I Just Love Man U.

I just simply love Man U you know.I think I have been a fan since the 80's.The most interesting time was watching Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister manning their defence..they both were just great.It seems nobody or nothing can get past them..then comes Captain Marvel era..Bryan Robson,the midfield maestro that is ever so cool,and no surprise he become captain of the team because he certainly can lead.Eric Cantona..who doesn't remember him..no..not for the Kung Fu kick but his brilliance on the field,his genius keep on winning games for Man U.After he depart,many wonder,with all this new players from the Man U academy,will they shine?DavidBeckham,Gary Neville,Phil Neville,Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are product of this academy and they enter the first team at almost the same time after graduating.The one that get the most attention is Beckham,he's more good looking than he is a good footballer some say..but can any not good footballer notice an opportunity and score an incredible goal from just inches in your own half?He did against Wimbeldon and I never saw any other world class player doing it.He practise a lot to improve his passes and freekicks,his signature freekicks.He lacks in style and dribbling,but give him the ball,and he sure can pass it right to your feet or head or whatever.

Their last greatest achievement was in 1999 when they won the treble..the league,FA cup and European Cup..this season they already miss on the FA Cup after losing to Portsmouth in the quarterfinal,but they already won the Barclay's Premier League,winning on the last day,beating Chelsea to it,yet this two team will meet again in Moscow this coming 21st May to decide the winner of the Champions League.If Man U win,they will do the double this season and Sir Alex Ferguson will go one up against Sir Matt Busby,the legendary Man U manager who won the European Cup in 1968.If Chelsea win,it will be their first,and what a present it will be for their owner,Roman Abramovich to win in his native soil of Russia.

Both team have been great this season,Chelsea did well after the early season departure of The Special One..Jose Maurinho,but his replacement,Avram Grant certainly did well to guide Chelsea.Lets hope it will be an interesting final and may the best team on that night win.To Man U..good luck guys..
