Footer Part-II

The first part contained my feelings abt the world cup.Now this entry is more less an EPL related one.For as long as 2 years,i wanted Man Utd(My fav club) on the top of the table.It never really happened.What ppl said was something of a MAN U-is gone-and Chelsea-is-the team- kind.
In fact in August it appeared like dat.The premierships big spenders had strengthend their arsenal wid the lyks of Andiry Shevchencko(one of my fav strikers),Micheal Ballack,Ashley Cole and many others.
As for Man Utd the transfer window was more of an out goers one than the incoming one,the signed budding England Midfeilder Micheal Carrick for a whopping 18 mil and sold their Goal machine Ruud van Nistelrooy,and the vaccum left by his departure was not filled.So b4 even the seaso started ,i cud hear strange shouts asking where are ManU s goals gonna cum from.Time wud be the answer i thought.
And it was.A Frenchman named Louis Saha stepped up to the occasion to replace R v N,only to score the opening goal for ManU in that season and thereby revive his goal scoring touch,dat was established at Fulham b4 he moved to Man U.He was continously on the scoresheet and proved pundits wrong by being more than equal to Ruud van who???
Chelsea had their teething problems , wid Sheva trying to adopt to the English style of game and failing many a time.Their very second match ended in an agonizing defeat.From dat tym on
Jose Mourinho must have known English Football is never the same every year and Man U are no push overs.Man U steadily gained Strength and Elegance to end the year on a high note.Finishing 6 pts clear at the top of the table,wid Chelsea s hopes of retaining the title all but over.
I am mentioning here only abt Chelsea and Man U...wat happend to the others,u may wonder...They are simply outta Man U s wa y and are way behind,to say the least.Arsenal lost ground due to the absence of Thierry Henry and lack of xperience in the side.Liverpool,i dont have a say,bcos i dontt think they are even worth a say...
So as i am hoping dat Man U will regain the title,i am just putting forth some ket pts in Eu soccer 2006.

• The Old lady of Italian Football,Juventus or Bianconeri were relagated to Serie B due to their involvement in Match fixing and handpickin referees issue.Inter were given the scudetto while AC Milan were docked pts , although the FA allowed them to play in the Champions league and saty in Serie A.
• Real Madrid s perfomances are no better than their earlier perfomances.Despite having taken advantage of the crisis situation in Juventus.
• Just by the look of it,it appears that there is no team in the French league dat cud catch Lyon.They are defending their title for the tenth consecutive tym and sitting pretty at the toppa the table.
• Crazy things happened this yea in the champs league as Man U and Benfica were drawn together agian,and so were Chelsea and Barcelona.
