Well, its a hard pill to swallow... but Rafa got his first win over Fergie in 7 years! Liverpool beat United 2-1, courtesy - defensive blunders by VDS (so typical of him!) and Giggs. There was no passion and no hunger for win. Liverpool deserved the victory. They were the better team. United played like some 4th division team. Mascherano, Kuyt, Alonso and co. outclassed United. They kinda controll

Blame it on the rain. Or the pitch. Don't blame John Terry.The Chelsea defender played brilliantly for 120 minutes in this Champions League Final, clearing balls away from his goal and keeping Manchester United from having more than one goal all night. His header away against Ryan Giggs' shot in extra time may have been the only thing that kept the score tied. That set up a penalty shootout, and P

Claude Makelele squeezes out Cristiano Ronaldo during the sides' meeting earlier this season – but United came out on top overallChelsea FC know they must take three points from Manchester United FC on Saturday to prevent the Premier League champions from all but defending their crown. 'Exciting time'The eagerly-anticipated showdown at Stamford Bridge will go a long way to deciding who lifts the trophy this year, with Chelsea capable of eliminating United's three-point lead and their rivals eager to double it with two games remaining. Given that their goal-difference advantage currently stands at 18, that would effectively resolve the equation in the Red Devils' favour.

Both clubs have refused to confirm what caused the sudden outburst, However, both have claimed the new world record for their respective clubs.
Cristiano Ronaldo proved that persistence is a virtue as he scored his 31st goal of an astonishing season to spare Manchester United from potential embarrassment at rock-bottom Derby. With his ninth off 11 chances overall in the game, and in the 76th minute, Ronaldo finally broke brave Derby's resistence by scoring the only goal to keep United firmly in the hunt for back-to-back titles. It was cruel on doomed Derby in one respect, but deserved by the Reds in another, stretching the Rams' winless streak in the Barclays Premier League to 24 matches. It was unsurprisingly men against boys, yet somehow Derby headed into the interval on the back of the most incredulous scoreline of their wretched season as they had held United scoreless. For the opening 20 minutes the rout everyone had expe

Pick From Premier leagueMan United - TottenhamSunday, 25 AugustKick off: 16:00 BSTPrediction: United to winThe odds: in Decimal 1.50Bwin in Decimal 1.50The verdict:It is obvious that Tottenham just can not manage the saga of Berbatov, Jol, board, etc. relations and that certainly affects the performance on the pitch. It is true that the Spurs woke up with 4:0 against Derby last Saturday at home but tomorrow they will face one desperate to win giant at its own stadium. United have no choice but to win now in front of the fans after more than disappointing first 3 games of the campaign. If we see anything than United win here that will mean that the end of the football world as we have seen it so far is coming. Van den Saar and Anderson are ready, Saha will probably sit on the bench and Fergie do not need to play a big role in the motivation process before the game - it is a question of honour now against a team which have top 4 ambitions.Berbatov may start the game but Bent is out. I
Chelsea have a number of injury worries going into Saturday’s final. Andriy Shevchenko and Michael Ballack are definitely out, having taken themselves off for respective hernia and ankle operations, but how much of a negative impact that will actually have on the team is up for debate.
Of more concern is the fitness of centre-back Ricardo Carvalho, who has been one of the Blues’ best players this season. The Portuguese has damaged knee ligaments and has only a ‘one percent’ chance of playing according to manager Jose Mourinho, who must decide whether to play defender Khalid Boulahrouz or midfielder Michael Essien alongside skipper John Terry at the heart of the defence.
Boulahrouz has proven something of a liability this season and Essien has been drafted in as an emergency centre-back on previous occasions, but the latter option deprives Chelsea’s midfield of one of their most effective operators.
Winger Arjen Robben may be able to play some part in the f

Three days after squandering a great chance to go six points ahead of Chelsea in the Premier League title race, Manchester United has another opportunity on Wednesday.The Red Devils host Everton while the Blues have a tough game at third-place Bolton.Eight of the top nine clubs are in action - No. 4 Portsmouth is at No. 9 Liverpool, No. 5 Aston Villa is at home against erratic Manchester City, and No. 6 Arsenal travels to Fulham.Man United, which has 35 points to lead Chelsea by three, hasn't lost in 13 home league games against Everton, which looks certain to be without England striker Andy Johnson because of a hamstring injury."He did it in the Bolton game and tried to play on with it," Everton manager David Moyes said Tuesday. "We don't think it's too bad, but it doesn't look as if he will play at United."Moyes will also be without American goalkeeper Tim Howard, who is on loan from United and ineligible to play.United is hoping that winger Cristiano Ronaldo and striker Louis
Alex Ferguson named five "world class" players he coached during his 20 years at Manchester United.And David Beckham wasn't among them.Asked for the list for a club history published this week, Ferguson came up with goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, winger Ryan Giggs, Eric Cantona, Wayne Rooney and Roy Keane.While he added that current winger Cristiano Ronaldo has the potential to join the list and that Paul Scholes was a possibility, Beckham didn't get a mention.That could have as much to do with the pair's personality clash as anything else.Former England captain Beckham helped United win nine league and cup trophies, including the 1999 Champions League, and looked on Ferguson as a strong influence on his 12-year spell at Old Trafford.However, the pair fell out.Ferguson was once so angry after a defeat that he kicked a soccer boot in the changing room and it hit Beckham above the eye, opening a deep cut. He sold him to Real Madrid in 2003.Ferguson also overlooked Ruud van Nistelrooy
All this talk of the great youngsters on show at the Emirates has somewhat overshadowed the youthful look of the table toppers at Old Trafford. Sure Sir Alex’s mob may not all be in the same teen years group as Wenger’s but the still have a nucleus of a very young outfit that is already [...]
I think it’s fair to say that there is little love lost between the Toffees and their former hero Wayne Rooney. He left in acrimonious circumstances. Clearly his claim that ‘Once a blue, always a Blue’ referred in some odd way to a Man United third strip. Now it appears that Everton’s ‘luvvie’ Chairman and [...]
Goodness me, just when you thought player wages couldn’t become any more astronomical. According to the Daily Telegraph, you’d be bang wrong to assume this, with Real Madrid willing to break several banks in order to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeu. Apparently, the Spanish champions are prepared to go double or quits as far [...]
For weeks, the chase for this 22-year-old midfielder has been going back and forth with Manchester United and Arsenal vying for his signature, but the latest price hike is just crazy and Arsene Wenger isn’t stupid enough to be ripped off!
Sporting Lisbon have put a price tag of around £24m on Portugal midfielder and Arsenal [...]
The problem with losing Cristiano Ronaldo is that he’s impossible to replace. Nobody is going to score 41 goals for Manchester United next season, not even 31 and maybe not even 21. More firepower will almost certainly be needed if the Red Devils are going to win even the Carling Cup and that’s where Roque [...]
But will they get their man? It appears that the battle has only just begun for Real Madrid to land Cristiano Ronaldo, despite the player admitting that he sees his future at the Bernabeu and not Old Trafford, where he has spent the past few seasons. The Red Devils are not going to let their [...]
So Cristiano Ronaldo has gone and done it. The Portuguese forward finally came out yesterday and revealed what most of us were suspecting - that he no longer wants to play for Manchester United and would prefer to join the club so fond of flattering to deceive instead - Real Madrid. Not that a move [...]
The month of June in the year 2008 will be remembered for the endless stream of speculation surrounding the future of Cristiano Ronaldo. Especially if the boy wonder helps Portugal win Euro 2008, which looks a distinct possibility after a hot-to-trot display against Turkey.
Despite the forward not wanting to talk about where he’ll be playing [...]
There was a mutual respect between Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho, despite the latter’s best attempts to rub everyone up the wrong way with his constant press manipulation and ideas above his station. The Man United manager found his Chelsea counterpart amusing and put up with him over a bottle of red wine.
However, the [...]
Karim Benzema might be picking up a World Footballer of the Year award within the next few seasons. The French striker is still far from the real deal, although he’s had a fantastic season for Lyon and demonstrated in the Champions League against Manchester United that’s he’s hot property. It’s little surprise that the likes [...]
Like a couple of little kids fighting over a new toy, Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson are both determined to be the first to land the signature of Blackburn’s wantaway striker Roque Santa Cruz.
The Daily Mirror reports that while Sir Alex might have the trophies, he apparently doesn’t have that French accent that Roque [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo might not be the only Portugeezer leaving Old Trafford this summer. The Daily Telegraph reports that Carlos Queiroz, the Manchester United assistant manager, is top of Portugal’s list to replace Phil Scolari after the latter decided to join Chelsea from 1st July. How ironic it would be if Chelsea’s decision-making had a direct [...]
If you believe everything you read, then Chelsea are going to play with 11 strikers come the start of the season. The latest player to be linked to Stamford Bridge is Cristiano Ronaldo. No, I don’t believe it either.
