Hernandez Confirmed as New United Hero

Manchestered — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 23:27:31 +0000

Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez aka Little Pea scored a late winner against Wolverhampton Wanderers last night at Old Trafford. The visitors came back after getting behind twice, until Chicharito broke their heart in the front of Stretford End in the last minute of Carling Cup tie. Bebe opened his account in his new club, and score the same amount of goals with Wayne Rooney with less minutes play. Second goal was a cracker from Ji Sung Park.

Youngsters look good. Do not write United’s long term ambition off.

Carling Cup Champions!

Manchestered — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:07:48 +0000

Manchester United are the Champions of 2008/2009 Carling Cup after beating Harry Redknapp’s Tottenham Hotspurs 4-1 on penalties today at Wembley.

Evergreen Giggsy calm as ever open the scorers from the spot, followed by Tevez, Ronaldo and Anderson; after both teams failed to score in 2 x 45 minutes plus extra times.

I hate it when a game should be decided on penalties, but hey whatever!

Today’s game shown that our lads still missing in big games, except Ben Foster, but surely this final was a good excercise for them.

Another trophy wrapped, come on United!

Some Thoughts Ahead of Carling Cup Final

Manchestered — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 14:06:52 +0000

The Carling Cup 2008/2009 final will be held at Wembley in several hours. No matter who Sir Alex plan to play as his starting 11, i just want to say that i want the lads to win it. It doesn’t matter whether Carling Cup is second rate cup or whatever people call it, i want Manchester United to win this final.

So i hope the lads give their all tonight (my time), beat Harry Hotspurs, put Roman Pavlyuchenko’s dream back to bed where it belongs and bring the cup to Old Trafford.

Come on you Reds!

In The Carling Cup Final 2009

Manchestered — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 05:41:27 +0000

We’re through to the Final of Carling Cup 2008/2009 by beating Derby County 4-2 at Old Trafford and 4-3 final aggregate. We’ll face defending Champion Tottenham Hotspurs at the Wembley Stadium in March 1st. Bring it on!

However, the scariest thing that we’re facing is injury crisis. Rio, Evra, Rooney, Evans, Rafael, Nani and Anderson all are reportedly in Theater of Hospital treatment.

All good things (lately) must come to an end, i just hope SAF & our club experiences will take us to another good end to this season.

Come on you Reds!

Carling Cup Semi Final, Here We Come

Manchestered — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:09:43 +0000

Carlos Tevez has shown what he made of by scoring 4 and provide 1 assist for Luis Nani. We beat Paul Ince’s Blackburn Rovers 5-3 at Old Trafford today and make sure we progress to the semi final of Carling Cup.

It was a good match, attacking football Manchester United style, although in the last 10 minutes, the lads seem to lost concentration and conceded 2 before Tevez killed of the game by scoring his 4th of the night and 5th for the team.

There you go, come on Carlitoz!

Carling Cup Quarter Final Against Rover

Manchestered — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 13:20:20 +0000

The Carling Cup Quarter Final draw result is out and we will face Incey boys at Old Trafford at the beginning of December. I bet it will be another tough game but I think we have a good chance to reach the last 4.

Complete draw results:

Stoke City v Derby County
United v Blackburn Rovers
Burnley v Arsenal
Watford v Tottenham Hotspur

So we still are a contention in 5 competitions to go (we’ve lost UEFA Super Cup to Zenith and won the Charity Shield beating Pompey) and will be important for Sir Alex to continue giving youngsters more football.

In enemy news, Liverpool and Chelsea can focus their effort to ‘more important tournaments’ like the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League as they were both out last week from the cup. But still, no ‘quadruple’ ambition for them this year (like always… hahah).

Anyway, in the next few hours, we will face Stoke City. Prepare for their bombing throw ins, and any other secret weapons. But I think we have a good chance to win. My prediction is 3-1 to United.

Come on you Reds!

A Glimpse of Carling Cup Win and a Boro Thuggery

Manchestered — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 04:28:28 +0000

That boy Ronaldo mark his come back to United’s first team with a goal. The combination of youngsters and experience players made SAF’s team more promising than ever. It’s nice to see promising youngsters Rafael Da Silva, Darron Gibson, Rodrigo Possebon and Danny Wellbeck all get their first starting line up, among experienced players like Giggs, Brown, Vidic and O Shea. The attacking display forced errors from the Boro’s back players, Giggs & Nani didn’t waste the chance and score 1 goal each to claim a 3-1 victory.

However, my mind can’t rest, as the win last night was shadowed by Rodrigo Possebon’s injury horror (Pogatetz you’re a f**king thug animal!). I hope the injury is not that serious and the talented lad can continue his career and contribute to the future of Manchester United.

All in all, i’m glad to see our side win.

Come on you reds!
