Manchester United F.C.

Yeah, another post! After talking about my favourite kind of music, it's time to talk about my favourite football club and it is none other than Manchester United of England. Manchester United is one of the most successful football club in England, having won the Premier League title eight times and on the verge of winning it's ninth title under it's most successful manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. But altogether in their history the club has won 15 League title and won the FA Cup 11 times, which is an English record, the League Cup twice, and the European Cup twice. In the year 1999, they are the first English club to win the Treble (League, FA Cup and the European Cup). The club is based at the Old Trafford stadium which is located in Manchester and has the best capacity amount of 76,312 (in England) and therefore has the best attendance record (also in England)!

Old Trafford, Manchester

In these past 5 seasons, only Arsenal were able to threaten United's dominance. That was until some rich Russian billionaire bought a silly football club, Chelsea F.C. Thus with only money , this football club was transformed from a lousy to a good football club. For the past two seasons Chelsea have dominated English football. But in the 2006-2007 season, Manchester United rised again. They started the season with a 5-1 thrashing of Fulham at Old Trafford and since then never looked back. All in all, they now lead the table by 9 points with only 3 defeats so far and boast one of the best defensive record, conceding only 19 goals in 28 games.

Actually at the start of the season, no one expected them to play like they do now because of an incident during the 2006 World Cup which involved Christiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. But they showed that it is no big deal with the season that they had so far. Ronaldo is the second top scorer in the league while Rooney has assisted lots of goals while contributing 10 league goals. The defense meanwhile is organized by the experienced Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der sar and the central pairing of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
The midfield meanwhile is controlled by old boys Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes plus new signing Michael Carrick.

This Saturday, today that is, their quest to retain the League title continues wait a trip to Anfield where they will face Liverpool. If they win this, they will open up a 12 point gap between them and Chelsea. Let's us all MU hope that they claim full points in this match, gambatte MU!
