Nani is not your (Average) Ronaldo.


If you think he just your average guy, think again. The 'new-born' Nani gave us what we needed most. Victory.

The Portuguese winger's career in 2010 wasn't a bright start, and his last goal for the club in the Premiership was the free-kick scored against Wigan, at the beginning of the season.

Thorough then, he was plagued with injuries and off-form performance, but since his return form the latest injury, his form was simply magnificent.

He was only now 23 years of age, but Ryan Giggs quoted, "With ten minutes to go and to be one-on-one with the goalkeeper, to chip it over him like that shows great confidence. But he’s the talent he has throughout the season. We were all pleased to see it go in, and he deserved it."

Notes taken, he's not Ronaldo. He's Nani.

Remember the name, ladies and gentlemen. There's more to come from this exciting and emerging star of Old Trafford.

Bring it on!


That would be what this fella in the pic might be yelling at the London's Blues.
Heading to the match, I could see Man Utd slipped out from the title chase, as Man City was running riot, unlike Man Utd who suffered a torrid month of April so far.

Until today...
A last gasp header by Man Utd's own Paul Scholes, lit up the hope for Man Utd's title chasing ambition as the victory pulled them close to only a point behind Chelsea, who will found themselves facing a much delighted Tottenham Hotspurs, fresh from their nail biting win against another (famous) London club, and also the title contender, Arsenal.

Yesh, my friend. There's still hope for Man Utd, but they asking for Chelsea to slip up a little bit. I know Man Utd's not that kind of team who they wished for help form other rival clubs, but... I'm pretty sure Sir Alex Ferguson himself wished the team to get as much luck and help from others. (Prayers anyone...?)
But, tonight's win was utter.. Dramatic. Paul Scholes headed home at the very last moments of the game was pure beautiful for me, and to make things better, it's another Manchester derby victory.
Imposing figure such as Tevez and Adebayor could not make their break even though Man Utd simply did gave them several of chances, but they didn't converted every chances they could get. The best might probably fall for Tevez, who, his wonderful free-kick just outside form the box was well saved and well held by Edwin van Der Sar. If it's in, Man utd had to crawl for at least the equalizer...

All's well end's well for us tonight. I wish Man Utd a best of luck and, may the best team wins. :) Till then~
p/s: Facts: That was Paul Scholes' 149 goals in Man Utd's shirt. His first goal was back in 1994.

So Near yet So Far


So near yet so far, that's how Man Utd season so far.

The exit from Champion's League was a great dismissal, and I felt that this lose truly wrapped this season's mission.

But, I don't want to complain. The best team won and sadly it wasn't Man Utd.

Although, I'm proud to see them last night. The things how the team shaking off this season was something inspiring and I see lot's of team work more than last season.

Wayne Rooney, Nani, Park Ji-Sung, and the whole team mesmerized me. The signing of Michael Owen was a bit surprising but to be fair, he's been something that Man Utd missing lately.

Last night's game was pretty much of what I'd love to say; "That's football".

Good luck Man Utd. At least, win this season's Premiership.

May God bless you.
