Steve Bruce, a Manchester United legend, who is now managing Wigan, has give us a favor by held Chelsea at their backyard 1-1. It was last minute equaliser from Heskey that gives the Champion closer to retain their back to back title.

In other good news, Rio Ferdinand, the suposedly Ronaldo main contender on this year’s PFA award, has agreed to pen a new 5 year deal with the club.

I can see that the Reds will going stronger except that SAF and The Gang can’t make the most of the remaining fixtures. I sincerely hope no more experiment line up from the boss, as me and millions of Manchester United fans will love to see we can retain our title this season.

Don’t bother on what Chelsea are doing, what we can do and will do is the most important. That’s how we win the title last season.

Whatever is sweet, as long as we win the title. Come on you Reds!

As the season goes by, we are now reach the critical stage. We’re top at the premiere league and hold the same point with Arsenal but top them by cool 8 goal difference and differ only 3 points with 3rd place Chelsea. We have a game in hand as well as Chelsea and will finish it off tomorrow against Bolton, who beat us earlier this season, at home. I can see many advantages in our side, but Chelsea is also having much as they still have home match against us and Arsenal. Isn’t it all make sense if i predict Chelsea will overcome Arsenal in terms of Table position, and we can keep the silverware in Old Trafford?

In other news, Manchester United and AS Roma delegation reportedly hold talk about the security concerns for the visiting fans. We all remember that bloody day when our fans was beaten badly by Roma authorities in two occasions. I sincerely hope the club can manage this one as they need to be able to guard the fans toward this important match.

Back to Premiership, we’re going to face Bolton. We need the win.

Come on you Reds!

Confirmed. As i have covered this earlier, there was a chance for abroad fans to watch EPL matches LIVE. But apparently, FIFA has anonimously confirmed that they opposing the plan. So no EPL games abroad, i just need to make more money so i can go to Old Trafford. Fine.

In other news, FIFA has also oppose the goal line technology and plan to apply six homegrown players in every starting XI. 

This morning when this fan checked his email, he was shocked. You know what? He got his first Manchester United Newsletter from the official site.

From what i remember, I signed up to free membership online like 2 years ago and promised to send newsletter in regular basis but they never did until today. So, i’m glad.

The newsletter just like any other just this one came from Manchester United. If you want to get it deliver for free, you can go to the official site and sign yourself up for free.

It’s nice to see the official site is finally ‘talk’ to the fans.

Cheers.

As always, i get this nervousity ahead of Manchester United’s game. Whomever we face, i always get this mixed up feelings. But i am sure our team will do their best to get into the 4th round like we did last year.

However, the world wide web has so much interesting things to say (you’ll reach the best part, scroll down):

1. Manchester United have received further positive injury news with reports that Mikael Silvestre and Ben Foster are making steady recoveries (Team Talk).

2. Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has dismissed as fabrication reports linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a world record move to Real Madrid (4 The Game).

3. Wayne Rooney has revealed how he thrives off the challenge of wearing the famous No.10 shirt (Sky Sports).

4. Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out making any new signings during the January transfer window. Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov and Rangers defender Alan Hutton have been linked with a switch to Old Trafford, while Real Madrid have reportedly made Cristiano Ronaldo their top target (Daily Mail & ManUtd.org).

5. This is the best that i can found today. It’s from ManUtdPies: Becks dresses like Gooners!!!!!!!!!! Well, i don’t blame him eventhough i hate to see United legend dresses like that (duh!). Maybe he’s too scared to ask SAF permission to train in his old training ground, Old Trafford. Whatever. Good luck to Becks. I hope he can retain his place in England National Team.

Carloz Tevez, our hero at Sunday’s clash against Liverpool has been surge to Actim’s top spot player. Actim is the official player rating system for Barclay’s Premiere League.

Tevez is among 10 other Manchester United player at the top 100, that include Rio Ferdinand at 8th and Cristiano Ronaldo at 9th.

The Actim Index is calculated using a unique mathematical formula that rates each player’s contribution be it goals, shots, passes, dribbles, tackles, crosses, saves, clearances, blocks, interceptions, assists, clean sheets, time on the pitch or number of points gained by the team with marks deducted for red and yellow cards.

Via: 4TheGame.

1. Sir Alex Ferguson is a reluctant mover in the new year sales, but with Manchester United scheduled to announce record profits next month, he will ask the Glazer family to back his team’s title challenge by stumping up the money for a new full back, with Philipp Lahm, of Bayern Munich, his ambitious top target.

2. Park has been out for nine months, but is ready to put his injury nightmare behind him and help United in their push to regain the Premier League crown.

3. UNITED ace Cristiano Ronaldo said he was just pleased to be nominated after coming third behind Brazilian Kaka and Argentina’s Lionel Messi in the FIFA World Player of the Year Awards in Zurich on Monday night.

4. Remembering Heinze: with his dream, i think Ronaldo will not become another United legend but another high paid player that can bring United to another glory in years to come.

5. According to reports over the weekend Manchester United are tracking not one French striker but two as they are following Karim Benzema from Lyon as well as Gabriel Obertan from Bordeaux. Both are hugely promising players, although Benzema is the better known of the pair as a result of his goal scoring exploits in the past 6 months for his current club Lyon as well as his 3 goals in 8 French caps.

6. Is Manchester United The Greatest Soccer Club? I think so. Yes.

To be honest i wasn’t excited with the game at Rome. I didn’t even watch the game, whether it was Live and its excerpts. But i do feel sad to hear that the violence in Italian football continues and another Reds Fans became victims. Hope all is well soon.

But woot! Sunday clash is likely to happen soon. Every Reds fans who watched the game against Liverpool know what is waiting as soon as the team arrive at Anfield. The long history of the Liverpool Football Club that generates super cool fans is no doubt will bring even to the best football squad in the planet to face ‘nightmare’.

Anyhow, ahead of the big game, the world wide web have some cool things to say:

1. Sir Alex Ferguson cannot understand why Rafa Benitez seems to be under so much pressure at Liverpool (Sky Sports).

2. SIR Alex Ferguson expects to see 11 lions and no lambs in his Manchester United side on Sunday for the match he regards as bigger than any other (Manchester Evening News).

3. Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been handed a two-match touchline ban and a £5,000 fine by the Football Association (Team Talk).

4. Unbelievable – just when you thought the FA were all talk and no action, for the first time ever they actually get a decision right (ManUtdPies as regards of the appointment of Don Capello).

5. Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he attempted to beat Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez to the signing of Fernando Torres (Sky Sports).

6. Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Fabio Capello that he will be under the most intense pressure when he begins work as the new England manager (4 The Game).

7. Owen Hargreaves is expected to return to the United squad for the game against Liverpool this weekend (Reds Issue).

8. United will be hoping to add Steven Gerrard’s woes by pinching another three points off the Scouse as happened the last time the Reds played at Anfield. The man who did the damage last season was our very own artful Irish dodger, big John O’Shea, who stole in to score the only goal of the game which secured a somewhat fortuitous late victory and a very welcome three points (A Kick in The Grass).

9. And the coolest thing that i can find in the internet today was from ManUtdPies remembering our last year’s win against Scousers, check out the video below. Come on you REDS!
