Man United 3 (Rooney 1,45) Vidic (62) Villa 1 (Bent 57)

2011-02-02T03:48:00.000-08:00

Rooney and Vidic among the goals to give Utd another win at home.

Manchester United marched on to a significant step to regaining the Barclays Premier League title with a 3-1 win against Villa and extended their unbeaten run to 29 games which equal the club record of 29 games set in 1999.

Sir Alex decide to bring the likes of Vidic,Rio,Van Der Sar,Evra,Carrick,Fletcher,Rooney and Berbatov back to the side to signal his intention of winning the match.Buoyed by Chelsea conceding so early in the Stadium Of Light,United wasted no time to stamp their authority in the game.Van Der Sar's quick thinking set United on its way when his long ball found Rooney who controlled the ball down with ease before executing a volley past Brad Frediel in just 49 seconds.Utd's fans celebrated and sensed there could be more goals to punish Villa as they started so well.Nani had a penalty decision turned down when Richard Dunne looks alleged to bring Utd's winger down in the box but Chris Foy waved play on before Nani drilling an effort which brought the best of Frediel.United were in the mood to score more but they have to wait just before half time when Nani's inviting cross found Rooney who make no mistake from five yards to give Utd's their second goal.Credit should be given to Nani as his ball found Collins and Frediel in no man's land and that was just what the doctor had ordered while Villa's record signing Darren Bent clearly struggling to impose himself in attack for the away side.

Neither teams brought changes at half time Young and Downing were trying their best to create something for their side while Rooney,Berbatov and Nani combining effectively with passes that brought some chilling moments for the Villa's defence.Villa increased their own ambition and was duly rewarded when Young draw out three Utd's defenders out to thread a pass to Bent who made no mistake in scoring and game on for Villa could they find themselves back into the game ? but Vidic had other ideas.Vidic restored United's two goal advantage when he found himself in the box and his flick on was picked up by Rooney,who lays it off straight back to him before he thumps the ball as hard as he could and it was a finish that any strikers in the world would have been proud of.Ashley Young had an effort which smacked off the post while Rooney,Nani and Berbatov came close to extending Utd's lead but it hardly matters as United picked up another crucial win before a tricky tie against Wolves at the weekend.

Spring Cleaning for New Year.

2011-02-01T07:00:00.000-08:00

Today was a wonderful day to start spring cleaning for Chinese New Year because Uncle Sunny came out finally for the first time in many days.Since Daddy and Mummy is busy with work in this few days Xi Rong decide to take the task of doing some housework for the family.I very guai right haha no need to praise me de because i am always well-behaved,looks like my skin is made of elephant's skin where got people praise himself one LOL.I started the cleaning process from 12.30pm and finshed around 3.30pm but tomorrow there is still more things for me to clean so tiring anyone willing to share the workload with me ?

Southampon 1 (Chaplow 45) Man United 2 (Owen 65) Hernadez (76)

2011-01-29T23:29:00.000-08:00

Hernadez and Owen scored one each to complete Utd's comeback on the St Mary.

For the second time in a week United had to come back from a goal behind to win the match this time at the expense of Southampon. Southampon had been impressive in the first half and got rewarded by a goal before half time before Hernadez and Owen spare Utd's blushes to book their place in the fifth round of the Fa Cup.

Sir Alex made a host of changes to the team giving a debut to Anders Lindegaard who started in goal while Oshea,Evans and Fabio played in a makeshift back four.Oberton was given a chance to impress and Owen was handed his first start of the match since injuring his hamstring against Sunderland.United got a scare on the seven minutes as defender Dan Harding put the ball into the net,but the referee made a great decision by declaring the goal was offside.Down on the other side Owen had a shot that was just wide of goal but he came even closer on the 16th min as his attempted cross struck the far post.Southampon who were 47th places below the United were not fazed by the occasion matching United and drawing Lindegaard into routine saves.On the stroke of half time they got their reward after some brilliant attacking football,Chaplow got onto a Lambert's flick before firing in an effort that smashes into the roof of the net.St Mary's erupted in delightful fashion as the scoreboard indicated Southampon 1-0 Manchester United.

Sir Alex decide to bring on Brown on for Fabio pushing Oshea to left back and on the 58th minute mark he took off ineffective duo of Anderson and Gibson by pushing Giggs and Nani to give Utd's some width while Oberton was pushed to a right winger role and the changes immediately improved Utd' rhythm of the game.Oberton who was almost anonymous in the entire half contributed to the equalizing goal as he raced down to the right flank as his cross came off Danny Seaborne for Owen to head in from seven yards and game on for United.The second goal came shortly after Owen pounced on a error from Ryan Dickson's mistake as he fed Ryan Giggs through on the goal before slipping a perfectly weighted pass through for Hernadez who made no mistake by putting United in front.United hang on for a fortunate win but they were just three wins away from booking their place in the Fa Cup Final.

Looking back at 2010

2011-01-22T00:05:00.000-08:00

Looking back at 2010 Xi Rong has so many reflections on his own life.Changes has been made in my character,new people has appeared and lastly the fun i had throughout the last year.The dramatic change in my character probably is the way i talked to people, i started to get braver with the words i use to interact with people,friends and family members.Thanks to a timely sms by one of buddy today made me realized what did i do wrong in the past and this year.I started to tease many of my friends with harsh and hurtful words without realizing how much did i hurt them in the process.

On writing his post i hope i can change and try to be nicer to the ones who is around with him because 2010 was a break through year for me i managed to know some many awesome people and some of them did eventually become one of my best pals in life.Right now i think i need to really think and try to crave out a perfect way of communicating with people.Changes may be bad or good in life but if it is affecting people that is around you then something must be really wrong i hope short little post have woken me up.

2010-12-19T05:49:00.000-08:00

Clash Of The Titans Chelsea Vs Manchester United Dec 19

2010-12-17T23:58:00.000-08:00

Park proved the difference in a highly contested game against Arsenal.

After conquering Arsenal,United set to face Chelsea in another massive clash to determine where the title would be heading this season.No one fancied United after a fast and furious start by the reigning Champions Chelsea when they swept past smaller teams in the first few games of the season,when United are struggling defensively and few had given United a chance to win the title after a few games.Extraordinary turn of events in the past month injuries and loss of form from Chelsea gave United a chance back into the race which they didn't slipped up but importantly they caught up and now are leading against the chasing pack and with a game in hand the pendulum is swinging into Utd's favour.Sir Alex would be celebrating another milestone in his managerial career that is eclipsing Sir Matt Bubsy as the longest serving Manchester United manager who could ever imagine that ?

What a remarkable job Sir Alex has done to Manchester United not only transferring them into a top team but making United one of the global icons in football,setting a high standard every season and the winning mentality he instilled to every United team he has created.Back to the preview United hopes to end a eight year winless streak at Stamford Bridge when they made their way across the capital.He sensed this could be the perfect opportunity to go and beat Chelsea and left them with a mountain to climb in the title race.Chelsea would be boosted by the return of Lampard as he set to take his place in this hugely contest affair and Chelsea hopes he would inspire them to a victory.On the other hand United will be hoping they could build on the result against Arsenal and go to Chelsea confidently.United only had long term injures to Hargreaves and Valencia to concern about otherwise United will have a full squad to choose from.Prediction Chelsea 1-2 Man United i had a feeling United is going to Stamford Bridge to end their winless streak.

Cohesive On Friday

2010-12-04T20:56:00.000-08:00

This picture was the place that describe the location of our Cohesive for Bravo Company two days ago.Can u guys guess where this place is ? Let me tell u all the answer wahahaha,this wonderful place was Kallang River but the water in the river was dirty like f***.It was supposed to be a company cohesive but in the end i and my friends got singled out and had our own Cohesive instead,we had our own fun by playing Monopoly deal hmm quite lame indeed.Thanks to our beloved Billy we had laughter throughout the whole event.He brought his field pack for the event,sometimes we can't understand why he must bring field pack whenever he books out.I took some random pictures of my friends and posted it on facebook to share it around.After the event we walk across Gelyang to have our lunch and something happened in the process thanks to Billy again LOL.We order drinks all together and handed the money to him because we need to order food,me and my friend came back after ordering food but we saw Billy struggling to pay for the drinks but the funny thing is that he had the money in the hand but why he didn't want to pay ? He explained the reason to us and we all burst into laughter when he heard his explanation for the extra 20 cents we gave,he brought us entertainment i felt the extra money we gave was worth it because we kept laughing all the way home.I hope some other day we can bring Billy out and teaches him to be more alert and not to be so blur overall the Cohesive was a success.

Dec 4 Blackpool vs Manchester United

2010-12-03T06:35:00.000-08:00

Great times for United when they ran riot against Blackburn.

After trashing Blackburn in the league last week Manchester United turns their attention when they travel to Blackpool knowing that a crucial December period would be important as they prepares to face Arsenal and Chelsea in a space of six days.United first defeat in 30 games came to hands of West Ham as they knocked the holders out by a empathic scoreline of 4-0.Changes had made in the team for that game but the manner of defeat must have made Fergie fuming.The likes of Rooney,Berbatov,Vidic and etc should be back and the weather in Blackpool must be a worry as a lot of Premier League games could be affected by the snowy condition in UK.Blackpool have no injures concern while United still would be without the services of Owen,Valencia and Hagreaves who are still injured.My prediction would be 0-2 to United as they look to bounce back from the defeat and start on a winning run.

Great Fun On Saturday

2010-11-29T04:26:00.000-08:00

The food very yummy right ?

Saturday was a fun day as i met one of my buddies in camp near his house to play ping pong wahaha.I get addicted to Ping Pong nowadays and i like to see people stretching when they tried to reach my curling shots. I looks like a big bully when i play ping pong,my wish right now would be getting my own Ping Pong racket and uses it to train regularly.Then came a moment when i faced a challenger from nowhere somemore is a kid sia lol.He gave some kick in my game and i delivered some really nasty shots to make him stretch to the limit lol no choice he quite good compared to my friend cannot give chance to him.His serves were quick,his shots were aggresive and he likes to use smash to counter back my spinning ball, i used extra spin to try to force him to commit errors.After the ping pong challenge i went to North Point with my buddy and his girlfriend haha i looks like a lightbulb but i am glad for him because such a nice guy deserve a nice girlfriend.I accompanied them to play arcade but i didn't play myself.

After that we went to a Japanese stall to have our dinner i had Terayaki Chicken with Black Pepper and comes with Omelette rich wooooooo OH GOSH how delicious it was.I hope i had more time in the future to go out with my friends as it was a enjoyment but sometimes going out is a bad thing because u will spend a lot of money haha.I too calculative but the money was well spent the next time i going to go out could be Christmas or before Christmas as it is time for some shopping !!!!!!!!!

Manchester United 7 Berbatov (2,27,47,62,70) Park (23) Nani (48) Blackburn 1 Samba (83)

2010-11-29T04:13:00.000-08:00

United finally on fire with Berba showing his class.

Manchester United swept to the top of the league by trashing Blackburn 7-1 at Old Trafford.Sir Alex must be delighted with the way United played in the entire 90 minutes.There was eagerness,hungriness and passion in the team,they look determined to win the ball whenever Blackburn has possession.Boosted by the return of Wayne Rooney,Sir Alex opt to settle for a familiar back four,while bringing back the energetic Anderson back to replace Fletcher who had an ankle injury.Carrick,Nani and Park made up the remaining of the midfield.Berbatov and Rooney was pair upfront for the first time since September 26 2010.

Right from the start of the first whistle,United had their first goal of the match.Anderson's challenge on Robinson could have been given as a foul but the referee had other ideas and waved play on,while the loose ball fell to Nani ,whose cross was flicked on by Rooney and Berbatov reacted the quickest to make contact with the ball and sent United one up just after one minute.Old Trafford erupts as it was the first time since the Bulgarian scored in the last two months.United were playing some delightful football in the opening exchanges of the match and it was a bejoy to see United playing with such freedom and confidence in the team.There were fears among the Blackburn players that a second is due to arrive sooner rather than later.The pace of United's attack were breathtaking as Rooney and Co delivered some clever one-twos among each other.The second goal was an example of top quality stuff from the Red Devils,when Rooney executed a clever one two and Rooney played a neat pass to Park,who displayed great composure by dinking the ball past Robinson.Two become three shortly when Chimbonda hit the self-destruction button by playing a horrible backpass which was cleverly intercepted by Berbatov,it was the easiest goal he scored this season and he drilled home for his second goal in the match.Vidic missed a chance to give Utd a fourth while Berbatov's mazy run could have won Utd's a penalty and opportunities to extend the lead.

Sir Alex would have been worried after the interval and wondered could his players kept the tempo just like they did in the first half.His worries would have been redunance as United got their fourth soon with Berbatov being the architect.He started the move himself in Utd's half when he played a deft back-heeled towards Evra and they combined to sent Nani through the right and Nani waits for the right moment before he passes towards Berbatov and he make no mistake by powering his effort beyond Robinson's reach and got his second hat trick of the season.What a devastating counter-attack could took Blackburn's player apart and a fifth came straight away when Anderson bursts through the middle and his accurate pass found Nani in space who teases Chimbonda and beats him before sending a curling effort into the back of the net.He matched his goal with his trademark celebration and demonstrating what an important player he is becoming to United.With so much time left Blackburn players were worried as United was at their best for the first time since ages and whenever they go forward they looks menacing.Rafael and Nani were having a great time on the right hand side and Chimbonda and Co had no idea how to cope with the duo whenever they ventures forward.Berbatov's fourth came when Nani sent Rafael through with a great pass and the Brazilian found Park but his shot was blocked by Blackburn players but the loose ball went to Berbatov and he buried home to give United their sixth goal of the match.Berbatov's day could even better when he netted a fifth,he tried to set Rooney up but the pass was blocked and it went back straight to him and he bangs in another to give United a 7-0 lead with 20 minutes left.Samba gave a consolation goal when his header beat Van Der Sar,Berbatov was denied a double hat trick when Rooney's long and hopeful ball found him and he towers past two Blackburn defenders and sent a header which Robinson pushes away.When the final whistle went off Old Trafford were celebrating and that was their biggest win since the rout against As Roma three years ago and it was the best display from United for a long time and it should kick start their season.

Man United 2 Evra (45) Chicharito (77) Wigan 0

2010-11-21T01:36:00.000-08:00

Manchester Utd recorded another routine win against Wigan as they joined Chelsea as the joint leaders in the Premier League.United will be buoyed before kick-off as they received news of Arsenal dropping points to their local rivals as Spurs made an incredible comeback to record their first away win against Arsenal since 1993.All the pre-match discussion was about Wayne Rooney as the world awaits what sort of reception he would get from the Old Trafford faithful.Evra and Hernadez scored one each to give United the victory and extended their unbeaten run to 27 games in all competition.

Wigan had a early chance to shock United when Zobgia cuts in and deliver a low cross,it was a bread and butter clearance from Vidic instead he slips under the circumstances and his poor clearance allowed Jordi Gomez to have an attempt on goal but his shot flashed wide.Hugo Rodallega tested Van Der Sar with a powerful long range effort but the Dutchman reacted and saved comfortably as Wigan show plenty of intent in the early stages of the match.Nani had United's first chance on goal when his dipping shot nearly went into the back of net but Al Habsi got a fingertip to the shot and it went out for a corner.There were few and far chances in the match,the crowd at Old Trafford was getting restless.Just when United fans was getting frustrated with their side,United got a goal just before half-time when Park swing in a deep and inviting ball and Evra rushed in and dives onto the ball to score his first goal since 2007.

Rooney and Scholes was brought to replace the industrious duo of Macheda and Park as Sir Alex intends to use the experience and flair from them.Old Trafford gave a mix reception when Rooney emerges onto the pitch,and he hopes to use his performances to convince the crowd that he still had United in his heart.Hopes for a Wigan comeback was dealt with a cruel blow when Alcaraz and Rodallega was sent off in quick succession and they were down to nine man.United players sensed that it would be a perfect opportunity to extend their lead and increased their goal difference as there is still 30 minutes to play.Rooney was denied a perfect comeback when his header was tip over the bar by Al Habsi and Old Trafford would have celebrated if their top striker had scored.United were not to be denied for a second as Rafael races clear and deliver a wonderful cross into the box and Hernadez was quick to react and connected the cross with a diving header and scored his seventh goal of the season.The fans were expecting more as there were still 15 minutes to go before the full time whistle.Nani and Hernadez had failed to get an important touch from another teasing ball from Rafael,while Rooney miss a sitter and Evra fired wide as United couldn't add to their goal tally but in the end United got a crucial result in funny odd weekend in terms of the title race.

Aston Villa Vs Man United 8.45pm

2010-11-12T06:33:00.000-08:00

Manchester United will go to Villa Park with great confidence as they are unbeaten in 25 games in all competitions.Aside from the draw against City,United were on a six game winning streak.United was able to recruit Carrick,Nani and Berbatov back to the line-up but they couldn't inspire Utd to victory.Nevertheless a draw is a fair result as both teams were too defensive.United always love to play at Villa Park as they normally win and scores plenty of goals in the process.Evra,Rafael and Scholes will be sorely missed,Evra and Rafael misses the game with injures while Scholes would be serving a suspension.Martin O Neil's departure has cost Villa dearly as they were struggling to recapture the form that propelled them into the Europa League in the last two seasons.Key injuries in midfield is a blow for Villa as they prepares to lock horns with an experience Man Utd's midfield.Although United were far from their best.i fancy United steam-rolling to a victory with a 1-0 scoreline.

Key Man

Berbatov

The talented Bulgarian started the season with a bang,scoring flurry of goals but he goes into this game without scoring in 8 matches.Goals bring confidence to striker,especially Berbatov when he is on song he would score in every game and i fully expects my boy to start scoring sooner rather than later.

Ashley Young

He is the main man for Villa as he is their creative force.He has a sweet right foot as he can deliver a killer ball if he got the right purchase of the ball.If Villa can sneak a win then Young would have to be on top of his game as Brown would try his very best to stop him from creating havoc to the United's defence.

BPL Round Up Week 11

2010-11-08T03:55:00.000-08:00

What a great weekend in the Barclays Premier League again,Chelsea lead at the top has been cut to two points while there were some shocking results around the country,lets recap the action one by one starting from the Super Sunday matches.Chelsea arrived at Anfield as favourites to run riot against the home side as the league position suggested that Chelsea were more superior to their opposition.Liverpool had other ideas as they cruise to their third victory in a row in the league by battling hard against the Chelsea and Torres was the key factor yet again to decide the outcome of the match.Both of goals scored by Torres were simply stunning as he is clearly back to his best.This was a great result for Man United especially we were entering to a crucial period of the season.

Esle where Andy Carroll scored a cracking header to sent Arsenal to another defeat at the Emirates and possibly ending their title hopes once and for all.Capello must be impressed with the way Carroll played as he looks to be pushing into a place into Capello's squad in a friendly match against France.The return of Carlos Tevez ended a three game losing streak for City as they overcome high flying West Brom Albion at the Hawthorns.This result would be music to Manici ears as it look to be a perfect way to end a horrible week as well as to prepare a derby match against United in midweek.An under strength Man United just did enough to secure a win against Wolves,Park scored a brace to extend Utd's winning streak to six matches in a row and Ferguson will hope the likes of Berbatov and Carrick could return in midweek to bolster the squad which was lacking of qualities.Blackpool and Everton played out an entertaining 2-2 draw while Blackburn and Sunderland secure three points against Wigan and Stoke respectively.Spurs champions league hang over continues as they struggle at the Reebook as Bolton ran out as winners in a thrilling game.There would be mid week matches in the Barclays Premier League lets hope there will be more goals and exhilarating action as the BPL enters into a crucial stage.

Tough Times Ahead ?

2010-11-07T03:33:00.000-08:00

Thursday was my mum's operation date early in the morning we took a cab to KK hospital and my heart were all over the place. We waited for around 1 and half hours to do all the paperwork that was required for the surgery.The operation cost around 8k very expensive right because she would be admitted to B1 ward,obviously i don't know what type of ward it is because i never been in a B1 ward before lol.I was listening to my mp3 on my Nokia X6 blasting songs from the Backstreet Boys,A1,Westlife etc as i am a big fan of the boy bands which was a instant hit some years back.

The operation took just an hour and my mum was awarded at Ward 71, i made my way there and got an instant shock as the ward was fully air-con and equipped with an LCD tv so high class !!!!!! Luckily my mum was alright and i felt money can earn back one !!! most important is being healthy.She got discharged on Saturday and i will feel happy finally she can come back home but in the next few months i will have to do a lot of house work and u all can call me Super Maria haha.Yesterday went to the Teenage Big Day out to catch some Kpop dance by the students as i got invited by my daughter,my mood wasn't good but i have to smile at them because i don't want to pour cold water on them.I felt glad to see so many old familiar faces and still a bit surprised they can remember my name some more. Whenever i am in stress i always remember one sentence that Maria Sharapova said Champions take Chances and Stress is a Privilege.I had great fun yesterday it reminds me of the YOG days,when i have the time i will ask them out for another gathering.I going to undergo a lot of things in the next few months hmm i think i will pass the test with flying colours.

A Big Day Ahead.

2010-11-03T06:27:00.000-07:00

It seems like a long time i written about myself,due to Sherlyn's comments that say my articles are lame it seems to stop me for writing for about one week.Tomorrow is a big day for me as my mum is finally undergoing her operation,my feelings is sad and worried bah.I don't know if i can smile happily or just pretend to smile to make others around me happy.Human relationship seems like a difficult topic to understand as communication with people need maturity.I find sometimes working with colleagues nowadays seems to be more and more difficult as we are probably having conflicts with each other.It is not like last time when we work happily hand in hand,doesn't complain who do the most tasks or whatever.

Recently i think the store is starting to show some crack as the relationship between the fellow store man has started to diminish.The teamwork is gone,mutual understanding disappearing and one another start to care among themselves.Obviously it is 4 months before the end of National Service but working in an enviroment like this would be hard to bear.Sometimes i feel like adopting a pet example a dog because it is so loyal to you when it doesn't see you,it will miss you and wag its cute little tails when it see its owner.Haiz no matter how hard in life i will always look to the positives,find solutions to solve the root of the problem.Whatever i need motivation i look up to Man United because they always came up with solution when people backed against them.After this article i didn't know when would i start writing again.

Manchester United 2 Vidic (31) Nani (84) Spurs 0

2010-10-31T04:21:00.000-07:00

Vida and Nani scored one each to sent Utd back to third place !!!!!

Goals from Vidic and Nani helped Manchester United registered their fourth win in a row as they produced their best performance of the season.Neutrals across the world expected a fast and furious game with plenty of goals and opportunities and the game lived up to expectation.

The pre-match talk was all about Chicharito and Rafael Van Der Varrt,two players that taken the Premier League by storm.Although both of them didn't get onto the score sheet but they tried their best to influence the game.Sir Alex chose to start Vidic and Rio as centre-back while Rafael and Evra were playing as full-backs.Wise decision by the gaffer as he was aware Bale and Lennon has a lot of pace to burn by pitting them against Rafael and Evra he hoped both of them could neutralized the threat from Bale and Lennon effectively.Fletcher,Carrick,Nani and Park made up the midfield intending to stop Modric and Van Der Varrt from creating havoc.Berbatov and Hernadez started upfront again with the absence of Rooney as the duo scored a combine total of 13 goals in all competitions..

United got their engine started quickly as Park's effort from long range rattled the post with Gomes scrambling and hoping to get a touch to divert the ball away from danger.That would be a perfect start inside the first few minutes at OT.Spurs players rallied on,stood up to soak up the early bombardment from Utd players and hoping not to concede early.Rafael Van Der Varrt took full advantage from a slip from Vidic,escaped Carrick's attention before firing an effort which beat Van Der Sar's but not the bar as Rafael was alerted to hook the loose ball away from danger.

Park and Nani was creating all sorts of problems for the Spurs' defence as they were roaming freely,coming into the middle of the park to link up with Berbatov and Chicharito.Park and Rafael both had shots off-target and Old Trafford sensing a breakthrough sooner rather than later.The goal came from a simple set piece when Kaboul hacked Hernadez from behind,earned a booking and adding insult to injury they concede from the resulting set piece.Nani whipped a teasing ball which found Vidic who escaped Assou-Ekotto's attention and planted a header which had Gomes beaten.OT was alive as the captain struck at the crucial period of the match.Van Der Varrt set up Modric who unleashes a great effort which tested the reflexes of Van Der Sar. The big Dutchman stood up to challenge and pushes his effort away from danger.Berbatov had two shots on target which was easily dealt with Gomes as Utd tried to double the advantage before half time.

Chicharito and Park cleverly play themselves through with a neat one-two but the finish couldn't match the build-up.Quick-thinking from Nani as he spotted Gomes slightly off his line and he decided to try a chip but Gomes shut the door up quickly with a routine save.Just before the hour mark Gareth Bale embarked a trademark run as he uses his pace to his advantage as he outpaced several Utd's defence but his shot went wide.Pavlyuchenko was brought on shortly to replace the ineffective Robbie Keane as few clear-cut chances were created in the second half.Roman Pavlyuchenko nearly made an instant impact when his shot deflected off Vidic and left Van Der Sar wrong-footed as the Dutchman could only see that his effort went out for a corner.

A controversial decision from Mark Clatternberg gave United their second goal but Spurs players were seen protesting furiously against the official as they deemed to agree on Nani handling the ball.Nani ran inside the Spurs penalty area and was tripped by Assou-Ekotto but a penalty kick was not given and that led Nani protesting like a baby as he lie on the ground.Seconds later, Gomes threw the ball forward,Nani looked towards the official and judging from the reaction he got,it looks like the referee indicated play on and Nani took full advantage by tapping into the empty net.It was a hilarious goal to concede but it gave United the belief that they could be gaining an important win.Nani could have put Spurs to bed in injury time as his powerful effort clipped against the crossbar and if that had gone in,the scoreline would be harsh to the Spurs team who had given a good account of themselves.In the end United hang on and extended their perfect record againf Spurs.With plently of explaining to be done by the officials after full time as Spurs player were still complaining against the decision but United couldn't care more as they are hitting top gear at the right time.

Oct 30 Manchester United Vs Spurs 12.30am

2010-10-29T06:55:00.000-07:00

Two men who had taken the Premier League by storm.

Manchester Utd set to win back to back games for the first time in the Premier League as they entertains high-flying Tottenham Spurs.United had a great record against them winning 14 and drawing once,the last time Spurs won against United was back in 1989.After the last-gasp winner from Javier Hernadez which ended a three game winless streak in the league,United will start as favourites in this game.United will be missing the services of Wayne Rooney for a longer time plus Michael Owen suffered a hamstring injury in training that severely weaken the United's attacking options.Berbatov and Hernadez should start in attack for United while the form of Hernadez will provide the fans with hope as he netted four goals in his last three games.

Key Man for Spurs

Van Der Varrt

An 8 million signing from Real Madrid is looking like a bargain now as he netted five goals for Spurs in the league.He looks like a class act in the midfield and United have to be wary of him.He has every qualities of a great midfielder,his vision,passing and importance to the the Spurs team is hugely influential as he makes the Spurs midfield ticks.I pick Fletcher to stop him as he is looking as commanding as a general in the midfield.Either of them winning the battle in the centre of the park will prove to be vital as it will affect the outcome of the match.

Key Man for United

Javier Hernadez

Nicknamed Chicharito,the little Mexican has been an instant hero in the absence of star striker Wayne Rooney.Four goals in his last three league matches and he is beginning to show his potential in the squad.With Berbatov suffering from a mini goal drought,someone have to step up to the plate if Hernadez continues his hot streak in front of goal,United look likely to get the three points in the bank.Prediction United 2-1 Spurs.

Stoke City 1 (Tuncay 81) Manchester United 2 (Hernadez 27,85)

2010-10-26T06:14:00.000-07:00

Chicharito becoming a huge fan favourite after leading United to a victory.

Manchester United came through a tough test at Britannia Stadium against a resolute Stoke City side.In the end United passed the test with flying colors after Javier Hernadez scored a brace to sink the home side and earned Manchester United their first away of the season.

Sir Alex opts to rely on the experience of Gary Neville as he made his 600th appearance for the club by starting at the right berth.Rio,Vidic and Oshea made up the rest of the defence while Evra made a surprise at left wing as the midfield is completed with the inclusion of Fletcher.Nani and Scholes while Berbatov and Hernadez started up front for United.

Berbatov's first sight of goal came when Fletcher threaded a pass through which Sorensen swiftly intervene.Moments later Berbatov led a three on two counterattacks which caught Stoke by surprise.Nani picked Chicharito on the far post but he could only helped the ball on in the end Stoke got their numbers back and get the ball away from danger.The goal came at the 27th minute mark when Nani exchanged passes with Evra from a short corner and landed a cross on the far post which Vidic flicked back to the danger area and founded Hernadez who executed a sweet-back header to head United in front.Chicharito could have a cheeky second when Faye's back pass put Sorensen under pressure as his clearance hit the Mexican on his back.Gary Neville could count himself very lucky not to get sent off as he took Matthew Etherington with a rash tackle.The official Andre Marriner declined to give the former United captain his marching orders most probably because he had just booked him just a few minutes ago that sent the home crowd booing whenever Gary gets a touch of the ball.Ferguson decide to bring on Wes Brown after half time in an attempt to protect United from going a man down and it was wise as Neville is one challenge away from a red card.

United should have a penalty when Patrica Evra raced through and was crudely shoved over in the area by Delap.The Frenchman appealed in vain but Andre Marriner didn't look interested.Sir Alex brought Carrick on for Oshea in search for more creativity in the park but it took a Van Der Sar's long throw which spilt the Stoke defence up as Berbatov was clear on goal and he produced a cross from left to right which Hernadez misses by a few inches with a volley.Then Stoke got their equalizer when Scholes lost possession cheaply in his own half and Tuncy fired a stunning left footed shot beyond Van Der Sar's grasp and yet again United threw a lead away from a winning position.United players look at each other in disgust as they defended brilliantly today but in the end it took a moment of brilliance from Tuncay as Stoke netted their first goal in five attempts against Manchester United.

Thankfully United reacted this time and mastered enough courage to try to find a winner before full time.Scholes atoned for his error when he headed on Berbatov's chipped pass ;Evra controlled it with his chest and hooked the ball inside for the lurking Chicharito to stab his second goal of the match.United fans and players celebrated wildly in front of Stoke fans as if they had won the title already.United ended a turbulent week with their first away win of the season as they closed the gap back to five points behind the league leaders Chelsea.

Haha Ruolan she is far more cuter than u !!!!!!!!!

This week in Singapore we witness for the first time in four years the PSI reading went up to over 100 and it is extremely unhealthy for them to do outdoor activities i urge if possible we should just stay at home to rot.I was forced to go out today to return the books otherwise i would have been fined by the library,borrowed a book to brush up my English and learning ways to improve my blog and probably writing a short novel on my blog to share with the people who read my blog.I am eagerly looking forward to next Sunday as there would be an outing,not many people would be going but i supposed the numbers doesn't matter as i know i am going to make the event as fun as possible.Having a new haircut is a must because my hair looks like rubbish at the moment and getting sticky is another must for the kids.

I bet Ruolan will be the most kiasu of all because she has been pestering me for sticky for some time,i will buy one pack for her but i am not going to reveal which flavour of sticky i am going to buy for her as i want to make her heart itchy.I can sense her reaction if she read this on my blog wahaha am i bad ? Nothing more to add on i would sign off from here.

Oct 24 Sunday Stoke City Vs Man United

2010-10-22T06:36:00.000-07:00

What an extraordinary week of Wayne Rooney's Saga which has dominated the newspaper in UK and lots of speculation that the United number 10 was seeking new pastures and doesn't want to stay at Old Trafford.Ferguson and Gill arranged a emergency meeting with Wayne on Thursday to try to convince him to stay,it pay dividends as we heard from ManUtd.com that he is signing a new five year deal to rubbish any rumours that he is set to leave United.I always had faith in him in this saga i know Wayne isn 't having a great time in his life now,he needs time to sort his thinking out.Enough of the negative talk around Old Trafford this week United need to get their Premier League campaign back on track as they drew their last 4 games.

United know that going to Stoke City on Sunday won't be easy as they don't get roll often at home but with Rooney staying and possibly playing i can sense a black lash from United players as they were eager to prove themselves.Based on the form United aren't playing well and need a big result to kick off their season after some much of negativism in past one week or so i expected an reaction from Fergie's boys and i going for a bold 1-3 United victory with Rooney and Berbatov scoring.

What a week to start your week ahead with a two days mc from the doctor,i went back to camp on Monday hoping that my toothache was clearing but in the end when i reached home.After having dinner the pain came back and i was crying for more painkillers.I decide to go to the polyclinic today to ask for the doctor to refer me to hospital for the dental treatment as you know NS do things like tortoise by the way if i went for the appointment in camp i think i am already half-dead.Thankfully the doctor referred me to Tan Tock Seng hospital for further treatment and gave me more painkillers for me to eat.Enough of toothache must switch my attention to other stuffs ~.

On Sunday i got to watch Federer Vs Murray on Tv at the Shanghai Masters,shocked with the way Roger played his tennis but appreciated Murray's excellent tennis as in the end the better man won.I wanted to thank a special person in my life who helped me overcome obstacles in my life and teaches me to look for solutions in life.He is one of my buddies in life he is none than Lincoln wahaha are u surprised to see your own name in my blog ? I hope u will like it because u helped me along the way and make me look at bigger pictures in life now.My life is not all about Manchester United nowadays as it is getting interesting as i know more people from other sectors of life and my aim is to help as many people in my life.Ruolan and Zhaoying the best of luck in business,it would be an great experience to let u two know how difficult it is to make money in life,i would try to help you customers la but if they don't want to buy then it is not my problem already lol.Time to sign off again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So sad cannot eat dessert due to toothache.

The past few days i have been taking medicine for fun to ease the pain of toothache,the medicine i like to take the most is probably the painkiller as it can control the pain and let me have a sweet sleep throughout the night.Now when i saw people eat my favourite dessert i kind of being jealous as i can't touch cold stuff recently.Other than that this week has been short and fun as i visited the doctor more than i went to camp lol.I can't wait for Oct 31 as i got to meet some kids from Yog again it has been quite a long time i last seen them as YOG has ended 2 months ago time passes quickly i feel that maybe in a few months i may forget them completely after i left the army,i can bet people must be cursing me heartless.

My mum recently went to Genting Highlands from Monday to Wednesday,she didn't buy any clothes for me which was so sad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all she bought was food food food.She won $100 while playing the jackpot felt so happy and excited for her because when everyone gambles they always hope to win some money to tide over the situation.Yesterday watch the whole night of BPL yet again United threw away a two goal lead something must be wrong with them recently as they threw away lead like water but i hope they can refocus soon to challenge Chelsea for the title regardless of what they did i will always support them as they had been in my life for 11 long years.Lastly i hope my toothache can be cured soon as i don't want to suffer in agony everyday wondering will i get to sleep sweetly throughout the night.

16 Oct Manchester United Vs West Brom 10pm

2010-10-15T06:47:00.000-07:00

United needs the both of them to be on form.

After two weeks of international break the Barclays Premier League set to return on Saturday after a long two week absence.6 matches will be played simultaneously the one i will be looking forward will be none other than Manchester United facing West Brom.United had fired blanks in away matches this season,this represents a perfect opportunity for them to grab hold of three points and cut Chelsea's lead before they face Aston Villa at Villa Park.Rooney had dominated in the UK headlines yet again this week suggesting that a bust-up with Fergie had prevented him from playing against Valencia and Sunderland a couple of weeks ago.It looks like a typical media scam trying to screw his relationship with Fergie to a new low.The bonus for United at the moment was they kept two clean sheets in a row with Rio marshalling the defence superbly so it would be a matter of time that United will start winning games.Lastly the prediction United 3-1 West Brom i hope it is not a short preview lol.

I took around 2 hours and yet i still cannot finish walking,my legs were so tired and needed a break.Finally my mission was accomplished and i went to Compass Point to meet Rayner and Ruolan lol.Hmm i waited them for around 15 to 20 minutes not say very long la but while waiting i saw some of YOG kids but some of them cannot recognize me anymore haha i don't blame them so long never meet them already everyone has move on with their life.I got to eat kfc today finally my ulcer was cured i got to enjoy some heaty food.I feel i got so much things to write but i am lazy to squeeze my brain to think about more things to write.Lastly looking forward to the trip to the Zoo this week.

First Update of the week

2010-10-07T03:16:00.000-07:00

The Smile that can melt any heart in the world wahaha !!!!!!!

This week has been short in camp as we all got to go home on a Wednesday night,maybe it is to compensate for the man because they had so much outfield in the past month.Thursday was an off for the battalion but the dumbest thing is to go Safti tomorrow for Sports day spoil my mood have to out ration there pui loh !!!!!!!!!!!!! Next Monday and Tuesday is either block leave or off again haha so shiok right no need to go back camp while others go to work and study.Enough of camp stuffs i am afraid i will be become a boring person if i think of camp everyday lol.I had some great chats with friends in camp particular with Billy and Hafiz we chat about the bread and butter issues in Singapore right now but i don't want to elaborate too much as i can take ages to explain.

One thing we all agreed on is whether Singaporeans willing to do Community Work in the public or they expects something in return after they did the voluntary work ? Three of us has our own views we continue to chat about different stuffs and i am surprised we chat about three hours lol,three man having such a long chat as it is quite odd.Another bad thing is my friend's mum has been diagnose with breast cancer i hope he can hold on and remain positive in life as there is so much for us to conquer in our life.Focusing on myself i bought two dvds to try to keep occupied this week before deciding where should i go this weekend ? I hope someone can give me some ideas which is the most attractive place in Singapore to go to ? I read the newspaper article about Berbatov which i like it so much that i have decide to share with people in my blog,i am so surprised he is such a shy person in life haha but to me he is charming when he play for United because he looks so cool when he play lol,another article i found interesting is Nani describing how he loved football by playing in the morning until night when he was still schooling i think i had that common thought if i am not in Singapore most probably i would been playing soccer as a professional job.OMG how i dreamt about people cheering Xi Rong Xi Rong in some of most famous stadium in the world but back to reality i don't think that will ever happen bah.

BPL Week 7 Round Up

2010-10-04T06:17:00.000-07:00

It has been a another fantastic weekend in the Barcalys Premier League.The game of the weekend took stage at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea hosted Arsenal in an classic encounter and the game certainly live up to its billing.Arsenal at times play beautiful,attractive football that could took the breath of anyone in the world but they didn't took their chances and finish on the losing side against Chelsea yet again with Didger Drogba the main culprit as he scored his 13th goal in 13th game against Arsenal while Alex sealed the points for the blues with a thumping free-kick.U got to admit the way Chelsea played their football they were ruthless,decisive and clinical in front of goal while Arsenal wasted opportunities to get in front.Salute the Blues as they are the team to beat this season.Manchester United got a great chance to pile the pressure on Chelsea as they played one day before the Champions played Arsenal but it was a toothless display from United as they struggle to create clear-cut chances but the positive sign are United getting back their magnificent defence slowly and u can sense if they could spring a run of victories they are the still the likest team to challenge Chelsea.Man City rose to the second spot after overcoming a stubborn Newcastle side at the City of Manchester Stadium,Adam Johnson was the magic man as he netted a magnificent goal to break the Geordies hearts while Blackpool celebrated a unlikely win against Liverpool which shocked the whole world.I have to pity the fans at Anfield because their team at the moment is struggling badly,playing without confidence and stuck at dangerous spot in the table.I will be taking a two weeks before writing another soccer article as the premier league go for a international break.

Happy Children Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-10-01T07:09:00.000-07:00

Today i should start with a blog article by wishing a very happy children day to all the wonderful kids around the world and sincerely hoped that they enjoyed themselves as today is a special day to reward the kids.I wished some of my camp mates that and they thought i was crazy haha but i had fun teasing them i enjoyed teasing people a lot.Yesterday my friend's girlfriend sent him a mcdelivery and he got teased by my friend and me as they dubbed the Macdonald meal as an Ai Xin Bian Dang i got imaginative brain right lol sorry for praising myself so much lol.I spent the entire day by sleeping in camp from 1pm to 4pm i think i getting fatter as i always sleep after i eat,luckily in the evening i went running to reduce some of my fats if not i think very soon i going to be a glutton.Next two months should be very tough for me as my mum will be going to have an operation on Nov 4 the medical bills cost around 8k which i thought it is very expensive i don't know how to cope with it maybe the smile from my face will disappear.Ruolan and Sherlyn always say i am slacker but i come home everyday with a reason to help to do housework let my mum rest at home after work so next time please don't say i am a slacker anymore.Haha i think some of the people in the camp still don't know i came home everyday but i hope to keep as low profile as possible.weekend approaches again i think i will go out tomorrow and enjoy my usual routine of football at night lol.

Sunderland Vs Man United Oct 2 2010 10pm

2010-10-01T06:56:00.000-07:00

Manchester United has a chance to close the gap on league leaders Chelsea when they travelled to Stadium of Light this weekend before Chelsea faced Arsenal in a super Sunday clash.United are still seeking their first away win of the season as they returned from a midweek victory against a very strong Valencia side.In the champion league we saw a tired Manchester United team struggling to make an impact in the game and created a few chances but in the end it took two fresh players Macheda and Hernadez to break the deadlock while Nani was excellent throughout the game.Obviously United have worries in the defence as they haven't keep a clean sheet away from home in the league but the return of Rio has boosted the morale as they shut up shop in Valencia and i hoping he do start at the back on Saturday.Carrick and Anderson had a run out too while Giggs,Rooney and Scholes are still out with calf,ankle and hamstring injury.The danger man United should watch out for against Sunderland is none other than Darren Bent who has a habit of scoring against the traditional big four.Last week he got a couple at Anfield so Vidic and Co have to pay special attention to him while Carrick should retained his place alongside with Fletcher while Owen or Hernadez could be given a chance to shine alongside with Ditimar Berbatov.Prediction time Sunderland 1-2 Manchester Berbatov and Nani to score for me.

What a Frustrating Day In Camp

2010-09-28T06:34:00.000-07:00

Today is one of the worst day in camp i ever experienced from morning to evening i worked like a dog and got f*** by nothing.Sometimes i wonder why our CSM always offended other people in other companies and basically we always got the arrow and got scolded by other high ranking superiors.The first stuff i did was to shift some stupid combat rations back to the store and waited for the nagging lady to inspect,seal it and kept it in our store.Finally after two hours i managed to return to my bunk to have a sweet rest but was woken up by some people who asked me to open the store to get a mallet.WTF !!!!!!!!!!! i was sleeping so soundly and got disturbed for nothing.Then came the killer sms from our beloved Sergeant Major is to unload the trailer filled with con wires,iron pickets and some stupid net which i don't know how to spell,i was furious and hanged up the phone lol and made my store ic called the company line to get me some man power.After seeing so many people i felt quite happy lol as we can finish the task in a few minutes,the last of the day is to out ration for the company and my job was done and finally i can go home !!!!!!!!!!!.On my way back home i could hear my bed calling out XI RONG XI RONG please come to bed wahaha.Tomorrow they will be out of camp,i will be trying my utmost best to tidy up the store and catch some sleep before watching my favourite United in action in Champions League woooooooo what a way to encourage myself to define the odds and forget the unhappiness in camp.

Bolton 2 (Knight 5) Petrov (66) Manchester United 2 Nani (22) Owen (73)

2010-09-27T04:14:00.000-07:00

Manchester United are still seeking their first away win of the season as they failed to capitalise on Man City's victory over Chelsea.It has been another strange weekend in the Barclays Premier League as the traditional big all failed to win a match.

United would have been in a disastrous position if not for an outstanding solo goal from Nani,as well as a clinical header from Michael Owen or else they would have been four points behind Chelsea.Obviously a draw wasn't considered bad as they came behind twice to snatch a point from Bolton and remained unbeaten in the league.

Before kick-off Sir Alex must have stressed the United players to be more ruthless in front of goal and to be extra cautious not to concede a goal early in the game.United started brightly when Rooney's pass found Berbatov instead of squaring the ball for Giggs,who was in a better position,he opt to shoot from an impossible angle as his confidence was sky-high as he netted seven goals in six Premier League game.United got a shock when Bolton scored from a set piece when Zat Knight headed the home side in front just after six minutes.United got their equalizer when Nani's mazy run through the half-way line was capped off with a Ronaldo's like finish and he is starting to show his true potential and becoming an important player for United.The goal settled United down and some of the football played between Giggs,Berbatov,Rooney and Nani was outstanding but it didn't produce a second goal from United before they headed for a break.

The way both teams started the second half was not as frantic as the first as Fergie was enforced to make two substitutions,with Giggs replaced by Park while Rooney make way for Macheda.Rooney was not at his usual best but he is starting to show glimpses of his talent today and hopefully the fans and Ferguson could see the Old Wayne Rooney back soon.Bolton caught United off-guard when they executed a swift and decisive counter-attack finished off by Martin Petrov as his shot was deflected through Darren Fletcher's intervention.Fergie brought Owen on shortly to form a three man attack as there was an urgency for goals.Owen had an instant impact in the game as he headed in a goal from a Nani's cross to draw United back on level terms.It was a trademark headed goal from Owen as he was basically the smallest man among the pool of Bolton defenders but he still manage to leap at the right moment to haul United back into the match.Obviously there was time for a winner as United press forward while Bolton were trying to catch United on the break.Neither side could nick it at the end as United ended another away trip with a point.United would be more disappointed of the two as their defence was insecure and their attacking instincts were either great.In the end United still remain unbeaten in the league as they cut Chelsea's lead to three points and in terms of the title race we shall judge during Oct to see if United could close the gap as quickly as possible.

Too Long Never Update myself.

2010-09-25T03:08:00.000-07:00

Suddenly i realized that i didn't write about myself for such a long time haha i don't know why i have the urge to write today maybe because someone was pestering me or reminding me to update my personal life rather than to write about soccer everyday.So today i decide to write about myself and hope people won't mind me writing about soccer because it has been a passion for me to write about soccer articles. YOG has officially ended a month ago how times passes initially the rehearsal was held at Mandai Hill Camp before shifting to Marina Platform things changes a lot from Mandai to Marina as Mandai is an enclosed area and didn't really involve in communicating with the students.Obviously being a quiet person i didn't really like to interact with people from other schools or other organization because i love to do things alone example going out alone playing alone etc that opportunity at Platform did boost my confidence as i had to speak and look after students as if i am their parents.After Yog i did try my best to forget the fun i had with them but at the moment i am still having difficulties to forget it because they added me on facebook the only way to forget them is to delete them from my friend list but i don't think i had the courage to do it yet.Enough of talking about the sad memories focusing my stuffs at camp recently there have been a lot of field camp going on in the unit i have been busy loading up stores and it has been so tiring sometimes when i lie on my bed i just fall asleep within 10 minutes as i was too tired.Thankfully i have managed to enjoy my weekend peacefully as i got to watch Manchester United which is the best gift from God and i am hoping that they can do well in the upcoming season.I looking forward to playing F1 2010 as well as to buy Hebe new album soon as i prepared for a long week in camp.

Manchester United 3 Berbatov (42,59,84) Liverpool 2 (Gerrard 64,70)

2010-09-23T07:38:00.000-07:00

On a Super Sunday which promised pride,passion,drama and exhilarating action and it was Manchester United who won the bragging rights against Liverpool as they emerge victoriously against their arch rivals Liverpool.Dimitar Berbatov was the outstanding player and i am running out of superlatives to describe this talented Bulgarian who made an incredible start to the season by netting six in six games.Both teams started slowly and cautiously by not giving possession and chances were far from many.The first real action came around in the 18th minute of the match when Berbatov's clever dummy left Carragher stranding and he spins away from his marker and played a delightful one-two with Rooney which sent Nani into a wonderful position but he dallied to shoot at goal and his pass went to Rooney instead but his effort was blocked by by the on-rushing Liverpool defenders and the rebound fell to Nani in turn whose shot went right into the air.Liverpool's first chance of a shot on goal came from Glen Johnson as his fierce drive went inches wide of the far post as the football was not as flowing as many neutrals would hope.The goal came three minutes before half-time when Ryan Giggs whipped in a corner which Berbatov escaped Torres' attention to give Utd a deserved lead at the break and changed the mood at Old Trafford.

Directly after the break Nani's shot rattled the post as United continued to pile more pressure in front of Liverpool's goal.Berbatov's second would probably be a goal of the season contender when he controlled a Nani's cross with his thigh before unleashing an unbelievable bicycle kick with a bit of help from the crossbar and looped straight past Reina's head to give Utd a comfortable lead.Liverpool got back into the game when Evans committed a silly foul on Torres in the box and Steven Gerrard made no mistake from the spot as his composed penalty went into the back of the net.Van Der Sar would had been disappointed as he had virtually nothing to do in the first hour of the match.United fans started to get anxious and wondered it Utd were going to throw away a two goal lead just like the Everton match a week ago.Their fear turned to reality when Oshea fouled Torres just outside the box and he was lucky not to get sent off as he was the last defender.From the resulting free kick Gerrard scored and replays suggested that if Darren Fletcher had stood still and didn't move away the equalizer would have been prevented.Once again United threw away a lead when they were playing so well and looking comfortable and judging from the fans and players's reaction they clearly didn't enjoy it.Suddenly it became Liverpool who started to feel more confidence and felt that a win at Old Trafford could happen.Sir Alex decided to turn to Macheda to give Utd a bit more steel upfront and hoped for a fairytale moment from the wonderkid.Two became three for Ditimar as Oshea made up for his mistake by putting a fabulous cross from the right which Berbatov outjumped Carragher to beat Reina for the third time and became an instant hero at the Strentford end.After scoring the third goal Utd knew that they were not going to throw away the lead as they kept the ball into the corner as they gained three precious point and remained just four points behind Chelsea in the title race.

Man United Vs Liverpool 8.30pm 19 September

2010-09-17T08:02:00.000-07:00

The biggest fixture in the English Calender set to take stage at Old Trafford when Manchester United entertain Liverpool in a must win game for both side to kick start their season.United already lacking four points behind Chelsea after 5 games knowing that anything but a victory could sparkle them back into life and reflected every criticism coming from the media this week.In these type of matches it always take one moment of magic from a special player as well as a mistake to break the deadlock as a Utd fan i certainly hope the magic would come from Rooney who clearly has been suffering a lot since the World Cup.I was wondering is he suffering from the post World Cup depression when he didn't perform for England and the scandal which is affecting his marriage.To me Wayne just needs to calm down and play football in a simple manner gradually the fans and me will get to see the Old Wayne who is terrorizing defenders.The key players for Utd in this game could be Scholes and Berbatov as both of them started the season brilliantly.Scholes has been dominating the midfield spraying accurate passes to his colleagues while Berbatov has been firing in goals all over the place.If the duo could be play well that Utd will be in a shout to beat Liverpool while Torres must be taken care of as he scoring lots of goals against United when Liverpool beat United three times in a row.I hope Rio could start after completing 90 minutes against Rangers as he and Vidic was the key that why United won three titles in a row as both of them forge a strong spine at the back for Utd. I am pretty done with my talking and lastly it is prediction time i would go for a 2-1 victory for Utd as i think they would bounce back from a pretty disappointing week.

Man Utd Vs Rangers 2.45am Battle of Britain

2010-09-14T07:17:00.000-07:00

The world's most famous competition returns for the first time this season as fans around the world is looking forward to another glorious seasons of the Uefa Champion League.The qualifying rounds starts at mid-July for some minnows as they looked to lock horns with some of the biggest clubs in the world.As we approached to the group phrase of the competition only 32 teams are left and divided into Group A to H.The top two in each group will qualify for the knockout phrase and without a doubt the likes of Real Madrid,Barcelona,Man United,Milan and Chelsea are the likeliest contenders for the trophy.Now focusing on the United game as the battle of Britain looks as exciting as any match on this Champion League Calender when United entertains Rangers at Old Trafford.The disappointment at Goodison Park should provides extra incentive for Utd to bounce back as they face a big week in their domestic season.Paper across the global this weekend have made harsh comments on United writing off their chances of winning the league as Chelsea made a terrific start to their title defence by winning first four games of the season.Ferguson had been written off the peril so many times in the past but everytime he managed to build a new dynasty and an classic example was during 2006 to 2009 what United had achieved had everyone in the world in awe as they dominated domestic and euporean competitions.The teams news is encouraging as Rio and Rooney will return to the side to boost the defence as well as the attack.I backed United to open their account in the Champion League by beating Rangers by two or three clear goals before they entertain Liverpool on this coming Sunday.

Luck Is Not On United side.

2010-09-12T00:49:00.000-07:00

It really hurts very badly for me to write this post today my mind is really at blank now.How i wish i can sleep the whole week without doing anything.Yesterday match nearly made me cry for United again i haven't shed any tears for them since 2004 but the disappointment yesterday was too huge for me to bear i am glad i didn't cry but the feeling of disappointment is really sour in my heart.I thought they really played well and defended well after Everton scored but maybe lady luck is not on their side at the moment i enjoyed the goals from Berbatov,Vida and Fletcher it may seems early days but judging from what United are doing i still fancy them to win the title.Reports from UK and Singapore maybe be bombarding on United's defence and laughing at them right now but in the end i know United will always try to define critics and make ppl eat their own words.4 games gone they are still unbeaten i still think they made a great start to the season as traditionally United don't start so well in the season maybe a victory against Rangers and Liverpool will bring back the smile to every Utd fans across the global adios.

United couldn't wish for a tough fixture than to face Everton after a two week international break from domestic football.United beat West Ham a couple of weeks ago at Old Trafford but this time around traveling to Goodison Park would present a stern test to the reds.Wayne Rooney's scandal has dominated the headlines in the press in the past week and he awaits an even more hostile atmosphere at the ground which he started his career as a professional.For me i don't think it is not a problem for Wayne because throughout his career he has faced difficulties and he thrives on it.The display against the Swiss in mid-week has already proven my point as he single-handley inspired England to a victory.The team news ahead for this trip United will be missing Carrick for about three to four weeks after he suffered achilles injury otherwise United will be boosted by the return of Rio as they prepared a crucial week ahead.Prediction Everton 1-1 United a draw would not be a bad result but if Utd can win i would be proud of their effort.

Wayne's Scandal

2010-09-06T07:22:00.000-07:00

Why Footballers must always be involved in sex scandals ? John Terry,Ribery,Benzema etc had their own scandals in the past but the latest who was involved in the scandal was none other than Manchester United Superstar Wayne Rooney.I was so shocked to read the report from News of the world when it came out on Sunday and i was thinking this was one of the reasons that is affecting him during the recent World Cup. For me he is always the guy i look upon as a role model after he became a father last year,he matured a lot since his early days and thought he was a dependable guy to look up on but after reading the scandal i had second thoughts about it.Why more and more successful sports personnel in the world are starting to cheat on their wives.The reason could be when you are more successful and the more money you earn could give you the right to attract more female attention ? We witness Wayne getting back to his form in the last two matches and i certainly hope the private allegation about his life won't affect his footballing future because he is a talented player that United depended on and his talents shouldn't be wasted on this scandal.The best way to define the critics is to put up some astonishing performances for club and country and the last words i would say I Trust You Wayne u should know what to do.

Man United 3 (Rooney 33) Nani (50) Berbatov (69) West Ham 0

2010-08-28T22:34:00.000-07:00

Wayne Rooney opening his account for the season.

Manchester United piled more misery on Avram Grant's when United showed their class and superiority trashing West Ham 3 goals to nil. Prior to kick off Chelsea had already beaten Stoke City 2-0 that means a win is absolutely vital to keep pace with the league leaders. United made three changes to the line up which drew against Fulham 6 days ago by bringing in Nani,Giggs and Rooney to replace Park,Hernadez and Valencia in the starting lineup.United had to wait until the 10th minute before they had their first effort on target and it didn't came as a surprise when it is Rooney who had the first shot of the evening as his low drive went straight to the hands of Rob Green. Vidic long pass found Berbatov who executed an exquisite back-heel which set Nani up for a powerful drive which had Rob Green scrambling but in the end the West Ham goalkeeper made a terrific save to push the effort onto the bar.After 33 minutes of play United finally got the lead when Spector tripped Giggs on the six yard box when the veteran try to trick his way past the West Ham defender and it left the referee with no choice but to award Utd with a penalty.Up steps Wayne Rooney who hasn't scored in 13 matches for club and country and he made no mistake to give Utd a deserved lead and u can see the relief on his face and his team mates when he netted his first goal of the season.Before the interval United had two great chances to extend their lead but Green came to West Ham's rescue by tipping Darren Fletcher's curling shot away from the goal while Giggs's delightful ball found Nani clear but he applied too much strength on his lob and it went straight over the bar.United had a slender lead at half time and clearly they should have been at least a couple of goals more if they had more ruthless in front of goal

United found their rhythm quickly in the second half when Nani cuts in a couple of defenders and the slip from Gabbidon made it easier for him to unleash a powerful drive to put United 2-0 up just after the break.After scoring the second goal United displayed some slick passing football and trickery but it was West ham who nearly came back into the match when Dyer's effort hit the outside of the post and that had gone in u bet Sir Alex would be disappointed with the way his team defending.The goal of the match came when Nani's cross found Berbatov clear who in turn executed a terrific scissors kick that no in the world would have attempted it. It was his third goal of the season and things were looking very good for Berbatov.Sir Alex sensing the game was over for West Ham and he decided to give the likes of Carrick,Smalling and Owen some minutes on the pitch.United in the end hang on to this victory and go into the international break just two points behind Chelsea.

28 Aug Man United Vs West Ham

2010-08-27T07:39:00.000-07:00

Manchester United are set to entertain West Ham on home turf in a bid to close down the league leaders Chelsea. Chelsea could be five points ahead of Utd before they even started their encounter with West Ham.Things was looking quite good when Berbatov Fletcher and Giggs score to give Utd an empathic victory against newcomers Newcastle before Fulham came along to crash the party by scoring an late equalizer at Craven Cottage.Obviously i think majority of the players would be disappointed because they had a chance to seal the victory if Nani doesn't miss the crucial spot kick.Rio is back in training for Utd that is good news to the defence as Johny Evans was man-handled by Bobby Zamora last week as well as Anderson was involved in the reserves earlier in the week. West Ham started the season poorly losing their first two games and facing United at Old Trafford as an daunting task my prediction would be United 3-0 West Ham.

Cherish the Good Moment in Life before regretting it.

2010-08-20T08:47:00.000-07:00

I can't find a better picture at the moment due to some difficulties.Let me conclude what i did for the past following month.YOG has came to end on August 14 after the Opening Ceremony at Platform what i can say is i do miss the kids a lot and i appreciate their kindness for making me having some many memorable memories at YOG.Right now is tuning my attention back to camp obviously i need time switch myself back from CV life to army life but i think i am coping well. With United trashing Newcastle on Monday making such a perfect start to the League campaign signal their intention to reclaiming the EPL Title.As my title suggested good memories in life would change dramatically if someone started to change.Sometimes people changes without knowing i feel that my so called best friend in camp is starting to change without him realizing it.Is it a good thing a not ? i don't know but i think i am starting to hate him bit by bit i should stop here because i don't really like to talk back about people at their back.Weekend should be spending time out for me as YOG finally ends no more Saturday burn liao loh !!!!!!!!! so happy.

15 August Man United Vs Newcastle 2010

2010-08-12T21:49:00.000-07:00

It has been ages since I last wrote a preview article somehow I think my ideas are running out but I would try my best to bring at least a preview every month. Last Sunday United exerted revenge on the defending champions by whacking them 3-1 at Wembley Stadium which was a good start to their campaign. Obviously not being the defending champions this year should make the players more determined to get back what they want. United had spent wisely this season by bringing additional players to add to the depth of the squad. Chris Smalling was brought in to boost the defence as last season United had a series of key injures at the back that cost them the title. While Chicharito was brought in to lighten the load of Wayne Rooney’s shoulders. The first of the game is really difficult to predict but I will still go for a comfortable United win by the score line of 3-0.

My Favourite Actress in Tvb

2010-07-25T06:26:00.000-07:00

Hello friends recently i can't think of too much stuffs to update i decide to update my favourite actress in tvb. Like i said human beings always got attracted by beautiful things i am one of those typical human being i like beautiful stuffs. These four ladies that i mentioned are pretty,talented and cute !!!!!!!!! i like the way they acted. I watched some of the drama just because of them but sometimes as u know Hong Kong Drama is much better than Singapore ones. The actresses and actor are much better trained as they undergo a series of test before they can be a full time actor. I am glad two more weeks the domestic English league is back but i am sad as August has came and Yog is coming to an end.Before i got involved in that event i was pretty pissed off because i have to take care of so many kids at a time but as time goes on maybe there is mutual feelings as people see each other for so long and there is a bond that is created. Hmm i do talk to students sometimes but i don't know why kids has so many questions to ask and i often got tested to the limit.I am going to miss Yog badly when it ends but i will be glad as United is back that is my most important ingredient in life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Didn't Know YOG is so tiring.

2010-07-18T01:35:00.000-07:00

This week had been dominated by Yog again as our battalion was all activated by YOG as we moved to Marina Platform for rehearsal. I can see myself and the students getting more tired as the deadline for Yog approaches,the route to the platform is a 10 min distance walk imagined how shag we can be if we walked through that route for a number of times in a day. I spent a lot of money on Yog too as my hand phone bill increases to 90 last month and this month it became 113 wtf was that lol. Yesterday was a long day at Platform and i somehow pitied the students as they look tired and a number of students say bye to me and managed to talk to me which i felt good about it as we started to communicate on a more often basic. I just can't wait for July to end as the EPL Is back and i am so glad United won yesterday wooooo it always good to see them back and somehow i think i will miss the YOG event if it ends as i wouldn't have another chance to be a childcare taker anymore and i wouldn't have the opportunity to mix with younger people lol.

Barca Barca Barca Ole Ole Ole

2010-07-11T07:36:00.000-07:00

Hola Barcelona should be ideal sentence to start my latest blog entry, i started my Football Manager journey with Barcelona this time around as i am impressed with the core of players they had in their squad. I added Iaquinta from Juventus what a great signing he had been for me i signed him for only 12.75m and he gave me 24 goals in his debut season what a great bargain was that. In midfield i added Angel Di Maria while Podolski was signed in the winter transfer window to beef up my attacking options. Although i didn't won the league in my first season but i started the second season strongly i am lacking behind in the league at the moment but with the signings i am going to make in January would probably capture attention. I could sign Ribery for 25m for me that would be a fantastic addition to my team and i may need to sell some of the lousier players to other teams to balance the squad harmony. I would update about myself soon after i think of some interesting things to write ? now is time for Football Manager !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Men Do Cry Sometimes !!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-07-04T20:49:00.000-07:00

These pictures that i uploaded on this article do show that men too have their own feelings. In life men must be put up a strong character when his loved ones are in trouble unlike ladies they use crying to vent their sadness or disappointment away. These are some pictures which show that men do cry, a classic example was Federer was sobbing so badly after his defeat against Nadal in 2009 when everything looks bad for him but a unfortunate injury to Nadal last year in May made Federer stronger and more determined to fight his way back to the top after a difficult 2008. He won his first French Open as well as overhauling Pete's Sampras at Wimbledon setting a new record of winning his 15th Grand Slam title, this year he beat Murray and won his first Aussie Open since 2007. After winning that title his form dipped a lot losing in quarter final at Wimbledon and French Open and dropping to 3rd in the world. I haven't see him crying since 2009 but i think deep inside his heart he must been struggling obviously Nadal is the new number 1 yet again i foresee Federer has to try even harder to win his world number 1 ranking back. To every man out there it could be seen as a weakling if u cry in front of people but it is better to show your feelings out rather than to keep it inside, it could affect your future life or u can get depression after that. My message to the world of all men is to come on cheer up !!!!!!! we can be stronger.

Human Being are Selfish

2010-06-28T20:33:00.000-07:00

I am posing this question to every human being in the world out now there, Why are u guys selfish ? Why do people think for themselves ? I am starting to have the feelings right now i should turn cold-blooded and cruel towards the people i don't like ? This world is just getting worse i feel that when disaster occurred probably is a way that God wants to punish human being and i don't blame God for doing it now because humans on the planets deserved to die sometimes. How i wish i don't need to communicate with other people in the world how i wish i could get the solo living soul on the planet. Am i turning into a nasty creature ? I hope not because i don't wish to turn into one. There are a lot of problems that was created by human being, air pollution, selfishness etc. As the days go by i will have to think of new reasons to be positive in life ?

The Society is harsh !!!!!!!!!!!

2010-06-23T05:15:00.000-07:00

Rooney is keeping me strong and cheerful right now.

After 5 days i managed to calm down about my mum's condition and the songs i am listening everyday is so soothing to my ears that i managed to think things in a better way. I can't imagine after Youth Olympics Games i have to stay in camp almost everyday anyway i am used to it but the family problem makes my heart think about home if i am in camp. The things i am worried about is how i need to support my family's income when my mum went to have operation in August ? Hmm i can't work full time as i am in the army. So many things for me to worry right now but the positive sign is that i managed to see a lot of kids everyday at the moment seeing them makes me happy as i am fond of kids. Seeing them smiling,it seems to make me roll back to my childhood days when i have nothing to worry about.After u grow older u started to find life meaningless,harsh and cruel in a country like Singapore. Sometimes u observe the way Singaporeans behave in reality u will feel ashamed as a Singaporean why can't they be more caring to other people in this society ? Enough of talking back on your own countries, my aim would be making more friends in the next few days and reading more books as it enhanced your knowledge.

The things I did the past week!!!!!!!!!

2010-06-19T00:41:00.000-07:00

I miss their songs and the group so much !!

YOG YOG YOG has been all in my schedule in recent weeks, sometimes I started to get sick of it as I do the things over and over again. I think I spent a lot of free money on my transport the last two months as my unit didn’t really say we can claim the transport fee which was so f*** up pardon me for being so abusive. I am so glad when I managed to hear the news that A1 is back and their new album will be out in October but I am sad that Paul didn’t rejoin the group as it would be a wonderful reunion. I have been listening to all of their old songs recently I am upset that I lost their second album but I think it should be very difficult to find their old albums from records companies never mind technology is so advanced nowadays I know that I can listen their old songs from Youtube. The thing which I am worried about now hmm is my mum’s health as her womb recently dropped again and I hope she can take the option of taking an operation as soon as possible and thank goodness that I managed to go home almost everyday due to my commitment with YOG. I talked to my superiors about it and I try to be as strong as possible to keep my tears from flowing down but I couldn’t. How I wish I could have a character as Rooney which is strong, right now I think I am struggling to find my old self maybe I am not going to be the same person anymore or I needed a miracle to appear in my life at the moment. Probably having United right now will be perfect remedy as they are the only thing that I enjoy in my life right now I supposed even a girl that I like won’t be the cure of my problem. Will the old Zax appear or will a New Zax take over? only time will tell.

2010-06-13T03:47:00.000-07:00

Healthy Drink

This week has been busy for me as I am involved in YOG event for the past whole week; I get to stay out almost everyday spending about 1 or 2 days in camp which was shiok. I caught two movies in a week one was nightmare on the elf street while the other was Karate kid which starred Jackie Chan and Will Smith’s son as I don’t know his real name. I prefer Nightmare On The Elf Street as it was a horror movie which I liked a lot, the movie did shocked me on the first attempt but after that I gradually got used to the storyline and enjoy it. I felt quite happy be involved in YOG as I can meet more people around the world but the transport fee has been quite taxing. While I listen to the old songs that belong to my decade my memories started to flash back to my old friends, schools and the time I spent in the army. I am an emotional guy when it comes to feelings and I thank God for all the good things I had in life. Around the world at the moment has been caught with World Cup fever I personally think this can improve the economy for every countries as it is a prestigious event. I will update u guys in a week or two times for the time now just don’t get sick because it is World Cup period there will be plenty of drama to look for.

Family Outing On June 6

2010-06-09T04:29:00.000-07:00

The Orange Juice was so nice

The chips i was having

The desert end my day !!!!!!!!

Yesterday was a happy family outing for me and my family members it started raining heavily in the morning; obviously my mood was not too good especially it was a Sunday and it happened to be my mum’s off day. Being involved in YOG give me another extra off day as I don’t need to book in on a Sunday night. I watched the King of Snooker from 9am to 12.30pm which feature Niki Chow and veteran Adam Cheng. Since I subscribe to Starhub I have been a keen viewer when it comes to Hong Kong Drama. Around 2pm I set off from home to Farrer Park Mrt to visit City Square Mall which was the first eco friendly shopping centre in Singapore, I was quite excited because that was the first time I am going to that shopping mall due to some other reasons I always cropped up the visit to that particular shopping mall. After reaching the destination I was hungry and eager to look for food. I went browsing around in food courts and other restaurants with my mum as we are fans of delicious food. In the end we went to Manhattan Fish Market as I was attracted by the menu. I ordered fish and chips initially just to try out whether it is nice a not while my mum had her reservations on it. I waited for around 15 minutes for the dish, when I had the first bite on the fish and chips my feelings was unbelievable “Oh Gosh It was delicious’’ the rice that came with the dish was quite impressive then I began to order some A La Carte. I chose garlic bread and order another set of fish and chips for my mum. We ate around for 30 minutes before settling the bill. The bill cost around $36 I decide to give a treat to my mum in the end as she always buys stuffs for me lol. We went window shopping for around 2 hours to see there were any stuffs for us to buy as it was the Great Singapore Sale. It was quite disappointing I didn’t buy any stuffs as because of the YOG stuff as I had almost made me cough up about $80 on transport, maybe I am going to use some of my pay next month to buy something which I need in the long term future.

Wayne Rooney The Magnificent Number 10

2010-06-09T04:13:00.000-07:00

Some of Wayne Rooney happiest moment at Old Trafford !!!!!!!!

Wayne Rooney the Magnificent Number 10

Introducation

       I would like to thank the people who read my recently published article which feature on Dimitar Berbatov. Right now I am scratching my head on another article. The last few weeks I have been thinking about whether I should write about my idol, Wayne Rooney. It is great to write about my favorite idol at Old Trafford as he means so much to me and the Old Trafford faithful. To be honest, I have doubts when he joined United as a young prodigy from Everton which cost United 27.5m definitely there will be adds-on in that particular deal. His temper was one of the reasons that I was worried as he had a reputation of hitting out on opponents when he feels there is an unfair treatment on his team. Enough of talking let hit the button and start rolling about Wazza.

    Let’s recap what a remarkable season Wayne Rooney has produced for Manchester United. After living in the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo for his majority of Manchester United career. For the first time in his life he was the main man in Manchester United, clearly demonstrating his importance to United. I did mention in my last article about Berbatov having to step another gear into his game but there were no worries on Wazza whether he could take his game to another level. Ribery and Benzema was touted to be major summer signing for United last summer as United was losing Ronaldo to Real Madrid eventually Ribery decides to stay at Bayern Munich while Benzema snubbed United in order to engineer a dream move to Madrid. In the end United managed to get Valencia, Oberton, Owen to boost the squad but there were hardly household names to replace the Portuguese. In the end Sir Alex was convinced that he had a replacement in the making which was Wayne Rooney and he was encouraged to get into the box more often and to be United’s main man as he aimed to build a team around him.
August 9 was a significant date for United as they prepared to kick off another Barclays Premier League Season by facing Chelsea in the Community Shield which was a traditional curtain raiser before the real battle starts. That was the first game since the era of Cristiano Ronaldo and plenty of attention was on United. Nani’s rocket gave United an early lead which must shook the Chelsea team but Chelsea stepped up their authority in the second half with Carvalho deservingly firing in the equalizer for the blues. Chelsea went 2-1 up in controversial circumstances when Ballack blocked Evra’s run, Chelsea took advantage as Lampard fired them in front. In the dying minutes of the match Wayne netted his first of the season as he took the game to sudden death. Chelsea won 4-1 on penalties with Lampard, Ballack, Drogba and Kalou all scoring while United had Giggs and Evra with tame effort which was easily dealt by Cech.

    Wayne began the season with a bang netting against Wigan, Arsenal and Tottenham and almost single-handily carrying United at times while they were struggling. The early signs were there for people to see Wayne is getting more influential in this United’s team. The strike against Spurs was one of the best goals I have ever seen Rooney scored for United with a fine solo run and finished in style as his shot went through Cudicini’s legs, I personally reckon that was United best performance of the season. On November 2009 Rooney netted a hat trick against Portsmouth since his marvelous debut against Fenerbahce in 2006.Two of his goals came from the spot kick from that day. He produced a one man show against Hull City one month later as he was involved in all of the goals scored. Firstly He headed home from a Fletcher’s cross before he carelessly losing possession into his own half and allowed Fagan to slip through before Rafael conceded a spot kick when he tried to prevent him to get a clean contact on the ball. Craig Fagan makes no mistake to drill home the equalizer. Rooney was distraught after that and tried to make amends for his mistake, he and Giggs combined to put United ahead when they break free with a swift counter-kick. Rooney’s cross forced Andy Dawson into an error by putting the ball into his own net or else Park will be waiting in the wings to put United ahead, he races clear and set Berbatov up for the third goal. After the game u could see the relief on Rooney’s face as he knew if Hull managed a draw on that day, he could get a hairdryer treatment from Sir Alex himself. It wasn’t long he made another headlines in the press as Hull were the unfortunate receiving end. He scored four goals in a match that was the first time in his United career that he managed this in Premier League. Once again he haunted Arsenal in a 3-1 victory in the Emirates Stadium by scoring his 100th premier goal coincidentally his first goal was against the Gunners too. His first goal in European came at the San Siro while United came from behind to claim a price 3-2 away victory against Milan that was Utd first win at Italian soil. He scored another header in the Carling Cup Final when United came behind yet again to retain the trophy. In the second leg of the Champion League against Milan he netted a brace to take his goal tally of the season to 30, 5 days later he netted another two against Fulham that was his last contribution in the league. On March 30 the unthinkable scenario happened in Munich when Rooney injured his ankle at the last minute of the match and there were fears that he could suffer serious ligament damage at such a crucial time in the season. In the end he was ruled out by 2 to 3 weeks that was the period that United struggled badly in the League and Europe. Chelsea took advantage by beating United on 3 April in a match which Rooney missed while Bayern Munich knocked United out of the Champions League on the away goal rule. On April 25 he received the PFA Players of the year award after an outstanding season with United, he returned against Man City and inspired United to winning ways after a late Scholes’ header. He missed the Spurs game with a slight injury but played in the last two of the games against Sunderland and Stoke City. What an outstanding player he has been for last season who could argue that if he was fit till the end of the season United might have claim a four title in a row and that why I named this article as Wayne Rooney The Magnificent Number 10.

Personal Views
I think Rooney has been brilliant this season for club and country as he netted 33 goals for United this season but unfortunately United didn’t manage to win the title or else another record would have been set. The goals he scored against various teams helped United to win countless of matches this season while to lose him towards at the end of the season was a blow and it clearly show his importance on this United as they rely on him for much of the season. Without a doubt United will make drastic changes to this squad by bring one or two quality players to help him next season and bring the trophy to the place it belongs. Thanks for reading pals and I hope u guys really enjoy it as I spent three weeks writing on it.

YOG till August !!!!!!!!!

2010-05-29T21:57:00.000-07:00

Sometimes i think the YOG event waste a lot of time and manpower.I have done YOG twice this week no doubt it is a great event to be involved in as u can see a lot of different people from various location especially watching the students just make me think about the secondary school days which was very happy.The negative of that event is that i am going to spend a lot of money on transport fee which is very expensive nowadays i supposed i am going to spend about $50 on mrt and buses this month ? To my horror in June,July and August i will be doing the same thing over and over again which is very boring.No doubt getting out of camp is great as long u finish the event early i think u can enjoy an early nights out so i presume this three months would pass very fast.Another thing to be mentioned without EPL on weekend really spell a boring period for die hard soccer fans but with the World Cup looming ahead there will be a fever among everyone during the one month.As June Approaches i think it is time for me to decide when i am going to do after NS.9 months is not a long duration nor a short one but it is a period for u to think what u are going to do next in your life.The England and Japan match was not an entire classic match that i watched for a long time but i think Japan at least deserved a draw while my beloved Maria crashed out of the French Open but that was her best performance since returning to her action u can see her aggression and her passion for the sport,right now maybe i will be watching more tennis as United aren't not in action for the next few months.

My Schedule for the next month !!!!!!!!!!!

2010-05-25T09:10:00.000-07:00

I don't really know how to start this blog entry today as i am feeling quite confused about what things i have write.I just completed my Operational Duty this week,next up for me would be YOG lol looks like my weekend is going to get burn again.I don't mind as i am helping out in schools rather to spend my time in camp which is quite boring.Recently i produced the article My Dimitar My Story i thanks for the comments by my pals as i really put in a lot of effort in that article.Sometimes i need time to write my United stuffs as i need to have the inspiration.Hmm i don't think got anymore to update as i am starting on my YOG duty on Thursday,Saturday and the following Monday see you guys and hope to write more about myself next time ?

My Dimitar My Story

2010-05-19T02:40:00.000-07:00

Frustrating Times for Berbatov during the end of the season.

Berbatov at his best !!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy times for Berbatov as he started the season on a positive note.

Introduction

The reason that i wrote this article is to change the perceptive of some United fans about Dimitar Berbatov.He is often associated with lazy,distracted and unmotivated.I hope this article will be a huge hit among United supporters,prompting them to support this Bulgarian.

Season 2009/2010 was a season which we saw the best and the bad of the talented Bulgarian International.He was highly regarded when he first joined Man United from Spurs from an astonishing fee of 30.75m and instantly became United's record signing.Fergie once described him as the new Eric Cantona when he unveiled him to the press.Much more was expected of him when Ronaldo and Tevez departed last summer.His first goal of the season came at DW Stadium when he scored Utd's second goal in a 5-0 rampaging win against Wigan.He produced a stellar performance against Wolfsburg in the Champion League and followed up with another goal against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium.Fergie's trust on the big man began to pay dividends as he scored with a scissor kick at Old Trafford against Sunderland as United needed a spark.Berbatov's goal stole the limelight of the game as not many players in the world attempted that courageous attempt on goal.In the end United had to rely on an Anton Ferdinand's own goal to spare their blushes after both teams played out an entertaining draw.

Few weeks later,he added another spectacular effort into his goal collection by scoring a delightful volley against Blackburn.He got injured in that match and was out for more than a month.He had to wait for nearly two months later before scoring in the league again against Hull City.He added another couple of goals against Wigan and Portsmouth respectively.He scored Utd's only goal in a 3-1 defeat against Everton,that goal took his goal tally to five in five premiership game in which he started.He netted a brace against Bolton and that was his last contribution in front of goal for the season.He was heavily criticized recently as he was the man who was needed to step up when Rooney was injured.Recent speculation suggested he could be on his way out of Old Trafford after two years at United.

Reason for him to stay at United ?
He is technically gifted,when he is on form he could be the best player in the world easily.Who could forget his sublime skill against West Ham a couple of years ago and the goals he scored against Blackburn and Sunderland this season.Those goals have showed how gifted he was ? I doubt no other players in the planet could struck a scissors kick and a sumptuous volley in a space of a month.That is why i have written about him and named the title of my story as My Dimitar My Story hope u guys enjoy after reading it.

My updates for the past 2 weeks !!!!!!!!!!!

2010-05-15T21:54:00.000-07:00

For the past few weeks i haven't really update my blog with articles on myself or soccer maybe i was just too lazy to write or i don't have the inspiration of writing in these two weeks.Right now i am assigned to a place to do a operational duty for two weeks which cannot be revealed but sometimes i thought NS is really stupid why they are so afraid that people would reveal secrets of their own country ? Into my 15 months of service soon i will starting counting down to freedom after August.This week has been easy as i work for 2 days and get to rest for the following 2 days which is an incentive.My memories of 2009/2010 season for United was good i thought they coped very well after the loss of Ronaldo and Tevez in the summer by finishing second in the table but to every die hard fan losing the title this year is always a blow but i hope they could recharge their batteries for next season to regain the championship.The pictures which i put in front of the article is some of many favourite moments of the season unfortunately i couldn't put all of it.Currently i am thinking how to write some articles on some players which will be released in the coming months.Anyway i hope for the best as the World Cup is coming soon !!!!!!!!!!

It has been such a long time that i last wrote something about myself,I don't know what is wrong with me today that i had the urge to write today.Maybe i haven't written for a long time or maybe i just wish to update my own life.I managed to read about Scholesy life in an biography that shows how he worked so hard to be a top player and how he didn't give up his passion for the game,i find my life is involved in football everything i do i do for football.I could be a soccer player if i didn't stay in Singapore.I got an addiction on reading Wikipedia in recent weeks reading about soccer players,how Facebook was created,Tsunami and etc i don't want to list out i think people will find it boring.I managed to buy a new hand phone yesterday woooo finally i got back my camera hp too bad my last hp didn't last so long made me need to waste money to buy another one lol.The salesgirl that attended me was quite pretty and cute haha i was a bit blur how to use my new phone i think i am a blur cock lol.Lastly i hope Liverpool can do United a favour and United can reclaim the title back that would be a great present to any United fans.

Manchester Derby Man City 0-1 Man United (Scholes 92)

2010-04-17T20:02:00.001-07:00

Manchester United claim a significant victory against their local neighbours with a late 1-0 win thanks to Paul Scholes' late header in injury time.What an perfect way to celebrate an contract extension by helping United to have their bragging rights against their neighbours.This result bring United within touching distance as Chelsea slipped up at White Hart Lane to set up a grand finale in this exhilarating Premier League season.United was boosted by the return of star striker Wayne Rooney in the lineup after he successfully recover from his ankle injury.Darren Fletcher had the first chance of the match when he cracked an effort inches away from Shay Given's post that would be a perfect start to United if they had scored early in the game.Tevez's free kick then drew Van Dar Sar into a full length save.A slip from Kompany allow Rooney to slip in to Man City six yard box and Kolo Toure came to City rescue when he blocked two attempted pull-backs from the striker.United had two excellent chances before half time to score the crucial goal but they spurred the opportunities to score.Valencia was at the heart of those two clear chances when he raced clear away from Wayne Bridge after showing his bravery to head the ball before delivering a perfect pass to Rooney which in turn scuffed his shot wide.U can sense the agony from the United supporters because they cannot wish for a better chance to score.Then it was Giggs's turn to waste another chance to score after Valencia low's cross found him clear but his shot went straight to Shay Given and that was the last chance for United to score before the half time whistle blew.

City started the second half brightly after being outplayed by United in the first half their best chance came when a swift counter attack caught United's defence off guard but Bellamy wasted the chance as he elects to shoot instead of squaring to Tevez that would have been one nil to City as Tevez was clearly unmarked in the penalty box.Both teams sent reinforcements on in the final 20 minutes of the game and Giggs sent a teasing ball into the box which Nani try to convert but he didn't get a clean contact with the ball as he was under-pressure by Veira.Barry who was anonymous in the midfield in the game could have put City one nil up when he races clear into the box as he opt to cut inside and tumble under Neville's attention rather than to pull the trigger.He slipped and no penalty was given after his half heart appeal, then Giggs' attempted lob was easily snuffed out by Shay Given.United decide to send Berbatov on for Rooney who was looking short of fitness and Oberton replaces Valencia to send more attacking power to find a winner.Nani's cross found Berbatov and his first contribution of the game which was a glancing header which went inches wide of the post.At the other end Vidic produced two excellent blocks in quick succession to keep City at bay first flicking a cross away from Onuoha before clearing away from danger after a goal mouth scramble.United still had something in their sleeves when the match reaches the climate when Evra's cross found Scholes which in turn execute a perfect header which beat Given as his effort nestled into the net to sent the away fans celebrating wildly throughout the night.This was the third time that United deliver a fatal blow to City's in injury time as Owen and Rooney had netted previously in injury time in the League and Carling Cup but this result bring United closer to Chelsea if the champions are going down,they are not going down without a fight.

2010-04-11T00:25:00.000-07:00

This week has been fun,tired and bored in camp as my friends had departed for Taiwan for the next three weeks.The bad news would be i have just completed my first guard duty which was so tiring lol.I am starting to hate those att c and stay out personnel as i had a bad feeling that i had to do at least 3 to 4 duties a week.Overall i feel quite relieved i nearly lost the store key on a Thursday night luckily the DO managed to retrieve it haha.Otherwise soccer wise i think i am too busy in this week to watch soccer maybe saving my cab fare i had to miss United early kick off against Blackburn.Update will be resume next week.

2010-04-03T23:15:00.000-07:00

Things has been great this week as i reached another landmark in my life.I turned 22 this year haiz how time flies and this is my last birthday that i would spend in the army.I went out on Friday to my Grandmother house for a celebration hehee my cousin bought a lovely cake for me and the cake was so delicious that i crave out for more haha.I got $110 dollars for my birthday i wanted to save the money at first but right now my handphone is spoil again i think i would need to spent a lump sum of money next week.I had a funny habit that is not taking a lot of pictures when i go out or celebrate my birthday lol.The next three weeks i will be very free in camp because all my mates are heading to Taiwan for a three week exercise wahaha i will be sleeping,watching tv and surfing net on weekdays and go out on weekends before booking in on Sunday.My birthday wish is to hope that me and my parents are going to stay healthy forever as well as to pray for my aunt's recovery but the only disappointment which i had is watching United lost to Chelsea yesterday night in a must win clash.Throughout the years i think i gradually learn how to cope with defeats but i still believe they would win the title this year.I got over 60 birthday blessings from friends and facebook i am so delighted with that as this was the first time i got so many people wishing me happy birthday.

Bolton 0-4 Man United (Samuel OG 37) Berbatov (68,77) Gibson ( 81)

2010-03-27T20:48:00.000-07:00

Gibson rounded things up for United.

Berbatov at his best !!!!!!

It Started with an OG for Bolton.

Manchester United swept past Bolton and reclaim the top spot in the English Premier League with a resounding victory.United scored four goals in the process clearly sending out a warning to their major title rivals.The match started a frantic pace with both teams looking to establish their authority in the match.United got their first real chance in the match when Fletcher's cross which was instantly controlled by Berbatov but his effort was well-saved by Jaaskelainen.From the resulting corner Evans wasted a great opportunity to put United ahead when his shot flew over the bar and Bolton breathed a sigh of relief.Jack Wilshere on loan from Arsenal causing all sorts of problem for the United throughout the first half and send Elmander through the left hand channel before forcing Van Der Sar to make a save at his near post with a powerful shot.Then,Giggs had a chance to score a goal after he tee himself with an excellent first touch but his shot was wide of the target.The goal came 8 minutes before half time when Berbatov won a header,Nani hooked the ball forward and Giggs delivered an inviting goal across the Bolton goal but unfortunately it was Jlyod Samuel who executed a great finish into his own net to send Man United 1-0 as Fletcher and Valencia was sniffing around the Bolton area but there is no excuses for Ex Villa defender as it was a howler of the highest order.Muamba then try to pull Bolton back into the game instantly after that goal when his shot drew out a top class save from Van Der Sar that surely would sent the Reebook crowd wild.That was the last bit of action in the first half while United held a slender lead going into the Second Half.

United started the second half brightly and should double their lead after some neat play from Scholes which Berbatov setting Fletcher after a great one two but the Scott's s shot went inches wide.Owen's Coyle will be disappointed with the second goal that his side conceded as Giggs feeds Fletcher into the six yard and he unleashes a shot which should been a routine save from Jaaskelainen but he pushes away the shot right into Berbatov's path and the Bulgarian made no mistake to put United two up at the crucial moment of the match.Two become three shortly after Nani's teasing footwork had Ricketts rooted at his own area as he put a nice ball which Berbatov stabbed home easily to take his season tally to 12 and it was his second of the night.The rout was completed as United got their fourth when a carbon copy of Nani's trickery fooled Ricketts once again before Gibson's trademark shot rattled into the net despite Jasskelainen's getting a hand to it.It was a great response to Chelsea's 7-1 thumping of Villa earlier in the day and sent United back on top of table as they prepared a crucial week in their season.

March 24 to March 26

2010-03-26T19:18:00.000-07:00

This week has been quite boring for me as i came home on early Wednesday morning.Once in a while it is great to have a long rest but too much rest will make you feel bored at home.It is time for me to get some new games to just entertain myself before preparing a much busier week ahead.I am getting excited because next week is my birthday lol but funny enough i have no birthday presents all i could wish for is United being crowded as Champions yet again and be champion it takes a lot of courage and effort.I went to the library on Thursday to reactivate my library card and got to borrow a brand new biography which feature Paul Scholes.Right now i am still reading it i assume it would take me another one or two day to finish reading it as i always love to read about people's life and how they made themselves successful.Finally i rounded the trip by buying Paranormal Activity Vcd which i was impressed with the director using such a small budget and managed to earn millions back,that was pretty impressive business tatics.Update u guys next week as it would be another long weekend before my friends head to Taiwan.

March 20 and March 21

2010-03-21T22:57:00.000-07:00

It is time for me to update myself before i go back to camp tonight.I spend my Saturday quite easily by staying at home watching Dvd of Manchester United 2007-2008 season and it was sweet memories as Ronaldo dominated the Premier Ship and Europe and sometimes i wonder why do times past so fast ? Sunday i went out straight away after i got up from bed haha which was quite uncomfortable.I went to NUH to see my sick auntie and she doesn't look good at all struggling to breath normally and using medicine to control her illness.It look like a miracle would be the only cure to save her.In this world i don't think miracle don't happen too often so i wish her all the best to recovery.I spent the whole day travelling across the town area and spending the watch eagerly waiting for United to face Liverpool lol.In the end my beloved United won to my relief haha but i get to enjoy another great game before i sleep,Chelsea drew with Blackburn it was a great weekend for me this week and next week will be even better because i would going back home on Tuesday lol.

Man United 2 (Rooney 11) Park (59) Liverpool 1 (Torres 5)

2010-03-21T20:02:00.000-07:00

Park had the final say in this match while Fergie celebrates !!!!!!!!!

Rooney with the equalizer and a trademark celebration !!!!!

Liverpool Players celebrating wildly.

Torres fired Liverpool in front after 5 minutes.

Man United return to the summit of Premier League table after a well-deserved victory over a below-par Liverpool side.This is a significant result as it put United in a fantastic position to win their 19th title and overtake Liverpool to become the most successful side in British Football.Liverpool started brightly in the opening exchanges of the match and got their reward when Dirk Kuyt's cross found Torres in an unmarked position and he fired home with a magnificent header to sent Old Trafford shell-shocked not again is Liverpool heading a 4th victory in a row against United ? United defenders would be disappointed after replay clearly showed that Torres was outnumbered by the United defenders but none was close enough to make a last ditch attempt to stop him from scoring.United's equalizer came shortly after a lung-bursting run from Valencia forced Mascherno to send Ecuadorian down after he was adjusted to tug him down in the box.Rooney's spot kick was easily parried away by Reina but Lady Luck favoured United as the rebound fell straight back to him and he couldn't resist the temptation on his second attempt as he put United back on level terms and sent the home crowd wild.United gain momentum after the equalizer as Valencia skipped past Insua beautifully and delivered a wonderful ball for Park but the Korean wasted the opportunity as his header went wide of the target.Nani provided a delicious ball for Rooney on 27 mins but he couldn't get a connection with the cross,seconds later Nani had an effort which was saved by Reina.As the first half went on both teams were struggling in terms of creating clear-cut chances but just before half time United was awarded a free kick just outside the area but Rooney's effort from 25 yards was dealt comfortably by Reina.

The second half started with plenty of posturing but little end product.Park had the only real chance in the opening 10 minutes when he dribbled past a stubborn Liverpool defence before executing a tame left-footed shot.The moment of the match came at the hour-mark when Darren Fletcher swing in a great cross into the area after Neville's decoy run took two Liverpool players along with him and Park showed his bravery as he connected a diving header that nestled into the net to send Old Trafford into raptures.Benitez decide to sent reinforcements by getting Aqualini and Babel to replace the ineffective duo of Kuyt and Maxi Rodriguez.United was barely threatened as Fletcher was controlling and dominating the midfield while Rooney look dangerous up front.Giggs came on 73 mins to replace Nani while Scholes replaced the excellent Park four minutes from time and was given a standing ovation by the home crowd.Torres fluttered his shot from 12 yards out late on but Benayoun headed the loose ball straight into the arms of Van Der Sar which was a great relief for United fans behind the goal.Five minutes of added time was awarded but Liverpool didn't make full use of the time as they didn't create any clear-cut chances to put themselves into the game.Howard Webb's whistle went off in the 95th min and Old Trafford was roaring with delight after a hard won victory against their fiercest rivals and gave United fans the bragging rights for the first time in four meetings and it was United first win against Liverpool since 2008.

March 17 to March 19

2010-03-19T23:07:00.000-07:00

These two days has been cold as it was raining heavily in Singapore.I am blessed because i managed to spent these few days at home up till Monday woooo no need go back camp the best la can enjoy until i siao.I went out the whole day on Thursday by going AMK Hub haha unfortunately i didn't take any pictures.I spent time browsing on clothes and stuffs but i didn't buy any things on that trip haha.From this month start i decided to start saving as much as possible with my NS pay because it is a great feeling to see your bank balance increasing so i am dividing my expenses on a weekly basis.I think i will spend at least $30 on games per month and $50 on clothes while the remaining goes to food and transport fees which are costly in Singapore.I catch the latest Jack Neo's movie Being Human,for me it is worth the money to watch it because it mixes comedy and realistic content in life.April is a big month for me because it is my birthday again aiyah i am going older and older each year loh ! how i wish i can be a baby forever lol.Update u guys before i go back camp on Monday.

March 21 Manchester United Vs Liverpool 21.45 Local Time

2010-03-19T19:19:00.000-07:00

The biggest fixture in the English Calender look set to take centre stage when Manchester United host Liverpool at Old Trafford.Liverpool have won the last 3 fixtures away and home scoring 8 goals and just conceding 2.Revenge would be on every Man United's players mind as they suffer a total humiliation when Liverpool trashed them at Old Trafford a year ago.The rivalry between the both teams is hugely documented in the past with some players commenting their hatred for both teams.In the past Rooney described how he grew up hating Liverpool while Gerrard show off a collection of shirts he swapped with other teams when he took a film crew on tour of his home but he never had a Manchester United because he would have one in his house.Liverpool had dominated in the 80s winning title after titles while United struggled very badly in that decade.

The only trophy that eluded Liverpool right now is the Barclays Premier League title they haven't win the league since 1990 and it looks likely this season they are challenging for the fourth spot again.United began an successful era in the 90s by winning 11 titles in 18 seasons since the modern Premier League began that is astonishing statics compared to Liverpool who haven't won any.Both teams were the considered the top two British side as both teams combined to win 53 trophies which clearly separated the rest.Concentrating on Sunday United had started to play their best football since C.Ronaldo left while the return of Rio and Vidic has stabilized the defence.Rooney and Torres will be the key man for both teams as both players are one of the top strikers in the world right now.United suffered a 2-0 defeat against Liverpool in Oct with Vidic being sent off and he hoped he will not be send off for the third time in a a row.Prediction United 2-1 i still fancy United to be too strong on their home turf and give their fans something to cheer about on a Monday morning.

March 8 to March 14

2010-03-14T05:57:00.000-07:00

Hmm this update i won't mention my work at camp this week maybe i am getting lazier to update my blog nowadays.This week i witness the return of former favourite red David Beckham who returned back to Old Trafford after a successful career with the reds and he nearly did score upon his return to OT.He was applauded whenever he deliver a great ball into the box and received a huge reception from the crowd while some even hang a banner that say Welcome Back Home Beckham which nearly sent Becks to tears.After trashing Milan 4-0 a lot of teams would see United as a major threat in the UCL but unfortunately for another former red C.Ronaldo his Real Madrid was sent out for the sixth time in a row after Lyon claim a heroic draw.This example shows that whenever United let a player go they can replace them with another.Right now i am thinking hard how to use my pay effectively as i want to save as much money as possible but the temptation of games,clothes and dvd make my heart itchy lol.My weekly soccer article will be cut down to once in a few times as i hope i can recapture the passion of writing.

Feb 28 to March 6

2010-03-07T06:20:00.000-08:00

This week has been long as i got to book out on a Saturday morning.The activities that i had this week is quite tiring as we have field camp and range from monday to friday can u imagine how much work i done the whole week.I am glad that i am going back to Selarang Camp tomorrow as it is nearer to my house and the journey to there by cab is about 20 minutes while the bus journey took about 1 hour heeeeee !!!!!! I am slowly getting back to my old character right now,but i still want to get away from the place if i have the opportunity.Yesterday i spent the day at home playing some games and watching dvd to enjoy the relaxing moment at home.I bought two more dvds today which i hope that i could watch finish by today haha.The Auntie Lucky movie is make me laugh a lot because it was so amusing.I am looking forward to this week as i had two appointment hurray ~ that means i can book out on Tuesday and Thursday wooooooo.Unfortunately i am booking out on a saturday this week as we have a special parade on Marina Platform.

Wolves 0-1 Manchester United (Scholes 72)

2010-03-07T00:16:00.000-08:00

United relief as Scholes netted his 100th goal in Premier League.

United had to thank Paul Scholes as he sent United back to the top of the EPL table with an unimpressive 1-0 win against Wolves.Robbed by the absence of Wayne Rooney United look out of sorts and clearly missing his influence on the pitch.It took seven minutes for United to register a shot on target as Valencia fired a powerful effort just wide of the near post.United had a decent shout for a penalty when Darren Gibson was held back by Karl Henry in the box but Peter Walton see nothing with the challenge and waved played on.Wolves went close to taking the lead after some impressive play from Matt Jarvis when he found former red David Jones just inside the box.He aimed at Van Der Sar,but Carrick denied him from scoring as he made a last-ditch tackle to take the power out of the shot ensuring that Van Der Sar had an easy save.Four minutes United breathed a sigh of relief when unmarked Stepen Ward rose to meet Jarvis's cross but he headed straight at Van Der Sar when he had the entire goal post for him to aim for.In the end Van der Sar had an easy save and Wolves were made to regret after missing two glorious opportunities to take the lead against the reigning champions

United were forced to make a change as Gary Neville replaced Wes Brown at the break.Immediately after the change United found themselves an opportunity to take the lead as Berbatov turned and played an inch pass to release Valencia who in turn return the favour to the Bulgarian as his shot was well blocked.United best chance came at 52th when Gibson's pass found Evra in an advance area as he burst clear into the box, but Foley arrived in time to nick the ball away for a corner.The goal finally came at the 72th min when Valencia found Nani who deliver a very poor cross which was half clear by Craddock but the wily old master Scholes took control of the whole situation by taking just one touch before passing the ball into the back of the net.Scholes celebrated after that as it was his 100th goal in the Premier League and it shows that he is still producing the goods at the highest level.Diouf should have put the game to bed when Gary Neville deliver a fantastic ball into the area despite being unmarked he couldn't guide his header into the back of the net as hie effort went wide.In the dying minutes of the match Wolves poured forward in numbers as they search for an equalizer and they were hugely unlucky not to get a point.Sam Vokes was the culprit as he spurned a chance to put Wolves level as he failed to hit the target under no real pressure as United fans breathed a huge of relief.

Feb 23 To Feb 27

2010-02-27T19:24:00.000-08:00

This week started by returning to 3 sir my old unit but i went out for appointment for two days in a row.One to a counsellor another to a psychologist to undergo my treatment of Adjustment disorder.I don't know why i had a weird feeling whenever i get to a new place and i can't understand why i fail to overcome it for so long.I am battling so hard to overcome this demon for over a long time but i thought i finally killed the demon in Tekong when i book in happily every weekend but it wasn't to be.Right now i sometimes don't know what to do what to say even United winning games can't cheer me up nowadays.I bought Inside United February which feature Cantona on its cover and completed reading in 2 days and now i am selling it to another guy to recoup my losses.Yesterday i enjoy Man City beating Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge which means United still trail them by 1 point in the title race.Maybe a few weeks time then i would change to my normal self.

Feb 28 Manchester United Vs Villa Carling Cup Final

2010-02-26T22:55:00.000-08:00

Will Rooney Lead United to their 1st trophy of the season ?

This year's Carling Cup Final promise to be absolutely an exciting one to look forward.Manchester United beat Wolves,Barnsley,Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City before reaching the final,they scored 9 goals and conceded 2 goals in the process.While their opponents faced less glamorous team before facing United in the final.Worth mentioning is that Villa took 4 points off United by beating them at Old Trafford and holding them to a draw at Villa Park.Martin O Neil has done a terrific job since taking over Villa and this is first chance to win some sliver ware for Villa while Sir Alex looks to add to an impressive haul of trophies in his cabinet.The star man in this United team would be none other than Wayne Rooney who chalked two more goals in an unbelievable season and i wonder will he match up to C.Ronaldo goal tally two season ago.Valencia is another who has impressed since his move from Wigan and he is the key provider as he can deliver some killer balls into the six yard box.Prediction Man United 2-1 Villa i still fancy United to sneak goals and retain the Carling Cup.

Feb 16 to Feb 21

2010-02-21T02:45:00.000-08:00

Hello it is time again for me to update about myself to u guys lol.This week is quite sad for me as i completed my BMT recourse at Gryphon company.The 7 weeks i had at Tekong was enjoyable and memorable because i had successfully adjusted to that place.During the Poc ceremony i felt sad because it is time for me to leave my friends to go back to my old unit and i can sense hell coming out from that.My feelings right now is how i wish i was posted to Tekong and i no need to go back 3 sir.Enough about the negative stuffs i had plenty of time to enjoy as i reached home at 11am on Friday.I went out on Saturday with my soccer kaki and managed to grab another Manchester United poster which caught my heart haha i love football a lot and i dont know why.I was disappointed that United lost to Everton yesterday because the peformance was poor and i was shocked that Everton tear the United defence into pieces.The two dvds i bought was to scared Jessie who is afraid of horror movies lol i hope she will get bad nightmares after this lol.Tomorrow i will be going to Pasar Leba for the next two weeks the best i could do is to suck thumb.

Everton Vs Man United Feb 20 Saturday 8.55PM

2010-02-19T05:37:00.000-08:00

Wazza Enjoying his football at the moment.

United will face Everton at Goodison Park knowing that a victory can sent back to the top of the league for at least two hours before Wolves face Chelsea.United players must be on a high after they beat AC Milan at San Siro for the first time and having three away goals would be a bonus to boost their chances of getting into the quarter final of the Champions League this season.Chelsea has suffered a defeat at Goodsion Park a fortnight ago so United know that they need to play their best football if they are able to snatch a win against the Toffees.One player that David Moyes would be afraid of it is none other than Wayne Rooney.He is having the best form of his United career as he netted his 24th and 25th goal of the season by scoring a brace at San Siro.Rio and Nani is suspensed for United so Valencia and Park will start as Giggs is ruled out with an arm injury.Everton had a number of injures with Cahill,Senderos and Anichebe rated as doubtful while Fellani is ruled out for the rest of the season.I fancy United to win tomorrow night by the scoreline of 2-1.

Roger back to his best !!!!!!!!!

2010-02-16T02:30:00.000-08:00

Roger Rocks.

This is my third post in a day i don't know why i have the urge to write so many posts today.Maybe is because of the festive period i think i enjoy my new year very much i get to mingle around with my relatives i hope i do get more chances to talk to them next time.Back to my post topic Roger Federer it seems like he is finally back to his best in 2010 i recalled during last year i wrote a similar post about him mentioning i miss the old Roger Federer.He didn't disappointed me he work hard,double up his effort and corrected his mistakes in his game and enjoy a hugely successful 2009 by appearing in every Grand Slam final.He started off 2010 in great fashion by winning the Aussie Open last month a title which he hasn't won in three years i wish him all the best in 2010 as he is my role model in life i hope i can get stronger in 2010 and cope with my military life.See you guys on Friday as i going to POC loh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ac Milan Vs Manchester United Feb 16 2010

2010-02-15T23:45:00.000-08:00

What a emotional day for David Beckham !!!!

Ac Milan Vs Manchester United must be a mouth-watering clash among the world but certainly David Beckham will not be the happiest man in the planet after the draw went out.He is a local Manchester lad who shouldn't have never been away from Old Trafford.The man himself confessed how he misses life as a United player and hope he will retire at United and promised never and ever to play for an English Club because of his huge affection with United.Both teams had their own injuries problem but all the headlines across the global has dominated with Beckham not much football has been talk about but this is one of the match that will be remembered in the UCL.United had a woeful record against the Rossoneri as they knocked United out twice in the last 5 years.This United side has matured since the last couple of years so i wouldn't rule out United will surrender so easily at the San Siro.The likes of Ronaldinho,Pato,Pirlo,Gattuso,Rooney,Valencia,Evra etc will cross swords against each other and i fancy Milan to come on top on this game.My Prediction Ac Milan 2-1 Man United.Lets hope for a great game and i will never forget David Beckham contribution to United because he is the first United player i love and without him i think i wouldn't have know Manchester United as a football club.

Festive Season Mood

2010-02-15T17:56:00.000-08:00

The last two dayshas been tiring as it was Chinese New Year and it resembles that a new animal has taken over the industrious cow family.This year it would be ferocious tiger in charge throughout the year.I went to my Grandma house for the last two days to collect hong baos as well as to gamble lol but sadly i lost around $30 it is ok once in a while to gamble lol.I am reaching my own milestone in saving soon as i hope to save 5k as soon as possible because money is never enough in a country like Singapore.I am looking forward to this week because this is the week that i officially posted out from Tekong i am going to cherish the last two days with my bunk mates.

With the lucrative Champions League knock out stages coming back in mid February the three teams will have a hectic schedule till the end of the season.Looking at the next 5 games for Chelsea they will be away to Wolves,Portsmouth and Blackburn and hosting Man City and West Ham at home.I would say Man City will be the sternest test in these five games because Man City do have a few quality players that can trouble the Chelsea backline.I would say Chelsea would take at least 13 points from these 5 games provided they do not suffered key injures to their side.

For Manchester United they have Everton and Wolves away while West Ham,Fulham and Liverpool set to visit Old Trafford in the coming weeks.On paper United has the toughest fixture list but writing United off would be a dangerous bet as time and time again they prove to emerge victoriously.I would say United would take at least 13 points from these five games to give Chelsea a headache before they come to Old Trafford in April knowing that a defeat would present United an opportunity to win their 4th title in 4 consecutive seasons.

Last but not least we look at Arsenal fixtures.They had Sunderland Burnley and West Ham at home while they had Stoke City and Hull City away.For me Arsenal had the easiest fixtures among Chelsea and United as they do not need to face any top four teams anymore in the title run-in.Stoke City will be Arsenal bogey team so i would say Arsenal would take at least 12 points out of 15 in these 5 games.Lets conclude the situation after the next 5 games which i predicted Chelsea would have 70,United 69 and Arsenal 64 so i think after the end of March i would ruled Arsenal out of the race and either Chelsea or United will be the Barclays Premier Champion this season.

First of all i would like to say Happy Chinese New year to everyone who reads my blog lol.I have a few things to think right now in my mind.My recourse is going to end at 19 Feb after that i have to go back to my old unit which i do not wish for.First thought at my recourse i was struggling to cope with it at the beginning,after a weeks i began to enjoy the course because of the treatment i had from the Sergeants and Warrant Officer.The bunk mates play a part too because they are much more mature and civilized than my camp mates at old unit how i wish 3 sir have more people that behave like this.I realized that money cannot buy you things like friendship,happiness,time and behaviour.The last weekend i bought a new soccer game which i enjoy playing haha i am mad about soccer and i dont know why.Maybe i was a soccer player in my previous life as time goes by u probably realized that being a children must be your happiest moment in life because u have absolutely no worries in life.I hope everyone can enjoy your new year and i hope to update myself as soon as possible.

Love United Hate the Glazers !!!!

Manchester United climb back to the top of Barclays Premier League after a resounding 5-0 win over Portsmouth.United displayed a gutsy performance that even the Busby Babes would be proud of.United control proceedings in the match but they have to be patient until the 12th min when Evans's header went just over the bar leaving James motionless.Pompey then started their own way of getting into the match when Danny Webber slip a pass to Van Den Borre,whose powerful shot was dealt with Van Der Sar.On the resulting corner Belhadji's forced the Dutch man into another smart save.United let their guard down while they attacked Pompey into large numbers and was nearly caught off guard when Pompey break away with 4 players out numbering the United defenders in the process,Belhadji's shot beated Van Der Sar but Evans made a great recovery in time to clear the ball off the line.Berbatov fired his shot wide in the six yard box from a Neville's cross u can see the frustration from the Old Trafford faithful.5 mins before the break United finally break the deadlock after Wayne Rooney headed in his 23th goal of the season from Fletcher's cross.One become two shortly after Nani teased Van Den Borre's and executed a low shot which deflected off the Belgium defender.

United began the second half with an intention of banging in more goals to pile on Pompey's misery.Carrick fired a shot which took an deflection of Richard Huges to give United their third goal in the match.Berbatov scored United's fourth goal when he collected the ball inside the vistor's box shrugging off challenges before unleashing an unstoppable shot past David James.United then introduced Diouf,Owen and Gibson to replace Fletcher,Rooney and Berbatov to give them a much needed rest.Gibson tested James with a rasping 30 yard effort which was dealt easily by the England International.A fifth arrived when Evra's teasing ball which was intended for Nani instead Wilson tried to clear it but in the process he put the ball into the back of the net.3 goals in 9 mins is a matter of time United find their rhythm to get more goals. United got the three goals they needed and boost their goal difference in the process and awaits the showdown between Chelsea and Arsenal on Sunday.

Fabregas and Rooney on top of their world.

Rooney and Fabregas will lead their respective teams out for a battle when Manchester United lock horns with Arsenal knowing that a win certainly boost their chances of winning the title especially Chelsea played Burnley 24 hours earlier.Arsenal draw against Villa in midweek while United beat their local neighbours 3-1 at Old Trafford and confidence must be on a high.Both teams have key players ruled out Vermaelen and Rio set to miss out as one is injured while the other was suspensed.Fabregas will be crucial as he links the whole Arsenal attack and Fletcher will be given a task to shackle and hassled him at every opportunity.Revenge would be on Fletcher's mind especially he was sent off at Emirates in last April.On the last visit to the Emirates United won 3-1 comfortably with Park and Ronaldo getting the goals.This around there will be no Ronaldo but Rooney will take the centre stage on Sunday.Rooney has scored his 21th goal on Wednesday and he looks likely to continue his hot streak against Arsenal.Regardless of the result on Sunday the football will be there for all the neutrals and fans across the world to enjoy as both teams play fantastic attacking football that take the breath out of you.Lastly Prediction Arsenal 1-1 Man United i go for a draw as both teams are unlikely to lose in such an important match.

Man United 4 (Rooney 8,82,86,90) Hull City 0

2010-01-23T18:09:00.000-08:00

Rooney playing his best football at the moment.

Manchester United went back to the top of the table after trashing Hull City 4-0 at Old Trafford.Scholes trademark effort forced Myhill into a great save but fortunately the rebound fell to Rooney who wasted no time to put United ahead.The fans were expecting more goals after Utd score early in the match but United were wasting their chances in front of the goal.Rooney had a half volley which was tipped over the bar by Myhill while Owen came close just before half time but his tame effort was easily held by Myhill.Utd's boss wouldn't be satisfied with his players as they could have scored a few more goals before half time.

Second half saw United lost their attacking rhythm but Nani was delivering dangerous crosses into the Hull City area for Rooney and Owen to score.United knew that a second goal would finish Hull City but Rooney long range effort came close to double the lead for Utd.Sir Alex sensing that 1-0 scoreline is never safe in the EPL he decide to beef up United's attacking options by bringing on Berbatov and Gibson to replace Owen and the excellent Scholes.Hull got their best chance when Ghilas nearly flicked the ball into the back of net from a Mcshane's cross.United caught Hull City on the break on the break by Gibson made a poor decision by trying a long range shot which flew over the bar which clearly frustrate Rooney who was in arches of space.United second goal came shortly after that when Nani's free kick was expertly dealt with Myhill before Gibson set Rooney up for his second goal of the match.Nani's inviting ball helped Rooney to score his third of the match.Rooney was not finished after that he scored his fourth after being put clear by Berbatov and he still managed to score after being outnumbered by the Hull defenders and he clearly show that he is the main man for United after Ronaldo departure.Fergie will be pleased by Rooney and Nani contribution as both of them were outstanding in the whole match while Rio return a great return from injury as he stables the fraglie Utd's defence .

My Favourite are playing in the Aussie Open 2010 starting from tomorrow.

One year has passed since i last witness the Australia Open 2009 how time has gone by.This year i am not able to watch the magnificent tennis event that is going to be available because i am in the army.Obviously i am still feeling down because army has taken so much of my time i cannot watch the things i want.Be it like Manchester United,Roger Federer,Maria Sharapova and the Hong Kong Drams that i love to watch everyday i am gutted whenever i missed this series.I am going around cursing the SAF as they are wasting two important years of my life.I am glad that 2010 has arrived that means i have one year before i regain my f****** freedom.Luckily my life has been saved by United because especially in the army there are different groups of people i think i am fortunate to have United by my side because they really help me achieve my objective in life without them i am clueless where i want to go and where i want to be.2010 will be a year that i hope that i can save around 4k because after 2010 i may step into the society to work probably life would be much tougher after that.I think this is the very first time i wrote so much things about myself and i hope to pass this week quickly as next weekend i want to watch a movie with my mum as well as to buy new year clothes.Last but not least i hope United could regain the title this season and i truthfully thank God as they given me Manchester United as a gift which is so precious.

Man United 3 (Berbatov 64) Rooney (69) Diouf (90)

2010-01-16T18:37:00.000-08:00

Berbatov scored his 7th goal of the season.

Manchester United bounce back with a win against a spirited Burnley side to win their first match in 2010.Newspaper across UK all have been suggesting that United debts problems have worsen but in the end United produce just enough in their tank to record a win in the league.In the opening exchanges of the match Steven Fletcher had the best chance to put Burnley 1-0 up at Old Trafford but he scuffed his shot wide.United had to wait for the final few minutes before in the match to threaten Brian Jensen when Nani executed a overhead kick which was easily push out for a corner.Valencia was causing all sorts of problem at the right hand side but Rooney and Co didn't work hard enough to create goal-scoring opportunities.

Berbatov then produced a moment of magic after he brought the ball brilliantly under control but he couldn't put the ball into the back of the net after some terrific ball controlling.Nugent outpaced Neville after a great pass from Eaglesbut he fired his shot wide to the relief of the home fans.Burnely had themselves to blame after Berbatov and Rooney combined to put United ahead in the 64th min after the two show great understanding.Berbatov's shot was deflected off Duff's and found its way into the back of the net.United got their second in the next 5 mins after Berbatov's shot was palmed away by Jensen before Rooney drilled home a second.Steve Thompson had a header that hit the bar if that had gone in it will be an interesting finale to the match.In the remaining few minutes of the match Mears forced Van Der Sar into a magnificent save after his curling free kick looks to nestle into the net before Diouf headed in a third for United after a hopeful ball from Valencia.United ran out comfortably in the end but Burnley can be proud of themselves as they put a great display at Old Trafford.Final Score Man United 3-0 Burnely.

Jan 16 2010 Man United Vs Burnley

2010-01-15T06:38:00.000-08:00

Fletcher will be sorely missed in the United's Engine room.

After a series of Premier League games was abandoned last weekend it looks like we are hopeful of having a full schedule on tomorrow night.On different reasons United are dominating the headlines for the wrong reasons in the paper across UK highlighting that the Glazers are issuing bonds to raise money to reduce the debts that United are absorbing at the moment.After three successful season of winning trophies after trophies i assume there was full of cash or revenues for United to reduce the debts but it hasn't been the case.Enough of debating the financial issues we switch our attention to the domestic league.After the draw against Birmingham United will have to peform better to beat Burnley side who appointed a new manager in the week after Owen Coyle decided to head to Reebok Stadium.Rio and Hargreaves are making great progress from their respective injuries but this game may come too fast for both of them.The good news would be Van Der Sar should return in goal after his wife's condition improved.Rooney will be the main focal point in United's attack since Ronaldo departure and there is plenty of pressure for him to deliver.The likes of Owen,Carrick,Scholes and Giggs would be vital as they can play to their best United would probably win the game at ease.I still backed United to win 3-0 as they still have too much quality against a very poor Burnley side whose away form in the league has been disappointing.

Back To MainLand

2010-01-15T02:05:00.000-08:00

Finally i am back to Singapore main land after one and a half week in Tekong BMTC School 1.My feelings right now is great especially i step back home which is the most comfortable thing in life.For me now is to pass my recourse and head back to my parent unit because i got some great friends over there and i can't wait for the day before i POC.I think i have to make full use of my full 48 hours before i book in on Sunday night i intend to do as much things that i like.I could be buying some magazine and borrow some books from the library.The most thing is to watch United in action i missed them so much ~~~~~ and hope they can clear their debts as soon as possible.

My first post of the year

2010-01-04T06:59:00.000-08:00

My first post of the year it began with a beautiful Maria picture with it.Time has pass quickly but on Jan 13 to Jan 31 i would find time pass slowly especially my entire camp are going to Brunei.I will not be going but i have to stay in camp for 18 days.When i think of that i began to feel fearful i am going to miss my usual United stuffs,family and computers.Now i began to understand why people hate army but after that trip to Brunei i am hitting the one year mark so i think i must endure till the end.There will a few updates before i go missing in action in January.

Man United Vs Leeds Jan 3 2010

2010-01-01T07:28:00.001-08:00

The highlight of the Fa Cup 3rd Round on Sunday will be Manchester United vs Leeds United both of them haven't play each other since 6 years ago after Leeds United went down to the Cola Cola Championship.It was not long ago Leeds were one of the top clubs in English Football and had a tremendous rivarly against Utd.It has all changed in the last 6 years as United had enjoyed a great period by winning the Epl ,Champion League,Club World Championship and Carling Cup.Sir Alex may opt for a mixed and experienced side as he prepares to face Man City in the Carling Cup Semi Final on Wednesday but assure that Fergie will sent his possible strongest 11 to face Leeds.Prediction Man United 3-0 Leeds United.

Memories In 2009

2009-12-31T02:59:00.000-08:00

How time flies in 2009 it has been an unbelievable year for me as those few pictures above describe the activities i had in the past year.I would discuss Manchester United first as they themselves won the both last year bringing the Carling Cup and English Premier League title yet again.In the summer i was devastated as two of United's key players had departed.Ronaldo And Tevez had left to join Real Madrid and Man City respectively.I think that was a blow because Ronaldo was a such a wonderful player to watch and i had still difficulties to cope without him at the moment.Tevez was a fighter for United as he always seem to pop out at crucial moment in the match to save United but there is no point debating about the two of them because United will have to move on from there.

Another special moment in 2009 for me is the return of my favourite Maria Sharapova who was out almost a year with niggling shoulder injury and i am glad that she is finally back in action.She ended the year as number 14 which was a great achievement as she started the tour season in April and I hope she will have be a better 2010 season.Roger Federer too had a sensational 2010 capturing the French Open And Wimbledon Open surpassing Pete Sampras record of 14 Grand Slams and he himself completed a career Grand Slam which was magnificent.Not long ago he was pitted by Rafael Nadal it shows Federer had great courage to bounce back after the Aussie Open 2009 we saw a tearful Federer giving a speech at Melbourne Park and that was the first time i saw Federer in tears.

Last but not least 2009 represented another great chapter in my life as i was enlisted in the army.Initially i found it hard to cope in the first few months but luckily there was a few great buddies who encouraged me after that.After the first 3 months i started to meet some great guys who was posted from Tekong to 3 sir.I found it really unlucky for them because they were some great guys.I won't want to mention my buddies name because i know they themselves know who they are and i hope we can cherish this relationship till the end of our lives.

Hull 1 (Fagan 60) Manchester United Rooney (45) Dawson OG (73) Berbatov (82)

2009-12-27T20:05:00.000-08:00

Rooney inspire Utd to a crucial win at the Kc Stadium.

Manchester United had to worked hard to overcome a spirited Hull City side in an entertaining affair in the EPL.Valencia outpaced Andy Dawson at the opening exchange of the game but Giggs couldn't take advantage as his effort went over the bar then Giggs had a free kick that hit the side netting before Mendy make a last ditch block to prevent Rooney from scoring the first goal of the match.Hull themselves had a great chance to score the first goal as Olofinjana had an effort pushed away from Kuszczak.Hunt then had another great chance to put Hull in front after sent clear by Olofinjana but the former Reading man scuffed his shot wide.The best chance in the match fell to Rafael as he surged past the Hull defence before Carrick found him 1 on 1 with Myhill but the brazilian couldn't believe he hasn't scored as Myhill produced a fantastic save to keep the scoreline at 0-0.The goal came at injury time when Darren Fletcher fizzed a great cross in the six yard box as Giggs's attempted flick towards goal found Rooney who in turn make no mistake to fire United one up before half time.

The second half started just like the first half which both teams taking their turns to attack one another but it took a slack Rooney's back pass which gave Hull City a lifeline as Rafael was adjusted to foul Altidore in the box after Fagan try to set his team mate for the equalizer.Fagan make no mistake from the spot as he brought Hull back into the match.Rooney made up for his mistake after a swift counter attack from United which involved Giggs and Rooney.Giggs perfect pass found Rooney who in turn up who provided a teasing cross unfortunately Dawson had little options but to put the ball into his own net as Park would have scored if he let the cross slipped past him.United got the killer goal at the 82th min when Rooney set up Berbatov to score the easiest of goal and prevented Hull from getting back into the match.In the end United held on to an victory after a scrappy peformance.

Festive Season

Fergie having a headache at the moment.

Manchester United travel to the KC Stadium knowing that a win is vital for them to retain the title this season.Last week United was horrible plus terrible in their defeat against Fulham.Fergie will be hoping Vidic can recover from his calf injury while Rafael and Fabio could be given a start after they successfully recover from injury.Hull City themselves had struggle since Jimmy Bullard's injury after a mini-revival at November they find themselves back into the regulation froy.My Prediction Hull City 0-2 Man United lets hope United play better this time around to give their fans a better Christmas present.

Are United In Crisis ?

2009-12-21T19:42:00.000-08:00

How often do u see that ?

On Saturday night we witness a masterclass performance from Fulham after they trashed United 3-0 at Craven Cottage.The question is how bad did United perform on that day ? I hate to say that United were awful and ordinary in that match u didn't see Fulham's goalkeeper hardly made a top-class save to deny United.The trouble at the moment is they are missing key defenders in the team and we had to sacrifice our midfielders in an unfamiliar role.Fletcher and Carrick are great midfielders but without a doubt their defending is questionable.The casualties in defence are unbelievable with the likes of Vida,Rio,Brown.Neville.Rafael,Oshea and Evans all out with various injuries.In attack we looked lightweighted with only Rooney and Valencia trying their very best to create a goal for United.Regardless of this injury crisis the peformance is still questionable how often u see United got trashed and outclassed ? Although Chelsea themselves haven't capitalized on our defensive woes but if United keep playing like this the title could be heading to the other side of London.I hate to say this but i do hope the injuries problem are clearing up as soon as possible because United have to kick start a long winning run to regain their fear factor in the league.

Rooney to inspire United to another Victory ?

In-form Fulham side will set to welcome Manchester United to Craven Cottage in a match which United have to win and return to the summit of the Epl table for 24 hours at least.United have injures across the back with Gary Neville,Oshea,Evans,Rio,Van Der Sar,Nani,Rafael and Vidic doubtful with a calf strain.Fulham could exploit the weakness in the make shift back four.Fulham could be jaded after a mid week trip to Basel on the other hand United overcome a ordinary Wolves side.Prediction Fulham 1-2 Man United.

Midweek English Premier League Round Up Week 17

2009-12-17T02:13:00.000-08:00

Kranjcar scores a brace for Spurs.

Milner senting Villa back into the top 4.

Alexander denies Arsenal a victory.

Ngog and Torres combine to give Liverpool a much-needed win.

Lampard helping Chelsea to their first win in five games.

Vida cannot hide his delight after netting his first goal of the season.

It has been a hectic midweek in the BPL once again with the top teams trying to pull away from the chasing pack.Manchester United picked up a much needed win against an understrength Wolves side.Rooney got United going at the 30th min by drilling a penalty past Marcus Hahnemann.Vidic got his first goal of the season after latching onto a Darren Gibson's cross to sent United two up just before half time.Berbatov's magical skill set up Valencia to score his sixth of the season.Villa secure another impressive away win against Steve Bruce's Sunderland with Heskey and James Milner getting the goals.Villa has been playing brilliantly in the past few games and few could argue this team looks certainly to break into the top 4 if they carry their form into the latter part of the season.

On Wednesday night there was a list of matches that people were looking out for.Chelsea got their first win in five games after overcoming a stubborn Pompey team.Anelka got Chelsea first while Portsmouth got their equalizer when Piquionne volleyed past Petr Cech.Marc Wilson conceded a silly penalty to spoil his team mates heroic performance.Lampard step up and sent his penalty into the back of the net to give Chelsea a three lead at the BPL table.Liverpool got a boost after overcoming Wigan at Anfield with Torres and Ngog grabbing the goals while N'zogbia give the visitors a deserved consolation.Burnley held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor and last but not least Spurs trashed Man City 3-0 with Kranjcar and Defoe on the score sheet showing that Man City still need to convince people whether they able to break into the top four this season after spending so much money in the summer.

Am I Getting Old ?

2009-12-16T02:52:00.000-08:00

The past two weeks i have been feeling my back is in pain whenever i carry heavy stuffs.The pain come and go everyday but my vocation in the army always allow me to react with heavy items.Examples Jerry Can,Conwire and etc.These items are not really heavy but i have been carrying it for about 8 months to the extent my back are feeling the effects of that.Luckily for the next two weeks i have block leaves to clear before i head back to Tekong on Jan 5.I am looking forward to watch United on Saturday it has been a fortnight i last saw them.I am getting accustomed to Cabal online and hope i could reach level 40 in the next week or so.

BPL Round Up Week 16

2009-12-14T18:35:00.001-08:00

Louis Saha shocks the Chelsea's backline.

Villa celebrating an unlikely win against Man United.

Liverpool problems just can't seem to disappear.

It has been a dramatic weekend in the BPL with the top teams struggling to win against the lesser opposition and plenty of shocking results across the country.The first shock was Chelsea drawing with a terrible Everton side which was clearly struggling for numbers in this game.We witness how terrible was Chelsea defence and it looks like a headache to Carlo Ancelotti and he needs to find a solution quickly as Chelsea are not winning games at the moment as well not keeping clean sheet.Spurs was not spared as Wolves celebrate an unlikely win against the team who was deemed to break into the top 4 this season.Kevin Doyle got the only goal of the game and i doubt Spurs to break into the top 4 after losing to Wolves and Stoke City at home.

In the late kick off on Saturday evening Man United host Villa with a chance to close the gap on the leaders Chelsea.Gabriel Agbonlahor got the only goal in that match and United players were frustrated as they miss golden opportunities to score the equaliser.Villa defence was almost unbreakable and Brad Frediel was denying United again and again with some stunning saves.In the end Villa celebrated a rare win against Man United and proving that they could break into the top four this season after beating Liverpool at Anfield and a home win against Chelsea at Villa Park.

On Sunday Arsenal produced a come back to beat the poor Liverpool side to bring themselves back into the title race.Dirk Kuyt opened the scoring for Liverpool side just before just half time to send the Kop into raptures.A win against the Gunners could just be a positive spark to kick their season going.Shortly after the break Glen Johnsen scored an own goal and brought Arsenal back into the game.Andrei Arshavin was the hero at Anfield yet again as he fires an unstoppable shot against Pepe Reina.For Liverpool it was their second home defeat in a row and Rafa's side is struggling for form and confidence at the moment.Liverpool are in debts and they need to finish into the top 4 to balance the accounts and an early exit from the Champions League Group Stage is wiping out their finances pretty quickly.A top four finish is essential for Rafa if not he could be a headless chicken in the next few months.On the other hand Arsenal closed the gap on United and Chelsea and hoped they would be included in this year's title race.There will be midweek fixtures in this week and lets hope the big guns starts to win but i wish Chelsea would continue to drop points.

Time For A New Change ?

2009-12-09T02:10:00.000-08:00

The past few days i have been thinking hard after my recourse should i get a post out ? There are plenty of positive ways if i became 8 to 5 worker in the army.I can get to go home everyday which is important haha secondly i can always watch my favourite drama third is get to eat good food.The past few days have pass quite quickly maybe because i am not in camp.I enjoyed playing Cabal online and my regular football games.For the next two weeks i will be clearing my leaves so i should be able to watch United very often and hope i can spent some of my $$$ on United stuffs.Lastly i wish Jess can pass her exams with excellent grades.
