      Emphatic Win For Man Utd.

       

      macheda

      It was another day….. Sir Alex and his Fall back woes continued and so did the magic of Italian striker Macheda that helped Manchester United regain the top spot after Liverpool’s emphatic four goal clean sheet. This happened twice over the couple of week and chelsea are also trying to pull themeselves out of the blues. The tension is mounting at Old Trafford. With very few games left and three games of MU  getting rescheduled and crucial champions league match to do the almost impossible task of winning at porto.

      Talkin about Sunderland match:Inclusion of Berbatov raised few eyebrows and he couldnt do much. Once he was subbed tv clips showed his ankle being treated with Icebags not so good considering the porto match. But the magical run of macheda once again helped MU regain the top spot. In the villa match he was subbed at 72nd minute and scored in ET this time Sir alex subbed him at 74th minute just to the amazement of his side scoring a goal in the next few minutes. Scholes pass to Carrick . Carrick aiming the Far post and Macheda purposely deviated the ball to near post, to which Gordon couldn’t do anything but stand and see. Although we regained the top spot but the lack of center fall back Rio is clearly seen on the field Evans inexperience was clearly prominent in the game. Ben foster misjudgment to the cross resulted in Sunderland goal. Rooney’s brilliance could only help MU take the early lead. Later his brilliant play created only chances after chances surprisingly he started from RM where Ron used to play and his crosses where no doubt but of pin point accuracy.

      The one thing that’s still hurting Sir Alex is to get back to the ruthless form. It must be a disgruntled feeling running through every MU fan. “So close yet so far”.

      But then “No mountain too high, no river too deep”

      Once A Red

      Red Forever……..

      The Journey

      The journey is about to end

      I’ve got nothing to defend

      No serious enemity , no one to offend

      And precisely no close and true friend

      But

      The journey is about to end

      I never wanted to travel

      Having reached so far

      I started with a vision in my eyes

      And ecstasy that no feeling stands at par

      Still unaware of why I took off

      And where exactly to land

      But

      the journey is about to end

      the life tried to teach at its best

      and I permanently unavailable to appear for the big test

      I gained nothing but experience

      The only way to have survived here is ignorance

      The very sequence of mysterious failures to comprehend

      But

      the journey is about to end

      there were people I really liked

      there were people I wanted to be liked from

      the people impressed and I admired them

      the people lead well and I followed them

      perhaps I commited some big mistakes

      which they feel might take more then my lifetime to mend

      the time is short

      and

      the journey is about to end

      the last couple of months

      for which I’ve been waiting for like eternity

      The ocean of emotions

      The lack of expressions

      The fears of rejection

      So much to be accomplished

      And

      The very journey is about to end………………………………………

      From My Friend Avis Blog :)

      However if you take a look at South American World Cup Qualifiers: likes of Messi scoring just 3 goals of 12 games and Kaka scoring 4 goals of 9 matches Robinho scoring 3 goals of 12 games Ronaldinho scoring just 1 goal of 8 games shows they are not intrested in their national duties and want to play for clubs giving large bucks.

      Match Pack: Aston Villa

      3829 VS 3768 LIVE ON ESPN ASIA PACIFIC

      KICKOFF SUPER SUNDAY, APRIL 5  LIVE FROM OLD TRAFFORD @ 2025 hrs

      Both teams had so for terrible form in past few games and atleast one team will end the draught of win

      Form guide: Aston Villa visit Old Trafford in terrible form having lost their last three league games. A five-goal punch at the hands of Liverpool saw Martin O’Neill’s side drop out of the top four; prior to that game, Villa suffered a home defeat to the in-form spurs and lost to rivals City on their previous trip to Manchester. The Villas' only win in the last six games was back on 7 Feb when they beat Rovers 2-0. Meanwhile, the Red devils are determined to recover from successive defeats against Liverpool and Fulham.

      ASTON VILLA: W L D L L L

      4/18 points in last six games

      MAN. UTD.: W W W W L L

      12/18 points in last six games

      Ins and Outs:

      Aston Villa

      Inclusion:Wilfred Bouma after 8 months lay off

      Exclusion:Heskey injured in his national match in WC Qualifier against Ukraine and captain laursen also unavailble.

      Manchester United

      Inclusion: Gary Neville after a long time

      Exclusion:Utd Woes Continue with injured Berbatov, Anderson and Red Carded Rooney, Vidic and Scholes.

       

      Star men: Villa’s  Agbonlahor's pace could pose a few problems against a relatively weak united defence. Ashley Young has also been in great form for Aston Villa this season and he will be eager to test a United defence missing a possible Player of the Year in Vidic.

      Rivals watch: Newcastle v Chelsea, Arsenal v Man City (both Saturday 20:30 IST), Fulham v Liverpool (Saturday 23:00 IST).
