MILAN VS MANCHESTER UNITED, San Siro - Milan
2007-05-02 10:20:00
First Leg Man U VS Milan 3:2.Milan only needs to win 1-0 or 2-1 to go to the final, but the word only seems to undermine Man United capacity to pull a surprise in Milan tonight.Milan will miss the service of Paolo Maldini for the second leg.Genaro Gatusso will be joining the team in the mid field along with Seedorf, Ambrossini, Kaka. and Pirlo. Super Pippo will likely play as the lone striker, while the back four consists of Oddo, Khaladze, and Jankulovski.The brilliance of the managers is much needed tonight to concoct the correct formula of a winning team. Ancelloti has described reaching to Final in Athens as Utopian Dream.quote"Back in the autumn, Milan were languishing at the wrong end of Serie A. A league points deduction and a shortened pre-season had affected form and confidence; Athens looked a long way off. Now, though, the resurgent Rossoneri stand third in the table and one match away from booking their third final in five years. "At the start of the season I said that g...

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMIFINAL
2007-04-25 11:47:00
CHELSEA VS LIVERPOOL - Stamford Bridge, LondonA very intriguing match to predict, this one. Yesterday, I wrote a bit on the four managers of the semifinalists. I wish to dwell further into the blues manager, Jose Mourinho a.k.a the special one.Mourinho is probably one of the most controversial manager of the modern football. Whatever speeches or commentaries he made would surely shrouds with controversies. I.e this morning edition of the mirrors:quote" Bitter Jose slurs Rafa?s Kop record Jose Mourinho last night taunted managerial rival Rafa Benitez: if I had your record, I would have been sacked by now. The Chelsea boss reopened hostilities with Liverpool ahead of tonight's Champions League semi-final with a bitter blast against Benitez. In an amazing whinge, Mourinho blasted the Kop gaffer's failure to win the Premiership title since he took over at Anfield three years ago.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - SEMIFINAL
2007-04-24 10:29:00
Prologue: The C.L semifinals leaves us with the cream of the crops of the tournament. I personally think these are the best 4 teams and managers in Europe of the moment. Sir Alex Ferguson & Man U has forged a formidable team that demands respect and awe at the same time. Starting with his class of 1991 that consists of young players with abundant talents: Giggs, Scholes, Neville brothers & Beckham. Achieving series of success in the 90's that was only appropriate to call it their decade (as 80's was to Liverpool). His resume is filled with flying colors (remember the unforgettable treble of '99), need I say more? Carlo Ancelloti with Milan had lifted the trophy in the all Italian Final against Juventus, where they won the over penalty shootout back in 2003. Lots of scoffs and cynicism had been said about Milan after the Caciopolli Scandal, but Ancelloti had turned the tide around and show the kind of mentality that this team has. Coming from a 2-2 draw and goes to win 2-0 win...

WEEKEND FOOTBALL COMMENTARIES
2007-04-23 08:06:00
A friend asks me what exactly do I mean by boogey? I guess what I wanted to say was bogey, sorry about that.I learn the term from bogey-man, a kind of urban legend, which means that whatever the legend is, it's not necessarily true but the impression is there. The application of the word in my writing was to impose that Man U has often faced difficulties facing Boro (same case with Newcastle to Chelsea) and there's something inexplicable (unknown) in this sense which in short like the bogey-man in the urban legend.I know this has nothing to do with football, but please bear with me to explore a bit on this bogey (night/team) theory.I will give you an analogy and it goes like this. Not far from where I lived, there's this old bridge that goes all the way back to the colonial times (somewhere in the 18th century I guess). Legend has it that the spirit of a young woman haunts the bridge for she was murdered there. And according to the same legend, if you are passing by that road whe...

They had won away on the second leg of the Champions League away to Valencia 2-1, which means they are in the Semi finals to face Liverpool.Chelsea may have a shot for a quadruple this season, since they already have the Carling cup.A chance to win the F.A cup if they beat Blackburn and then Man U.A chance to Win the Premier League title if they beat Man U at Stamford Bridge and keep winning the rest of the season and Man U slips on one of the remaining games. 3 points is the gap between the two at the moment.A chance to win the Champions League if they could pass the hard test (Li...

Watford Vs Man U (Villa Park, Birmingham - Saturday)Here's the hypothesis:If A is bigger than B and B is Bigger than C, Therefore A must be greater than C. Correct?Take the above equation and apply to last 2 EPL games of Watford (A) and Man U (C) involving Portsmouth (B) Watford beats Portsmouth 4-2 last Monday and Portsmouth beats Man U 2-1, does that mean Watford will beat Man U?????? ha..ha I wish it would be that simple.But the answer is "not necessarily". The equation is only correct if it involve quantity or a static number, but football is anything static or quantifiable for that matter.Too many variables in the human emotions and in the sport itself to actually define the outcome.Anyway, I will continue with a different hypothesis...yes about this game.Watford reached the semifinals of the F.A cup beating Westham 1:0 away, ipswich 1:0 at home and away to Plymouth 1:0. All win have been by a 1:0 scoreline.On the other side, Man U has to go the hardway to get to the semifinal...

Apart from Van De Sar, Van Persie (Arsenal) would also be sidelined for this game due to foot injury. Although Van Persie has contributed much in the past games and greatly missed, Holland still have lots of attacking power in Dirk Kuyt (Liverpool), Arjen Robben (Chelsea), Jan K Huntelaar + Ryan Babel (Ajax), Danny K (AZ).
