We are the champion.....AGAIN!!!

Manchester United has done it again. winning the title 3 times in a row is not an easy job. it shows that we are truly the best team in England. not liverpool not chelsea , of course not arsenal.
another remarkable fact is that United had won more english league title than any other team does except liverpool which is 18. but when was the last time liverpool lift the trophy? well, long long time ago that you will start you story with "once upon a time...."
liverpool did pose a great threat for United to retain the title this season. to be honest i was impressed by their good form this season. they usually can't survive through the hectic december fixtures. the main problem for their team is the squad depth. they can't afford to lose gerrard and torres. these guy were the key factor for liverpool to climb up to this position for this season. comparing torres to any United striker, i would say he has better scoring touch than any of the United strikers. but he doesn't not have the aggression of tevez, the controlling ability to bring others into play of berbatov, the power of rooney and the skills and precission of ronaldo. steven gerrard, he has got great mentality and technique to claim that he is one of the best midfielder in the world. i have no argue that none of the United midfielder has the standard like him and perform consistantly throughout the whole season. but 1 player is not enough. although we don't have a player like gerrard, but carrick can control the midfield like gerrard does; anderson can execute a killer pass like gerrard does; fletcher can connect the defensive and attacking line like gerard does; scholes definitely has more experience than gerrard does, changing sides like gerard does; giggs can dribble better than gerrard, especially down the left, his teritory; park is more energetic than gerrard.
what? other liverpool midfielder? you got to be kidding me. none of them match a single United midfielder.
defensive wise, carragher? arbeloa? skrtel? hyypia? aurelio? who?
there is no other defensive line better than United's do.
with ferdinand and vidic paired up perfectly in the centre and evra and o'shea down both flanks. this is the best defensive line ever. who can say that ferdinand and vidic are not at their best when they help United to achieve a 23 matches clean sheet.
john o'shea has made a incredible performance for United this season. he has called up to filled in the right back position which left by gary neville's injury and rise up to the standard to help United to secure the title. he played equally good in left back and centre back position. obviously, liverpool doesn't have a player this versatile.
other than o'shea, we have got rafael, brown and neville in the right back position. unfortunately brown and neville missed out the most of the matches in this season.
evra might not be a very solid defender, but he has got no problem running down the left flank to provide the attacking force. especially playing the one-two with ronaldo.
liverpool doesn't have the quality young player too. macheda, welbeck, rafael, fabio, gibson, evans, eckersley and possebon are the young stars at old trafford. not even the young gunners at arsenal can compete with them.
maybe you will say spending big money give us success. yeah we do. splashing in the money can get the players we need in the squad. so why not? but even big money can't help us sign aaron ramsey which was lost out to arsene wenger. torres to liverpool. mikel and robben to chelsea. others choose United. why? because they think they can achive what they want here, and they do. do you think ronaldo will be the world best player in arsenal? do you think rooney will grow into a world class striker like now in everton? and i can say that torres will be the best striker in the world if he is in the United squad now.
liverpool did spent big in the transfer window. robbie keane? 20+ million? for half a season? what a joke.
overally, United is the best team in England this season and we will see if they are the best team in Europe in a couple of week.


don't be too dishearten liverpool fans. there's always next season. but i don't know how many seasons are you willing to wait.

Newcastle United 3-1 Middlesborough

fascinating performance by Newcastle!
Obafemi Martins the super sub, not forgetting Lovenkrands. They both scored the vital goals Newcastle needed.
Newcastle are definitely staying up!

Arsenal 1-3 Manchester United

The title says it all, we are marching to Rome. magnificent display by United. we should have gotten a clean sheet but the bad penalty decision gave Arsenal a consolation goal. that was a fair and perfect tackle from fletcher. i hope the UEFA would revoke the red card. they should.
i truly don;t expect the 3-1 scoreline because i expect MORE! and we deserve more goals. at least 5 i would say. and Arsenal should not get that goal. anyway, good performance and i am very satisfied with the result. let see which team will meet United in the final. well i hope its barcelona.

(i am going to bed, will edit this post with details maybe tomorrow.)
