Fletch Explains Own Goals

Manchestered — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:03:27 +0000

Haters call it luck (10 times so far, luck?), but Darren Fletcher explain it perfectly (i think the same way when i see 3 Pompey own goals at Old Trafford last weekend):

“The own goals come from putting teams under pressure. If you put the ball into the right areas, it is difficult to defend. When you look at all these own goals there is always a United player coming in behind them who could easily tap the ball into the net. If we can put the ball between the goalkeeper and the defence and one of your players can get on it, great. But it certainly causes problems for defenders and fortunately for us, they have been knocking them into their own net.”

For fun: wouldn’t it be nice to see John Terry splash the ball to his own net at Old Trafford? Nevermind

Fergie is OK with a Point and the Red Card

Manchestered — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 08:49:21 +0000

I thought the card could cost us the title (that was before Saha scored the 2nd goal), but our boss think otherwise:

“We have gained. It was an important night and, with Everton winning against Chelsea, we have gained one point and one goal. It could be important point.”

On Nani’s red card:

“It was a sending off. It was a red card. It was a naive tackle. He is not a malicious player but he has gone in with his foot raised off the ground and we cannot complain about it.”

Cristiano Ronaldo Plans ‘Longer Stay’ at United, Should We Care?

Manchestered — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 16:23:11 +0000

I won’t lie to myself and I admit I have problem with Cristiano Ronaldo. I don’t praise him as much last season. It’s been 2 months since the new season start and whenever he score or just play good, I don’t really care. It’s like, well he scores, he got paid to do it. It’s ‘his job’. And it’s ‘my job’ to support our players.

I still unsure if Ronaldo plan to ‘stay ‘longer’ at United and current Ramon Calderon The Liar statement that he’s not their target anymore is even a good news.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with me. If I become another pathetic United fan, I’m sorry. But I just don’t feel about Ronaldo anymore.

But time will tell. Hope all become well.

Can Money Buy Success in Football?

Manchestered — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:06:15 +0000

Of course. How come they’re not?

Only retarded envy would disagree.

This topic has been surrounding English Premier League (and football in general) enthusiasts all over the world since the shocking take over of Manchester City’s ownership earlier this week.

However, we’ve been seeing Chelsea, whom £500 million and 3 managers later, still find themselves out of Champions League titles. Even Roman Abramovich wasn’t look like a rich guy at all when he was anxious to see his team lost to our team and Peter Kenyon looks like no different than that guy who fought with Patrice Evra the other day at Stamford Bridge… hold on, he’s the CEO of Chelsea? Oh good… Football Winners beat the money. A coincidence? No. In fact, they spent money to buy winners.

Of course they went to semis and a final but only winners that count. More weight on that especially if we count the amount of money they’ve spent on ‘Winning Quadruples’ and ‘Global Domination’ plans.

I still and perhaps always remember when Roman Abramovich, that super rich Russian bought Chelsea and inject super money to Stamford Bridge Brigade. I saw many other club fans retardedly convert to Chelsea. I was a friend to some of them back in the days. Seems like Man Utd glorious days are over, seems like it was the end of the world.

As a South Asian fan, i grew up hating Chelsea and Arsenal rather than Liverpool and Man City. So the views of Mourinho and his gang beat every other teams, including Man Utd, in the EPL really hurt me. I was constantly in pain.

I remember the dark days of not winning titles in several years but hey, once the team are stable, we’re back on our track of winning titles. We prove that instant money can buy success, but again hey, for how long and how much?

Now seems like the new Chelsea is Man City (probably Sparky will become the new Ranieri) and suddenly Abramovich looks like a poor guy and his scary Blue brigade sounds like has past their peak. Even if he has spent that much and brought excitement to EPL via Mourinho, their last year’s coach (who?) and now Big ‘Nose’ Phil and their super expensive team (they’re also super strong team remember…). But money burns fast aren’t they? Like 4 or 5 years? More? How much for how long? Is it worthy? Do you think the oil prices will continue to grow? Do you think we even still use oils in the next 10 years?

Hey don’t get me wrong cause i can make my life more misery as i will never become as rich as Dr. Arabians (only God knows) and I do think Man City is planning to challenge every football club in Europe, if not the world. But back to a similar question; When. This season? Next? 2012? If so, for how long? When will another ’10 times richer owners’ buy other teams in the EPL? This circle might continue…

However, i don’t really care what the new Man City or any other rich owners say because heck they can say whatever they want as they can afford the cost to invest to a football club and to where their mouth is in term of buying success. I don’t know, i might be wrong, so good luck to Manchester City and the next richest club in the world whomever it is.

So. Although it’s interesting to see what these rich guys will do in January, next season, 2012, 2013 blah blah… i believe our time is now.

NOW IS THE FUTURE. We have everything we need to retain our title, we have players, culture, and we are not losing money we need to buy more players we need (that worth the money) in the future. Man Utd is not a poor club, ok? So let’s concentrate on football and win games (and revenge back to Man City double last year!!!).

F**k other teams, Manchester United is the best club in the world (Ryan Giggs says so!).

Whatever, come on you reds!

Would You Join a Group for a Club that You Hate?

Manchestered — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:42:41 +0000

I might be wrong and against a lot of people but i don’t think it’s a good idea. I’ve just checked my email and got this invitation to join an Anti Chelsea group at a one of the biggest football social networking site i’ve joined last year.

I rejected the invitation, why? First and foremost, I only like Manchester United. I don’t even enjoy watching football if there’s no connection with Manchester United. It’s good, that i am a fan of a great club. But in other side, i hate any other club in this planet, especially when they become opponent of Manchester United. The question is, how many Anti This and That group should i join to express my feeling about those football clubs? Second, i don’t rate Chelsea that much i don’t think i should join a club dedicated to Chelsea.

I didn’t use the site well since i don’t feel or need to commute with other football fan except with Manchester United fans. It’s like a religion to me, so why debating my beliefs? There’s no need to discuss your beliefs with somebody that don’t have the same faith with you. Everything ManUtd do is wrong for them, and everything they do is wrong for me. So what’s the point of discussion? I believe not every ‘discussion’ is good though. Sometimes you just need to go for it and do your own way.

Note to this. Several people in any given times stop by this blog and express they hate of our club. It doesn’t bother me really because i also hate their favorite clubs. So what. However, some of these morons even show their hate by having some antimanu or antimanutd domains (seriously). Well, in other side that is why i become a fan of Manchester United. There’s no grey area for Manutd, you’ll hate or love United. But all in all, i will never buy antirealmadrid or antiarsenal or maybe fuckbregas.com to show my hate to other club. Well maybe if i’m drunk because it’s so easy purchasing things in the internet, but even if i end up buying these stupid domains because i’m so drunk, i won’t use it as soon as i got sober. Well, maybe i will park it since i spent my money already .

In conclusion it’s so stupid and a waste of time. Go support your team goddammit or shut up.

Sir Alex Denied Chelsea Jibe

Manchestered — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 06:13:02 +0000

Ok. That’s it. Newspapers are going mad. They still sell even at slow football season thanks to Ronaldo and Roman Calderonista saga, now they want every peace of Manchester United meat: quoting that SAF dismissed Chelsea chances to win the title, Tevez also want to play Real Madrid blah blah blah… What next?

At the official site, SAF denied Chelsea jibe which responded with smile by big nose Phil and a bit of wrath from the oldest member of the blue squad, Michel Ballack (is he? I don’t know, i don’t care). As Euro is over and Ballack’s team again hit record as second winner, my hate is pointing at him again as the enemy of Reds.

SAF also denied Carloz Tevez backed Ronaldo to off Old Trafford to somewhere in Spain, i don’t know.

So it’s clear, not only they crazy but (most) major media really suck.

Go read fan blogs.

New Direction of Manchestered.com

Manchestered — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:59:51 +0000

Been planning this for a while and i guess there’s no better time to start it out in the near future since the new season will begin shortly.

After trying out installing some new CMS applications on this Manchester United Blog (a Wiki and a Social Voting), i guess it’s time for me to start a blog with and for my fellow Indonesians.

By far i have 1 contributor and we will start to manage the operational of this blog together. However, we’re open for new team members as we plan to expand and want to be the best Manchester United Blog Indonesians can offer. Sounds ambitious remembering that so many forums and fan clubs are out there but, hey, this is internet content era, who knows if we can produce the best interesting contents continuously and gather the biggest crowds?

Anyway, it hasn’t happen yet so we’ll be focus our effort to achieve that.

This is What Real Madrid really Want…

Manchestered — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:52:32 +0000

… and the very last thing we need.

If the same situation continues, which seems like it, then we lost the war against Real Madrid. The heavy winding road to lure Ronaldo away from Theater of Dreams is soon ended with him wanting out afraid of fan’s rage.

However, i trust Sir Alex’s decision whether he’ll let Ronaldo out or stay. As a fan i will support no matter what the decision will.

Manchester United is bigger than everyone. Let’s prove it.
