So Ronaldo has finally admited he wants to go to Real Madrid. Shocker!! I am sick and tired of Ronaldo’s antics. Yes, yes, I know. All southern Europeans want to play for Real (zzzz!). I don’t care. Let them have him. They are made for each other. I for one would be relieved to see the end of the story.

As a Man Utd fan, I want to see guys out on the pitch that want to play for the club, giving their all for the shirt and the fans. Now I know that most footballers are only loyal to themselves and the almighty dollar. However, players like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville give hope that there are still some players in the game that have some class. As much as I have enjoyed watching Ronaldo this last few years, I always knew it would end in bitter divorce and acrimony, sooner rather than later. Let’s take the money and invest it in some new talent, rather than a long, drawn out feud that will do more harm than good. So I say thanks to Ronaldo for the entertainment, goals and most of all the Champions League trophy (although I should really thank John Terry!).

Good luck with Real, Ron. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

It has been a long, long season for Man Utd supporters with its fair share of ups and downs. However, this has undoubtably been one of the greatest seasons I have experienced. The quality of the football this year has been fantastic and its been a priviledge to watch the best player in the world score an unbelievable 42 goals. The defense has been immense too and really provided the perfect foundation for the success. To win the Premier League for the second year running and to top it off with the Champions League is a great achievement. It is the perfect tribute to the Busby Babes, 50 years on from that tragic night in Munich and 40 years on from the first European win. This team will surely now go down in history as one of Man Utds best ever. Hopefully they will stay together and go on to have more successes over the next few years.

Congratulations to Fergie and the boys and thanks for the wonderful memories of 2008.

So the first all-English European Champion’s League final will see Man Utd face Chelsea in Moscow on the 21st May.  Both clubs are sitting on equal points in the English Premier League with 2 games to play.  Its going to be a fantastic climax to a great season. 

PS. If you don’t speak Russian, the title says: Come on the Reds!

Well United had one hand on the Premiership title. If only we had beaten Blackburn! In fairness, they were really up for it and I was happy to come away with a point in the end. So what does this mean for the title? It means United have a three point lead with 9 points to play for, including Chelsea (our nearest challengers) next away from home. In reality though, the fact that United have a superior goal difference means United can lose to Chelsea, win our last two games and still pick up the title, but lets not go there!  Hopefully we can get away with at least a draw on Sunday to make it really tough for Chelsea. As Middlesborough and Blackburn have shown, the matches against the so called lesser teams aren’t always a forgon conclusion. So we are going to be on the edge of our seats right until the last day.

Well I always thought it was going to be a tough game at home to Arsenal, especially after them being kicked out of Europe by Liverpool in midweek. When we went 1-0 down thanks to an obvious handball I thought it wasn’t going to be our day.

Super Sunday has come and gone (almost) and it looks like Man Utd were the outright winners on the day. We gave our fiercest rivals a good drubbing (3-0) but it really should have been 5-0 with Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez all wasting great chances. I have to admit I wasn’t expecting such an easy afternoon agains’t Gerrard and Torres. No doubt most Pool supporters will blame the ref and the sending off but I don’t think it really mattered - they just didn’t compete and never really look like they would threaten us.

We now have a 5 point gap at the top with 7 games to play. There are some tough games ahead with Arsenal at home and Chelsea away so its too early to break open the bubbly. Arsenal have really blown it lately and Chelsea have stolen 2nd spot from under their noses. They have been quietly plugging away since Mourinio was axed and are a real threat in the run in. The game at the Bridge is going to be crucial.

Tonight I had the pleasure of watching Cristiano Ronaldo overtaking the great George Best’s 32 goal haul in a single season with 8 league games still to go! Having missed the Best era, watching Ronny is probably the closest I will ever get to seeing that sort of genius in the flesh. His speed, skill, strength and determination combine to make the ultimate footballer. With the 50th anniversary of the Munich Disaster and the 40th anniversary of our first European victory, what better way of celebrating the history and tradition of the greatest club in world football (ok I may be slightly biased). As he marches towards the end of the season, personal accolades will surely come and I wouldn’t bet agains’t Portugal in the Euros this summer. Hopefully, he can emulate Best and give us the European trophy we have been waiting for and then being crowned World Footballer of the Year will surely be a formality. Come on the Reds!
