Arsenal were low of Ammo,.

I could not believe it that United played realy well last night. I expected too play good but not that great after a tough time at the weekend. They started the first half like a thunder and stroke the first goal on the 17th minute by John O'Shea.

The rest is history.

United dominated the procedding and made the gunners like an amateur. Arsenal tried to attack with so little effect. They were keep at bay and threw everything with their substitutions. I don't know wheter this was their plan or it just the fact that they could not cope with the experience United have on this level. Especially..that strike on the second half by Ronaldo which hit the bar so hard. Almunia just stood and hope..What interesting was that last night Tevez seems to refused and look dissappointed when he was subtituted by Berba. Tevez did play good last night even though he lost ball on occasion but overall he played hard and good. Mean while, Fletcher and Carrick were superb on the middle of the park. The key point for United last night was that they always cut Arsenal attack on the middle. United defense seems to be able to stopped Walcott from making any impresion. Rooney were quite busy last night helping up Evra. Job well done though.

Well,.the most important player of all is John O'Shea. The unsung hero at OT did it again. What a crucial goal it was. It seems like he just swing his right foot and beat Almunia. Thanks to a very poor defending by Arsenal. 

Wow..just like last season when United beat Arsenal on the FA cup, only this time they did not score that many goal.

Anyway, what the second leg will be like??

maybe United will play a different game compare to last night.Maybe they should not trying to defend this advantage all 90 minute.They have to try to hit Arsenal whenever they can and make it count. Otherwise.....I hope not.

Here we go AGAIN

English clubs RULE Europe..Not its national team of course..

Just like last season, Barcelona faced an English club on the semi final of the Champions league. Last time it was MU- who came out as the eventual winner- this year is Chelsea. Last night on the first leg, the final result was the same as United last year on the Nou camp, goalless draw. Chelsea had the bigger chance of making it to the final as they will play at Stamford bridge for the second league.

With United will play Arsenal tonight, there will be a huge possibilities that we are going to see an All English final AGAIN fot the second year in the row. 

huuuufff.

It was good for United fans and english fans but it might not be too good for the football lovers all over Europe and around the world.

English clubs are bigger than the National Team.!!!!

Preview: United vs Arsenal

Its UEFA Champions League night,

After playing a very intense match last weekend, now United must turn their attention once again to the Champions league where they will face Arsenal on the first leg of the all-english semi final at OT. 

What are the odds??

As far as I concern, I think Arsenal is in a good form coming to this match after a 2-0 win over Boro last Sunday with braces from Cesc. Arshavin is in a good form as well, not too mention Nasri,Walcott,and Adebayor. Arsenal do have the threat and will be a great threat for United as always. United must not start this match as they did againts Porto at OT. United must be aware of their threat from the wings with Walcott and Arshavin occupied these two sides. Arsenal on the other hand, do have a quite funerable defensive line. With Silvestre and Toure on the middle of the park, United can exploite these two players as they both are rarely convincing on defence. United must go for it. 

Well, It is a big game after all. United has already lost a match to Arsenal earlier this season at Emirates. So, who will win this first of three meeting in as many days.

Tottenham Hotspurs  3 - 5 Manchester United....

Do you still remember that scoreline??

Yes.It was a final score of a quite legendary United comeback againts spurs in 2001. At White Hart Lane, United were 3-0 down at half-time to a very decent looking Spurs' side. Goals from Richard, Ferdinand, and Ziege stunt United.

But as always, United stroke back at the second half, with Beckham scoring the fifth goal.

So,

Last night probably was a very similiar match to that one in 2001 but not quite the exact.

I don't know what Sir Alex told his boys at half-time during the two occasions, but it ceratintly worked.

Are we there YET??

Another 3 points last night, takes United to the top of the table once again, with two games in-hand. A very inspirational play from United on the second half, especially from Wazza has stunt Spurs. After a very much quite first half from United, they came out that dressing room and "killed" Spurs once and for all.

Two goals for United, by Rooney and Berba respectively was not the cleanest of goal. But..who cares???it is still counted after all. Overall, I think the second half performance was the kind of performance that I really expected United to show for the next four aor five games including three matches againts Arsenal. They played with hunger, desire, and POWER. Most important of all, they played LIKE A CHAMPION!!

A Nervous 3 Points!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeees...

We moved three points clear last night with a nervous victory over The Pompey at OT.
Rooney scored the goal at the beginning on the first half and Carrick scored the second 8 minutes before the end. With Liverpool drew the night before and Chelsea drew againts Everton. This situation really favoured us to win the tittle for the recod 11th time.

The only concern will be about Arsenal. They played well and in such a high confidence coming a busy date with United..

April and May will be a crucial month on the title race. If United can keep winning while Liverpool and Chelsea keep slipping, then we will get our trophy again...

Watch out for Arshavin!!

Last night BPL match between Liverpool and Arsenal could be the end of hibernation time for a "bear" from Russia in the name of Arshavin. He scored all four goals for Arsenal in the 4-4 draw at Anfield. At least one of which was a great goal.

What it means for United??

I think ahead of their semi-final clash in the UCL, United must really be aware and worry about the threat that Arshavin could cause United. He might still have a lack of consistency, but he could show some great display of skill and finish just like last night. He has good movement, speed and control on the ball. United have to keep an close eye on him just like want they want to do to Fabregas, Nasri and Adebayor. 

Dear oh Dear Sir Alex & Berba

      Last night FA cup semi-final againts Everton, arguably one of the most boring match that United has played this season. They started the match with mostly reserve team with the likes of Macheda, Wellback, Fabio, Gibson and Rafael. They did not get to their rhytim straight away but as the match goes on they did get to it. But unfortunately United attacking prodigy was not to be decisive last night. In fact, it took a penalty-shootout to decide who will play Chelsea on the final. 

But, my real concern last night was not about the team selection in particular because it seems like they had cope really well with Everton first team. I am concern about Berbatov's penalty kick. United bought hin for almost 30 million pound and you have got to be a some player if you cost United that much. But then last night, he took the first penalty for United and then........like a girl who kick the ball slowly and gently. What a bad penalty it was. For a striker of his quality and height, it was so bad that I could not believe.

  Why Sir Alex choose him to be the first taker??Tevez was the ussual suspect for it and he was available last night.Dear oh dear......

Maybe United are tired of facing Chelsea or maybe they did not want the FA cup...Only Sir Alex knows

Is it Possible??

A victory againts Porto has sent United through to the Semi Final with Arsenal as their next opponent. It is set to be a mouth-watering match in prospect for both team as they face each other for the first in the UCL. Will United overcome the gunners??

If they do, United will be totally on-track to achieve what many feels impossible by winning five trophies in a season because we are still alive in the FA cup and BPL.

I think it will be quite a task but who knows. United were always capable of pulling out some spectacular result and makes the impossible happen.

Another 3 English Clubs on The Semi

AMAZING!!

That is all i can say after watching last night match between Chelsea againts Liverpool. A 4-4 draw was an amazing scoreline regarding the history between theses two in the recent seasons of Champions league. Liverpool played a great football with fantastic goal scored. Chelsea on the other hand came to this match with a strong 3-1 lead from the first leg. But....The Kop seems really confidence last night only loosing to their own defensive display last night.With Barcelona also made it through to the last four, Chelsea will be the one to face them. My question will be if United win the match tonight and Arsenal also made it trough it will be another 3 English club on the semi for second year in the row. I dont think it will be good for football but what can i say.I think almost all good and great players nowadays are prefering to have a carrrer in England. That is why they are so strong.

When will the English national team can turn to be as strong as the clubs that play in England especially the big fours???

Repeating 1998/1999

10 years ago was probably the most wonderful season in Manchester United history. Exactly in 1998/1999 season, we finish the season with 3 trophies and famously called the treble season. We won EPL,FA cup and Champions league. The drama of that season were pretty much priceless even until now.

Today,after a decade, 2008/2009 season could be and maybe will be the season when United could repeat that sweet memory. In fact, United are now still competing on three competition which are BPL, FA cup and UCL. With FIFA club world cup and Carling cup title are already on the trophy cabinet, can United win the other 3 and make a history by wining five trophies in a season.

Will they do it????

any comment??

Preview: Porto vs ManUtd

Manchester United squad has arrived at Portugal to play a "very"confidence Porto side on the second leg of the quarterfinal of Champions League tomorrow night. After a 2-2 draw a week ago on the first leg, United will be looking to streghten their defensive line to avoid conceding the first goal because if that happen there will be a mountain to climb for the Red Devils. 

United arrived in Portugal with their full team and looking to hit Porto right from the first whistle. In my opinion, what United should do is that they must try to play in a lot more compose way compare to the first leg. They must try to keep the ball more rather that clumsily giving it away to the opponent because to be honest, I think Porto were very dangerous on the counter attack and they also have the tendency on keeping the ball well and then attacked United effectively. Also, United must really really convert any good chance to goal because playing away from home will be a very tough task let alone getting too many clear cut chances. So, take the chance befor it haunted them back. If United are not careful, they might well end up loosing the match and kicked out of this season Champions league.

As a loyal United fan, I always hope for the best for The Red Devils and hopefully they can become the first team to retain the title successfully...

Goooo Man U.....

Macheda,New Wonder Kid???

Federico Macheda,

Who would've thought that this 17 years old striker from Rome would be a hero for United when he scored an injury time goal againts Villa last week. Personally, I never heard or even know him before. But then just like lighting from the sky,.Boooom...He stroke the ground not only once but twice. Because last night he scored another goal for United againts Sunderland deflecting Carrick's shot to the back of the net with his second touch.So,.....will Macheda be The New Wonder Kid at OT or just an "instant" wonder kid??

Thats the qustion that I think spinning around United fans right now. Frankly, I think he could be a great player if he can keep playing well instead of got carried away with his current momentum. He hasn't show his entire playing skill as a striker but I think he could become the new "predator" at OT. 

go Kiko!!
