Now...lets the goal feast begin!!

Finally!!! After weeks of speculation and remarks by Sir Alex Ferguson (he'd actually jumped the gun when he said he's confident of signing Berbatov), this striker @ goal getting machine have finally landed at OT, but a higher price, of course!! He could have been signed much earlier at a lower price should Mr Alex kept his mouth zipped!

Now that we have more firepower...yayy.. what more can I say...err...more goals by ManUtd? I'm sure it will be pretty soon that MU will start to fire all cylinders in the run-up to the EPL, we can blatantly say to Arsingh Winger and his 'gonners' bye bye... keep on dreaming on winning the Barclay's EPL title... hahahahaha!!!!!

Ah, let's recall again the competitions/silverware that MU is vying for this season 2008/9:
1. FA Community Shield (against Portsmouth, Aug 10) - Won
2. UEFA Super Cup (against Zenit St. Petersburg of Russia, Aug 29) - Lost
3. Intercontinental Cup
4. FA Cup
5. English Premier League
6. Champions League

Too bad MU lost the UEFA Super Cup... it could have been another addition to the REAL REDS' congested trophy collection. But hey... Zenit is already somewhere in the middle of the Russian league, whereas MU just played two league games prior to the match.... so it's like having a 100m sprinter to race with a 400m runner. MU players hate loosing... and believe me they will bounce back even stronger and determined after this... and we have another goal scoring machine (new #9) coming into the first team... and some more Ronaldo is making a comeback end of this month. Hmm...sounds like things will get rosier for MU and there is good prospect of getting double double again this season... yayyyy!!! Or perhaps a good treble (FA, EPL & Champions League) again?

One more thing, did you notice how MU played in the 2nd half against Zenit at Monaco last week? Yeah...you would have notice if you are a die-hard fan of the club.... it's the never-say-die attitude of the players to get even or to make a comeback in the game. This never-say-die attitude was the ultimate THING that actually attracted me to this club in 1994. I had been a Liverpool fan in the 80s... but as the LIV players aged over the years, they are replaced by new players who do not actually play to the 'tune' of the team in the 80s (those were the days of John Aldridge, Ian Rush, Grobellar, John Barnes etc.). I must say the LIV team of the 90s onwards looses its sparkle lar... nothing fancy in their game eh.

Chelsea? Looks formidable on paper, but somehow after seeing their match against Wigan, I doubt they will have it easy against other team in the table. Pls remember, this is only the first season with a new coach and new playmaker (Deco)... but can they survive the hectic scheduling of League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League and Barcalys' EPL all in a season? Hahahaha... I doubt they can sapu all four trophies...but let's see how far can they go this season.

Gunners? Gooners? I think 'Gonners' will suit them best. Unless they change their arrogant coach, there's a very un-likelihood they will be 'Champions of England' and 'Kings of Europe' this season, next season etc. (dulu, sekarang dan selamanya).

EPL 2008/09!!

Yippiieeeeee... it will be another 2 weeks or so for the new EPL season to kick-off.... can't wait to see MU in action again!! Ah... no more boring Saturdays or Sundays by then.... how nice... slouching on my long sofa bed with some peanuts on one hand and the other hand holding a cold beer.... that's what I call living a good life!

Chelsea was around town last week... so? I can't be bothered to see them playing at the lousy stadium... unlike years ago when MU came to Bukit Jalil stadium (bigger and newer mar)... pack habis!!

Hmmm... Chelsea's coach claimed he has got all the players he need to sapu 4 trophies in one season... CAN or NOT?? That's pretty arrogant for someone who has not tasted the rivalry in English football, nor this person has the experience to rotate players to accomodate the super pack fixtures in December (during Christmas and New Year period) or Feb/Mac/April period where there will be finals i.e. FA Cup, Champions League and the run-ups to the closing of the prestigious Barclays' EPL .

A message to Chelsea's coach: Why not try to win three trophies first, at least try to be on par with MU whom are winners of the unprecedented treble in 1999?

Ah but then again, MU can surpassed Chelsea's 4 targets, as MU will be in the running for:
1. FA Community Shield (against Portsmouth, Aug 10)
2. UEFA Super Cup (against Zenit St. Petersburg of Russia, Aug 29)
3. Intercontinental Cup
4. FA Cup
5. English Premier League
6. Champions League

Altogether 6 possible trophies... wuuuuhooo... hard to believe MU can sapu all of them. But I believe they can... IF they have the hunger for more silverwares. I think if Berbatov is added into the first team, I'm sure MU will win at least 2 trophies this coming season. Glory, glory Man Utd!!
