Manchester United 1 - Barcelona 0

It's about 2.45pm now and i am feeling so sleepy. YaWnnnnnn.....

After last night's thrilling match, i think i can tolerate sitting here for another 2 hours and 15 minutes watching Paul Scholes's goal and the match-end celebration at YouTube over and over again.

To be honest, i was losing faith after the Chelsea match. I was so afraid of dissapointment that I dun't even feel like watching the match. BUT, all talk only lah... last nite, I forced myself to sleep early. Went to bed about 10pm but couldn't sleep. Frustrated, i got up and read a book until abt 12am. At 2am my eyes automatically pop open and i was thinking okay 45 mins more, dunt panic myself. Back to sleep. Around 2.45 some buddies sms-ed me asking me to wake up! Five minutes later, another 2 sms asking if i am awake already. OKAY I AM UP !! It's quite difficult to ignore the excitement on all the fan's hearts (and also my bloody loud sms ringtone).

Paul Scholes goal was fantastic. (photo below stolen from Aaron's blog)

















After that, it was all pure anxiety watching Barca throwing attacks after attacks. And then there's the 6 minutes of injury time. It must be one of the longest 6 minutes of my life. And finally, the whistle blew and WE ARE IN THE FINALS !!!! WOOOO HOOOOOO !!! I dunt care who we meet. We will beat whoever.

Moscow Here We Come !!!

We made it !!! Manchester United made it !!! We are in the Champions League final !!!!!

Thank You Paul Scholes, Thank You Sir Alex Ferguson, Thank You to the whole team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Will tell u more about the match tommorow....i need sleep - it's 5am and i gotta wake up in 2 hours for work....

A good football weekend

Liverpool 0 - Manchester United 1 (Tevez)

It was a highly charged atmosphere at Anfield. Liverpool's tactics were all out aggresive attacks fast paced. To give them some teeny credit, they did looked very capable of scoring for the first 45 mins.

Luckily for us, Ferdinand & Vidic was in top form. I thought Evra & Anderson played exceptionally well, i can't judge who is better. Both managed to stop most of liverpool's attacks, and both of them saved Edwin Van de Sar's blushes by stopping a goal each from the goal line.

Hargreaves didnt really have a good game, but perhaps it was because Anderson was doing the job so superbly well that it overshadowed Hargo. Frontline was okay, the goal was clever play. Ryan Giggs's corner to Rooney out of the box caused chaos in Liverpool's defence. It reminds me of the Eric Cantona goal at the FA Cup Final in the 90s but of course this one needed Tevez's touch.

I didnt even realise that torres was still playing in the 2nd half. He was so quiet. Well, he picked the losing team, juz like kewell :D

The icing didn't come as Arsenal won against Chelsea. Let's see if we can stop them at Old Trafford.

And the brawl continues.....

Revenge of a loyal fan

It's amazing how a simple NOKIA standard sms alert tone can wake me up in the wee hours of the morning, whilst my alarm tone can ring non-stop and it will still sound like some kind of sedative music, making me even more sleepy whenever i hear it =)

Last night i was awaken by some sms by an MU fanatic.

At 0412 i heard beep beep, so i checked:
"Ronaldo 10 mins"
ooooh, an early goal (i thought)
Not bad.... ZZZzzzzzzz....


Then, at 0520, again beep beep:
"Ronaldo 58 mins Man Utd 2"
Okay, 2 - 0. Win already.

After a while of tossing & turning (i am now quite awake) I sent a msg over:
"Oi, FT already ? MU won 2 - 0 ?"

And i got this reply:
"Still playing. Wake up and watch. it's only 63 mins."

After some contemplation, i have decided not to leave the comfort of my cold wintery air-cond room and warm blanket BUT I CAN'T GO BACK TO SLEEP COZ I NEED TO KNOW THE FINAL RESULT !!!! Damn Jason HUE.

So i lay there, half sleeping, half awake, imagining what's going on with the match, when at about 0553, beep beep:
"Full time Old Trafford Man Utd 2"

Okay, now i can sleep peacefully. Immediately i closed my eyes and slept for another hour.

So why did some fanatic sms me when it's not even a big match title decider or the finals of Champions League ???

Well, it's all because i open my big mouth and teased that he was not a loyal MU FAN.....

This was what happened...

Few weeks ago, MU was gonna play Sporting Lisbon and he asked:

J: watching the match tonite?
C: already qualified, no need to watch lah. Prolli put all the young babies and lose 3 - 1. Waste of my precious sleep time.
J: Wah, you are not a loyal fan man. You must also watch the progress of the young babies. they are our future team you know?
C: aiyooooo i need to work lah. i dowan to purposely wake up and watch them lose...so free kah ? J: i also need to work but i will try my best to watch all of MU's matches no matter win or lose and blah blah blah (some examples of the matches he watched at 4am)

I felt a bit guilty but in the end, i still didn't wake up to watch :p

Then, the following Saturday, MU was gonna play Bolton and my fren has asked me to go for a drink at Velvet. And again, Jason msg me on MSN:

J: So....where will u be watching the match tonite?
C: not watching, im goin to Velvet
J: You rather go clubbing than to watch MU ??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

feeling abit guilty....

C: no lah, tonite got special occasion
J: wat occasion?

(God, he sounds like Sir Alex Ferguson interogating why i am not doing my duty as a fan )

Quickly log off (pretend connection failure)

2 hours later i log on again and another MU Fan msg me.

H: Hey, where r u watching the match tonite?
C: ummz, im not watching. got something to do....
H: ohh, fren's wedding ar? Understood. Many of those around at this time of the year.
C: no ler, going velvet

immediately i got the biggest reaction ever....

H: YOU RATHER GO CLUBBING THAN WATCH UR FAVOURITE TEAM PLAY ???? MU NEED YOUR SUPPORT, YOU KNOW ??? THEY ARE PLAYING AWAY AGAINST BOLTON. AWAY LAH !!! AWAY YOU KNOW ???? WHERE IS UR SUPPORT FOR THE TEAM ???

OK LAH. OK LAH. ENOUGH !!!! I WILL WATCH THE MATCH.....!!!!!!!!!

It's not like i will get any money when they win or like im some kind of lucky star that will guarantee them a win when i watch them play. &^%$# ~

Plus, the HINDRAF riot sort of help me made up my mind not to go down to KL for drinks.

Well i watched and look what happened?

THEY LOST 1 - 0
No ronaldo, no rooney. All playing like they drank 5 barrels of beers the night before. For gods sake.... No team play at all.....

One week later, last Sunday, i was on MSN again with Jason.

J: Tommorow watching or not ? 4am
C: See how lah. Monday Bluez... You keep quiet and dunt start the guilty talk !!
I am a loyal fan OKAY...
J: hahaha.....I didnt say anything also....maybe i also not watching lah. Tired.

(Revenge time.....!!! )

C: How can.... ??? ur the LOYAL FAN !!!! u must watch !!! If not how ? MU SURE LOSE WITHOUT UR SUPPORT !!!
J: You watching meh ?
C: I watch or not is not important, coz ur the MOST LOYAL one, not me :D
J: Yeah Maybe I'll watch then. BTW, I feel like getting a tattoo
C: Cool, go & tattoo the red devil on ur arm....
J: no lah, although i love them, im not so GILA
C: Lidat means u are not a loyal fan. A loyal fan must tattoo the red devil logo.
J: Where's urs ??
C: You were the one that wanted a tattoo wot..... If i want to tattoo, i will surely put the red devil logo....that's LOYAL FANS......lolzz.....
J: Ok enough ar !

And so our Jason, the most loyal MU Supporter woke up at 4am to watch the match and felt the need to share the joy with me :p

This morning.....

Jason™ United We Stand says: real fans watch live
Jason™ United We Stand says: not sleep with air con
Jason™ United We Stand says: : P

Arsenal 2 - Manchester United 2

A good display from both sides. Getting a draw at Emirates is consider very good, considering the form Arsenal was in, but of course, Manchester United is also not that far behind.

I guess the happiest team last weekend was Chelsea, who managed to close the gap while Liverpool didn't take any advantage of the draw.

Arsenal manage to subdued Ronaldo, while Hargreaves and our midfield co. manage to stop some of Arsenal's brilliant passing. A draw is a fair result although i still think we were robbed.

Let's wait for them at Old Trafford.

Manchester United go top

Manchester United 4 - Middlesborough 1

It's so nice to see the United's standings on the EPL table now although we are only there for 24 hours.

It was a thrilling match from the start.













Nani's goal. What can I say except WOW ? We'd really like to see more goals like that in the matches to come. I just hope he won't be put in the cold freezer for his elaborated celebration.










Our two small sized striker, getting better with every game. Rooney has been scoring consistenly in the last few matches and I'm glad Tevez is scoring goals to boost up his confidence.









Hargreaves was back from injury and I really like his style of playing. His aggresiveness in getting the ball back and tackles was a joy to watch. It's been some time since we saw this kind of display, not since the days of Roy Keane.

Ronaldo was abit quiet last night. Probably tired?

Anderson fitted in well, Pique had a late run replacing Ferdinand.

Overall, it looks like all our new signings are fitting well into the team.

I look forward to next weekend's showdown against Arsenal.

Top two teams, both playing so well. It will be a great match.

Champions League Result

This week Champion's League matches produced some amazing result.

Ferdinand scoring again ? wow....!! he's on a roll and so is rooney & ronaldo....
i didn't watch the match and i still haven't check out Youtube to see the goals, abit bz these few days.

Arsenal gunned down Slavia Prague 7 - 0 .... whoa.... I wonder if they can get a similiar scoreline against Liverpool this weekend ? I am looking forward to the match.

The best news is Liverpool is almost out of the Champions League with one point from 3 matches. We can now stop hearing chants of "we are the best team in England & Europe with 5 European cups" for the next few days. As usual, they are unusually busy :D

Aston Villa 1 - Manchester United 4

Goals by Rooney (2), Ferdinand, Giggs

What a wonderful midfield display ! For the first time this season I found nothing bad to say about Tevez, he was brilliant ! They are working well together. I particularly like those nice little 1 - 2 touches by Nani, Tevez, Giggs, Rooney & Scholes.

Rooney continued where he left with England. Too bad he didn't get his hattrick but he should save some energy for the Gunner's game in 2 weeks time. It will be a great game to watch, 2 teams playing so well.

The best thing about this match is it helped me win some $ !!! My first win with MU this season! I seldom bet on MU coz it's too emotional lah, imagine you see them losing and you urself lose money but sometimes emotions do get the best of me and even though i know they won't win I am still stubborn enough to place bets on them. A perfect example will be the MU v Milan match in last season's Champion's League. I didn't want to wake up at 3am to see them losing but this small, tiny, little hope candle was alight in my heart and I ended up watching the entire match, hoping till the final whistle that they can produce the miracle of 1999. Not only I lost my precious sleep, i lost $ (double whammed!) but all these can't be compared to the poo fans taunts:

"ha ha ha, champions in the domestic league but a mouse in europe"
(whatever the mouse means, no mood to decipher the meaning)

"let liverpool show you how to play at europe lah. We are after all the 5 times WINNERS"
(yeah, got thrashed by Milan didnt they? )

"You think ur team is like us, can comeback like we did at Istanbul ? It will be a repeat of Istanbul ! We will be the WINNER. Your MU can take the cheap league title, the europe cup is more important, more prestigious more bla bla bla"
(If i have to hear the ISTANBUL word again .......!)

Manchester United 4 - Wigan 0

WOW............!!!

Didn't waste a single-minute-of-my-sneaking-out-time from a wedding dinner to watch the match.

*keke* ShhhHHHHhh...!! It was a boring dinner lah.... i dunno the couple at all, i juz went coz my friend wanted some company, perhaps he didnt want ppl to ask when's his turn and all the usual questions other couples feel they need to ask because they are so blissfully happy in a relationship and think it's a crime to be single....

OKAY....umm.... a lil carried away there...next post will be about that...(maybe)

To be honest i thought they were heading for another one-nil win especially with the injuries to Vidic & O'Shea but Pique & Simpson were brilliant. Nice goals from Tevez, Ronaldo (2) + Rooney.

I'm so glad the momentum's back. I hope Vidic's injury not that serious but on the bright side, we have a 2 weeks break from the EPL so by that time, hopefully MY handsome Hargreaves will be back to score his first goal for United. I will be waiting patiently.

Birmingham v Manchester United

Date: 30 September 2007
Time: 0015

Another one of United's own, Steve Bruce's team against Manchester United this week. It should be the same line-up as the one that faced Chelsea last weekend, with Hargreaves only making the bench. I want to see goals ! goals ! goals!
A 1 - 3 for United.

Manchester United 2 - Chelsea 0

We won !! We won !!

Tevez got his first goal for United, Saha converted from a penalty.

A well deserved 2 - 0 win against the blues. For the first time this season, I finally see some good attacking passes and full points to Carrick, who produced two accurate passes to Giggs. We are now second on the table behind the Gunners who's having a good start to the season as well.

Anyone miss mourinho and his mouth ?

Manchester United v Chelsea

LIVE on 23rd September 2007, 2300 M'sia time

Hargreaves & Neville are both still out. SAF should try to start with 2 strikers, Rooney + Tevez or Saha. With the moaner gone and the new coach taking over, it won't be easy as Avram Grant will be looking to score some points with the fans and what better way to do it than to beat Manchester United at home in his first game in charge for the blues.

I heard Chelsea will be without Lampard & Drogba.

Prediction: United to win 3 - 1 (i really wanna see some goals)

Sporting Lisbon 0 - Man Utd 1

Overall nothing spectacular about this match except Van De Sar's fantastic goalkeeping and Ronaldo's goal. The special moment was when the Sporting fans all stood up and cheered for Ronaldo when he was substituted. Rooney's still lacking match fitness, but he was hardworking and it's good to see him back.

Sporting Lisbon v Manchester United

Champions League Group F First Phase

Wed, 19th September 2007

The first Champions League game for United this season. Nani & Ronaldo returns to their old club while we welcome back Wayne Rooney and another 2 no match fitness strikers - Tevez & Saha.

Hargreaves is out :(

Good Luck lads.

Everton 0 - Manchester United 1

ya lah ya lah...another single-goal triumph but it's good enough to take them to third place and it's good enough for all the Man Utd fans all there, considering there was no striker to finish all the perfect crosses from midfield. Well, it's not as perfect as when David Beckham was there, but they did conquer the midfield, as the possession percentage will tell you.

It's also not much difference from the first 5 games. They needed a set-piece to score, this time from a corner and Vidic (so handsome btw) headed it in. Tevez did have a moment when he could have scored a magnificent goal from far away and make up for all his crappy performances earlier. To be fair to him, I guess he made a difference in the midfield. We do conquer the midfield. But we need strikers. Saha was brilliant when he came in. Nice control.

Our defence was great. Rio, Vidic, Brown & Evra & Van De Sar - Nice

Everton v Manchester United

Venue: Goodison Park
Time: 1200 UK time/1900 KL time

Ronaldo & Rooney's back. Hargreaves/Giggs are both doubtful.
Although i do not fancy sitting through another 90 minutes watching them creating chances after chances with no finishing, i'll still be there.
I am hoping for a goal feast. Perhaps a 3 - 1 win to Man Utd ?

Manchester United 1 - Sunderland 0

We are definately lacking of a striker.....tevez is really crap..........where is he playing ?? Is he a midfielder ? He plays too deep. if it wasn't for Saha, we will never get the goal.

Hargreaves was magnificent as usual, won all the tackles and even had a goal in target. It will be very soon before he score his first goal for United.

Is there a possibility to sell Tevez in the January transfer window? For most of the first half, I couldnt even see if he was on the field. I dun't think he is adapting well. Better not push it. Sell him. Find another no name striker will be a better bet.

For all the 5 games United has played, there was no finishing. Let's hope the next game against Everton will be better with Ronaldo back.

But the ending was all good and i'd love to get my hands on the photo of Ferguson walking together with Roy Keane. It just looks so real and nice.
