United V/s Roma : Review

Another good night at Old Trafford see us go past Roma and head into the Semi-Finals....against Barcelona....
It was a really good night mainly because we rested C.Ronaldo and Rooney (who was substituted later on), and finally after 13 painstaking months, Gary Neville is back, and every time he touched the ball the fans cheered, he wasn't playing in his natural full back position though, he was positioned as a defensive mid fielder, and Ferdinand played the full 90 minutes.......And we were able to rest C.Ronaldo for the next crucial Premier League tie against a deflated Arsenal after their departure at the hands of Liverpool...
We played really played fantastically, breaking at the speed of light, and getting behind Roma's defense regularly , Doni had to make 5 or 6 really good saves, to keep his team in the tie.....Even Roma had their chances....and what chances they had....


A not-penalty was awarded on a diving Manchini..... De Rossi - World Cup penalty scorer - was giving the ball, and what does he do?? He shoots High , Wide and Handsome!!! - Justice was served - Altho after that Roma seemed to step up the challenge...
But Hargreaves played some really juicy ball into the Roma area causing their defenders problems and ultimately, it was his inch-perfect pass that lead to Tevez's stooping header, and us qualifying on an aggregate of 3 - 0......
Next League match is against Arsenal, then we travel to Nou Camp to slug it out against Barcelona....
Good Luck Reds and welcome back Gary Neville!!!!

until the next match that Man United win, this is nuspeed signing out.....
Chaoo and take care.......

AS Roma V/s Man Utd : Review

Wonderful night at the Stadio Olimpico......a very clean and professional performance by the reds.....they defended really well...when Roma attacked and they did quite often....one was a very neat glancing header from Vucinic which was saved by Van der sar...what a world class save....

We come away with a huge 2 "AWAY" Goals Advantage which doubles the troubles for the Giallorossi in the return leg of the Quarter Final....

One of the goals was scored by non other than Cristiano Ronaldo....A superman like jump and a thumping header into the back of Roma's net...that makes him the highest goal scorer in the champions league too!!.....and demolishes any speculation that he goes missing against big teams....the other goal was a mistake by Doni - AS Roma Goal-Keeper - who went for a spectacular goal save and parried the ball into the feet of Wazza who wouldn't miss from like 3 yards out.......making the score line 0-2...
The 6000 or so away fans were treated to some good football..
And yes unlike last year there was no nonsense from either the police or the fans.....it all went very peacefully....thank goodness!! :)


Until the next time the reds create magic this is nuspeed signing out........
Chaooo and take care of yaselves.........

United to face Roma

So we face the Italian side AS Roma in the Quarters of UEFA CL....A good draw i must say...there is intense rivalry towards them..and we already have played them once in this year's CL campaign...so we know their strengths and weeknessess....
And it's the second time in two seasons that the Giallorossi stand in Sir Alex Ferguson's way at the quarter final stage.

The Reds boss will be pleased his side are away in the first leg on Tuesday 1 April, with Luciano Spalletti bringing his men to Old Trafford for the return fixture on Wednesday 9 April.

The semi final draw was also made in Nyon on Friday. Should United get past Roma, the Reds will be away in the first leg of the last four, against either Schalke or Barcelona. The semi final first leg will be played on Wednesday 23 April, the return on Tuesday 29 April.

It means United cannot play Premier League opposition before the final in Moscow..wow what a final that would be...an all english final.. while the winner of Arsenal and Liverpool's all-English quarter final will face either Fenerbahce or Chelsea.

Full Draw
Arsenal v Liverpool
Roma v Manchester United
Schalke v Barcelona
Fenerbahce v Chelsea
