So happy to see Manchester United to crowned English Premier League champion again since 2003. After a hard long season, and the pressure from the second place Chelsea, United success to hold their nerves to denied Chelsea win the league in third consercutive years.
This season’s champion is also special to Ryan Giggs, my favourite player, win his record breaking 9th Premier League title in his 17 season with United. He made his 700th appearance in March this year and only behind Sir Bobby Charlton (759 games) in history of United. Don’t forget Giggsy still in good shape and able to play in high competitive game at least two more seasons although he is 34 years old now. Too bad, his goal was denied in this year FA Cup Final against Chelsea and he miss a chance to break another record to win his 5th FA Cup medal. And most likely to miss another or his last chance to play in international stage as Wales struggle in Euro 2008 Qualifying Round.
Sad news to United fans in Malaysia, as they scrapped their plan to have their Asian Tour friendly match against Malaysian Selection XI in Bukit Jalil Stadium, KL coming July. The saga between FAM and AFC towards this match is hot, we saw different news everyday saying “United is coming”, then “United is not coming”, then again “Malaysian Government support United tour to Malaysia”, and now “United is not coming due to FAM agreement with AFC”…… This match is a key element of the Malaysian Government’s celebrations of our 50 years of independence and presents a marvellous opportunity to watch United play in front of our many Malaysian fans. Disappointing on those decision, disappointing to those arrangement… but I still hope there have a lifeline turning point to make this match happen. I wish to watch United again!!!
WE WANT MANCHESTER UNITED PLAY IN MALAYSIA!!!
Anyway, hope United will strength their squad by signing some top players, we are looking forward to see United retain the League title and conquer on all the competions, especially UEFA Champions League!
