The Treble is Still On!

Barrie — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:03:46 +0000

Wayne Rooney turned provider as he setup Javier Hernandez inside 5 minutes to give Manchester United the lead in the tie last night with Marseille.

Between his first and second goal, Marseille’s chances were limited, although Andre-Pierre Gignac could have done better when one-on-one as he harmlessly lofted the ball over Edwin van der Sar’s goal, and Souleymane Diawara had a great opportunity to head home from a corner. Instead, the ball came off the side of his head and well wide. Former United defender Gabriel Heinze also missed with a headed chance.

Javier Hernandez added a second with quarter of an hour to go in what was set to seal the deal, until Wes Brown headed into his own net from a corner with 7 minutes remaining. There were nerves around Old Trafford, but Manchester United held on to progress into the final eight.

Didier Deschamp’s side were poor over two legs and didn’t cause too much threat. But the main talking point after last night’s game has been Javier Hernandez and what a star he’s turning out to be. The young Mexican now has 16 goals in all competitions this season; more than Wayne Rooney but 4 short of Dimitar Berbatov’s tally.

With this strike force, United are well-equipped to lift some silverware come the end of the season. Currently leading the Premier League, in the semi finals of the FA Cup and now into the quarter finals of the Champions League. How many trophies will Manchester United win this season?

1 Win 1 Loss, Unbeaten Ends

Manchestered — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 15:09:11 +0000

After battering Aston Villa 3-1 at home that saw Rooney finally scored 2 from an open play, we lost to Wolverhampton away. Good times always come to an end, that includes unbeaten run.

Still, top of table! Come on you Reds!

We Beat Stoke

Manchestered — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 03:57:41 +0000

So we sent Stoke City and their rude fans back home empty handed thanks to tricky goal by Chicharito and Nani’s 2nd half cracking shot.

Ahead of the game, I was a bit surprised to see the exclusion of Rio, Wayne and Edwin, but at the end the lads play quite well. Nani and Rafael was our best players, but i’ll give credit to Fletch, Gibbo, and Rafael too.

I have no complaint of the game, 3 points was my main concern and the lads can deliver. To quote Rio on Twitter:

3 points was order of the day – Done!

Liverpool is next in the FA cup. Bring on the scousers!

We Didn’t Win, But Chelsea Lose

Manchestered — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:16:09 +0000

We started quite well yesterday at Villa Park, except the fact that Nani got his marching order early. Whether it was supposedly a red card or not a red card is different business. Since then, we dominate the game but never seem to be able to score. So in my opinion, 1-1 was a fair result. On the other side of the country, Chelsea lose to Everton at Goodison Park, thanks to Luis Saha’s goals and John Terry’s mistakes.

Now we’re second on the table, 1 point separate us with temporary league leaders (they haven’t go to Old Trafford, yet).

On injury news, we’re waiting for Giggsy’s x ray result (Update: Giggsy is out for 4 weeks. Dammit!). Hope all is well.

We can win the title this season, we can win it!

Top of the Table, it’s not that bad. Really!

Manchestered — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 10:29:30 +0000

We continue to crawling out results after results after a series of bad results in the last several weeks. Although we didn’t play very well, but we do dominate the homeside and bring home maximum points. The goals from Scholesy and, i can’t believe this, Kiko Macheda keeps the Champions at the place where they belong, at the top of the table with a point. Who cares Chelsea and Liverpool have better goal difference, the league title is ours to lose.

In other news, seems like Fergie gave Ronaldo a hair dryer treatment and that fucking fat Spanish waiter keep trying hard to win in a war of mouth with Sir Alex Ferguson.Who the fuck are you telling what’s SAF’s current state of mind? Oh well, fucking fat retard

Anyhow, hard game away from home is next. I still have hope that we can pass Porto into the Champions League semi. Although as i expressed several times in this blog that retaining Champions League will be super awesome, but i don’t care if we fucking lose because what i want the most is to retain the Premiere League trophy.

But the needs to see the lads winning is all about being a fan of this club. So, let’s hope the lads can do a good job in Porto.

Come on United!

Crucial Win against The Villan

Manchestered — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:23:33 +0000

I didn’t watch the game because i was stuck at work (Sunday night, what a great time to work). But i knew when we were winning, his double make Ronaldo league’s top scorer and that young lad Macheda scored our winning goal. This excerpt from Red Rants might best explain last night game and our season so far.

What happens between now and May could be anyone’s guess; United could still squander this from here. But the rush of confidence and belief that a late goal like this can bring is hard to rival any other emotion. United were in dire need of a win; a second wind to make the last lap of this title race. They were the bleeding giant that, by Sunday, had perhaps bled too much to survive. But the giant refused to die and Macheda’s goal made sure of that. Villa were stricken, and rightly so, like a fallen amateur boxer who should have killed off his opponent when he was down and out.

Porto is next in the Champions League.

Come on you reds!

FA Cup Semi and Some Annoying S**t

Manchestered — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 09:25:04 +0000

We beat Fulham 4-0 at their own backyard to secure this season’s FA Cup semi. Mind you, we did it without Cristiano Ronaldo.

The game was almost went 1 sided except for Jamie Reeves’ pundit opinion (in ESPN Asia) and some miscommunication between Van Der Sar with his central backs early minutes in the first half.

Our goals came from Tevez (2), Rooney and fully deserved Park.

Who we’ll face in Wembley we need to wait for the draw that takes place at 18:45 GMT today. Whomever they be, bring ‘em on!

I don’t know about you, but i am annoyed with these stuffs. I’ve been hearing lately that Milan is targeting Vidic. But today i heard that the Italian giant is also targetting Johny Evans. I know Milan needs world class players to fill those old defender tired legs, but how on earth would they think Vida and Johny will move to a struggling Italian side while they can have more and more silverware at Old Trafford? I don’t get it, what are they thinking?

Anyhow, we’ll face Inter Milan at home this week. If only they can score, they they can make our Champions League night going to hell like he did with Porto. But more on that later.

Come on United!

Reds Marching On

Manchestered — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 13:03:58 +0000

A win in Newcastle last night, after a shaky start, keeps the reigning Premier League champions 7 points ahead the nearest enemy with a game in hand. Van Der Sar broke his record by a silly mistake (i guess he was nervous ) and let the struggling home side took the lead early. But Rooney and Berbatov (Rooney, great goal lad!) goals made sure that Manchester United leave St. James Park with 3 points.

Next stop, Fulham in the FA Cup this weekend.

Bring ‘em on, Reds army marching on!
