MY TOP 5
Ryan Joseph Giggs
D.O.B: 29th November 1973
Nationality: GB/ Wales
City of Birth: Cardiff, Wales
Weight: 68Kg/10st 10lb
Height: 180cm/5ft 11in
Position: Midfield/winger
Debut date: 02 March 1991
The player that caught my eyes when i just started following united back in 1992-93.
I saw him doing his dribble past two or three players against Arsenal if im not mistaken and i asked dad,
who is he to which dad told me he is Giggs. Never knew his full name until i heard the commentator one day called him Ryan Giggs.
Eversince then, i will always look out for him and look forward to see him in every matches. What do i know, I only realized lately
that ive been doing that for 15 years or so now!
I fear for the day he would called it quits. Being soooo used to watching him every week for a long time,
his sudden disappearance will be a HUGE blow to me. I dont even have to imagine that to know how i would feel, i can actually feel it now everytime when i talk about it.
Every new season, as much as i am looking forward to a new adventure, a little part of me will have the thought will this be his last season? I know players come and go, even
Sir Alex Ferguson will leave us one day too (that will be a bigger heartbreak thou) but its just hard to take.
Witnessing his development, from being a magnificent winger to a stand in central midfielder as age catches up. 11 Premiership Medals, 2 European Cups and many many more
accolades, how can anyone not make him an idol? And all these he achieved while playing for the only one club!And no, no red card as well! I dont care if people called me bias but he dont deserved any criticism
no matter how bad he played because as much as i can recall, he did well many more times than he played badly these past years, so that evens it out.
Paul Aaron Scholes
D.O.B: 16 November 1974
Place of Birth: Salford, England
Weight: 11st 9lbs
Height: 5'7
Position: Midfield
Debut date:21 Sep 1994
The second runner-up. If Im honest, i love him as much as Giggsy and despite his tackles, i love everything about him.
Not only is he a great player on the pitch, in fact no doubt one of the best midfielder England ever produce, and he topped it off with a great character as well.
Perhaps not many journalist would agree with that but personally i think, thats how footballers should be. You do your talking on the pitch not anywhere off it, leave that
to the manager or even the coach. Whats the use of all these interview anyway when the question that often been asked is How do you feel? What do you think? etc, etc, whoever is going to believe
that whatever the players said is genuinely what they think?
I didnt talk much about Scholes but thats only because he didnt talk much as well and i respect him for that because all along I have the thinking that he doesnt like being in the limelight which probably is true.
But that doesnt mean he didnt hold a big part in my life supporting united. The best midfielder that ive seen playing for united and still do too. Like Giggsy, i hate to think about the day he decided to hang up his boots. A sure thing a player like him is very hard to replace, his vision, his passes, his crossing and most of all his creativity is second to none and that doesnt include his loyalty yet. If there is anyone that fits the word underated perfectly,
it would be him, Paul Scholes. How the hell does he not win any personal award just yet? This is just not fair.
Nemanja Vidic
D.O.B: 21 Oct 1981
Place of Birth: Uzice, Serbia
Weight: 13st 0lbs
Height: 6'2
Position: Defence
Debut date: 25 Jan 2006
He rocks! Everytime i think of Vidic, its kind of funny and it remind me never to doubt Sir Alex & his gang ability to spot talent. Well its always
easier to spot talent but difficult to groom that talent but with Vidic, i dont think the gaffer had a lot of problem. Within his stay in Manchester,
he had already surpassed Rio in being the best CD in the premiership and together they make a perfect item. Not only he is rock solid at the back but he can
score goals too. A complete package of what we really need and its not easy not to like him. Another priceless asset we have that i hope we dont let go.
Wayne Mark Rooney
D.O.B:24 Oct 1985
Place of Birth:Croxteth, Liverpool
Weight:12st 5lbs
Height:5'10
Position:Forward
Debut date:28 Sep 2004
Hah! So where do i start??
25/08/2005 - Manchester United confirm they have made an offer to Everton for striker Wayne Rooney.
Pissed off! No way Jose i want a him in the team just no! I dont like the fact that he is a scouser, and his
famous tagline "Once a Blue, always a blue" always make me think that he wouldnt want to be with us.
Guess what?? Im sooooo damn wrong of course. And the irony, he happens to be if not the most, one of the dedicated
players we have in the team. People always talk of his temper and tantrums but to me thats what make him special. Just
as long as it didnt affect us in anyway of course.
Also i like how he go about doing his thing without really that much
HU-HA and playing for Manchester United didnt make him big headed in anyway at all. His passion for football and for united
can be seen even on the pitch. I really have very high hopes on him and in him i was actually hoping to see another Ryan or Scholes
like players, someone who will end his united career here with us but as much faith i have, ive learned not many of today's player
can do that so we'll see.
John O'Shea
D.O.B:30 Apr 1981
City of Birth:Waterford, Ireland
Weight:11st 11lbs
Height:6'3
Position:All Over
Debut date:13 Oct 1999
He might not be the best player on the field but no doubt his existence is one that i will appreciate for a long time. People talk about Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and
and Gary Neville about loyalty and its always easier to brush player like Sheasy but for me, his willingness and his sacrifice into becoming a versatile player for us is enough
to see how much loyalty he have for the club.To add to that the amount of criticism he gets is beyond words and its a shame really seeing how we love to have a loyal player in the club but
yet when we see one we didnt tend to acknowledge it. Regardless how he perform, he will always be in that soft spot in my heart. It is definitely not easy to perform consistently well for all matches
when your playing in different position each game but atleast he tried.
Nudge me!

Man Utd 2 VS 1 Arsenal 29 August 2009
Venue: Old Trafford
Scorer: Rooney 59 (pen), Diaby 64 (og).
The line up: Foster, Oshea, Brown, Vidic, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Fletcher, Nani, Giggs, Rooney.
Subs: Park for Valencia 63, Berbatov for Giggs 85.
LMAO! What happen towards the end really overshadowed the match to me. Poor Arsene. He was caught completely a clown but tbf to him, i think its a harsh decision to be sending him off just for kicking a bottle and that too in his own half. I can understand how it feel to be thinking they levelled up the score in the final moment just to have that one caught offside. Still being in the opposite end, i want to thank the lines man for being alert. With all these errors done by the ref lately, and with the urgency the match was going at that particular time, he could easily not call it offside but he did.
Ok as for the match, I think the result complimented us a bit too much. We were poor for the whole 70 mins or so. And when i say poor, it is really poor. Ryan Giggs, disappoint me big time in this match and everything he does didnt work. For once he look more like a youngster who is in his first day playing in Old Trafford getting lost among the star studded players and the atmosphere.
One thing i noticed is how smooth Arsenal passing was and it was made obvious by our crap passing. Too often we lose possession and for us to do that against Arsenal is something intolerable. Arsenal keep pushing us rite until the first half whistle was blown and one would have thought we will do better in the second half. We did improve but that is around the quarter end of the match.
To be relying on a penalty and an own goal from Diaby for a win and to add to that the sad performance by us always make the win not as sweet as always. It taste as bitter as a lost tbh especially against Arsenal as i've always hate the thought that Arsenal play better football than us. Im not one whom normally will admit if we are lucky to win a certain match but today, even i think we actually are.
Damn Arshavin! Im starting to hate him in a good way like I so called hate Torres for being a player they are. He is such a nuisance and why the hell did he end up with the arse?!
Fletcher again shown how he could live up against big team and infact i think Fletcher has something against Arsenal cause everytime we play them, Fletcher will tend to stand out among the rest. What was suppose to be Arsenal not given penalty which i think is a penalty is a sweet revenge to him being send off for the CL semi final last season. Well he got the ball last time and yet he was being send off so that evens it out.
Also, I think we should really let Rooney be our fixed penalty taker after Ron. If he can do it, why not give it to him.
All in all, not the kind of performance any united fan should be proud of definitely. For once in my many years I realised that the three points is not what its all about after all, its how we performed that really matters. We were given the three points and im not complaining but it will be nice if we topped that with atleast a decent show. Next match against Spurs.. would be interesting to know what we have in house.
