheets we had last season.
Anyways,it took time for United to figure out it won’t be easy night if they don’t break their sweat from the very minute.United yelled out some passion and the game was looked now like a contest.There were moments when 19 men were playing at S’land’s bay and yet there wasn’t any “chances”.Nothing turned out amazing and Whistle blew up.

The second half looked more promising from United.The forwards started to bent more forward,the weaker soul was taken out and the attacking one was brought in.Probability of goal was increasing and finally the dead-lock was broken by the man who was running the most without ball.Berba scored with most charming of touches,a brilliant volley to level United.The goal looked so spectacular that he himself couldn’t stop laughing.He quickly returned to half line with ball and felt as if he had turned into a man.The act was so confident that it was looking that Berba would now turn into Berbatov for which
United had bought him.But sadly it wasn’t the case.Dreadful Berba was back and Sunderland were back too.

Malbroque rejoined Sunderland into the game by feeding K.Jones with a floated ball in no man’s land.Yea it was keeper’s land,the ball was in the penalty area!! and still he scored with ease.Foster again to be blamed for his poor positioning.Vida was there but he felt like a douche bag that bounced off Jones.Sunderland up and it had to be United now.
So what if that goal was scored.United have been in worse times and i knew we would come back.The hope wasn’t that strong but i was pretty optimistic for a goal.The time kept ticking and we kept trying.The hope was turning into despair And then Ferdinand happened.Not Rio but Anton.!!A Shot from Patrice Evra was deflected in by Anton Ferdinand from which even United strikers couldn’t have scored for.United got leveled and Old Trafford electrified.

Much could have happened after that but nothing encountered for remaining time.There were quick 4 corners taken in 4 minutes by United and all were matching to our day’s performance.The match got leveled for United against a team which we under estimated.
The Ref had a pathetic day but we can’t blame him.Yea he didn’t award us with the deserving free-kicks or even free-kicks which Sunderland didn’t deserve.He was just another small point to United’s defeat so it can’t be highlighted.
To be honest,this wasn’t the SAF at all.I know i m being harsh but there was no point being in comfort zone at this moment.He knew the international breaks were next and there was no chance to drop any of the best players.Giggs was left out,Owen was there and Carrick came in late.The best of resources were hold down and we got payed for that.

We are now at second spot and a good break.

Breaking: £5m bid by Sunderland for Campbell accepted by ManUtd

July 10, 2009 By Franky

The internet reports that Manchester United has accepted a £5m bid from Sunderland for U21 international Frazier Campbell. Campbell has not spend much of time at ManUtd during his professional career, mainly being out on loan ((Antwerp FC, Hull FC and Spurs)), but struggled last season to get time on the pitch at the Spurs, both under Harry Redknapp and Juande Ramos. The boy clearly is talented and might become a fixture in the Premier League but sadly he doesn’t seem to have the finishing touch we need as a European Top Squad.

Campbell also had generated interested from Hull FC and now seems on his way out. Sunderland manager Steve Bruce expects the deal to be finalized before the end of the weekend. Considered how much Campbell has struggled to get time on the pitch this is an awesome financial deal for ManUtd. If he leaves we wish Campbell all the best and much success in the rest of his career. He will link up with Richardson at Sunderland who left OT in 2007 for £5.5m. We have to love Sunderland for their great business spirit!

United makes it late and saves three points.

Long time no SEE :P Yea i was out with a bad bad fever and was left with no EPSN access.I managed missed all matches since my last post game which made my sickness even worse.
Hopefully i am back and United’s last game was at home.Reading about our last 5 goal victory over Rovers i was expecting to treat Sunderland the same.
But it just wasn’t our day.Countless attack at Sunderland’s wall and infinite number of moves,hardly manage to get the ball to the post.
There were times when it was all more frustrating than goalless strikes.Ronaldo’s bitchiness continued in this match too and it now looks he has lost his flair.His bad play was also one of the reasons for me to lose interest in match. [Read more…]

December 27, 2007 By Redhead

Just as what i predicted. Goal golare!! United makes a heavy win at Stadium of Light making top spot at English Premier League.Though i selected Ronaldo for 2 goals,Rooney for one and Tevez for one.

The game  was an easy encounter.Sunderland with loads for injuries and bad form while on the other United with sublime form and top spot.The results were almost expected from every side.It was good to see our duo forwards Ronney and Saha with scoring form [Read more…]
