I guess there is no disputing that Manchester United is the Best Football Team in the world. LOL! Do I sense some sneering and cussing?! No matter.
Hail the Devils... says the Malaysian TheStar paper today.
Manchester United captured their 18th English League title on Saturday after a 0-0 draw game with Arsenal at home in Old Trafford. This hat-trick of titles moved them alongisde Liverpool as England's most crowned club. Yay!!
This is cliched but the truth is the truth...

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
Ryan Giggs voted PFA Player of the Year 2009
While Vidic does the double..Nemanja Vidic was named Player of the Year by United fans and his team-mates at the Reds' end-of-season awards night at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Just 24 hours after Sir Alex and his men were crowned Premier League champions for a third successive year and 18th time in total, the Reds were clearly still in partying mood. The whole squad turned out in style for the gala dinner, a star-studded event in Old Trafford's Manchester Suite.
Vidic collected the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year accolade, voted for by fans on ManUtd.com, and the Players' Player trophy to a well-deserved standing ovation.

Well I heard that MU won a few days ago. Congrats to you I must say. MU should really reward their fans don't you think? xD
ReplyDeleteReward for the fans? LOL! If one requires a reward, then one is not a fan. My thinking is, fans do not require a reward. Becoming a fan is a voluntary adoration of something or someone and calls for no necessity of any reward, a one-way love affair, if you will.
ReplyDeleteIn the case of sports teams like MU, the team's winning is reward in itself. Fans get bragging rights. No?
Anyone else agree or disagree?
Hmmm, you're right in a way. But I'd prefer if they have a lucky draw for fans who promote MU, lol. I want to join xD
ReplyDeleteJL, I think I saw some contests on the manutd.com site. If you are interested, sign in and participate.
ReplyDeleteYou are an MU fan too, eh?
Actually, I just thought they should reward you for your support. I don't really follow the english league haha.
ReplyDeleteman utd fan! haha..
ReplyDeleteglory glory united! =D
