Man UTD Champions

Well what a night and what a great result for the great Manchester United. I must admit that this was a much better final than I thought it was going to be, but being a Man U fan I do believe that the best side won but I am sure most people would expect me to say that. After the first 30 minutes we should have been 3 up and the game should have been out of reach but thats just not how Man U do it, as Fergie often says we do it the hard way. Well Chelsea got the equalizer just before the break and then they went on to play well in the second half but i never felt that they would go on and win. Man U were again the better team in Extra Time and Gigg’s could have won it. As for the trouble well Tevez had every right to kick the all out of play, Chelsea them self’s did this a number of times during the game, they just don’t like it when others do to them what they do to others. When it the dust settles I was so happy to see Drogba get the red card and yes he deserved it not only for the slap in the face but also for every time that he gestured for somebody else to get a card, so good bye Drogba.

So on to penalties oh and how nervous was I and at 2-2 I just knew Ronaldo would miss his penalty when will he learn just to run up to a ball and hit it with out the stopping half way up, which by the way I believe is illegal. So it all comes down to John Terry and was I happy that he missed now maybe he will keep him mouth shut in the run up to the big games. At least the next time he is shouting his mouth off I can remember him crying in Moscow. I guess Rio can stay as the England captain.

Well a great night in Moscow for all Man U fans, I just hope when I wake up in the morning we are still talking about the football and not things off the pitch.

Congratulations to Sir Alex and all at Manchester United!!!!

Man U 2 - 1 Arsenal


What a game and what a great result for Man U. Surly that is Arsenal out of the title chase now, but I will not rule them out until it is mathematically impossible.
For me Owen Hargreaves was the man of the match he never stopped running. From making the break to set up Rooney to stopping the Arsenal attack, it was like he was all over the pitch. Arsenal put up a great fight but just couldn’t score when they were on top and not for the first time this season. Rooney also missed 2 very good chance before Adebayor scored for Arsenal in the 48th minute. The came the penalty, was it a penalty? Yes I don’t think anyone can disagree with the referee there. After Lehman’s childish antic’s it was over to the wonder boy Ronaldo to step up and put the ball in the back of the net. With that goal Man U started to get on top and when Gilbero brought down Evra just out side the area everyone looked at Ronaldo. Yet it was Owen Hargreaves that stepped up and took the perfect free kick, Lehman didn’t even move. Great goal. So the title isn’t yet over but Man U are one step closer, 4 games to go and 6 points clear its looking good.

Mau U 1-0 Roma


Well it was a great game and Man U played well even with dropping a number of top Players including Rooney and Ronaldo.
It was end to end stuff for most of the game and for me Owen Hargreaves was by man of the match. On another positive note it was great to see Gary Neville back and playing.
Great result well done boys bring on Barcelona.
