V+R+B = - Blue

A mathematical equation non the less.

Drama! More Drama! and More Drama!

The beauty of Football.

I am not one to boast about my love for Man Utd but I got quite an ear full when Man Utd were beaten by Derby in the first leg.

The Title race is wide open now. Two games in hand and hopefully Man Utd will be able to capitalise and get all six points.

Wenger claims the EPL has lost his magic. Benitez is more vocal after his surgery.

The EPL is just about to heat up and that is why its the BEST league in the World, eventhough I have never been to Manchester or will I ever live there but I am a support them with pride, win or lose, A Red devil is always a Red Devil!!

"... and he scores his first goal for United ..."

The 23 year old Argentine player scores his first goal for his new club, Manchester United, and what a critical time to score againts bitter rivals, Chelsea.

No tongue lashing or the usual early season mind games amongst two of the most respected managers in the BPL. But rather a clouded affair of Mr Jose's abrupt 'mutual departure'. Stepping in his position is Mr Avram Grant who apparently is close personal friend of the big boss, Mr Roman Abramovich.

I googled Mr Grant and found that he is from Israel and he coached Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccab Haifa. He also had a short stint at being the Israel National team coach. I saw him and there was not enough aura about him to suggest he had command of the team.

Post match review saw him arguing why the referee had not given a second yellow to Ronney for the push from behind on Ashely Cole late in the second half. When clearly, Joe Cole should have been given a straight red for his lunge on Evra in the first half which was an obvious foul and his tackle on Cristiano in the second. He was lucky to have been given a yellow and it was obvious he was very venting his frustrations.

Mr Joe Cole, I know you will never read this but what you did is wrong and you know it. You know you are very lucky to have been given just a yellow card. I guess now you know what it is like to be 'second' best!!! You are no doubt a very talented player and I guess now I know why Sir Alex never really saw the potential in you. You are good but not great, Enough said!!!

Mr Saha made a 'meal' out of his tackle by Ben Haim but Man Utd have been denied a couple of penalty claims already. So justice has been served?

Nevertheless, Man Utd deserved the win. Chelsea looked like a pack of lost sheep on the field. Only time will tell how Chelsea will do this season. All the best to the Blues. All is not lost, the season is still a long way to go and any team can still win the league.

Arsenal are top of the table without Henry and it does not seem like he is being missed. Fabregas has annouced his arrival and his captaincy proves it.

But as always - It is sweet revenge and Man Utd are on a five game winning streak and have pushed themselves up to second spot. Congrats to Mr Tevez and may you score more brilliant goals for the Red Devils.

No Mour! No Mour! No Mour[hino]!



I have no idea whether I should feel absolutely estatic or very sad.

At around noon today, I wanted to check up on the full scores of this early mornings European Champions League Matches.

But what do I read as soon as I open soccernet.com?


The "Special One" has left by mutual consent? A quitter? Is that an attribute of a Manager who has taken The Blues to back to back EPL titles?

Seems hard to swallow but who are we going to taunt now? I am sure the search is now on for his successor. Who has big enough shoes to fill in this huge gap he has left at Chelsea? Who has the guts to put up with Ramon's antics and let him interfere with decisions that will effect the outcome or shape of the squad or even the starting eleven.

You will be sorely missed Mr Jose Mourhino. We will miss your silly comments. We will miss your comical face that shows up on our 49" plasma TV of your frowning when things do not go you way. But most of all we would just like you to know that we will miss you 'AS IF!!'

It is about time you packed your bags and leave the Blues. They need some one with passion and committment. Not some one who throws away a winners medal 'TWICE'!!! Disrespectful Twit!!
Bon Voyage!! Remember it was good while it lasted!!

The Ball is Round

I have to get this out of my head, when most would say 'out of my chest'. When you really think about it, its actually your brain which thinks about your feelings and not the heart.

A very disappointed Man Utd Fan in the form of a friend texted me after the Manchester Derby and the text reads 'I am not going to watch the EPL anymore. Man Utd are out of the title.'

I feel you. I really do but honestly I had predicted this result already when I met with my friends at noon during the reception. I told one friend that if Man Utd win it will be 'Kaluk' or 'Lucky'. I should be more confident and supportive of my fave team but after watching the first two games of the season and losing Rooney for two months and a three match ban for a silly red card for Ronaldo I had a feeling Man Utd were not going to have a good start to the season.

Man Utd have averaged over 40 attempts on goal in the first two matches and have only managed one goal from Scholesy.

Tonight Man Utd were the dominant team in both halves of the 90 minutes but one singular attempt and a deflection of the calf of Vidic saw the ball swerve past Van Der Sar and into the back of the neck.

Am I gutted? No! Why should I? Its only footy and esok patang melapas garam Hahahaha.

I will play my best and wear my Man Utd colours proudly when I play tomorrow afternoon at UBD. I have been playing futsal regularly last week and I am hungry for more action.

So to all the Man Utd Fans out there. Relax. We win some. We lose some. We just are not performing right now and accept it. The season has only just begun.

Letter To Mr Jose

Dear Mr Jose,

For the first time in 2 seasons since your arrival at multi million London side - The Blues - your ego and arrogance has never been at its maximum until recently. Finding your side hit by injury and just 6 points adrift of current league leaders and my favourite team, Man Utd, You are adamant that your side will still lift the trophy come the end of the season.

Your recent outburst after a 'shocking' goal-less draw has spatted out that Sir Alex's side has blew their chance of lifting the title again. Bragging about the fact how your side has wrapped up the championship by Christmas and with a huge point gap compared to this season, just shows how desperate you are at this point. Mr Jose, you should worry about winning the Champions league first before thinking about winning the league.

With all due respect, You ahve been given all the 'best' resources but you will never have what teams like Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal have and that is 'History'.

These teams have a history to prove their championship quality. Arsenal are forming a new team and have bought young players and youth players coming through the ranks. So they will be back in full force perhaps next season. Man Utd were a young side last year but how they have matured this season has seen themselves work so well as a team. Liverpool still trying to get the very best of themselves but with the new management coming soon they will have the cash to bring in more quality players.

So bet your dollar on Chelsea not retaining the title this season and next season Mr Jose because everyone one else will be improving and Your Boss, Roman, has invested alot on your Youth academy and he would like to see the youth players make it to the firs team rather than splurge every season.

You have made vicious comments targeting Sir Alex lately and I don't like it. I remember one time ago you were confident that your side will be back at the helm by Christmas.

Well Jose, You ain't Up there so stick it up your rear end that your side S U C K!!

If I had written my christmas list a wee bit earlier this year, I would have only asked for one thing and that was to see Man Utd at the top of the table. Well I didn't have to write that list because It was already on Sir Alex's wish list Hahahahaha.

Mr Jose, You tick me off most of the time and I assume others as well even neutrals think you are just too thick!

May it be Man Utd, Liverpool or Arsenal - which ever team takes the title away from Chelsea this season will be the biggest knock out punch to You Mr Jose since your arrival.

You have yet to win my respect. You may have won the league for The Blues but to me, You are the worst and most uprespected manager in the World.

I have two words for Mr Jose - Up Yours!! - You disrespectful and ungrateful Git!!


Hating You So Much,
