Champions League

CL – Boring match but good enough for United

Champions League SF, 1st leg
Nou Camp, Weds 23 April 2008

FC BARCELONA 0

MANCHESTER UNITED 0

It is always great to play against Barcelona because I love to see match that full of attacking. However, I am quite disappointed with last night 1st leg semi final match. Not only because Ronaldo failed to convert a penalty for United in the 1st minute….but the whole match is pretty boring!!!

Normally, United played with single striker in Champions League match but last night when Teves has been listed with Rooney and Ronaldo is also around, I am pretty damn sure… I will see at least 3-4 goals in this single match!! But it is quite shocking because not even 1 goal has been scored!!

What should i say about the whole match??

OK…it seems that United work hard for a draw and Barcelona works hard not to let United scored!!

So, 0-0 is a pretty fair result and what the both team pray for!! congratulations to both!

Hopefully, United can win at Old Trafford!!

EPL, My Manutd

The dream of retaining Premier League title almost come true!

Ronaldo (pen) 54, Hargreaves 72

ARSENAL 1
Adebayor 48

I do agree with Sir Alex…watching Manchester United vs Arsenal last night was a really “mind torturing”!! …especially in the first half. I just can’t stop my finger from changing from channel to channel in every 5 minutes because it is quite stressful. Luckily, there is no goal from the Gunners in the first half.

When the second half started with Adebayor goal, I just shut down my TV and go straight to bed!! I am pretty sure that it will end 0-1 and United might losing some valuable points!! The fact that Adebayor use his hand for that goal really makes me sicker!

But then I received SMS from Maxis that said…United leveled by another Ronaldo penalty kick!! That SMS wake me up and I once again end up in front of the TV. Thanks to Gallas that gives another penalty to Manchester United!! ( He must be United’s fan in disguise )

That goal changing the flow of the match quite instantly. United take control of the match really well and finally when Hargreaves scored that wonderful free kick… I just take my hand phone and ready to SMS all my Arsenal’s fan just too hurt their feeling..hahahaha..
But..yeah..it is already mid night.. I don’t think that is a good time to bother them and their family. Furthermore…”esok masih ada…( I still have tomorrow..)”

With that important goal, Arsenal surely out of the title challenge for this season. This year title must be between United and Chelsea. Arsenal was behind by 9 points with only maximum 12 points up for grab! It is quite impossible for Arsenal to catch United or even Chelsea.

Chelsea never lose at Stamford Bridge for almost 4 years now… maybe this year is the best time for them too lose and United will hurt them more by retaining the Premier League title at Stamford Bridge!

I can smell the victory….Oh YEAH!

Champions League, My Manutd

CL – I hope for Manutd vs Chelsea in the final!

Yeah yeah..my prediction is only 50% correct. It supposes to be 100% correct but the luck is not there for Fenerbache and Arsenal. When Fenerbache won at home 2-1 and Arsenal draw 1-1… I almost confidence that my prediction will be correct. Unluckily, Fenerbahce didn’t defense well in their return leg and the referee helps Liverpool for that controversial penalty after the match that almost in Arsenal hand!!

With Manchester United will face a mouth watering match up against Barcelona and Chelsea will face Liverpool again in semi final… I am quite confident United will go through and hopefully they can meet Chelsea. Although, I believe it is easier for United to be the champion if they meet Liverpool but I hate Liverpool more than Chelsea!
