For a few weeks now people have been saying the title race was over. I didnt think so – its not over till its over!!! However its almost certain now with United 5 points clear of Chelsea with 3 games to go. If we beat City next weekend and then Chelsea dont beat Arsenal the next day we are champions. I watched the match in the pub which had both games on at the same time (Everton v United, Chelsea v Bolton) – I was looking left and right to the different screens all the time! At half time it wasnt looking good with United 1-0 down (and not playing well) and Chelsea winning.

However it was a great performance in the 2nd half from United finishing the game 4-2 – also some help from their keeper which kick started the comeback and also the equaliser from ex-United player Philip Neville. There was a great goal from Rooney and also from Chris Eagles. (When Rooney scored he celebrated infront of the Everton fans jumping up and down and kissing the badge – bet that made him popular!!! He is a red now!! ) The United celebrations were brilliant – however Fergie still doesnt look right when he celebrates and started jumping about.

There is a great pic I have seen which sums it all up – the ball in the net and Philip Neville holding his head in his hands.

The Chelsea game finished 2-2. Thanks to Bolton and Philip Neville!!! When he scored the pub started singing a Neville song:

Philip Neville is a red, is a red, is a red
Philip Neville is a red, he hates scousers

At the end of the United match when we were counting down the clock Rooney started show-boating and showed some great ‘Joga Bonita’ skill:

The OC recently ended. They stopped making any more because the ratings were dropping in the US. I think some people stopped watching it when Marissa died. Personally I never really liked the Marissa character.

Also the previous series the standard did drop abit but the most recent series was very good. It was one of my favourite tv shows I its a shame its on no more

There is however some (possible) good news. There could be a spin-off involving the Seth character. It wont quite be the same but Seth was one of the most popular characters. He was the geek who got the hot girl!! Hehe. Lets wait and see what happens – the last spin off from one of my favourite shows (Friends) – Joey – didnt do too well. It did rubbish in the ratings and critics didnt like it. I thought it was quite good – it had its moments but certainly not as funny as Friends.

Here is an American Idol parody. I assume its from The Simpsons movie which is out this summer

Some great quotes from Cantona He has praised the club for helping Ronaldo after his controversial summer.

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has heaped praise on his former club for the way they have helped Cristiano Ronaldo.

“It’s important for the other ones that they know that if they have a difficult moment all the fans and the manager will be behind them to help them,” he added.

The weekend wasnt looking that good with United drawing against our bogie team – Middlesbrough. We drew 1-1 and there was another controversial penalty incident. O Shea bought down a Boro player. He just about touched the ball but you could say that he brought the player down before that. We scored early but then they equalised just before half time. It was just after Rio got injured. He injured his groin again and will be out for another 2 weeks. We now hardly have any defenders. We have been quite lucky with injuries this season with injuries spread evenly throughout team. Now all the injuries are in defense. Our game against Milan will have defence of Fletcher, Brown, O Shea and Heinze.

Thankfully Chelsea also drew. There was a controversial penalty incident again. Moanrinho is back to his usual self complaining that there are different rules for United etc. Knowing the FA they will do nothing.

A lot of people such as The Sun and ppl like Moanrinho have been going on about how they are never penalties awarded against United However in The Times’ “The Game” pull-out recently there were some interesting stats:

Penalties awarded against Man Utd at Old Trafford this season: 3
Penalties awarded against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this season: 0
Penalties awarded against Liverpool at Anfield this season: 0
Penalties awarded against Arsenal at the Emirates this season: 1

The winners of the PFA Player of the year awards were announced at the weekend. Ronaldo won both the main award and the young player of the year. Thats the first time since 1977 when Andy Gray won both awards.

The team of the years were also announced. Amazingly 8 of the 11 players were United players. Its all of our defence and 3/4 of the midfield.

The PFA Premier League Team of the Year are:
Edwin van der Sar, Gary Neville, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra (all Man Utd); Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo (all Man Utd) and Steven Gerrard (Liverpool); Didier Drogba (Chelsea) and Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham)

Not sure how Gerrard is in team of year – or even in the player of year list. He has had a poor year by his standards – a great player but not been that good this season. Essien should be in the team. Also I think Cech should be the keeper. Although he has been out for abit with his injury he has been outstanding since coming back after from the serious injury.

Messi scored a great goal for Barcelona the other day and scored an amazing goal. Played alongside Maradona’s famous goal against England it was very similar. A great goal

Here is Maradona’s goal:

Ronaldo has just signed a new 5 year deal with United but Real Madrid still say that they still get him. Give up FFS!!

One of stupidest things said in football recently and he is going to get so much stick for it.

He said he is struggled to settle in England cause of the weather and the pace of the game. Baptista told The Times: “The weather over here is killing me. We get one day of sunshine for every 30 days of rain.”The Premiership is very hard. I enjoy making clever touches but the game is so fast I don’t have time to think.”

Well sorry Baptista that the players dont stand around and let you do various tricks!!

For someone whos nickname is ‘The Beast’ hes a big wuss!!! He also commented on some of Arsenal’s rivals. “The teams from the north of England are terrible,”. “When we play them I have counted their centre-backs booting up to 30 long balls upfield per game. “The moment you stop to think, someone has taken the ball off you and knocked you to the ground.”Over here they value a corner kick more than a fancy flick. I am lucky to be with Arsenal, as they are a team that likes to play proper football.”

What an idiot!! Thats what makes the Premiership great – the fast pace.

First dance as a married couple with a difference!! Did anyone see the thing in the news a couple weeks ago about some couple who did an unusual first dancing at their wedding? They danced to Dirty Dancing – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYhlm9GTAQ0

I went on YouTube to watch it and there are some other rather interesting ones. There is a Michael Jackson thriller one (actually saw this a few weeks ago) – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjFetumImrE. It even made the news!!

Heres a Jack Johnson / MJ one which is pretty good.

A couple of my friends are getting married next month. I wonder if they have anything like this planned…..!!
