Man Utd vs Chelsea

So Man Utd destroyed Chelsea this weekend in a really open attacking game. First of all Hernandez must be living proof that dreams can come true. Brought in as a future maybe player hes knocked a 30 Million pound Berbatov to the bench and stole the show on numerous occasions and in big games. Hes score 20 goals in his debut season and at 6 Million hes probably the bargain of the century. As for Torres, again crap, makes me so happy to say that.

Now the game itself was amazing to watch, both teams attacked each other from the start but Man Utd just seemed to want it that little bit more and i think this is the reason why we won. Hernandez's goal early on killed the game for Chelsea. This Man Utd display was as clinical as Ive seen, every player had a job and they did that job amazingly well.

19 League Titles is 1 point away from us and i cant wait to be able to rub it in every Liverpool supporters face...

Bin Laden was an Arsenal Supporter

As you might just have heard, Osama Bin Laden is dead. The demise of the al-Qaeda leader ends a 10-year manhunt during which, bizarrely, he was outed as an Arsenal fan and, horrifically, as the mastermind of a plot to assassinate the England football team. Here we track Bin Laden's football connections.

1) When, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, reports emerged claiming Bin Laden had supported Arsenal during his time living in London in 1993-'94, Gunners officials responded by banning the terrorist leader from their ground. Said a spokeman in November 2001: "We've seen the reports in the papers. Clearly he wouldn't be welcome at Highbury in the future."

2) Bin Laden wasn’t really much of an Arsenal fan, though. According to biographer Adam Robinson, he only attended four matches while in England looking for funds to finance his operations. However, they happened to coincide with the Gunners’ run to the European Cup-Winners’ Cup final and included a 3-0 win against Standard Liege (but he really should have gone away, where Arsenal triumphed 7-0) and a 1-0 semi-final second leg win against Paris St Germain which set up the final against Parma. Other biographers insist he only attended the PSG game, in which Kevin Campbell scored.

3) Bin Laden left London shortly thereafter, ducking extradition to Saudi Arabia. However, he’s said to have been so impressed that he brought back an Ian Wright replica shirt for his son Abdullah. Robinson claims Bin Laden once told a friend he had never experienced such a passionate crowd as at Highbury, leading to questions about whether he actually went there in the first place.

Man Utd vs Arsenal and a Rant Against Chelsea

What a disappointment this weekend as Utd crashed to 1-0 loss against Arsenal at the Emirates. A very below par performance from Utd against a very young Arsenal team who I believe played well above their ability. Arsenal had nothing to loose and no pressure on there young shoulders, resulting in a very fluid display from them. I think Sir Alex was playing for a draw and I think this was the right approach but in the end the gamble didn't pay off. I also think it was a mistake to take Ando off and let Park operate in the middle of the pitch as it was his bad marking that allowed Ramsey to score.

As I've said before Chelsea must be the luckiest team in England as both their goals against Tottenham should have been ruled out, one for offsides (It was hard to judge but shouldn't have stood) and the other was ridiculous, first Gomez let a simple catch slip through his legs and then as he stopped it from rolling over the line the linesman gave the goal from about 15 meter up the pitch and as the law states if the linesman cannot 100% see the ball cross the line, then he cannot give the goal.

So ranting over... hopefully Utd destroy Chelsea at Old Trafford next week. As for Schalke, I think we'll win it easily.

Man Utd vs Schalke

A great win for Utd, we punished Schalke from the first whistle and never looked like conceding. After the first half I'm sure every Utd supporter was raging with frustration at our dominance without scoring, Neuer was amazing and really bummed we haven't managed to sign him for next year as he looks like a real deal replacement for Van 'The Man'.  If it wasn't for Neuer's brilliance we would have score five goals I'm sure. In the end we did score and it was the great Giggsy who placed the ball through Neuers legs after Rooney drew three opposition player and fed a brilliantly weighted through ball. Rooney then scored a goal himself after much the same from Hernandez. The Man Utd team is firing on all cylinders now and I'm really please we got all our big games now that we on top form so bring on Arsenal, bring on Chelsea and bring on Real or Barce.

Man Utd vs Newcastle

Poor poor finishing cost us the game again. Man Utd created more clear cut chances then Ive seen them create the whole season but couldn't find the back of the net, every chance fell straight into the hands of Tim Krul or went wide. Besides for the opening 15 min of the game Utd dominated with chance after chance being created and missed. There were 3 appeals for a Utd penalty and 1 for Newcastle although i don't believe Hernandez appealed for the last penalty claim that he received a yellow card for, for diving, so don't know why he got a card. Anyway i think Newcastle and Man Utd both had a legitimate penalty turned down, so karma there. Newcastle produced a good display for 15 min but weren't able to create much as it took Utd a bit of time to settle, they had 4 corners in that time and had a half chance here and there but their quality of finishing was lacking. Hernandez and Rooney had  a great understanding between them and i think this partnership is going to thrive. Utd 1 touch football was amazing and although we didn't win the positives were there to be seen.

FA Cup Semi

Man Utd lost this weekend end to Man City which has had me so pissed off that i haven't been able to comment until now. Any the game was good, not great just good. Berbatov could have and should've had Utd up by 1 goal in the opening minutes but a great save from Hart denied him when he was one on one with goal keeper, i still think he should've scored though and some how managed to kick the ball over the net when it was easier to score. I really cant forgive him right now. Besides for that opening spell Utd were second best the whole game Scholesy and Berba were poor for me the whole game and we couldn't get control of the ball for more than a second. Man City were definitely the better team in the game and deserved to win. As much as they deserved to win it was a very poor piece of defending by Carrick, gifting the ball to Toure for a great finish. I would have loved to see Ando start as its extremely hard to seal with the pace of Toure and De Jong. Utd had there chances in the final minutes to grab a goal but unfortunately we failed to do so and can look forward to Champions League and The Premier League. Last time we lost in the FA Cup Semi we won the League and Champs so come on Utd. As for Balotelli what a tool.

The sprint to the finish has started.

Another great win for Utd this week, ever question Chelsea posed was answered by a Utd team on top form. Ferdinand and Vidic kept Torres and Anelka quiet all game while Carrick gave Lampard no space to move in. Giggsy was amazing over the two legs and set up all three of Utd goals. The whole season has been great to see a team full of young and old players gelling so well together, Arsenal just young and don't have B.M.T. which comes from experience, Chelsea all old and don't have the legs to carry them anymore while Utd its just about perfect. Players like Carrick and O'shea are coming back into form and its no surprise that this has happened at the same time Valencia, Ferdinand and Park have come back from injury. Man Utd have missed those players all season due to injury, those players including Rooneys current rise in form has taken an under performing team into top gear. Thank goodness we on top form now as we have a string of HUGE games coming up and will need our full squad fit and determined for those games. The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City are all battling now as there players are tiring now due to the end of the season and have had to play in the majority of their matches, where Man Utd have been rotating players all season due to injuries and our huge squad. Valencia, Park and Ferdinand have basically only started their seasons now and are fresh as ever, while players like Owen and Hargreaves could come in at any time to boost our team. Berbatov's been rested for a while and now that Rooneys been band he can also get much needed rest. I believe the seasons end is going to be a cracker. I wont put my money on us winning the TREBLE just yet but we are in an awesome position to do it.
