Yeah, i know it was a really disappointing week.
since i just finished my exams, i had the time to rewatch the liverpool and fulham match.
i have to disagree with you, nick.
the liverpool match was a big screwup, but that didn't mean we deserved to lose. grrr, van der sar shouldn't have acted that way. you could tell that he got upset when liver was given the penalty(he refused to stand in line) and i think, when he got the yellow card, he was just not in the mood for the game anymore. bad, bad van der sar:/ he should've at least bothered to save the last 2 goals:( he just stood there, watching the ball roll in the goal like it was in slow motion, it was painful to watch.
i had a weird feeling that park was the only one really trying to play.

but for the fulham game, i thought we played well in the 2nd half. we just couldnt score. we totally sucked during the 1st half, but when berba went off and rooney came on, i was impressed, slightly. but the red cards..sigh.
what scholes did was really dumb:P and rooney HAS TO GO for anger management classes.
but after all's said and done, you still have to love them.
so cheer up people, this weird losing streak won't last long:) although i also have an itchy feeling that something fishy is going on. like, juventus.. maybe the betting companies are blackmailing us, or bribing refs or whatnot..lol.

What a lousy weekend. Yes, we lost AGAIN. The Liverpool game i admit, we were outclassed. But. FULHAM?? Come on la!!! I was really angry. They played horribly, bad passing and crossing! Not to mention 2 red cards! So now Liverpool are chasing us real closely, it s a good thing we have a game in hand. OR ELSE, we're dead la.
COME ON MAN UTD!! WHERE IS YOUR SPIRIT???

Okay,considering that it is Inter,and United didn't really play up to par,I would say this is a routine win though we were always shaky until Ron made sure of the win for us.

Actually,I expected this to happen as before in my last post,what I wanted to describe as Inter's weakness is that they have no penetration.To be honest,their squad is good,but they lack wingers.Mancini is not in the same league as Ronaldo,Quaresma was sent to Chelsea, and Figo is just another old man collecting his pension in Italy,the land of grandfathers.Without proper support,Ibra and Adriano had to do all the hard work themselves,and there was nobody else to distract Ferdinand and Vidic,so their task was quite straightforward all night long.

In short,Inter are like Mourinho's old Chelsea.Unlike Chelsea,their midfield is not even half as powerful,and that's the reason why they couldn't break United down over two legs.The only ones worth mentioning in Inter's midfield are Zanetti and Cambiasso,who tried hard but was ultimately unsuccessful.Stankovic appears past his best but still showed flashes of his old self.

As for United,this was uncharacteristically poor,and their passes ran astray...even from *gulp* Scholes and Carrick.However I believe this is a blip,and as they progress they will improve.Long live the European champions.

Who do you wanna draw for the quarters?Personally,I would like some club to take care of Barca,and we get either Liverpool or Bayern.Please...I don't want Chelsea or Villareal (remember the four goalless ties).

And Liverpool...dream on at Old Trafford this weekend.We are not Real Madrid.

Hahahaha Mourinho!! That's all I have to say,thank you for your bottle of wine says Fergie,see you next year!

Another cup for us... no suprises there... oh. nick here by the way. Although we won. I think the match was really boring. I know Alex wanted to start with all the youngsters. But after that first half after there was hardly any chances, he should have put in Ryan Giggs already. He also should not have put Rooney to rest but put him on the bench and play him too.

Like that, we could have finished the game 2-0? No need to tire the other players. But we won at the end. That's what matters. And a special salute to Foster. He played fantastically...
