Manchester United V/s Arsenal : Post Match thoughts

What a sensational match!!!!
Truly Epic...in every sense of the word!!!
One of the best matches I've seen this season.....
The first half was an open-ended affair...with arsenal having the better chances but poor finishes....
It was fast paced...with either sides breaking at lightning speeds!!
The second half began much like the first half ended...with fast pace....
and within 3 minutes of the restart Arsenal opened the scoring with a great ball from van Persie being converted into a goal by Adebayor, at first the ball seemed to be headed in from between Fredinand and van der Saar, but replays showed that Adebayor actually used a hand....will a hand at reds end to a hand at arsenal's end by Gallas within 6 minutes, led to United being awarded a penalty...i literally closed my eyes, muted the T.V, crossed my fingers, and told others to not tell me what had happened, i was trembling too :D ;)........ then when i opened my eyes, Ronaldo had scored but the ref denied it...i thought what the hell!!??...but to my relief he was allowed to take it again and i did the same thing again.....muted the TV and closed my eyes, and would you know it?? Ronaldo scored :D as if i didn't know that!! That was goal number 38 for Mr.Ronaldo, and arsenal lead was equalized......


Then, Ferguson made to changed bringing in Anderson and Tevez....
Both instantly impacted the game and brought a sense of speed to United play....
We won a free kick in a very good position, just enough for Ronaldo to bend it....
But whats this Hargreaves has placed the ball as if he's going to take it....i thought well it will be a near miss, but what a sensational goal!!!!!!
It was bent so much the Lehmann got fooled into thinking it would just miss the goal and he didn't even move!!!!
To be frank...the goal reminded me of David Backham's free-kicks!!
Bend it like Hargreaves!!!!


A great match for us to win, going behind, then equalizing and then ultimately winning the match!!!! Just the perfect result for us.....now we're off to Barcelona!!!!


Until that match this is nuspeed dribbling out............
Chaoo and take care.....
Cyaaa and Glory, Glory Man United!!!

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.......

United V/s Middlesbrough : Review

Wow! What a scintilating football match!
This the most exciting match of Man Utd that i have watched in recent weeks....
There were a lot of Uh's and Ah's....i can assure of that....The way in which i celebrated when Rooney scored the 2nd goal was no less than that what Rooney and celebrate..if not greater....
We almost lost it though,thanks to that Brazilian - Alfonso Alves - whose 2 goals saw united loose the lead provided to us by who else, but C.Ronaldo in a little over 10 mins, then go behind, and then equalize thanks to Rooney's goal....
All the excitement of a typical season ending match....
Just when we that the final result was going to be inevitable...there's a twist....well it has been the flavour for this time of the season for couple of season's now, hasnt it??
Now, Chelsea are only 3 points adrift, and we still have to play them at Stamford Bridge!!!
I'd bet a fortune on that match being the title decider......If i had a fortune that is ;P ;) :D
And anyhow, thats why the Premier League is one of the toughest leagues in the world to play in.....you just cant predict the final score....
Boro are known for their their strenght and character in big games against big teams.....and that showed amply today....catching United off-gaurd on quite a few occasions..... (Vidic, Where are you??). Van der saar really saved us the blushes thanks to some world-class keeping, oh and Rio is injured too...lets hope that's not too serious.....
Well, It was a 1 point gained i'd say, since we were behind for quite some time....i hope it isn't that influential a result....
The next match is the return leg of the UEFA Champions League against Roma and then we host Arsenal, another huge match for us...


Until those matches, this is nuspeed signing out....
Chaoo and take excellent care......
Joga Bonito.....

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.........

Man Utd V/s Aston Villa - Post Match Thoughts....

Wow!!! What a display by our boys in such a heavy rain!!
It even rained goals!!! Tevez, Ronaldo and yeah...Rooney...yup the poor boys goal-draught has finally ended with a brace...he could actually have scored a fiver but that didnt take the sheen off of the brace scored by Roon...

And the First goal was ABSOLUTELY amazing a cheeky little backheel goal by who else?? Ronaldo.....that makes it 35 goals for the season :O o_O o_0......He just cant stop scoring at the moment..Plus with two assists also it was an all round display by him and all the other reds...we defended well, attacked well......in fact we didnt do a thing wrong..
It was one of the best displays by our lads this season....
And Chelsea and Arsenal had better watch out!!! ;)
Although, there is a bit of a concern as four players have picked slight injures...... three of whow -Michael Carrick, Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand- were substituted and Giggsy left the field with 5 mins to spare...
Lets hope they are back to top form and will play against the huge UEFA CL match against Roma....
Until the next match this is nuspeed signing out......
All the best to all and take care.......
Chaooo............

United V/s Liverpool - Post match thoughts....

Well, then a huge win over rafa's men takes us five points clear of the closest rival...that Chelsea now btw....does that seem familiar in anyway...oh yes we saw that the whole of last year ;-)

Great win for the lads...it gives them a lot of breathing space.
Well.....the first goal was scored by a unlikely player...Wes Brown...well who cares as long as someone is scoring goals and we'r winning....
Ronaldo's second goal really give us relief and some freeness in play...
A rocket of a goal from Nani sealed it for us in the 81st minute...

So the next match is against Aston Villa...
They suffered a shock defeat at home from Sunderland...

Until that match this is nuspeed signing out..........
happy easter to my fellow red devils.... :)

Chaoooooooo....................

United V/s Bolton Wanderers - Post Match Review

So another victory...another precious 3 points and some breathing space at the top of table....
Another brace for C.Ronaldo and a surprise (not so much...) Captaincy for him....He lead the side with much enthusiasm and won the match comfortably..Not the Bolton didn't attack...they did but Tomas Kuszczak fantastically saved some great chances...
Oo la la...didja see the 25/30 yard freekick by Ronaldo his fifth of the season....
Awesome!!! o_O :O
And yes he beat George Best's record of 32 goals by a Reds Mid-Fielder....
Now the premier league records behold...Go Ronaldooooooo!!!!
Oh...I almost forgot...the next match is a big one...its a big weekend for all the top four teams in the table...Will this a title deciding week?? We'll have to wait and watch....

Derby 0 - United 1 : Review

So it wasn't pretty...well that's the case for most of the matches this time of the itinerary...Just the 0-1 victory was enough for the red devils to regain the first place in the league table....
There were some hair-raising moments in the first half for both the teams..with united spurning many chances...including the one by C.Ronaldo which hit the wood(metal?)-work...plus two really fine saves by debutant (for united..) goal-keeper Ben Foster...especially the one-on-one with Miller...fine fine save...
He justified why he has a good reputation in england....
Resolute defending by Derby really frustrated the reds as we enjoyed most of the possession and attacked regularly...only lacking the end result i.e a goal...
Its times like these that your team looks for inspiration...and was provided by the man of the moment Cristiano Ronaldo....
Scoring in the 76th minute he did save us a lot of red-faces especially since they were the last placed team who recently felt the wrath of Chelsea....
Well beautiful or ugly ;)...a win is a win..3 points are 3 points...
Sleep well my fellow red-devils...
Good Night...
Cyaaaaa
Until next time this is nuspeed running down the wings and towards the bed!!!

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

OH and Glory Glory Man United

Fulham v Manchester United Preview

Three points will be enough for Man United to return to the top of the Barclays Premier League if Arsenal lose at home to Aston Villa.

Well Giggsy's not playing this match but the good news is that Vidic is in the squad after being substituted at 70 mins against the rout at Newcastle after a calf strain...

Fulham are in the drop zone so they will come all guns blazing....not that United won't ;) but if we win we'll be joint first if arsenal lose to Aston Villa (oh i hope so...)

We should win this match if we play as we have in the past week...

Glory, Glory Man United!!

The beautiful game....

Teh beautiful game...Soccer for some, Football for others what ever it is called, fans of it got a glow in their eye when they talk about it...
So here i am with this glow in the eyes writing what i feel about football, what i feel when i am playing it and what i feel when i am seeing it...
Some people don't understand the emotions associated with this game...where 22 grown men run behind a small ball, kick the shite out of the poor thing trying to kick it into a goal..But fail to release and/or see the tricks and styles with which each player plays..
Theres an overdrive of adrenaline in my body whenever i talk about football..
this same rush i experience when i am see Manchester United play...in each and every ,match they play....
People and indeed me, are so engrossed in the game that they feel the same feelings the players feel that are on the football pitch...
You get a feeling for every near miss, every save and every attempt on goal by the side your supporting...a feeling that cant be described easily...
You feel your palms sweat when your teams behind at the 90th minute...
You feel high when your team's won the match...no matter how..be it 1-0 or 7-1 :P
Thats what you feel when your seeing it...
Believe me when i say you feel a feeling that altogether on a different level..
All other feelings, tensions and emotions are blocked and i feel a sense of focus and determination...
You get an amazing feeling when you've scored a goal or saved it...
You get a feeling that some of the greatest players soals have descended into your body taking you forward, making you do all those tricks..
I for one can say that i play with extreme dedication...i can prove this by saying that i have a facture on my left foot although i am a right footed player...
Family and indeed friends say that your no going to win the world cup for showing so much dedication...but i say its not like i am in control of my feelings on the football pitch..
Its like i switch to "Football Mode" automatically or something...but whatever it is it feel's great....It is the sole form of sport i play anymore and i play it to shift my mind from everyday tensions and become tension-free... You can say its my source of karma...
I am going to continue playing football no matter what a doctor says or no matter what my parents say..i still have the fracture and the doctor said to take 3/4 weeks off..but unlike me the doctor does'nt get the same rush that i do...Though i did take a week off owing the fact that my left foot was soft plastered...
Until next time..Joga Bonito...
Football FTW!!! Manchester United FTW!!!
