Man Utd 1 Birmingham 1

14 goal and counting..
Manchester United's return to the top of the Premier League after last night's 1-1 draw at Birmingham City was a cause of resentment more than delight. They lead on goal difference over Manchester City, with two games in hand, because of an equaliser by Birmingham's Lee Bowyer in the 89th minute. Sir Alex Ferguson expressed disbelief as much as anger over the decision by the referee, Lee Mason.
The controversy surrounded a challenge by the Birmingham substitute Nikola Zigic on Rio Ferdinand before the ball broke for Bowyer to score. "It was handball and a foul on the centre-half," the United manager said. "He went straight through him. If the referee can't see that what chance have you got? In a game of that importance you expect to have a referee who can see that. I have no complaints with my team. They fought hard, they worked hard after a two-day rest. They ran their socks off to get a result and it's hard on them."
His opposite number tacitly conceded that a lapse by the officials had spared his side. "We got a bit of luck," Alex McLeish said, "but with all the bad luck we've had I think we deserved it." He also suggested that Zigic's handling of the ball was inadvertent.
United still have just one away win in the league this season, at Stoke City, in October. "I think it's terribly harsh," Ferguson said. "We outplayed them. We didn't deserve that [equaliser]. It's a difficult place to come to. Everyone who comes here has a difficult game.
"We were the better team and maybe should have finished them off after we went 1-0 up. A number of times we counterattacked against them and just needed a bit more care in our finishing pass or finishing shot." (continues..)

Stil UNBEATEN and TOP of the league coming new year!! Walaupun MU hanya mampu draw 1-1 hasil gol penyamaan kontroversi dari Lee Bowyer..aku rasa ada 2 perkara positif yg kita ambil dari game semalam!! Firstly..BerbaTOP continues his fine form and scores another goal making his tally to 14 EPL goal up to date and tinggal 11 goal je lagi utk mencapar sasaran 25 goal yg Sir Alex tetapkan utk dia musim ni!! And yg kedua,of course la MU stil UNBEATEN and masuk tahun baru ni TOP of the table..so its not bad day at all for us Man Utd fans in my opinion!! So guyz..keep your faith and B.E.L.I.E.V.E!! GGMU...

In Your Dream McLeish..!!

AlexMcLeish 2009 pre-season cropped.jpg
Another SAF ex-player..
Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish admits he's impressed by next opponents Manchester United.
McLeish was at Old Trafford on Boxing Day to watch Sir Alex Ferguson's side maintain their unbeaten Premier League record this season with a win over Sunderland.
"They were pretty impressive," he said.
"Someday, Man United will lose a game, and I'm hoping and believing it's us that can do that.
"We're at St Andrew's, and I think we have to believe.
"We've upset the big teams before, and it would be nice if we can do that again.
"We've heard opposition managers of those teams say it's a difficult place to come to and we want United to be saying that after the game."

So guyz..jangan lupa game malam ni kul 4 pagi yek di saluran 812 ASTRO!! GGMU..

Man Utd 2 Sunderland 0..

Even after this, Sir Alex Ferguson might wonder if his players really do have the cojones to win this season’s title race.
He challenged them to demonstrate that they do ahead of this encounter, and they responded by teasing him with a perfectly competent, yet strangely tentative display.
Sure, they were terrific at times, performing with fluency and finesse and proving far too strong for a Sunderland team that struggled in the absence of seven players.
But that finesse too often lacked a finishing touch and Ferguson is sure to demand more.
The manager wants to see that they have ‘balls’, and yesterday at Old Trafford they seemed a little reluctant to show him. ‘They put the tools away in the second half,’ said Ferguson. ‘They were very economical, playing in third gear.’
It would help, of course, if Wayne Rooney could just remember how to score in open play.
Heading for a win: Bulgarian striker Berbatov gives United the 
perfect start with an early opener at Old Trafford
Heading for a win: Bulgarian striker Berbatov gives United the perfect start with an early opener at Old Trafford
Dimitar Berbatov has now struck 13 times in 13 Barclays Premier League starts this season after two more here. But Rooney still has to think back to March since scoring from anywhere other than the penalty spot for Manchester United and this would have been a source of yet more frustration.
As Ferguson quite rightly pointed out, Rooney is at least playing well and the manner in which he combined with Berbatov is becoming a joy to watch.
His lofted delivery for Berbatov’s opening goal was fantastic and it was almost touching to see the Bulgarian doing his hardest to repay the favour. There is a mutual respect there that Ferguson could certainly liken to Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole..(continue)

Lambat sikit aku nak post result semalam..kalau nak citer memang panjang la sebab musabab aku lambat post ni!! Ok la..aku pendekkan!! Semalam tengok game aku gi join MV dgn budak MUFC (M) kat Shah Alam..balik kul 2 pagi baru tidoq!! Pagi tadi on the way gi keje..moto aku buat hal and sekarang tersadai kat kedai motor.

GGMU ..(full report read here!!)

17 Games and Counting...!!

Steve Bruce is still waiting for his first victory over Sir Alex Ferguson in 17 games and the Sunderland manager admitted yesterday, following his side's 2-0 defeat, that he was "naïve" to pick such an open, attacking team at Old Trafford.
Bruce was without seven first-team players for the game against Manchester United and said that he had little choice but to pick a side with two wingers and two strikers. "Maybe I was a bit naïve to think we could do it but to be fair I didn't have much choice," he said.
"We were so open with two out-and-out wide players and two out-and-out attackers but with the sickness and injuries in the squad there was not much we could do about. When we beat Chelsea [at Stamford Bridge] we had a full team. That doesn't take away from the lads who were playing but we felt we were well beaten."
Bruce, whose team host Blackpool tomorrow, will have the United loan signing Danny Welbeck (ineligible yesterday) and Lee Cattermole back from suspension as well as Kieran Richardson and Titus Bramble in contention. Yesterday he was forced into playing Christian Riveros in midfield and Bolo Zenden and Steed Malbranque on the wing.
On United's title prospects, Bruce said that he expected Ferguson's team to get even better in the new year. "They have been first or second for the last six years," he said. "They have been there or thereabouts and usually they get better from now on in..(continue)

Kesian Steve Bruce...ekeke!! Dah 17 kali nak kalahkan team MENTOR dia tapi tak berjaya gak...nak wat camane kan..Sir Alex memang POWER!! Takpelah Brucey..try next time yek!!

Lass To Replace Harg..??!!

Lassana Diarra..
Sir Alex Ferguson is planning a January raid to bring in Real Madrid defensive midfielder Lassana Diarra. The French international has stated his intention to leave the Bernabeu at the earliest available opportunity and the Manchester United boss is looking to add more steel to the centre of his midfield and hopes to land the want-away star on a cut price deal.Earlier this month Diarra spoke out about his situation at Real Madrid
‘I’m at Real Madrid and I have a contract. Currently I am thinking only of the next game, but I don’t know if I will remain here. I previously said I would assess my situation in January.’
Jose Mourinho appears to see Diarra as little more than a bench warmer and the 25 year old has rarely been on the Real Madrid boss’s starting eleven team sheet and after two and a half difficult seasons at the La Liga giants the former Portsmouth, Chelsea and Arsenal man is ready to quit the club.The good relationship between the two manager’s could help to resolve the long running problems between the two clubs that relate to a number of Man United stars leaving the Premier League side for a move to Madrid and Mourinho is looking to cut his massive squad in order to trim costs.
Some sources believe pint sized battler could be available for around £12m a fee that Ferguson will be happy to pay given the paucity of out and out defensive midfield options he has at the club given the long term injury concerns over Owen Hargreaves.
-rumors from caughtoffside.com
Lassana Diarra?? Ex-Arsenal,Chelsea and Portmouth and skrg main utk Real Madrid bakal ganti Owen Hargreaves?? Korang setuju tak?? Aku rasa mamat ni ok la and ada potensi utk main as holding midfielder kat Man Utd..tapi macam biasa ni hanya rumor and kiter tunggu jer apa yg Sir Alex akan buat!! January transfer windows is around the corner already..takdela curious terlalu lama utk tau player mana yg bakal menyarung jersi Man Utd kan!!
Semalam aku tengok kat tv and ada sedikit kecewa bila tau one of Man Utd target si Ibrahim Affaley dah sign kontrak dengan Barca..nak buat camane,yg lepas tu lepas la kan!! Anyhow..Man Utd top of the league on Christmas and that a good thing!! And lastly,not to forget to all Man Utd fans..i just want to wish u all... MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR....GGMU!!

Gillespie Out Of The Game...Again!!

Still hungry: Keith Gillespie wants to continue his rollercoaster career
Tengah memikirkan masa depan...

Game over. The words flashed fluorescent across the quiz machine screen as Keith Gillespie pondered ruefully just what it was that Al Oerter was good at. It was knowledge a stone's throw away. Gillespie sat down, sipped his lager shandy and pondered what next. Outside, the stubborn snow confirmed a sense of pause. 
This was last Wednesday in a bar in Hartlepool and it would emerge later that 'what next' for Gillespie would be a packed bag and a trip to the airport, back to Northern Ireland to see his wife and young daughters.
The 35-year-old, whose career began in a blaze of headlines at Manchester United half a lifetime ago, was not going to have his month-long trial at non-League Darlington extended. Game over. For a few moments it may have felt like that for the Northern Irish winger.
All-stars: Gillespie (bottom row, third right) in the 1992 Manchester United youth team that included David Beckham, Gary Neville, Nicky Butt, Robbie Savage and Paul Scholes
Those days...funny but historical!!

In October, HM Revenue & Customs declared Gillespie bankrupt and to those who recall him for things like losing £47,000 in an afternoon on the horses, that will have come as no surprise. It is, Gillespie said, a frequent question: 'How much?' As in, how much have you lost over time on beaten horses, dogs, whatever. 
He has a quiz-regular's memory but does not know. But it can be measured in hundreds of thousands. That is part of why Gillespie arrived in Darlington. But now here he was, a man who once terrorised Barcelona in the Champions League, being gently released after three games, the last in front of 477 spectators in the FA Trophy. 
Self pity might have been expected to grip but there is none of that. Nor, he said, are there bookmakers accounts now. 'In the long run I wised up. Anyone who gambles has a bit of foolishness within them. I lost the money first time around and I carried on. But I don't want to be remembered for gambling. I've had good clubs and I played 86 times for Northern Ireland. To play once is an honour.' (continued)

AGAIN....!! Kesian pun ada aku tengok si Gillespie ni..tapi nak buat camane memang dah nasib dia kot!! Terbaru..kontrak sebulan dia dgn Darlington tak diperbaharui so 'TANAM ANGGUR' lagi la jawabnyer!! Siapa sangka..member2 zaman budak2 dulu Beckham,Scholes,Neville bersaudara,Giggsy n Butt tak lupa si Savage semuanyer masih bermain bolasepak and bole kira hidup diorg semua SENANG!! TAPI nasib si Gillespie ni lak terkapai-kapai..maybe salah dia sendiri kot,siapa suruh main judi..kan merana diri!! Apa2 pun..i just wanna wish to u good luck and hope u and your family will have a brighter future ahead..GGMU!!

Could Ronaldinho Be Like Larsson..??!!

Sir Alex Ferguson loves to pull a rabbit out of the hat in the transfer market and two iconic figures could provide him with another potential for a mid-season masterstroke.

In the 2007 January transfer window the United boss acted on impulse and an encouraging tip-off from his chief scout that Henrik Larsson might be tempted by a loan move to the Reds.

United were in need of a winter pick-me-up and the legendary Swedish striker made the temporary switch from Helsingborg.

Larsson scored on his debut to win an FA Cup third round tie against Aston Villa, scored as a sub in a 4-0 league win against Watford and bagged the winner against Lille in a Champions League last 16 second leg tie.

Three goals in 13 appearances are the simple black and white stats of Larsson’s impact. But his stamp on the dressing room lifted the Reds.

Even established stalwart figures among the United camp were buoyed by his arrival.

In his final match at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, the Reds dressing room stood to a man to applaud the striker when he came off the field at the Riverside.

It was a touching and spontaneous gesture that rubber-stamped Ferguson’s masterstroke and it paid dividends as United went on from that mid-term fillip to win back the Premier League crown from Chelsea.

With permanent big name imports unlikely this transfer window, may the United manager would be tempted to do ‘a Larsson’ again to bolster the table-topping Reds?

Aku tertarik bila baca artikel ni..memang betol apa yg dikatakan penulis,time tahun 2007 tu Sir Alex sign Henrik Larsson on loan memang sesuatu yg diluar dugaan!! Pada mulanyer aku memang tak percaya and tak setuju dgn Sir Alex..kenapa nak sign striker tua?? Tapi macam biasa..Sir Alex tau apa yg dia lakukan and Larsson turn out to be a great additional to Man Utd squad at that time!! Kali ni rumors mengatakan Sir Alex berminat utk dapatkan khidmat Ronaldinho..tak tau la kabar angin ni betol atau tak tapi kite tak tau apa yg dipikirkan oleh Sir Alex..so we just wait n see when the January transfer windows open!! Who will be in and out of Man Utd squad..what ever happen, in SAF i trust!! ekekeke...GGMU!! For full story read here..

Another Midfielder Rumored To United...Modric!!!

Ada terLuka ke Modric?? Sampai ternganga...ekekeke
Manchester United will lure Tottenham playmaker Luka Modric in the summer and Sir Alex Ferguson believes he will win the race for the Croat who he believes will help give his Old Trafford side the added creativity in his midfield which he believes is lacking.
Harry Redknapp will fight tooth and nail to keep the 25 year old at White Hart Lane but even if the north London side manages to cement another top four finish the former Dinamo Zagreb man will find it hard to resist the temptation of joining a side who can fight for significant silverware.
It would take a bid in the region of £30m to land the pint sized adaptable midfielder and Ferguson is thought to have placed Modric at the head of his summer wish-list and may also be willing to offer a Man United player as part of any deal to land the Spurs man. The likes of experienced campaigners Wes Brown, Michael Carrick or youngsters Anderson, Darron Gibson and Tom Cleverley could be offered to sweeten the deal.
Whilst Tottenham’s progress under Harry Redknapp has been nothing short of astounding Ferguson will still feel that the gravitas of a move to arguably one of the biggest clubs on the planet will be too much of a pull for the Croatian international to ignore.
Now in his third season since moving to White Hart Lane for £16.5m , Modric has been a phenomenal success and is now thought to be wanted by a number of Europe’s elite and Redknapp will find it hard to fend off interest in his services next summer.

Rumor yg mungkin ramai peminat MU nak dengar..Luka Modric ke United!! Yerla..before this si Bastian dah terlepas..so United  kena la cari creative midfielder utk ganti Scholsey kan ??!! Modric memang la ok..mmg banyak kali aku dah dengar rumor pasal Modric nak ke Man Utd ni. BUT personally la kan..kalau sebelum ni aku sokong la kalau Modric nak ke Man Utd, tapi lani dgn performance Ando yg tengah ngeTOP..better we give him one more season to establish himself!! I think he can replace Scholsey..right?? Apapun..mcm biasa..this is all just rumor utk menyedapkan hari2 kiter...ekeke!! GGMU to all.. 

BerbaTOP Rendah Diri...!!

Rendah diri tu bagus...:p
MANCHESTER UNITED striker Dimitar Berbatov told reporters to stop voting for him after being named Bulgaria’s Footballer of the Year for a seventh time yesterday. “I prefer to see some of the younger lads winning the award,” the 29-year-old said after coming top in the poll of sports journalists. “Please, don’t vote for me anymore.”
Bulgaria’s all-time leading scorer, with 48 goals, quit the national team in May citing fatigue and family commitments. Last month, he became only the fourth player to score five times in one Premier League match when he helped destroy Blackburn Rovers in a 7-1 win. Berbatov expects to spend the rest of his career at United. “I fought to have a chance to play for United and now I can only go down if I leave,” he said. “Why I should do this? It would be better to retire.”
Gaziantepspor striker Ivelin Popov and Twente Enschede goalkeeper Nikolay Mihaylov came second and third in the poll.
Meanwhile, Gary Speed has already spoken to Ryan Giggs about involving the Manchester United great in the new Wales coaching set-up. Speed was appointed as John Toshack’s successor in the Wales hotseat last week and he is now in the process of forming his back-room team...(continue)
