| Eye to Eye Meeting Between Fergie and Ronaldo |
| 2008-07-18 02:11:00 |
Apparently, according to RTP, sir Alex Ferguson had a secret eye to eye meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo at Lisbon, Portugal.Previously, it was believed that Fergie would concentrate himself in England in the quest of signing one Dimitar Berbatov. But, Fergie thought that it was more important to fight to keep the best player in the world to stay at Old Trafford, and to meet him personally in Portugal.This is the second time that Fergie had a personal meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo to persuade him to stay with the club. The first one was when Ronaldo had an incident with Wayne Rooney in the WC and was on the brink to sign for Real Madrid. I hope Fergie "persuasiveness" will again manage to keep Ronaldo at Old Trafford.Noone...

Dimitar Berbatov's agent, Emil Danchev, confirms Manchester United's interest in signing his client.

| Bye-bye Charlie.... |
| 2008-07-10 08:44:00 |
Well, thanks for everything you have done for us Charlie. Well, you know, we kinda have this love and hate relationship with Charlie throughout the years. His failures at Real Madrid makes the fans question his real quality in co-managing a team upon his return to OT for a second stint.Nobody can really tell what Charlie actually bring to the table for Manchester United, it seems like all of our glory in the last couple of seasons were due to some excellent management from sir Alex mostly and the brilliance of our young players.But one thing is for sure, Charlie is said to play an important role in keeping our most important asset : Cristiano Ronaldo in Old Trafford's ground. Charlie is said to have a bit more influence on the kid than most of us could ever expected.As I said before, Manch...

| Sepp Blatter Should Just Shut The F*ck Up.... |
| 2008-07-10 03:12:00 |
Sepp Blatter is said to be the "Man with 50 ideas a day, and 51 of them is bad". Look, if people say that about the most powerful man in the world's biggest sports organization, then the reasonable thing to do for the man in question is to prove people wrong....Yet, Blatter never stop learning... to make more mistakes and to make himself to look more stupid.Anybody remember about his comments about women soccer ? He once said that women soccer player should wear tighter jerseys to make the sports more appealing to men... That alone already showed what kind of a twisted, perverted, sexist mind that he has...But what about when Cameroon men's team used the Puma tight jersey design for the African Cup? Blatter insisted that Cameroon should be banned from the tourney.... yeah all for just a je...

| Cantona as Coaching Staffs ? |
| 2008-07-06 22:56:00 |
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about Eric's plan to return as a manager for Manchester United replacing Alex Ferguson sometime in the future.Well, it looks like we don't have to wait very long for the King's return to Old Trafford.According to one of his close friend to the Sunday Express, Eric is now considering a move back to Old Trafford to become one of the coaching staffs for Manchester United."Eric is very interested in a chance to become one of the coaching staffs at Old Trafford", the man said.Coincidentally this emerges as Carlos Queiroz is said to leave for the Portugal job. If Queiroz does leave, then this will leave a spot in the assistant manager spot, something that I think any Manchester United fan will agree will be most fit to be filled w...

| 2008-07-06 22:44:00 |
Ever since the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid a couple of seasons ago, Manchester United haven't been able to find a one-touch lethal striker like the legendary dutch-man.Over the last couple of seasons, Manchester United, along with several other English clubs, have been linked with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. A young Dutch goalscorer whose playing style resembles RvN a lot.But the rumors never came true for Manchester United until now. It was all because the young Dutch own statement that he wishes to gain more experience in the Dutch League before making it to the top English Premier League.But now, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar says that he is ready. So far he and Ajax don't meet eye to eye regarding his...

The new Manchester United third jersey has just been revealed at Nike's official site. It comes in dark blue, some sweet details are added to the kit.

Isn't it the colour of Chelsea ?", well probably in order to celebrate our 50th year European Glory is the best reason. We won our first European Cup in dark blue jersey against Benfica 50 years ago, and hopefully this jersey will also ins...

| 2008-06-25 07:32:00 |
Carlos Queiroz, Manchester United's Assistant Manager, has once again state the desire for Cristiano Ronaldo to change his opinion on moving to Real Madrid. "Manchester United is a very special football club." said Queiroz to the Portuguese radio station, Renascenca.
"Because of that fact, we know how to give Cristiano complete affections and attention. However, by keeping our mouth shut at this moment, is the most sensible action in the heat of the moment, so that we do not aid those (Real Madrid) whose interests are difficult to identify.
This is the first time Queiroz speaks about the transfer saga since Ronaldo was rumored of wanting to leave Old Trafford. Ronaldo also said he would be back to Manchester for a small operation on his ankle but instead was leaving on a holiday.

| Euro 2008 Quarter Finals Review |
| 2008-06-23 07:12:00 |
Euro 2008 tournament has finished its Quarter Finals match ups, some of the results has been predicted, but most certainly, it was a brilliant Quarter Final with lots of exciting matches, surprising results, and really delivers the official slogan "Expect Emotions".
Germany has proven to the world that to never write them off. They have always been a tournament specialist. Like in 1996 when they won the European Cup for the last time, Germany are slowly but surely play better and better football. Portugal, despite having the World's best player in their team, just doesn't have the mental toughness that Germany have for the most important matches.
Turkey VS Croatia was one of the craziest and definitely one of the best football match ever. Turkey is one tough dog-fighting team. They never gave up. If you think their comeback from 2-0 down against the Czech was crazy, check out of how they equalized at the very last second of the extra time against Croatia. It was a vital goal, as it b...
