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??
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!!

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?

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!!!

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.

David Beckham in LA Galaxy, MLS
David Beckham featured at LA Galaxy. Photo from Soccernet
For years his service in the Catalan Club is undoubtedly value from pitch to marketing and even jersey sales, David Beckham. He is an icon in the soccer industry. But his job in europe is still unfinish from my view. I think David Beckham still have at least 2-3 good years to serve and play in Europe top leagues and the Champions League.
His remarkable come back in the squad for Real Madrid's Fabio Capello team to grasp the last few point to clinch the La Liga Champion of 2006-2007 prove he is way too much costly to be sell to LA Galaxy in the MLS. He proves to Steve McClaren of his England captain armband is still warm enought to lead England to a win in the latest European Qualyfying.
Is a waste to see David Beckham landed on this Sports Heaven the USA which soccer is only rank out of the 3 most popular sports in the country.
No more fancy freekicks, No more speedy crossing and No more screams on the street of Europe. You can see David Beckham no more in Europe. I personally want him to remain and play in Real Madrid at least, our pay TV shows live telecast for La Liga.
Good Luck David Beckham and Welcome come to LA, dude!!!

Good Bye Gunners, Welcome to Nou Camp
Thiery Henry says Goodbye Wenger and the fellow Gunners. Well, in the other end of the europe Nou Camp, Barcelona is welcoming the all time highscorer of English Premier League player Thiery Henry to the new club joining Ronaldinho, Messi and E'to to the new La Liga campaign after the summer of 2007.
Henry posturing at the Nou Camp. Photo from Soccernet
Arsenal's fans will be disappointed again in the new season of English Premier League 2007 - 2008 with the loss of their talisman Thiery Henry. As a football fans, I personally don't wish to see this happen as we have more live soccer from English Premier League compare to La Liga from Astro.
Arsenal has declined their standing in English Premier League sharply after the departured of Patrick Viera where the frenchman heading to Juventus and apparently joining Inter Milan subsequently the relegation of Juventus in 2005 season in Italy.
This year 2007, we see the talented striker of Arsenal, Thiery Henry move to spain will directly impact the attacking and style of play for Arsenal in the forth coming season. Can you rely so much on youngster Wenger? Well, I personally don't think so.
As a sportsman since I was young I knew that a team must have a play-maker that boost the team confident and motivation to go further to achieve success as a team. As my father always says "Small success you must be hardworking, Huge success you must work as a Team".
Without Thiery Henry brilliant assist and attack will Gunners be a mid-table team in the English Premier League. I don't doubt it. (Probably Lower... Ha Ha Ha...)

ENGLAND VS BRAZIL
Tonight ENGLAND VS BRAZIL international friendly game will kick off at 3:00 (Malaysia Time) or 20:00 (UK time) at the Wembley Stadium.
This time I personally favor on England national team to edge the Five Time World Cup winner - Brazil as David Beckham has recalled back in action to represent his country for this international friendly. I think both Cappelo and McClaren both regretted to drop the former England Captain for Real Madrid and England team respectively in their games. Not until lately, David Beckham has recalled to get back in action on his No. 23 Jersey for Real Madrid and the team posted a few winner in their Home and Away matches and Real Madrid top the La Liga with 2 games left.
A win tonight will definitely boost a lot of confidence (psychologiclly) for the England squad to top the European qualifying group for the Euro 2008.
VIVA ENGLAND!!!

MANCHESTER UNITED DEAL!!!
Manchester United has signed on a double deal this summer for Anderson (Brazilian) and Nani (Portugese) from FC Porto and Sporting Lisbon respectively. Besides, Owen Hargreaves is another addition from the transfer window to the Red Devils in July 2007. Good news again Manchester United!!!
The new season of English Premier League 2007 - 2008 will be very entertaining from the transfer window itself, we see 3 Manchester United players with that kind of outstanding skills display in our big screen TV. Wah!!!! Great stuff right..
The skills from C.Ronaldo, Anderson and Nina undoubtedly will create a very busy side for other EPL teams' defense. HA HA HA.... I don't fancy about anything here but indeed I'm happy to see them in action for English Premier League side at least we can see them Live on Astro. Ha Ha Ha...
Furthermore, the Live Commentator for EPL is TOP CLASS compare to the Italian (Serie A), Spanish (La Liga) and German (Bunsdeliga) League are very far behind and (Damn Lousy!!!)
Can't wait to see them in action together for RED DEVILS!!!
Nani
Anderson
Christiano Ronaldo
Manchester United when you can lift another Treble again...
I hope Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool do some good purchase during this summer transfer window to add some spice in the best league in the world English Premier League. So What are you waiting for Managers?? Keep you ass moving!!!

AC Milan vs Liverpool FC
Tonight the long waited UEFA Champions League Final 2007 will be live in more than 50 countries world wide to fans around the world could watch the dsplay of two giant football clubs AC Miln vs Liverpool FC as a repeat of Champions League Final in 2005, Istanbul. This year the UEFA Champions League Final 2007 will be displayed in Athen and for the pass few days thousands supporters from both clubs have gathered to this city to see the showdown of the Final.
As a football fan I doubt myself will not switch on my Pay TV tonight to watch the Final. Well as a pre-match discussion, this year AC Milan has been very consistent as the club faced point deduction in the beginning of the season however, with the quality and players attitude towards the game they secured a 3rd placing in Serie A after Inter Milan and FC Roma this season and qualify for next year Champions League Play-Off. AC Milan fought a wonderful come back against Manchester United on the 2nd Leg of Champions League Semi-Final and win at home with a 3-0 score aggregate of 4-2.
Liverpool has to be much cautious this time with the in-form AC Milan players like KaKa, Gattuso, Pirlo and the rest of the team. This time Liverpool could not rely on the luck of One of the most debate come back where Liverpool displayed in the Final of 2005. Liverpool fought a wonderful come back from 3 goals behind AC Milan and equalised the game from goal scorer Gerard, Alonso and Smicer and eventually won on penalty kick and lift the title back to the Merseyside. The boring semi-final against Chelsea will be a history and the Final infront of you. Liverpool could you be the jinx against an in-form AC Milan.
I personally favourite on AC Milan. So, let's see the outcome of tonight Final.

3 LIONS
3 English Premier League teams in the 1st Leg of UEFA Champions League semi final. Will there be a all England final display?
After I watched the replay of yesterday game Manchester United edged AC Milan (3-2)and I believe Mancheser United has the quality to send the Italian packing on the second leg. Tonight, Chelsea vs Liverpool will put up another good show for audience who stays late in Asia to watch this 2 power house clashed against each other 2 years ago in the semi final again. Supporters are advise to smoke less during the game and beers are welcome!!!
Enjoy watching football fans!!!

Friendly Game
Yesterday I went for a friendly soccer game @ Shah Alam, Panasonic Stadium. I think I have been out about 2 years never played in such a big pitch a bit nervous but yet feel excited.
The game was full of fun that even our team was trashed 7-3 but it is another good experience for me as I only knew 2 of the member in our team and the rest are just strangers to me but we still manage to play more or less a team. (Normally friendly game isn't that friendly and always end up with unhappy incidents. You know what I mean)
No mutual understanding of team work has established but I think through this visit I will join them for the coming games and I truly believe we will play better.
The process of the game is just like work or our life we are looking forward to score but eventually we failed. Just like work we intend to spend time for the work and it didn't reward. But never Give Up. Let the passion moves. Don't fear about failure as everyone learn from mistakes or pass. This is merely a comparison to our life.
So next time if you are require to do something that is no reward or return just do it from your heart you will definitely do better. Always remember don't look for self interest but see the overall picture. You will be much happier.
