United 1 - 6 City : Theater of dreams turn to theater of nightmares

6-1.

Even City player cant believe that they beat United at their own ground by that margin.

Tetiba ramai pulak penyokong City sms & comment @ fb or tweet to me. And i thought they were Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal fan. But of course.... Sapa x nak amik peluang utk bash United fan when their team lost like that.

A lot has been said after the game ended. The shift of power from the red half of Manchester to the blue half. City is now the team to beat in the BPL. How United want to avenge their lost to Barca when their own noisy neighbour can double the score Barca beat them. And etc..

And this is my comment....
It was United worst ever performance even worst than lost to Southampton 6-3 or Newcastle 5-1 or even Chelsea with the same scoreline. Why? The defense played horrible. The midfield lost the ground and lets face it, Fergie got his game plan wrong.

To field Jonny Evans when Phil Jones has shown in recent game that he deserve the CB position is wrong. And Evans of course graduated from the United academy are proven inconsistence has finally put the nail to his own coffin. If i'm Fergie, i will limit his contribution to league cup games or reserves game as he is not worthy of the United jersey. Even Wes Brown is better than him.

United always was and always will under the mgmt of Fergie a slow starter in the league. United will start the ground running come december and hit top form in March onwards. But this year a bit different. Maybe due to the win in the Charity shield over City, United start very....very strong reminiscent of Chelsea last season. And now United are slowing down or in my word - hibernate. From the City game, you can see that half of the team were not performing. Nani, Anderson & Smalling mcm off form. Then the worst came from the senior member of the team - Ferdinand & Evra. Aku rasa Fadhli Shaas lagi bagus dari diorg if considering that performance as a guideline. Only Rooney, Fletcher & Young shown the determination to outplay City.

Welbeck & De Gea played ok. They can up their games but their team mates let them down.

Ape silap game plan Fergie? The formation is ok except for the inclusion of Evans rather than Jones. United did control the game in the 1st half. But all changes when Evans sent off. Fergie then change Nani & Anderson with Hernandez & Jones. With that changes, Smalling move to CB, Jones to right back. Fletcher played in the middle of a 3 midfield with Welbeck played in the left flank, Young change side to the right, Rooney become the attacking midfielder & Hernandez played alone up front.

By that time by right, Fergie should do damage limitation by fielding Park instead of Hernandez and change Welbeck with Berba or Hernandez. But knowing Fergie very well, he do not like being defeated by City, he field an attacking minded team rather than soaking the pressure and counter attack. And that is why 3 of the City goal came in the 70 - 90 min.

How about City performance. Lets just say that they capitalize on United bad performance. But I can praise a few of City player that shine during the game. They are Balotelli, Dzeko, Milner, Yaya Toure & of course David Silva. He is City biggest asset to become a challenger to United title as well as Champions league. Mancini is building the team around him. Just like Messi to Barcelona. And I have to admit, that is what lacking in United now.

Its like a nightmare watching United being defeated like that at OT. Nasib baik kalah dengan City with that scoreline. If kalah dgn Arsenal or Chelsea or worst Liverpool with that scoreline, it will be the worst nightmares I will ever have.

But its not the time to push the panic button yet. This is United first defeat of the season anyway. And we are only at the end of October. There are ample of time for the team and especially those who played bad in that game to buck up and show the world that they are way better than that. Fergie will know how to regroup and rise back from the defeat and try not to repeat what has happen to Chelsea last season.

Preview to the BPL 2011/2012 season: United 20th title

And finally.....

MANCHESTER UNITED

Losing to Barca in the UCL final last season has become United catalyst for this season. Fergie has add youth to the team will maintaining the same team that win the title last season.

Yes VD Sar has left. Scholesy pon dah retired. But both player has been replaced with a new & younger player in the form of De Gea and Cleverly. Sapa sangka that Cleverly, a product of United youth academy is the final jigsaw to the Scholesy puzzle. Semua sangka Sneidjer is the one who will fit to replace Scholesy place. Tapi due to unable to agree to Sneidjer wage demand, the deal collapses. Dua player ni not the only addition to the team, there are Ashley Young who can play anywhere on the front 4 position and maybe the steal of the season in the form of Phil Jones. England future defend marvel.

Knape aku predict United will win this season title and not other team? Or sebab aku sokong United, so mestilah aku nak United menang the title. Nop. Based on their fixtures as well as other team performance, this season are United title to lose. Lets look at United fixtures against the top 6 last season:

22nd Aug Spurs 5-0
28th Aug Arsenal 8-2
18th Sep Chelsea
15th Oct Liverpool (a)
23rd Oct City
21st Jan Arsenal (a)
31st Jan Chelsea (a)
11th Feb Liverpool
3rd Mar Spurs (a)
28th Apr CITY (a)*

the last 10 games

17th Mar Wolves (a)
24th Mar Fulham
31st Mar Blackburn (a)
7th Apr QPR
9th Apr Wigan (a)
14th Apr Villa
21st Apr Everton
5th May Swansea
13th May Sunderland

Earlier before the season start, aku ingat Aug, Oct & Jan will be a difficult month for United. Tapi selepas their superb start to the campaign not to mention the mauling of Arsenal 8-2, there will be Oct & Jan jer might become United toughest month. With playing against United main rival in a space of a week in Oct might effect United title surge. Mana taknye, lepas jumpa Liverpool away at Anfield then kena play against City who squad depth is every team envy.

Then in Jan, United need to play against Arsenal at Emirates and Stamford bridge plak. If United manage to get a point from this fixtures, it will suffice.

The last 10 games plak memang favouring United with only the possibility of title decider with City will be the only tough fixtures, United will win the title by end April.

If last season, United with a rebuild team pon manage to win the title. This season with a complete team and an eye for a revenge against Barca playing in each of United player mind, it will be United title to lose.

Barcelona 3 - 1 Manchester United : Barca is the best team in the world


Face it.... When we saw that United going to face Barca in the final.... All people are guessing how are United going to stop Barca. All of them forgetting that this United is not the best United team ever assembled. Yet we manage to be the champion of England. So it will definitely be hard for United to beat Barca.

Dlm preview aku, aku ckp United ble menang if they played as I mention. Tp United gagal main as per the game plan.

The line up in the preview was like this




But in the final... This was the 1st xi




Sorry for wrong name for United RB. It should be Fabio instead of Rafael.

There is a few surprise coming from the Barca first XI. Eric Abidal came in left back and Villa switch place with Pedro. With this changes, Guardiola are using the same formation in 08/09 final with Villa replacing Eto'o place and Pedro replace Henry's. United field their expected first XI.

The game start same like 08/09 final with United pressing Barca early & high up front. And again... United unable to maintain their plan and Barca gain from United personal error from Evra & VD Sar.

As Barca start to dominate the game, Fergie had to step in and warn his player that they are playing too deep in midfield & defence. United response immediately with Rooney score the equalizer. As the game continue, it is obvious that Barca has control the match and United.... Well United can only hope for some miracle to happen.

As I mention, 2nd & 3rd goal came from individual error from VD Sar & Carrick. 2nd goal was purely VD Sar fault & the latter was due to Carrick unable to clear the ball quickly thus leaving space in his defensive midfielder position for Villa to swerve a beautiful curler to kill the game.

With Giggs trade place with Park, it leave Alves plenty of place to attack United left field. So the best team won the match. Kudos to Barca as well for not play acting in their dives or tackle reactions. It also worth taking note that United manage to finish the game with 11 player not like other adversary.

So how exactly to stop Barca?

Other than what I mention in my preview, United need to have somebody up front like Benzema or if Rooney to play as the lone striker... Then United need to have Ashley Young or Sneidjer. And another position need to take care off is defensive midfielder. If that is the case.... Then Rodwell will fit in prefectly.

So when Barca is the best team in the world... Which team can beat Barca?

1. Real Madrid - With Mourinho at the helm... Like at Inter... His 2nd season will be the time when finally Real will win title.

2. Manchester United.

3. Others.

BPL Season 2010/2011 in review




Yes... Its finally over. Yg best pasal season ni is MU win the title! Plus recording a new record of 19th title eclipsing the historian Liverpool record.

Tp sebelum tu, lets go back to my preview before the season start....

I wrote that if a team want to be a champion, they need to have 4 criteria:

1. Win against the previous top 5.
2. Win all your home game & dont lost away games.
3. Win all the games against the lauk team.
4. Hit top form when the last 10 games arrive.

Well MU certainly fit the bill firmly. How about my prediction for the top 6?

Mine
1. Manchester United.
2. Chelsea.
3. Arsenal.
4. Manchester City.
5. Tottenham Hotspurs.
6. Liverpool.

Actual
1. Manchester United.
2. Chelsea.
3. Manchester City.
4. Arsenal.
5. Tottenham Hotspurs.
6. Liverpool

X larik jauh kan? Pandainya aku predict. Nasib je sebenarnya...

Actually aku x expect that MU will win with a big margin of 9 points. Tp semuanya abis bile MU won over Chelsea at OT early May. Lepas tu Chelsea just collapse. Aku gak x expect Arsenal selepas a miserable March bole collapse terok gile. Iyela, dr in the running for quadruple title, bole jadi team hancur lebur. Tp at least all gooners bole seronok sbb dpt beat MU kat emirates.

Habis la season 2010/2011..... Tp harus di ingat yg Copa America plak menjelang tiba. Tp x ramai sebenarnya yg layan Copa. Termasuk aku. Hehe. Jumpa awal season depan utk the next preview of season 2011/2012 plak.

Manchester United vs. Barcelona final UCL 2010/11


Kedua-dua liga di Spain & England dah ditentukan siapa juaranya dgn Barcelona menjadi juara buat kali ketiga berturut2 dgn berbaki 2 perlawanan. Manakala d England, MU kembali merampas takhta liga dari Chelsea dgn kali ini lebih istimewa sbb kali ini adalah kali ke 19 MU bergelar juara dan menjadi kelab terhebat dalam sejarah liga perdana Inggeris kerana memecahkan rekod Liverpool sebyk 18 kali menjadi juara liga.

Enough about both club achievement so far in their domestic league. Skrg kite crita psl liga juara juara eropah or Uefa Champions League (UCL) di mana kedua2 kelab bakal bertembung di peringkat akhir pada 28 May 2011 nnti.

Atas kertas ke atas pape pon, Barcelona mmg favourite utk menang UCL ni. Even aku kalo crita pd awal season, aku pon mmg ckp Barcelona mmg bole menang menang la UCL tahun ni. Tp skrg... Aku brani ckp yg MU ble menang game ni. Mind u guys that setiap kali aku buat prediction, about 90% betul. And i predict base on fact...ok..

1st & foremost.... 1st XI







Basically both team will play their best XI. Kita dah tau that SAF will play Park & Valencia in all his important games. So he will not change that. While Barca mmg akan main mcm biasa diorg main. Mcmane MU nak menang game ni? Alangkan Mourinho's les merengues pon kalah 4/6 el classico, mcmane MU nak menang, kan?

Well...... Here's how.

1. Bring the game to Barca.
Mcm lwn Chelsea. Get the 1st goal. Sapa dpt 1st goal will rule the game. Yeah...mmg betul MU pakai taktik yg sama time 2008/09 UCL final. Tp backfired. Tp this time will be different. This team will not repeat the same mistake again.

2. Null Dani Alves.
Evra & Park will contain both Dani Alves & Pedro. Dpt contain diorg ni, dpt halang Barca punya attacking side.

3. Contain Xavi & Iniesta.
This is why Park will play instead of Nani. Park with his extra lung will help Carrick & Giggs to mark Xavi & Iniesta.

Mesti korg tanye mcmane plak dgn Messi... Well he is totally on a different plane. The only way to stop Messi is to stop any ball from getting to him.

In the UCL final 2008/09, MU did not play as they normally play. So they & I are hoping the real MU will show up this time. Beside... Kita kan ada Rooney & Hernandez....

Final result: MU 2 - 1 Barcelona.

Last season masa kat anfield....





Next season bile korg dtg kat old trafford ataupon time kitorg dtg anfield, it will be this

Yg buat lagi best... Korg bragging about ur proud history when most of u masa tu .... blm lahir pon lagik! Tp Manchester United tak... They achieve it now... Present...masa ni...laaa ni kata org utara. Aku bole rasa mcmane bestnya pecahkan rekod org. So this feeling memang heaven!!!!

So... Telan jela. GGMU!!

But he's not...for now

WTF!

MU & Rooney buat drama swasta ker? Ke nak jd cam WWE? Adoi!

Its kinda hard for me... a diehard MU fan to accept this kinda attitude. For me..he's already gone when he say he want to leave MU.

But to make a complete U-turn now with reason of regret on what he want to do? Who does he think? Eric Cantona? Gua rasa dia blah lagi bagus la. Memporak perandakan team jer. I do not know whether Vidic, Fletcher & Evra when being interviewed right after the win against Bursaspor 'acting' when they say that they are not happy with the way Rooney treat MU. But if its true, then Rooney have an uphill task to win back not only the fan (like me) but his own team mates.

Whatever it is, it does ruin my week....

Damn...

He's leaving...

I did write a post saying that he is the best player in the world. But now.. It seems like he might be the best player in the world for another team.. Not Manchester United.

Yea.. Im talking about Wayne Rooney.

Fergie.. In his most open statement about Rooney, say that Rooney wont sign the new contract which make him the highest paid player in United history & be a United player for life. And to complicate the matter, this issue has been drag from last year- to be more precise-after the Bayern game in Old Trafford.

So.. It is not a good story at all for us MU fans. Not only that, MU now are facing possibility of becoming an average team compare to Chelsea & Man City if the matter getting out of hand.

I believe the current team know what happening & Fergie will use his vase experience to make sure United wont falter as United is not a 1 player team.. United are a the team.

With or without Rooney, United still can survive the big 4. Only that, it will be more harder to win back the title.

Who will win the BPL 2010/2011

Last season aku manage to predict the correct order of team from champion to 2nd runners up. Nasib jer tuh...Aku bkn tukang tilik pon. If aku tukang tilik, aku dah kaya skrg ni...Bkn mcm skrg ni..hehe.

So...for the new season, sape plak yg aku rasa ble menang title season ni? Tahun ni tanpa segan silu aku mengatakan yg MU akan merampas kembali title champion dari Chelsea. Bukan sebab aku penyokong tegar MU, tp dari data2 yg aku kumpul dan ramalan pak belalang bgtau kat aku semalam, tahun ni...mmg tahun MU..

Basically, in order to win the BPL, you have to:

1. Win your game against top 5 team last season i,e Chelsea, MU, Arsenal, Spurs & Man City. Oklah...aku masukkan gak Liverpool. Karang majuk plak fan the Kop nih.

2. Win all your home game and try not to lose at away game.

3. Win your game against team2 lauk. If team ko draw or worst..lost again them...team ko mmg cari masalah ar.

4. Finally....Your team kena hit top form when the last 10 game arrive. This will determine your team position in the end of the season.


Tanpa melengahkan masa dan mengeringkan idea aku nak tulis apa, kat bawah ni adalah list of the team yg aku rasa akan duduk di top 5 liga BPL starting with:






MANCHESTER UNITED




Knape MU ble menang season nih? Tahun ni MU wont rely on Rooney sorg jer. Berbatov is BACK to his top form! Couple plak dgn budak baru 'cicakrito' Hernandez yg laju yg amat, MU will have no issue dgn their firepower. Macheda will play his role gak. Dah tentu mamat nih nak break the order of the striker kat MU.



Berbatov will be on form this season...kalo tak injured



Cuma kerisauan aku terletak di bhgn tengah. MU midfield are not compact as before.
Last season saw that when Carrick off form, Fletcher terkial2 nak cover the engine room. Without any new signing kat department ni...aku risau MU punya engine room akan kena ganyang dgn Essien, Meireles & Modric.
Lagipun...sampai bile MU nak rely pd Giggsy & Scholesy? Aku cuma harap Hargreaves & Anderson will be back & hit their top form when the time come.

Other dept, no worries. Semua ader cover.

Finishing position: 1st. MU will entertain Liverpool at Anfield, Arsenal at Emirates and of course possible title decider (again) Chelsea at Old Trafford in the last 10 games.
Mcm susah, kan?
By March..we will know who will be in the running for the title contenders.
So ade possibility yg some of the team aku mention mungkin tgh on form or maybe off form. Korang mesti ingat gak yg on top of the schedule for BPL, diorg ni may still in the running for UCL games gak (or Euro Cup utk Liver).
So since Fergie dah faham bebenor mcmane nak shuffle his first 11, aku tak risau sgt pasal MU player. Cuma yg aku risau kalo ader yg injured i.e. VD Sar, Rooney, Vidic & Fletcher. If injured, ada possibility yg MU tak menang the title.

CHELSEA

Aper chance Chelsea tahun ni? If tgk dari 3 games baru2 ni, superb gile gayanya. Tp sampai bile? Harus di ingat Chelsea mempunyai ramai player yg berumur 30 tahun ke atas and most of them are the 1st eleven. Semuanya bergantung kepada...




Yes... Michael Essien.

If Essien perform and ader main, Chelsea will be superb. But if Essien, xder... Chelsea will be toothless in the middle in the park.
If korg perasan ar... Chelsea jarang concede gol sbb Essien dah bulldoze playmaker team lawan and bile dia dah buat mcm tuh...team lwn mmg payah ar nak supply bola ke goalscorer diorg.

Finishing position: 2nd. Chelsea punya last 10 games not as difficult as Liverpool but still Chelsea is an ageing team. Dgn Ramires, yahudi Benayoun jer diorg signing. Its very difficult to see Chelsea to win the league again this season. Chelsea will play against Man City, Spurs & MU in the last 10 games.



ARSENAL

The young team are getting older and more mature. Aku tak tau Fabregas akan dpt mengekalkan rekod superbnya spt season sblmnya due to nak pindah ke Barca punya pasal. Tp Arsenal ader sorg yg ble ade chance utk score more than 15 goal per season. He is....






Yup...new signing Marouane Chamakh. Mamat ni will be the new Fernando Torres of BPL. Arsenal will depend on him, Walcott, Arshavin and of coz...RV Persie. Will they be consistent? Its hard to know. Sbb defensive line a totally new line up: Vermaelen, Koscielny & Squillaci. Will they form a good unit? Susah aku nak analyze.

Finishing position: 3rd. Arsenal have the best last 10 games schedule. They will only have Liverpool & MU jer in the last 10 games. So its all up to the consistency of the team. Ader possibility utk pintas Chelsea if they consistence.




TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS

Spurs will struggle this season.
They will struggle to maintain a good performance for BPL and of coz UCL as well. If they silap strategize for each game, they will not finish top 5 in the league. With VD Vaart jer signing yg menarik, Spurs will rely on Defoe, Modric, Bale & Beanpole Crouch.
Its difficult to see them push for the title.

Finishing position: 5th. Spurs last 10 games consist of Man City at City Stadium, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge & Liverpool at Anfield. So as I say...Spurs will be struggling this season. If they consistence, they will be a force to be reckon with. But I doubt that...



MANCHESTER CITY

Real Madrid of BPL. Tp tak main mcm Real Madrid. The best signing this season is David Silva, Milner & Super Mario Balotelli.
Psl player...Man City tak payah risau la. The main concern will be whether Mancini can form a top 1st eleven in order to be title contender.
So far Man City dah kalahkan Liverpool & draw dgn Spurs which mean they have a good record so far. Tp bole kalah plak dgn Sunderland.
So as I say on top of this post, in order to win the league, u need to manage the 4 items mention first. This is where Man City blm ready to charge for the title.

Finishing position: 4th. Ader possibility utk capture 3rd place if they perform against the top 6. The last 10 games plak they have Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool at Anfield & Spurs at home. So if the player are focus and Mancini manage to keep his player happy, Man City will get the 3rd or 4th position.


LIVERPOOL

New manager means time to settle in. Liverpool will struggle for the 1st half of the season. Hodgson will analyze who will be his 1st eleven.
By then, maybe Liverpool dah jauh ketinggalan dlm persaingan liga. They will again depends on Torres & Gerrard. But the difference this time is Liver dah ader good midfield in the form of Raul Meireles & Poulsen.
Liverpool will be base on the two midfielder and the rest of the offensive? Just like how he play Fulham last time.
Finishing position: 6th. Liver will face MU & Man City at home, Arsenal at Emirates & Spurs at home in their last 10 games. It will be hard to see Liverpool to push for the title this season. Next season maybe?
Ok...thats my view on the top 6. Any dark horse to rattle the top 6 this season? Everton, Fulham & Aston Villa come into the picture. Tp since two of the team having new manager, it will be hard to see any dark horse that can upset any of the top 6.
By Jan 11, aku akan update my prediction. By that time I hope we will have amore clearer picture on who will win the BPL title this season. Until then...enjoy the games!

Bile launch? Ntah...tunggu ar nnti bile website rasmi MU bgtau. For those yg sokong Liverpool & Chelsea, pegi ar al-Ikhsan or adidas store or kgkawan korg (yg jual jersey pirate) coz jersey baru season depan dah start jual dah...

For the time being, this will be the nearest to the official jersey yg aku nmpk kat internet. So once dah kompem, aku akan update dlm blog ni...

Berbatov....flop or scapegoat?


Yes.. Selepas game Blackburn ahad lepas, most of the people blame Berbatov punca MU draw dgn Blackburn.

Aku pelik...yes Berbatov tak score. Tp does that mean that when he didnt score, MU will lose? Come on lah!! MU tak kalah...cuma draw.

Ewood park is a very hard place to come. Arsenal draw, Chelsea pon draw, Aston Villa kalah... Liverpool pon draw. Cuma Man City & Spurs jer menang kat sini. So its a very difficult place to win. But tipikal ABU, kalo MU draw pas kalah or out before that game...MU are done.

So sapa kita nak salahkan? Giggsy? dia blm dpt recapture his form sblm tgn dia injured. So sapa kita nak salahkan? Easy... blame it on Berbatov...



To be frank..mamat ni mmg nmpk teruk since MU beli dia dr Spurs. Dia tak score regularly mcm kat Spurs. Dia tak dpt main regularly pun mcm kat Spurs. So mmg ar senang nak blame Berbatov punca MU DRAW ngan Blackburn.
Tp kalo ko tgk game ni or every game dia main betul2. Dia jarang lepaskan possesion pada team lawan when the ball at his feet. He score goal but not regularly. He did mention he love creating goal rather than scoring them. So korg kena understand that he play as the 2nd striker....not the main striker. He like to play deep and once he got the ball, he will hold it until his teammates play up front of him so that he can pass the ball or maybe play 1-2 with them to score goals.
So sapa patut di salahkan? Actually the midfield. Valencia not finishing his golden chance..TWICE....We didnt create chance for the striker to score. Its important. Why? Just like Iniesta and Xavi for Barca. If not for them... Messi wont get beautiful passes to score them.
It will be hard for us to get back on the winning way. Dah ler this coming weekend Manchester darby at city of Manchester stadium. Really hope that Bolton can hold off Chelsea like last season.
Aku really hope that our midfield will reorganize so that the whole team can play like we normally play. We really missing Hargreaves in the front of the back 4. We really miss 1 libero to marshall the midfield. Hope somebody can fill that position ASAP.
Whatever it is...aku akan still sokong MU. Biarpon MU masuk Championship...
Glory..glory

Manchester United 3-2 Bayern Munich (Agg 4-4): Menang pun kalah

Panasnya tempat ni!!!!

Aku bgn lmbt nak tgk game ni. Bgn2 je... tgk Rooney main. Then tgk scoreline: MU 2-0 Bayern. Gile gempak. Ni mimpi ka betui...

Then perut aku sakit nak melepas plak...kacau. Pegi jgk la toilet - melepas. Sambil melepas...aku terdengar Nani score lagi. Gila punya game. MU ble pegi ni.. aku cakap sambil membersihkan apa yg patut.

Baru jer aku melabohkan bontot aku kat kerosi- Ollic score pulak... Cilakak. Mcmane MU ble terlepas mamat yg sungguh annoying nih!. Dahle score gol kemenangan kat Allianz, kat Old trafford pon nak jugak.

Then abis 1st half. Aku tgk sms kat tepon aku "Rooney main siot!" Aku sms balik "gilak punya game!" ...Ko tak balas plak Tepeng...

Mmg gilak punye game. Masuk 2nd half, Ribery provoke Ref utk bagi 2nd yellow card pd Rafael and he got it.

Damn...

From there on..MU again..crumble. Thanks to Robben. Thanks very much.

Mu didnt mark him and Ribery properly. Ini yg buat aku rindukan Park Ji Sung...hehe and of coz making me miss Owen Hargreeaves more and more.

Menang pun kalah..Aper la.

Takper la. Pas tu Ayra plak takble tido...Agaknya dia pon tensen tgk team ayah dia out. Mataku dah terkebil2...Ayra tak tido gak...

Gila punya game...

Manchester United 1 - 2 Chelsea: Title race to the end!


Yes... Sblm keputusan linesman yg memporak perandakan semangat MU kat atas ni, MU tgh sebok menghentam kubu Chelsea bertubi2 sampaikan Ancelotti terpaksa memasukkan Drogba dan Kalou utk menukar rentak yg Ancelotti pon rasa kalau berterusan...kompem akan ada gol.
Tp bile gol Drogba disahkan walaupon jelas sekali mmg offside. MU has crumble.
Penat blk dari kekalahan di Munchen, kena pulak melayan Chelsea yg mmg tgh fit sbb diorg mane ade UCL game nak kesahkan. So kompem ar 1st half MU mmg tak kompetitif langsung. Even Park Ji Sung yg super fit pon mcm pancit jer.....
Masuk 2nd half...Chelsea terpaksa bertahan. Langsung tak dpt nak jejak halfway line. But then come the 2nd goal.
That 2nd goal seriously kill the game for MU. Macheda handball goal? Mmg handball pon. Tp if not for Drogba goal, the game will turn to its head.
Well the title race is still ON. To the end!

Sembang kedai kopi....

All competition fixtures for BPL 09/10 contenders

"Askm, Din! kat sini rupanye ko.... apsal tak g masjid subuh td?" Kata Pak Abu sambil mengupas pisang yg tersedia atas meja kedai kopi Pak Mael.

"Wslm... aku terbabas ler. Sib baek bini aku kejut lagi 10 min pkl 7. Kalo tak...tinggal le Suboh aku. Itupon kelam kabut aku mandi wajib. Maklum la..mlm jumaat" Sengih menyinga Pak Sudin.

"Ah ko ni... dah 1 team bola anak ko... tak cukup2 lagi ker?", Pak Abu sinis.. Tp sbnrnye dia tak puas ati sbb bini dia pg umah akaknya utk persediaan kenduri ujung minggu tuh. Tido ler Pak Abu sengsorg.

Pak Sudin dah nak cramp menyengih tak sudah.

"Sapa ble menang liga ingeres tahun ni? MU lagi ker?", Pak Mael mencelah...Mencelah siap bwk kopi order Pak Abu. Most of yg lepak kat kedainya... Pak Mael dah tau ape diorg nak...rutin biasa mereka.

"Dah tentulah Liverpool!", kata Pak Abu.

"Ko ni, Bu....sah sah ler team kamu tu terkial2 nak dpt tempat ke-4, Dulu2 boleh la team kamu tu ayam2kan team lain..Skrg ni jgn mimpilah! Tahun ni aku rasa Chelsea yg menang. Sbb Chelsea tinggal paling byk pon 10 game aje. MU dgn Arsenal lagi byk game kena main kalo mereka menang dlm piala eropah tu. Chelsea cuma ada liga dan FA Cup jer tinggal...Itu org panggil apa? atas kertas? on paper? kalo main betul2..blm tentu lagi", Sampai dah lg sorg korum mereka - Pak Osman.

Pak Osman penyokong tegar liga Inggeris. Dia sokong Nottingham forest. So skrg ni dia penyokong berkecuali. Nak buat mcmane.... team dia br nak coba nak naik BPL..Itupon kalo menang playoff sbb Newcastle cam kompem masuk blk BPL.

"Betul jgk tu Pak Osman. Tp harus di ingat..team saya walaupon ade 2 game lebih byk dr Chelsea, MU ade byk pemain yg ble cover kalo sesapa cedera...kecuali Rooney, Fletcher & Van Der Sar. Yg penting backup kena kuat. Kalo nak harapkan 11 player yg same utk semua game..kompem ar bole kalah sbb tak larat.", Sampok dah si Hanif...

Pantang ada cite pasal bola. Kompem dia nak mencelah. Hanif mmg kaki tgk bola. Main bola? hampeh....

"Bkn Arsenal kat no. 2 liga ker skrg ni? Dah tu...bkn Arsenal ke yg paling senang lawannya?", Pak Sudin nak bersuara jgk. Pak Sudin kureng psl bola. Kalo psl wrestling...ckp jer. Cena ke..Batista ke..Kane ke..kompem dia tau.Itu pon nasib baik anak dia..Si Zizan.. penyokong Arsenal. Itu sbb dia tau. Kalo tak... nganga jer la Pak Sudin bile org cite psl bola.

"Knape Liverpool tak ble menang?Bkn ke dah menang lwn apa ntah team dari perancis tuh..", Pak Abu tetap nak menangkan pasukan dia. Mmg dasar penyokong Liverpool.

"Pak Abu...kalo stakat UEFA Cup tu...bagi jer la kat Fulham ker Everton ke Man City ke.. Piala tuh utk pasukan2 kelas-2 liga2 eropah la. Org sebok Champions League la...Champion tau..", Kata Hanif. Mamat ni kalau dibiarkan mau bertumbuk dgn Pak Abu. Tp nasib Pak Abu baek. Anaknya Zana mmg cun. Abis semua budak bujang kat kampung ni nakkan Zana. Maka kenalah Hanif ngontrol.. Itupon sebenarnya..Hanif tak tau yg Pak Abu mmg x nak bermenantukan penyokong MU. Kalo tau..punah ler harapan..hehe..

"Arsenal bkn tak ble menang Pak Sudin... Cuma tak tau sama ada budak2 Arsenal ni mampu bertahan utk semua 10 game. Lwn Barcelona kompem dah..kompem dah kalah.. If semua game bln 4 ni diorg ble sapu...mungkin diorg ble menang BPL. Itupon dgn harapan MU @ Chelsea buat silap.", Hujah Hanif.

"Semuanya bergantung pada bln 4 ni. If memasing ble dpt poen byk... tentu best bawah hingga ke wayar!", Pak Osman menyampuk.

"Point lah Pak Osman.. bkn poen!... Jgn ler alih bahasa sampai mcm tuh.. down to the wire kalo alih bahasa jd... hingga ke penhujungnya ler...", Kata Cikgu Hanif... Rosak bahasa org kampung skrg ni. Tp takpe...at least they try...

"Camane plak dgn liga super? Ade can tak Johor FC nak menang tahun ni?", Pak Sudin masih mencuba utk join the crowd.

Tp dia silap...abis jer dia sebut liga super... Pak Abu trus masuk keta menghala ke Pekan, Pak Mael sebok melayan pelanggan lain, Pak Osman? Buat2 nak ngikut Pak Abu...Hanif? Cepat2 naik motor...blah!

Moral of the story: Sesapa nak kawin ngan anak Pak Abu, kontek aku...Cun siot!!!

Manchester United 2 - 1 Liverpool: We are not arrogant, we are just better


Celaka Howard Webb!

Knape bagi penalti pada valencia, kan dia jatuh dalam kotak D kena tarik dgn mashimaro? Knape dia tak bagi kad time Mashimaro pegang tgn valencia dr luar kotak D? mesti semua org puas ati. Pas ni semua sentuhan dlm bolasepak akan di kira foul. mesti semua puas ati..terutama fan liverpool.
Tapi takpe... Reina dapat tahan penalti Rooney. Reina tetap penjaga yg bagus dealing dgn penalti.

Tp Reina terlupa.... dah nak jd cam kata Tun Mahathir plak " Melayu mudah lupa"....yg penalti dia selamatkan bknlah penalti shootout tetapi penalti dlm 90min game...Dgn senang ati Rooney menjaringkan gol setelah Reina menampan sepakan penaltinya back to Rooney.


Maka Rooney berjaya akhirnya menjaringkan gol ke atas Liverpool. Tiba2 aku baru teringat post aku sblm ni... kena la aku carik Jersey United dgn nama Rooney..hehe..

Pujian melangit juga patut diberikan kepada Gerrard... Iye beb! Gerrard ada main game tuh..bkn Lucas jer yg ko tak nmpk..aku pun tak tau yg Gerrard main...Pujian tu utk apa? Pujian kerana terus setia dgn Liverpool walaupun tak pernah merasa menjulang piala BPL. Mungkin selepas World Cup ni dia akan berubah fikiran...mengikut Benitez ke Real Madrid dan kembali menjalinkan hubungan dgn alonso dan of coz teman tapi mesra - Cristiano Ronaldo.

Aku tetap kagum kat Torres. Dia mmg antara pemain yg aku suka sblm dia join Liverpool. Tp syg...aku skrg suka gak kat Torres...tp suka gelakkan Torres yg emo smpaikan tmpt nak amik penalti pon dia nak sepak....seakan-akan seorang budak yg merajuk tak dpt eskrem...



Aku tak puas ati dgn Park Ji Sung.... Nape MU dpt player yg tak abis kederat cam Park? Dah la arituh marking Pirlo tak hengat...tup tup Fergie bg dia 'roaming midfielder' plak. Baru aku perasan...sbb tu ler Gerrard tak nmpk pun maen dlm game tuh...ntah2 Park marking dia... Nyudahnye...Park yg score the winning goal..Tp dia mmg deserve gol tu...hasil kederat tak sudah...

Fletcher? AKu dah kabo byk kali...mamat ni mmg suka menyusahkan team pihak lawan jer...asal nak serang jer..ader je la mamat ni kat bawah...tackle plak..bkn kecik2 anak. kalo ble semua org nak dia tacklekan...tp Fletcher makin bijak..tu yg menyusahkan tu... Fletcher, Rooney, Nani, Evra, Da Silva brothers, Evans, dan ramai lagi budak2 reserve MU masih budak2 lagi...

Dan paling aku tak puas ati ialah kat Vidic. Apsal b4 ni, tiap2 kali game lwn Liverpool mesti kena kad merah..tp kali ni tak dpt plak...ish... tu yg aku kata Howard Webb ni teruk...
Susah sgt.. pas ni panggil Subkhiddin jd ref la. kompem semua penyokong BPL kat Mesia ni sokong Ref plak instead of tim BPL. Itupon kalau korg kenal sapa Subkhiddin tuh...

Wayne Rooney: The Best Player in the World 2010



There is no doubt that Rooney currently is the best player in the world. Siapa lagi yg korang nampak ader potensi utk rampas the coveted title which currently reign supreme by Lionel Messi.

John Terry ker? Jgn harap ar... Stakat rampas awek org walaupon dah berbini, bole ar...

Lionel Messi? Susah beb.... Org dah ble baca game dia. If stakat Valladolid ker...Real Sociadad or even my Los Che aka Valencia...bole ler score hattrick. Cuba lwn Real Madrid...or FC Bayern...or Inter...mesti susah beb. Lwn United? Err.... If Fergie ble baca formation yg Guardiola pakai, kompem ble ikatnyer la.

Former team mate - Cristiano Ronaldo? Not this season. Ron masih menyesuaikan diri dlm Galaktiko Perez... Bkn senang nak main dlm kesebelasan yg penuh dgn bintang-bintang bergemerlapan...Tgk aper dah jadi ngan Karim...Bkn Pak Karim, Karim Benzema la... Dok terperap jer kat bangku simpanan jer..Elok lagi Pak Karim...ble cucuk tanam kat kg. Dpt gak hasil... Eh Melalut plak...Back to Rooney.


Sejak meng'introduce'kan dirinya ke dunia bolasepak dengan jaringan yg memusnahkan rekod tanpa kalah the invicible Gunners 8 tahun lepas, Rooney mmg ada potensi utk menyerlah di peringkat dunia.

Masa ni aku dah mula suka kat Rooney. Tp bkn pasal dia, tp sebab dia buat Arsenal kalah. Yelah...time tu Arsenal jer yg ada can utk pecahkan dominasi United. Dah tentu ar aku jadi ABA..Anything but Arsenal.

Bile Fergie sign mamat nih, aku cam tak caya jer....Mahal beb mamat ni United beli.... £28M tuh. Tp it pay off, coz Rooney score hattrick on his debut. Gempak tuh!

If dulu...mamat ni mmg hangin 1 bdn ar. Pantang org wind up dia, nak blasah jer kije dia. But...as always...Fergie the daddy berjaya tame the bad boy image and Rooney semakin meletop...Bkn dia letopkan kepala org...Dia meletop dgn jaringan gol yg makin lama makin byk....chantek punya....

Ha...Bercakap pasal jaringan plak...sejak kepala makin botak, Rooney semakin kerap menjaringkan gol dgn tandukan. Dia sendiri mengaku yg sejak rambut makin kurang ni, semua tandukannya makin tajam. Mungkin berkat kekurangan rambut agaknya.


Tanduk pon boleh!

One more thing yg mmg buat aku makin respek si Rooney ni is his perception towards life as a football star. Ader artikel yg aku bace yg puji si Rooney ni. If other football star attending press conference after any match or practise session, mesti pakai wangi2.... rambut hensem2...dressing mmg tak yah ckp ar...Adidas la..Nike la...D&G ker...Armani ker..& ntah ape brand lagi ar... But Wayne Rooney came in dgn baju trek...titik2 peluh masih kelihatan. Takder wangi2 ar.... That is why he might be the last real Footballer cam Giggsy & Scholesy.





With beloved wife: Coleen

And of coz..his private life. Dia bkn cam football star yg lain... date ngan Paris Hilton...Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham or any other WAG la. Rooney ttp dgn his high school sweet heart (ntah ler dia pegi high school ker tak...) smpai ler diorg kahwin dan dpt anak lelaki baru2 ni.


Bulldozing all opponent

Rooney gak tak selfish. He is a team player. If ader team mate yg ade better scoring opportunity than him, he will pass to that man. His passing pun makin lama makin superb... Tgk ler his cross field pass pada Park Ji Sung utk set up Berbatov punya gol masa lwn Fulham. Memang superrbbb.

Last season gak dpt tgk yg Rooney sanggup main kat any position even left wing just to accommodate Ron punya superb form. But this season...no more. He is Manchester United main man... He will defend..he will run the yard just like what he do for his goal against Arsenal at Emirates. He really show that he is a Mancunian no longer a Scourcer (ntah betul ker tak ejanya).

Eh...not only Manchester United main man...He is England hope of winning the World Cup. Kalau dia punya form continue smpai World Cup and tak sustain any big injury like Beckham... He will be among the star attraction to the world cup selain Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Torres, Xavi, Iniesta and of coz David Villa.

Meraikan kejayaan menjaringkan 20 gol dan juga player of the month for January '10

Fergie mmg tak salah splash that kind of money to buy Rooney. If dulu aku ade doubt psl mamat ni, now no more... He is the best player in the world. Cuma ada 1 team yg Rooney mmg nak score against but till now, masih tak dapat.. Who else if not LIVERPOOL. Maklum ar..diakan berasal dari Everton..Everton ngan Liverpool kan musuh ketat. If dia dpt score against Liverpool. Komfom aku bli jersey MU ngan nama Rooney 10 kat blkg!

Liverpool 2 - 0 Manchester United: Torres..Torres

If ade good thing com out from the game for us is that we show them who we are now mcm dlm gmbr kat atas ni.
MATCH FACTS:
Liverpool
Shots (on goal): 16 (5)
Saves: 3
FOULS COMMITTED: 20
Corner kicks: 5
Offsides: 1
Possession: 43%
Yellow Cards: 1
Red Cards: 1
Manchester United
Shots (on goal): 8 (3)
Saves: 3
FOULS COMMITTED: 13
Corner Kicks: 1
Possession: 57%
Yellow Cards: 3
Red Cards: 1
Aku ble bg mcm2 alasan yg contribute to kekalahan MU di Anfield. Dari 'Jetlag' balik dari Moscow hari Khamis lepas, Fletcher yg lom fully fit utk main, Ferdinand form yg mcm yo-yo, Ref? ..x byk membantu kalo tgk dari match stats kat atas ni dan mcm2 lah alasan lagi.
Tp as a diehard MU fan, aku mengaku yg the better team won the game. Liver control the midfield in the 2nd half yg contribute to kemenangan mereka.
Bole lah mereka riak dgn rekod kemenangan 3x berturut2 ke atas MU dlm 22 tahun. Tp...MU x perlu riak dlm masa 22 tahun ni, kite dah buat 4 kemenangan berturut2 sblm season lepas. Itu x termasuk rekod2 lain. MU x perlu riak pasal tu.
Mcmane lepas ni?
Ada beberapa soalan aku nak tanye those betul2 Liverpool supporter..
If Gerrard x sempat baik esok, can Liver reach knock out stage UCL? Jgn lupe..Lyon bknlah lwn yg senang utk ditundukkan ditempat sendiri.
Mcmane plak dgn Fulham? dan seterusnya...
Heheh...
MU have qualify to the knock out stage of UCL, so can Liver follow?
FB aku, phone aku..senyap beberapa hari b4 last sunday game. Ade yg tukar team, dah x sokong Liver lagi..sokong Real lah, Barca lah etc...
Tp bile menang jer lwn MU...penuh inbox aku ngan sms2 bebudak Liver...Teruklah korg ni. Bile team korg kalah, mane pegi korg? Silence is golden konon. Sokong time team kuat jer buatpe... Baik korg sokong Kedah ke, Perlis ke Kelantan ke..at least ble ar tgk team tu main tiap2 minggu.
Semua sms tu senang je aku jwb:
"Best team won the game, but it doesnt meant that you have won the title!"
Glory Glory Man United!

Goodbye dull weekend! Coz the football season are back!!

Will MU win it again to surpass Liver record?

Weekend baru ni bermulalah kembali 1 lagi season bolasepak yg semua peminat bola tunggu2 kan. BPL are back!
Maka bermulalah kembali sesi berjaga di tgh mlm, berebut remote control, social plan disruption, sesi merajuk-pujuk. Percaya atau tidak, masa ni kami kaum Adam (& sbhgian kaum Hawa) sanggup dok rumah dari kluar rumah di mlm minggu. Sanggup dok kat mamak berejam2 tanpa kaum isteri risau lokasi suami masing2.
Tak cukup smpai bulan May 2010, sambung plak dgn musim yg 4 tahun dtg sekali-World Cup 2010 plak mengisi bln Jun 2010. Bagi those wifes/gf's yg understand their hubby's/bf madness, we men appreciate a lot! (Especially u my wife!!)
Cerita panjang jadi pendek, gua sbnrnye nak preview BPL season baru nih. Sapa yg gua rasa ada potensi & ble jadi champion & those yg masih bermimpi2 di siang hari. Well, lets start with:


MANCHESTER UNITED
This season Red Devil berwajah baru. A face of a true team. No more 1 player dominate others. For me, gua mmg appreciate all the sumbangan yg C Ronaldo buat utk MU beberapa season termasuk season lepas. But as before him. Ferguson realize that MU has almost become C Ronaldo United, like when we too depending to RV Nistelrooy for goals which end up we lost the title race to Chelsea.
Will Rooney unleash his magic now that Ronaldo has left?
With him gone, its time for others utk step up their game especially for Rooney. He has sacrifice a lot for the team. Now Fergie has let loose the leash on him. Korang akan dpt tgk Rooney potensi. He will definitely push through all barrier for MU. He is Manchester United. But he wont be like Ronaldo. Rooney is a team player while Ronaldo is a performer. Both have their pro & cons. Let see this season sapa yg outshine the other one.
Bkn Rooney jer. Berbatov, Nani, Anderson will try to prove that they can up the tempo when it matters. This season also will see Fletcher playing a bigger part in midfield. He has shown it last season.
This season will prove vital for all player especially the 3 new signing. Owen, Obertan & Valencia. While Valencia will fill in the right flank roll nicely, its a fighting for the 1st XI for both new signing. Gua still x ble percaya that we have sign Owen. But its true that Owen does fill the gap left by Tevez. Maybe when Owen have settled down with the team, he can show whether he still have the predatory instinct anymore.
Finishing position: 2nd. 1st if Chelsea change their manager again. Why? Ronaldo effect. For the 1st half season, we need to adapt. I only can see that when 2nd half of the season take place. Then MU will blazing all front. Problem is, with Liverpool, Chelsea & Man City in the final 10 games, we will definitely feel the heat. That is why Im rooting for MU to finish 2nd.
CHELSEA
Chelsea actually a strong side. The problem with them is the manager. Without a good manager since Abrahamovic sack Mourinho, Chelsea play like a yo-yo.
Captain Terryific
With Terry, Alex & Calvalho towering in defence, Essien & Mikel patrolling the midfield area while Lampard, Ballack & Deco roaming in the final third not forgetting Drogba, Anelka & Kalou firing the gun-Chelsea look rock solid on paper. Another advantage that Chelsea have is their towering & tough presence. Gua mmg x suka bile lwn Chelsea. Why? Dgn tinggi & permainan keras diorg. Mmg ble buat tension seh!.
If they can take advantage of their disposal couple with good management skill from Ancelotti, they might win the league this season.
Finishing position: 1st. 3rd if change manager. Their league schedule is much better than the others. If they can take advantage of this element, they will definitely hard to catch.

ARSENAL
"You can't win with kids" was Alan Hansen (formerly Liverpool player) most famous qoute. The same season, MU won the title with Giggs & others Fergie fledglings i.e. Becks, Scholesy, Neville's brother & Butt who are kids during that season. So don't write off Arsenal yet.
Fabregas will play big roles again for Arsenal
Last season we find out that the young side of Arsenal lead the table early of the season only to be whacked when the 2nd half of the season kick off. But this season it wont be the same. We will see Arsenal take on the teams like storm. With additional of their "new" player in Rosicky & Eduardo. Plus Vermauleen in CB will definitely shore up the defence. Up front is their main concern.
With losing Adebayor to Man City, Arsenal do not have a lanky striker up front. MU did show that before Berbatov join them, it is not a big problem for Rooney & Tevez to play up front. So its not a problem for Arsenal. The main concern are the team sustainability. Whether they can sustain to play beautiful football until season end.
Finishing position: 3rd. Their season schedule are the better of all top 4 team. With Man City pose a big threat in the final 10 games, they might finish higher if MU or Chelsea slip up.

LIVERPOOL
If korg follow Football Focus with John Dykes every Tuesday 8pm on ESPN, non of the pundits believe that Liverpool can win the title let alone stay in the top 4. They are the one who going to push down by Man City.
Will both of them fit for season long?
Why? Too depending to Gerrard & Torres. Without both or one of them playing, Liverpool just drop their % to win to below than 40%. Thats show how much Gerrard & Torres meant to Rafa. Without any major signing during the transfer market. Finally losing Alonso to Real Madrid. Liverpool will struggle to follow last season performance. Itu x ckp psl their backline consist of Carragher & Skrtel. If b4 this, Liverpool are very proud of their defensive record. Since Carragher introduced in the central role of defense, that record gone.
Mmg la gua benci Liverpool. Its a fact. But gua just didnt have any praise to them. They dont add new player that can bring differences in a match. Torres is their only biggest signing. Why they cant buy or attract big names? Small transfer funds & small wages. Aquilani for £20M. Ridiculous, man. Gua suka Aquilani, tp mamat tuh x smpai harga tuh. Gaji kat Liverpool adalah lebih kurang mcm kat Arsenal je. That y susah nak attract big names.
Finishing position: 4th. Itupun if Man City x perform as expected. If Man City perform, bye2 Liver from the top 4 equation. Itu x cerita ttg final 10 games lagi, Liverpool need to play against MU & Chelsea. It will be difficult for them . But if they manage to play like last season, they can knick it.

MANCHESTER CITY
The Real Madrid of BPL. Name the price, they will dump it to you. With the crazy transfer funds which they have invested more than £100M on Adebayor, Toure, Tevez, Barry, Santa Cruz etc, Man City & Real Madrid has made the transfer price rise crazily. Making other club difficult to get their target player in the region of their budget.
With the new squad in disposal, plus current player like Ireland, Given, Robinho & co, it will hard to leave Man City out of title contention. If Mark Hughes manage to gel these players to play as a team, they will definitely run the other team down into the drain.

Star in the making

The key player for them will be Given, Toure, Barry, Ireland & whoever playing up front. If they perform, the team will perform well. This players will be the foundation of the team. If they cant play well, then the Top 4 team of BPL will remain the same.
Finishing position: 5th. They might finish top 4 if any of the top 4 slip up.



Any dark horse team this season?
Nop. It will be between MU, Arsenal & Chelsea. While Liverpool & Man City will fight for 4th. Spurs might be the dark horse in finishing 4th. They have beaten Liverpool again at White Hart Lane last weekend. If they manage to play descent football weekend weekout, they might provide the surprise.

Hope our team will play their hearts out. Not only they will be playing for BPL, Champions league is another thing. Gua akan preview UCL when the playoff abis nanti.

Enjoy the season and let the best team win. Glory glory!!
