Freekick Specialist

The New Freekick Specialist - christiano ronaldo


After witnessed the superb strike by christiano ronaldo freekick against the pompey on 30th January 2008 evening. I admit it. It was a fantastic and best ever freekick he had in his soccer life so far. Even Manchester United's manager praised the young portugese winger to be one of the best freekick taker after David Beckham for the Red Devils.

What David Beckham can produced? He did it for England in the last minute to qualify for WOrld Cup 2002. This man shoud be leading the 3 Lions!!!


Please pay attention to the TIME... this is Quality, Determination and CONFIDENT


My all time favourite footballer Zinedine Zidane superb stoppage time Freekick stunned England during the Euro. The same quality and confident displayed by the all time Zizou.


Impossible curve displayed by Roberto Carlos against France in 1997.

Jose Mourinho the mastermind behind Chelsea

Jose Mourinho was an ultimate impact of Chelsea success and the mastermind behind the Blues.... Believe it or not. Yesterday we see the Blues defeated by Man United at the Old Trafford, a fair play and pretty convincing displayed by the United players like Tevez scoring the first goal for United right before the first half session crossed by Giggs and Saha tranformed the controvery spot kick that lead Man United winning 2-0 at full time.

During the service of the portugese Jose Mourinho, Alex ferguson has only won once draw 5 and loss 5 against the Blues out of the 11 meetings. A very sudden departure of Jose Mourinho after the draw with Rosenborg at Stamford Bridge last week when the board disclosed that Jose left with "mutual consent". So who do you think football maniac?? Do you want Jose Mourinho still attached with EPL??




Well, in my opinion i really want Jose Mourinho to stay with Chelsea for another few good years, his exists really contribute alot of excitements to EPL and the European Champions League. Chelsea fans like him, even the rivals fans like me (i'm Man united fan) also love him to stay. Football is not only about winning or lossing (although win is important for the club) but for us we like to watch beautiful football that display alot of skills, tactics and strategies. Even the rivals manager like Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger both praised the portugese manager and sad to see him leave the EPL.

I still clearly reminded a quote from Jose Mourinho during his interview session at ESPN sports centre last week saying that:

Jose: I love the club, I love the fans, I love Chelsea FC. If the people love me I will give 100% of my love in return. If you hate me and force me, I'll hate you and give you what you deserve.




From the above statement it was so clear that he has some bust up with the bosses on top, no support from the top management even like us working in the corporate world also feel one word "SIEN". I also will quit the company don't say he is Jose Mourinho, aren't you?

At here i wish Jose Mourinho the best of luck in all your future undertakings and hope he will return to another football club to see him in action again!!

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer retires from Manchester United

I started to learn and play football in a very late age of 20++. From there on the club I always support is Manchester United until today. I've seen the club growing from conquer the English Premier League till the Europe.

For all the years there are few players that really left so many memories to me. The hard and solid of Roy Keane, the power forward Eric Cantona, the freekick specialist David Beckham and the Baby Face Assassin Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.


Today, as usual i go through Soccernet and found out that Ole is going to retire with a bad knee injury he suffered for years. What a waste for such a talented player going to retire after 11 years of service in the club. Ole is recognised as a scoring machine and super sub for United over the years and his superb performance in the last minute of game always turn around the results. Ole brought a lot of sweet memory for Man United fans and he was never be forgetted with his famous goal for United. Besides, Ole who famously scored the winner in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich to help the club win the treble in 1999 was the sweetest among the rest.

In fact, I've nothing to say much but wish this talented Norwegian striker all the best in his future undertaking. Good Bye Ole!!!

A tribute of goals scored by the Baby Face Assassin, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer


P/S Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will remain in Man United in coaching role.

Exciting Weekend - EPL + La Liga + Serie A

This weekend football fans around the world come alive when the long awaited european leagues are all gear up where the La Liga and Serie A both in scheduled and EPL in action again.


The opening season of EPL created much upset for the favourites especially the Champion, Manchester United had been under performed so far after major signing of top players from other major leagues in Europe like the inclusion of Nani, Anderson, Owen Hagreaves and Carlos Tevez didn't really give an impact to the team. United suffered 2 draws and 1 defeat in the opening 3 games, and yet to find the winning form. This weekend features Man United against Tottenham will be a test to the champion again to find the winning ways for the team and I'm sure Man United will grab 3 points in Old Trafford by all means. On the other hand, Premiership's leader Man City will travel to Emirates Stadium to extend the lead and Arsenal without Defender William Galas and Goalkeeper Lehmann on this weekend will receive a tough challenge from the inform City Team lead by Sven Erickson. Last weekend, derby upset against the champion Man United had boost the confident of the Man City team and Arsene Wenger once again has to prove the youth are paying the effort to survive in the Premiership and end the fairy tale run by the City team. Arsenal has to count on Fabregas, Van Persie and Helb to find the net if they want to upset the inform City.

Some wins will be foresee from Aston Villa, Newcastle, Liverpool, West Ham and Birmingham City in the weekend showdown.


Well, from England let's move to Italy. Juventus, Genoa and Napoli promoted back to Serie A certainly will create some upset this season. The curtain raising Italian Super Cup between Inter Milan and AS Roma had once again proved that the excitement of Calcio where AS Roma defeated Inter by one goal to nil. This season no team is on minus point and welcome the previous contender of Serie A, Juventus lead by Claudio Ranieri will once again challenge for the title and looking forward to qualify for Europe by end of the season. Claudio Ranieri helped Parma to avoid relegation last season move to Juventus to give the top flight a challenge.

Some wins will be foresee from promoted teams in Serie A.


The La Liga will kick off this weekend and the curtain raising Spain Super Cup between Real Madrid and Sevilla had see the weakness in defence displayed by Real Madrid once again when they stumbled to Sevilla by 5-3. Real Madrid had removed Fabio Cappelo this season and included a list of players like Arjen Rubben, Gariel Heinze, Javier Saviola, Wesley Sneijder and many more to defend the title. On the other hand, Barcelona had captured the service of Arsenal's star Thiery Henry will once again challenge the title from Real Madrid where they loss on head to head count last term. The new campaign of La Liga will see the improving side from Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia to challenge the title.

Some upset from the promoted teams like Real Valladolid, Real Murcia and Almeria and wins from Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia.

New Blog

I've started another blog for my daughter. Yes you can visit it at My Baby Sara

From today onwards, there will be no post on baby in gossip with david. Gossip with David will resume the normal gossip about football, entertainment and anything from the sky.

So this weekend, where you putting your penny in? United and Spurs will definitely grab 3 points after a recent slump in the new campaign of Premiership. The new season of EPL kicked off on the 11th August 2007 and we see quite a number of upset on the first game of EPL new season. With the inclusion of new players and managers in all Premier League club the most outstanding clubs for the opening week were Manchester City, Sunderland, Reading, Derby and Newcastle.

Sunderland lead by Roy Keane (Manager) from the Championship League last season to win a come back in the Premiership upset Tottenham in the opening match with a solid defence and a last minute goal which gained them a solid 3 points ahead of the new campaign in the Premiership.

Manchester City and Newcastle lead by the new managers in charged never disappoint the fans and gained 3 points both defeat West Ham and Bolton away from home.

The most surprised pacakge came from Reading and Derby. Both work very hard on the pitch to draw with champion Manchester United and Portsmouth respectively. Reading displayed a rock defence against the champion and never give up even they are down to 10 men at the last 10 minutes of the game. Manchester United attacking wasn’t effective enough in the entire game and didn’t create much a problem for Reading defence.

Manchester United slump

Manchester United summer spending don't seem to be favaorable for Alex Ferguson team. Subsequent to the inclusion of Anderson, Nani, Owen Hagreaves, Tevez for the preparation to defend their title this season, the champion was upset again yesterday away at Fratton Park and C. Ronaldo was sent off from the pitch.



A disappointed opening campaign for the champion, Manchester United has loss its pace, drawing consecutive games both home and away to Reading and Portsmouth. With a handful of talented strike force, creative midfielders and solid defence the champion once again playing the worst football in their opening matches collecting 2 points and lying at midtable now. What a shameful display and my heart aching...

The new campaign of EPL had created much surprises too especially for Manchester City and Sunderland. Well, the worst performance team should be Tottenham and Manchester United. Tottenham spending about 40 million pound not yet secure a win so far and seating at the bottom of the Premiership and Manchester United drawing both games.

However, it is only the opening matches and do not forget there are still 36 matches to go for all clubs. I believe this weekend Manchester United and Tottenham will grab 3 points from their respective game.
