I get sick, stay off the blog and you two get in a handbag fight. My grandmother, bless 'er, has been dead a while. She was a tough one from Whitechapel in London's East End and a fantatical West Ham United fan. She used to remember when Milwall fans went to games wearing the Fascist brown shirt to matches and the riots during Hammer/Milwall games. I believe that I could summon her up on a ouija board and that yitten ex-Hammer, Carrick, would want no part of her.

United's midfield is in total shambles, with Alan Smith being a regular starter. Up steps a certain Mr. Giggs. After losing two key midfielders in Keane and Scholes, Sir Alex Ferguson had very little to choose from. Quinton Fortune, now at Doncaster Rovers, was very injury prone, Darren Flecher was too young to carry any responsibility and Alan Smith was...well, a striker. But with Cristiano Ronaldo getting better and better all the time and Ji-Sung Park having a terrific debut season, there were some options to reshuffle the squad. To an average football viewer, Ryan Giggs and John O'Shea would look like the most unlikely midfield pairing, but it worked. United won 10 league games in a row near the end of the season and, with a strong second part of the season, finished second in the league behind Chelsea with 83 points. Which was a real light in the dark after finishing third the season before with 77 points. Summer of 2006 saw United sign Michael Carrick to toughen up the midfield, so there wouldn't be any need to play players out of position. A year later Nani and Anderson arrived. Even more bodies to the midfield. The arrival of Nani and Anderson, were seen as long term replacements for Giggs and Paul Scholes respectively. Nani though didn't have the same impact in the team as his fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo, who ended season 07/08 with 31 league goals and with his first PFA Player of the Year award. Being encouraged by the results two seasons back, Ryan Giggs started to see even more playing time in the middle of the field, as Anderson struggled with home sickness in mid season. Season 2008/2009 saw a total rebirth of Ryan Giggs. Having only started 12 matches all season in the Barclay's Premier League, most as a centre midfield player, Giggs was voted the PFA Player of the Year. Many saw this as more of a lifetime achievement award, but with the new season, Giggs has already started to silence the critics. As usual United's start to the season hasn't been the best. They're top of the table now, but goals and results have been tough to come. Last weekend saw a very resilient Bolton side at Old Trafford giving they're best, but their best was far away from the best of Ryan Giggs, who looked untouchable at times. Clever flicks, runs and passes, going past opponents with ease. And not for the first time this season, Ryan Giggs stole the spotlight from other United's stars. If he manages to maintain his from, he'll no doubt be in the running for the PFA Player of the Year again, he was already nominated for the European Player of the Year last Sunday. biswajeetronny on "How will Michael Carrick be remembred ?" http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/how-will-michael-carrick-be-remembred#post-45886 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 22:29:24 +0000 biswajeetronny 45886@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ michael carrick is Just a DECENT player, nothing more, a simple midfield passer type, who can sometimes attain a divine form when he onnects real good killer balls dat cut thru defences, and some good interceptions, but oderwiswe an average midfield player, ANDERSON will bcome a far bettr player than him, n he's certainly not overrted Kurush13 on "Ronnie is the past." http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/ronnie-is-the-past#post-45743 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:27:11 +0000 Kurush13 45743@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ Liversea, go watch how Ronaldo is playing and compare him to Berba's performance this season.

It's for a Spanish-speaking audience, of course, but he repeatedly described living in Manchester as "a miserable existence." Asked if he would ever go back to play for an English club, he said he will "never leave Iberia again" and that he'd be interested in buying a club like Tenerife or Real Mallorca after his Real years were done. Sounds like sun worship to me.

Bob, however, wisely points out that he's actually an attacking midfielder, very good at cute little flicks and backheels. My idea of 'hard work,' however, seems to be very different to Bob's. If Berbatov were typing this, doubtless, he'd be knackered between sentences and having a lie-down and a glass of Lucozade.

Kurush13 on "Ronnie is the past." http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/ronnie-is-the-past#post-45463 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:18:36 +0000 Kurush13 45463@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ Is Manchester United desperate for Ronaldo's tricks and flicks this season to continue their dominant run in the Premier League? I don't think so and I can assure you that majority of the United fans don't think so too. Its not the first time United have lost one of their best players. United have had to face such problems in the past as well and were able to cope with the loss of great talents. Be it Denis Law going back to City, Cantona retiring at 30, Becks and Nistelrooy going off to Madrid, United have never stopped working towards their ambition to be the best club to have ever played the game. Since the Ronaldo transfer saga started at the end of the 2007-08 season, it was getting harder and harder to keep him at Old Trafford. Sir Alex did eventually manage to convince him to stay for the next season. But didn't we all know he would leave and the end of the previous season? It was inevitable. Think about it. If United failed to win any silverware he'd leave saying "I need a new challenge". If United did win trophies (which they did) he'd leave saying "I've won all I possibly can with United. Its time to move on". I'm pretty sure Sir Alex knew that he was going to leave. So one piece of good news is that United had an entire season to prepare for this moment. It is now upto the strikers to fill in the hole Ronaldo has left behind. Rooney has certainly proved that hes up for the challenge scoring 3 of United's 6 goals in their 2 wins this season. Michael Owen was very impressive in the pre-season friendlies and scored an exquisite goal against Wigan Athletic. Hopefully his good form will continue throughout the season. Ronaldo's exit also ought to be Dimitar Berbatov's invitation to come to the fore. The Bulgarian is an elusive character, proud of his laid-back style in one moment and doubtful of his status the next. Like Rooney, he has a latent panache that should be expressed more often when Ronaldo no longer hogs the stage.
