Manchester United Retains Premier League Title.

Manchester United have beaten Wigan Athletic 2-0 thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and late strike from record breaker, Ryan Giggs that equaling a milestone left by Sir Bobby Charlton with 758th United appearance to secure the Premier League title.

In the end Chelsea drew 1-1 with Bolton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge so United win the league by two points.

For the Reds, it’s a tenth Premier League title and a 17th league championship, one adrift of Liverpool, who Ferguson has vowed to overtake..

And for my favorite player, Ryan Giggs, he is not only equaling Sir Bobby Charlton record, he also increased his EPL title records with 10 titles overall.

Congratulations to the Reds!!!

One down, one to go…

EPL - Exciting match but surely not for United fan

Barclays Premier League
Stamford Bridge, Sat 26 April 2008

CHELSEA 2
Ballack (45+1, 86 pen)

MANCHESTER UNITED 1
Rooney (57)

It is hard for me to accept the defeat last night. I am looking for a draw after seeing how Chelsea played for their life. They keep running and running…pressing and pressing because the defeat last night means that giving the title to United. It is pretty weird to see such a match like that because normally when 2 big team such as Chelsea and United meet, they will play safe.

After Ballack scored Chelsea’s first goal… I still confident that United will strike back because they always do that although it is quite clear that Chelsea dominate most of the time. Then, when Rooney strike….yeah…I believe that it will end 1-1 and United chance to retain the Premier League title seems brighter.

However, its unbelievable childish mistake by Carrick that gives the penalty in the end of full time to Chelsea that makes me really mad. Ohh..goshhh…

I watched this match alone at my house. It is a very very exciting match that makes me sweat a lot. I sweat not because of Malaysia high humidity but the way United play. As always.. I always sick every time I see Nani play. He tried to be another Ronaldo..but he always loose the ball easily.

Since, there are still 2 more matches to play. It seems that United still got better chance to retain the title because they will only meet the team like West Ham and Wigan in their last 2 matches.

So, next…may be.. I have to buy a humidifier to make sure I am not sweat again while watching United next match!!

EPL, My Manutd

The dream of retaining Premier League title almost come true!

Barclays Premier League
Old Trafford, Sun 13 April

MANCHESTER UNITED 2
Ronaldo (pen) 54, Hargreaves 72

ARSENAL 1
Adebayor 48

I do agree with Sir Alex…watching Manchester United vs Arsenal last night was a really “mind torturing”!! …especially in the first half. I just can’t stop my finger from changing from channel to channel in every 5 minutes because it is quite stressful. Luckily, there is no goal from the Gunners in the first half.

When the second half started with Adebayor goal, I just shut down my TV and go straight to bed!! I am pretty sure that it will end 0-1 and United might losing some valuable points!! The fact that Adebayor use his hand for that goal really makes me sicker!

But then I received SMS from Maxis that said…United leveled by another Ronaldo penalty kick!! That SMS wake me up and I once again end up in front of the TV. Thanks to Gallas that gives another penalty to Manchester United!! ( He must be United’s fan in disguise )

That goal changing the flow of the match quite instantly. United take control of the match really well and finally when Hargreaves scored that wonderful free kick… I just take my hand phone and ready to SMS all my Arsenal’s fan just too hurt their feeling..hahahaha..
But..yeah..it is already mid night.. I don’t think that is a good time to bother them and their family. Furthermore…”esok masih ada…( I still have tomorrow..)”

With that important goal, Arsenal surely out of the title challenge for this season. This year title must be between United and Chelsea. Arsenal was behind by 9 points with only maximum 12 points up for grab! It is quite impossible for Arsenal to catch United or even Chelsea.

Chelsea never lose at Stamford Bridge for almost 4 years now… maybe this year is the best time for them too lose and United will hurt them more by retaining the Premier League title at Stamford Bridge!

I can smell the victory….Oh YEAH!
