EPL

Let The Game Begin – New star will arise for Manutd!!

Tonight against Birmingham City at Old Trafford will be Manutd first match towards retaining the Premier League title and creating a record 4 titles in a row!!..and also a record of 19th English League Champion!!

Its going to be Alex vs Alex!!
With Nani, Ben Foster and Wes Brown were back from injury…and Alex McLeish has several defenders missing Liam Ridgewell, Martin Taylor, Scott Dann, Giovanny Espinoza and David Murphy are all unavailable. Midfielder Lee Bowyer is suspended. Marcus Bent is sidelined by a hamstring problem.

I don’t think Manutd will have any problem to win tonight with at least 3 goals.

And last night…Sir Alex expect new star will arise in Manutd squad this season..

Losing Ronaldinho….United got Cristiano Ronaldo

Losing Gascoigne.. United got Ince & Keano

Losing Hirst & Shearer… United got Cantona

Losing Ince, Kanchelskies, Hughes… United got those famous “Fergie Fledging”

I hope he is right again!

Sir Alex Ferguson insists new heroes will emerge at Manchester United following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

“This club can produce players all the time and we will go on.

“We almost had Ronaldinho signed in 2003 and two months later we have bought Ronaldo.

“Before that we thought we had Paul Gascoigne but didn’t get him and we got Paul Ince and Roy Keane.

“We had a chance to get David Hirst and then Alan Shearer. Instead we got Eric Cantona. It happens that way.”

The difference this time is more like 1995 when Ince, Andrei Kanchelskis and Mark Hughes were allowed to leave during a single northern summer.

Ferguson’s entire tenure was questioned in some quarters, only for the famed ‘Class of 92′ to emerge and carry the Old Trafford outfit to even greater glory.

And once again, the United boss is looking to players within his own ranks to emerge.

“We are searching to improve ourselves but this time the improvement will come from within,” he said.

“We will miss Ronaldo. He was always a threat and his stats were fantastic, he is the best player in the world.

“But he was part of a good team. Everything you set out to do is about the team.

“We won’t forget what he did for us but we have players who can make the same impact.”

The most obvious examples are new boy Antonio Valencia and Ronaldo’s fellow Portugal international Nani.

EPL, Friendly

It’s a draw and Manutd didn’t lose!! Should United panic??

I don’t understand why the media give too much attention for Community Shield this season. When Manutd barely scored in last season Community Shield…nobody said that Portsmouth will fight for the title!! But…why this season when United scored 2 goals…dominated in the 1st half although without Van der Sar & Vidic…and people keeps talking about this is the end of United and everybody said that..Liverpool might win this season Premier League. Hahahahaha.. what a sick joke!! Chelsea needs a referee to make it 2-2 while United play it fair to get the result.

I watched the match..losing is hurt but I don’t think that I am worried with the result. It’s a good match for United especially in the first half. Chelsea as expected were quite slow and old… United players can easily take the ball from their leg either from the back..from side..or in front. Nothing to worry…but in the 2nd half…United players look tired and can’t continue playing the same match as 1st half. No more quick move..quick tackle..and its cost United dearly.

Afterall…it’s only a friendly match & I am feeling the same as United losing the Audi Cup against Bayern in penalty.

Hopefully… Manutd is ready for the start of season against Birmingham!! A goal feast will make everybody shut up and hopefully United can do it. Micheal Owen’s goal will make it sweeter!!

Let’s the game beginnnn….

Chelsea 2 United 2 (4-1 on pens)

The Community Shield was prised from United’s grasp in an enthralling clash at Wembley, a game that required a penalty shoot-out to separate two evenly-matched sides. Despite this defeat, 4-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in normal time, the Reds’ performance provides plenty of promise for the season ahead.

Nani had given United the lead with a long-range effort after just ten minutes, then Ricardo Carvalho equalised shortly after half-time. But in a competition that used to be called the Charity Shield, there was little charity in Chelsea’s second. As Patrice Evra lay prostrate on the ground after a bad Michael Ballack challenge, referee Chris Foy neglected to stop play and Frank Lampard scored what everyone thought was the winner. That was until substitute Ryan Giggs picked out Wayne Rooney’s run, and the Reds forward expertly finished to send the tie to the lottery of spot-kicks.

By changing the blog address… this blog also losing our PR4 status!! I don’t know either I can get it back later with this new domain!!!! I hope we can!
