Man Utd Rulez!


Glory Glory Man Utd!!! EPL champions for the 2006/07 season!

What a sensational season for Man Utd!

What a great performance by the whole team during the course of the gruelling season in which MU had displayed great consistency while maintaining their thrilling attacking football which had been a joy to watch! Kudos to Sir Alex Ferguson for masterminding the dethroning of proud Chelsea which had bought its way to the title for the past 2 seasons. But, Jose 'Moron' (as my bro tactlessly labelled) had upped the standards of EPL champions, as MU had exhibited this season. Given Chelsea's form this season, the title would have been theirs for the third consecutive time BUT MU comes out tops, by outlasting the ex-champions, leading the league from the start (albeit 2 weekends when Portsmouth and Chelsea momentarily led).

Am proud of the team that I had supported from 1992. Giggs, Scholes, Van der Sar and Ole had done great jobs whenever they played and their experience really shone throughout the long season. The defence had been solid (other than the last 6 weeks when MU was jinxed with its defenders, one by one, queued up for treatment, thus resulting in a shaky ECL semi-finals loss to steady Milan).

What stood out are the young blood - 2Rs (Rooney and Ronaldo) who had exceeded expectations in terms of their goal contributions; 20+ goals and still counting... Hopefully they will grow from strength to strength, building on the momentum of this season to the end of this decade! 2 more games to the official end of the EPL season and there is still the FA Cup final against Chelsea. Will the game at Stamford Bridge a dress rehearsal for the Final @ the new Wembly? May the best team win! And if that's the case, MU will (I hoPe.. haha...)

Man Utd Rulez!
