Rio Ferdinand is supposed to be England Captain. But since Senor Capello has pick the slippy Chelsea captain to lead the Three Lions (who was too sick to play for England and play full 90 minutes in The River Side last weekend), that general sentiment is left only for United fans. But Rio got on with it and continue his giving his best service for his country. That shown his leadership ability. In my heart, Rio is the captain.

However, after again snubbed, this time in the Ballon d’Or nominations, Rio Ferdinand is nominated as Sports Leader of the Year by Square Miles Sport Awards.

The club also up in The Sports Team of The Year and Sporting Moment of The Year. In the last category, it was Chelsea’s slippy captain slippery slipped in front of Van Der Sar’s goals which many believe costs his team the Champions League.

Although Manchester United only included in 3 categories, you’ll be prompt to vote on all six category. In total you’ll be spent like 5 minutes or so to vote for our club. It won’t hurt you.

To vote, you can go here directly and cast your vote.

I don’t care if the lads say his heart and his mind is in Real Madrid. The fact is, he is a Manchester United player. I’m seeing the trend goes among the fans hating him. Well i do hate him until this sane morning, after 12 hours of sleep.

What i see when i’m sane is not only Reds fans are starting to hate him so much, i see the trend THAT THE ENEMIES ARE ALSO URGES HIM TO LEAVE MANCHESTER UNITED. So i begin to realize that this trend is actually shit. This is a general effort to weaken the European and English Champion before the new season begin.

See? The rumour said that SAF will leave OT if The Glazers sell Ronaldo, then Queiroz linked with Portugal National Team, David Gill is in Arsenal’s wish list, Ronaldo and Real Madrid. Then the Big nose Phil starting his job early as Chelsea coach by advising the lad to leave Reds and his lack of concentration of the game but on his new bank account, cost Portugal out of Euro very early, then all football pundit and Reds enemy bullshit try to get their hands to this crisis.

What will be the reason that we will start as a strong team next season and have all the chances to retain our title and win even more? WE NEED A STRONG TEAM. Last year’s champions team plus some more players to even strengthen the team. That strong team must include Cristiano Ronaldo.It’s in the agenda.

We have the chance to beat everyone we meet and our enemies know that. They want us weak and they’re laughing so hard to see the mess we are going through.

So fuck you enemies, i want Ronaldo to stay. I’ll forgive him, as long as he scores a lot of goals and help us to win more trophies! Come on Ronaldo, please stay. After this upcoming season, if you want to leave, and as long as SAF letting you go, then go. Now please enjoy your vacation then back to Manchester and let’s beat all motherfuckers.

Come on you Reds, let’s win even more!

Carlos Queiroz, Old Trafford no. 2 has told Cristiano Ronaldo via Portuguese radio station Rádio Renascença that he should stay at United. The reason is because simply Manchester United and everything within the club could give him the every remarkable attention that he deserves.

Queiroz is something of a father figure to Ronaldo at United and was instrumental in keeping the player at Old Trafford in 2006 following his role in Wayne Rooney’s dismissal in that year’s World Cup quarter-final between Portugal and England.

However, when he was asked the possibilities of replacing Big ‘Nose’ Phil at Portuguese national team, that probably also help to determine the winger to stay or to leave Manchester United, he add a sort of like father like son drama to the table:

“I’m not going to put myself in the market,” Queiroz continued. “Because the decision on the national coach should not be a result of those who make themselves candidates, but a decision that is conscious, rational and based on what the Federation judges [believe] is necessary for the team.

“I’m not going to tell you whether or not I’m contacted, that way I know for sure that it will be dealt with in due form and in due place.”

Oh come on boss, don’t let us down.

Brazillian Reds Star Anderson has reportedly injured himself in a 0-0 draw with Carlo Tevez’s Argentina World Cup Qualifying draw. No details posted as yet but this can put misery at the start of next year’s huge list of campaigns that Manchester United will be competing. Hope he get well soon, i tip him to get at least the Young PFA next year.

In other news, Manchester United has revealed the new away kit. The color is white and blue which is not my favorite, and it makes the red triangle at the shirt neck looks weird. I like the black away uniform better than this one, but you can make your choice yourself as it’s already available at United Direct.

Updates:

• The lad was challenged by Javier Mascherano. WTF!!
• Anderson’s injury is not that bad, waiting for MRI scans

Woot!

I almost forget that we’re Champions of England and Europe. How many England clubs can achieve that in a season? However, Ronaldo saga has made this reds’ life terrible. I can’t even watch the replay matches at MUTV while mostly i watch almost all Reds games several times, whether it’s LIVE or the replays. That sucks.

Now shall we forget about the unsettled boy because i am now believe he will always be unsettled, no matter what we achieve, no matter what he achieve. Of course as a fan i can forgive Ronaldo because he has done so much to our team, but the future you’ll never know.

As a team and as a club, which is the most important, Manchester United is the Champions of Europe and England, and we can forget about Treble because we will compete in 7 fronts next season.

Oh last season, what a season. Check out this post by Republic of Mancunia, it’s the reason why we should forget about Ronaldo the future you’ll never know boy (i still hope the Germans can beat Portugal, i want to see him and his coach cry!!).

Come on you Reds!

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!

This is yet the biggest Champions League final for me. The last Champions League final i watched was when Arsenal vs Barcelona in which Barcelona went as Champion.

The reason Champions League never been this big for is because i don’t really watch football (i watch Manchester United). Given this is the 3rd time (the 2nd time for me to watch the game LIVE at TV after the 1999 victory), no wonder if this competition is not an important trophy for this reds.

However, since Manchester United are through to the final, this is heaven for me. I sincerely hope we can win this match, despite i can’t understand why our team is all over media while Chelsea’s player are so quite (unlike before the final Premiere League game last week). I guess SAF should grounded the boys by not letting them talk to any media at all to focus on winning the game (remember the Ronaldo-Real connection early on? It’s disturbing!).

Dude, i even see the team preparing to fly out to Moscow and publish my thoughts in the internet. I never thought that Manchester United can play this big part in my life.

My best of luck goes out to all the lads. No matter who will be chosen by the Boss for the first team, i am sure all team will give out the best for Reds, as is the Club, The Boss (es), Themselves, Their Families and The Fans.

Come on you Reds, let’s win the Champions League!

This has just in to my feed reader after hours ago TeamTalk reported that United legend Sir Bobby Charlton slams Real Madrid for unethical manner and adamant that the Portuguese will stay at Old Trafford.

Here’s what Sir Bobby said:

“It really irritates me how people can set rumours going and undermine people through the media. It’s unethical.

“Everybody seems to think that Real Madrid or Barcelona are the two greatest clubs in the world. I don’t think I have to tell Cristiano that Manchester United is the biggest club in the world.”

Now here’s what SkySport reports that the winger has hinted that he will stay at the club:

“The boss is the reason I am here in the club,” Ronaldo – who joined United in 2003 in a £12million move from Sporting Lisbon – said in the News of the World.

“He helped me a lot, not just this season but the seasons before.

Now what Ramon Calderon, you want to lure Sir Alex too? F**K OFF!

Whatever that means, will continue to confuse me. But surely we can trust Sir Alex.

Now come on you reds, let’s beat Chelsea and win the Champions League!

He’s in a two years loan deal with Reds but Carlos Carlitoz Tevez is already our hero and a legend already in his debut season, as he scores important goals in numerous occassions. His status is quite complex to be resolved but United officials are investigating the best way to sort out Tevez’s ownership situation with Kia Joorabchian and formalise the contract.

Furthermore he’s no English and a Boca Fan in heart, but surely he manage his manner to be part of multi-national team like Manchester United. He’s not like ‘in future we’ll never know’ because who knows about the future anyway? Instead, he sets his target clearly (like i will be back playing for Boca Juniors at the age of 28) so who can blame him for his desire and pride of his nationality?

However, as Manchester United reach the Champions League final, then next week’s game in Moscow is probably one of key moments which can built a better future for Reds.

The thing is, HE IS READY TO SIGN!

This is a good news to this Reds and would like to thank you Argentina for Carlos Tevez.

Come on you Reds!
