Carling Cup Semi Final Draw & ex-Keano Team Match

Manchestered — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 12:43:34 +0000

The draw result is out and we will face Derby County away from home. The match will will be played in the week commencing 5 January. The second leg will be played week commencing 19 January in Old Trafford.

On the Premier League next fixture, we will face ex-Keano team on late kick off tonight. Doesn’t matter whether Keano’s exit ahead of Sunderland visit to Old Trafford will impact their team morale, because we need to win and surely can’t afford to drop more points.

Come on you Reds!

Drawn at Ewood Park, Title Race is officially Wide Open!

Manchestered — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 04:43:49 +0000

I had the feeling that we will have a hard f*cking match at Ewood Park. I was right. But it’s obvious anyway and seems like we have a syndrom that everytime we will face a Champions League match, we play under par domestically.

I don’t even think that Reds deserve the point until Sparky decided to get his players behind their own half and depend to lone striker Jason Robert to escape from Reds’ torturers. Thanks to Carlos ‘Carlito’ Tevez, we get away with 1 ‘crucial’ point. However, as Rooney become more and more influential to the team, i think his effort to get penalty by diving, while he had the chance to get to the ball behind Blackburn defender, was TOTALLY RUBBISH! He surely did better in many occasions.

So the chance for under par season performers Chelsea to leapfrog us nextweek, just like they did to Arsenal, is at least officially diminished. But if we lose at Stamford Bridge, i do think Chelsea’s chance is bigger than us to end up with EPL silverware. Why? Because I’m still in pain to remember how The Hammers double hammered us last season and they can still do that to us this season. And don’t forget Steve Brucey’s Wigan Athletic has all they get to hold the champions to retain the title. That’s how the ugly grass at the JJB might be the perfect funeral for the champions.

However, that is a worst case scenario from hell and please don’t forget that this is a Manchester United blog goddammit! I think we can beat Chelsea at their homeground even though i will expect brutal expectation from the home crowd. If we see the remaining fixtures, i don’t see the easiest way to retain the title but to beat Chelsea and hold their points.

Furthermore, let’s just forget the ‘superior’ goal difference because all we need are points. Pundit’s math is rubbish, this is Manchester United and we always do it the hard way. This season will be no different.

Heck and welfare. Come on you Reds, let’s beat Chelsea.

Forget Stamford Bridge Party, We’re Going to Ewood Park!

Manchestered — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:07:35 +0000

Some might say that we’re favorites to retain our title this season. Of course, we’re in top form, we lead 2 points from 2nd place Chelsea, we have a game in hand and a superior goal difference.

But do we remember 2 seasons ago when Friedel and The Gang gets double against us? 1-2 at OT and 4-3 at Ewood Park? Mark Huges, the United legend, will not let us get the 3 points easily. In fact, The Reds always have a hard game in Blackburn.

Dude, to me, talking about party at Stamford Bridge next week is rubbish, we haven’t even beat the will-always-hard-fight Sparky’s squad. Come on man, we need the win today. Forget about the party. This is when Reds fans all around the world is expecting the team finish high as the season reaches its end.

We expect glory, not the unexpected.

Come on you Reds, let’s win this game!

Player’s high salaries and the recent controversial ticket price hikes is an `integral’ part of the club’s global success story, David Gill told a gathering of business people at Manchester Business School.

Some highlights of his speech:

Business turnover has grown from £80m in 1991 to £245m as of the end of last year.
In the same period, the club’s post-tax profits have increased from £6m to £18m.
Independent research: United is followed by 330m people globally – giving sponsors access to `unrivalled’ media exposure.
The players recognise that they really are pivotal to the club’s success so they can demand high fees.
The team creates the flair which perpetuates Red’s media coverage, which in turn reassures our sponsors that they are getting the best possible media exposure around the world
The vision is to be the best club both on and off the pitch.
8,000 of Old Trafford’s 76,000 seats are executive class and contribute around 40% of all match day revenue.
