Sports ON!!

It has been 10 days since my last post. And I've been through a lot of stuff. Also some stuff planned to be included here even before the last post, were not finished.

O well. The title describes my days.

10-11th march - submit form for futsal, and the league.
12th march - League draw.
13th - Futsal draw.
14th - league start.
15th - Kelkatu's first game. v Galacticos, 3-2.
crazy game. for the first time in curtin league, game is played at 40-rest-40. Basicly not many are fit enough for that as we are used to 30-10-30. O well, I got cramp my self. I got tackled on my thigh by my own goalkeeper. But he then later on got kicked by a striker(Vee) and Vee was red-carded. Haha. I got a bruise that I don't know when and how I got it.

16th - FYP initiation report. So I spent the night(sunday) with Sedut at lab to do it. And on monday, the report was rejected. My supervisor has her own format, not similar to the normal format. Huhu. Then finalise the order of Kelkatu jersey. At night, rugby club meeting, but I skip, too lazy for it.

17th - Futsal start. Lambir United v United FC. We won 5-0. A surprise anyway. I scored 1.
18th - Futsal v Music Society, 2-0. I scored 1.
19th - Futsal v We Cant Play, 4-0. Did not score, but did few fancy stuff. Haha. Like it.

20th - Submit the new report. Done. Evening, received a big parcel. Team jersey has arrived. OK. Touch team annnounced. At night, noticed that the parcel has caused me making a huge problem to myself.
Today - Woke up early. Go for rugby. Win loss loss win. Lunch lamb, chicken, beef BBQ a whole lot of them. Really full. Went back campus. Ready for league match against Crazy Stone. 12-0.

That's all for now. I'll add pictures in next post.

Badge for Champion of the World

In recognition of United's Club World Cup triumph in Japan, FIFA President Sepp Blatter will present the Reds with a special 'Champions' badge before United's clash with Internazionale on Wednesday evening.

The white emblem features an image of the Club World Cup trophy and is inscribed with the words "Manchester United Champions 2008."

It will be worn on the shirts during Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup games until the new winner is decided later this year.

Sir Alex Ferguson is immensely proud of his team's achievement in becoming the first side to win the trophy and says his players will be honoured to don the badge.

"It was an enormous honour to become the first British club to win the FIFA Club World Cup and this is a badge we will wear with great pride," he said.

"I hope we are in a position to defend the trophy in Abu Dhabi in December."

United Jersey for Season 2009/10

O well. While we are still in the middle of season 08/09, Nike seems to ready for the next season.

And it is always a fact that we can trust nobody. Haha.

It is understandable that manufacturers will prepare things early, but when we do things early, we tend to lost the surprise of it.

In simple word here, jersey that will be used for next season, is still far from its official launching by Nike nor Manchester United FC, but since that it is already in production, the design has leaked out and NAH!!!! It is in the market. probably they are fake, but replica manufacturer today always got their products very similar to the original one.

So, check this!!

Home Jersey.


Away jersey


First impression = UGLY.
2nd impression = CLASSIC + RETRO
3rd thought = I doubt I'll buy them
4th = But it will be good for collection tho..
HAHA...

Frankly, if we browse through United's history, we know that similar design was produced long time ago. 80s and before.

Is Nike out of idea already? Or it is just the things people like. Retro. Classic. Memories. Bla bla bla.

Home, the red one, is OK despite the V thing make it a little weird.

Away, the white is totally out!! The V I think is tooooo big. Plus the color combination is wrong. And the idea of 'leher bertali' is OK in general. But ut needs more touches here and there to make it presentable.

Oh, one mroe thing. Sponsor.
We knew AIG will no longer sponsor MU. And we heard that there are few (Asians mostly) companies are bidding for it. And also in Malaysia it was said that MU approached Air Asia to be the sponsor (Wow?). But this picture described that Saudi Telco has confirmed the agreement of the sponsorship. Is it? I dont have the answer. Haha.

Well, if I decided to buy them, I'll post a picture of me wearing it!! Before new season start. yeah!

United and All the Title5

Within this 14 days, United are showing their hunt for the magnificient year, all existing tournament, they are winning them!!! Haha.

Let see.
1st March League Cup final (v Tottenham) WON!! 1 title in hand.
4th March Premier League (v Newcastle) Won! secured 7 points lead.
7th Match FA Cup (v Fulham)
11th March Champions League (v Inter Milan)
14th March Premier League (v Liverpool)

Is there any other teams in the world - especially this season - is having such run of matches in such numbers of competitions?? NO!! None!! Only the Devils can do it. Because they 'just do it' with Nike.

O well, I can say 1 simple thing about this first 14 days in March. If United win all the games during this time, they are going to take all 4 titles by the end of the season. No doubt!!! Wanna bet?? Contact me then. Haha.

Why I say that?
League Cup already counted in.
Won over Liverpool will secure Premier League. Because Liverpool will be 10 points behind. Chelsea will be chasing with 7 points to cope...No hope.
Beating Inter in Champions League, the only stopper for United from claiming the trophy is Barcelona. But they are having a shocking losses lately (2 matches in a row). So, Barcelona suddenly become a none-threat. haha.
FA Cup, simply United can win CUPs in England. Haha.

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspurs (Carling Cup Final)

Stadium : Wembley
Date : 1st March 2009

Score
Manchester United 0 (4)
Giggs
Tevez
Ronaldo
Anderson

Tottenham Hotspurs 0 (1)
i dono the scorer

As the game ended 0-0, even after the tiring 30minutes of extra time, United claimed their 3rd League Cup title, their first silverware in 2009, 3rd title in this season by a comfortable 4-1 penalty shoot-out. The Devils control the match from the beginnning, and no coubt deserve the win.

There were occasions in the game when the Devils really looked like they are going to score, denied by goalpost and etc. The extra time were really torturing to the players as we can see some of the pros even suffered cramp leg. Probably they are trained to play to the max at 90 minutes, and when they play more than that, their physical are not really ready.

PLayers:
Ben Foster
Did good job in full time. And sealed the marvellous performance with the magnificient save for the first penalty. That really helped tho!!

Evra
Not expected to start, but he did well as expected.

Rio Ferdinand
Another unexpected starter, but he got no problem with that. He captained the team and brought them the glory.

Johny Evans
He is a real Devil. Suffering ankle injury, but very eager to play. He got his name on the first 11. He played well, until we can see that he is limping for the injury, but Sir Alex sub Vidic in for O'Shea, and that pushed Evans to the right, which means more running. But Evans had no complain about that, and actually did well even on the right, defensively and attacking wise.

John O'Shea
I bet he got the first yellow for the game, and he did. HAHA. Danny, chill k.

Nani
Played on the left. He did well early in the game. But didn't see him much when the game wore on. I expect him to be subbed out, but he wasn't.

Scholes
He played well and had no problem to play the same tempo for 2 hours. Yes, 2 hours, 120 minutes, he mantained the same pace. Great for his age, even younger players includind Ronaldo showed that they couldn't handle the length of the game.

Gibson
He did well early of the game. But dissappointing towards the end.

Ronaldo
He played well, but he didn't take shot as much as he could have. And unlucky in some occasions as well.

Tevez
He played his game till the end. I wonder where he got that much of energy tho.

Welbeck
Diappointing outing for the young lad. Maybe he is not yet ready for Wembley.

Anderson (sub Welbeck)
When he came in, the position and strategy changed. More defensive with 4-5-1 from the 4-4-2. He had few shot, but unlucky. I wonder when will he score.

Vidic (sub O'Shea)
Also affected the positioning of the team where Evans had to moved aside. But with him and Ferdinand in the middle, United's back looked like the Great Chinese Wall.

Giggs (sub Gibson)
Came in for the extra time. He used his experience very wisely to dictate the game at the right tempo for that kind of exhaustion.

What ever it is, quadraple on our way. GLORY GLORY.

Me wearing my new United jersey. Lucky jersey cause UNited won the game. Haha.
