United rules Manchester Again!

Man City 0 United 1

Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off for the second time in a Manchester derby, but Wayne Rooney’s first-half strike was enough to hand United all three points at Eastlands. Ronaldo’s two yellow cards – the second for a bizarre deliberate handball – meant the Reds had to play the last 22 minutes with 10 men. But City didn’t threaten until stoppage time and United held on to claim a deserved derby-day win. Sir Alex’s men controlled the game from start to finish, proving class and ability on the pitch counts for far more than wealth and ambition off it. Certainly, when City’s new owners took over in the summer, expectations in the blue half of Manchester rose astronomically. Almost immediately, the owners outlined a wish to win the Champions League within just three years. On the evidence of the 151st Manchester derby, however, City still have a lot of work to do – Manutd.com.

After back2back defeat last season, Manutd is back with a comfortable win against City. Although United fully control the match but bizarre red card for Ronaldo puzzled me a lot. Its hard to explain why Ronaldo hold the ball when he had a good chance for a clear header. I suspect he heard a whistle and would like to stop the match…but it is still weird.

Do Robinho played last night??…hahahaha… the only mark that he left in last night match is the mark at Van der Sar leg! hahaha

Overall, I am still worried with United performances this season due to lack of goals. There’re a lot of chances in every United matches but the goal is hard to come by…

Lexus Hybrid Car for PFA

Do you know that Lexus has given four Lexus RX 400h vehicles to the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) in order to help raise awareness of the hybrid cars among its players?? This Lexus has been tipped as the world’s first premium SUV to feature a hybrid power system and it comes equipped with the Lexus Hybrid Drive. What make it even better, this system enables the car to clock up to 62 mph in 7.6 seconds.

In the UK, the Lexus RX 400h hybrid car has beem sold for £35,810. The offer comes with the option of the Lexus Mulitmedia Pack which includes an 11 speaker Mark Levinson premium hi-fi, premium in-car entertainment twin DVD system and satellite navigation with touch screen control, said an auto industry news report.

The four players who will be using the hybrids would be Gareth Bale Tottenham Hotspur, Craig Gardiner Aston Villa, Micah Richards Manchester City and David Wheater Middlesbrough. Except Bale who has represented Wales, the players have donned the jersey for the England Under 21 squad at international level. No Manchester United player will be using this car… maybe because they already have their own car sponsorship with Audi.

Wonderful car…but I think…Audi is better!

Binocular to watch bird or football?

If you are planning to go bird watching in the Bird Park at Lake Garden, it is better that you are well equipped, and one of the most important pieces of equipment will be binoculars. Now birding binoculars come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and it is essential that you know how to interpret some of the specifications that you should find written on any decent pair of binoculars.

On all good birding binoculars you will find a pair of numbers separated by an “x”, for example 10 x 50. But what exactly do these figures mean? Well, the first figure indicates the magnification of the binoculars, in this example the magnification is ten times, so 5 x 50 would indicate a magnification of five times.

Top brands include Bushnell, Celestron, Meade, Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski, Nikon, Canon and others. Please also check the page about selecting the right binoculars for spotting game or wildlife.

The second figure is the diameter in millimeters of the objective lens – that is the lens that is at the wider end of the binoculars. The wider the objective lens, the more light that is let into the binoculars. So a 10 x 40 would let in more light than a 10 x 20 – in fact it would let in four times as much light because that depends on the square of the radius.

Now these two figures are very important when going about choosing a pair of binoculars.
However, don’t forget! Another important thing that you should consider while buying birding binoculars is the price. Hahaha.

Don’t forget, you can also use the binoculars to watch Manchester United play at Old Trafford too!
