Things I Learnt From Manchester United’s Road To Double Champions Season 07/08

May 23, 2008 Soccer

Manchester United won English Premier League and European Champions League this year. They did a double. However, many had written Manchester United off as early as October last year when they started the season terribly. They only managed 3 wins 2 draws 1 loss, 11 out of 18 points in their 1st 6 English Premier League games. What’s worse was that there was basically no fit striker to use, only managed 10 goals in from the 1st 12 games, average 0.83 goal. However, Manchester United is determined enough to go through the down period and they bounced back everytime after every defeat from then on. And they went from stronger to stronger! At the end of the season, they have 39 wins 11 draws and 7 loss out of 57 games played, scored 110 goals (average 1.9) and only let in 33 (average 0.6).

Ungracious Fabregas

The photo tells it all.
fabregas

He is a young player with great potential. But I don’t see him becoming great player if he is so ungracious.

That is Rooney’s jersey.

Man Utd 2:1 Arsenal, Is Adebayor going to RETIRE end of this season?

Apr 14, 2008 Around the Word, Soccer

Well well, I know that the season is not over yet. Mathematically, Arsenal still has a chance to be champion of English Premier League season 07/08. This is provided that Arsenal win all and Man Utd loses all the remaining matches. Also, they must pray that Chelsea loses all also.

Basically, it is not practical to think that Arsenal is still in the run. Now, it will be interesting to know, if Adebayor is going to retire end of season? Since he said that “if Arsenal don’t win title, he will quit“.

Adebayor, 23, told The Sun: ‘If we don’t win it, I will take my shirt off and call Arsene Wenger.

‘I’ll say ‘Boss, I want to stop playing football’ because I have a lot of ambition and part of my ambition is to win the title.’

It is good to “have dreams”, but it is very very bad to TALK BIG. You can dream big, but don’t TALK BIG, especially when you are just so small.
