Arsenal 3-1 Portsmouth


Arsenal taking over Portsmouth with a 3-1 win at home.

Gunners taking Pompey right from start with a healthy lead for 2 goals coming under first half.Firsdt goal coming from Penalty scored by Adebayour on 8 minutes and second one by Fabregas on 35 minutes.A very clumsy defense was seen yesterday by Portsmouth which were seen after failed attempts to clear the ball from box.Next half had a bizzare goal for Kanu which got hopes to Pompey.But Rosicky striking the third made all done for Wenger's men.On 60th minute Arsenal were reduced to 10 men after P.Senderos saw a red card for an awkward foul on Kanu.Though still 40 minutes left on clock Arsenal managed to hold Portsmouth to end match for a 3-1 scoreline.
This the young boys of Wenger are looking for thirsty to win are strong around the table.They don't want to fall out in early races where clubs like United and Chelsea are falling.Players like Fabregas and Van Persie have evolved into more mature players and are capable for handling team with star players out of team.May be all of you wont agree with me but thats what United needs to Learn.Try making heavy goal wins without star players.Wenger is being working hard for the team and i appreciate such efforts. Job done for Arsenal.

United Legend 's Biography: Determined


United legend and star Footballer Norman Whiteside has published is own Autobiography book :Determined a few days back.I have seen this player playing and i bet he looks just similar to Rooney.Many footballers have past criticed that such footballers book doesnt have anything to say but Whiteside was different from others.I tell you one fact about this man was that he was sitting in school with normal bunch of 15 year old students when he was 26.The education which he missed out due to football.But he perseveres with his education to become a qualified podiatrist - a study for foot disorders.You wont see such players ever to do this.He had one of the most fabulous footballing friends Bryan Robson one of them,but he still balanced his popularity and fame with his game.This is what today's footballers need to learn.I think it would be fun reading about such players.Tell me if anyone need this book.


20 Legend Retires


What has happened to me.I just didnt write about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.How dumb can i be.Sorry for such a late note on my 20 legend.Solskjaer,the baby face assassin or you can say 20 legend thats all what you are talking about a world class player who was always with United no matter how the situations were.
The 34 year old retired after fighting hard with injury and finally gave up.His humbleness can be seen when he wrote on his fan site saying "I would like to thank manager Sir Alex Ferguson, the coaching and medical staff and most of all the supporters.They have been fantastic and were a real inspiration to me when I was out injured."Playing with the team Ole has 10 trophies to his name in his 11 years with United. Ferguson said"Ole has achieved everything a player could ever wish to achieve.He has been a great servant to the club and has always remained a model professional in his responsibility as a player, in his demeanour and his manners have always been exemplary. Ole will hopefully go on to be a good coach."
Ole played 366 matches with club scoring 126 goals.His last season come back saw 11 important goals which lead United to win the campaign.
Thanks Ole :

United 1-0 Sunderland

United wins against Sunderland win a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.The match didn't prove to its standards .It looked like small bunch of people playing rather than footballers.Yeah it was good that United had results out of this match.But it doesn't make sense winning by just 1 goal against a newly promoted club.Sunderland have lost previous all matches except for the season opener which proves their bad form.United were showing lack of their experience even with such high caliber players playing the match.I have never seen Scholes so confused with every pass.He almost waited for few seconds or so before delivering the ball.He was just holding the game too much.Anderson wasn't very impressive.Tevez is warning a bit.Hargreaves was playing perfect in mid-field.Still few mishaps at back and rest all an ordinary match.I thought of goals may be a screamer from Tevez but United making only goal through a corner turned header by Saha.It would difficult this time if United come against tough teams like Liverpool or Chelsea.United didnt look very impressive compared the remaining fixtures .If United wants to win this season.There's one opinion from my side.
Sir Alex needs to stop playing United what Aresnal played last season.Stop the one touch ball game.Make full use of strikers rather than making them work in mid-field.Last.Make your team less dependent on star players.Make the team in such a way that they are capable of playing without Ronaldo and Ronney.

Come On United.

Liverpool on killing spree

Liverpool are flying high this season with a high quality game performance and scoring in all of their games.They have outclassed any team which played against them and have turned out to winners in every game.Rafa this time not working to much on rotation policy:).
So the Derby match.What to say.They knew that they had no chance of winning this match but never would have thought losing by 6 goals.That many Derby have scored yet in premeirship this season.The match starting well.First 20 minutes were good enough to prove this scoreline wrong.First goal coming from Xabi Alonso with a superb45 yards free kick which went sailing in the net.More damage was done when Derby conceded one more in 45 minutes.This time it was there summer signing Babel.Second half was like a might mare for Derby.Many mistakes and all almost ending to Goal.Second Half saw 4 goals coming and 2 from Torres.Liverpool are right now at the top of table with a high percentage of goal difference than Chelsea.I guess they are to be strong contenders this season compared to Chelsea.Watching this match i think United needs to Boost their Morale.
