Frank Lampard believes Rio Ferdinand deserves his chance to captain England, and so does Rooney (but later)…

”Wayne is our best player, especially at the moment, and he is the one that can really make things happen for us off the cuff. To burden him with it [the captaincy] at that age would have been the manager’s decision, but I think it is a good idea not to.

I think he will be England captain one day for sure. This has brought up a whole talk about England captaincy but you need a few captains on the pitch.”

Our own Wayne Rooney is Barclay’s Player of The Month (January) and The First player (the fastest) to reach 20 goals milestones.

The young lad who skilfully pulled off the nutmeg on my yesterday’s video post is called Callum and he and his local team will be taking part in the Nike Five tournament over the coming months.

Previous video was shot by a mobile phone camera. Now this one below is the full version. See Ferdinand laughing, he always have all the fun

That kid skill is cool and this is rare moment for Wayne.

Watch it.

After being behind last season’s runner up Chelsea throughout this season, we finally able to leapfrog them tonight after taking care Steve Bruce’s Wigan at Old Trafford. However, to me, the game was, well, dull except for Vidic & Evans outstanding performance.

Anyway, one thing that matter most is the 3 points. One more job done tonight, we’re now 2nd in the table with a game in hand.

Let’s also hope Rooney’s hamstring is not that bad and he can get back to the team on time for the game against Bolton this weekend away at the Reebok Stadium.

Manchester United 1 – Wigan Athletic 0, Wayne Rooney the goalscorer in the first minute.

Come on you Reds!

Update: Rooney reportedly will be sidelined for around 3 weeks. Chance for Tevez to show the world what he is made of!

All the goals by Vidic, Ronaldo, Rooney (2) & Fletcher.

I really like the improvement on match report style in the official site. It’s very well improved style of web report.

1. Javascript image gallery.
   • There’s a small camera logo on the picture report. If you click on that, a javascript/lighbox style image gallery will pop.
   • A really nice way to make fans stays at the official site longer.
2. Tabbed Report, Ratings and Video
   • The text match report, player rating and post game videos are only separated by tabs.
   • Very well implementation of web real estate screen optimization.

Oh anyway, we can only draw with Aalborg last night at Old Trafford. I’m so glad to see Tevez & Rooney continue to be on the score sheet. Complete report at the Official Site.

In the next round of Champions League, we have possibilities of meeting with Internazionale Milan, Sporting Lisbon, Atletico Madrid, Olympique Lyonnais and Real Madrid. Whomever it will be, bring the f**k on!

Come on you Reds!

Cristiano Ronaldo’s silly red card didn’t prevent brilliant team effort to hang on one goal advantage created by Wayne Rooney. Young Rafael again shown impressive display, while Carlos Tevez continue to lost in the cloud by Dimitar Berbatov’s surprise return after hamstring injury (now I’m convinced that we’ll lose Tevez).

However, precious 3 points sealed.

Bring it on EPL!

We will face on fire Hammers at home this Wednesday but before we get to that, there are several updates regarding our players:

1. Wayne Rooney was targeted by his ex fans in Everton. Then he was angry and kiss our club badge. Rumor said that he’s get punished by the FA for that. But today the BBC confirms that he escape the punishment.
2. Ronaldo won World Player of The Year voted by his football peers and said that Sir Alex is his inspiration. Nice to hear that Ron…
3. Rio Ferdinand named in World XI players, he’s delighted and has an interview at the Official Site.

Anyhow, there’s a cool 12 o’clock blog post by Steward Gardner from MUTV and i’m amazed how hard to find this particular section in the Official Site. Site navigation at ManUtd.com is so confusing, I had to use site search then given some article excerpts with relevancy percentage results. So 2004. I hope someone could tell the official website team about Google Site Search. It’s only $100 a year for a site with 5.000 pages. The result is so much better… Or, please redesign the site.

See you on Wednesday.

So the winning streak in all competition has to stop to 7 as we draw 1-1 against Everton today.

It’s always hard if every team you play want to win against you and that’s what we face today at the Goodison Park. But there are no excuse because we deserve tough matches throughout the season on every occasion, because remember we’re the f**king English and European Champions.

After so many noises ahead of the game we could only draw 1-1 against the team that very recently could only play good at first halfs. But they surely super motivated and very much improved at the second half, including Tim Howard, Phil Neville and ex reds injury prone Louis Saha. We’ve been poor and waste so many opportunities and they’ve been good enough to upset our rythm.

Of course it’s a long way to go but we already lost 5 points on our visit to Merseyside team after losing against the kop in September and draw against Everton (I wonder if those points could cost us our aim to get the English Premiere League hattrick). But I guess it’s at least harder to march through the first half of season since other top four, according Hull doesn’t seem to slowing down. But who knows anyway.

Special message to Rooney: Calm down Rooney, you’re the best among Red fans! Next game will be much better. We could win another 7 (hope to win more) start from the next game against West Ham in Old Trafford!

Come on you Reds!
