2008 Rematch

Champion League Fixtures 

Woke up at 4 a.m

United 2 Marseille 1

United are through to the Champions League quarter-finals thanks to a close-range couple from Javier Hernandez - but it was a far from comfortable night for the Reds after conceding a late away goal at Old Trafford.

Wes Brown's unfortunate own goal created an anxious last eight minutes but Sir Alex Ferguson's men held out to win 2-1 and book a place in the last-eight draw alongside the likes of Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s pre-match promise to go for it was reflected in his line-up as Nani and Ryan Giggs returned to the flanks and Paul Scholes was restored in the centre. The bench also had a strong emphasis on attack with the marauding midfield stars of Saturday’s FA Cup win over Arsenal, Rafael and Fabio, plus Antonio Valencia and Dimitar Berbatov among the seven subs. The defence, however, was not the expected quartet with a calf problem forcing Nemanja Vidic to join Rio Ferdinand on the sidelines.
Marseille, meanwhile, had top scorer Andre-Pierre Gignac back – he missed the first leg in France. Ex-United defender Gabriel Heinze started for the visitors in central defence, perhaps a safer haven than at left-back where Nani stretched him a fortnight ago.

The Reds engineered the perfect start from the opposite wing – United’s left. Rooney fed Ryan Giggs, scurried forward to collect the return pass and then drilled a low ball into the six-yard box for Hernandez to gleefully tap home.

Marseille’s stunned defenders appealed in vain for offside as the Reds raced away to celebrate the Mexican’s 15th goal for the club, his first in Europe since the winner in Valencia in late September.

Gignac had a golden opportunity to equalise three minutes later when a flick over the top found him in the area behind Smalling and Brown; fortunately Marseille’s number 10 rushed his big moment and missed the target comfortably.

Smalling was sharper when Gignac next ventured into his territory, showing great body strength to shield and keep the ball much to the Frenchman’s frustration.

The duel between Hernandez and Heinze had top billing in the early part of the match, however. The United striker clattered into his opponent for the game’s first yellow card and was then sent sprawling by a retaliatory challenge moments later.

The Argentine centre-back escaped a caution for his foul, but he was almost punished for his defending again; instead Hernandez headed Rooney’s lofted pass into the hands of Steve Mandanda. When the keeper’s poor clearance, straight to Nani, gave United another sniff at goal, Rooney spurned the chance to shoot and Marseille escaped.

I was chatting with Rachel the other day.

United 2 Arsenal 0

United are heading to Wembley for the FA Cup semi-finals after powering past title rivals Arsenal with a goal in each half from Fabio and Wayne Rooney plus a virtuoso goalkeeping performance by Edwin van der Sar.

The Dutchman's dream of winning the globally-famous competition for the first time, in his final season, is now very much on and deservedly so after his string of saves - some of them world-class - denied a Gunners team desperate not to flunk a third trophy quest in a fortnight.
Sir Alex Ferguson rang the changes for this heavyweight contest, some of them forced, following last Sunday's disappointing league display at Anfield. His response to the expected absence of Nani was an intriguing one, as he opted to field the Da Silva twins on the left and right flanks. Nemanja Vidic returned at the heart of the defence after suspension; Irish pair Darron Gibson and John O'Shea were drafted into central midfield with Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes rested altogether, possibly with Marseille on Tuesday in mind. Meanwhile Antonio Valencia was named in the 18 for the first time since breaking a leg last September.
Looking far from leggy after their Champions League chasing in Barcelona, the Gunners took the game to United in the early stages with Andrey Arshavin fashioning the first attempt on target from the left flank and Nasri knitting things together neatly on the right. The Reds seemed the more sluggish side and were relieved when Edwin van der Sar’s off-beam bowl-out led to Arshavin striking wide of the left-hand post.

Fabio takes a rebound from Hernandez's powerfull header.

Awesome la.....

Ours to win.

Analysis: Race for the title

While the title's destiny is still in United's hands, the defeats at Stamford Bridge and Anfield have offered hope to the chasing pack. Here we look at the timeline for the rest of the league season and the fixtures facing the top five...
Week 30: United v Bolton - Saturday 19 March, KO 15:00Old Trafford hosts its first league game since Wayne Rooney spectacularly put Manchester City to the sword, and a return to winning ways is absolutely imperative if the Reds are to rebuild momentum. Bolton, while catching the eye in their surge for Europa League football, have won just twice away from the Reebok Stadium this season, and have lost their last seven trips to M16. Elsewhere, Tottenham host West Ham earlier in the day, while Arsenal, at West Brom, kick off simultaneously with the Reds. Chelsea and Manchester City lock horns the following day at Stamford Bridge.
Variables: United, Chelsea and City are all in European second round, second leg matches in the preceding week.
Live on TV (UK): Tottenham v West Ham, Chelsea v Manchester City (both televised on Sky Sports)

Week 31: West Ham v United - Saturday 2 April, KO 12:45The Reds' return to travelling duties looks trickier by the week. The Hammers have comfortably won successive home games against Liverpool and Stoke, as well as picking up valuable away points, and have built up a head of steam in their bid to escape the relegation zone. A win at Upton Park in the day’s early kick-off would represent the clearing of a major hurdle for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, whose last visit to East London produced a Carling Cup pummelling. Chelsea also have the ever-tricky trip to Stoke and Spurs head north to Wigan, before Arsenal host Blackburn at the Emirates. Manchester City entertain Sunderland the next day.
Variables: All games are preceded by a two-match international break, and are followed by Champions League and Europa League quarter-final, first leg matches.
Live on TV (UK): West Ham v United (Sky), Arsenal v Blackburn (ESPN), Manchester City v Sunderland

Week 32: United v Fulham - Saturday 9 April, KO 15:00Sir Alex's men have to be fancied at Old Trafford against any opposition, but especially when facing a team who have registered just one away league win this season and have taken maximum points on the road only 10 times since May 2005. Nevertheless, Mark Hughes’ side are imbued with his signature grit, while Andy Johnson is currently one of the top flight's form players since shaking off his injury nightmare. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Spurs host Wigan and Stoke respectively, the day before Arsenal travel to Blackpool and two days before Manchester City go to Anfield in Sky's Monday evening encounter.
Variables: Fixtures fall between both legs of the Champions League and Europa League quarter-finals.
Live on TV (UK): Blackpool v Arsenal, Liverpool v Manchester City (both Sky)Week 33: Newcastle v United - Saturday 16 April, KO 12:45
For the second away game in a row, the Reds set the weekend’s programme rolling with an early kick-off, this time at St James’ Park. Newcastle’s unpredictable home form was laid bare by their epic rollercoaster draw with Arsenal last month, and Alan Pardew’s side have still lost more than they’ve won on their own turf. Chelsea visit relegation battlers West Brom later in the day, while Tottenham go to Manchester City a day later and Arsenal entertain Liverpool.
Variables: Champions League and Europa League quarter-final second legs beforehand. FA Cup semi-finals also held on the same weekend, which will involve United or Arsenal, and may involve Manchester City.
Live on TV (UK): Newcastle v United, Arsenal v Liverpool (both Sky)

Week 34: United v Everton - Saturday 23 April, KO 12:45
Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea play their games in-hand, with the two North London rivals doing battle at White Hart Lane and the Blues hosting Birmingham. Then, United are first up in Saturday’s early kick-off against David Moyes’

Week 35: Arsenal v United - Sunday 1 May, KO 14:05The present top two meet in what looks like a make-or-break match for both teams, pending any twists and turns thrown up by the intervening weeks. United have triumphed comprehensively in the last two trips to the Emirates Stadium, and are unbeaten in the last six meetings with the Gunners. Chelsea face Tottenham in their penultimate home game of the campaign, while Manchester City will fancy gaining points at home to West Ham while the four other protagonists all do battle.
Variables: Champions League and Europa League semi-finals sandwich the weekend.

Live on TV (UK): Chelsea v Tottenham, Arsenal v United, Manchester City v West Ham (all Sky)

Week 36: United v Chelsea - Saturday 7 May, KO TBC
It was this fixture last season in which United surrendered control of the title race, and the last time the Reds lost at Old Trafford. Last week’s controversial defeat at Stamford Bridge will only fuel United’s fire in what will most likely provide the sternest test of United's title credentials. Tottenham have the apparently kindest fixture – Blackpool at home – while Manchester City and Arsenal must travel to Everton and Stoke respectively.
Variables: Preceded by Champions League and Europa League semi-finals second leg.
Live on TV (UK): TBC

Week 37: Blackburn v United - Saturday 14 May, KO TBC
For the second season in a row, United follow up a home game against Chelsea with a trip to Ewood Park. One point from six in last year’s corresponding pair still evokes nightmares, since the title was lost by a single point, but the Reds should make the short trip full of confidence against a Rovers side still finding its feet under Steve Kean. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City host Aston Villa, Newcastle and Stoke respectively, while Tottenham travel to Liverpool.
Variables: United or Arsenal could be involved in the FA Cup final.
Live on TV (UK): TBC

Week 38: United v Blackpool - Sunday 22 May, KO 16:00It’s impossible to predict the state of affairs going into the final day of the campaign but, of the title coveters, only United and Spurs will have home advantage. Ian Holloway’s unpredictable Blackpool will make the trip inland to Old Trafford, while Tottenham host Birmingham. Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal travel to Bolton, Everton and Fulham respectively for simultaneous kick-offs on what already looks likely to be an absorbing afternoon with ramifications at both ends of the table.
Variables: Any rearranged fixtures may be scheduled in the preceding midweek slot.
Live on TV (UK): TBC
All fixture dates and times are subject to change.

Away game 2nd lost in a-row. Still 1st Place.

Liverpool 3 United 1

United’s quest to regain the Barclays Premier League title suffered a second successive setback as Dirk Kuyt’s hat-trick gave Liverpool a deserved victory at Anfield.

The Dutch striker converted a quickfire pair of close-range chances, firstly hoofing home from the goalline after impressive skill from Luis Suarez, then nodding in following Nani's errant attempt to head away a cross.
United’s Portuguese winger was then carried off amid ugly scenes at the end of the first period, following a shocking high challenge from Jamie Carragher. The veteran defender was only booked, however, and was quickly followed by Edwin van der Sar, Rafael and Martin Skrtel into referee Phil Dowd’s notebook.
Although United rallied in the second half, Kuyt completed his hat-trick when he tapped home another close-range finish, this time after van der Sar had spilled Suarez’s free-kick. The Reds' only tangible reward came in injury-time, when Chicharito clinically nodded home Ryan Giggs' right-wing cross.
Sir Alex Ferguson again opted to field Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov in tandem upfront, flanked by wingers Giggs and Nani, with Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick in midfield.
With Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic absent through injury and suspension respectively, Wes Brown returned to the starting line-up alongside Chris Smalling. Rafael also came in at the expense of John O'Shea, while Patrice Evra recovered from injury to take his spot on the left flank.
For the hosts, Steven Gerrard played despite pre-match suggestions that he would be ruled out by a groin injury. Club record signing Andy Carroll, meanwhile, was named on the bench for the first time since his January arrival from Newcastle.
Liverpool made the brighter start to the game, and only poor control from Suarez prevented him from making the most of Raul Meireles’ drilled cross. Instead the ball bobbled through to van der Sar.
Though the hosts’ hassling and harrying allowed United little time to settle, Berbatov almost struck a spectacular opening goal just after the quarter-hour mark, clipping the outside of Pepe Reina’s post with an audacious swerving volley.
United slowly began to grow in stature, and again came close to taking the lead when Brown’s deflected header was cleared off the line by Meireles. Instead, Liverpool forged ahead after superb trickery from Suarez, who turned away from Smalling and Rafael, bypassed challenges from Carrick and Brown and squared for Kuyt to smash in a finish from the goalline.

Devil's disappointed at Anfield.

Reds to assess Nani injury

A club spokeswoman confirmed on Sunday afternoon that the Portuguese winger suffered a "very deep gash" in his ft leg after Jamie Carragher's challenge shortly before half-time. The Liverpool defender was booked by referee Phil Dowd and Nani played no further part in the match. He was carried off the field on a stretcher and replaced by substitute Javier Hernandez who later scored United's only goal with a header in injury time.
While fans will naturally be worried about Nani - one of United's best players of the season so far - there was some encouraging news in that his fellow winger Antonio Valencia was part of the Reds' travelling party for the Liverpool game.
The Ecuadorian was not named among the seven substitutes by Sir Alex Ferguson but his presence at Anfield, combined with his recent return to full-contact training, suggests a comeback may be close.

Wash by the Blues :(

Chelsea 2 United 1 

Big games so often fail to live up to expectation. Not this one.
United, gunning for a 19th league title, and Chelsea, reigning English champions, produced a barnstorming, end-to-end game of football that left no neutral disappointed.
That won’t sate Sir Alex’s men, though, who took the lead at Stamford Bridge through Wayne Rooney before surrendering it early in the second half and then, fatally, conceding a late penalty. What's more, referee Martin Atkinson's decision to award the spot-kick came barely two minutes after Blues defender David Luiz, already on a yellow card, escaped punishment after crudely halting Rooney at the other end.
Frank Lampard ignored the Reds' protests to convert the chance from 12 yards and hand the Blues victory, but United, however aggrieved after the final whistle, remain at the top of the Barclays Premier League, four points clear of Arsenal.
Perhaps more worrying than Tuesday's defeat was Nemanja Vidic's second yellow card in injury time. It means he will now miss United’s trip to Anfield on Sunday. That’s the next challenge that faces the Reds and one Sir Alex must now ensure his troops are prepared for, both physically and mentally.
Chelsea’s victory on Tuesday night was something of a shock given the Blues’ recent form, although just as big a surprise was Sir Alex’s team

Rooney scored after 29 mins played

David Luiz scored his 1st goal in Chelsea blue in the 2nd half which makes it 1 - 1

Lampards late spot kick was the moment.
