Champions League

Manchester United take 1-0 lead and Giggs 800th appearance.

Early this morning is quite wonderful. Manchester United truly dominance against Arsenal and take the lead in Champions League semi final 1st leg. Although its quite frustated to see Manutd only manage to win 1-0 in the match that we should win by more than 3 goals but a win is a win!!… Thanks O’Shea for the goal!

Manchester United take a 1-nil lead into the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, after the holders failed to fully capitalise on their domination at Old Trafford.

An inspired display from Gunners goalkeeper Manuel Almunia ensured that John O’Shea’s 17th-minute strike was the only reward Sir Alex Ferguson’s side reaped from a first leg encounter they comfortably controlled.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger concedes they were outplayed, but is adamant they can turn it around. He says the positive is they are only 1-nil down and they played away home. He is convinced there will be a different Arsenal team in the second match.

Another wonderful thing about this match is to watch Ryan Giggs making his 800th appearance!
Long live Giggsy! Hopefully you can make it 1000 soon.

Ryan Giggs, the most decorated player in English football history, made his 800th appearance for Manchester United on Wednesday.

The 35-year-old midfielder extended the club’s appearance record by replacing Anderson in the 67th minute of the 1-0 victory over Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal, 18 years after making his debut in March 1991.

Giggs thought he had provided a late second goal, but as he was celebrating, referee Claus Bo Larsen ruled that he was offside when racing through and rounding Manuel Almunia.

“If you asked me when I was 19, ‘Would you be playing in a Champions League semifinal at 35?’ I would have said, ‘No,”‘ Giggs said ahead of the match. “But I look after myself and it helps when you have good players around you.”

Giggs, who is contracted to the Red Devils until June 2010, has won 10 Premier League titles, two Champions League titles, four FA Cups and three League Cups with them.

Life

David Beckham the trend setter

Men’s jewelry has long been a small, but profitable sector of the overall jewelry industry. For centuries, those on the masculine side of the gender divide have chosen quality tie tacks, watches and rings from the collections of a few excellent designers. But in recent years the men’s jewelry landscape has changed considerably.

David Beckham, ex-Manchester United star player who is now a resident of Los Angeles, has contributed significantly to the popularity of men’s jewelry in the past couple of years. Beckham changed the men’s jewelry map by wearing two diamond earrings. Because of his status as a celebrity, other men saw that wearing jewelry, including earrings, was not only OK, but also a strong statement of individuality. This small act was just the first indication that this world-class athlete also possessed a certain boldness on the social scene.

Beckham created a scene of sorts at his pre-World Cup party. Beckham put an beautiful diamond-encrusted watch on the block at his charity auction, attracting attention with the display of this dazzling item.

The days of men wearing a nice watch and perhaps a well-designed ring are quickly turning into days of additional gold neck chains, one or more earrings, and other excellent jewelry accessories for men only.

Platinum and titanium has being widely used in mens’ jewelry especially as wedding ring. Titanium Wedding Band Rings with multiple diamonds are growing in popularity, as are earrings and other small items that discreetly announce the man’s membership in this growing group. Jewelry designers and jewelry suppliers are taking notice, helping to fan the flames of the mens’ jewelry trend.
