Heinze Desperate For His Future?
Wednesday, February 6, 2008

Heinze and Liverpool have called the help of the Premier League to resolve the move of the Argentinian player to the Merseyside club. The hearing is finding place on August, 20th, some days before the transfer window closes. But as if all this wasn’t negative enough yet, Heinze has seen the need to publicly hit out at SAF and ManU.


I want a quick solution. My lawyers have told me a meeting with the Premier League is possible to advance the matter next week…

…The club had guaranteed my transfer if a good offer came in and nobody specified anything about the club whether it be a foreign team or Liverpool.

…I am a total professional and I have always behaved as such. Now I just ask that they respect me and accept what I was promised.

It just amazes me, that a guy who is otherwise that involved in his style, can become this desperate. Desperate for a move to just another bench. Honestly, if Heinze with his actual performance moves to the Merseyside, he certainly IS NOT going to start many games. There is no way that he’ll get the nod on Riise, who has been one of the most important players for Liverpool over the last years now.

Fantasy Footie And Some John Terry Fun

Now the Prem has well started, it’s time to have a first look at our Fantasy Footie League.
We have 32 participants, competing for the $500 prize, so far. Of course it’s never too late to join in and much can change quickly in this game.

After 6 gameweeks, Funky Toon F.C. and Riverdale United have taken a clear early lead, and Funky Toon F.C. could still score points today when Newcastle tries to add another victory to their not too bad balance this year. After the jump, at the end of the entry, a screenshot of the Top #20 so far.

With the Champions League starting tomorrow, of course we also launch another league, for the UCL only. ((only for fun this time!))
Join this league at the official official UEFA site and after you have signed up and created your team, use the code

111162-18831

to join this league.

And now to the funnier parts. John Terry.

Remember when John Terry said some weeks ago that ManUtd already faced an uphill battle after only some games?

I would have expected United to have started a bit better but a lot of clubs have bought really well over the summer. Five points is a hell of a gap to have this early on.
…
It’s going to be difficult for United.

Funny (and good) thing in sports is that things can change fast. We are only two games in the season further, and already Mr. Terry needs to be corrected.

Sorry, Mr. Terry, but we are actually standing above you, with the same number of points, but a better goal difference.

And with Sunday’s upcoming clash against Chelsea F.C., at OT, things can only get better for us, as it seems we finally found our winning spirit back and I bet that Wednesday’s Champions League game the prove of this will be. I probably will be live-reporting the game again.

A night to be remembered

A heavy night of bookings and tension we still dont forget our babes-busby babes who lost their immortal souls in the Munich plane crash.

The babes were those selected players of Busby who had almost conquered every title in every scenario winning with any fears to all extend.This was the 50th aniverssarey of Munich crash and to miss this one would be our worst sins.

Well apart from that United had a staggering 7 bookings of Game with few no so sure to be given.We are surely going to be fine by FA for this one.Wayne Rooney is going to miss his Derby match against City after he crosses 5 bookings and he also has to pay a heavy fine.

I am still not pleased with the last night and i hope it washes out of our brains quickly.

Do we need Manucho for now ?

After last match against Spurs United looked pretty shitty and was struggling at forwards.This season looking with the stats and scores none of the strikers has succeed in scoring consistent goals expect for Tevez.Rooney hasn’t been in his best touches and Saha hardly playing this season it looks as if we are going to end this season with just one striker.

With our this season’s only buy Manucho he moved to Greek club Greek club Panathinaikos after Fergie confirmed his loan move.SAF thinks that he still needs time to settle few things and till then Manucho can play at Greece and return with the new season.Well after watching the Spursy match i wasn’t at all amused to see our lads for not scoring.With droughts up-front and having hardly any strikers it was ought to happen.Ronaldo was moved for this reason in center and Rooney aside but that too didn’t help us out.This also made Ronaldo invisible as that wasn’t his natural position. Apart from this Saha is too injured(or dunno what) is out this season and i doubt his return will go well with us. With times like this was it feasible to give up Manucho and think to get him started next season?I did watch the African cup of Nations .For many reasons i think they have improved almost in every field and are going to stand as a strong contenders in WC in next coming years.Apart from this Manucho has been brilliant.Almost scoring for every match he is building a reputation of a target man.

Lets hope that United hang on till end of this year with two strikers and Ronaldo keeps on scores coming.

Manchester United - Tottenham (Live)
Monday, February 4, 2008

My prediction has already gone wrong for now and i still dont know how bad it will go.Tottenham are right now 2 of the better teams.With fair amount of chances and one goal from Berbatov(with little help of Lennon and Jenas’s Left hand).

We have already recieved three yellow cards- Ronaldo,Van De Sar and Brown.Well still hoping to recover.

I will keep you informed for further actions here.

PS: United levels the game after Tevez scores on 93 minute.How about that.Sure we lost the point but it was all worth.I have a lot to talk on this one.

Enjoy.

Foster Comeback Delayed Until March
Friday, February 1, 2008

The promising young keeper damaged his knee in the summer and despite undergoing corrective surgery in June, he is still a ways away from being available as an alternative for first-choice keeper Edwin Van Der Sar.

“It’s going to take time with Ben,” admitted Ferguson. “The prognosis of the specialist is that we should see him back in March.

“It’s difficult for him but you have to handle it. It will definitely add to his experience.”
No one will be more frustrated at the slow rate of recovery than Foster, 24, who is yet to play a single game for United since returning from his two-year loan at Watford.

The latest news from the infirmary concerning team skipper Gary Neville is considerably better, however, and the defensive veteran could be back in action as early as next week after a grueling ten months on the sidelines.

“Gary will play in the reserves against Everton on Wednesday,” Ferguson added.

“After that, we’ll have a clearer idea of what to do in the next few games, including the one in Saudi.”

Manchester United have a friendly lined up against Saudi powerhouse Al Hilal in Riyadh on 21st January.
