A Great Weekend

When all Man Utd supporters were starting to become a little anxious Arsenal go and give us a huge life line by drawing 2-2 with West Brom. a louesy piece of goal keeping allowed Odemwingie to slot the ball past Almunia gifting Man U a 2 point cushion. I really don't have a clue what was going through the Arsenal keepers mind as Squillaci definitely had the ball covered and I'm 99.9% certain that Odemwingie was never gonna create a chance from that position and as for Aaron Ramseys 2 yard miss, what a shocker.

Again United win it late but i feel we created enough chances to finish it off earlier in the game with Rooney again pulling all the strings with his new free role. Berba, Hernandez, Nani and Rooney had good enough chances to score and it was only a matter of time one would go in. Jaaskelainen pulled off a number of great saves and with so many attempts at him, their would be one that he couldn't hold. For a team in injury crisis i feel things are going pretty well. Arsenal are missing 2 defenders and look hopeless. Oh and we playing badly this season.

I though Man City were crap they spent 30 Million Pounds on Dzeko who i feel has one of the worst touches in the world Silva is there only attacking player without Tevez and he has no one to pass to as 9 of the 11 players on Man Citys team don't cross their own half. Chelsea played well but are no where near there best when Torres plays, hes got absolutely no work rate and doesn't even look like he wants to score. I do feel that as soon as Lampard is injured or missing Chelsea are half the team and that a huge worry for them.

Liverpool, well 5th place is all they can look forward to an I'm not to sure they gonna find many classy players who don't wanna play Champions League football. So good luck for next year. This great run of 20 points from 10 games is all good but you would still only be in 2nd place if you had kept it up all season.

Injury Returns

Injury returns. Just some news on players coming back. Obviously Valencias back which is a massive boost but Ando(Probably one of our best players this year) and Hargreaves are apparently training well. So hopefully we'll have a fully fit team soon.

Man Utd Draw Chelsea

So we've been drawn against Chelsea in Quaters which will be nice for us to get our revenge for their lucky win against us.

Man Utd Vs Marseille

A very good performance from Utd as they fought their way into the quarter finals. Rooney was amazing, it was a performance that reminded me of when he first came to Utd. His aggression was back and he fought tooth and nail for the team. It was nice to see him dropping back into the midfield and supporting Scholes and a woeful Carrick. The team dominated possession and were justified in their win. Another great shout out to Van Der Sar who was faultless and is on top of his game. Oh and Hernandez is amazing, 7 million get you a goal ratio of 1 every 80min, and to Chelsea 50 million gets them a goal ratio of 0 every 450min

FA Youth Cup : Liverpool U18 vs Man Utd U18

Another Fa Cup victory for Man Utd this week, this time their U18 team came back from being 2-0 down to win 3-2. Goals from the impressive Cole and Morrison won the game for United in a match that they deserved to win. Both teams finished the match with 9 players due to red cards.

Man Utd vs Arsenal

Great win for Man U. We had a below par team and didnt play very well. Van Der Sar was the main reason for our win as Arsenal created lots of good chances but the Duchman made a string of awesome saves. I though Rooney played very well and would like him to opperate more as a midfield player, i think he could be the next Paul Scholes. Its great that Valencia's back its like we made another signing and his play was also brilliant. So well done Utd for a deserved win.

Champions League Wrap Up

Well done to Tottenham for making it through to the qauterfinals but just like the night before, the English team (Tottenham) battled to get into the game with A.C. Milan showing much more qualitiy on the ball. Now I believe that this is purely because both English teams where so nearvous of allowing the opposition to score that they didnt allow themselves to make forward runs or push high enough up the field. I think when Chelsea and Man Utd play next the tempo and possesion will dfinately be dictated by the English clubs. Also well done to Shalke for getting through many hadnt expected them to get through but as underdogs they've pulled off a great victory.

Come on Tottenham !!!

Hopefully Tottenham can pull this one off. They up against the Italians top club but i think A.C. Milan will be far to weak to stop them. Bale could be back so watch out for him making a few runs down that left side and in my oppinion could get himself a goal tonight. Hopefully there wont be anymore headbutts from the Italians but as with Daniell De Rossie last night anything could happen.

Barcelona vs Arsenal

Well a crappy end for Arsenal in the Champions League. I thought they put up a good fight and in the end didnt deserve to lose. Barcelona were very good on attack but besides for the the 1st goal which was created by a terrible decision from Fabregas there wasnt much threat to the Arsenal goal. The red card definately changed the game, and Arseanl fans can complain all they want, but they wouldnt be as close to Man Utd in the League if it wasnt for decisions like that going against Man Utd in their last two games.

Its UEFA time

Well it Barcelona vs Arsenal.
I think Arsenals gonna take this one with a 1-0 win.
They gonna be to pumped and focused to let Barca break them down and then Arsenal will hit them on the counter

Blackpool Vs Chelsea

A pretty average performance from Chelsea but still got a win. Torres had another shocker with his movement and first touch letting him down on pretty much every occasion. Drogba was definately the star performer. I still dont believe they'll catch Utd though

Comment of the Weekend

For all Liverpool fans who are getting ahead of yourselves.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish praised his players after the game, but insisted that United remain in the driving seat for the title: "United are still the team to beat. Last time I looked, they were still top of the table, and so, yes, they are the benchmark. Everybody would want to be in the position Manchester United are in."

Weekend Action

This weekend was quite a rollercoaster in the English Premier League. Defoe scored his first goal in more than a year in a 6 goal cracker, Arsenal somehow drew to Sunderland and the Scouse managed to make it a terrible week for Man Utd fans all over the world.
Liverpool vs Man Utd  
After defeat to Chelsea, Man Utd had to come out shining against a resurgent Liverpool team but ended up playing as poor as I’ve seen and nothing should get taken away from Suarez assist for the first goal but Man Utd defending was extremely poor, I think Wes Brown was out of his depth and our midfield was utter crap as they have been all season.  With regards to that tackle yes Nani acted like a twat but that was a shocker from Carragher and Rafael should have gotten a red to. I think Fergie has every right to not allow his players to talk to the press as after such a shocking display by the referee in the Chelsea game why should he get charged for stating his views.
