It's been a while since I last wrote something about Man United and how could I not given what had happened last week. Yes last week. Remember that six in the city?
Well, many would point out that United controlled the game pretty well in the first half and City scored from the only half chance they had. Yes, it was a half chance but that 'Why Always Me' dude, took the chance first time and the boy that finish was top class. There's no defending against that. It was not like our defence was poor but Balotelli did not take another touch on the ball, he just fired it first time. There was no time for the defenders to react and his shot was right on the sweet spot . No goalie in the world was going to save that. It was simply magical.
However, for me, despite United controlling much of the first half, I wasn't at ease. United was simply a step slower and they could not find the space. Without space, their wings were clipped and speed in their game went missing. Too many balls were played to the feet. Players retrieving these passes were waiting for the ball and not running into spaces for the balls. This took out the speed and it made defending against United rather easily. And many pases were missed too. This ain't cutting it and this ain't gonna to open up a team like City who came to Old Trafford happily to sit deep in their own half in the first half.
And yeah, Evans got send off.
And United got hammered. We lost. We got beaten.
The incredible thing was, this hammering made many people happy. It's not that their team won. It's simply that United got whipped badly at home in a derby match.
And no, I will still support Man United and I believe many will still do for a long time. We did not support United just because they were winning.
And I will be cheering for them against Everton later.
And no, I won't be cheering like a cow on steroid just because the other team lost.

at least captain is back
Supermax announced one for one bonus issue and proposal to buy back 10% of paid-up capital on 1 Nov. Price at announcemwent is RM3.72. The price was RM2.85 on 18 Oct, less than 9 market days before announcement. It has gone up 30% since 18 Oct.
Ah ronnie: Err... supermax and Man United ... what relationship?
And errr.... supermax ah?
How? What? Why?
:P
There is absolutely no relationship between Man U and Supermax.
Just used your blog to plug my observation on the front running of Supermax's announcement. An acquaintance informed me that the syndicate that is front running thinks the authorities are incompetent. If indeed they are charged, the punishment is peanuts compared to the millions they have earned.
Supermax share price closed at RM3.70 after reaching a high of RM3.84. Heavy distribution by those who bought earlier.
