Born United, Live United Die United

Last Season proved to be a great one for all the United Fans as well as the neutrals because of the competitive nature of EPL, shocks of FA Cup and drama in the champions league. On two grounds United proved too good for the rest and in the FA cup bad refereeing cost us the game against pompeys but credit to Portsmouth they played their heart out and moved a huge step forward. Harry proved once again he is a great manager and under him i can see pompeys moving only in one direction and that is forward.
New Season is about to start in a few days times, and few pundits made liverpool favourites to win the title. I am still wondering, what were they thinking was that the Keane-Torres factor? If that is the case then this is not happening. Rest of the big four do have that level of class in their ranks, plus they have a better cover on the bench. Look at Chelsea they have Anelka, Drogba, Kolou, Shevchenko (not performing but has been a class act). Arsenal has Adebayor, Van Persie, Walcott, Bendtner and Eduardo to come back soon. United has Rooney, Tevez, Campbell, Saha (migh stay/ might not) and one big name is on his way to Theater of Dreams. Plus Ronaldo factor who played more as a striker than a winger last season.
No one can deny that, league can be won just by scoring or only by scoring against one and messing it up against other. You have to do it consistently slip ups are not affordable in EPL anymore. Tottenham scored 66 goals in the league last season but still managed to finish at 11. Why? because they conceded 61 goals.... 61.. man that's a sin.
As far as contenders for the league are concern i will agree with the bookmakers United and Chelsea are very close but you can't write off Arsenal. Gunners played really well last season but did lack experience at the business end of the season. But as the squad is getting older they would have learn their lesson. But as far as liverpool is concern best of luck to their supporters but i can't see them a real threat to other three.... why i am saying so... due to their great manager Rafa and his so called rotation policy. Their is nothing wrong with rotating the squad every manager does rotate his squad but nobody screw with the core of the system but Rafa is special he does and i am sure he will.
But whatever happens one thing is for sure we are about to witness another great season of football.

All hail United!!
The glory will continue no matter what crap Rafa's pulling out of his crocky hat or the fact that Pompey's got the sheer bit of luck against us for once or the Spurs are playing hot n spicy.. We don't get threatened by any of this and this time the season's gonna end on a definite blistering happy note for us 'The Red Devils!'
Not 1 nor it's gonna be 2 but only this time we are aiming high baby! 'THE TRIO' we did that back in 99 and yet we will do it yet again and shut the big fat critic's mouth!!

just got your blog's link from arbab bhia.. good to see you blogging... good luck!

you are right about liverpool ..rafa will once again shoot himself in the foot by rotating players and playing gerrard on the right.. ronaldo is the key for united..if he is the same player he was last season, it will be tough to stop united.. with big phill in charge chelsea might play football for a change this season.. and they have a big chance.. Gunners need one experienced midfielder in Flamini's role and fair refereeing otherwise it won't be their year

you say tottenham conceded 61 and thats a sin....:D thats 61 sins.. but im not coomplaining.. unless juande ramos strengthens his defence..they will still be playing UEFA cup next season..

in the words of david beckham, attacking players get all the praises but its the defence that wins you matches..

happy blogging and sorry for a large comment...it just came fluently :D

I agree with the above post and definitely Ronaldo's going to be the key once again if he continues his tremendous form..
But still i'd say United is not about one player alone.. It's the team that matters and we do have a great team put up together.. Rumours about Berbatov coming in the squad is gonna make a noticable difference but again m going to press on the word 'TEAM'.. If we could continue our already hammering form then i'd say nothing can stop us from advancing! Cheers!
