It is hard to say what happen next??..hahahaha

Take a look at this leaked photo..

If this is true, it seems that, Manchester United’s shirt for the 2012-13 Premier League season will be a Scottish tartan design — possibly to honor Sir Alex Ferguson’s 25 years in charge of the Old Trafford club.

At first I thought it is a fake…but after looking at the ‘Forged in Industry, Striving for Glory’, text embossed in the neckline…..emm…maybe it is true after all…

Rooney is a scouser and was born in Croxteth, which is a suburb of Liverpool in 1985. The family is of Irish descent and are Catholic. Rooney attended a Catholic school. He played football for Liverpool Schoolboys until he was 15 and famously scored 72 goals in a single season.

Between the ages of 9 and 15 Rooney played for Liverpool Schoolboys and scored record numbers of goals. Spotted by a scout he joined Everton ages nine and made his first appearance with them as an unused substitute in 2002.

The following year he played his first game and in that October his first goals were in a match against Wrexham; he scored twice and became the club’s youngest ever goal scorer.

In 2004, aged 18, he left Everton to sign for Manchester United. The transfer fee was a massive £25.6 million. In his first match with United he scored three goals in a Champions League match against Fenerbahce. With 11 league goals, he was the club’s top scorer that year. To date Rooney has scored 147 goals for United, his best season being 2009-10 when he scored an astonishing 34 goals.

He is also the youngest England player when he debuted in 2003 aged 17. He was also the youngest goal scorer. He has appeared for England 70 times and has scored 26 goals.

Rooney has always courted controversy and has a petulant nature. He also has a thuggish personality and uses foul language. He is alleged to have frequented with prostitutes on several occasions. His innate violent nature has landed him in trouble both on and off the pitch despite having taken a number of anger management courses in an attempt to tame his inner beast; it takes little to make him flare up.

Rooney has come a long way from that small house on the Croxteth estate. He now lives with his wife Coleen in a mansion in a Cheshire village which is reputed to have cost £4.25 million.

We still a child back then and nobody can stop us to dream on being the top footballer. But..time by time we know that everything is simply just a dream and we start to take it as a joke.

It is actually the different between MAN & CHILDREN!!

So, when Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny believes it was a mental battle in which he beat Wayne Rooney, I don’t know either I should laugh or not.
It is a prove on how childish the Arsenal players could be.

“I did prepare myself for a Rooney penalty before the game. I actually decided to try to delay him, show him my presence and hope for the best. Maybe my presence put him off and made him miss it. It’s obviously a mental battle between the goalkeeper and the striker, a psychological battle, so I tried him and stand off my line for as long as possible, until the referee put me on the line. Then I made myself big and he missed.”

Can you believe it, that’s all it takes to cause Wayne Rooney to balloon the ball over the bar.. You don’t even have to dive the right way when he kicks it!

Evra is correct once again… United vs Arsenal will always be the match between man & children!

“For me, Arsenal is a football training centre. You watch the match, you enjoy it, but are you going to win a title afterwards? That’s what people remember. It has been five years since they won anything and for a big club like Arsenal, that is a crisis.

“I hear them being compared to Barcelona but people in 20 years’ time aren’t going to remember Arsenal’s football. We can lose against them but at the end of the day, what is there for Arsenal? There is nothing. There are no trophies, there is nothing. Our real enemy is Chelsea. We are more concerned with Chelsea’s results than those of Arsenal, even if we know Arsenal are a great team who can beat Chelsea, us or anyone.”

It is not the first time Evra has mocked the Londoners. In 2009, the Frenchman described a Champions League tie as “11 men against 11 children” when United beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates stadium and knocked them out of Europe.

COOL!!

While talking about Bebe..he rated him above Nani.

He will not be as good as Ronaldo but will be better than Nani. Somewhere in between. But he will be humble and he will learn. He will be like a little boy with Ferguson. He will just wait for the orders. Then, one day, he will explode on the field.’

The Johor Religious Council adviser and the Mufti of Perak both state that images of crosses, liquor brands and devils on football shirts are an insult to Allah and should not be worn by Muslims.

“There is no excuse for wearing such garments because it means, as a Muslim, you are idolising the symbol of another religion,” Datuk Nooh Gadot, the Mufti of Johor, said.

The Mufti of Perak, Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria, said that Muslims wearing such football shirts “leads to a path of sin” because displaying the symbol of another faith means the wearer is prioritising that faith over Islam.

Haha…

I don’t want to get emotional about this issue..but its quite sad(or funny maybe..??) when football has been mixed up with religion. If wearing red devil means encourage devil worshiping. Then.. how about wearing the image of moon?? Can we said…its encourage Moon worship?? or the image of animals that could encourage animal worship??? Or the the image of Prime Minister?? Emmm…

How about United just change their crest same as the old one??

Take a look at this.. Manutd badge – history;

1) City of Manchester Coat of Arms: Worn on United shirts in Cup Finals up until 1970′s. Still worn today on official the Manchester United team blazers. Got the images of antelope & lion… maybe cannot – animal worship??.

2) Before the Red Devil arrived this appeared in merchandise during the 1960′s. features the ship and lines from the Manchester Coat of Arms… but not in United jersey.

3) In 1970 the Manchester United badge featured it’s famous devil symbol for the first time, replacing the three yellow stripes.. This had been the team’s nickname ever since Matt Busby adopted it for the club a few years earlier. He wanted to strike fear into his opponents with a new nickname as he felt the Busby Babes would not do this. He actually got the name from the Salford City Reds rugby league team who were givien the nickname Les Diables Rouges (The Red Devils) by the French media after a tsuccessful tour of the country in 1934.

4) The badge pretty much remained unaltered for 28 years – United’s kit manufacturer in the mid-eighties adidas did briefly replace the curly bits on the top banner with a pair of football boots, but the club quickly returend to the more traditional banner soon after. In 1998 the badge lost the “Football Club” from the banner and replaced it with “United” which of course was taken from the top banner. The new design was created in an effort to turn Manchester United into brand, it seemed like the club no longer wanted to known as ‘just’ a football club, a school of thought that didn’t sit well with many United fans at the time.

So, make your choice and pass it to your Mufti for approval..then send it to Glazer..hehehhe..

Before that happen…. I will keep wearing Manchester United shirts with current logo and crest!!

The famous octopus correctly predicted the outcome of all of Germany’s seven matches in the tournament, and also plumped for Spain to lift the trophy to give all 100% correct prediction – 8 out of 8.

This made him an instant hero in Spain, and now Madrid’s Zoo says it wants to put Paul on display in its aquarium.

But Oberhausen’s Sea Life centre said there was no chance of Paul being sold.

Ever since Paul predicted Spain’s triumph in the month-long tournament in South Africa, he has become a celebrity in Spain.

Fans watching last Sunday’s final in Madrid sported mini-Pauls on their T-shirts and squidgy replicas on top of their hats.

The octopus is already an honorary citizen of one Spanish town, and a summer festival in Paul’s name is being planned in the country.

Even Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero stepped in to offer protection, after bitter German fans threatened to eat Paul for predicting Germany’s defeat in the semi-final against Spain.

One Spanish fan said that Paul should replace the bull, which is often seen on Spanish flags.

“The octopus has done more [good] things that the bull,” the fan said.

But sadly for many Spaniards, Paul is staying home in Oberhausen.
