Manchester United FC and their chances

People forget Manchester United won the English Premier League (EPL) last year… until Aguero netted, that is.

They achieved that without captain Vidic, without Fletcher  (in my opinion he had developed into more than just “doing a job” for Sir Alex Ferguson SAF), without Cleverley and his protracted injury woes, with a Nani that’s stellar performances… which were few and far between, with Anderson that never reached the Brazilian promise we all expected and finally with Evra that probably had his worst season in the red of Manchester.

Granted Rooney, Valencia, Carrick, Ferdinand & Scholes (when he played) was the back bone of Manchester United's "success" last term and the boy Danny over achieved, where some would say he stepped up to the plate.

Manchester United should never have gotten so close in the end, as the blue half of Manchester should have walked away with the EPL, but they did and it should be noted without an influx of Sheikh Mansours' millions (of talented stars).

The new additions Kagawa & Powell excite me, the latter with an eye on the future (who knows maybe this year) and Shinji has been a revelation in pre-season with his presence in the mid-field his vision his touches, can only bode well for the attacking prowess at United's disposal. Robin Van Persie's acquisition needs mention and all I have to say on him is that in my opinion United do not need him to bolster our attack with the likes of Rooney, Dimitar, Welbeck, Chicharito & Macheda, but RVP will bolster our squad.


Manchester United knows how to win EPL titles and hates to lose them and I don’t expect them to lose it again this term.

People talk about Bounce-Back-Ability and United installs (or should I say SAF does) that in all their teams in fact only Mourinho's Chelsea have won back-to-back EPL titles 04/05 & 05/06 (with Arsenal the year before 03/04) since inception in 1992 and we know winning the second title in a row is the hardest or in United's case the third or fourth title.

What happens if Manchester United win the Europa League & finish in the top four?

  Due to Champions League qualification clubs are now looking more favourably at the Europa League competition.  So Manchester United will naturally be gunning for glory as they take on Celta Vigo in their semi final.   If however, they win the tournament and finish the English Premier League in the top four, England will have just the four teams in Europe’s elite competition. What I find more interesting is if Manchester United win the Europa League and finish outside the top four! Should this scenario occur, England will have FIVE entrants to the Champions League, rather than four – with United joining the top four Premier League clubs.   There are a host of different scenarios as to who will be in Europe's second tier next season. For starters, the Premier League's fifth-placed club - should United not win the Europa League AND finish outside the top four - will go into the pot.   Then there's the EFL Cup - or League Cup - winners... however that ...

The Premier League changes its logo.

The most lucrative football league in the world, The English Premier League (EPL), yesterday unveiled its new official logo, which will be used from the 2016-17 season onwards. The division's lion icon has been the face of England's top flight since its launch in 1992 but has undergone a makeover to give it a fresh, modern look. It means, EPL is ending its 12-year association with Barclays bank and will from now on be known simply as ‘the Premier League’. The new logo – has a crowned lion’s head gazing to the right, accompanied by either the words ‘Premier League’ or ‘PL’ -- will replace the current logo of a lion with its left paw on a football. All 20 clubs in the top flight have also agreed a new centralised sponsorship strategy, meaning the league will no longer have a named sponsor. “From next season we will move away from title sponsorship and the competition will be known as the Premier League, a decision which provided the opportunity to consider how we wanted ...

Arsene Wenger v Jose Mourinho: The history of their rivalry in quotes

A must read by Adams Bate of Skysports news, The war of words between Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger goes on and on. While the Manchester United boss has generally had the upper hand on the pitch over the years, both managers have had stern words for each other in the press room. Here we recall their rivalry in quotes, dating back to Mourinho's first season in English football... "I don't see especially that Chelsea play more English players than we do. Who have they produced, homegrown? Just one, John Terry." - Wenger in 2005 when quizzed on Arsenal's all-foreign line-up. At the beginning of the following season in August 2005, Wenger also expressed concerns over Chelsea's tactics: "I know we live in a world where we have only winners and losers, but once a sport encourages teams who refuse to take the initiative, the sport is in danger." Mourinho was unimpressed. "Wenger has a real problem with us and I think he is what you ca...
