Senyum jek hari ni. Smalam MU nailed down Chel$ki. Nice 1st half game. We countered attacked from every inches of the pitch. We didn’t give any hope for Sheva to unleashed his fierce shot. I thot we deserved to win.

Though as usual some bitter opponent supporters mourned about everything, from big mouth Mourinho exit to Mike Dean’s harshed treatment towards their players. Well, it’s payback time.

I must say most of the tackles came from the Blues are ‘career-threatening’. Obi ‘dun-want-to-be-a-Devil’, was one of the player that had the reputation. Not that Scholesy is better but as far as last nite game, Scholesy behaved!

Perhaps that is why Fergie once scout for this guy, for he has the ability of succeeding Keano - as the hard man, but his tackles can be considered dangerous sometimes. Last season when MU play @ Stamford Bridge he was substituted after a booking for his reckless tackle. Enuff is enuff for the ref perhaps, there goes the red card.

I like the atmosphere @ OT last nite. The crowd were on their feet singing and perhaps with the help of ‘Anti-Roman’ and ‘Bring back the ‘Special One” campaign, OT was buzzing.

Cech was call into action as early as 2nd minute. Rooney recieved the ball, cut inside Ben Haim and curled it to the top of the net, only for the stretching Cech to block it. We had few chances, 1 of it came from Giggsy, he shud’ve head instead of kicking the ball, and Vida’s header which went str8 to Cech arm.

We were in control and after the sent off of Obi, even the defenders join the attack. The goal came courtesy of Tevez diving header. His first goal in Manchester United colour. Again, Chel$ki questioned the ref for not ending the 1st half game as the goal was over the extra time added. Some fans mentioned, the announcer announced as ‘There will be a minimum of 2 minutes of added time’.

I dun hear that though. Anyhow, I think the time given was a blessing. But the goal was superb! We slow down the tempo in the 2nd half which I dun fancy. Giggsy almost add up to the score line but struck the ball wide. Rooney plak dengan mulutnye yg tak reti nak tutup tu, was very2 lucky not to be sent off. Tah hape2 tah Rooney ni!

Then, Ronaldo was fouled from behind. I cud see Joe Cole’s boot struck Ronnie’s ankle. Ouch! Sakit dol! I knew how it feel. Erghh.. Mike Dean flashed a yellow card and there goes Fergie running to the line and shouted ‘That was bl**dy f*cking red card, ref’. Garang betol uncle Fergie.

But it was true! That kind of tackle cud easily end someone career. The fans seated behind the opponent bench joined Fergie after Joe Cole was substituted. I cud see all of them standing and abused him. I think he deserved it. He got away unpunished, when he fouled Evra in the penalty box. What goes around comes around mate!

MU finally put the result beyond doubt after Saha was gifted a penalty. I agreed it was harshed and Saha make a meal of it. But Ben Haim did touched Saha. So it cancel out the penalty shout earlier. He scored from the penalty spot.

We’re climbing slowly. Hopefully, we’ll win and score more goals. Come on MU!

Yes! Berbaloi aku bangun pagi2 tadi. Not a gr8 game again but we won with neat setpiece. Well, any away game is not easy nowadays. The pitch was terrible yesterday. Tercabut2 rumbutnye. Few times I saw the ball bumped into those grasses yg tercabut.

If the keeper got it wrong, the ball can easily end up at the back off the net. Seriously, I love the back 4 today. Well, not that they didn’t make silly mistake but they shut the opponent and limit their tries outside of the box.

The 1st half nampak normal aje. Sporting looks more threatening than MU. Thanks to Van Der Saar stretching long hand, he palmed away a curling shot from outside the box. Lambat sket jek sure the opponent score.

MU however shud be in front if only Giggsy put a bullet header instead of glancing the crossed to the near post. None of the opponent defender spot his run from centre midfield. See, he looks better in midfield then slotting him as an emergency striker.

The goal finally came courtesy of Ronaldo diving header. I haven’t seen any forward players doing that since Dwight Yorke. Only Vida has the courage to dive in any corner kicks. It was a good move. We had few in fact after Saha came in but he squandered few chances.

I suspect the opponent midfielders loose it as they tried to get back into the game. But too bad we squadered those chances. Kalau tak nampak la besar sket goal difference tu. But hey, thank God. Bukan senang nak menang away games remember?

Next will be Chel$ki. Hopefully we’ll win and score more goals. And hopefully Hargreaves will be available. Come on MU!

"Are u feeling sick today my fren?" My curious officemate asked me. I gave him the ‘what?’ look and argghh.. understood. "TLP explained to him please." I asked another mate to do the job. Mane tak dia curious. Arini aku makan di siang hari. TLP pon explained la dekat mamat ni. "Ooo.. u can’t fast when ur having ‘that’?"

"NO". I gave him that str8 look to prevent him from pouring me with all kind of questions. Bukan tak mo explain. But the nearer he came to me, the louder he speaks, satu Malaya tau aku x pose arini. Chis!

So last week MU won. 1-0. 3 times in a row. We really grind the result. Main mmg terok la. Mcm tgk Malaysia main pon ade. Passing is so-so. But not the killer passes nor the fast lightning run. Everyone looks cautious. Tatau la nape. Really made me wonder.

But a lot had been said abt the International break as the cause of fatigue, bla..bla..bla.. No excuses mates. We’re damn lucky to win and climb up the EPL table. Hopefully, we’ll geared up and work harder.

Chel$ki next week remember? But b4 that, the team will travel to Portugal to face Ronaldo and Nani’s former club - Sporting. I dun think this is easy either. Last season we were not having the best of results when playing away games. If I am not mistaken just 1 win away @ Benfica. Tu pon 1-0.

So mates, please please, win this for the fans. I’ll wake up and support u guys so please show me the money.. eh, show me the results! Hopefully Hargreaves is available. Aku rimas la tgk si Carrick tu. Eeee…

Come MU! Keep winning and scoring more goals!

to all Muslims. How time flies. It’s Ramadhan again. How’s dat?

No football last week. I mean there are loads of Euro qualifying game but not EPL match. Not that I dun watch Euro games, just that this is still you know, qualifying round. Mcm malas plak nak tgk.

Apart from football, I had my eyes on tennis and rugby. My, did u guys watched Justine vs Venus? Damn! The match was so entertaining. Even the commentator commented "This is like watching Nadal and Federer" Super!

Rugby? Ahh.. the all time favourite All Black quashed Italy with great penetration, speed and high quality performance from all around the pitch. *Did they called the rugby ‘pitch’, pitch?* Seriously, I knew nuts about the rules. I dun even recalled position of each players. All I knew ade position called ‘Fly Half’. Tatau la kenapa terbang separuh. I dunno!

But who cares? I cheered everytime the boys in Black got the ball and nutmeg their opponent. Nice! Kesian Italy. But seriously, how come there’s no Nesta, Maldini, Zambrotta or shud I say the-whole-lot-Italian-football-team ‘look’ in Italian rugby team? Dari mane they all ni sumer dtg ek? Beza sungguh!

When’s their next match? Hopefully tak clash la ngan MU. Coz I wanna see their opening-ritual. Kalau mase muda2 dulu b4 wat performance kan kite baca doa. Ape namanye tu? Err.. bukak-gelanggang ek? All Blacks will start with Hakka. Joy to watch!

Hoping for the best for both teams, MU and All Blacks. Come on MU!
