I hope all of you are doing well. Maybe you haven't yet kicked me off your friends list. I would not blame you if you did, hell, I would have kicked myself off my friends list. So sorry, I've just been absolutely swamped with project work and no time to eat, let alone come online. I know it's not an excuse for being so lousy, but maybe you guys can understand how difficult it is. I can't wait to be done with my graduation.

Starting with my little darling, Louise Carrick with Lisa. She's so very squishy and small! Love her!
( Warning : Looking at these pics for too long may cause you to turn into mush )
Hmm, and to think there is another one on the way! Ana looks radiant, the baby must be due soon. I can't wait, he/she will be just as adorable!
No signs of little Molly Neville yet, either. It's just too bad that our last game is away this season too. We'll miss out on the bubba parade.

This pic made me smile, but overall I feel so damn worried. I was afraid to open the websites today and find out the actual count of our walking wounded. And it is as bad as I feared. Here's what I've found out:
Anderson - Had to be stretchered off, going for an x-ray, Fergie's really worried. If it's serious, could miss the rest of the season.
Rafael - Hamstring, out for 3-4 weeks.
Jonny Evans - Old ankle injury, out for a week at least.
Nani-Looked in loads of pain as he went off, they're keeping quiet on him.
Gaz and Giggsy - Couple of knocks.
And this is in addition to those that are already missing:
Roo and Evra - Not back till Feb
Rio and Wes - Maybe fit for the Everton game
Owen - out for the rest of the season.
Which means that the only fit defenders we have are Vida and O'Shea. Fucking hell!
Please, somebody just wrap Vida in a glass bubble for the next few weeks. At this rate, he may have to handle the whole defense all by himself.
*takes deep breath* Okay, we can cope. We have some good youngsters. Fabio must get a game now. And Chester got some playing time too. There's always Cathcart, we can recall him from loan, can't we? And Simmo too, of course. Fletch can do a job at RB, Gaz can fill in at CB. But please, no more injuries! We've had enough for the whole season, I reckon.
The game yesterday was pretty exciting. Loved the first half. Second half, the injuries messed us up. Poor Jonny, he shouldn't have continued on that twisted ankle. Good to see Nani and Ando doing well. Schorching goal by Nani. I love what O'Shea said in the interview afterwards "We all know what Nani is capable of when he concentrates" LOL!! He needs to start concentrating a lot more, methinks. Too bad Bambi didn't get a start, looked adorable sitting on the bench. And my baby Rodrigo, SAF had some nice words for him afterwards, said he would have come on if the injuries hadn't happened.
At the end of the day, I guess the important thing is WE'RE GOING TO WEMBLEY!! Even if it might be in an ambulance. :P
I've been a lousy LJ friend, I'm so sorry for not checking in often. I will try to be more regular. Hope all of you are doing well. *hugs*
But I feel so ashamed too. Oh Giggsy, please forgive me!!! When I saw the lineup, I couldn't believe that Sir Alex had left Michael out, picking Giggsy instead. Giggsy and Fletch against Ballack, Lampard, Deco, Joe Cole and Mikel. I honestly thought we would be horribly outrun, it would be a massacre. I was praying for a draw. But Giggsy proved me oh so wrong. He was brilliant, absolutely breathtakingly brilliant. He made Chelsea's midfield look terribly ordinary. Like Sir Alex said afterwards, they couldn't live with him. I've never been happier to be proved completely wrong. Well done, Ry! You're just a genius. Special mention to Fletch who worked his socks off and proved why he's such a big-game player.
My favorite part of the whole game(apart from the game itself) was the disallowed goal before half-time. That was just so ingenius! They really worked on it and pulled it off to perfection. Damn the linesman for being so shortsighted. Such genius deserved to pay off. And it's perfectly legal too. Aww, that would have been such an awesome goal. And poor Cris - that one and the one later which was wrongly flagged offside, he should have had them both. He played much better in the second half yesterday than he has whole season! Thoroughly deserved one goal at least. On a side note, how sick are Chelsea supporters to be singing "You should have died in that tunnel " ? To wish death on someone, that has to be the worst thing anyone can do, I don't care if it is meant in the name of rivalry or anywhere else.
Special praise to my sweetheart Jonny Evans. Darling, you made me proud! Everyone was going on about how Drogba would outmuscle him but Jonny didn't allow Drogba to even have a sniff. Of course, a huge part was down to Vida too, who was as brilliant as ever.
And Patrice Evra, the god among left-backs! How good is it to have him back? According to some forums, after the game in an interview with a French channel, he said "I dedicate this victory to the English FA!" *laughs* Oh, I love you so much, Pat!!!
I've found loads of pics and gif's courtesy of Redcafe, here:
( 30 + pics :) )
If we win our next two games, we'll go top of the table before the Merseyside Derby. I can hardly wait! It's been too damn long since we stamped our authority on that table. Come on boys, now please don't slip up against Wigan and Bolton!
EDIT: A huge huge congratulation to Gary and Emma on the birth of baby Molly! Aww, I'm so happy for them!! What a wonderful weekend for Gaz.

Okay, now this could be a genius move, or it could spectacularly backfire. I'm just enjoying everyone's reaction on RAWK and Redcafe.
I must say that I agree it is very Kevin Keegenish. Hope it has the same result! :)

*sighs* sorry, I think the lack of sleep is making me irritated, it has been a very long day. Ok, maybe things aren't quite so bad. After all, it's a pretty meaningless game, and if we are going to be awful in one game every season, I'd much rather prefer it to be in the Carling Cup. Besides, they do have to come to Old Trafford, and I'm pretty sure we'll win that one comfortably to take the semi-final. But it was still disappointing to watch. I think he got the whole team selection wrong. Scholesy and Anderson should not have played together in midfield, I don't think it was a game that suited them. I would have preferred to have Michael or Fletch in there to provide a little bit of defensive strength. Darron Gibson is pretty awful on the right wing, if he has to play, keep him in the center of midfield. And Tevez just does not convince me any more, maybe the whole contract issue is messing with his head. Also, I think the constant changing of the team is doing no one any favour. Never thought I'd say this, but Fergie, please stop rotating! At least in midfield. We've got no fluency because the players are not settled in any one position.Ah well, it's not done us that much harm. We're still in the competition, we just have to work that bit harder.
My parents would have a fit if they realised that I was up half the night yesterday. They can't understand how important it is to me. In fact, none of my friends can understand either. I told them today that United had lost, and all of them were like "Oh, is that even possible? Don't they win every game?" Yeah right, we're some invincible team that just has to turn up to win. *rolls eyes* I don't know why it made me so mad, I mean, they don't have a clue because they've probably never watched a game of football in their life. But they seemed to be insinuating that the only reason I follow United is because they win everytime. I felt like screaming out at them that when I started watching United, they hadn't won anything of note for years. ( Maybe I've proven to be lucky for them! :) ) I read a question on one of the forums, asking whether you'd prefer to watch a big game like Real Madrid vs Barcelona or United vs Derby, and my answer is United vs. Derby everytime. Even if we are as gash as we were last night. Even if it's a friendly. Hell, even if it's a choice between watching United play a school team and the World Cup Final, I'd still go for the United game.
Sorry for dumping this on here, I'm feeling very irritated today. And unfortunately, I have no one else to yell at. Hope all of you had a better day.

Yesterday was probably one of the worst days of my life. My cat died yesterday. It was really horrible. I think she ate a poisoned rat. That's what the vet said anyways. I don't think I'll ever forget how she looked. The poor thing threw up a couple of times, but we thought she had just eaten too much or something. Then later on, I saw her lying completely still with her eyes open. My heart stopped, cause she looked dead at that moment itself. But she kept having these horrible spasms in between.
The worst part was that there was nobody at home but me and my sister. We rushed her to the vet's clinic immediately, but it was lunchtime so there was nobody there. We asked around and managed to locate the vet's house. On reaching there, he was eating his lunch and told us to wait for a couple of minutes. By the time he came out and went to his clinic, it was too late.
I was completely numb on the way home. It was all I could do to stop the tears, cause I was driving and didn't want to cause an accident. I did break down when I got home. But then, I felt very guilty too. So many human beings are dying all over the world everyday. I didn't cry when I saw the death and destruction caused by the terror attacks in Mumbai last month. Those were real people with families, and friends and children. Of course, I felt horrible, but it didn't hit me that much because no one I knew was affected. And yet, here I am crying over a cat. Goes to show how terribly selfish we can be.
Sorry for dumping all this on here, I just felt like I had to speak about it.
Onto a slightly brighter topic, I was glad we had a game last night to take my mind off it. I was really exhausted though, and it took a lot of effort to get out of bed to watch it. Sometimes, I really detest late kick offs. But it was an ok game. Nice to see Dimi score, it was a really cool finish. And loved his celebration. Take that, the idiots who complain he's not passionate enough. There was enough passion there to light a fire. Great to get the 3 points. Bring on Chelsea now, I guess.

So, here's part one of my research - the lovely, curly haired, doe-eyed, Welsh Wizard, Mr. Ryan Giggs :
The game against Gamba Osaka was really entertaining, although it got a bit silly towards the end. Poor Vida, I hope his injury is not too bad. One thing which worried me is that our defense seemed to fall apart after he went off. He's been magnificent this season, an absolute rock. In fact, dare I say it, he's almost a better player than Rio now. Poor Rio has been very inconsistent, maybe his back is troubling him quite a lot.
Apart from the minor defensive collapse, everything one else looked ok. Giggsy had a good game, so did Ando. It was nice to have Scholesy back. Carlos worked hard, and for once, it paid off. Cris did not throw a tantrum. Nani did not hit that many shots into row z....okay, I've become very cynical. No honestly, it was good. Roo looked awesome when he came on. Fletch did well too.
Boo, I'll probably miss the game on Sunday. I'm going for a holiday with my family, and we'll be back next weekend. There's a wedding to attend too. So, if I don't come back in time, I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. I hope you have a great time with your loved ones. See you after the holidays. *hugs*
EDIT: We drew Inter!! Oh damn, we were just a whisker away from Real Madrid. I so wanted to draw them and beat them!!! Well, Liverpool will have to do it, I guess. And then we can beat them. According to the rule, we should win the CL if we do that!
Looking forward to seeing Jose again!

I want to sing that over and over again!! My baby! I love you so much today! Thank you, thank you for hitting that ball in to the net. Dear god, my heart is still beating wildly. I swear, if we hadn't won that game, I would have stopped believing in justice. I've never seen a more one-sided game in my whole life. We had 85% possession, for crying out loud! I don't think Sunderland ever crossed the half way line, except maybe towards the end.
Damn, that was insane!!! Whoosh, what a relief to finally get 3 points. It meant so much to the boys, they were all hugging and jumping around towards the end! Mikey was Motm and in his interview with Setanta, you could hear the boys singing Vida's song in the background! It was so adorable!! Aww, I love them all!!
( More pics... )
It's really late and I should go to bed, but I can's sit still. My heart is thumping so hard. I hate games like this! But then, they are the best too, cause you feel so good after it has ended! So very proud of everyone, well done for not giving up and going hard right till the end!
I'll post more coherantly later, just going to bask in the feeling right now! (Yes, it's only Sunderland, but I don't care! We nearly dropped two vital points, I'm just glad to get them)
EDIT: Added some pics!!!

I watched the game on Wednesday, it was terrific! Yay for Carlos, glad to see him scoring again. Ando did well too, and so good to see Scholesy back! Little Rafa impresses me with every game. Gaz not so much. To be fair, he was playing out of position. I was really glad to see Roddy too. His post match interview with Carlos was so cute. Carlos still cannot speak English, so Roddy was translating for him. I don't know whether they were talking in Portuguese or Spanish, but it sounded great! And he can speak Italian too, and English. So multilingual! I'm very impressed. :)
I can't wait for tomorrow's game, I hope it will be fun. Sad about Keano, but it's much better that he didn't leave after losing against us. Okay, I'm off to catch up on what I missed.

Ah, it's so satisfying when your youngsters do well! As you all probably know, I have a really big soft spot for all the reserves and academy lads, so I feel like a proud mother hen right now! Danny is just 17, I can't imagine how he must be feeling right now after scoring in front of 76,000 people. Really well done to him! I hope he gets to play loads more and continues to do well.
Okay,
The cutest moment of the game? After Danny scored, they showed the bench and Fergie seemed to be comforting Carlos Tevez.It was so damn adorable!! Carlos had this embarassed smile on his face, and Fergie was outrightly laughing. I desperately want to know what Fergie said to him! I bet it was something like "That's how you do it, Carlos lad!'

As an apology, here are some pics from the UNICEF dinner. All our boys are looking gorgeous, and their partners are very nicely dressed too(with just one or two exceptions!)
I totally have a girl-crush on Lisa! And that dress is to die for. My Mikey looks very smart and adorable too.
Don't know who the chick is, don't like her much either. But doesn't Roddy clean up nicely?
( Click Click )
All the ressies came in their Man United suits, that's so cute! Everyone looked fab! I'm just sad that we missed Rio, Roo & Col, Gaz and Emma, Fletch and Owen. Scholesy was probably not interested. Carlos was there with his wife, and all the cameras seemed to focus on them. It's amazing what a scandal will do to your status. He was probably the most photographed person there.
Really looking forward to the game tonight. I think Roddy will start, and so should Jonny and a few of the others. Hope I get to watch it. *keeps fingers crossed*
Going to catch up with your posts now.

Well, that was completely satisfying! It's so good to see them back on form, dominating games and winning things comfortably again. I loved today's game, we played really well. Very well done to everyone. And that too in such horrible weather! The pitch was resembling a swimming pool at the end! And I don't think it stopped raining for a minute. But despite that we still managed to pass the ball very nicely and sharply!
First half was a bit of a slow start, maybe because of the weather. But we caught on quickly. The goal was a bit lucky, because the ref could have blown for a foul. I don't think it was, but then, you never know. I'm so delighted for Wes. No one deserves a goal more. He's really had a tough time lately, and it's great to see him happy again. The boys were so happy for him too, I thought Rio and Vida were going to crush him!
After that, we dominated completely. They had a few chances but Rio and Vida were as unmovable as ever. Second goal was truly classy. Lovely work by Cris, and great finish by Wazza. Aww, it was so good to see them celebrate together as well! That peck on the neck, so cute!!
I
Cristiano's crossing is way off the mark still. And he had a horrid time today, they kept fouling him. But credit to him that he persevered and got the assist and nearly got another one for that Tevez effort. Also, I loved seeing him point to the champions badge on his sleeve after the Rovers fans threw the ball at him! I know it doesn't mean anything, but still.
Our away support was fantastic! I could hear them loud and clear over the TV. They went through all the songs, from Viva Ronaldo/Viva John Terry to the Anderson one, the Park one, Rooney's, and even the oldies like You are my Solskjaer and There's only One Keano!! Plus my favorite, the 'We'll Never Die" towards the end. Also, they knew exactly when to sing which song. Poor Cris was having a torrid time, and getting really frustrated, so he would have perked up on hearing Viva Ronaldo and He plays on the Left. I think that is what inspired him to get that assist! I don't think Blackburn fans managed even one song! It was so good to hear! A huge round of applause to them.
All in all, a terrific game!

For once, I'm not going to bore you with my thoughts on the game, because it's very late and I need to sleep. I'm just glad we won, and played really well. Well done to Cris and Wayne, good to see them back and scoring goals. Very, very well done to Fletch who's been the player of the season for me so far.
I'll just spam you with pics from the game, instead.

tessalonso) you're the most amazing person on this earth!! I got the parcel yesterday, and they're gorgeous!! Thank you so much! And you got the programme from the Old Trafford game too, that's so sweet! Oh wow, I never knew that they were so detailed and colourful. I loved reading it. I'm still on the Anfield one, and it's pretty amazing. I loved the programme notes from Rafa, the Stevie interview, the Mascherano interview, the gorgeous pics, everything really! Also, I didn't know that about Sir Matt Busby, that was very interesting. I can't wait to read the Old Trafford one. I see some gorgeous pics of Owen in there! I don't know how to thank you, I'm so touched that you went through all this trouble for me, despite how much you hate my team. If there is anything at all that I can do for you, you'll let me know, right?
Just to show you some of my appreciation, I've got a Xabi picspam for you. You've probably seen all the pics, but just in case you want to see them again:

I think I'm completely numb. My darling Rodrigo!! I saw the challenge, and god, it's so horrific. I have tears in my eyes. How can anyone do something like that? Especially to a kid who's just playing his first game. Oh god, please don't let it be serious. I started crying when I saw the video. He looked in so much of agony. Oh god, it reminded me of the Eduardo injury. I know it's a horrible thing to be so selfish, but I just pray that it's not quite so bad. Roddy, Roddy, please be all right, darling. I wish I could stay at home and wait for the news, I know I won't be able to concentrate at all in college.
That fu**ing w**ker, I hope someone breaks his leg someday. Doesn't that bastard realise that he could have ended someone's career? And he had the nerve to plead his innocence! Oh god if I were in England right now I'd bloody well search him down and cut off the part of his body that he'll miss the most.
My hands are still shaking. And I can't stop repaying it over and over in my head. It broke my heart to see him in so much of pain. Rodrigo's so young, this is totally unfair. He doesn't deserve it at all. Please be all right, I coudn't bear it if it were a serious injury.
I'm too upset to even think about the result. Things like this make you realise that results don't matter quite so much. Not when someone's carreer could be on the line. Oh god, he's only 19!!! He should be playing for the first team and showing everyone how amazingly talented he is, not lying on a bed in an hospital just because some *rick couldn't tackle propery. If there is any justice in the world, he will recover from it fully and go on to show everyone what I've always believed in, that he is one of the best young footballers to ever play for us. Going off now, I hope I hear some better news soon. My poor baby, I'll be praying for you as hard as I can. *wipes away tears*
EDIT: The papers say that nothing is broken. Thank god for that! Sorry for the overly emotional post but I was so worried he'd never come back. It was a disgusting tackle!- Location:home
- Mood: numb
A point at Stamford Bridge? I'll take that, thank you very much. Honestly, I'm not that disappointed. I always knew that they would score, we were just begging them to come at us and score. I don't know what's wrong, we seem to play brilliantly for the first 20 minutes, get the goal, and then sit back and invite all the pressure. It would have been so much easier, had we got the second goal when we were on top.
Ah well, I'm not going to complain too much. I think the boys gave their all, and defended like demons. I'm happy with the effort and commitment shown by them. Yes, we're still horribly rusty, and a bit confused as to what should be our most effective line-up. Also, Mikey being injured has fucked up the central midfield completely because Scholesy's age is catching up with him(sorry Scholesy, I love you, but you weren't all that great today), Owen is just back from injury(but did a tremendous job on the right) and Anderson is out of form. Fletch is the only one who's looked good. Thank god for Ji and his boundless amounts of energy. I really love him, he's been tremendous. Same goes for Pat, who plays more like a winger than a full-back.
Another one I love, Johnny Evans. I thought he was brilliant. Hardly put a foot wrong. Considering that he's only 20 and playing against the SECOND best team in England and Europe, that is a remarkable achievement. Of course, Rio deserves a huge amount of credit for getting the partnership to work. However, Rio is so good that you expect him to put in brilliant performances week in week out. I'm glad to see that our defense is in good hands.
Can't say the same about the strikers. I think Fergie was wrong to pick Wayne ahead of Carlos. I love Wayne, but I think he's horribly off form at the moment. Some of the passes he made today made me cringe. Not to mention the horrible late tackle which led to their goal. Plus, he seems to spend more time mouthing off to the ref rather than scoring. I hate having to criticize him, but he really needs to do better. Although, I was pretty glad for his tracking back ability, when he cleared away a dangerous cross into our box.
Now onto Dimi. Hmm, what can I say? It was a very poor game for him. Many people are slating him for being lazy and uninterested, but we have to remember that he's playing the first two games of his career as a United player, and that too at Anfield and SB. It's hardly going to be a bed of roses. He's still not used to the pace at which we play. Many times his passes were behind the player rather than at their feet. Plus, I thought he did well at winning the ball in the first half. Just needs more time.
A word about Cris, he looks really ginger at the moment. I think he's afraid he'll get injured again. That's why he's not able to put in as much effort as is expected. And I really hope that was the reason for the absolutely ridiculous dive. Come on Cris, let's not fall back into the old habbits.
Thankfully, we're done with the week from hell. Two of our toughest away games out of the way. Hopefully, it will get easier from now on. Cheer up, United fans. It could have been a lot worse. We'll definitely get better.
Oh, and I never thought I'd say this, but I was actually very gleeful to see Liverpool draw yesterday. Hah, you can beat us but not beat Stoke City at home. I guess there is more of a 'Manc' in me than I thought! :-)

I've been bitten by the Dimi-bug, and have a new found appreciation of how gorgeous he is! I thought I'd share it with you, So here:
Okay, getting out of fangirl mode and into the more serious stuff, I watched Wednesday's game against Villareal, and although I was disappointed in the draw, I found the performance quite ok. Yeah, sure, we didn't create that many chances, but I though it was the best we've played all season, barring the first 10 mins vs Liverpool.
I was so happy to see Johnny Evans play!! And although he didn't have much to do, he was very calm and composed throughout. I really hope he plays on Sunday too. Also, huge credit to Ji and Pat, I though they were our best players. Ji fought like the devil for every ball and kept going on and on. He should have had two penalties, he was really unlucky. And Pat made those surging runs into their penalty box which really troubled their defenders. Nani did ok too, he actually managed not to give away the ball!
Of course, the biggest event was the reappearance of one Cristiano Ronaldo. I want your opinion, United fans. Did any of you feel disappointed in the reception he got? I certainly did. Maybe I'm being petty and bitter, but I had hoped that the fans would be just a little bit cold towards him. Not boo him, because that would be disgraceful, but I just wish they'd refrained from the all out adoration. What he did this summer should not be forgotten so easily. Come on, what sort of message does that send out to the young players? That you can be as disloyal as you like and we'll forgive them just like that? That years of service given by the likes of Giggsy, Scholesy, Gaz etc means nothing to us? I don't think that is right.
Having said that, I am delighted he's back. We have missed him on the pitch. In the 30 mins that he played, he proved to be more dangerous than the whole team combined. I hope that he can play a big part on Sunday too. I'm really looking forward to that game. I know everyone is convinced that we're going to lose, but I refuse to believe that. I have this gut feeling that this Sunday is going to be very good for us. Call me crazy if you like, but I can never ever imagine Man United going down without a fight. We will show everyone what we're made of. BELIEVE!!!

Michael Carrick to miss six weeks after breaking foot
Michael Carrick, the Manchester United midfielder, could be out for six weeks after breaking a bone in his foot. Carrick limped out of United's 2-1 defeat by Liverpool on Saturday and left Anfield on crutches.
The England midfielder will certainly miss Wednesday's Champions League match against Villarreal at Old Trafford, as well as Sunday's Premier League clash with Chelsea on Sunday.
Carrick, 27, is also set to be on the sidelines from the Champions League group games against Aalborg and Celtic.

It is even worse than I feared. Oh, sweetie, I'm so very sorry for you!! I wish there was something I could do. Please heal quickly, we can't have you out for so long.
*sighs* There is someone up there who's got a wierd sense of humour and who takes everything I say very literally. I was just musing about how Michael's season this year is mirroring Xabi's from last year, regarding the injury situation, and voila, I get proof. Well, I'm certainly not laughing.
Grrrr, Yossi, I could almost come all the way to Liverpool and punch you. No, I don't care that it was unintentional. You had no right to hurt my Mikey. *wails*
So that's it. We'll be playing Chelsea with practically half our first team out injured. And fu****ing John Terry gets his ban overturned. Just great. Damn, I so want to beat those arrogant pri***s. Come on boys, don't let me down. Oh, and take care of Villareal first, okay?
