Man United Players Celebrating

Saturday 0 - 0 results was enough to see Manchester United lift the trophy for the 18th time in history and equalling Liverpool's record in the EPL. 

Man United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson

Their manager Sir Alex Ferguson is already targeting more, "The great challenge now is to try to win next year because that would be something special," he said.  "It would be a 19th league title and give us special place in history".  

Ryan Opinion : Well first of all Congrats to Manchester United for winning the EPL this year but I believe next year would be a difficult year for them because Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool will bounce back from their dissapointing season this year.  I strongly believe that they won't win next season but we will see ;)

Andres Iniesta Heart Breaker!

Sports

So yesterday I slept early(2:40am) and I didn't manage to watch the Barcelona vs Chelsea match. Then I was rudely awaken by one of my friends SMS stating "looks like Chelsea going to the finals". So guess my prediction was wrong(guessing Barcelona would advance) until i log onto http://goal.com/en-us/ and i was shock to see "Blowing Up The Bridge". Looks like my friend didnt watch till the end as Andres Iniesta scored in the 94 minutes allowing Barcelona to progress into the CPL final due to away goals.

I was so damn happy to hear that(Sorry Chelsea Fans) they won because I know Barcelona can kick Man United ass in the finals! ;)

Final score : Chelsea 1 - 1 Barcelona

Ryan Man Of The Match : Andres Iniesta


Scored the late goal to break Chelsea Heart

Manchester United Storms Into The CPL Final

Sports

Just to please my Man United readers, I got to admit the better team won last night and the scoreline says it all Man United 3 - 1 Arsenal.  

                         (Park 8, CR7 11, 61 - Vpersie 76)

Two early quick goals in the 8 and 11 minutes killed the game off before it even started.  MU has one of the best defence in the world and there no chance, NO CHANCE that Arsenal can score 4 goals against them .  

Switched off my Tv during half time and with dissapointed I went to bed knowing all hope is lost and will wait for next season, hoping for a better year. (Arsenal Fan here)

Well all the best to MU, though i would love to see Barcelona lift the trophy (Thierry Henry!) . The winner of tonight game Barcelona vs Chelsea(2:45am MAS time) will meet MU in Rome comes May 27.

Ryan Man Of The Match : Cristiano Ronaldo (Man United) 

Assist the first goal(Park), scored the 2nd and killed the game off with the third

Where Amazing Happens

Sports

So finally the NBA Playoff is down to the semi-finals for both conference. 

The West : Rockets Vs LA Lakers / Dallas Vs Denver

The East  :    Hawks Vs Caveliers / Magics Vs Celtics

Recap from the quarter finals :

• Caveliers still remain the only unbeaten team in the Playoffs
• Celtics(Bulls) and Hawks(Heats) both had to win game 7 to advance to the semis
  
• Game 6 of Celtics vs Bulls was the most watch quarter-final game.
• Lebron James(Caveliers) currently the leading scorer averaging 32 points a game.

One Goal Advantage For Man United

Sports

Man United capitalized on a set piece to give them a 1-0 victory over Arsenal after the First League of the Semi-Finals in the Champions League.

A moment of brilliance when Micheal Carrick lobs the ball over everyone and into 3 unmarked United players which John O Shea was the first one to responce and blasted it high above the net to give United the only goal of the game.


Man United basically dominated the whole game from start to finish and Arsenal to my dissapointment didn't have the ability to match up with United pace and strength. Luckily the game only ended up 1-0, so Arsenal have another shot to redeem themselves when the two teams meet again for the 2nd League at the Emirates Stadium(May 6).


Ryan Man Of The Match : Manuel Almunia



If it wasn't for him, Man United would probably score 2 or 3 more goals. Kudos to the Arsenal Goal Keeper.

Golf Talk!

Sports

So the other day I was hanging out with this bunch of golfers and I overheard one of them saying to another "Your a left-brain golfer" .

So what does that mean?

Well first of all we have to understand the human brain :

• Left brain : In charge of logic, numbers, understanding tax forms.
• Right Brain : Handles art, poetry, intution.

Very good class, so :

• L-Brain golfers are more concerned with scores, yardage, wind speed
• R-Brain golfers are more interested in the poetry of the leaves, the artistry of the bunkers.

Weakness :

• L-Brain golfers are terrible scramblers
• R-Brain golfers play too slowly

Verdict :

• L-Brain Golfers win the U.S. Open
• R-Brain Golfers win the Master

Example :

• L-Brain Golfers Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan
• R-Brain Golfers Phil Mickelson, Seve Ballesteros
• L-Brain and R-Brain = Tiger Woods (Of Course)

Ways To Improve :

• L-Brain : Go to the driving range more often
• R-Brain : Visualize great shot, Listen to jazz, Dance

So are you a Left or a Right Brain Golfer??

I think I'm both even though I don't play golf (yet)

Alot have happened in the World of Sports this weekend :

• Thongchai Jaidee claimed the Ballantine's Championship (Golf)
• Jorge Lorenzoi wins the Japanese Grand Prix (Moto Gp)
  
• Jenson Button truimphs in Bahrain Grand Prix (F1)
  
• Rafeal Nadal vs David Ferrer in Barcalona Open (Tennis)
• Cleveland Cavaliers the only undefeated team in the Playoff so far (NBA)
• Selangor crowned FA Cup Champion (Malaysia Football)

Ryan top pick would be

Manchester United beat Tottemham 5-2 in the EPL

Why? Simple, They have all but wrap up the English Premier League Title.

This weekend win moved United 3 points clear off the Table and still have a game in hand with 4 games remaining in the league. Their last four opponents are Middlesbrough, Man City, Wigan and Arsenal.

If they would have lost to Tottemham than there is still a glimmer of hope for Liverpool but today win gave United a comfortable cushion and United would probably lift the trophy when they beat Wigan away from home without needing a win against Arsenal.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

8 Goals Thriller At Anfield!!

Sports

Was it worth it to stay up and watch football(Arsenal vs Liverpoll) at 3am in the morning?

DEFINITELY YES!

Hanging out at one of our favourite mamak stall(Salim), Paul and I saw one of the most exciting matches of the season. Both team played superb attacking football and they combined to score an incredible 8 GOALS, I repeat 8 GOALS!

What made this match so interesting was goal after goal after goal. I suggest those who didn't watch the match to either find the replay or watch highlights of the game. You won't be dissapointed!

Ryan Man Of The Match : Andrey Arshavin (Arsenal) who bagged in 4 goals.

Liverpool 4 - 4 Arsenal.

(Torres 48, 72, Benayoun 56, 90 Arshavin 36, 67, 70, 90)

LIVERPOOL VS ARSENAL (3AM Malaysian Time)

VS

Sports

Venue :Anfield (Liverpool Home)
Comp :English Premier League

Both teams set to bounce back from a disappointing week,
Liverpool losing to Chelsea 4-4(7-5) in the CPL,
Arsenal crashing out to Chelsea 1-2 in the FA CUP.

What's at stake : Liverpool need all 3 points if they want to catch up with league leaders Manchester United who currently lead the league with 1 point and a game in hand while Arsenal needs three points to catch up with the rest of the pack. This should be an entertaining and interesting match to watch cause both team plays attacking football.

Arsenal : Wenger is set to start Bendtner and Eduardo up front after both Van Persie and Adebayor picked up minor injuries. Gallas will still be out together with Clichy , Djourou and Keeper Almunia.

Possible Starting XII : Fabianski , Eboue, Toure, Silvestre, Sagna - Walcott, Nasri, Fabregas, Arshavin - Bendtner, Eduardo

Liverpool : Skipper StevieG is still out with an injury, they will be banking on Torres and Alonso to set the pace for the home side.

Possible Starting XII : Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger - Mascherano, Alonso - Kuyt, Lucas, Riera, - Torres

Prediction :

Liverpool have a healthy squad compared to Arsenal which would give Liverpool the extra edge plus Liverpool had a 6 days rest compared to Arsenal who only had 2. Never the less, Arsenal looks to be in good form and will be looking to bounce back from the recent cup defeat.

Arsenal 2 - 2 Liverpool (Prediction)
Arsenal 2 - 1 Liverpool (Hoping) xD
