Woohoo!!

Manchester United players celebrate (Ruud, Ronaldo and Rooney) United played their first competitive match of the season against the Hungarian team Debrecen. It was the 1st leg of a Champions League qualifier. Sir Alex started with a very strong team with just 1 or 2 first team players missing. Final score was 3-0 to United.

The first part of the 1st half was very good but then it went a bit flat. The 2nd half was overall much better, although Debrecen were unlucky to have their goal disallowed.

Rooney was fantastic, Ruud took his goal well and hopefully this will give some confidence and Ronaldo was excellent!! Ronaldo was unlucky not to score on one occasion and it took a good save from the keeper. Ronaldo and Rooney have done really well in the pre-season looks like they will have a brilliant season.

Park came on for the last part of the match and once again showed he is a very good player and caused the defence a few problems.

Overall an excellent game to build confidence and set us up for the first game of the Premiership this weekend versus Everton. It also means we could field a weaker side for the 2nd leg and rest some key players and gave some younger players some European experience e.g. Rossi.

Space Shuttle

Sunday, August 7th, 2005

ShuttleThe Space Shuttle Discovery has had several problems and some problems even before it took off. They had some problem with some sensor problem, which delayed the flight, and apparently didnt find out what caused the problem when they took off a week or so later.

It appeared to be hit by foam on take off, once up in space they had a problem with the heat resistant tiles underneath and now a possible problem near the cockpit.

To fix the tiles the astronaut managed to pull the protruding tile just with his hands but just in case needed he had some DIY hacksaw :-o – not very high tech. It was made with a blade, handle and some tape!!!

They are preparing for the trip back home and just hope everything goes fine and they return back safely.

On a lighter note, this is what astronaut Stephen Robinson sais when he was fixing the tile problem – “I’m grasping it and I’m pulling it and it’s coming out very easily” Is it just me or does that sound rude!

OleMy favourite current United player is on his way back to fitness!!! He has been out for 2 years with injury but he is still one of the most loved United players at the moment and ever will be.

Man Utd story | BBC Sport story

It will be one of the greatest moments in United history to see Ole put on the United shirt again and possibly score. He has been sort a loyal player to United and will continue to do so.

“You are my Solskjaer,
My Ole Solskjaer,
You make me happy,
When skies are grey,
And Alan Shearer, Was f*cking dearer,
So Please don’t take, My Solskjaer, Away…..”
