Man Utd 4 - 3 Arsenal
We won, though it went to penalties it was a good victory. The temperature was around the upper 30's so it was difficult for the palyers and this reflected on the pace of the game. A good goal from Silvestre started it off, with Arsenal scoring an equilizer a while later from a free kick. the free kick should have never been given, but it was the referee's decision. ! arsenal player was sent of for kicking Phil neville, another should have been for kicking Fortune. Very good performances by the captain, Roy Keane, Silvestre and of course our new star keeper Tim Howard.
First blood has been drawn in the Arsenal/Utd saga this season. We are going to win them all!!

Its the day before the start of the Premiership season. Man Utd versus Bolton at 3pm. Unfortunately its not being shown on any television channels, but never-the-less, ill be listening intently. I expect a win, even though Bolton have been a problem for us in the past. COme on United.
I hope Tim Howard is starting along with Ronaldo, nistelroy, scholes, kleberson, keane, solskjaer, ferdinand, forutne, silvestre, o'shea
We were beaten 3-1 in our last pre-season friendly, but it was a junior team put out just for some experience and testing. The real games start now......

Have you watched the United match yet? Just finished watching it. It was an average performace by United up until the 60th minute or so, whereupon the young Ronaldo came on and showed his flare. Man, this guy was amazing for an 18 year old, reminded me a bit of when Solskjaer and Owne started for their respective teams. He moves so fast and is match with his amazing ball control. He also can cross teh ball with amazing accuracy and skill. David Beckham?? Who is David Beckham?? lol. I think he will be here to paly a great part in the future of Man Utd, though i hope he isnt made to paly to soon. The Portugal side has called him up on Wednesday.
Also, Djemba Djemba looked like he had been in the squad for years whenever he came on. He is another future potential hero of Uniteds. I think he is being drafted in as a future midfield controller in replacing the legendary Roy Keane in a few years (i hope to God no time soon - we love you Roy).

I agree ronaldo is an amazing player, he really showed determination to impress the crowd! My brother was at the game, said the atmosphere whenever he got the ball would have blown a roof off if it was there ;-)

Yeah I saw that Man Utd game on Sky and that Ronaldo looked the bollox. Got them a penalty and did a fine cross to lead to one of their goals. Looks to be a worthy Beckham replacement but only time will tell.

Republic of Ireland kinda struggled to a 2-1 victory over Australia with Mark Vaduka opening the scoring for Australia in the start of the second half. Ireland replied some time later with John O'sheas first goal for his country, he is still yet to score for United. The follow up from Clinton Morrison secured the victory in the last friendly before the Euro 2004 qualifiers. It was a dissapointing start to the match, more so when Robbie Keane went of with a bad sprain to the ankle, he might miss the match in 3 weeks time.
England are taking on Croatia tonight at 7.30pm.

Yeah, ankles were ok, only probably was someone landed on my big toe and broke the nail right off. There is puss and blood oozing from it :-(
John O Shea played pretty well. It was nice to see him score his first goal. He took it very well also. Im a bit worried about Robbie Keane, hope he can make the match in 3 weeks. Here man, you looking forward to our 3-1 victory against Newcastle tomorrow?

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Ronaldo turned out to be an utter shite bench sub boy and Oriphus spent 40-odd quid on his shirt. We all live in hope ;O)

Another succesful match under uniteds massive belt. It was a pretty good preformance by us in mu opinion. The first goal for Newcastle was a bit of a farce for two reasons it think.
1). Paul Scholes never handled the ball (the referee was behind him and couldnt see that - why did he give it then????)
2). Although Silvestre shouldve been stronger, he was pushed to the ground in the box by Alan Shearer to score the goal. referee????
The game progressed frmo there to more incredible decisions by the referee. Ryan Giggs was on for goal and was taken down from behind by the last defender who go no where near the ball. the rules are, free kick and the defender gets sent off. Referee??? That incident saw a very angry coach sent of. Alex was fuming and i dont think thats the last we'll hear of it.
Van Nistleroy in the box was brought down, a good call for a penalty (not given of course) but i feel it may have been a good defensive tackle rather than an illegal one.
An amazing performace by the captain Roy Keane. Both goals from United were set up with absolutely amazing passes frmo that man. He was out of this world when it came to the balls he played in. After Van Nistelroy missing a similar one on one with Shay Given, he was feed in again by Roy Keane to score an excellent goal. A short while later, Paul Scholes missed an amazing tap in, but made up for it with a chested ball in to the back of the net from another excellent Roy Keane pass.
If you add up what we shouldve scored, and take away the farcical Newcastle goal, it shoul've been 4-0 easily to Man Utd.
Well done to the boys in red anyway. the last time we won our first two premiership games, Arsenal won the league!! Who likes statistics anyway? lol :D
