04/11/2003. Manchester United are said to be ready to hijack Middlesbrough's move to sign Real Madrid Geremi.

The Cameroon international has spent the season on loan at the Riverside, but Real revealed at the weekend that they were interested in using Geremi in their team next season.

The Spanish league leaders also said they would refuse to lower the £9.6m price tag on the player, which would prove to be a stumbling block for Boro.

The Sun newspaper suggests Sir Alex Ferguson is now tempted in making a move for the versatile player as part of his summer rebuilding.

against a very attack-minded team like real, u cant afford to play a lone striker up there and if RVN off-form then who will score goal ? against real attack is the best defence. hope saf can put 2 strikers up front in the return leg. can some1 get beckham out of the right side, his play is so predictable and roberto carlos (played against him in world cup before) is having no trouble of dealing with him. with a tactic replyin g on beckham pinpoint crosses such die.

roy keane have not been controlling the midfield as he used to be. i hope veron will be back on the return leg, let him take scholes role be the playmaker with rvn and ole up front and roy keane plays more defensive in front of the back 4 to hold up raul and whoever his partner will be on that night.
wow...u wan 2 be Alex's assistant manager in the return leg? :D

[AhGoh]

SAF finally comes to his senses and plays silves in the center. This is the strongest back 4 imo, defencely very sound, though not as attack minded as the usual Gary and Silves at the flanks

[ralliart_ray]

OMG
wat a scoreline
6-2

[Feador]

we seem to do well when becks and g.neville are out :D

thurs morning, 2.30am i think..

[Ch3tah_39]

I think man utd will jus pull through wit score line of
3:2;)

[blur_fella]

maybe 1-1

[AhGoh]

whatever the score, i just hope United wins this, if not all the hard work before will go to waste again

[Alienz]

Ya Arsenal second goal clearly offside.... Now United must score as many goal as there can :)

[cracker]

man utd should be disappointed with just getting one pt despite having a 1 man advantage in the last 10 min.
However from the way SAF looked after the match,,he seemed very satisfy with a draw. Looking at the fixtures,,potential game where Arsenal might drop pts are against Boro, Bolton and Leeds..as for MU they have to keep getting 3 pts per game....

Man U has tougher remaining fixtures than Arsenal leh....

[cracker]

utd is playing in order

blackburn (H) (19th April)
Spur (A) (27th April)
Charlton (H) (3rd May)
Everton (A) (11th May)

My prediction
winning the first 3 and drawing the last one
pts : 10
grand total pts : 81

Arsenal's game in order

Boro (A) (19th April)
Bolton (A) (26th April)
Leeds (H) (4th May)
S'ton (H) (7th May)
Sunderland (A) (11th May)

Boro is always unpredictable,,
Bolton needs pts for survival,,they lost at Highbury to a last min goal.
Leeds...they are playing for pride now...might be treated to some magic from kewell and company
S'ton... will be a fa cup final rehearsal,,good chance for kevin beatie to go 1 up against henry b4 the final.

My prediction
D, W, D,W,W
pts : 12
grand total pts : 80.


I dont think the title need to be decided on the last day.

only recalled such scenario twice,,
back in 95 where utd lost out to blackburn by a pt ,,and in 99 where utd needs a win against spur at old trafford to be absolutely sure.

the 2nd goal is clearly off-side. henry was moving back from an offside position and where is the linesman ??? man utd should have won the match. against arsenal is blessed by "luck" (again man utd and again sheff utd). wonder how much more luck does arsenal have to carry them to the finish line ?

Yea.

But now some Arsenal fan is arguing that Henry wasn't offside (tell me what's new)

Originally posted by FLiNcHY
Henry was on side lah
he was on par with the right back, wes brown
its just that the camera showed the replay from an anglel which was way behind the line so what everyone saw was an alignment error.
parallex error kind of thing


Henry should have scored that last minute power drive
aargh
Bloody hell arsenal's defence for the 2nd goal was damn screwed up. We should have beat man utd

tat scene was repeated a few time during the game itself and during the post match review,,,,,can also watched from news...

Henry was clearly behind the last utd's defender when the ball was released from an Arsenal's player.

But no pt arguing,,,,wat matter is MU has to start going on a scoring frenzy from now onward....and hope tat Steve McClaren's Boro and Ried's gang of unpredictable gangs can prevent Arsenal from getting max pts in these 2 crucial fixtures..of cos there is still on form Kevin Beatie of S'ton to be counted on to do the necessary damage.

man u got to play well tonight, or else real :rolleyes:

Have to win this match at all cost and I think we might need to win by 3 goals margin to be sure of semi-final spot which is a bloody tough task, But I hope we will be able to do it.

Nevermind that we didn't win on aggregate. It did look a tall mountain to climb before the start of the match.

What matters is that the guys went out with their usual fighting spirit and still beat the team we haven't been beating all these years. Kudos to them for the great spirit shown despite be a goal behind 3 times in the match! This will be a great motivation in the final dash for the EPL title.

it is more of a wrong tactic...
Brown should partner Ferdinand,,with silvestre on the left and o shea on the right.....this formation was only changed with 10 min to go...

Brown had proven to be a flop when given the right back role...Note tat most of the buildup of Real's goal from Utd right flank.



Roy Keane was once again more of a spectator,,,I tot Veron did start to play well in the second half just b4 he was subsituted. Giggs wasnt visible at all....But Ruud was everywhere whenever the ball was in Real half. Ole became more effective when he was pushed along Ruud.

[cracker]

barthez's performance has never given Utd defence the confidence they need compare to the great Dane.

Believe he has played his last CPL game for MU. Problem is who can Utd secure ? The turks international keeper or maybe give roy caroll a chance to stake his place.

[ifiron]

Yup,

I think they really played their hearts, souls and minds out. They prove that what is fighting spirit all about and not giving up.

Overall, I am still happy as they won but lost on aggregate. But the defending must improved, it is woeful.

[aFTerLiF3]

True, he looked very sharp and dangerous when he went upfront.. i think he has total 5 shoots on goal and that crazy Casillas prevent all of it.

Yup......... RVN was dangerous last night. I think for next season, we must get another GK, DF, DM, AML.

The way i see Real Madrid plays, the midfield totally overwhelm keane and butt. Needs some strengthening in that area, keane really way pass shelf-life.

[hush66]

I've never really thought that Man U could make it through to the CL semis. Now that that has happened, let's win the EPL by 1 goal difference! :D

actually i was surprised tat for all the hardwork tat they put up,,Real Madrid was allowed to walt their way past the Utd for the third goal....all the players were basically starring as the ball "danced" ard them.


MU will definitely do a clearout in summer...will he repeat wat he did in 95 ?.....sold off hughes, ince, kanchelski...problem is there is not many promising youngster waiting this time rd,,,John O Shea is the only find of the current batch of youngster.

[ryanseah]

Luckily I managed to catch the replay! As everyone has said, it's truly one classic match that will be remembered for years to come! I think we played really well to at least win the match and salvage some pride, but Real and Ronaldo churned out a classy early performance that we just had no answer to. Kudos to the entire team and I guess they can concentrate on winning the remaining league matches now!

[RVN]

Thought we battle hard and didn't gave up the fight, but the first goal score by Ronaldo just killed off the tie for us. We got to concentrate on winning the premiership title now.

[pyu]

Don't be pessimistic and say United don't have promising youngsters. At that point in time, Beckham, Butt, Scholes and co were all unknowns too.

I believe that Ferguson will not take that big a risk though. The standard of the other teams have vastly improved and he cannot choose to under estimate them. :)

Anyway, we have the advantage now. Only we can stop ourselves from winning the league after this slip up by Arsenal. :D

Big congrats to Man Utd, they really deserve it.

I was waiting for Wenger's response after the Leeds match and he answered in his typical deluded manner.

"Over the whole season, if you look at the FA Cup and the Premier League, then we were certainly the best team in England."

Right...you get knocked out of the Champions League, lost the Premiership crown and the FA Cup is not assured either......so Arsenal was certainly the best??

"I think it was very close. If we had won at Bolton, we would certainly have won the championship, I can guarantee you that"

"But even then, if we had won against Leeds, I think we would have won the championship"

And then he goes on and on about the injuries and suspensions hurting his team. Wenger still fails to realise that he just has no depth in his squad and has crucially failed to strengthen his defence. Man Utd can easily point to the earlier half of the season where they too were weakened by injuries. Remember Phill Neville being forced to play midfield?

Wenger's response reminds me of what he said when a journalist asked him abt Ruud scoring more goals and having the better goal ratio. Wenger's response: Oh, cuz Henry played MORE games, therefore he scored LESS goals than Ruud.

Dear Supporter

It's a fantastic feeling to be champions again. It's been a great triumph by the players, a great effort by them. They've shown determination, perseverance and ability. I think they're the qualities that have won it for us.

The first title was always going to be the hardest for me personally because that opened the door for us. But this is the greatest achievement. To be so many points behind and come from so far off the pace to catch them on the line so to speak, it was marvellous.

Our form in recent weeks has been unbelievable. Four goals against Liverpool, six against Newcastle, two down at Highbury, three against Blackburn Rovers, two at Tottenham, four yesterday. Phew, what a run, it's been absolutely magnificent.

I'm very pleased for the players who've not won a trophy at United before. The players who've won their first league title, I'm really delighted for them. Ruud van Nistelrooy in particular. I think Ruud van Nistelrooy's form has without question been the deciding factor. When a centre-forward scores the number of goals in the important games that he has, it has to be the difference between the two teams, I think. I knew he was going to become a great player. But I didn't know quite how good he was going to become, I must say that, because he has surprised me almost every week.

I think it was one of my best-ever decisions to bring Carlos Queiroz to the club. He's been absolutely outstanding. I'm really pleased for him. He's been a real revelation and it's been an eye-opener in terms of some of his preparation. He's so professional, so determined, he has great initiative about him. I'm delighted for him and all the players as I've said. Players like Seba Veron and Diego Forlan who've not won a title with this club, I'm delighted for them.

Of course, I'm also pleased for the supporters. I think probably 99 per cent of fans know me and trust me. They know I'm always going to do my best. I've always regarded them as part of Manchester United strongly and I've always looked upon them as that extra weapon when we've needed them. They've been fantastic. I've got to know so many of them over the years on personal terms and it makes it a little bit special when you know people personally because I know how much it means to them. I can think of them at this moment in time and say how pleased I am for them.

As for Arsenal, when anyone loses a title, particularly one that was in their grasp for a long time, I think it will be a big disappointment to them. But the battle's over. We expect them to be challengers next year and we look forward to that because I think from my own personal situation, I feel that my decision to not retire is the best decision I've probably made.

I'm relaxing at this moment in time because it's a great relief! But we've got to address the situation in terms of winning the European Cup. There's no doubt about that. We've got some young players, some young defenders who've got to improve and will improve. When you assess our level of experience against, for instance, Juventus and Real Madrid, we don't have that experience. We hope that develops to get to a level where we can win the European Cup again.

Thanks for your support. Enjoy the celebrations!

Sir Alex Ferguson

Wenger: What's to blame?


Just what does Arsene Wenger think are the reasons for his team's failure to win the Premiership and concede it to Manchester United.

He made the following claims ahead of Wednesday's dead rubber with Southampton:

The fixture schedule: 'I feel it was a huge disappointment for United to go out of the Champions League as you can only play the final on your own ground once.

'They had two flat games after that but got away with it as they played teams [Tottenham and Charlton] with nothing to go for.

'The coincidence of the fixtures is that we had to play against teams who were fighting to survive.

'But if we could have given them a game on the last day, we would have won the title instead as Everton were the first team they had to play with something to go for.'

Sol Campbell's four-game ban: 'I think Sol Campbell has not been treated fairly. I think that view is shared by 90 per cent of people.'

The strength of his own squad: 'Certainly we did not have the same defensive consistency as we've had in recent years and that's where we failed,' he admitted with creditable honesty.

'I thought we had enough central defenders as we had Pascal Cygan, Matthew Upson, Martin Keown, Sol Campbell and Oleg Luzhny but, with hindsight, maybe [we needed more].

Injuries at Bolton: 'The turning-point of the championship was the Bolton game, where we were 2-0 up with 16 minutes to go and then we lost three players injured in five minutes and it got clawed back to 2-2.'

Losing the lead too often: 'We lost a bit of urgency when we were in the lead and maybe that cost us more than players who were missing.'

Wenger's conclusion: 'I wanted us to retain the title and we were very close. But I still think that our overall achievement, in reaching the FA Cup final too, was as high, if not higher, than United's.'

omg. wenger whining again... look @ that bold statement i highlighted. i read that ppl were writing manU off..becoz of the schedule. vs Real madrid (home/away) , Newcastle, Liverpool, Spurs...blahblah and was saying arsenal had a lighter/easier schedule... yet now...hes using this as zzzzzzzzzz

Henry might tend to hold on to the ball for too long, that might affect RVN. But if they switch their style of play a little to suit each other more .. they would make all defences in the world would pee in their pants !
