I have 3 updates:

1. Sir Alex is back to work and the media is pushing him more about another possible departure from the team. This time is No.2 Queiroz. Oh no. But it’s SAF, i can relax.
2. Chelsea has launched a new redesign of their website which i think is cool. Although, that URL complex structure annoys me.
3. I found a tool that best describe Platini’s useless comment on Ronaldo saga below. He’s detected!

Have a good day.

LATEST: Real Madrid President, Roman Calderon, got Amnesia.

More here.

Despite the tension that rose between Manchester United and Bayern Munich in case of Owen Hargreaves last year, the chairman of German giants, Karl Heinz Rummenigge has reportedly slams the way that Spanish club’s effort to lure Ronaldo away from Old Trafford.

Furthermore the German boss said:

“This is a situation that only concerns Manchester United, but I would like to see Ronaldo stay at the club for the benefit of everyone.”

“I am not worried about the case because the rules are clear and Manchester United has a very strong contract with the player for the next four years,” he said.

“Besides, I know enough about Alex Ferguson to know that if he says no, then that means no.

Like one of reader comments, i also starting to like the Germans :D.

Oh, in other news. I think ex Reds ’sold and failed’ Paul Ince should concentrate on his new job rather than thread useless comments to the press about his ex club.

Some quick updates.

I don’t watch the European Cup because by far i feel i don’t have to. I do watch the France demolition of Edwin’s Orange 4-1, which i tip to beat Portugal if both team has ever meet at later stage. Dude Holland rocks. But by far that’s the only game i watch. Maybe i will watch more game later as the competition has heaten up to reach the quarter final. I don’t know, let’s see if i can find the time (it’s later night here in Bali).

Anyhow next season EPL fixtures is already out. Reds will open the game against Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle, then followed by 2 last season’s big four teams away from OT in the first 5 games.

In other news, you might want to check these news; SAF to quit Reds if The Glazers sell Ronaldo without his permission and we have the chance to lose Queiroz to Portugal national team. Then who will manage the team then? Well, Big Phil can do it if the price is right, as his appointment as being the next Chelski boss has set him to buy everyone. Also, after losing his regular left back spot at Reds to become first choice at Real Madrid, Gabriel Heinze has become unreal.

Anyway, find next season’s full fixtures here. It’s tough, we can’t afford a kind of last year’s slow start.

Come on you reds.

Ronaldo has reportedly refuse to speak with our boss whom cut short his holiday to fly to Swiss to talk with Portuguese winger after long staggering season that ends with double silverware. This might triggered by SAF’s comment in the media lately that he prefer to see Ron’s rot than to sell him to Real Madrid. I do think it’s rude but i guess it’s pointed to Roman Pinnochio Calderon instead of Ron.

However, I think this is ridiculous. How can a player and his manager (read: his mentor) speak each other through media when they have the opportunity to speak face to face? I think SAF (with a great help of Queiroz) ) was the one who help the lad to be the best player in the world for encouraging him to stay at a great football team after he tinker Wayne Rooney at last World Cup. Damn, how can he do that to SAF?

Eventhough noone seems to see him talk with live audience as evidence to his words, but his ‘the future you’ll never know’ (i saw him saying that over and over again in live TV) attitude has made me lost my appetite.

This is Manchester United Blog not Cristiano Ronaldo blog, and i’m a Man Utd fan with or without Ronaldo. Deep down my heart, even if i still want to see Ron in Reds next season (of course, he’s the best player in the planet goddammit), but if he goes, i sincerely hope that we can meet Real Madrid in the next Champions League and beat them.

Let him go while there’s Real Madrid who stupid enough to pay that huge amount of money to the lad. Let him gets richer for a while and regret his decision when he gets older. Let’s buy more future Ronaldos and win more titles. Then the Reds legacy goes on, as the best football club in the world.

Reds no. 2 feels Madrid’s outspoken courting of his Portuguese compatriot is about more than their wish to get Ronaldo, claiming it is part of the long history and rivalry between Portugal and Spain.

Queiroz also claim that

“It’s being done in a manner to distract the Portugal team, at the height of their preparations for the European Championships,”

Well it’s a super freaking big attack from our 2nd boss to the Spanish club.

Now to Colombus, claiming someone nationality sounds too strange to me. So I decide to check Christopher Colombus’s Wikipedia page, and found no clear indication whether the Admiral of the Ocean Sea is either Portuguese or Spanish (or even Italian).

The best related story to Colombus that i could find is this:

Academic consensus establishes that he was born in Genoa, although other minor theories have been posited. The name Christopher Columbus is the Anglicization of the Latin Christophorus Columbus. Also well known are his name’s rendering in modern Italian as Cristoforo Colombo, in Portuguese as Cristóvão Colombo (formerly Christovam Colom), and in Spanish as Cristóbal Colón.

And, the fact that, he was born in Italy and died in Spain.

From IMDB database (regarding Christoper Colombus - The Discovery Movie) Colombus also has several aliases like:

Cristóbal Colón: el descubrimiento     Argentina / Spain
Christophe Colomb: La découverte     France
Christopher Columbus - äventyraren     Sweden
Christopher Columbus - Der Entdecker     Germany
Cristóvão Colombo - A Aventura do Descobrimento     Brazil
Cristoforo Colombo: la scoperta     Italy
Hristoforos Kolomvos: I anakalypsi tis Amerikis     Greece
Kolumb odkrywca     Poland
Kolumbus - seikkailijoista suurin     Finland

Well things is beginning to be absurd as i don’t know that much about history.

But whatever Christopher Colombus actual nationality is:

1. He’s so cool and it is worth to have somebody like him representing your nation.
2. Ronaldo is a Portuguese and plays for Manchester United.
3. Real Madrid is weird.

Ramon Calderon is a f**king liar and Mijatovic is a pimp.

Hell, i don’t understand what this audio below is all about. But, when Pinocho’s nose gets longer, that’s when he’s lying right? From the comment, i think this was the case against AC Milan’s player when he promise to land Kaka to Real Madrid to help the club sell t’shirt. But someone at the comment list mention Cristiano Ronaldo’s name too.

Hmmm… Whatever, he’s still a liar.

However, he also try to cool down the tension with Manchester United on translated interview at SkySports.

Here’s what he said:

“We have not interfered with Manchester United’s contract agreement with Cristiano Ronaldo,” Calderon told Sky Sports News.

“We’re sorry that Manchester United - a club with which we have an excellent relationship - is annoyed with us because Real Madrid have nothing to do with that aspect.

“I want to clear this up with him and assure him we are not going to influence any player to break a contractual relationship.

“We are not going to start a conflict.

“If a club doesn’t want to sell a player, why would we insist that they do sell him?”

Here’s the direct link to the video. I don’t trust him, he don’t say it in English.

I was tempted not to post anything after the Champions League win. Soon after the game finished, i browsed around the world wide web, reading all those beautiful coverage of the Kings of Europe. You know, you think you have it ‘enough’.

I watched the game LIVE on TV anyway so i don’t discover anything new, which include:

1. Chelsea players didn’t feel to lose. Hold on. Yo blues. Do you read the text in the medal you received carefully. Does it written that you were the winners? Hah?.
2. The haters is already talking about next year. Next year is going to be ours, we’ll beat you blah blah blah. Dude. They think they are the only ones who have next year plans. Yeah see you next year, but now it’s all about Reds.

Dude, the feeling to see the win was fantastic, even though it’s all the same stories. In the last 24 hours, it’s all about Manchester United in about everywhere. World wide web, TV, papers; name it.

However, one of the best thing of having a blog and blog about what i love, is that i am able to use the posts to discover what i do, including my past, present and future feelings. It’s a cool way to remembering the good time and bad times. It’s more likely to be a personal journal, that anyone else in the world with internet connection, can also read. So, i decide to post some of my thoughts.

Here we go. The Final Of Champions League 2007-2008; Manchester United VS Chelsea.

Whatever…

First things first; the bad things.

1. Important lad that was missing in the cloud of Reds: Ji Sung Park. You’re another unsung hero!
2. Ronaldo’s statement regarding his future. He’s an egoistic maniac and totally ruin the party. I don’t think he will ever change. He’s the same lad who ask the referee to card Rooney at the World Cup. I bet Tevez will score more goals if he leaves! But, let’s leave it to Sir Alex.
3. That Ivorian thug, who again had his clashes with Vidic whom successfully kept him under his pocket throughout the game. Drogba, you’re a fucking idiot!
4. I don’t understand why, when shots that hit the post labeled as ‘unlucky’. Here’s my thought on that. The shots are just not good enough that it don’t end at the goal. So to me it’s not unlucky, it’s not good enough. Period.’

Now the good part. The F***ing Win. Yesss!

Oh man the game was freaking tight. I watch the first goal with pride. You know, it’s good to see Wesley Brown can finally pass the ball ‘right’ on such important occassion, and that boy Ronaldo finished it off with style. His first goal against Chelsea. Several minutes after the goal, Reds find it hard to stop bombing the blue side of the pitch. It was maginificent long pass from Rooney after dispossessing a Chelsea striker passed through the right foot of Ronaldo. He then passed it right to Tevez followed by the awesome move by the big Chelsea goal keeper. However the clearance ball from Chelsea defender was only as far as Carrick that shot and only the great reflect of Cech keep Chelsea stays on the game. Came late at the first half, an equaliser came after Essien shot, which bounces from Vidic and Ferdinand, that lead the ball to unmarked Lampard. Edwin Van Der Sar slipped in the vital moment, another Chelsea ugly goal came, 1-1!

The second half, Chelsea played like a different team. But we have our chances and our defensive players were just wonderful.

The game went to extra time. As always, extra times are just awful for me. It was 20 tired lads running around to chase 1 ball that moves around the pitch. Nervy, as Chelsea have their moments. But again we passed it well. However, Giggsy almost brings us Champions League title early, after super cool run by Evra, but Terry’s super reflect header was awesomely denied the United legend to score his first Champions League final goal.

In the end, after no signs of a winner, penalty shoot out was even worst. I felt like i was going to pee in my pant everytime another Reds took on penalty. However, Ronaldo failed penalty was covered by Terry’s miss. He had the chance for glory, but weirdly enough, the score were back levelled. The next taker was Giggsy. He brought Chech the wrong way. He score. Level! Then there came the decisive moment, when Nicholas ‘the always rejecting Reds’ Anelka step up to the ball, only to be denied our own EDWIN VAN DER SAR.

That’s it. We’re crowned. The Champions of Europe.

Oh yeah you Reds!

I’m curious given the buzz about ‘another Ron-Real connection’ and just watch Ron’s interview at TV. I think it’s official. Yes. He wants to leave. Why not.

We’ve been there and done that with the likes of David Beckham and Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Losing great players to Real Madrid seems like a habit for Manchester United (and perhaps also to other clubs). Their ‘no respect for anyone but themselves’ (it was SAF’s quote) attitude reveal their dirty tricks which is their style of making huge amount of money by selling their so-called football club. Real Madrid is disgusting, really. But what’s new about it anyway?

Ronaldo is not a stupid boy. He has latin connection by his nature. Of course he will dream to play in Spanish or Italian league. It’s just the timing is so stupid. Given the time that we are facing our 3rd Champions League final is just rubbish and turn this reds down.

But Ron’s desire to be out from OT is not new to Reds fans. I remember when he did that jerky thing to Rooney in World Cup. He wanted out from OT and wants a move to Barcelona or Real Madrid. Even this Reds hate him so much until Sir Alex ‘Messiah’ Ferguson came to the stage and convince the boy to stay Reds. Soon after that, things change drastically. Ronaldo has taken the center stage and prove to all Reds week in week out that he worth every penny. We forgive his miss penalties, because he has given us so much of his talent for the whole season.

However, I know the time will come and the more i hear this the more i felt peace to lose him. Even to Real Madrid.

But before that, some questions should be answered:

1. Who will replace him next season. We have the team but do we have a winner in his class since that is the problem with mediocre teams that never win the league (like us after missing Beckham)?
2. After 2 seasons in a row blasting Reds opponents in the field and help in great deal of bringing EPL silverware back to back to OT, is he going to be that good next season at Reds? Will he be motivated enough? Scoring 50 goals? Hmmm…
3. If he don’t play like this season next year, can we put a reasonably enough price tag to buy his replacement? Will he be that expensive in the next 2 seasons?

I DON’T KNOW MAN. I guess i’m trying to be logical while i’m mad about stupidity.

The good thing is, we haven’t hear anything yet from Sir Alex Ferguson and i trust him and his decisions with all my heart.

Oh anyway, i almost forget, we have Champions League to win next Wednesday. Now that is a positive thoughts; We need to win the Champions League. We can be more determined to win within all this bullshit. I mean, this is Manchester United goddamit! We need to prove to world… again, that we’re the best Football Club in The World!

So come on you Reds, let’s beat Chelsea and win this year’s the Champions League (because Real Madrid can’t!!).

Yes, why not. Because Xavi (who?) has teach the world on how to play the right football. I am not saying whether he’s right or wrong because i don’t believe these type of dudes and i don’t debate nor argue my believes. Screw all maths, stats and logical BS.

I believe what i believe doesn’t have to be right in front of all people. So i can choose which one that i love, and not boring Spanish football. So if i fall in love with ‘long ball more physical less skill’ English football, then why not? However, EPL side has left 3 teams on UCL’s semi. Now please explain that to the world with your exact football calculus Professor Xavi…

Let’s respond this right way by putting the Catalan side out of this year’s Champions League.

Come on you Reds!
