Manchester United Fanaticos

Manchester Derbies - Whats your prediction ?

2011-10-21T23:16:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since I updated this blog. Mostly due to short of time to blogging. But this week derby makes me more nervy than previous season. Firstly, the new build up rival team were much more stronger since the adding up of Kun Aguero. Shit !!! should see this coming. With Dzeko improving plays they have the attacking power that we really should defends with all might.

Rio and Cleverly are coming back and I strongly

believed we will make a comeback like the first three games we have earlier this season. The combination of youngsters and veterans will make this team very tough to break and we don't want our undefeated games will be over this weekend.

I append herewith the last derby of 10th May 2009 with courtesy by J Tuck & S Muncaster of www.manutd.com. Lets make a review and give your predictions ( should predicts win on our side though..haha ).

Barclays Premier League, 10 May 2009
Old Trafford. Attendance: 75,464.

UNITED 2
(Ronaldo 18, Tevez 45)

CITY 0

United: Van der Sar; Rafael, Vidic, Evans (O'Shea 71), Evra; Park (Scholes 58), Fletcher, Giggs; Ronaldo (Rooney 58), Tevez, Berbatov. Subs not used: Kuszczak, G Neville, Nani, Carrick.

Old Trafford Derbies: 2009

United brushed aside City's challenge in May 2009 to move to within touching distance of a third successive title.

First-half goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez sealed the points on a day when United’s back four were rarely troubled by Mark Hughes' side.

Ronaldo opened the scoring with a free-kick from 28 yards that clipped Nigel de Jong on the end of the wall before bouncing once and nestling in the back of the net. And Tevez, who had been the subject of intense pre-match speculation surrounding his future at Old Trafford, rounded off a superb move involving Darren Fletcher and Dimitar Berbatov on the stroke of half-time.

The win left the Reds needing four points from the final three games to secure the title, which duly arrived with a goalless draw at home to Arsenal two games later.

South Africa vs Mexico ; Your Predictions ?

2010-06-11T22:00:00.000+08:00

It will be just a couple of hours before the kick off starts with the host against the Mexican at the Soccer City Stadium. The heats already feels all around the world including ours. Of course for me gladly would like to see our new signing i.e Javier Hernandez play for Mexico. This will be his first World Cup and also for us to see he in actions.

England will start his game tomorrow against the States and this is the game I've waited so far. Do England capable to be top of the group and advanced to the next round. We'll see guys. There has been a lot of news about our player especially Wayne Rooney and a quote from his opponents, Lionel Messi that he will shine and make a name for himself in the World Cup. The most worried thing about him as said by his other team mate is could he control his temper and will not received the red card as happens in the last World Cup.

So for me the predictions for this game would be the host win the match based on a few things. Firstly, the playing as a host in front of their own stadium and fans and of course they being coached by Carlos Alberta Parreira who had his World Cup medals. How about you guys? What will be your predictions. Comment and predict your choice.

World Cup Injuries

2010-06-09T20:07:00.001+08:00

The opening game will be by this end of week seeing the host; South Africa playing against Mexico in their new stadium in Cape Town. By saying that, all the teams involved would already prepared physically and mentally.

But there were also a few frustrated players who couldn't play in the last minute before the opening due to injuries in their warming up games. There goes also with our players in their national teams. I'm a bit frustrated when I heard the news that Rio Ferdinand got his knee injured in their warm up training and could not recovered before the first match against USA. Now we got another injuries involving our in-form player i.e Nani which injured last week also in their warm up training and has been ruled out immediately. Pity to see our players can't play in this World Cup which they have been waiting for four years.

To the other players I hope all of you can play fantastically and drive their national teams to the final. For me I would like to see our forward attacker Wayne Rooney to unleashed his potential and to show them who's the best player in the world.

Glory Glory Manchester United !!!

Aon ???

2010-06-01T20:32:00.000+08:00

As expected we will wear a new sponsored jersey for next season and hopefully our new sponsor can bring us more profit next year. So guys we'll have to buy a new one maybe before the start of the new season. So damn expensive for the original isn't it? What the hell after all it's all for our club.

Here are the updates courtesy of Manutd.com.

Aon Corporation (NYSE:AON), the world’s leading risk advisor and human capital consultant, has kicked off its four-year shirt sponsorship of Manchester United with a programme of global charity initiatives designed to promote youth development and healthier communities.

The sponsorship and charity campaign were launched at Old Trafford this morning by executives of Aon and Manchester United, alongside club legends Sir Bobby Charlton, Bryan Robson and Quinton Fortune.

"Based on our shared values of leadership, teamwork and a passion for excellence, it is difficult to imagine a stronger fit for Aon than Manchester United," said Aon Corporation president and chief executive Greg Case. "Through the global charitable initiatives of Aon’s 36,000 colleagues, we will work with our partners at Manchester United and the Manchester United Foundation to promote these values and create positive opportunities for young people, to enable them to thrive and to help improve their communities."

United chief executive officer David Gill said: "This event is an indication of how Aon is committed to developing the partnership way beyond a simple commercial arrangement. In the coming years, I hope we will be able to build a tangible legacy for the Manchester United community both here in the north west and further afield. I am delighted Aon wants to get its whole worldwide workforce involved. I'm sure it will really bring the sponsorship to life for many of them."

To mark the start of the sponsorship, the first charity event involved more than 150 of Aon’s Manchester-based colleagues and their families. They participated in a penalty shootout challenge at Old Trafford for the Manchester-based The Christie charity, a leading cancer centre that treats more than 40,000 patients a year.

The Aon Foundation donated £25,000, of which £3,500 came from the penalty challenge, to The Survivorship Programme of The Christie, which helps young people progress in their educational and career goals and receive life skills and support following cancer treatment.

The Christie chief executive Caroline Shaw said: "Having cancer at any age is traumatic, but it is especially difficult for young people when they still have their whole lives ahead of them. This generous support will help them have the successful and fulfilling life that they deserve after cancer."

Case added: "Throughout our offices around the world [more than 500], Aon colleagues are joining today’s fundraising through an 'Aon United REDy Day' campaign, which includes raising money for local charities by wearing Manchester United shirts or red clothes for the day. Aon is an organisation that is truly committed to strengthening communities by sharing our human, intellectual and financial resources. We believe that through this ongoing programme of charitable initiatives we can make a positive difference in people's lives."

Forthcoming Aon charity initiatives include Aon United Day on 15 July 2010, which will involve Aon’s global colleagues in over 120 countries participating in fundraising and volunteer activities, including supporting hundreds of schools, children’s hospitals, orphanages and community centres, as well as high-profile organisations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters Clubs, Junior Achievement, Ronald McDonald House, Special Olympics, UNICEF, United Way and the YMCA.

In Botswana, Aon colleagues will partner with the House of Hope orphanage by providing furniture donations and helping to clean and improve the facility. In Singapore, Aon volunteers will host an indoor football match for the young people served by Boys’ Town and will support the organisation’s new building fund. Aon Bangalore has "adopted" a local elementary school that it will support throughout the coming year with both charitable donations and volunteer service. In Bolivia, Aon colleagues will donate to Hogar de Ninos Alalay, helping to plant trees on the orphanage grounds and creating art projects with the children who live there. In Sacramento, California, Aon colleagues are partnering with Project 680 by collecting hygiene supplies to distribute to homeless youth. In the Netherlands, Aon colleagues will participate in a charity bike ride and sell Right to Play merchandise to help raise funds for youth sports programmes in disadvantaged areas.

Final 20 Says England Coach

2010-05-31T20:35:00.000+08:00

As at Tuesday morning we will know which players has been selected for the final twenty to South Africa. Based on their last match against Japan many would think how England will survive in the stage group. Neither players from England has made the contribution towards the winning and it's a shame as they were one of the most popular and reputable leagues in the world. Not to forget their high paid players which not as expensive as their plays.

This is the list of 30 players before the cut tomorrow and who you would think will be the final 20?

On Tuesday morning, Fabio Capello will make seven fateful telephone calls that will end the dreams of those who answer. The Italian already knows in his own mind 20 of the men he will call upon in South Africa next month.

The remaining ten will face Japan in Graz tomorrow knowing they must scrap for their lives to claim one of that coveted trio of remaining tickets.

"I more or less know," he admitted. "Not 23 but maybe 20. It will be disappointing when I have to tell some of the players that they must go home because all the players here have trained really well. I am really happy with their focus and the job they have done. But I have to choose."

Likely candidates for the axe include Michael Dawson, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Scott Parker. Tom Huddlestone and Darren Bent both start tomorrow knowing a failure will probably end their hopes too.

A straight fight between Leighton Baines and Stephen Warnock to act as deputy to Ashley Cole at left-back will end in heartbreak for the loser, while Joe Cole and Adam Johnson would appear to be scrapping over the remaining berth.

It will be disappointing when I have to tell some of the players that they must go home.

Fabio Capello, England coach.

Capello will assess the performances of his players in tomorrow's final friendly, then receive any injury updates on Monday and, in Gareth Barry's case, Tuesday morning before reaching a conclusion that will be all his own work.

"No. I won't talk to the senior players," he said. "If I lose I want to know it has been because of my decisions."

So much would appear to hinge on Barry. Although there were some dire early predictions for the Manchester City midfielder's fate, his recovery appears to be progressing roughly in line with official estimates when he first suffered ankle ligament damage against Tottenham on 5 May.

Capello has provided an optimistic medical bulletin. However, even he cannot wait forever. And when he makes his call on Tuesday morning, he must discover Barry will be fit to play a full part in training the day after England tackle USA in their Group C opener in Rustenburg on 12 June.

"Barry has improved a lot. The last news was good," said Capello. "But we have to wait and see what the doctor says. After that, we will know if he will be fit in a short time and ready to train with us, or whether he won't be ready.

"He has to be able to train normally the day after the first game. He is doing a lot of physiotherapy to get the movement going and is following what the doctor says. But I don't know if he is running yet."

With Barry back home in Manchester, Huddlestone has been handed a start in midfield tomorrow, whilst Bent will partner Wayne Rooney in attack, as he did with limited success against Brazil in Qatar last November.

Aaron Lennon and David James have also been assured of their spots, the latter making his first appearance in an England starting XI since April last year.

England vs Japan : England Winning With A Jap's Help

2010-05-30T22:18:00.001+08:00

There were many matches will played today as they prepared for the World Cup and so with England as the play against Japan at Austria. Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand were among our player to be included in this match as Capello will have his final selection after the game with Japan.

As expected our boys crack Japan with a 2-1 win with goal courtesy from an own goal by Julio Tanaka and another own goal by Japan's goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima. The funny thing is what happen to goal scoring machine??? For full pack news, read this minute by minute commentary courtesy of Telegraph, UK.

FULL-TIME: England 2 Japan 1

England move on to the World Cup finals with another victory under their belts. Not a single Englishman managed to get on the scoresheet and, if truth be told, England were rubbish in large patches, but a win is a win and, hopefully, they can take confidence from that.

A total of 17 players were used by Fabio Capello during the game. Now the Italian will return to the somewhat dryer surroundings of his hotel room to deliberate over who gets dropped. Several phone calls now need to be made.

91st min: Steven Gerrard is moving very gingerly, he's been limping for a couple of minutes now. Not a good sign.

88th min: Should have been 3-1 to England. A superb cross into the box from Steven Gerrard invited one of the England forwards to put a head on it but the diving Emile Heskey couldn't stretch his 6ft-plus frame long enough to reach.

86th min: England are winning and the heavens have opened. There's an Austrian monsoon occuring in Graz. Brollies shooting up all over the place, except in the England dug-out fortunately. Flashes of lightning in the sky and a loud cheer from the supporters every time the thunder rumbles.

82nd min: GOAL!!! England 2 Japan 1

Another own goal. Japan's goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima has played so well but has ended up picking the ball out of the back of his net twice off his own players. This time Ashley Cole whipped in from the left and Yuji Nakazawa inadvertently toed the ball past his keeper.

81st min: Fabio Capello has tinkered again, Shaun Wright-Phillips switching to the right and Joe Cole to the left.

79th min: From Mark Ogden on Twitter - "Cunning England plan to lower WC expectations? Play awfully, miss a pen and lose to Japan. Pretty bad"

77th min: England supporters try to raise the noise levels in the stadium by chanting "we're on the p*** and we're having a laugh" (repeat x5 before getting bored)

74th min: Looks like Emily Heskey is about to come on and England will revert back to 4-4-2. Why, why, why, why ,why? The new 4-2-3-1 formation was working. Aaron Lennon comes off and Joe Cole goes to the right-hand side, where back to 4-4-2.

71st min: GOAL!!! England 1 Japan 1

Own goal from Tulio Tanaka. It was certainly the only way goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima was going to be beaten. Joe Cole whipped the ball in from the bye-line and Tanaka headed the ball into his own net while trying to intercept.

68th min: Top class save from Japan goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima. Wayne Rooney's 20-yard, curling effort looked to be bending in but was palmed away to safety by the diving keeper.

66th min: Great save from Joe Hart keeps England just one goal adrift. This writer's optimism at the start of the second half is beginning to look a tad miss-placed.

64th min: Camera pans to Ledley King in the dug-out. The centre-back is unavailable for selection having played against Mexico on Monday - a full fours days ago. Is it just me or does that just sound stupid?

60th min: Fabio Capello and Japan coach Takeshi Okada have just had an argument on the touchline using the international language of arm waving. It looks like England have been told to get stuck in to their opponents if 'tackles' from Wayne Rooney and Jamie Carragher are anything to go by.

58th min: From Henry Winter on Twitter - "Rio Ferdinand moving awkwardly...thigh? after hefty challenge on Okazaki. Seems OK. England better. Couldn't be worse"

57th min: I've just been reminded that England have actually been practicing penalty kicks during their training camp in Austria. Oh, the irony...

55th min: SAVED - It's still England 0 Japan 1. An inital Frank Lampard free-kick was handballed by Keisuke Honda and the referee had no hesitation in awarding the pen. The Chelsea midfielder stepped up, calm as you like, but his spot-kick, fired towards the bottom left-corner, was brilliantly saved by Eiji Kawashima.

54th min: PENALTY TO ENGLAND

53rd min: From Henry Winter on Twitter - "England 4-2-3-1. Gerrard deep with Lamps. Better tempo. Roo up top. Big 45 for J Cole in the hole"

50th min: It's a much brighter start for England but they need to keep up this tempo. The shape of the team looks much better. And just as I say that, Keisuke Honda produces a zipping long-range shot that Joe Hart does well to tip over. Referee fails to spot the contact and gives a goal kick to England.

47th min: Aaron Lennon has switched to the right wing and it looks like Wayne Rooney is the lone man up front (Andy Townsend gets his wish). Joe Cole seems to be playing in the hole behind Rooney, with Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in central midfield and Shaun Wright-Phillips on the left.

45th min: Fabio Capello is ringing the changes. Jamie Carragher, Joe Cole, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Steven Gerrard and Joe Hart are on and David James, Glen Johnson, Tom Huddlestone, Darren Bent and Theo Walcott are off. It looks like England are also changing formation, stand by for updates...

HALF-TIME: England 0 Japan 1

England's players won't have enjoyed that much and they will probably enjoy the half-time interval even less as Fabio Capello prepares to let rip into what was a pathetic first-half performance. Wayne Rooney aside, not one of the England players out on the pitch walked off with their reputations in tact.

43rd min: Theo Walcott looks like England's main outlet, the Arsenal wing and Wayne Rooney combining well. Walcott has put a number of balls into the box but all a bit close to the Japan keeper.

38th min: From Henry Winter on Twitter - "England Expects?? Not with 4-4-2. Not with Tom Huddlestone & Glen Johnson playing like this. Fans trying to lift quiet, nervous England"

36th min: It's still 1-0 to Japan and if it stays this way expect a raft of substitutions at half-time. Tom Huddlestone looks like a rabbit in headlights and Darren Bent has hardly had a sniff. Huddlestone has just had a shot from distance that was an absolute mile off target but went straight at Wayne Rooney, who nearly manipulated it into a chance, the ball going a yard wide of the post after he jumped up and back-heeled the ball in mid-air.

33rd min: ITV commentator Andy Townsend has just questioned why Fabio Capello is not choosing to use this match to play Wayne Rooney up front on his own, with Steven Gerrard playing behind him (cue camera panning to subs bench where Gerrard is sat staring pensively). Certainly, at the moment, this current 4-4-2 simply isn't working.

29th min: Fabio Capello has just given Glen Johnson the dirtiest of looks after the right-back left the pitch to change his boots allowing Japan space down their left flank to whip in what was, fortunately, a poor cross. He's still on the sidelines because he can't do up his shoe laces. Dear oh dear!

28th min: From Henry Winter on Twitter - "England struggling in 4-4-2. Japan have extra body and desire in midfield. Poor from England. Could be lively half-time talk"

23rd min: The World Cup football is going to cause goalkeepers all sorts of problems if Frank Lampard's 23rd-minute free-kick is anything to go by. The ball dipped, fizzed, swerved (I think it even changed shape for a minute) before dropping at the feet of Elji Kawashima and causing the Japanese shot-stopper to spill it back into the danger zone.

20th min: This is really end to end stuff and Japan could, and probably should, have extended their lead. Rio Ferdinand was nudged off the ball (how does that happen when his opponent is 2ft shorter than him???) but Shinji Okazaki balloons the ball over when he should have done better.

18th min: Great chance for Aaron Lennon who should have equalised for England. Played through by Wayne Rooney, the Spurs flyer fired left footed straight at the keeper.

16th min: Glen Johnson is very busy on the right flank defensively, which will be a worry for Capello. On the left, Aaron Lennon is making some willing runs but hasn't been spotted.

14th min: Japan are doing exactly what Fabio Capello wants his England team to be doing - getting in the face of the opposition and allowing them no time on the ball. England need to sharpen up because at the moment, the Three Lions may be enjoying more of the ball, but Japan look the more threatening.

11th min: England are light on cover at the back. Tom Huddlestone is forgetting his defensive duties and needs to focus.

6th min: GOAL!!! England 0 Japan 1 - England behind inside seven minutes. From a corner Tulio Tanaka runs across Glen Johnson and fires the ball inside the near post, through the legs of Ashley Cole. Terrible start for England who look nervous at the back.

13.22: From Henry Winter on Twitter - "England's No 9 up on main screen as D Brent. Another day at The Office for the Sunderland striker. Looking forward to his goal celebration"

13.20: Pitch look great so there can be no excuses from any of the England players if the bounce doesn't go their way.

13.15: All of this England team believe they are going to South Africa but only one man's opinion counts. Fabio Capello says he knows 20 of his final 23-man squad, with the Italian still undecided on a defender, a midfielder and a striker. He's also revealed he won't name is first choice goalkeeper until the morning of the USA match.

13.10: England takes over Graz and the UPC-Arena is a cauldron of noise as the players walk out onto the pitch to Kings of Leon's 'Sex is on Fire'.

13.05: England fans have been having a moan as they prepare to bid bon voyage to the players. This friendly will be the last time many get to see their heros before they jet off to South Africa carrying the hopes of a nation with them. Supporters claim that getting World Cup tickets is not a problem, it's the cost of flights and hotel rooms etc once out there that are causing issues.

13.00: Japan team in as well so let's see who England will be up against...

Eiji Kawashima, Yuji Nakazawa, Marcus Tulio Tanaka, Yuto Nagatomo, Yasuyuki Konno, Yasuhito Endo, Makoto Hasebe, Yuke Abe, Keisuke Honda, Yoshito Okubu, Shinji Okazaki.

12.55: Adrian Chiles helming the ITV commentary once again. Straight in there with the gags, too, directed at Andy Townsend and Gareth Southgate... "now we'll find out how our commentary team perform at altitude"

12.50: From Henry Winter on Twitter - "FA appoint Bevington as Club England MD. A good football man, his 1st task is to get Fabio Capello to end Inter Milan interest in him"

12.47: Did you know... the fastest goal in a World Cup finals match was scored by Turkey's Hakan Sukur after only 11 seconds against South Korea in 2002.

12.45: Everyone had thought Capello would select his strongest starting XI against Japan, what with it being the last warm-up match before the World Cup starts and all. However, in naming Darren Bent, Tom Huddlestone and David James from the off, with Aaron Lennon on the left, it looks like's he's still experimenting. Who do you think he'll drop?

12.40: From Mark Ogden on Twitter - "if Capello so keen on Carra/Scholes, why wait until WC? Euro 2012 not priority, but squad harmony is. Late-comers will not help that"

12.35: Here's an interesting question posed by my Telegraph Sport colleagues: if Japan were an English club, who would they be? General concensus is... Crewe - terrible team, but every few years they produce an exceptional player who is snapped up by a big European club.

12.30: From Henry Winter on Twitter - "wandering around Graz market...€25 for a modest 'Sturm Graz Forever' T-shirt. And I thought the Premier League was commercially aggressive"

12.25: This summer will be Japan's fourth straight final appearance, but this squad has not inspired domestic confidence. It will be extremely difficult for them to get out of Group E, with a lack of first-rate strikers making it tough for Takeshi Okada's side to break down well-organised teams. Keisuke Hondaand Shunsuke Nakamura provide guile in midfield while the former Arsenal midfielder, Junichi Inamoto, brings experience to the holding role.

12.20: Quick re-cap on the groups both teams find themselves in at the World Cup...

Group C: England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia

Group E: Holland, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon

12.15: The England team is in...

David James, Glen Johnson, Ashley Cole, Tom Huddlestone, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Theo Walcott, Frank Lampard, Darren Bent, Wayne Rooney, Aaron Lennon.

David James has been handed his first England start for 13 months. The Portsmouth goalkeeper had last been in Fabio Capello's starting 11 for the World Cup qualifier with Ukraine at Wembley in April 2009.

His only action for his country since then was when he replaced the red-carded Robert Green in the return meeting with Ukraine in Dnipro in October.

James and three Chelsea players - Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and John Terry - return after being excluded for the win over Mexico after their involvement in the FA Cup final.

Tom Huddlestone, as confirmed yesterday by England coach Fabio Capello, is given his first start in a bid to make a late claim to be part of the final squad of 23 for South Africa.

The Tottenham midfielder had previously been used as a substitute against Brazil in Doha and against Mexico.

12.10: Hello guys and gals and welcome to Telegraph Sport's live blog from the pre-World Cup friendly between Japan and England in Graz as Fabio Capello takes one last opportunity to cast an eye over his players before announcing a final 23-man squad.

World Cup fever is bubbling up nicely and you can almost count down the days to the start of the tournament on your fingers - just 12 to go.

England's line-up today will have a slightly experimental look with Tottenham's Aaron Lennon operating in an unaccustomed left-wing role. Arsenal's Theo Walcott starts on the right wing.

Japan have leaked five goals without reply in their last two warm-up matches against South Korea and Serbia, finding themselves in need of a confidence-boosting performance with just a final friendly with Ivory Coast, on June 4, before their World Cup opener.

England vs Mexico ; Watch out Javier Hernandez !!!

2010-05-24T20:03:00.000+08:00

Do not forget to watch England vs Mexico tonight and for those of you who haven't see our new signing in action this is the the chance to rate whether he;s right for our team for next season. Or, would he end up for a loan as happens to Tosic or Obertan ?

United's latest signing - better known as Chicharito - is in the Central Americans' provisional squad for South Africa 2010 and may figure in the friendly at Wembley, as might his other potential new team-mates Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick.

Chicharito's arrival at Old Trafford is yet to be rubber-stamped with a work permit, but if all goes to plan, he could be back at tonight's venue when the Reds contest the Community Shield with Chelsea in August.

Mexico go into the England game in good form, having won three friendlies in a row this month - all 1-0 - against Senegal, Angola and Chile. However, they face a tough task to qualify for the last 16 from the same World Cup group as Uruguay, France and hosts South Africa, whom they face in the tournament opener on Friday 11 June.

Boss Talks On Transfers Rumors (Latest Updates)

2010-05-20T21:47:00.000+08:00

This few days off the season there's a full of talk about transfers rumors in the premiership including our team. After securing the signing of two teenagers to fill up the defensive and forward post the gaffer said there will be one or two more signing to spice up the team.

Manchester United are ready to go to war with Everton over Jack Rodwell. Toffees boss David Moyes has issued a clear 'not for sale' sign over his young midfield star. But United are determined to go ahead with a £15million bid. United boss Alex Ferguson was close to making a move for the player in the January transfer window. Now he wants the 19-year-old to strengthen his team who surrendered the title to Chelsea this season and went out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage. Moyes is trying to convince the England Under-21 international that he is at the best place to develop, having come through the ranks of the Everton academy. The club are also looking to sign him on a new improved deal in a further attempt to keep him. But that might still not be enough if the player wants to move.

Neil Custis, The Sun

Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror claims the Reds will battle it out with Manchester City for Aston Villa midfielder James Milner. City have already had a £20million offer rejected by the Midlands club.

The same paper also reckon Sergio Aguero is primed for a £51million move to Old Trafford from Atletico Madrid. Reports in Spain claim Sir Alex is ready to pay the release fee in Aguero's contract.

The gaffer spoken to the media regarding transfers rumors through MUTV Online.

Sir Alex says:

"There may be one signing and maybe we'd like to get a good player to the club, of course. But it's not easy in the present-day climate.

"The structure of our squad is good in terms of ages, the balance and the numbers. And there are a lot of good young players."

Foster Transfers To Birmingham

2010-05-18T22:28:00.000+08:00

I'm as upset as yours when I heard about this and it's confirmed he's going to Birmingham in a six million pounds fees. Being a high profile player since Sir Alex brought him from championship team but the injuries he sustained and inconsistent performance has made it more difficult for him to fight his place. This would be the first transfer the team has made for next season campaign.

Ben Foster is expected to complete a £6million move from Manchester United to Birmingham on Tuesday. A fee was agreed between the two clubs last week and Foster is expected in the midlands on Tuesday morning for a medical that will seal his Old Trafford exit. Although he began last term with high hopes of ousting Edwin van der Sar from his status as United's first-choice keeper, Foster's chance disappeared with high-profile mistakes against Manchester City and Sunderland during a two-month period at the start of the campaign when the veteran Dutchman was missing through injury. Despite these blunders, Foster was handed successive England starts, against Belarus and Brazil, leading to an expectation he would claim a place in Fabio Capello's World Cup squad.Sports staff, Daily Mirror

Transfer Rumors - Who Would You Sign ???

2010-05-17T21:46:00.002+08:00

The season's over but the business still have to go on. Currently the scoutings and agents are busy introducing new players especially to top clubs as they will prepare for next season championship. Sir Alex Ferguson has added Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and Chris Smalling to his squad for next season, but has intimated that he could sign one or two more players.

We as a die hard fans for surely want the best for our team and there have been speculation on the transfers news as I reported earlier. So?? Who would you choose to wear the Reds jerseys??? For me, I would like to strenghten our squad at midfields and forwards. My choice would be Karim Benzema and Franc Ribery. Which one is yours? Jot down your choice selection and maybe we could have a pool later to decide who's the best to fill up the position.

Manchester United Road Tour 2010

2010-05-14T20:52:00.000+08:00

Reds announce summer road tour which will be headed to West where they will play against MLS football team as they called soccer in their nation countries. Of course they play in favor of their American investor who's being called to back off by our supporters.

The squad, headed by Ryan Giggs and including stars such as Paul Scholes, Edwin van der Sar, Darren Fletcher, Antonio Valencia, John O’Shea, Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov, will be bolstered by a number of the promising young players, such as Federico Macheda and the da Silva twins.

First stop is a training camp in Chicago, home of new shirt sponsors Aon. This will be followed by a visit to the Rogers Center in Toronto for a match against Celtic on 16 July, then a return to the Lincoln Financial Field, where United played in 2003 and 2004, against Philadelphia Union on 21 July. Four days later, the Kansas City Wizards provide the opposition at the Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City. The US matches are completed in Houston on 28 July with a game against the MLS All-Stars in the Reliant Stadium.

Two days later, as already announced, the squad will play the Club’s first ever match in Mexico to open Chivas’ new 45,000 seat stadium in Guadalajara.

Sir Alex Ferguson said: “It’s great to be going back to North America. I enjoyed the last two tours there in 2003 and 2004 immensely. The quality of the facilities is outstanding and there is a real enthusiasm in the crowds. It’s especially pleasing to be going in a World Cup year, when the interest in football will be at its height.”

The schedule of the tour as per listed below.

Tour Fixtures, July 2010

16: Glasgow Celtic; Toronto

21: Philadelphia Union; Philadelphia

25: Kansas City Wizards; Kansas

28: MLS All-Stars; Houston

Transfer rumours: May

2010-05-13T21:42:00.002+08:00

After the end of the season there will be rumors speculation between transfers and departure of players of every teams including our team. New addition to the team before we close the championship is the first Mexican player, Javier Hernandez from Chivas de Guadalajara and played as a forward. Following that the promising teenager from Fulham Chris Smalling who played as a defender.

As the gaffer said he would add a couple of players for the new season and he's being targeted a few high profile players. The sad news is there maybe a bid for a couple of our favorites player and also best friends i.e Patrice Evra and Park Ji Sung.

To be exact I noted down here a few speculation regarding this month transfers.

ManUtd.com's 09/10 review

2010-05-11T23:39:00.000+08:00

Here is some of the reviews made courtesy of Manutd.com. Kind of refresh your memories of what happen for the season. Don't wanna let you dudes forget what have we achieve last season with some funny thoughts from our Manutd authors.

ManUtd.com's editorial team pick out the finest and funniest moments of 2009/10...

BEN HIBBS, deputy editor

Favourite interviewee Patrice Evra and Rafael are characters, and Paddy Crerand gives you some great lines - most aren't suitable for print - but Darren Fletcher is always a willing and honest talker. Plus, his twin toddlers joined in our chat earlier this season. Fletch: Who’s your favourite player? Twins in unison “Roooooneeey”. Who else do you like? “Gibbooooo”. Both as energetic as their dad on the pitch – all I can say is good luck.

Press box drama I was on my third rewrite of the match report for September’s 4-3 derby win as the scoreline see-sawed from dramatic 3-2 win to infuriating draw, then to unconfined elation as Michael Owen toed in a 96th-minute winner. Press box impartially? Pah!

Best away trip Wolfsburg. Germany’s Middlesbrough. But the Volkswagen Arena impressed, as did a makeshift United defence, Michael Owen bagged a hat-trick, and some young lads got priceless experience of a first-team trip.

Breaking news... Back on 11 June, being asked to write that we’d accepted Real Madrid’s £80m bid for Cristiano Ronaldo nearly made me choke on my cornflakes.

At the press conference Sir Alex shrugged off rumours of impending retirement with characteristic colour. "Absolute rubbish," he said. "I've no intention of retiring. (To journalists) You'll be gone before I am!"

Absurd rumour The words “United are ready to launch a sensational bid for Sol Campbell” still make me chuckle.

Top Red Patrice Evra. Funniest player by a mile. I can’t get over how he said he played with meat in his boots to protect an injury at Monaco. World's best left-back – Ashley Cole, you’re not a patch on Pat.

STEVE BARTRAM, contributing editor

Favourite interviewee A chat with Danny Welbeck had us in stitches as we discussed his questionable goal celebrations. He maintains he ‘went numb and blacked out’ for his jig after scoring against Stoke. Top guy.

Press box drama Not only do United put us through the mill as fans, it can be hazardous to write a report before the final whistle. Of all the late turnarounds this season, CSKA Moscow was the most nightmarish. It seemed safe to begin a downbeat assessment of a shock defeat, only for two goals in the final six minutes to seal a draw – and we almost won it! Ctrl+Alt+Del. Again.

Best away trip Shame on me, the closest thing to an away day out for me this season was the staff trip to Wembley. Nevertheless, a great day out. Entertaining game, too.

Breaking news... I arrived after Ben on the day Ronaldo’s sale was agreed. I can still picture his hassled little face, bless him.

At the press conference Jonny Evans’ squirming was hilarious in September’s pre-Wolfsburg presser. Conversation somehow turned to marriage, at which point Jonny quickly tried to usher the topic along to something else, as his girlfriend was sat among the reporters. Rather than help him out, Sir Alex bellowed: “Get him tied down dear, rings are cheap now!”

Absurd rumour At the time, Michael Owen to United. It was only after chatting with a couple of people in the know that I believed it.

Top Red Rooney’s the obvious choice, but I buzz off watching Patrice Evra bomb up and down the wing as if his life depends on it.

ADAM BOSTOCK, editor

Favourite interviewee Sir Alex. I anxiously awaited a Monday morning appointment, just hours after United’s loss to Liverpool at Anfield. But, unlike his team, the boss was on form and gave a great interview.Press box drama For some reason known only to himself, our Korean website editor Kim raced from his seat next to me as soon as Park scored the fourth and final goal against Stoke. I thought he was airport-bound, as if he’d seen what he’d come to see. “See ya, I’m off home to Seoul for the summer.” He did, however, return to finish his match report.

Breaking news... The signing of Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez caught everyone by surprise – it’s rare that such a deal is done without prior speculation. So it was great to announce his arrival, even with just a couple of hectic hours’ notice in which to prepare English and Spanish versions of the story.

At the press conference The collective sharp intake of breath when a national newspaper journalist questioned Gary Neville’s place in the team on the eve of the Chelsea match. But instead of berating the hack for daring to try and pick his team, the boss defended his skipper, and we all breathed again.

Absurd rumour Maybe I’ll have egg on my face in the future, but is Laurent Blanc really among the front-runners to succeed Sir Alex? I’d imagine United would want to appoint someone with more than three seasons of managerial experience, even if the Frenchman has made a fine start.

Top Red I’m not the first to say it but Antonio Valencia has had a great first season for United. His direct wing-play and delivery of quality balls from the byline would surely have helped Wayne Rooney win the Golden Boot had the pair not had end of term injury problems.

NICK COPPACK, contributing editor

Favourite interviewee Has to be Patrice Evra. Warm and welcoming, the Frenchman's company is a pleasure. And you're guaranteed memorable quotes. Nick would also like to point out that he likes Evra's penchant for speaking in the third person.

Press box drama You take your laptop to games but never expect to type with it on your lap. That was the case at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena, after my media accreditation had gone awry. Panic ensued, but I finally secured a desk minutes before kick-off... luckily the match proved routine with no last-minute goals or major injuries to cover. Hang on...

Best away trip Nothing tops April's visit to Eastlands. In the blazing spring sunshine, it seemed the fourth derby of the season was stuttering to a 0-0 draw. Then up popped Scholesy. I lost my shoe in the celebrations... and no doubt some small shred of dignity.

Breaking news... Sir Alex wasn't revealing much about the severity of Wayne Rooney's injury in Munich, so I was among a small group of journalists waiting for what seemed like hours for a glimpse of him leaving the Allianz Arena. When he emerged, I captured some exclusive video and posted it on ManUtd.com before the major broadcasters. Cutting-edge!

At the press conference Sir Alex's media get-togethers are always interesting. The boss curtailed one pre-match press briefing in Moscow after being grilled over the FA's decision to charge him with improper conduct, and there was a rather heated exchange following United's exit in the Champions League. He's just as quick to chastise them for their shabby dress.

Absurd rumour Word spread like wildfire around half of Manchester that City were top dogs in town. Three injury-time wins and thousands of broken Blue hearts later, it's funny to think anybody believed that rubbish.

Top Red I was over the moon when Paul Scholes signed a new contract. Some doubt that he has the legs to do it in the big games, but I believe watching him "pass teams to death" (as Gary Neville put it) is worth the price of my season ticket.

BPL Champions 09/10

2010-05-11T19:16:00.000+08:00

That's it guys. We end the season settled for second place but we don't lose easily and we lose it with dignity. I salute all the players, the management team and for sure the most dedicated gaffer we ever had, Sir Alex Feguson.

Even we didn't won the championship but we have achieved and br champions in many areas. Let's have a bit of re-cap of what we achieved last season. First, we won The Carling Cup and our players were also being awarded such as Ryan Giggs being named BBC Sports Personality of the Year award in December 2009 followed by Wayne Rooney as he was voted both Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year by fans and PFA Young Player of the year (again) by his fellow professionals.

So, we were not lose anything at all, don't we? As the gaffer said after the final games against Stoke City, "The players and the supporters have always been magnificent and you've been magnificent again. We can be proud that we've challenged hard for a fourth title in a row. Next season we'll go again and bring back the title to the best place in the world."

This will be a remarkable message by the gaffer and hopefully will boost up the morale of our players as well the fans and once again we will come back with a fight. Don't worry guys as I will update from time to time all about our clubs. Always check for latest updates.

Will There Be A Miracle ???

2010-05-07T00:35:00.000+08:00

If some of you could remember, we faced the same situation last season and surprisingly we need a help from Wigan again. Haha... Wigan hold Chelsea for a draw and we won the game so we were crowned as champions last year.

How about this season??? It will be a stressful weekend for all of us and there will be a war against the supporters. Nothing to hope more just have to wait and see either we or Chelsea will be the champions. If that happen I think we should have some event to celebrate the win. What do you think guys??? This will be the most happy days of our lives?? Doesn't it?

This are some of the thoughts of our players courtesy from Manutd.com.

After this most unpredictable of seasons, this weekend's Barclays Premier League finale may just have the capacity to spring one more shock.

That's all United can hope for, at least. Speaking at Tuesday night's annual awards dinner, defenders Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville conceded that the squad's collective ambitions rest on yet another plot twist this weekend.

"It’s been an exciting season," Ferdinand told MUTV. "More so-called lesser teams on paper have been taking points off the top four, when in previous seasons it's been a case of the big teams beating all the others and then dropping points against each other.

"It’s been a weird season. Hopefully that will bode well for Chelsea's game on Sunday."

The Reds had been hoping for a favour from Liverpool against Carlo Ancelotti's side last weekend, but Neville admits United have paid the price for losing control of the title race.

"When you leave it in the hands of others, you’ve got to take the punishment for it," said Neville. "We saw that on Sunday. We did our job which is all we could do. Now we hope something can happen this Sunday.

"I think after the Blackburn game all hope looked to have gone so at least we’re still in it.

"We’ll be kicking ourselves come the end of the season if it doesn’t go our way on Sunday. The mistakes we have made have been unusual but I think every team can say the same. It’s been a crazy season and I hope we don’t come to regret it come Sunday evening but if we do, then we’ll learn from that for next season."

Will Ben Foster Replaced Van Der Sar???

2010-05-05T00:34:00.001+08:00

There has been rumours about Alex Mcleish the Birmingham gaffer would like to bid for our under rated goal keeper, Ben Foster to replace Joe Hart the on loan keeper from Manchester City.

MirrorFootball revealed on April 20 that Brum boss Alex McLeish had an interest in Foster, who has four England caps. Ambitious City, who are ninth in the Premier League, now want to secure 6ft 2in Foster on a permanent transfer. And City officials are believed to have already contacted their United counterparts to make their interest known in the 27-year-old. “We do need a top quality keeper – it’s an important position for us,” said McLeish. “We’ll do our best to make sure the Birmingham fans get a goalkeeper who's going to give us the stature that Hart has this season.” James Nursey, The Daily Mirror.

Foster only make a few appearance in first team during Van Der Sar injuries and compassionate time leave and he proved to be his best during the time. He already saying that he need his plays as he wants to prepare for World Cup if he were selected by Fabio Capello. Thus, the tight competition between himself and Kusczak already give the gaffer headache.

So now the question is, will he be able to match the performance of his current senior golly or to be as glorious as Peter Schemeichel??? Foster really need the leagues games and he noted down his thoughts in middle of the season about leaving his beloved team.

For myself, Foster has his own charisma and can perform better and would love to see him more in the next season and upcoming. You all should know that the gaffer himself brought Foster into the squad when he was under his son's team; Peterborough. So, there must be something that attracted the gaffer and take him without any scouting helps.

What do you think guys?

Wigan, You're Our Only Hope

2010-05-03T19:06:00.000+08:00

I feel devastated when Liverpool helplessly lay down on the hand of Chelsea. Thanks to the stupidity of his captain, Steven Gerrard. The played consistently for half an hour then suddenly by a simple mistakes Chelsea were ahead courtesy of a pass back ball to Reina but delightly picked up by Drogba to make it 0-1. D**n you, Gerrard !!!

I can't see the team spirit in Liverpool's players as they always do and adore by their fans. Probably due to lack of motivation and they realized they will not advance to fourth spot and automatically miss the Champions Leagues next season.

The defeat of Liverpool means we need the help from Wigan to hold Chelsea subject to we win the match against Stoke City this week. Our team without a doubt defeated Sunderland with a goal to none but we are short of 11 goals to Chelsea.

Rooney return to the match after been left out for several games but he don't give up his 100% commitment, maybe he want to protect his ankle become worse. I don't know about Berbatov but he got plenty of chances in front of goals at least to of it within four yards from the goal post.

Nothing to comment about the game though but gladly to see Hargreaves make a comeback after absent for a year from a serious knee injury even though just in the field for only a minute.

What do you think guys??? Do we still have the chance to lift the title??? Note down your thoughts.

Liverpool's Increased Their Fans Base !!!

2010-04-29T22:39:00.000+08:00

Hahaha... Must be surprised right??? I'm not kidding guys. A substantial increase of their fans base and surprisingly knocked down other big clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea. One way to uplift the morale of players for their Europa League match tomorrow morning.

Don' faint bro's...for this week only dudes. We all the ManUtd fans will pledge to be Liverpool fans for this weeks..only...hehe... So... hope you return us the favor ok.. This week will be a big games between Liverpool and Chelsea at 8.30 pm followed by our games at 11.00 pm.

So, cross your fingers and hope Liverpool's will beat Chelsea or at least a draw. It would be a delight to us isn't it??? It would not be an easy game for our boys guys and we still out with Rooney, Neville and Ferdinand. Berbatov will lead in attacking and hopefully Scholes will hold the midfield tightly.

The previous games in October saw us make a comeback after two goal down and nearly lost if Rio's little brother; Antwon don't give us the own goal we needed most. Hopefully this Sunday we will become more focused and maintain our win in order to pressure down Chelsea.

Reserves Won The Barclays Premier Reserve League North

2010-04-28T20:21:00.000+08:00

Maybe some of you didn't know how well we doing in all competitions this seasons. Perhaps don't even know that we have won the The Barclays Premier Reserve League North. Congrats to Ole and Warren for their success!!!

We haven't won the championship since 2006. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Warren Joyce's side were mathematically crowned on Tuesday evening when Liverpool, the only side who could catch the table toppers, lost to Everton. The Toffeemen's last-minute victory at Prenton Park leaves Liverpool nine points behind United with only two games to play.

It seems Ole have proved to everybody that he capable in managed and coach the youngsters to become a champion. The gaffer will be pleased with the title and hoping Ole will be consistent in future. Maybe Sir Alex can give Ole a bit of his tactical play, who knows???

Rooney Won the PFA Player of The Year !!!

2010-04-26T20:47:00.000+08:00

Congratulations !!!

Loudest clap for our promising youngster, Wayne Rooney for the prestigious awards. Let us read the comments courtesy of The Guardian; Wayne Rooney showed no signs of his recent injury problems tonight as he collected the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award, and confirmed as much afterwards when he allayed any fears he could miss the World Cup by saying he will be fit to take his place among the leading lights in South Africa this summer.

The 24-year-old has been in sensational form this season, scoring 34 goals for United and eight for England, and is key to the nation's World Cup hopes. But a spate of injuries have caused mild panic that the England coach, Fabio Capello, might be forced to go to South Africa without his star man.The Manchester United striker who has only just returned from an ankle problem, missed yesterday's 3-1 victory over Tottenham with a groin injury sustained in training. But the Barclays Premier League's top scorer hopes to return for United's campaign finale against Stoke on Sunday 9 May and promised he would be ready for the World Cup."The groin will be fine for the World Cup, there are no worries about that," he said. "I'm hoping to play for United in the last game of the season."If that is good news for Capello, being named the first Englishman to win the PFA's top award since Steven Gerrard in 2006 was a big thrill for Rooney. "It's a great feeling to win the player of the year award because it's voted for by the players," he said."It's something I'm really proud of and it's a great honour. I remember coming here in 2005 and 2006 to win the young player of the year. I saw the players winning the main one and it's something I've aimed for since."Rooney also paid tribute to the influence that United's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has had on his career. "Sir Alex is a great manager who has really brought me on as a player since I joined United," he said. "His hunger passes through to the players. It's great to see that he's pushing 70 and hasn't changed a bit. I'm sure he'll be here for a long time yet."Rooney was also nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year but that award went to James Milner of Aston Villa. Milner appears to have played himself into Capello's World Cup squad with a string of outstanding performances and the 24-year-old midfielder credited a change in position for his success this season. "I've been moved into the middle and that suits me as it helps me influence the game a bit more," said Milner. "Maybe sometimes wide right you want to influence the game but you just can't get yourself into it."The former Leeds and South Africa captain Lucas Radebe, 41, won the PFA Merit award.

Rooney Will Not Be a Top Scorers?

2010-04-26T20:19:00.002+08:00

As we thought in my previous post, Rooney will adding up the goals to be the top scorers in the league but according to the latest update it seems not like it.

Rooney was a spectator as United leapfrogged Chelsea at the top of the table with a 3-1 victory over Tottenham at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The England striker picked up a groin injury during training on Thursday and watched on from a private box.

Speaking after the match, Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that Rooney may miss their two final league games - away at Sunderland and at home to Stoke City - in a major blow to the Red Devils' hopes of winning a fourth consecutive league crown.

"It's difficult to say, groin injuries are groin injuries, it might be two to three weeks," said Ferguson.

"We'll give it every chance. Wayne's obviously desperate to play."

Rooney had only recently returned to full training after damaging ankle ligaments during the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal defeat to Bayern Munich last month.

Giggs Spot On for United but Nani... You're Rocks!!!

2010-04-26T20:10:00.001+08:00

There has been worries over ManUtd vs Spurs game and it's been a hell in the first half. Although we dominated the possession and plenty of chances we still can't managed to go through Spurs defences. Dawson has been remarkable for Spurs along side Ledley King, the captain.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side sits two points ahead of Chelsea with the Blues set to face Stoke City on Sunday, while the defeat leaves Spurs one point clear of Manchester City for fourth place.

Giggs scored from the penalty spot in the 58th minute to put United in front, but Tottenham answered 12 minutes later through Ledley King.

Nani then put the hosts back on top nine minutes from time before Giggs beat Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes from the spot for the second time five minutes later.

The first 45 minutes failed to produced a goal and the best chance fell to United midway through the half when a strong low shot from Antonio Valencia forced a good save from Gomes.

Things picked up after halftime and United went in front after 58 minutes when a neat backheel from Dimitar Berbatov allowed Patrice Evra to get into the area before being taken down by Tottenham's Benoit Assou-Ekotto.

Giggs stepped to the spot and drove the ball into the lower left corner of the net, but a mistake in defense by Rafael allowed the visitors to level the match.

Gareth Bale's corner kick found the head of King in the middle of the area, and he turned the ball towards the net. Rafael was positioned on the right post, and he would have cleared the effort had he remained there, but instead he left his position and watched the ball end up in the back of the net.

Tottenham looked to be the more dangerous side at that point, but the introduction of Federico Macheda played a big part in United taking the lead in the 81st minute.

The young Italian took a pass from Darren Fletcher with his back to the goal and he laid the ball off to Nani, who burst into the area and lobbed a perfect chip inside the far post over the onrushing Gomes.

The result was then secured five minutes later when Nani was brought down inside the box by Wilson Palacios, allowing Giggs to tally his second goal of the match from the penalty spot.

Tottenham got a bit of a favor from Arsenal on Saturday as they held City to a 0-0 draw, while West Ham took a huge step towards safety with a 3-2 win over Wigan as Scott Parker netted the winner in the 77th minute.

Hull City looks to be headed down as they lost 1-0 to Sunderland on Darren Bent's seventh-minute goal, Wolverhampton and Blackburn finished 1-1 at Molineux Stadium and a second-half double from Aruna Dindane helped Portsmouth earn a 2-2 draw at Bolton.

Will Wayne Rooney Be The Top Scorers Of BPL?

2010-04-24T13:19:00.001+08:00

As at today Rooney still the top scorers of BPL with 26 goals followed by Drogba with 25 goals and surprisingly under rated Darren Bent from Sunderland with 23 goals. Wow!!! what a tight race for this scorers!!!

Left with 3 games to close the season and we hope our genius scorer will be the top and hopefully winning the Young PFA and PFA Awards this season. Last season when Ronaldo left United to join Real Madrid we thought this season we will not be tough but they proved to all that they are still in winning ways. The departure of Ronaldo also have give the rising up of players such as Nani, Gibson and Valencia. Valencia is also stepping up the game with his pace and growing his potential as a United players.

What do you think guys? Will Rooney be the top scorers and maybe top Ronaldo's last season goals? Give all your thoughts and write it here. Wait for new after game post when United meet Spurs tonight.

Puzzles Over New Title Challenges Makes My Colleagues and Me Wonder What will Happen???

2010-04-20T20:51:00.000+08:00

This is not a good month for me in terms of work and money. Looks like a jinx to me according to chinese lunar calendar. Nevertheless the yoyo performance of our teams at this time of the season. There has been some talk in the office pertaining the latest results of BPL which makes us puzzled of who the who will be champions this season.

At some point I have narrowed down our chances of claiming our 4th title this season but the defeat of Chelsea at White Hart Lane has gives us a new hope of retaining the title. Of course there has been some argument in the office about it.

Not to forget our other rival; Arsenal and Liverpool as their fans also fighting about their chances of clinching their best spot for Champions League next season. Its funny to think that Liverpool can beat the 5 points gap over Hotspurs with a game in hand. I wonder??? Latest quotes from Carragher ; We will claim the 4th spot for Champions Leagues. Ya.. right !!! Talk to the hand la bro...

The latest Arsenal defeat by Wigan has closed down the door for championship hope. Really... we think.. The Wigan's performance against Arsenal are their best match of this season and I'm surprised for Arsenal as they cant maintain their leads this time!!

This week will be another crucial game for us as we meet Hotspurs !!! The win against Chelsea will boost their moral and they will fight till the end to make sure they has beaten all the top rivals for this season alone. Chelsea are not excusable cause they will face Liverpool and For Liverpool guys... Im with y'all this week bro's... Salute Liverpool !!! Only for this time...hahahaha... We really need your help guys... No kidding...

Well, we all hope this week will be some miracle of us beating the Hotspurs and our GREAT friends; Liverpool... We support you till the end.... of the game... What do you think guys.. Throw down your opinion regarding this week games.. Till next post.. Sayonara !!!
