Champions League Round-Ups

Manchestered — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 05:46:15 +0000

It wasn’t the best performance by the lads, as they always do lately. Although we’re ‘beaten’ (considering the away goal rules at the Champions League) at home 2-2, we still have the chance to pass to the semi at Porto’s playground next week. Although i must admit, it’s a huge task to ask.

As a good reading, Republik of Mancunia rounds our season so far in term of fixtures, and here’s the brilliant part which all United fans should aware of:

However, it’s nice to see that in the four games more than Arsenal, the five games more than Chelsea, and the six games more than Liverpool, we’ve lifted two more trophies already.

Yeah. Our season is not that bad. We still have more to go and more to get. Premiere League trophy will be the coolest, but adding FA Cup and Champions League to our trophy cabinet will not that bad (of course haha).

On other games in the Champions League, the sometimes confidence but mostly cracking up kop beaten at home by Chelsea 1-3 (lol), while Barcelona massacre Bayern 4-0 at the Nou Camp. Now that is scary.

Now let’s move on. Our next game is Sunderland away at the Premier League. A win will sweeten our weekends for sure. Let’s do it lads, let’s win this game.

Come on United!

Champions League Draw

Manchestered — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:40:18 +0000

The Reds are drawn against Porto. No Reds will forget self proclaimed special one dancing at Old Trafford when they equalized in the final minute that later become European Champions. Anyway, we will face opponents both in quarter, and if we pass, the semis at home in the first leg. Potential opponents in the semis are Arsenal or Villareal. Bring them on.

In other part of the draws, there comes favorites Barcelona against strong Germany side Bayern Munchen, while 2 other English sides Chelsea and Liverpool faces each other. Whatever.

Good draws indeed.

Anyways, Fulham is next in the EPL this weekend. Time to forget last weekend’s lost and retain the EPL medal. Remember we’re the reigning Champions, 4 points clear and a game in hand against the nearest enemy.

Come on United!

The Not So Special One Going Home Beaten

Manchestered — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:17:58 +0000

It wasn’t the best performance but if i had to choose, i’d rather win ugly than dominating but failed to score.

In my view, the much hyped game last night wasn’t as classic as media predicted. Although it was actually nervy at times seeing our veteran midfielder, Paul Sholes, often misspasses. However, early 1st half goal from Vidic gave me huge relieve and the rest was history. You can read complete match report at the official site.

There’s also a special Manager’s Column in the official site where SAF explains what happened at the Inter game. You need to log in to One United to read the new news feature.

After beaten, the not so special one seems like lost his patient.

Next game is Liverpool at home this weekend, bring on the bastards!

Come on United!
