bkkjames Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Best performance of the year...period. We are only 11 days in , but I know what you mean. Totally outplayed Chelsea. Funny, quiet in here today, none of the usual lurkers. Figure I am covered either way As for the other lurkers (assuming you mean the LP crowd), not the result they were hoping for.

redrus Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Benitez Rants Continue redissue Monday, 12th January 2009 After his war of words against United boss Sir Alex Ferguson last week, Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has now questioned David Gill's position on the FA board. After yesterday's win against Chelsea, Fergie reacted to Benitez's comments that he influenced referee's decisions as 'ridiculous'. Now Benitez has questioned why United's chief executive is on a lot of Football Association committees. "They were saying we are not a threat. Now they know we are, they are starting mind games," he is quoted in the Daily Mirror. "But I don't think it's a mind game when you have control over everything, it's a mind game when you have the same level as the other people, then you can show you are cleverer than the others. "But when you have control of everything and your chief executive is powerful in the FA and things like this, then that is not mind games. "Is there a conflict of interest with David Gill at the FA? "That is another fact. It is a fact that one person has a lot of power and control, and is on a lot of committees in the FA. To me that is very strange." Fergie - A Good Result Sir Alex Ferguson described the win against Chelsea as 'a good result' for United in their attempts to retain the Premier League League title. The 3-0 win against second-in-the-table Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday evening saw United move to within one point of the London side and five points behind Liverpool - with two games in hand on both side's. "It was a great night for us," The United boss told Sky Sports News. "Chelsea had a lot of good possession at times and they're a threat when they get possession. "They've got so many clever players, but we defended the 18-yard line well so I don't think they really had a clear-cut chance. "On the other side our attacking was good and we had some good chances. "Even in the first half. Their keeper has made three very good save's. "It was good result for us. "As we've said many times, we have all the main teams to play at home and we need to win those games, we have Wigan on Wednesday which will be a tough game. "We have eight games in January so it's a big test for us." redrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkjames Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Ronaldo Named FIFA World Player Of The YearMonday, 12th January 2009 Christiano Ronaldo has been named the FIFA World Player of the year for 2008. The United striker became the first ever Premier League player to win the award which was presented to him at the ceremony in Zurich by Brazilian legend Pele tonight. "It's the most overwhelming moment of my life," Ronaldo has said. redrus Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the Fifa World Player of the Year for 2008. The Portugal and Manchester United winger becomes the first Premier League player to win the award. Ronaldo, 23, beat AC Milan's Kaka, Liverpool's Fernando Torres and Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Xavi to the prestigious title. "It's an overwhelming moment in my career and I'd like to dedicate this award to my family, friends and colleagues," said the United star. His 42 goals for Manchester United last season helped the Old Trafford club clinch the Premier League and Champions League double. Ronaldo, who also picked up the European Player of the Year crown in December and the FifPro World Footballer of the Year honour in October, paid special tribute to United boss Sir Alex Ferguson. 606: DEBATE "It's also true that the manager always has an important role to play. It was a great season for me and for my club and the coach was important for me because I learned a lot for him," he added. "His experience over so many years is of paramount importance - it's a privilege to have such a great club manager. "This is the climax of a fantastic era for me. I'm happy and proud about what has been done by my team and what we have won. "I am lucky to be part of the history of a club like Manchester United." The coaches and captains of 155 national teams took part in the voting for the award, with Messi finishing second ahead of Torres, Kaka and Xavi.

bkkjames Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 From the Guardian: Cristiano Ronaldo believes Manchester United are building a dynasty that will dominate club football for years and can improve on last season's haul of the Premier League and European Cup by adding the FA and League Cup to claim an unprecedented quadruple. "It will be very difficult but we will try. Why not? We want to win everything this season and in my head I know it's possible because the team is still the same, the spirit is still the same and the desire is still the same," said the Portugal winger in the afterglow of winning the Fifa World Player of the Year award. "The priorities are the Premier League and Champions League but it would be great to create history by winning all four." United host Wigan tonight at Old Trafford and Ronaldo is bullish that the champions, who then visit Bolton on Saturday, are firm favourites for the title. "I think so. We're in a great position. We have to win our next two games. If we can do that, then I think it will be hard for anyone else to beat us. We know it's tough but we're very confident. "I think we can dominate. Manchester has a lot of young players – myself included – and so the future for the club looks good. But we have to make sure we win more trophies. I want to be here, to be a part of the success that I believe lies ahead for this team. It's great to be a part of this fantastic club." Ronaldo hailed his achievement as a tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson's influence since he signed from Sporting Lisbon in 2003. Ferguson's renowned man-management skills persuaded Ronaldo to stay at United last summer instead of moving to Real Madrid. Ferguson said: "The player must have the personal ambition, the desire and drive to succeed. But he also owes a lot to Manchester United for nurturing and encouraging him in the proper way at the right times." Despite Ronaldo now being the European and world player of the year, the Scot offers no preferential treatment. "It's the same as he did when I first came as an 18-year-old," Ronaldo said. "He's helped me so much. Last season he helped me in every aspect – passing, shooting, decision-making, everything. And I listen to him always because he has so much experience and taught some of the best players in the world. "All the time he's giving me advice to make me better and better. This is what I try to do all the time. There is such a great spirit among the players at United. That is why the club has been so successful. The team comes first, not the individual." Ronaldo also admitted concern about whoever will succeed Ferguson and offered a hint that his own future at United is tied to the manager's. "He is the coach and I listen to him. This is very important for me. The boss is the most important person at the club. When he leaves it's going to be very difficult to replace him. But, thankfully, this is not the time to think about this because right now he's in charge and everything is great." Even after winning everything possible both individually and team wise, the best player in the world knows his place at the club - refreshing to see that at least this superstar knows that no player is bigger than the club itself.
