This is going to be the derby of all derbies. Manchester United vs Manchester City. I will be going down to a pub today, dressed in my Manchester United best, to watch the match and support a team I have been supporting since I was a young lad. This is the deciding match and I want my beloved Manchester United to win this, hands down. It is not gonna be easy, it is not going to be a walk in the park. It is going to be a VERY intense match. Honestly. I am on tenterhooks as I write this.
I got to meet the legend, Denis Irwin from Manchester United yesterday at a closed-door event. What an honour it was. I remember him as being one of the best left-backs that Manchester United had. I met him face to face, shook hands with him and found him to be a real nice chap. He complimented me on the jersey I was wearing and asked me: “Been a Manchester United fan long?” I answered: “30 years!” He replied: “That’s good!”
There is a video of how good he was when he was in United. A legend if there ever was one.
I do not believe it. We drew with Everton at Old Trafford. Gave away two goals in two bloody minutes. First of all, Jelavic of Everton scored in the 33rd minute. Luckily Wayne Rooney levelled it in the 41st minute. We were one all then. Then came the second-half. Welbeck made it 2 -1 in the 57th minute. Nani scores in the 60th minute. I was ecstatic then. 3 – 1! It was short-lived though. Fellaini scored in the 67th minute. 3-2 was the score. Nevermind that, I thought. We should be able to get a better result, I thought optimistically. Rooney must have read my thoughts because in the 69th minute, he slammed one in! 4 – 2! I was cheering! But it was short-lived. About 14 minutes later, Jelavic scored his second goal. It then became 4 – 3 till Steven Pienaar scored two minutes later. 4 – 4! I was just totally dumbfounded. What in the heck was happening?
It looked like our defence was to blame. Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra had better days. We are on tenterhooks now. We had better hope and pray that Wolverhampton Wolves holds out against Manchester City.
A great mtch which ended with Manchester United beating Aston Villa 4 – 0. First was a penalty taken by Rooney after Ashley Young was fouled in the penalty box. After that came a second goal from Danny Welbeck. Sloppy defending from Aston Villa. Half-time and Manchester United were two goals up. When the second half began, Aston Villa began to dominate the game. Then came a third from Wayne Rooney and finally a fourth goal from Luis Nani in extra time.
Honestly, we needed this win. The fight for the Premier League trophy looks like a hare’s race between the two Manchester Clubs. We all want United to pick up the 20th. Glory Glory Manchester United!
Today marks the 54th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster that took out so many of the Busby Babes. Manchester United lost some very good players, dubbed the Flowers Of Manchester. Its a sad day for all the survivors of the crash, one of them being Sir Bobby Charlton. God bless them all.
That was close. Very close. At one point of the game, we were down by 3 goals. Strange thing is that Chelsea scored in the first half, and then had two more goals in the second-half, each within five minutes of each other. Bummer if you ever ask me. But then came two penalties for United, both times taken by Rooney. Then the final goal…beautiful pass from Giggs to Chicharito who proceeded to head it into the net! Final score: 3 – 3! At least we get a point with that draw. Honestly…United need to buck up. Lots of holes here and there…too many giveaways. We cannot last long if we carry on like this…
I got this jersey for my wife on her birthday. I really like this jersey but I think my wife likes it more. I do not care much for all the other funky-looking jerseys but I think this one is pretty sensible, even though it is not the red one. I hope that she likes it!
Paul Scholes scored just before half-time in the match against Bolton. Yes, the Ginger Prince is back! After that, the goals just piled on with Welbeck scoring the second goal and Michael Carrick scoring the 3rd. Glory Glory Manchester United!
It seems that when Thierry Henry came on as a substitute for Chamakh in the Arsenal vs Leeds match, he received a rapturous roar from the crowd. It seems that he had to wipe away tears. I felt the very same when Paul Scholes was introduced. I had to wipe away tears. These two legends prove that the club comes first. That is why these two players get my respect. Scholes came out of retirement to beef up the Manchester United midfield. He felt it in his heart that he was needed and he returned. Same with Thierry Henry. He is under contract with the Red Bulls in USA but he came back to Arsenal for two months because he felt he was needed. I have a lump in my throat now just thinking about it. Why can’t we have more people like these?
Tonight marks a sad day in our Premier League history. This marks the day when we were beat 6 – 1 by Manchester City. It did not help that Jonny Evans was sent off after pulling Mario Balotelli down and we were reduced to 10 men. It sure is not easy playing with ten men in a very intense game. We lost a battle but we have not lost the war. I am angry and sad at the same time but I will always be a Manchester United fan, till the day I die. Glory glory Manchester United!
