Lost Against Chelsea --- Is it The End?

Yesterday, we lost 2-1 against Chelsea. With two more games left.. is this the end of our title chase?
The last two games are against West Ham at home and against Wigan away. We lost three times against West Ham in the last three matches and Wigan proofed hard to beat at their home.

I just hope we can move on from this lost and get two wins to become champions...

Come on... Manchester United

Barcelona - Man Utd 1st Semi Result (0-0)

First leg champions league between Manchester United and Barcelona is over. The final result is a draw (0-0).

Personally I am disappointed with the way Man utd play. Barcelona played some good football and actually they deserve to win. From my point of view, Man Utd play defensive and I don't like it. Man Utd should play attacking football.

I know the strategy they using was the same against Roma, tight defense and counter attack. However lost the ball easily in the middle, miss passing and so on, I almost cannot watch it. Man..., in 90 minutes Barcelona keep attacking and make me worry. Messi particularly play very well, Yaya Toure also play some good football. In statistics, Barcelona play much much better than us.

The good thing for Man Utd is we didn't concede a goal. Defensive players and the goalkeeper play very good. Ronaldo and Rooney in other hand not in their good form. I think the best player for us is Rio Ferdinand. Paul Scholes also play a good game.

We should gone up front in first half, unfortunately Ronaldo miss a penalty and didn't get the second one. I just hope in 6 days at Old Trafford we can win the game but before that beat Chelsea and make us premier league champion.

Man Utd - Barcelona (first round)

Today we have the first leg of champions league against Barcelona at Nou Camp. The team went to Barcelona with full strength. If I'm not mistaken we only miss Louis Saha, even Fletcher and Gary are in the team that go to Barcelona.

I really hope we can get good result in there. A win is fantastic, but draw is enough as long as we score away goal. Barcelona will be the real test for Manchester United. Sir Alex and many people said this is the best team in Champions League, now we need to proof that. Our first obstacle is Barcelona and after that beat Liverpool or Chelsea in the final.

Actually, I am not worry about Barcelona. They are not in the best condition this year, many problems arise. They also miss Ronaldinho, one thing we must aware is Messi back in the team. Today he is Barca's soul. Beside  him, I think we must watch Bojan. Since broke the first team, he was really dangerous in front and scored some good goals. They also have many good players, but they will miss their captain. It must affect their defense.

Our defense this year is really good, if they play like that so our chance to progress to final is really big. Both team are attacking minded, it should be an open game and could get many goals here.

Go Manchester United.... come on Man Utd fans... give your support, this year is our year. Believe that!!

Huh I Hate Brad Friedel.... Why Always Him...

Guys, all of you Man Utd fans around the world. Do you ever ask to yourself that why Brad Friedel always in his top form when facing Man Utd...? Do you feel the same way as I am? He just did that again when Man Utd Vs Blackburn last Saturday. And as you know, the match is over with 1-1 draw. Luckily Carlos Teves our hero for that day scored a great goal and make Man Utd hold Blackburn a level. But why Brad Friedel Always in his top form when his team against Man utd. Don't you agree?

Our destiny......

On Saturday, we will face Blackburn. It will be a tough game. Personally I think Man Utd wil get a draw. Of Course I want Man U win the game and one step closer to premier league champion. Blackburn has great manager (Mark Hughes) and some great players in Benni McCarthy, Roque Santa Cruz, David Bentley and many more.

Some good news for Man Utd, Vidic and Nani already recover. Both can play against Blackburn. Another good news is Wes, Rio and Michael Carrick ready to sign new contract with Manchester United. Hope this can give us extra strength into the finish line of premier league and champions league

New to you (Rodrigo Possebon)

I am planning to post Manchester United young player every week. Today we don't know them but maybe in the future they will become our hero. All the pictures and profile I got from www.manutd.com and other resources

First player I want to put it here is our new signing in January, Rodrigo Possebon from Brazil.

Birthdate : 13 February 1989
Birthplace : Sapucaia do Sul, Brazil
Position : Midfielder
Joined united : 31 January 2008

Elegant and composed in possession but full of energy, Rodrigo Possebon is an archetypal box-to-box midfielder.

He has Italian passport that make him don't need a work permit. Since his arrival he made very good impressions

The youngster's neat performance carried some promise, leading Academy Manager Brian McClair to admit: "It looks as if he's got quite a bit of talent."

Former Reds defender Arthur Albiston said "Rodrigo will progress to the first team next year. He’s very elegant, has a great touch on the ball and a decent physique."

Let's hope the lad can progress well and become our key player in the future

Chelsea vs Wigan (1-1)

When I saw the result, I was thinking... yessss... this is the result I'm waiting for. Four games to go, Man Utd lead by five points. Excellent week for Man Utd.

Thanks to Steve Bruce and his squad, they don't gave up 'till the end. Right now I hope Chelsea lost or at least draw against Everton. This time I hope Phillip Neville can do that :) Of course we still have to win against Blackburn whatever the result.

I just love if we can beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and get the premiership title there, they did once at Old Trafford, so I hope this time ours.

Oh man, I love this.... just hope Chelsea slip tomorrow :) it make my day become more brighter

Go Man Utd Go!!!!!!!!!

Man Utd vs Arsenal - Do or Die game?

This Sunday at Old Trafford very big game coming. With 5 games left, and one of the game is away against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, I think this is the most important game for Man Utd. We need to win this game no matter what. If we lose or draw, then our chance to retain premier league champion will be hard.

I think we will get draw when we go to Stamford Bridge on April 26. So, if we win the game against Arsenal we still 3 points in front of Chelsea (I think we will win against Blackburn) with 2 games left. If that happen, I think we can consider ourselves as the champion. That's why I think today game is do or die game, not only for Man Utd but also for Arsenal.

Cristiano Ronaldo for another double?

Ronaldo has been nominated for the PFA Player's Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year for 2008. I think he deserves more than those, he deserves European Player of the Year and World Player of the Year.

He is amazing this year, just see the goal and the record... He already become a legend for Man Utd. The good thing is he only 23 years old. I hope he will stay at Old Trafford for long long time.

One thing I am curious, is there any age limit for young player of the year award? Coz Ronaldo already 23 years old. In the past, I think the oldest player who received the award is 21 years old. Well please correct me if I'm mistaken. Another thing about young player shortlist, why no Anderson in it? Personally, I think Anderson deserves the award. The lad is amazing this year, this season is his debut at premier league and only 19 years old but he already play important part in our midfield.

Our Man Utd Wonderkid Andersonnnn

He looks like Ronaldinho, but he's not him....
He has a great pace like Ryan Giggs, but he's not him...
He can pass like Paul Scholes, but he's not him....
He came from Brazil....
He is just 18 years old....
That's why he is a wonderkid.....
Our wonderkid, Man Utd's wonderkid....
Anderson...!!!! Anderson....!!!!
Why don't you score a goal??? =P

Roooooney...,a Great Player Without a Killer Instinct!!!

I believe Wayne Rooney is a great player. He has wonderfull skills, pace and he can break the defense of the opponent.
But can't you see something that Wayne Rooney lack of?
It's a killer instict to score a goal! For being a striker, I believe he must have the killer instinct in front of the goal.
There were a lot of chances in front of the goal, but too bad he can't make it into a goal.
Come on Rooney I belive you can do better and better!!!
Just improve his finishing skills and he will be the best player in the world.
Don't you all agree with me?

Manchester United will rule the Europe again!

This is the time for Manchester United to rule the Europe again. Do you feel it? Well, I didn't
watch the champions league game against Roma today, but from the news I read and also from the starting lineup I can't stop thinking this year we will win the champions league again.

Can you imagine we won 1-0 against Roma without Ronaldo, Scholes and Evra. Rooney also came out from the bench. When I saw this lineup I thought it was very risky, but in the end we win 1-0, thanks to a goal by Tevez. This is the proof that Man Utd have deep squad this time and I think we can win the champions league this time.

One think that make me worry is our defence, after the Boro game we don't have both our centreback. We already miss Vidic around three weeks and Rio also doubt for today game. However after today game my worries are gone. We got Silvestre and Gary back. Silvestre play for 90 minutes and Gary came on as substitute. Besides we got very good and young defender in Gerard Pique, I think he is really good and Sir Alex shoud give him more chance in the first team.

So, after defence don't become a problem, our chance to rule Europe this time become bigger. We got excellent midfield and very good striker and more than capable goalkeeper. In the end this year will be the year of Manchester United

Glory Manchester United!
