United dig deep to come behind to win…

What a week for Man United… a great win against there fierce rival (Arsenal) and against a big four in the title race it was really great to see. To start with the first was allover the place as united where not in command and Arsenal with there free flowing football. And after an early spell of Arsenal possession, it was Rooney who chipping cleverly over the Gunners’ defence to find on to Fletcher inside the area, which he blasted over the top.

The game was a pretty open with both sides trying to hit on the counter. Then at 40th min Arshavin found space 25 yards from goal, looked up and lashed a blistering right-footed shot goalwards, Foster did got both the hands but the power in the shot took the ball into the goal.








Rooney converted from the spot to register his fifth goal of the season

Then in the second more resurgent and more dynamic united came on the park closing the arsenal player every quickly and then a great pass from the veteran Giggs saw Rooney running for the ball inside the penalty area where he was brought down by the arsenal goal keeper Almunia; and The Reds’ no.10 – who took the penalty, coolly slotted the ball in the other corner of Almunia goal.

Later again a free kick from Giggs saw the arsenal player at the wrong place to slot a own goal for dismal to himself and the arsenal player Abou Diaby inexplicably headed past Almunia and into his own net for an own goal to give united a 2-1 lead with 25 mins to go for end of the match.

It was a grt game with brilliant performance from Giggs; Rooney and the Darren Fletcher… the whole game he was a influence on the team closing the arsenal player and running to support the lone striker and getting back to defend as well. A really get win.

The drama did close as Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger as giving the marching order when a Gallas Header falled to Robin van Persie which he blasted into the united net for the goal to be disallowed as Gallas was Offside.

Over to other games Chelsea register a easy win against Burney. Hotspur had a grt Victory for them to keep at the top with a injury time winner for Lennon. Liverpool did have to come from behind to beat a committed Bolton to win 3-2. City too register win with Adebayor again scoring…Over all again a good week for United to keep the pressure on the Top of the table teams

3rd Week of the season...

3rd Week of the season and had a difficult proposition for United against Wigan; after they getting a hard fought defeat against Burney there where various points to prove for United. As Sir Alex went with the most attacking option available for him with Scholes and Fletcher in the Midfield to take care; it was a great boost for United with Vidic back in the central defense with Rio out for some time with an injury.

The game started very brightly for united with united creating the most chance but the failing to convert them into any goals…first half just went into 0-0 score line and then… the team should have got a "Ferguson hairdryer" from SIR Alex. Which resulted into more aggressive and swift passing which resulted into the 1st goal for Rooney 100th career goal in united colors (hope for many more from him with United) then there was a individual brilliance from Berbatov where he took the ball away from Kirkland to get the united 2nd and his first for the campaign… then it was total domination as Rooney had his 2nd for the game (101st for career) a wicked deflection which kept Kirkland (Wigan goal keeper stranded)… there where changes made as Rooney gave place to Owen who was still looking for his first for the campaign, then combining well with Nani on left side scored a really striker goal to prove point to his detractors…

Then at the very end united got a 25-yard free kick which was curled over the wall and past the motionless Kirkland by Nani…which completed the demolition of Wigan

With that week ending as Chelsea and Arsenal, Hotspur and city all registering wins to keep them top with a shocking result of the week in which Burney again had a upset win over Everton (which took them to bottom of the table) and then the late fixture involving Liverpool and Aston Villa which saw Liverpool training behind 2-0, then Torres scoring but then Gerrard going for a tackle which was mistimed and for Liverpool misery villa got a penalty which was smart converted by Young. With Liverpool losing 2 games (Last season they just lost 2 games).

Overall a great week for united the getting back to their best not yet but still on the verge of it as the next game is a arch rival game with Arsenal (Scored 10 goal in two games); they in full flow it would be a really open game to watch on.

Hope to see a great games ahead for United with they having the rub of the green going there way!!!

The season begins…

The season begins…what season which season… the soccer season the EPL season the football mania is begun… I am a United fan; Manchester United fan so these seasons with top guns like Ronaldo and Tevez not in the red jersey there would be a greater desire from the current squad member to prove ppl wrong; as various ppl in the football community has not given much of chance with Carlo Ancelotti coming to Chelsea and City spending like no tomorrow…but Sir Alex is Master in Siege Mentality; he will turn around things as over the years he has build teams which are gone to become great glories.

So this time round in the Community Shield which began the English season saw the two power house of English football… Manchester United and Chelsea clashed in New Wembley. As Chelsea won on Penalties but there where great goals from Nani and Rooney before going to Penalties.

Then on the First day of the season… Mostly Top team won besides Liverpool going down to Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) 2-1; United won a hard fought battle against Birmingham City which they won 1-0.

Second match against New prompted Burney’s Robbie Blake's explosive first-half volley crowned a night of high emotion to leave United bleeding with there first defeat of the season; Burnley's last league win against Manchester United came at Turf Moor in September 1968.

In other matches Chelsea and Liverpool register wins against Sunderland and Stoke City respectively.

I will be Updating on each matches for United hopefully as the try to retains the EPL title this season with additions to different trophies as well…

Love Aaj Na Kal....


Love Aaj Kal … really a great line for any movie to become a talk of the town and same goes with this Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone Starrer movie… Me going or ppl like me going for this movie the only encouragement was that this movie was of Imitaz Ali who gave really good movies like Socha Na Tha and Jab we Met… all the three movies are having the same concept of LOVE but the treatment given to the above two and the latest are different the character in the previous two where really refreshing… Abhay, Ayesha and Shahid and Kareena where awesome and great to watch with there performance…

Love Aaj Kal wasn’t a bad movie but the fuss made in the media and with lot of expectations from Imitaz (as writer & Director) where Huge, as he giving 2 hit movie thus ppl like me turn out to the theatre to see Love Aaj Kal

Myself with my office colleague went to see Love Aaj Kal on 1st August 09, in Hub Mall, in beginning had some trouble on the ticket counter as they stating that the tickets have already been collected by some one else…but eventually got those tickets…

Love Aaj Kal begins with this refreshing dialogue Saif Ali Khan walks up to the beautiful Deepika Padukone and starts nervously, “Mai pile on nahin karne chahta …”. A clear eyed Deepika answers “Phir kyon pile on kar rahe ho?”, and then smiles. and it was really not a gripping one in end, the only good thing or to say better things which I felt was the songs and there was really good performance of the lead characters…some of the dialogues where different such as "These Heer-Ranjha, Romeo-Juliet type janam janam ka saath (together in this life & the next ones) type couples exist only in story books," from Jai…Then Veer Singh stands under a tree and swears that "is janam mein aur har janam mein... yehi meri votti banegi — Harleen Kaur."("In this life & any others after this one... she will be my one true love - Harleen Kaur.")


Overall Love Aaj Kal is still rather enjoyable and once a watch movie it has more than it's fair share of nice moments. So while the whole doesn't match up to the sum of its parts, I still recommend ppl to watch Love Aaj Kal. Just remember to leave Jab We Met at home.
