Michael Carrick - Man of The Match

players December 1st, 2008

At the first 2 years he spent at Old Trafford, we’ve won 2 Premier League titles and a Champions League. He might not been as vocal and have all leadership quality Keano has (who has that other than Roy anyway), but the lad really can pass the ball and his contribution to the team is priceless.

Only few of us recognize that he’s a legend in his own term already. He probably will never be a Paul Scholes or a Michael Ballack (when he still play in German), but whenever he’s at top of his game, you can never never write off his team quality.

Carrick’s post Manchester derby video interview here. Nothing special in the interview really, but if you saw the game, then you must agree that he deserve a Man of The Match.

I believe we can expect more from him in the coming years at the Red Devils.

Midfield Double Boost For Reds

players October 11th, 2008

According to Manchester Evening News, our double injury midfielder Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves will soon return to match against West Brom at Old Trafford.

Carrick has missed 6 matches after he broke his ankle back in our lost at Anfield while Hargreaves still fighting his knee tendinitis will also probably available to strengthen our in form squad.

In my personal view, Carrick is our man in midfield while Hargreaves is capable to do all things great for our team. Hearing this news at boring International break is certainly cheers my heart.

More headache for Sir Alex to pick his team but all in all it’s a good news for all Reds.

Come on!

It’s On! Manchester United - Liverpool Preview

SAF, fixtures, players September 13th, 2008

I’ve said in earlier post, as an outside Manchester’s fan - a South Asian fan for that matter, i past my time as Reds hating Arsenal and lately Chelsea. However, the more i look into the games, the club and its culture, the more i feel the pressure ahead of every Liverpool games (still can’t find how and why i should hate Man City, but it doesn’t matter!).

This time is no different, the rivalries between the two has grown to top in the air this weekend. Benitez is stating a surprise comeback to Kop’s duo Gerrard and Torres, while Sir Alex on his Manager’s Press Conference stated that Hargreaves, Carrick and surprise surprise… Ronaldo is all fit for the Liverpool game at Anfield.

This is a very strange situation, as we can look back several weeks earlier that seems like our games are over, United will not top on anything this season, pundits are writing us off. However, star players are returning to our team and ready to murder everyone in the pitch. We always capable to do that to everyone as i’ve said last year (i’m sure the statement is somewhere within this blog’s archive) that the club itself is the biggest enemy. Not anyone else.

However, whatever i’m saying here in a fan internet journal, whatever haters saying our days are over (to be honest i don’t understand why they keep saying this as every logical person knows that we are super strong), and whatever football pundits say wrong things about the club, Sir Alex is starting to get his main men back.

So eat that haters, as It boost our confident ahead of one of the biggest match it (terms of rivalries) today and i happily wait on whom will make it for starters as our choice of players are growing.

Let Sir Alex do that for us, we, the fucking fans can hold our breath. Until then, at the Anfield.

Come on you Reds!
